Hah, yeah... Sounds like they're asking the wrong people. I don't know why they'd need to, anyway; it seems like they've got connections everywhere if we're all from different worlds.
Oh yeah, they didn't elaborate on that at all, did they? Another wish could be it, I suppose, but I wonder if they'd put limits on it so we don't just get what we want and leave...
[ how do our capitalist overlords keep us chained to the job if they're giving out wishes like halloween candy? ]
Hmm... How about, something one person— one normal person— would be capable of granting?
[ a fancy homecooked dinner? that's more than doable, given he had access to recipes and ingredients. anything more magical than that, though, it's out of his hands. something practical. something even he can do. ]
Ah. I see. [ barely knows what those things are. ] Well, I was posing as a cultivator, and their often requires them to visit remote places to handle problems there. That's all I meant.

Okay~ What do you want to eat? I'll do my best to learn it.

Huh? I wasn't asking you to... You don't have to do that.

[ wide-eyed princely revelations right here. bread. ]
I suppose I've never tried making bread, either... We usually just fish or have rations on field missions.

Though we can usually just fish or hunt as we travel, if necessary. Or stop by an inn, if one's close by.

You sure live an exciting life. Like something out of a storybook.
