The relationships in the family did not change a lot due to Pixel being busy a lot of the time but she had made some time to see Micah and Cleo.
Her relationship with them became closer through their meetings and her elder sister Felice may not have become closer like them but they both had gained some understanding of each other since the hunting competition.
The sisters of the family had the closest relationships that could be had within the family while Milo had rarely shown himself and Maximillion was often outside of the family playing around.
The relationship between Pixel and Felice was one where they had some understanding of the other and talked on occasion when they were in the same room but they would not go to see the other.
Cleo and Felice would sometimes spend some time drinking and eating sweets together when Micah was not around.
Cleo's relationship with Micah was what made it possible for them to get acquainted more but their relationship grew from there and Pixel quickly discovered that her youngest sister was very kind and affectionate towards those who treated her well.
Micah playfully smiled and looked around the ship. "So this is the ship of the Meridian family.. it is nothing much. Ow. Ouch ouch ouch."
Pixel looked down to see Cleo pinching his side which had shown how her courage had grown a lot and how close she was to Micah. "Mm.. I guess that this is nothing compared to the design plans you must have in mind."
Pixel did not tell anyone about herself being from another world and even her mother did not know about it.
If she was talking to Micah in front of others about certain things from her old world then it could not be made so obvious.
Micah was a Meowth who ran around with Jessie and James while playing around with all kinds of mechanical equipment.
He had seen and used a large variety of different equipment so a wooden ship was not going to leave him impressed.
The ships of the Minks were sturdy enough to allow them to carry them and some other goods on the New World seas but they were not built to take on the roughest conditions in the New World.
It was enough for them to be used to travel back and forth between the islands that Zunesha was passing by as it wandered around the New World.
Micah showed a slight smile after removing the pained look from his face. "Well.. it does what it is supposed to so I cannot complain."
Pixel asked. "Do you two wish to join us for this or will you be going off on your own?"
The heirs test did not forbid the heirs from interacting or working together during the time they were being tested.
If they chose to interact or work together during that time then they would not be punished for doing so.
Micah shrugged. "It is up to Cleo.. I am just here to join in on the fun."
Cleo nodded. "I do not mind joining you."
Pixel showed a slight smile and introduced the others. "Well if you are coming along then it would be best to get you all acquainted. This is old Swifty, Harley, Liquorice and Misty."
The old raccoon Mink that was old Swifty was busy carving a wooden figure but raised his head. "Greetings."
A female fennec fox Mink that was Harley bowed. "Hello young miss, young master."
A female sloth Mink that was Misty yawned. "Hey."
A female sheep Mink that was Liqorice waved. "Hi."
Old Swifty had grown older over the years while Harley, Liquorice and Misty had matured and grown.
Each of them were a similar age to Pixel but each of them were slightly taller or wider than Pixel who was slightly thinner and shorter than other girls her age.
Misty had grown to become tall, long limbed and thin while Liqorice had grown to become a little wider and a little shorter than Misty then Harley had grown to become more beautiful, slender and was a little taller than Pixel.
Cleo smiled over to them. "Thank you for supporting my sister all this time."
Micah nodded towards them. "So you all are the people that have been assisting Pixel. It is good to meet you all."
Micah was very interested towards the businesses that Pixel had built within Zou so he had come to know that there were some that helped to support it while she was busy.
They had all helped to keep up the quality and production of the products Pixel brought into the world so Micah still got the things he liked when Pixel was not there to keep everything going.
After their greetings, they all joined together for a drink and eat sweets together.
As they were getting more acquainted with each other, the ship sailed closer to an island that became more visible the closer they got to her.
Some ships that were docked at the ports were soon within view and soon the buildings came into view.
Once they were closer to the island, everyone started to gather for the briefing of what the task was going to be.
Each of the heirs and their assistants had gathered around the family head of the Meridian family so they could find out what they would experience on the island and the rules involved.
