Meanwhile, at a luxury hotel:
The rest of the gang found themselves in one of the finest, Parisian hotels. Although, to be completely honest, it was rather unsurprising considering that the gang were in Paris, a place well-renowned for its architecture.
This hotel, in particular, was especially jaw-dropping. Somehow, the place had an outstanding view over Paris, with the Eiffel Tower fully visible to the naked eyes. The reception was as spacious as the holes in Maru's empty heart, with the decorated ceiling being accentuated by what seemed like jewels and diamonds.
More impressively, the reception area also had a massive fountain which spouted water out of it like a fish throwing up. In fact, at the very top and centre of the fountain, there was a statue of a fish doing exactly that. Maru did try and imitate the fish, failing, although the attempt was rather laughable and entertaining for the rest as they watched Maru get extremely wet.
But for Ethan, there was more on his mind than just the splendour.
"How are we even paying for this?"
"Oh, I just billed it in your name." Replied Maru in a snarky manner.
"Praytell how much this was..." asked Ethan faintly.
"Just €42069 per second."
With that extortionate amount, Ethan fainted on the spot, falling somewhat ungraciously to the smooth marble floor.
"And it's not even his bedtime." Wen remarked.
One minute later:
"HOW DARE YOU SPEND MY PRECIOUS MONEY?!" attacked Ethan ferociously, slapping Maru with a fish claymore.
Maru cowered behind Mik, who was in fact, not mutated.
"Save me my prince" he cried."Uhhh, I am only the prince for Mayu my good fellow.", huffed Mik poshly like a Tory, "Besides, stop pulling on my hair, peasant. My hair is required for the finest of pink Cat Ears to fit on."
Mayu, slightly cringing at Maru's lack of manliness, averted her attention to the massive restaurant in the Parisian hotel.
"Hey, Wen, let's avoid these men... and Ashu."
"Isn't that..." squinted Wen, "VRAIMENT CHIC??!"
"Yeah, that restaurant sounds fancy af." said Mayu, "Let's go waste Ethan's money there!"
Fortunately, Mayu and Wen managed to sneak away as the three men were cowering under the almost creepy aura of Ashu forcing them to form a kpop boyband. Otherwise, Ethan may have just decided to sue literally everyone for spending his money without his permission... and we couldn't have that, could we?
