He’s pleasantly surprised and will add that you’ve saved the day.
There are three different options to choose from. These options will influence some dialogue that will follow, but they won’t impact the story.

You then set off to track down all the ingredients you still need to purchase here in the shop. To pick out ingredients, you need to earn five stars within eight hours.

Penny will ask if you agree and whether you’ve learned anything.
There are three different options to choose from. These options will influence some dialogue that will follow, but they won’t impact the story.

In any case, after a brief conversation, you will agree that this has been an exciting adventure and that helping each other is what makes friendship meaningful.
