Unknown Dimension, Uzume's Base

They soon made it back to Uzume's Base as they were celebrating for rescuing Umio and Neptune said.

Neptune: Let's celebrate Umio's rescue, everyone! Cheers!

N/U: Cheers!

Kirby: Poyo!

Umio (Sweatdrop): Cheers... is what I wish to say, but why is this a roasted fish party?

Uzume: Well, this is the only food I had on hand. Man, I'm glad I fished up so much for the reverse supply.

Umio: I understand what you are saying, and I also understand that fish is the most abundant nutritional resource in the are...

Umio: But, for me, this is basically cannibalism... and this is freshwater fish, at that...!

Uzume: Ohh... yeah... right. Aw, man, I'm sorry, Umio.

Neptune: Don't fret, Umio, Uzume hears ya. I'll get you some krill in a little bit.

Umio: Krill? Hm. Well, perhaps I will partake.

Nepgear: I'm sorry, too, Umio. We wanted to celebrate your return but we didn't really know how to prepare anything very elaborate...

Nepgear: I can make simple sweets, but when it comes to meals, it's not really my strong suit...

Umio: It's nothing you need to apologize for, Gearsy. The gesture is more than enough for me. Thank you. 

Nepgear: By the way, what do you two usually eat? I can't imagine there are many other things available aside from canned foods.

Umio: When necessary, we do utilize our canned goods, but normally, Uzume prepares meals with anything she can find out there.

Umio: Granted, they're simple dishes, of course, and we generally season and heat the gathered ingredients to create our meals.

Neptune: Ooooh! You guys should have your own survival reality show or something!

Neptune: So, have you ever eaten locusts or snakes or frogs before?

Uzume: Ugghh!! Oh my gosh, like, seriously? No freakin' way, Nepsy! Ewww, slimy little frogs legs... Totally gross!

Umio: Uzume, language...

Uzume: ...*Cough*

Uzume: Yeah, no way in hell I'd eat one of those ugly things.

Neptune: Awww. It'd have been really cool if you were able to chow down on some exotic grub like that. Oh, well.

Uzume: C-C-Cool...?! D-Do you mean I could be... cool?!

Nepgear (thoughts): Huh? Uzume's kinda cute getting excited about being cool...

Neptune: Ummm, DUH!

Uzume: I see... so, people think you're cool if you can eat frog... Maybe I'll try it out...

Nepgear then stops Uzume from getting tricked by Neptune and said

Nepgear: W-Wait, don't get tricked, Uzume!

Nepgear: Neptune! You gotta stop saying weird things like that to people, it's not very nice!

Bandana Dee started to write something and showed it to Neptune which she reads.

Neptune: Your sister Nepgear has a good point. And besides, seeing Uzume eating frogs would be gross and not cool.
