Dee Dee listened to the Ideas of her partner and nodded slowly so as to not disturb the brush around them, as she tracked the Deer and after some time they came upon a group of them, Dee Dee peaked out at them and looked them over, taking note of the males as the word bubble filled in for Hikari to read "We try to take only males, this time of year the females might have already mated so they may be carrying young, we don't want to effect the population that much, a few males will not heavily affect the population as long as we leave enough to repopulate the herd after, they look like normal Deer as well so we don't have to worry about any nasty surprises"

The Idea of a clean cut was a good one but they could catch more with some aim at the legs to slow them down, a mix of Hikari's strategy and her own would likely be best, as she wasn't sure how many Hikari could cut down if they all ran past her, so wounding some in the legs would make them easier to track, and they would be left behind by the herd if they gave chase. Above Kramer was watching the herd for Dee Dee While she reached out and had Jimmy slip down from her head onto her arm and then to the ground.

She pointed and Jimmy nodded and the small Larva crawled away "I will have Jimmy move to the other side of the clearing, if the detect him they won't see him as a threat so no worries on that, after hs is in place we can strike, I will open up with a move to get them running, Kramer will try to Direct them from the air by doing swooping attacks on them, BombDee will stay with you to try to take others out, I think we can get maybe six to eight of the males out of this herd without affecting them to much, I will aim for the legs to slow any down that I can so we can get as many as possible, but I think even if we do get all eight we might need a bit more meat for the mission completion, so after this lets look for some boar they would be a bit easier to get since they would attack us rather then run off, and getting rid of them would be helping make the area safer and get meat all at the same time!" her plan laid out in the word bubble as she waited for Jimmy to be in position.

Jimmy for his part continued to move to the other side of the clearing, even going through the herd of deer, they didn't see him as a threat at all and some even stopped to sniff him but other then that they didn't react to the larva, so he didn't have to stay hidden he just continued to crawl until he was on the other side of the clearing and then turned around to look at the herd of Deer.

"Okay get ready... this will get a bit chaotic" the word bubble informed Hikari as Dee Dee started to glow, as did BombDee, Kramer and Jimmy as she activated one of her abilities, then she gave a thumbs up to Hikari before she vanished, and in her place was Jimmy the Ant Larva, Putting Dee Dee on the opposite side of the clearing, with her wand out Dee Dee burst from the bushes and fired a blast from the wand at one deer aiming for the leg and knocking it over from the force of the shot, and with the other hand she threw out a dagger that looked like a petal of a Sunflower, and it hit another deer in the leg, not knocking it over but the blade clearly cut deep and the Deer Staggered as it tried to get running.

With Dee Dee bursting out of the bushes the Deer reacted by trying to scatter, only a few headed towards Hikari, but then Kramer swooped down and swatted at one of the deer that was heading in a different direction, he missed but succeeded in forcing the deer to change course as well as the ones following it, making them turn to go towards the direction that Hikari, Jimmy, and BombDee where in. With Jimmy already going up a tree to not get trampled and BombDee ready and hidden to get the jump on any of the Deer that got close.

Dee Dee was taking notes as Hana Explained things, after all Dee Dee didn't have the means to check on Guild stuff herself so being able to hear it from someone that made their own guild was quite handy, and she could add this info to the new edition of her guide. Apparently buildings made into a guild building will refurbish and renovate which was interesting to know, it also got cleaned up and then gained working power and water again, that was interesting as well what was providing all that? she had to do a job at a old Water treatment facility before, they were asked to not damage the place so it could maybe made functional again, but it seemed making something into a guild building bypassed that need.. Did That mean a single person could make their own one person guild to make a safe place to live with running water and working power that also turned into a safe zone?

This information could help many people, but as she wrote it down what someone told her when they were out in a corn field came back to her, sometimes knowledge could be used for bad things too, something like this... if someone where to select a very important place to be their guild bade that could cause problems, especially if it was a place already claimed by other people but not having gone through the guild making process meaning even if they said they had a claim the system would simply over ride it... that had many issues and problems associated with it. A large guild could essentially have people join, then have them leave the guild with the funds needed to claim a new place as a new guild but have them work basically as a subsidiary and in that manner claim large swaths of land and many important buildings they could take over farms, mines, and things like that from people who took the time to make them... this was a bit of an issue..

This was knowledge that Dee Dee for the first time seen danger in letting just everyone know about.. and she wouldn't have even considered it before if it wasn't for meeting Tommy in that Corn field... It was worth considering if she should share this straight away or find out more about the system first so she could maybe find ways to protect important spots from being taken in such a manner.

Regardless she recorded the information for later and then looked to Hana as she mentioned the computer and printer, that was good news, though funny enough Dee Dee was actually looking forward to the printing press Idea since that would mean more then one place could produce her books, but this would certainly help her make a few copies quickly if needed, "Oh that would be very helpful, as long as I am registered as a guest I could come and print off more, but I think making a few printing presses and teaching people how to use those would be good to so other places could make news papers and the like, I mean the system is great and all but nothing beats a physical media especially for record keeping! So thank you for the offer being able to print out the book here would be really helpful so if I get any paper I will remember" the word bubble filled in with her message as she finished taking notes.

"As for supplies it's just there are a lot of things you can't get from the system shop, and I think Andy will agree that the food from the shop tastes a little... off or less real then food made with actual ingredients, I have heard several people say that after all, and for me the taste of the burgers you can get from the system shop taste more like convenience store ones rather then ones from home made or restaurants" the bubble added as she looked around once more.

Dee Dee was happy to help as she helped him pack up the stall, helping to serve the last of the customers as well before finally it seemed the whole thing was over, it was true it would be nice to have a rest now so she could head out to find a place to rest since she didn't have a set home anywhere, she could just set up her tent or something and enjoy a nice rest. As she thought of this Andy went on to comment about the vehicles and how she could likely open a garage, it was true she probably could but then it would have to be a traveling one since people couldn't bring vehicles into their inventory to carry them around, unless of course they took it apart since she was able to put car parts into her inventory before when helping Hana fix up her truck.

The Idea of a place run by only Waddle-dee's made her smile as she day dreamed about so many Waddle-dee's all in one place, a happy smile on her face as she thought about it and how cute it would be, it would be great if she could get that many Waddle-dee helpers, and it would help a lot of people to, well at least the ones with Vehicles anyway, but she could also fix wagons and the like to so it's not like it could only be vehicles like cars and trucks. In fact Wagons and smaller boats and carts would be a lot easier to fix over all.

The Mission completion screen popped up and Dee Dee looked over to Andy and Gave him a thumbs up at the idea of going to get their paycheck and she helped to pack up fully. With that all done though she gave a little Salute to Andy when he said goodbye and she too headed off on her way, pulling out her star and hopping on it to head to the waypoint so she could head back to where she came from since she wanted to open her cart there in the morning and then move later in the day, as she flew away she waved to Andy one last time before flying off, the star shining in the night as she flew away.

Dee Dee was a little confused by the saying, but as she sat there enjoying her food she figured he was trying to encourage her to take some pride her in ability, she remembered her parents telling her the same, but when she was little she didn't consider it important, after all Waddle-dee's never bragged about their ability, they were just there to help and that's how she always seen herself when she was learning all the things she knew now and the new things going forward. She really didn't see a reason to be tooting her own horn when she learned all this to be as helpful as possible in any given situation.

As Andy thanked her for the food she gave a thumbs up and took another bite out of her food while her friends continued to enjoy the food she had made for them as well, BombDee looking very pleased with a days work well done, and as Andy thanked them they all gave different responses, BombDee gave a little Salute and a nod, Kramer gave a little happy growl, and Jimmy nodded happily before digging back into his food.

The Fireworks were going off high above, and Dee Dee watched them, though Andy made mention abut the girl she was taking about and Dee Dee nodded "Maybe she will even try a Tomatonator!" appeared in the word bubble as she sat there hoping the girl in question would try her food next time after all she worked hard to make yummy food for people she should at least try it once right?

With her food nearly finished Andy made mention of the type of person he was and Dee Dee nodded a bit, getting the last few stragglers was a good Idea, after all she remembered being at some festivals and then being a little disappointed to find many of the little booths closed when the main event ended, and how happy she was when she would find the odd one that was still open for business after the main event she was sure others would feel the same way especially with food as some may have waited till after the main event to get food because they ate before they arrived but where now feeling hungry. It was the best time to make a few extra customers, and she knew that from being on the other side of that situation.

Though when Andy mentioned a few more minutes she noticed some people had gotten the Vehicle License from the system shop, she could understand it, so many people were used to it, but fuel and repairs were not available all over the place anymore, in fact she had to scrounge to help Hana fix up her beater of a truck, and find it fuel, sure it could be gotten from the system shop but that meant spending points on it when it could be used for better things, why not just get a wagon or pull cart to carry more first? "I see a lot of people spent points on getting a vehicle license from the system shop, kind of a waste unless you are making a lot of points considering how much fuel costs as well as the fact that so few know how to maintain a vehicle" the word bubble filled in.

Dee Dee Blushed a bit and scratched the back of her head "Awww I ain't that amazing" the word bubble said as she continued to work "I know this one place actually apparently it's a book store and little shop all in one, I met the people that run it, they seemed nice enough people they even took two copies of my guide, but they didn't seem all that interested in the food I sell from my cart" the Word bubble informed Andy as she finished off another order and passed it to BombDee so he could hand it to a customer.

When he asked about her parents she smiled a bit "Oh they were knowledgeable about a few things, they were gamers and I grew up gaming too, but then I got... well I ended up really taking to heart Waddle-dee's and wanted to be one for the longest time when I was a kid she blushed a bit embarrassed about that admission but the word bubble continued "it was because of that, that I wanted to be as helpful as possible and so I wanted to learn as many things as I could so I could be helpful in any situation, my parents taught me what they could, but when it came to things they didn't know we all learned it together, we went camping a lot, survival training, they even took lessons on how to use firearms and stuff, and I learned right along with them, martial arts, kendo, how to use a bow and crossbow, all sorts of things, it's one of the reasons I am not worried about them popping into the world once they are done their tutorial, they know about as much as me, maybe even more! and so when they come out or wake up in their tutorial I know they will do fine! I check every day, to see if I can send them a friend request Cause if I can that means they are out of their tutorial!" she gave a thumbs up.

As the customers started to thin even more and the sky got darker Dee Dee finished up serving the few remaining patrons he had on her side, and started to make a bit of food for herself, her friends and for Andy since they all would need some food and refreshment themselves after so much work.

Dee Dee continued her work, her stumbling was infrequent but it was there, but each time it happened she managed to catch, if not herself, at least the food and keep it safe, but she never got injured, though as she was serving up some of the food she had cooked up and passing it to BombDee she seen the message pop up and she thought about the answer as she continued to cook, looking at the size of the booth she took a second to think on how larger the star grew when it was being ridden and then she took one last look around before sending a reply "The area is to small for the star, it gets larger when it's being ridden, Don't worry I just have to get used to using a stepping stool, my Food cart is sized for me and so I keep forgetting that I am not on the ground while working here".

She sent the letter as she made the next order, the crowd was large but it was very slowly thinning out, it was good it was busy that meant there were a lot of people here that wanted to enjoy the festival, and on top of that it also meant that Andy got to try out his menu since she assumed that this was the menu or a prototype of the menu he would want to run once he got his place, he had mentioned wanting to be cooking for people after all so she assumed he wanted a proper restaurant.

BombDee was working rapidly as well, nearly falling off the counter a few times but he caught himself as well and continued to do his work while scooting around to get the finished food and hand it to the customer that ordered it, the process was going quite well really, and the Waddle-dee took a second to take a breath before returning to the frantic pace, thankfully working at Dee Dee's food cart had prepared him for this, in fact this was a bit easier since he didn't also have to help cook and manage the food all he had to do was run the till so it was manageable, the only issue was he sometimes forgot he was on the counter rather then on the ground but it was working out.

Kramer Meanwhile was handing out the books, as they were handed out more and more people wanted them, Kramer having to go back behind the counter to grab another pile of books, before returning to the side of the booth to hand them out to those interested, the Baby Dragon not having a problem with this work as it was easy and it made him feel like he was being a big help which really he was.
