Entry 156:

Linus Ozias POV:

As we ran through the countryside following the smell of dumplings and my servant senses, we found the fort from when we started Orleans but found only two men inside with the two camping on the fort's walls.

One of the men was wearing a large red and gold jacket and a green wreath around his head, looking rather big-boned, if you catch my drift. The other was a man wearing gold and black armor with black and red eyes who seemed to be constantly growling.

The big-boned man then says, "Not bad. Not bad at all. I prefer plump, delicious fruit, but this is not bad. Excellent form. Easy to transport. Keeps for days. And more than anything, it's easy to eat! Yes, yes, yes, yes! What is this? I can't stop putting them in my mouth! Once you start, you just can't stop! I've got no choice but to eat all the dumplings in the world!"

 And more than anything, it's easy to eat! Yes, yes, yes, yes! What is this? I can't stop putting them in my mouth! Once you start, you just can't stop! I've got no choice but to eat all the dumplings in the world!"

The other man wearing the gold armor starts to devour the dumplings as the other man laughs joyously and says, "Yes, my friend, eat! One cannot be a leader without enjoying the finer things in life."

The other man then responds by yelling, "AHHHHHHH! FATSOOO!" The other man scoffs and says, "I am not fat! I am plump! It is a symbol of my success in life

I nod, and as we walk up to them, the growling man seems ready to attack, with the other smiling and saying, "It seems we have visitors, my friend. I apologize, but these dumplings are ours as we found them fair and square." I then say, "But you see my successful friend, those were our dumplings to begin with, and they were stolen from us, so it seems we are at an impasse."

The man sighs but says, "If we could come to some form of agreement, I would ask you to take the dumplings but sell them at three times the price and give me the proceeds."

The silver-haired woman then says, "That is a ripoff, and you know it." The man scoffs and says, "When one holds all of the supply, Milady, they can make the demands."

I nod, but Mash seems ready to fight for them. "That food belongs to our organization, and we shall take it back no matter the cost. Without them, we cannot celebrate the festival."
