Icon Commission Commission Description

Lighter has come to Cheesetopia, and he must've heard about how great it is...
*click*
Footsteps coming from just outside Cheesetopia announce the arrival of a customer.
And, straight out of a Western movie, a cowboy emerges through the non-existent swinging doors—
Story summary:
"The Cowboy Arrives Through the Swinging Doors"
"How come Cheesetopia doesn't even have anything resembling a door?" Lighter's comment on the diner is rather painful... But Kasa's brother, Dorian, who claims to be the "Honorary Advisor of Cheesetopia," did not agree... Once the argument ended and the misunderstanding was resolved, Dorian proposed a plan for the door's procurement: go to the Hollow and retrieve the legendary tavern door...
Lighter: Usually, it would be more polite to knock before entering, but you don't have anything even resembling a door here.
Lighter: This is the diner? The feast venue carefully selected by the boss? The Overlord's private property in Blazewood? The mysterious den run by the Legendary Proxy, Phaethon?
Lighter: This is... a bit of a dump, isn't it?
Icon Dialogue Talk Cheesetopia prospers with each passing day.
Icon Dialogue Talk The diner is still under repairs
(ProtagonistProtagonist): (‍Sharp as always, huh?Sharp as always, huh? / Hey! Watch it!Hey! Watch it!‍) Utopia wasn't built in a day! Nor was Cheesetopia! Compared to when I first took over, this place is a luxury diner now!
Lighter: Your definition of luxury really fits the Outer Ring, huh? You must be getting used to life around these parts!
Lighter: I'm here on a mission from my boss and her royal highness to see if there's anything I can help out with.
Dorian:Who is it? Who's strolling into Blazewood to cause a ruckus?!
Dorian: Oh? It's you? You look... You look pretty tough... Haha...
Lighter: Where'd this NPC come from?
Dorian: Hey! I'm no NPC! Listen up! I'm...
Dorian: I'm the younger brother of Blazewood's Mayor! A logistics specialist for the new Overlord and the Sons of Calydon! And the honorary advisor to Cheesetopia, which will soon become the most famous diner in Blazewood!
Icon Dialogue Talk What an impressive title.
Icon Dialogue Talk Doesn't sound that special to me.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): This is Dorian, as he said, a lazy (‍guyguy / dudedude‍) from Blazewood.
Lighter: Oh, you're a couch potato. When I was young...
Dorian: Ugh! I don't mind it coming from the Manager, but why did you have to repeat it?!
Dorian: Did you honestly think you could become as amazing as Lighter just by wearing a red scarf? Hmm?! I'll show you what it means to be a true Son of Calydon, you impostor!
You explain everything to them before the conflict worsens...
Dorian: So you're the real Lighter! Ah, my bad, my bad! Actually I came up with a "procurement plan" for the door already...
Dorian: In the depths of the Outer Ring Hollow, past the long and dangerous roads covered in Ethereals, across the deep and perilous ravines and valleys, and through the brambles and mist lies a... Magnificent tavern!
Dorian: Before the Hollow devoured it, it used to be the most popular destination for youngsters throughout the Outer Ring. If we can nab its door for Cheesetopia, wouldn't that attract a ton of customers?
Lighter: Are you telling me that we're charging headlong into a Hollow, brawling all the way to the bowels of an Ether-filled lair, and slaughtering hordes of bloodthirsty Ethereals, just to steal an old tavern door?
Dorian: Exactly right! I'd expect nothing less of you, Lighter! You got my idea right away!
Lighter: Cool... I'm in!
Icon Dialogue Talk What's so interesting about that?
Icon Dialogue Talk Is it really necessary to mobilize so many people?
(ProtagonistProtagonist): It's just a door. Why do this in the hardest way possible?
Lighter: My boss told me to go out and make myself useful! I was starting to worry about coming back with an uneventful report! Who knew an opportunity like this would come knocking at my door!
Lighter: Relax, Proxy. An issue that can be solved with fists is no issue at all.

Execute the "Grand Door Acquisition Plan" with Lighter

Icon Commission Step Description

"How come Cheesetopia doesn't even have anything resembling a door?" Lighter's comment on the diner is rather painful... In the end, we decided on an epic procurement plan... In the depths of the Outer Ring Hollow, past the long and dangerous roads covered in Ethereals, across the deep and perilous ravines and valleys, and through the brambles and mist to get the door of a legendary tavern...

Go back to Blazewood and meet up with Lighter

(Talk to Lighter)
Lighter: You recognize this door, right?
Dorian: Is this... a test, bro? Of course I do!
Dorian: After the first Overlord fixed things at Cinderglow Lake using the Sparkstone, he swaggered back to the old tavern, kicked in this door, and proclaimed that he saved the Old Oil Field!
Dorian: This has to be that legendary door, right?
Icon Dialogue Talk Nice story!
Icon Dialogue Talk Good call!
"Wait, does this door have such a back story?" Lighter shoots you a sidelong glance and whispers.
Lighter: You're great at spinning tales... I mean, figuring things out.
Dorian: Heh, I didn't become the "Cheesetopia Honorary Advisor" for nothing!
Icon Dialogue Talk Nah, you are the Advisor for nothing.
Icon Dialogue Talk Nah, you're the only one who thinks that.
Lighter: Since you know so much about this legendary door, let's install it and make it a legend.
Dorian: No worries, Lighter! I'll get the workers on it!
Dorian mutters and leaves...
Lighter: Manager, shouldn't you say something nice like... "Thank you for your hard work," maybe?
Icon Dialogue Talk Thank you for your hard work.
Icon Dialogue Talk Thank you so much, Master Lighter.
Lighter: So, where's my treat? Taking me to your restaurant, perhaps?
Lighter: Or are you waiting for me to, after such a long day, keel over from hunger outside Cheesetopia before tearfully swooping in with apologies? "Sorry, Master Lighter! I shouldn't have let you starve at my restaurant's doorstep!"
Icon Dialogue Talk Sorry, Master Lighter.
Icon Dialogue Talk I shouldn't have let you starve.
Icon Dialogue Talk At my restaurant's doorstep.
Lighter: By the way, prepare a meal for that clueless kid, Dorian, and the workers.
Lighter: Put it on my tab. Relax, my boss will foot the bill later.

Complete Menu Customization, and host Lighter

Icon Commission Commission Description

After a hard day's work, why don't you serve a delicious dish for your Calydon friends?
(Talk to Kasa, opens the VIP customer lightbox in the Overlord's Feast event menu)
(After selecting Stage 5 in Level 02)
Lighter: I don't have many requirements for food. Easy to eat, full of energy, as for taste... Well, that's a bonus I guess.
Lighter: After all, for people like us who make a living with our fists here in the Outer Ring, being picky is a pretty terrible flaw to have.
(After successfully completing Stage 5 in Level 02)
Lighter: Not a taste from the Outer Ring, but different from the fast food in the city, too...
Lighter: Looks like "City Life" is better than I expected.
(After exiting the total business revenue lightbox)
Lighter: "City life"? Not bad.
Icon Dialogue Talk How does it taste?
Lighter: Almost makes me crave the city life where I can feast on junk food every day.
Lighter: ...Just kidding. Can't make a living in the city with just fists, right? But perhaps you could give me a cushy job at Random Play, Manager? My boss wouldn't mind if it were for you.
Icon Dialogue Talk My [sic] suggestions for improvement?
Lighter: Well, if I had to nitpick... I'd swap the coke for Nitro-Fuel.
Lighter: Now that we've dealt with the "city life," I'm off to help my boss handle the Outer Ring "troubles."
Lighter: Take good care of Cheesetopia, Manager... and that clueless kid.
Lighter: If my boss didn't need me elsewhere, I might stick around as a waiter.
Lighter: Oh, and the new door for Cheesetopia is all set. Got it fresh from the Hollow with that Etheric vibe. I hope you'll like it.
Lighter: And don't forget my dinner! Catch you later, Manager.
