[Boy this seems awfully familiar! However, this time Maoh isn't exactly planning on using Kanji's gear as a pool floaty. ~~Thank goodness somebody learned his lesson!~~ But anyways-- as per usual, Maoh accidentally hit one of the buttons that records things. He stops with what he was doing and leans in to the screen. However, he's no longer the cute and adorable Pichu he used to be when Kanji first got him. Some time after recovering from his pool adventure he and Kanji had a little heart-to-heart conversation that ended up with him evolving into a Pikachu towards the end.

Anyways--!!! Once finished pressing all the buttons he wanted to press he wanders on over to Kanji, who is currently sitting with a lap full of fluffy yarn on the floor in his room. Maoh pays him no mind since he's busy making things.

Next to him is that Meowth egg he bought from Kyou a while ago. ~~(And even though it should have hatched a while ago-- Iiii kind of forgot he bought one. oops orz;;)~~ The egg has a tiny little yarn hat on the top of it's....shell???!!! Curiously, Maoh approaches it and touches it lightly.]

Chuuu?

Hey, be careful with that Maoh. It cou--

[And at that time the egg lights up (aka dis egg be hatchinnn bitchessss!!!) Kanji and Maoh give each other a weird wide-eyed look before turning their attention back to the hatching egg.]

What.... what did you do?

I didn't expect Dad to actually give him a job, either... Hehe.

Yeah, that was pretty nice of him.

Yeah, Dad's not bad about that stuff. I mean, he's really strict about work, especially with me but... he's okay otherwise.

It's probably 'cause he's got high expectations of you. And how you're the model.... I dunno, worker? Employer? Employer at the store. People need to know where the expectations are, and shit.

Yeah, if it actually worked that way, maybe. It's not like anyone actually took me seriously, you know? Unless they thought I could help them get their schedules changed. [Scratches his head a little. Junes = not what he wants his career to be.]

Well it's just a side job for you, yeah? Junes isn't something that you're gonna be in charge of when you get older. It's not like you're Yukiko with the Amagi Inn, or me with the shop. Unless your dad wants you to, or somethin'

I think it would be like that if he had his way. He's been working at Junes forever... he moved up from doing what I'm doing now until he got his own store. [He shrugs.] I know it's not really what he wanted to do with his life, but he's still got a lot of pride in it.

[He pauses, a bit thoughtfully.] I guess I wanna do more than just work in a store like that my whole life, though.

Ohhh, I get it. I think. So he knows you don't want to do this for your whole life? Man that must be nice. [he pauses.] N-Not that ma's forcin' me to hold on to the store when I get older. It'd be a shame to see it go after they worked so hard to get it where it is today, and junk.

Yeah, but you also like that stuff, you know? It's kind of different that way. [Ruffling his hair.] A-anyways... I think he's got an idea, but I've never told him or anything. He seems kind of set on teaching me all that stuff.

I like making the stuff. Selling it is a completely different thing, man. I'm.... not exactly the best people person right now. [he rubs his neck and nods.] Well still, I think having that stuff in the back of your pocket could be nice. You know, for experience and shit.

Dude... you really shouldn't worry about that part too much? Yeah, okay... you're not the best at it right now but you've gotten a hell of a lot better since last year.

Yeah, but what if I don't get better in the future. I don't wanna bring them down, yanno?

Well, if you keeping thinking like that....

[he sighs.]

Dude, you know I'm right.

Y-yeeeeah...

You gotta lighten up on yourself sometimes, dude.

If only it were that easy man...

You think I don't know that? [Laughs a little, self-mockingly.]

Yeah. Just wish it wasn't as hard.

That makes two of us... [Sigh.] Guess we'll just have to cheer each other on sometimes... or something. Hehe.

Yeah, or something.
