Alternatively: when you've already played this game before so you have the N items you need and now have to spend your time tapping through the dialogues to give them the next item.

The NPC has no comment on how you have all these items in your possession in advance.

Please bring me two apples. There is an apple tree nearby our village. What? You already have the apples? Thank you. Next I will need four bananas. Bananas can be found in the rainforest region. What? You already have all the bananas? Now I can bake ma apple banana pie, all thanks to you!
