"Your cooking is always delicious, Riki... but since when did you learn to cook like this? I don't think you were very good at cooking before," asked Evan.

At that time, they were having lunch, sitting on the grass on a carpet. Their camping site was very spacious, with several other people camping there, as well as groups who were just picnicking.

Riki and his friends spread out a carpet under a large pine tree because the weather was very hot.

"You know I live alone, right? Of course, I will always improve my cooking," replied Riki casually. There was no way he could say that he got his cooking skills from the system.

"But this is really amazing. I saw how you cooked, and I saw all the ingredients you used. There's nothing strange about them. I could even imitate the way you cook with the same ingredients, but the taste would definitely be different," said Zeno.

"Maybe his hands have a special spice that makes the food taste good," replied Aslan.

Zeno turned to his twin, glaring at him, "Riki washes his hands repeatedly, there's no way there are spices on his hands, are you crazy?"

"That's not what I mean, I mean, it could all be thanks to his hands. People call it the golden touch, when you always succeed at something," replied Aslan, also annoyed because Zeno always had a reason to argue with him.

"That makes sense, the golden touch," said Evan.

Riki sighed deeply, then started cleaning the dirty dishes. However, Aslan quickly stopped him.

"Hey, let me do it, because I didn't help with the cooking."

Hearing that, Evan, who had been about to lean his back against a tree branch, ended up helping to clean up the dirty dishes.

The campsite was fully equipped, and they had a place to wash dishes. So, Aslan and Evan went there.

Zeno turned to Riki, wanting to invite him to take a short walk around the area while waiting for Aslan and Evan to wash the dishes.

"Riki—"

"I think it's going to rain tonight. Are there any tents that can withstand the rain? I mean, ones that won't let the rain in easily?" asked Riki.

Zeno furrowed his brow, then looked up at the sky.

The weather was sunny that afternoon, with no signs of rain at all.

"Everyone can fit in the car if you're worried, Riki," replied Zeno.

Riki patted his forehead, "Oh, that's right. We can even enjoy the rain from inside the campervan."

"But I don't think it will rain," said Zeno.

Riki furrowed his brow, then he began to realize. If that detection skill could also be used for the weather.

Suddenly, the weather conditions appeared just as Riki was thinking about whether it would rain that night or not.

"I mean, just be prepared. Right now, the weather is unpredictable. Even in the dry season, it can suddenly rain, right?" said Riki.

"You're right, let's take a look around here while waiting for Aslan and Evan to wash the dishes."

Riki agreed to Zeno's suggestion. He immediately stood up and walked with Zeno, just wandering around the campsite.

It turned out that not far from there, there was a small river. It was a very clear river, originating from a spring under the mountain.

Some people came to see the river or play in it. Several fish were released into the river. Riki even saw koi fish there. That's why people camping there were not allowed to fish there. They were only allowed to fish during special events.

The river wasn't as big as the Arcelia River; it was only about three meters wide.

It was so clear that they could see everything in the river.

"Oh, aren't you the one who was talking to me earlier? Aslan, right?"

Riki quickly turned to Zeno. His eyes widened as he looked at the woman again. The woman who resembled his mother. Up close, she seemed older than Riki but younger than his late brother. About the same age as Sean.

Speaking of Sean… the woman resembled Sean if you looked closely.

Like a combination of Riki's mother and Sean.

Ugh, it seemed like Riki was thinking too much. To the point that his mind was confused like that.

"No, I'm his twin brother, Zeno," replied Zeno.

"Hahaha, you're so funny, trying to trick me, huh?"

Zeno turned to Riki, confused about what to do.

"Zeno and Aslan are twins, can't you see that their clothes are different?" asked Riki.

The young woman finally looked at Riki, and her reaction made Riki and Zeno very confused.

She looked as if she had just seen something extraordinary.

"What's wrong? Why are you staring at me like that?" asked Riki, confused.

Suddenly, the young woman stepped in front of Riki. She reached out her hands to cup both sides of Riki's face, staring at him with wide, funny eyes. She even squeezing both of Riki's cheeks, making his lips pout like a duck's.

Zeno chuckled at the sight, it was so silly.

"You... you look so much like my brother! Oh my god! No, not my brother... but my cousin. I have an aunt who passed away. You look so much like my aunt's son, oh gosh. Unfortunately, I only met my cousin once, because my family lives in the countryside, it's very difficult to go to the city. Oh, I have a photo of my younger brother— I mean, my cousin, just a moment, okay?" The woman took her hand off Riki and searched for something in the sling bag she was wearing.

She looked back in disbelief when she couldn't find her smartphone in there.

"Oh no! I think I left it in my tent, I'll go get it. You two are in that expensive campervan, right? I'll meet you there, okay?"

The woman left just like that.

Leaving Riki and Zeno bewildered.

"Wow, crazy, she's really beautiful, isn't she? Is she an idol? If only you put her in Hayper Entertainment, people would never stop talking about her unique beauty. Like a fox, right?" muttered Zeno.

Riki turned to Zeno, "A fox?"

Zeno laughed, "Well, you know... people classify face shapes based on certain animals. Popular face shapes are like rabbits, deer, cats, dog, foxes, even snakes. I know this because my older sister never misses an opportunity to talk about someone's face type. She even said your face looks like a duck."

Riki's face turned sour, "A duck? There are many other fierce animals, such as tigers, lions, wolves, pumas... why a duck?"

"Or a baby puma."

Riki wrinkled his nose, annoyed by Zeno's words.

"Now that I've got a puma, I look like its baby? But that's much better," protested Riki.

"Hey, why? Ducks are cute and adorable."

Riki walked back to the car quickly. Zeno struggled to keep up with Riki's long strides.

"I don't like being called cute or adorable," Riki protested again.

After Aslan and Evan finished washing the dishes, they locked the car and walked towards the hill.

Many people were walking up the hill, while others were walking down. There were also many foreign tourists visiting the place.

As the hill became more famous, the government built roads and stairs to reach the top of the hill to make it easier for visitors. In addition, fences were built around the edges because there had been many cases of people slipping and falling.

Finally, they reached the top of the hill around four in the afternoon. It took more than thirty minutes to climb the hill. Moreover, there were many people there and it was quite crowded.

Even so, it turned out that the top of the hill was quite spacious. Several gazebos had been built there so that people could sit and rest.

"Quick, take my picture here!" Aslan suddenly handed his smartphone to Riki.

Riki had no choice but to take a picture of the boy. However, after seeing that Riki's photos were good, Zeno and Evan also asked Riki to take their pictures.

Riki was good at finding the best spots and angles for them.

"Even without editing, the results are already very good," said Aslan.

"Yes, yes, yes, now it's my turn. Quickly, the three of you take my picture. If the results are bad, I'll throw you all off this cliff," said Riki.

The three of them chuckled when they heard this, but they obeyed Riki's request to take his picture.

They took turns doing it, and Riki saw that they were quite serious.

However, when Riki saw the results, he really felt like throwing the three of them into a volcanic crater.

"What kind of results are these? You guys didn't put any effort into it, did you?" protested Riki.

Even Riki, who usually didn't like taking pictures, felt very annoyed this time.

He took good pictures of the three of them, but got nothing in return.

"Let me take your picture, how about that?"

Riki quickly turned around when he heard that familiar voice.

"Sean? Didn't you say you were going out of town with Deva and Travis?" asked Riki.

Then Riki saw Deva and Travis still trying to climb the stairs. It turned out that they were only big in size, but not in strength.

"We saw your post earlier when you just arrived here. Coincidentally, the three of us will passing by this place. Then I asked to go to the hill for a moment. I didn't expect you to still be here," said Sean. Then he grabbed Riki's smartphone, ready to take his picture.

"Quickly pose there. I promise I won't disappoint you like those three people," said Sean.

Meanwhile, the three people he was referring to just grinned when they heard him.

"See, the results are great..." said Sean, after taking many photos of Riki from various angles.

"You are more talented than those three people," replied Riki.

"Hey!! You!!"

Riki turned to the voice of the young woman from earlier. The young woman was exhausted after climbing the stairs. Not only Riki, but everyone else turned to look at her, even strangers. Because the young woman's voice was very loud.

Sean's eyes widened when he saw the woman.

"She's..."

"Do you know her?" asked Riki.

Sean nodded, "The reason I went out of town..."
