Honkai: Star Rail - Luminescent -

- Oak Cake Rolls -

Arriving at an intersection with buildings surrounding us, we stopped in a circle with bubbles floating, kids and parents, adults, etc. They're all playing around the wide circle taking photos and kids running around.

"The first stop most people head to as soon as they arrive in the Dreamscape is the Oti Mall! The Dreamscape Sales Store here is super famous. There are also stores that sell luxury goods, apparel, trendy toys, and even cars..."

"How do you pay for those stuff? What currency do you use? Can we use the Credits?"

"Well, for the luxury goods and other things I mentioned, you buy them with Alfalfa coins. For foods and vending machines, we can still buy them with Credits. Items purchased in the Dreamscape can also be brought into reality through an extra service. Unfortunately, the transfer of automobiles to the real world is not available at the moment... You can come back for them next time."

"Just outside the mall is the plaza. Follow me! I'll buy you a nice meal!"

We jogged again towards the bustling street of the plaza, passing by people chattering and having fun as we then arrived at a food venue stall.

"We're here! Hey, have you ever heard of this saying that goes, 'In a dream, hunger is the most precious spice?' you can find all kinds of local delicacies here - Clockie Pizza, Oak Cake Rolls, Alfalfa Salad, and the classic SoulGlad! Feel free to pick anything you like! Today, it's my treat!"

"Wow, thanks Firefly! Not only you're a good guide, you're actually nice!"

"Hehe, you're welcome!"

I considered through the choices and finally picked on two Oak Cake Rolls, it sounds sweet. I went ahead and ordered it to the venue seller.

'Oh right, you can buy foods with credits right?'

I paid up with my money instead of Firefly's and received the two Oak Cake Rolls. Thanks Asta for the super extra money you gave me. Gee, being rich must be nice.

I turned back to Firefly and hold one of the Oak Cake Rolls for her.

"Here's one for you to snack on!"

I said with a smile as I watch her eyes went wide.

"Oh! You like Oak Cake Rolls too?"

"It sounded sweet and I have a sweet tooth, so yeah I want to eat this one. Whether I, Galactic Baseballer likes it or not depends after the first bite and the aftertaste! Haha!"

I laughed like I'm in some kind of old medieval drama as a king as Firefly giggled.

"Oh and here's your money!"

I hand her over her entire money.

"Huh? Wait... then how did you buy the food? Did you... rob the owner?"

Firefly looks at me like a scared cat as I blink a few times before laughing again, this time, it's an actual normal laugh.

"No of course not! I bought it with my own Credit!"

I said with a smile before taking a bite out of the cake and my eyes went wide. A section of a song instantly played in my mind.

(But you didn't have to cut me off. Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing-)

"Holy... sweet GUACAMOLE! IT TASTES SO GOOD."

I exclaimed loudly as I munch and munched on the cake until there is none. I cleaned my palm and dust off the leftovers as I smiled happily before looking at Firefly.

"What?"

"Um... I, first of all... why didn't you use my Credits? Second of all, does that whole section happening means you like the Oak Cake Rolls?"
