As the first rays of the sun began to paint the sky with hues of pink and orange, you made your way back to the ranch, feeling refreshed and invigorated by the magical encounter with the Phosphor Slimes. The memories of your past and the moments shared with Ashle lingered in your mind, but you pushed them aside, focusing on the present and the day that awaited you.

As you entered the ranch, you noticed an incoming message blinking on the Range Exchange machine. Curious, you approached it and activated the holographic display. The message was a request from Viktor Humphries.

Y/N: Viktor? Wonder what he wants.

Range Exchange Machine: New Request - Viktor Humphries - Tabby Slimes

Hello there, Y/N. I hope this request of mine finds you well. I've heard about your recent successful ranching endeavors and would appreciate your assistance. I'm in need of some Tabby Slimes for a project I'm working on. Can you please collect some and send them to me? I promise I will make it worth your while.

With that, the message quickly close, and you smiled. The idea of not only possibly getting a decent reward but running into an entirely brand-new slime as well was way too good to pass up.

Y/N: Well, guess I know what I'm doing today. Time for some Tabby Hunting!

With a determined smile, you set out to find Tabby Slimes. Their mischievous and playful nature made them a popular choice among ranchers, and you were eager to encounter them for the first time. Armed with your trusty VacPack, you made your way to the outskirts of the ranch where these elusive slimes were known to roam, and after a bit of searching, there they were, playfully pouncing around, chasing their tails, and occasionally trying to sneak up on the nearby Hen Hens.

Y/N: Awww, they're all a bunch of slime Kitties!

You couldn't help but chuckle at the sight of the Tabby Slimes acting like curious little felines

You couldn't help but chuckle at the sight of the Tabby Slimes acting like curious little felines. Their strangely almost fluffy-looking faces and bouncy attitudes melted your heart. They seemed harmless enough, but you knew better than to let your guard down entirely. Tabby Slimes might be cute, but they could be tricky and hard to catch if you weren't careful.

Y/N: Hey there, little guys. Viktor wants you to join his ranch, and I can see why. You all definitely look like quite the handful.

With a careful approach, you took out your VacPack and started corralling the Tabby Slimes one by one. They playfully tried to avoid your grasp, but you were quick and managed to capture a few. Each time you caught one, it let out an adorable little mew-like sound that made you smile even more.

Y/N: Don't worry, little guys, it's just a temporary ride. You'll love your new home!

As you continued to explore a bit more, you found a bunch of other yet familiar slimes, each enjoying their happy little lives. There were Rock Slimes lounging and rolling around near the cliffs, Phosphor Slimes retreating to their hiding spots as the sun grew stronger, and even a few adorable Pink Slimes bouncing around with endless energy.

Y/N: Man this place is packed with you guys, and I love it.

The sun climbed higher in the sky, and with a good number of Tabby Slimes secured, you decided to head back to the ranch. On your way, you couldn't help but feel grateful for the opportunity to be here, among these remarkable creatures in a world so far from what you once knew, and upon reaching the ranch, you transferred the Tabby Slimes to a specialized containment corral where they would be comfortable until Viktor arrived to collect them...or at least a few of em.

Y/N: To be fair, Viktor never specified how many Tabby Slimes he wanted. I'm sure he won't notice a few missing.

You chuckled, and the slimes you did leave seemed to settle in quickly, snuggling up together and playfully rolling around.

Y/N: You guys are in good hands with Viktor. He's an experienced rancher and will take care of you all just fine.

As you went about your daily tasks, tending to the various pens, gardens, and corrals, you couldn't shake the contentment surrounding you. The Far Far Range had become more than just a place to make a living; it was now a home filled with old and new memories.

Y/N: Not a bad life we got here, huh, Y/N? Not bad at all.

Well, Well it seems like another wannabe rancher has signed up for a lonely existence on a faraway space rock, and he's the successor of the last one

Well, Well it seems like another wannabe rancher has signed up for a lonely existence on a faraway space rock, and he's the successor of the last one. Congrats Y/N!

I'm Mochi Miles. That's 'Miles' as in Tatsuya Miles, the billionaire. I'm here to let you know something right now, just because you've been shown the ropes by Beatrix doesn't mean I'm gonna go easy on you! No one conquers the plort market like I do: day in, day out.

I've got the inside track so look forward to me requesting plorts that I know will make me huge profits later on.

So I wish you the best of luck, Y/N. Maybe you'll even reach second place! And at the very least you can tell your friends that you helped the great Mochi Miles in her conquest of the Far, Far Range!

Later, Tater.

Mochi Miles, Top Rancher.
