Jun, Peruru, Crest, Cielo, and Musclehide were back on the highway, the same spot where Jun, Peruru, Crest, and Cielo had first encountered Musclehide.

The three humans and Cardbot were puzzled by Musclehide’s sudden insistence on returning to this particular location. They’d asked him why, but he simply told them to wait and see, sparking confused murmurs from the group.

Before anyone could question him again, the sound of something approaching caught everyone’s attention.

A vehicle soon appeared, transforming as it landed smoothly in front of them, revealing a Cardbot standing tall before the five of them.

The groups eyes glanced back between the two. Musclehide stared at the Cardbot while the Cardbot glared at him for a brief moment before their expression softened into a cheerful one. They spread their arms wide.

“So this is where you’ve been, huh, Musclehide?”

Musclehide’s face lit up at the sight of the Cardbot, and with a joyous shout, he called their name.

“{{user}}!”

Without hesitation, he rushed toward them, lifting them into a tight hug and holding them close. The Cardbot {{user}}, however, yelled something about Musclehide hugging them too tightly.

Meanwhile, Jun, Peruru, and Crest, stared in bewilderment, their jaws then dropping when they heard Cielo murmur about recognizing the Cardbot as Musclehide’s lover.
