Reconciliation and taking risks

Hello everyone!!

<"Hmm... Approved, therefore I accept your apologies.">

"Finally!!"

As you can see, after baking those five (wedding) cakes and showing them to Echidna for her demanding evaluation, that's how I earned her forgiveness!

Haa... I feel as if a weight I hadn't realized I was carrying has finally been lifted.

"...I really missed you."

<"Mphm, don't be so sentimental now... But I must admit... I missed you too.">

"Pfft..."

<"Heh, heh, heh...">

"So, once, I'm counting on you, partner!!"

<"And I on you, partner.">

("Reconciled!!")

(Hooray!!)

(Yesss!!)

(Happiness!)

In this way, both Echidna and I were able to settle our differences with the straw dolls, Silver and Goldie, as witnesses.

What a happy ending!!

....Or at least it would have been if there wasn't work to be done, and the reconciliation with Echidna came just in time because I'll definitely need her help.

Why?

Well, dear reader, that's because I'm about to face one of my greatest enemies and, frankly... I already feel intimidated.

What enemy could it be?

Try to guess!

First question: Is it a truck?

Answer: I'LL DESTROY THAT DAMN THING!!

("We are experiencing technical difficulties, we apologize for the inconvenience.")

Answers (corrected): Ahem... I mean, incorrect!

Second question: Is it an attempted sexual assault?

Answer: You failed again!!

Third question: Is it a psychologist?

Answer: No comment.

Do you give up?

The correct answer was....

My catastrophic sense of direction!!

...Okay, I'll be frank with you, and don't laugh! But... the truth is... as you know, I'm a little bit, just a tiny bit... bad at finding my way around...

Don't laugh!!

Uuff... I already know what you're wondering, why would you have to face your (terrible) sense of direction?

Excellent question, dear reader!!

Well, that's because some things I need to try and prepare myself for whatever this (crazy) world might throw at me are in the dangerous but (apparently) normal exterior.

So I have to go look for them, taking advantage of my original knowledge of the story!!

However, as you already know, the city I live in is "Central City", which is known as the connection point for all places on the "blue planet".

And that's what's working against me!!

Although I currently have ideas on how to get or find what I need, I still run the risk of ending up God knows where, with no other option but to wait for Mom (possessed) to find me, which I cannot allow!

So I need to think of a plan and pray to Echidna for this to work...

That's why I told Echidna the first step.

(Slap!!)

<"Are you crazy?!">

"It's sad that I believe so too, Echidna, but we have to do it."

<".... Start packing desserts, I'm sure they'll be necessary.">

"Don't worry, Echidna! All it takes is faith!"

<"PACK DESSERTS.">

"....."

With no other option, I started making and packing desserts...
