You would sooner stick your dick in Nu-13's mouth than try to talk to the crazed twin-tailed cat-bitch again, but then you had a telepathic conversation with Litchi's exquisite boobs, Jug A and Jug B, and the two were making quite a bit of sense. Jug A explained to you that Professor Kokonoe is rough around the edges, but she's incredibly wise and useful. Jug B explained that it wasnt for the Professor, their master wouldve never found over 786 possible treatments to restore her future husband back to his former glory. As much as you hate to admit it, Litchi's bujumblees were right. Kokonoe did have her own little Player Help sitcom for a reason...

"You two have a point-ERR!!" you jerked your head upward, AWAY from Litchi's colossal chest and pointed it to her colossal head, "I mean YOU have a point! I... I guess it wouldnt hurt to talk." If you cant trust jugs, who can you trust?
Litchi gave you a cute smile, then bowed a cute bow, "Thank you, John. I assure you, I'll settle things right and with the professor's help, you'll be back to normal before you know it!"
At least her assurance is very assuring. If she's confident, her boobs are confident, that thing between your legs is confident, and YOURE confident!

"I take it that the um... patient is willing to cooperate?" almost out of nowhere, the big buff Tager appeared behind Lichi. The bulky yet gentle Ying to Kokonoe's tiny but ferocious Yang.
Able to walk again.

"Yes he is," Litchi proudly announced as she turned to Tager, "and how's the professor?"
Tager couldnt hide the look of stress in his eyes with those shades of his as he scratched the back of his head, "She's um... still upset. In fact, she's STILL washing her hands from touching the little human." Bummer. But at least TAGER refers to you as a 'human'. Good kitty.

Boobie-lady sighed, "Alright, I better have a talk with her. I'll be right back, John. Tager, can you watch over John while I'm gone?"
"I can try, but I cant be held legally responsible for his safety if he tries to run off on his own." Geez, youre not a stray dog! You'll stay put if you need to.
"Thanks, Tager!" And with that Jug A, Jug B, and that other chick headed out, leaving just you and big guy.

One of the major things that made you feel comfortable about being around Tager was that he reminded you of your cat, Tigger. Tigger was quite possibly the MANLIEST of cats out there, even more manly that most men you know. He was brave, he was bold, none of the other neighbor cats or strays would dare mess with him, he made you feel safe and sound when he hung around in your room while you slept, he even scared away that big mean stray dog when he chased after poor little Becky. One good cold stare left the big dog running away with his tail between his legs! Even when he got old and sick and you had to have him put down, he took it like a man with no fear. You remember that last bold stare he gave you as they took him through the door as if to say 'Seeya on the other side, old pal!'
God, you miss Tigger.

"I um..." suddenly Tager broke the sad moment of silence, "I must apologize on behalf of my associate. Her behavior tonight was very unprofessional." Decent of the guy to apologize on her behalf.
"Eh, dont sweat it," you tell him, "I bet she's probably handful to deal with on a regular basis, huh?"
Tager shrugged, "I'd be lying if I said that wasnt true. However, her positive points heavily outweigh her negative ones."
"Oh?"
"Despite her attitude issues, she's very wise and knowledgeable on many topics. From history and literature, to battle strategies and war tactics, all the way down to dating advice!"
You squinted your eyes, "Dating advice?"
Tager grinned and nodded, "It's true! Thanks to her, I'm currently rated the A+++ Hunk o' the Month on MillenniumDreamboats.com!"
"...Wow," was the only thing you could think of saying. Quite a brainwave there!

"Then again it's quite ironic," Tager has a brainwave of his own, "she's knows virtually everything regarding intimate relationships, yet I've never seen HER with a significant other!" HAH!!
You snickered a little, "Well... they say it all comes down to physical attraction and personality."
"That... explains a lot, actually." You laughed again from hearing that.

Before you could press Tager even more on the professor's love life or lack of, Dr. Litchi returned to the room... with HER dragging behind. You saw Kokonoe sneering angrily as she sucked on her silvervine lollipop. If you werent the size of a bug, you'd tell her where she can stick that lollipop.

"WE'RE BACK!" Lichi happily announced as Kokonoe looked away like an impatient spoiled brat.
"Uh huh."
"Uh huh." both you and Tager spoke in unison.

Litchi seems excited about something. Did she talk some sense into the mad Professor.
"John... the Professor has something she'd like to say to you. Isnt that right, Ms. Kokonoe?"
Professor Kokonoe groaned impatiently as she shifted the lollipop in her mouth. She stomped toward Tager, who obediently stepped out of her way and looked down at you. The irritated glare on her face sent you to chills and gave you flashbacks.

"Professor Kokonoe?" The Jug Sisters' master spoke up from behind, "what is it you wanted to tell John?"
Kokonoe closed her eyes, plucked out her lollipop and sighed, "I'm sorry... for threatening to horribly murder you." That apology sounded TOTALLY sincere! TOTALLY authentic, too! Definitely NOT b.s. or anything!
"And?" Litchi spoke up. Good, Kokonoe wasnt done!
"I'm also sorry for trying to squeeze the living crap out of you until your eyes burst." It sounded like she was reading off a teleprompter!
"And?"
"Grr!" Kokonoe growled with impatience, "I'm sorry I said I was going to track down your family and butcher them in front of your dissected youngest sibling while I use your father like a humanoid vibrator." SHE NEVER SAID THAT LAST PART!!

'You... sick... FUCK!' you mouthed fiercely, DARE not saying it out loud!

"AND?"
*Crack!* Kokonoe crack her lollipop between her jaws after Litchi's third 'And?'.
"ALRIGHT ALRIGHT! I'm sorry I thought you were a bug! Youre clearly not a bug," she finally admitted it although she mouthed 'youre a parasite.'
Sadly, that was the closest you'll get to an apology from the professor.

"That's ok. I forgive you," you lied through the skin of your teeth, "I myself apologize for trying to gouge your friggin eyeball out with a sewing needle."
"YOU TRIED TO-"
"Ahem!" Litchi cut Kokonoe's rage short.
Tail-lady coughed and assumed her calm, "I accept your apology, Mr. Foster."
"Call me John," you tried to be polite.
"Nah... 'Foster' sounds more fitting for the likes of you," why that smartass! "OW!" fortunately, Litchi was quick to nudge her in the side, "...I mean, as you wish, John!"

"This is going to be a long night, isnt it?" truer words have never been spoken from Tager.

Fortunately, your polite mammary efficient savior was quick to lighten the mood, "Perhaps, Tager. So why dont we all take a nice stroll outside? The stars have never looked so lovely as tonight!"
"It beats being cooped up indoors for so long," Tager took up that offer.
Professor Kokonoe sighed, "...Well... if it means I dont have to pay overtime, sure why not?"
"It's not like I have someplace else to be," you replied, "I'm up for it."

"This will be a great opportunity for John and Kokonoe to cope and make up for earlier," oh crap, figures Lichi would try to make you bond with HER! "Professor?"

Kokonoe groaned and lowered her hand toward you, "Climb in my hand, John." Was she serious?!

"Hell no!" you were quick to turn her down.
"CLIMB IN MY HAND, JOHN." Kokonoe gritted her teeth and repeated herself.
"I would rather swallow battery acid served in Tager's asscrack than put my life in the palm of your hand!" you boldly stated. Sure enough, Kokonoe didnt like your answer.
"You climb in my hand right now or I'll pound-"
"Professor!" Litchi once again cut her off, then turned her head to you, "it's ok, John. We trust our lives to her. You can too."

Even they want you to do it. You dont trust Kokonoe as far as she can throw you, but youre gonna need her help sooner or later. If the MCs need her wisdom, so will you.
Still, can you honestly afford to give her the opportunity of a quick and easy demise the minute you find yourself alone with her without Tager and Litchi around?!
