When Mao Mao gets hungry for the perfect adventure, Adorabat tells a white lie of an urgent quest.
Tropes:
- Big "NO!": Adorabat does a particularly operatic one when Mao Mao considers ending his time as an adventurer.
- Changed My Mind, Kid: After quitting the adventure, Badgerclops returns just in time to help Mao Mao fight the centipedes.
- Creepy Centipedes: The group is attacked by giant centipedes in the cave under the castle.
- Distinction Without a Difference: Mao Mao declares he intents to train Adorabat as a Action hero, daring adventurer, and protector of the weak. Badgerclops questions if there is a difference between those things.
- Fake Ultimate Mook: The centipedes are set up to be the Final Boss of Mao Mao's perfect adventure, but King Snugglemagne explains that they're just common pests he hasn't gotten around to deal with.
- "Fawlty Towers" Plot: Adorabat comes up with a lie in order to create the perfect adventure, and is forced to come up with more lies to keep the charade going.
- Line-of-Sight Name: Adorabat invents a mystery concerning the delivery vans with bags full of apple bombs after seeing a kiosk that sells lip balm.
- Milkman Conspiracy: Adorabat makes up a conspiracy involving Pure Heart Valley's delivery vans for Mao Mao's adventure.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Badgerclops quits going along with Adorabat's adventure scheme because he's tired of having to climb so many stairs.
