Chapter 13: Mikita's Invitation Mission, I'll Help You Realize Your Dream! 

"My dream…"

Robin pursed her lips, with a complicated look on her face.

Thinking of the dream of knowing the hundred years of blank history that she has not been able to realize for so many years, and thinking of the Poneglyph buried in the Alabasta.

A strong desire to survive ignited in Robin's heart.

'Definitely, I definitely have to leave from here alive! '

'At least I can't have an accident until I can read the Poneglyph in Alabasta! '

Robin's eyes gradually became firmer.

And this scene, of course, could not escape the perception of Rifan, who has five keen senses.

"I've already talked about my dream, you two might as well talk about your dreams."

"Let's start with you, this lovely lady with short blonde hair."

"Speaking of which, what should I call you?"

Rifan turned his head, looked at Miss Valentine and asked.

"I... I don't... I don't have a dream."

Miss Valentine said tremblingly, not daring to look into Rifan's eyes.

"How could it be? If a person has no dreams, wouldn't he be like a dead person?"

"Speak, no matter how big or small, you can speak your dreams."

Rifan insisted on asking.

"I... I, I really don't have any big dreams."

"I just have a small goal."

Miss Valentine is going to cry.

Now she just wants to escape quickly, how can she be in the mood to talk about her dreams?

Perhaps because she was too scared and it consumed her energy, Miss Valentine's stomach suddenly gurgled.

But because of fear, she didn't feel shy about it.

Rifan smiled, got up and walked to the table beside him, and brought over the plate of food that had already been prepared.

"Come on, this is the chocolate cake I just made, try it."

"And this lemon tea, which I just made earlier, is still fresh, try it."

Rifan picked up a spoonful of chocolate cake with a spoon and handed it to Miss Valentine's mouth, saying with a gentle face.

Miss Valentine stared blankly at the chocolate cake and lemon tea in front of her, and blinked her eyes with some doubts.

She didn't understand why the man in front of her could just bring out her favorite food and drink.

In any case, Miss Valentine would never have imagined that because of Rifan's understanding of One Piece comics in his previous life, he already knew some favorite foods of the characters in it.

Even a character like Miss Valentine, he can tell her favorite food and know her dreams.

What Rifan is trying to do now is to let Robin and Miss Valentine successfully become his crew through their favorite food and their dreams.

"So...so sweet! I've never had such a sweet chocolate cake, how did you do it?!"

After Miss Valentine took the chocolate cake on the spoon with her mouth, her eyes lit up immediately.

During her excitement, she even forgot about her situation, and excitedly asked Rifan about how to make Rifan's chocolate cake.

Rifan was not too surprised, he knew that Miss Valentine had a dream of opening a chocolate shop and making chocolate.

"It's good right? If you want to learn, it's not that I can't teach you."

"Also, you just said that you have no dreams, only a small goal, right?"

"In my opinion, isn't a small goal a dream?"

"Just like me, I once had a little dream."

"In the past, before I dreamed of becoming the Pirate King, I dreamed of opening a chocolate shop and making the most delicious chocolates and pastries."

While talking, Rifan continued to put the chocolate cake on the dinner plate into Miss Valentine's mouth spoon by spoon.

At the end, he enthusiastically helped her drink a sip of lemon tea.

"What? Have you ever wanted to open a chocolate shop?"

Miss Valentine exclaimed.

"That's right! Wait, looking at your expression. Could it be that the small goal you said earlier is to open a chocolate shop?"

Rifan raised his eyebrows and asked curiously.

"No...that's right! I have dreamed of opening a chocolate shop and learning to make the most delicious chocolate since I was a child!"

"Also, chocolate and lemon tea are my favorite snacks."

Miss Valentine pursed her lips and said.

Perhaps it was because of the influence of the delicious chocolate cake and lemon tea made by Rifan, or perhaps the talk about the dream that has always been there, Miss Valentine's tone is not as tense as it was at the beginning.

"So there is such a thing, the two of us are so destined."

"By the way, can you tell me what kind of chocolate shop you want to open?"

"Also, what kind of chocolate do you make?"

"By the way, let me start now. I have studied a lot of chocolate making methods…"

Rifan stood up, put the plate on his seat, put his hands on Miss Valentine's shoulders with a warm face, and started chatting about the chocolate shop and chocolate.

Under Rifan's deliberate guidance, Miss Valentine's complexion became more and more relaxed, and the topics gradually increased.

In the end, Rifan even untied the rope that bound her, took her hand and talked about more chocolates.

On the side, Robin looked at Rifan and Miss Valentine who were chatting happily, and looked at the remaining lemon tea, chocolate cake, untouched sandwiches and black tea on the plate, and her face became a little strange.

'The same dream as Miss Valentine, the food that Miss Valentine likes. '

'There are also sandwiches and black tea that I like. '

'Are these all coincidences?'

Robin thought to herself.

…

[It sounds like a very professional method of making chocolate. Is there anyone who knows how to make chocolate? Can you tell me that the method mentioned by Rifan can make chocolate and chocolate cake? ]

[Of course! Judging from my 30 years of experience as a pastry chef, Rifan is definitely a professional in making chocolate and chocolate cakes. ]

[I see, it seems that Rifan is not only good at making pie, but also chocolate. Then again, Rifan talked so much with this girl with short blonde hair, so he wanted to start with chocolate and invite her to be his partner. ]

[It should be right, let's just watch quietly. ]

…

"...Chocolate, you can still use this method to make it, Rifan, you are a genius!"

Miss Valentine looked at Rifan with bright eyes and said.

"You're not bad too Mikita, if it's you, you'll definitely be able to reach my level in the future."

Rifan said with a smile.

After communicating for a while, Rifan already knew from Miss Valentine that her name is Mikita.

After a pause, Rifan suddenly seemed to think of something, and stretched out his hands to hold Mikita's hands tightly.

"Ri... Rifan?"

Mikita blinked, and looked at Rifan's slightly excited face in a daze.

"Hey, Mikita, come and become the 'pastry chef' of my pirate group."

"If I can act together with you in the future and watch you slowly grow into the best 'pastry chef' and open the best chocolate shop."

"Presumably I, who once had the same dream as you, would be quite happy."

"Mikita, I want to see you live out your dreams!"

"You should and want to be able to realize your dreams, right? "

Rifan's face was serious, and his eyes looked extremely serious at this moment.

"Rifan…"

Mikita stared blankly at Rifan.

After talking for a period of time, the dream that she had buried in her heart had indeed slowly recovered.

Looking into Rifan's eyes, thinking about the chocolates and chocolate shop that Rifan said earlier, she nodded involuntarily.

"Okay, okay! If you can teach me how to make chocolate, Rifan, I can be your crew member!"

After Mikita's voice fell, Rifan's mind immediately heard the ethereal voice of the copy space.

[Rifan from Giant Panda, congratulations on triggering Mikita's invitation task - guiding Mikita to make chocolate! ]

[Please instruct Mikita to learn at least 10 kinds of chocolate or chocolate pastries that can surprise her. ]

[After completing the invitation task, Mikita will bear your mark and officially become your crew member! ]
