Chapter 250: Inside the Big Empty Box is...
Kyoko and Koharu's suggestions were very effective. The player added a few more chocolate bars in the middle of the cake to fix it in place, and added a layer of chocolate crisps and some cocoa powder to the original spring-colored cream.
The white apple slices that were originally intended to be used as decoration on the surface were replaced with sweet whole apples with a richer flavor.
"Okay, looking at this perfect work, I feel like my mood has become very good!" The player put his hands on his hips, looking at the cake that had changed a lot but looked even more delicious, and his mood became brighter again.
"Chiyo-chan's knife skills are really amazing. The thickness of these fruits is exactly the same!" said Koharu.
"Because I brought this fruit here directly, there isn't enough of it. I have no choice but to cut it into this shape."
The player stroked his chin and nodded again. "But fortunately, the results look pretty good."
"Perfect!" Kyoko nodded vigorously, expressing her full agreement.
“Once the cake is done, the most important part of the welcome party is complete!”
Koharu clasped her hands together, looked at the cake in front of her with joy, and said excitedly, "Let's go see how Tsuna-san and the others have cleaned up."
"Well, under Reborn's oppression, the outside must be in a brand new state now." The player picked up the repaired cake and walked towards the door - sure enough, even the chairs and the floor were polished to a shine!
…
…
After finishing the meal, the player handed over the finishing work to the teenagers, waved his fan, took Chlorum's hand and picked her up. After feeling her weight, he curled up the corners of his lips and smiled brightly.
"That's great, Chlorum. After all your hard work, your weight has finally changed."
"Aurora, please... please put me down," Chrom said in a low voice.
"Put it down right now—"
Hearing the purple-haired girl's quiet protest, the player immediately obeyed and encouraged her happily, "Great, Chrom! You're in much better shape now!"
"You should try your best to eat like this in the future!"
"...Yeah." Chrom, who was not well accustomed to such enthusiasm, hesitated for a moment, blushed, and slowly responded.
"By the way, Lady Aurora, I almost forgot the most important purpose of my coming here." Marco, who had enjoyed a delicious meal with everyone, relaxed his brows and looked at the black-haired girl who was laughing happily beside him. He suddenly seemed to remember something and spoke.
"Huh? What's your other important purpose? Aren't you here to see me?" The player who was happily chatting with Chrom opened his eyes wide and tilted his head.
"This is indeed an important purpose." Looking at the black-haired girl's golden eyes full of questions, Marco nodded subconsciously.
"It's a gift! It's a gift we prepared for Lady Aurora!" Chiara pushed her eldest brother's back hard and reminded the black-haired girl who looked puzzled.
"..."Marco staggered after being pushed by his sister.
"Gift?" The player blinked.
"Yes, this is the gift we prepared together and have been looking forward to giving you. Please accept it."
Marco chuckled, then turned sideways to reveal a golden box with the Fantasy Family logo printed on it, and handed it to the black-haired girl, motioning her to take it.
[Congratulations to the player for receiving the gifts from the Fantasy Family leader - 1 Big Sky Ring, 1 Big Sky Box]
Player: “!!!”
The player opened the golden box, and sure enough, there was an orange ring and a large empty orange box inside.
"Wow! Oh my god! So beautiful!" the player exclaimed, hugged Chiara, and spun around happily. "I'm so happy! Thank you!"
"As long as Lady Aurora likes it." Chiara, who was hugged tightly, had soft eyes and her whole demeanor softened a lot.
Marco: “…”
He also wants a hug, but wouldn't that seem immature?
"Then I'll accept it. Chiara, please remember to pass my gift on to Marco, and remember to pass on the gifts to everyone else who hasn't come to Japan yet!"
The player found a rope, hung the meaningful ring around his neck, and then happily went to cultivate a relationship with his box weapon.
Hearing that he had a gift, Marco turned to look at Chiara who was about to sneak away, and his eyes instantly became as sharp as a hawk: "Chiara, where is my gift?"
"What gift? None at all! Brother, you must have heard it wrong!" Chiara said this very firmly, and instantly disappeared in front of Marco.
Marco tapped his fingers on the table rhythmically and said grimly, "Tsk, that's the bad thing about the fog attribute. People always disappear in an instant, and there's no way to know where their real bodies have gone."
However, as an older brother for so many years, he naturally has a way to control Chiara.
Although there are still some things I haven't explained in detail to Lady Aurora, such as the fact that the creature inside the weapon box is very intelligent and difficult to tame...
But he believed that this little difficulty was no problem for Lady Aurora!
Now, it is more important to teach that sister who dared to embezzle all her brother's gifts a lesson!
"Open the box--" Marco took out the box he carried with him, opened it, and summoned his companions.
"Please, help me find my disobedient sister." Marco said gently, stroking his friend's dark brown fur.
The summoned box weapon rubbed Marco's palm affectionately with its short and strong horns, sniffed, and walked towards the east without hesitation.
————————
On the other side, the player who received the box weapon from Marco and got a new partner couldn't wait to come to the training room, ready to start cultivating feelings with the animals in the box.
"Ahem, anyway, let me say hello first. I don't know what kind of animal you are, but... good afternoon." The player sat on the ground, looking at the big empty box in his hand. After holding it in for a long time, he said hello.
The box moved politely, as if in greeting.
Player: Great, the box responded, this is good news!
The player continued to work hard, using all his strength and means to maximize his affinity, and then spoke softly again: "I don't know what species you are. If you fly in the sky, shake once; if you walk on the ground, shake twice; if you live in the water, shake three times, okay?"
The box shook again out of courtesy and even bounced up a bit.
"So it's an animal flying in the sky. You even jumped up. Does that mean you are a tall and mighty bird?" the player guessed.
The box spun nimbly in the player's hand.
"Mighty bird, I am your future master Aurora. I am good at using a sword... I like sewing and cooking... cooking?" The player, who had an obvious reaction when he saw the box, repeated it again.
"It turns out to be a greedy bird..." The player sighed, and immediately caused the box to hit him with dissatisfaction.
"Don't mind me, I don't mean to dislike you at all. What I mean is... you and I are a perfect match!"
The player flipped his bangs up, whistled handsomely, and said confidently, "I'm just one step away from becoming a gourmet cooking master!"
"How about it? Do you want to come out and give it a try? My future partner?" The player ignited the flame of death and approached the box tentatively.
The box didn't move, apparently it agreed.
"Okay, then... open the box!" The ring with the orange gem was injected into the box of the same color with an extremely hot flame. The prominent Fantasy Family logo on the box - the golden eyes split into two and slowly cracked!
The moment the box lid split in two, a swift figure carrying a large amount of blazing sky flames flew into the air. It kept circling and dancing above the players' heads. Its extremely black feathers could quickly disappear into the darkness, but under the illumination of the light, it emitted a mysterious blue luster.
Its black beak is like a scimitar, and its round pupils are clear and transparent, shining like dazzling gold under the light, but revealing the thoughts of a wise man as it swings flexibly.
The deep calls of freely flying birds echoed throughout the training room, and it also made the player completely understand what kind of bird creature her future partner would be - the world's largest finch, the raven, famous for its mysterious wisdom!
"Nice to meet you, Miss Raven." The player stretched out his hands and watched the raven rest on his fingertips, his brown eyes drooping as he gently pecked at her exposed flesh - very lightly, as if stroking it with a feather.
The player tentatively touched the raven's feathers, and after finding that he was not rejected, he became even more demanding and wanted to give this new partner a name.
"Let's give you a name. How about Sophia? It symbolizes wisdom." The player, who rarely displayed extraordinary abilities in this area, whispered.
Sophia hummed in acknowledgement of the name.
"Okay! My name is Aurora, please give me your guidance from now on! Oh, right... I almost forgot this!"
The player took out the snack he had prepared for himself at noon from his backpack, but now it seemed that it was going to end up in Miss Sophia's stomach.
"Would you like to try it, Sophia?" The player carefully cut the fried egg and handed it to Sophia's mouth. After sniffing it gently, Sophia flapped her wings happily and began to eat.
"It's still a bird that likes cooked food."
The player learned his lesson, but didn't say it out loud, just sighed silently.
When Tsunayoshi Sawada and others who were finally going to participate in the Vongola Box training arrived at the training room, they saw this harmonious scene between man and bird.
…
…
"What... is going on?" Sawada Tsunayoshi looked at the big black bird that suddenly appeared with a puzzled expression.
"Huh? Why is there a crow next to Teacher Aurora?" Yamamoto Takeshi also had the same doubts.
"Didn't you notice, Junior Brother? Look at Miss Aurora's hand." Dino, who was with his subordinates, was gentle and steady at this moment, and seemed very reliable.
"That's... a box, and it's already opened?" The sharp-eyed Hayato Gokudera saw at a glance what was where Dino was pointing, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"That's right, that's the main reason why Marco, the current leader of the Fantasy Family, came to Japan. That's..."
Dino nodded slightly, looking at the black raven interacting harmoniously with the black-haired girl, and said in a low voice: "Personally hand over the rare, intelligent large empty box to Aurora!"
