Mujika was serving cups to everyone and asked me for assistance.

"Careful now." Mujika says while handing a cup to a kid, and I did the same.

"No one seems to mind they're demons, which is weird." The raven kid says and the orange haired girl replies with a 'yeah.'

"Here you go, Ray." The kid known as Dominic says to the older male named Ray, offering him the cup.

"Here, Emma!" Rossi says and they both take the cups they were given. They both were hesitant from the looks they gave the cups filled with food.

"They made us lunch earlier and it was fine. If they wanted to do something bad to us, they would have by now." Gilda says.

"Besides, if they wanted to eat us or whatever, why'd they bother nursing you two back to health? They saved us, so we can trust them." Don says.

"Do you all have enough food?" Mujika asks and the children all replied with a 'yes!'

They all sat down and clasped their hands together, which seemed to startle Emma.

"We are grateful to Heaven and Earth for our lives and this blessed meal we are about to receive." Sonju says,

"Thank you for this food." Both Sonju and Mujika say and bow their heads.

"Thank you for this food." The children all say and start eating.

"Thank you for this food." Both Ray and Emma say quietly.

"It's not poisoned, I made it myself." I say, after a few moments Ray started eating it first and quickly started eating even faster after the first taste.

"It's good." Emma says after a bite with teary eyes.

After a few moments of eating, Mujika looked at me.

"Oh dear, I thought you had gotten some food already. Please get some." She says with a smile.

"I'm fine. I can go weeks without eating anything." I say and she frowns, from upon hearing this everyone turned their heads at me.

"It's not fair that we are all eating, you should eat too!" Aliza said and all the other kids replied with a 'yeah!'

"I swear, I'm fine. It's better if you all have it more than me anyways." I say and Ray stands up. He grabbed a cup and served some food inside it and walked over to me.

"Here. Just eat, they won't back down, plus food gives us energy so you should eat up." He says and hands it to me.

*Silence*

"Well go on then, eat up." Ray demands and I sigh.

"Fine..." I say and turn away from everyone to eat, it was good yes, but I kinda missed big brother's almond tofu.

'I wonder how he's doing right now, I'm so gonna get in trouble for not making him his daily special almond tofu. Oh I hope Yanxiao can make him some, I'm sure Verr will force him to eat anyway.' I say with a smile.
