KISHIMOTO: "From now on, you're my partner!"
I even gave my plant a name: Ukki-kun, as in "Mr. Ukki."
KISHIMOTO: "Well, Ukki, you look very shiny and green today!"
Ukki: "........."
KISHIMOTO: "It was a good day for the photosynthesis, huh?"
Ukki: "........."
KISHIMOTO: "Today I'm going to give you an excellent fertilizer for vigorous growth!"
We were a super-team.
Assistant A: "What is this Mr. Kishimoto? How did your plant get all dried out?"
KISHIMOTO: "What are you saying?! I gave Ukki the best care!"
Assistant A: "You mean this? This fertilizer is concentrated, so you need to dilute it a lot. Oh no! You mean you didn't dilute it?!"
Sigh...
