134: Chapter 133 The sunshine is nice.

"Mister, we want two!" Choi Yena immediately raised her hand.

The sausages were quickly handed over. They were golden and oily, with slightly charred skin and brushed with an enticingly colored sauce. The two couldn't wait to take a bite—

"Mmm!!!" Kwon Eunbi and Choi Yena's eyes widened simultaneously (even through their wool masks).

Delicious! It was truly delicious! The meat was firm and springy, the skin was crispy, the sauce had just the right balance of sweet and spicy, and it even carried an indescribable, pleasant aroma that lifted the spirits! It was better than any stall they had tried before!

While they were immersed in the deliciousness, the sausage stall uncle suddenly wiped his hands. He looked at them—especially at the duck headgear on Choi Yena's head—and revealed a meaningful smile. In a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft, he said:

"This... Miss 'Duck,' the way you eat reminds me of an old friend."

Choi Yena (Duck Headgear): "???"

The uncle continued, "That old friend also loved sausages, especially ours. She said that inside a sausage, there's a hidden secret to happiness." He paused, his gaze turning somewhat distant (the acting was a bit heavy-handed), "And she was also... a pisces."

Kwon Eunbi (Lion Headgear) stopped chewing. A pisces? Yena is a pisces! The 'Star Envoy · Dreamy Twin Spirits'!

The sausage uncle acted as if he hadn't seen their reaction and continued on his own: "She said, if one day I see a successor who loves food as much as she did—especially sausages—and can feel a 'dreamlike happiness' from them, perhaps... I can pass this responsibility of spreading joy to them."

He looked at Choi Yena with a 'kind' gaze: "I see that you have a strong fate with this. This secret recipe, this love for sausages, and this little stall... perhaps you would be willing to... temporarily inherit it?"

Choi Yena (Duck Headgear) was completely dazed, half a sausage still dangling from her mouth: "In-inherit? The sausage stall?"

"Exactly!" The uncle slapped his thigh as if a heavy burden had been lifted. "To tell you the truth, my wife called to nag me to go home and look after the grandkids. I was worried no one would watch the stall today! I see you have an extraordinary constitution, a face... er, headgear that's very festive, and you're someone who knows how to eat. You're practically the chosen one! No, the Chosen Pisces Sausage Saintess!"

Kwon Eunbi (Lion Headgear): "..."

She watched this bizarre development. From searching for sausages to tasting them, and now actually inheriting the stall?! Choi Yena, the pisces Star Envoy, the Dreamy Twin Spirits, was about to become... a sausage stall owner?!

The direction of this script could no longer be described as just absurd! Jiang Zhiyu! Is your brain connected to a black hole?!

After the initial shock, Choi Yena's eyes (visible through the headgear) grew brighter and brighter! Inheriting a sausage stall? Being a stall owner? That sounds... like... super fun!! And she could eat the freshest sausages all the time!!

"Uncle! Is it really okay?!" Her voice was full of surprise and anticipation.

"Of course! The procedures... er, the process is very simple! Put on the apron, remember the sauce recipe (it's actually just a ready-made bottle), collect money and give change. It's very simple!" The uncle enthusiastically stuffed a slightly greasy apron into Choi Yena's hands.

Kwon Eunbi tried to stop her: "Yena! We still have a mission! We need to find the shards!"

"Unnie!" Choi Yena (Duck Headgear) turned her head, her tone "firm." "Isn't this the mission? The 'breath of joy' is attached to the most delicious sausages, and I have become the guardian and messenger of this deliciousness! This must be the guidance of the stars! It's the fated encounter between a pisces and sausages!"

She spoke with such conviction, as if she had been completely brainwashed by Producer Jiang Zhi Yu's crooked logic (or rather, she had jumped into the pit willingly).

Kwon Eunbi looked at Choi Yena, who was already excitedly putting on the apron—the duck headgear paired with the greasy apron made for an even more bizarre look. She then looked at the sausage uncle, who had a relieved expression of "finally found a sucker," and the tourists who were starting to gather around curiously...

She sighed in resignation and took the last bite of the sausage in her hand.

Fine.

At least these sausages were truly delicious.

And so, Team D's new mission changed from "searching for the most delicious sausages" to "assisting (or spectating) the newly appointed Pisces Sausage Saintess Choi Yena in running an amusement park sausage stall and searching for the 'breath of joy' star shard contained within the sausages."

Kwon Eunbi (Lion Headgear) silently stood beside Choi Yena (Duck Headgear + Apron), watching her clumsily flip sausages and smear sauce under the sausage uncle's "crash course."

The amusement park's fantasy adventure entered a brand new chapter in a way no one could have predicted, filled with the aroma of grease. And the role of the "Lionheart Sovereign" Kwon Eunbi at this moment seemed to have become... sausage stall bodyguard and taste-tester?

In a corner of the amusement park, next to the spinning teacups, a sausage stall with a particularly peculiar style officially "changed hands."

Choi Yena—wearing that yellow, lopsided duck headgear with a checkered apron that was too large for her and stained with grease—stood behind the sausage machine, flipping the sizzling sausages on the grill with a look of novelty and seriousness. Beside her, Kwon Eunbi, wearing the lion headgear, stood with her arms crossed (displaying the majesty of the "Lionheart Sovereign"?), while her heart was actually filled with philosophical questions like, "Who am I, where am I, and why am I here watching a duck grill sausages?"

The sausage uncle (an actor) had already made a successful exit. Clutching his "secret recipe" (actually just a bottle of ordinary sweet and spicy sauce) and wearing a "relieved" smile, he disappeared into the crowd, his work done. He left behind only these two girls in animal headgear and a small stall that was beginning to waft an enticing aroma.

"Unnie, Unnie! Look! This one is done! The color is so beautiful!" Choi Yena used tongs to lift a golden, oily sausage and offered it to Kwon Eunbi like a treasure, the duck's beak opening and closing as she spoke.

Kwon Eunbi silently took it and took a bite. Hmm, the taste was indeed good, and the heat control was... actually okay? It seemed Yena had an extraordinary talent when it came to eating.

"Big sisters... your headgear... is so cute! Can we buy sausages?" A little girl, led by her parent, asked timidly and curiously.

"Of course you can! How many do you want?" Choi Yena immediately entered her role, her voice turning eight degrees sweeter.

Business opened unexpectedly just like that. Perhaps their headgear was too eye-catching, or perhaps Choi Yena's overly enthusiastic (and duck-headed) way of soliciting customers worked, or perhaps the sausages themselves were truly fragrant. A small crowd of tourists gradually gathered in front of the stall, especially children, who were particularly interested in the "Duck Sister who sells sausages" and the "Lion Sister who looks scary but is actually dazed" next to her.

From initial embarrassment to eventually having to help collect money and hand out napkins (her movements clumsy in her lion-paw gloves), to watching Choi Yena dance for joy because she successfully sold a sausage (the duck headgear swaying back and forth), the helplessness in Kwon Eunbi's heart was gradually replaced by a strange, humorous sense of warmth. Forget it, just treat it as experiencing life, even if this "life" was a bit too surreal.

However, Producer Jiang Zhi Yu clearly wouldn't let their "sausage stall owner experience" continue so peacefully and warmly.

Just as Choi Yena was vigorously flipping another batch of sausages and Kwon Eunbi was counting the crumpled change in her hand, a sudden change occurred!

First, there was a strange "puji puji" sound, like jelly shaking, coming from the corner behind the stall where sundries and trash cans were piled.

Then, under the startled gazes of Kwon Eunbi, Choi Yena, and several customers waiting for sausages, large clumps of translucent, variously colored (pink, blue, green), floppy, and wobbly "things" "surged" out from the shadows of the corner!

Those "things" had no fixed shape; their edges were like melting gel, and their bodies constantly changed silhouettes as they moved. They looked like a group of slugs magnified countless times and infused with fluorescent colors, or like low-quality jelly that had come to life. Their "bodies" seemed to be made of some kind of inflatable plastic film or elastic fabric, with frames inside supporting a rough humanoid or spherical shape, but the surface was covered in a material that looked wet and sticky (likely coated with glossy glue), reflecting an eerie light in the sun.

These "Slime"-like creatures (?) moved slowly, making continuous "puji, puji, boru..." sounds. Their target was clear—they were "crawling" toward the sausage stall, or more accurately, toward the fragrant sausages on the machine!

"Waaah!!" The little girl waiting for a sausage was so scared she hid behind her mother.

"What is this? A new amusement park performance?" A boy who looked like a middle school student curiously took out his phone.

"So gross..." Some tourists frowned and backed away.

Kwon Eunbi (Lion Headgear) suddenly stood up and blocked the front of the sausage stall. Although she was wearing a ridiculous headgear, her leader's instinct made her subconsciously want to protect the stall and Choi Yena. She watched these approaching, floppy, unidentified objects warily, her voice rising due to shock and absurdity:

"What... what on earth are these things?!?"

"Can someone tell me what this group of... Slimes? Or... uh... Jelly Monsters? Ooze Monsters? Jiang Zhiyu, what kind of trick are you playing now!!"

Her final roar was directed straight at the invisible production team and the mastermind behind the scenes, Jiang Zhiyu.
