Delicacy

Theo got no more quests. 

Something was odd- very odd in fact.

'Is it because I didn't finish the first quest yet?'

The first quest he received upon coming to this planet was simple- 'lick the fruit of the world tree,' but he'd never had the pleasure of doing so.

And actually, even his exp gaining stopped. 

'So, I can't progress if I don't complete this quest?'

It wasn't a red mandatory quest and yet- and yet his system definitely wanted him to finish it. 

Sigh.

"What's wrong?"

Midnight.

The city was as lively as ever. 

And apparently, Emily had woken up.

Lately, she slept on the same bed as Theo- on the pretense of marriage. Of course, neither did anything to each other- mostly because Theo wasn't brave enough.

"Not much. There's something I have to lick…" He didn't want to say it but maybe he really was sleepy.

And now that he said it and got the look from Emily- he started sweating.
