"That's right, I don't look like I'm 20 years old?" The player turned around in a circle. Although he looked a little shorter in front of this group of Italians, he should be able to tell them apart.
"So... it's okay to call me sister, right?" The player flirted, "Sister Lal~~"
“!!!” Lal Mirchi’s pupils trembled.
"Are you kidding me? How can you be twenty?" A man in motorcycle clothing and bizarre makeup stood up and pointed at the player in disbelief. "With the way you look, it's not too much of an exaggeration to say you're underage, right?"
"Don't deceive Master Skarlu with such a lame lie!"

"Asian faces always look younger, Mr. Scarlu." Feng sighed softly and turned to look at the black-haired woman who claimed to be twenty years old. "Am I right? Miss Aurora, although your name doesn't sound like it, you are definitely Asian."
"Hmm, that's right," the player said, pointing at Scarlett. "You didn't even realize that? You're the idiot, after all!"
"I didn't expect to meet an Asian here. It's really friendly. I'm Feng, hello." Along with Scarlu's angry questioning, the black-haired man with phoenix eyes and wearing a red Tang suit smiled gently at the player.

Black hair and black eyes, what a handsome face.
"Hello, hello." The player waved his paw as a greeting.
At this moment, Willdi suddenly ran over, took out an instrument and placed it in the player's hand without paying attention to the surroundings, muttering to himself, "I'm not lying. My bone age is around 20 years old, but I'm a little short..."
Player: “…”
Several well marks appeared on the player's forehead instantly, and he immediately punched Willy's head hard.
"How rude of you! I'm still in my growth phase, okay?" the player said seriously.
For some reason, the words sounded eerily familiar.
"Yes, there will be opportunities in the future." The gentle woman said. Seeing the player's puzzled look, she introduced herself, "I'm Luche, hello."
"Aurora, the mysterious accomplice and observer of a mysterious commission." A woman wearing a large witch hat approached gracefully with a knowing smile. "I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Name: Luce Chirionero
Age: 25 (??)
Special Ability: Flame of Death (Possessor of Flame of the Sky)
Favorite food: Cookies?
Faction: Kirionero Family
Hobbies: Making homemade snacks...
Note: There are lovely orange petals at the corners of her eyes. She possesses incredible intuition and is a shrine maiden who can foresee the future. Her seemingly gentle appearance actually carries an unshirkable responsibility.
Player: Oh my god! It’s…it’s the prophet!!!
"Hello, Sister Luche, nice to meet you." The player with bad intentions immediately ran to the witch and acted cute.
"How tall do you think I can grow? 1.7 meters?" The player pointed to the top of his head, full of hope for his own height. "1.65 meters is not impossible for me."
"Who knows." Luche touched the player's head and smiled faintly. "Maybe one day the stars will tell you everything."
Well, riddles are a common problem for every prophet. The player who didn't get the exact answer felt disappointed and found a chair to sit down and started eating cookies. Luche followed suit and sat down.
After all the members arrived, a figure with a grid face appeared in the middle of the round table - it was an illusion!
Everyone had a solemn expression.
"It's an illusion with a time limit, and he set it up in advance." Viper said.
Who was he referring to? Everyone knew it very well.
"I believe everyone is here now. The journey must be tiring. Please get a good rest tomorrow. Tomorrow evening, I will announce my first commission here again."
Grid Face smiled and said, "Tomorrow during the day, you can get to know each other better and understand your companions' strengths. This will help you complete the commission more effectively."
After saying these two sentences, the figure of the man with the checkered face disappeared in an instant.
…
…
"That guy is really hard to like." In the extremely quiet environment, Reborn spoke first with dark eyes and some dissatisfaction.
"Ah. If he hadn't paid me enough, I wouldn't have come here at all," Viper said. "After all, my first meeting with him wasn't friendly."
"As for your last statement, I agree," Lal Mirchi said. "If it weren't for my boss's request, I don't think I would be here."
Having obtained new data, Wille didn't even raise his head as he frantically calculated on various papers. "I'm just doing new research."
"That gentleman who didn't want to reveal his name said that if I agreed to the commission, I would meet someone powerful enough to spar with." Feng lowered his head and smiled faintly, "So I came."
Luche also smiled gently, but her words were not as straightforward as Feng's. "I came here because of the guidance of fate and the guidance of the stars."
Realizing that everyone else's reasons were so noble, while his own weren't, and that in a sense he even seemed a bit like a loser, Scarlu's face stiffened and he echoed, "...Ahahaha, me too."
To prevent people from being curious about why he was participating in the commission, Scarlu decisively changed the topic to the player eating cookies, "Where's Aurora? Why did you accept the invitation?"
Luche's Cookies: Handmade cookies filled with Luche's love and warmth. Cute in appearance and delicious in taste. After eating, satiety +5 and spirit +5. Up to 6 pieces can be stacked.
"Can you give me all of this?" the player asked politely. Seeing that Luche readily agreed, he put it away decisively, and only then did he have time to think about Scarlu's problem.
"If you ask me, there's nothing I can do about it. That checkered-faced man gave me way too much." The player swallowed the last bite of his biscuit and wiped his mouth. "I guess the point is that the progress I've made here is far greater than what I'd get from fooling around outside."
"Fooling around..." Scarlu's mouth twitched, not knowing what to say.
"Since we will not be told the commission until tomorrow night, what should we do tomorrow?" asked Lal Mirchi.
“…”
“…”
It's hard to speak.
"Aurora, do you have any thoughts?" Luche, who was sitting near the player, made her a bowl of tea and asked kindly, "After all, in a sense, you are the observer of this commission and cannot truly participate in it."
[The wild prophet Luche was right. The player's commission is to complete it as both a participant and observer, without killing anyone, and witness the birth of the rainbow.]
Therefore, players who cannot take the life of any NPC will say that they are just here to make up the numbers.
but……
"Since we're free anyway, how about we play a game?" A player rubbed objects with their bare hands, and a massive apple tree suddenly appeared before them. "How well we complete this game will determine the quality of our meals tomorrow."
"What is this?" Scarlu's hands trembled. "Is this an apple? Why do they all have human faces on them?"
Wildi, whose voice triggered some mysterious mechanism, came over instantly, ignored the apples that were crying out, and began rigorous measurements.
"Height..., width..., a total of... apples." The title of mad scientist is fully reflected in him.
"It looks a bit like the things possessed by wronged spirits mentioned in those strange Chinese stories..." Feng's eyes suddenly became a little dangerous.
"It's about food..." Reborn poked the apple that showed disdain for him with a cross. After scaring the ungrateful apple with a gloomy look, he turned around and asked, "This thing, can't be eaten?"
"Ah? Can this be eaten?" Lal Mirzi said in shock.
"That's right! As expected of Mr. Reborn!" the players cheered.
Screaming Apple Tree: A tree with screaming apples
[Screaming Apple: An apple with a human face. The higher the level of scare, the more energy and delicious the apple becomes. This apple is truly worth tens of millions.]
"This is a fruit called the Screaming Apple. The more frightened it is, the more delicious it tastes." The player said to a hooded person, poking at the ripe fruits waiting to be picked. "When it reaches a certain level, it's truly worth tens of millions."
"Tens of millions of trees? It seems..." The poisonous snake was a little disdainful after being hinted at by Aurora's eyes.
"Yes." The player added.
"I'll join." He gave in quickly, the viper.
[Special ingredient. A popular item in the other world that is said to enhance the power of fire.]
Wille touched his chin, thinking to himself, "I didn't expect Aurora to have such a thing."
[No, or rather, those things were spread from her...]
Will Emperor suddenly said, "Then I will join in too."
"Becoming delicious when frightened? That sounds interesting. Let me join!" said Scarlu.
"I've never heard of this. It's a brand new challenge. Forgive my rudeness, but I also want to participate." Feng looked at these hateful apples with interest.
"In that case..." Lal Milch observed the Screaming Apple Tree carefully. "I'm bored anyway, so take me with you."
"It seems a bit awkward for me to be left alone when everyone else has joined." Reborn faced the players' expectant gazes, his lips curled up, "Then I'll play with you, Aurora."
"Then it's settled. I'll be participating! The judge will be Sister Luche!" Seeing Luche's questioning look, the player sheepishly leaned over to whisper in her ear, "Because... because Sister Luche is pregnant."
If the apple is frightened, it might even frighten the baby in the belly. So forget it, it’s better to just eat the ready-made food.
Everyone present was clear-headed and had no objections.
"Thank you, Aurora." Luche smiled gently and accepted the player's kindness.
