Watering the last blue melon.

Finally, we reached our goal of 5000 blue melons!

Eating blue melons every day is getting dull. But it’s still better than ration bars.

“ Yes! We did it!”

[ Hurray!]

“ Yay!” cheers Bubuga.

We give each other 2-hand high-fives and 2-paw high-fives with the Kitten.

Purgatory wallet.

“ It’s time to save our money to $10 million,” says Bubuga. “ We will use our new profits and blue melons to make an Asterie drink factory.”

“ Hey, can we buy 3 burgers to celebrate?”

“ Sure,” agrees Bubuga.

[ It better be as good as expensive kitten snacks.]

Open Shop.

• You have bought 3 burgers for a total of $225.

3 burgers pop into existence in front of our feet. It’s interesting because the 3 burgers are completely different. Every burger is probably custom made to each person. My burger is classic beef, cheese, lettuce, etc...

Kitten’s burger is 2 buns with thick kitten food paste in between.

Bubuga’s burger is bizarre. It’s 2 buns and a thick black food mixture paste in between.

Taking the first bite of my burger.

Fuck it’s just as good as I last remember.

[BLEUGH! This is horrible!]

“ Kitten! Don’t waste that burger, let me eat it for you.”

[ Master! You were planning to trick me so you can eat 2 burgers yourself? I’m returning this burger.]

“ What? How am I supposed to know you don’t like eating burgers?”

“ Hahahahaha!” laughs Bubuga.

[ I can’t return eaten food. You can have this burger Bubuga.]

“ Oh thank you, Kitten,” says Bubuga.

“ But… I’m your Master? Why…”

[ Because Bubuga gives better belly rubs and she isn’t tricking me.]

“ It’s not a trick! ...Alright, Bubuga can have 2 burgers. She does deserve it for helping us get this far.”

“ We can share this burger,” beams Bubuga.

[ So it was a trick after all huh Master?]

• You have bought a $200 Kitten Snack.

“ Look at what I got here.”

[ Please give it to me!] drools Kitten.

“ It’s a not a trick, see?”

“ So cute,” grins Bubuga.

[ *Nom* *Nom* *Nom*. Okay I guess master isn’t tricking me.]

“ Exactly.”

We took some time to sit around and enjoy our delicious food. Sharing a burger with Bubuga is quite a lovey-dovey experience. She takes a bite then I take a bite. We are always eating each other’s bite marks.

Kitten is purring against me. She is enjoying her kitten snacks.

Ahhhh, Life is peaceful.

[ Oh wow, master! Bubuga wants to make a drink to make you smarter.]

“ I KNEW IT! Food and drinks can increase your stats!”

“ Yes," agrees Bubuga. " We will be making close to $2 million a day once our asterie drink factory is set up.”

“ But I don’t understand. The descriptions never told me about any stats increase before.”

“ Because it’s my knowledge,” states Bubuga. “ I drank asterie during my miserable life in the landfill before.”

“Oh sorry, Bubuga.”

“ Don’t be Never,” assures Bubuga. “ If you listen to my entire life story, you would have known that. After we prevent the erasure of Super Clean Landfill. Please give me 100 years of your life to fully listen to my story.”

“ Um…. I uh...”

[ Haha Master! Good luck with your harem member #1.”]

“ You too Kitten,” smirks Bubuga. “ That is if you still want my belly rubs.”

[ Please no Bubuga. I gave you my money.]

“ Hmm that is true,” admits Bubuga. “Then only Never has to listen to my story completely. You’re spared Kitten.”

[ Awww Yes!]

“ … I will listen to your story completely but can we start by doing 2 hours a day?”

“ Of course,” smiles Bubuga. “ Time is infinite in the purgatory. As long as you listen to my story, I will be extremely happy.”

Bubuga got 200 intelligence by eating random trash every day. I remember hearing this from her before ( Ch 9 Drawing and Burger). So it turns out you need to consume expensive stuff to get stats. Bubuga’s probably has eaten so many random things edible or non-edible. Her food knowledge is vast. She is the most important member of our purgatory. I feel truly grateful for her.

Bubuga was alone for 4,403 years without anyone to talk to. Listening to Bubuga’s life story is something I must do.
