*I think Rottytops is a little too underrated. Also (y/n)'s personality is supposed to be a genius inventor in this story. Just think of yourself as a socially awkward Tony Stark.*
When a qualified genius meets an obstinate and flirty zombie girl...
After that whole treasure hunt and that little fight against that psychotic pirate lady, I went to Mimic's workshop the next day to inspect it. We were sitting at the work bench, inspecting the relic until Bolo came in with three boxes.
"Hey guys. I'm back from the docks." Bolo said, setting down the boxes.
"Ah, my good friend. So glad you made it. I was worried you might've fallen in." I replied.
"Yeah, well... at least the place wasn't packed today. That would've been a real pain." Bolo responded approaching me and Mimic.
"Heh. I remember this one time where Bolo fell into the bay. You could be quite the clumsy one, my boy." Mimic added on.
Bolo kinda blushed and rubbed his head in embarrassment. "Sorry." Bolo said.
"I don't think he's clumsy. I think he's really determined with his tasks while being clumsy with it. I find you really endearing for that actually." I told Bolo.
Bolo rubbed his head and made a weak smile. "Gosh... I don't know what to say to that." Bolo responded.
I just chuckled in return. I then directed my focus back to the relic we were inspecting. "So, titanium steel, with an obsidian shell-" I was then cut off by an annoyingly high-pitched voice. "Uncle Mimic!"
We then turned around and saw the same girls I saw yesterday, including Rottytops at the door.

"Ah, My niece! So glad you could make it!" Mimic said, getting up from his seat. He approached the purple-haired girl and embraced her. He released her from his grasp. "Oh, have you met (y/n)? He's my new assistant. I'm his tutor for the time being." Mimic told her.
I just waved and nodded. I immediately looked down afterwards. She looked at me. "I've seen him the last time I was here." The girl said while approaching me. She gave me a warm smile as she offered me a hand to shake. "Nice to meet you, (y/n)! My name's Shantae, The Guardian Genie of this town!" She said with delight.
I didn't really care who she was or why she was acting so friendly, but I decided to play along. "H-Hey. Pleased to meet you... miss." I said awkwardly while shaking her hand.
