A minute later, the entire team was awake.

Well, sort of awake, all the travelling must have taken a toll on Petunia as the young girl was barely functioning.

Kai felt sorry for her, considering they had another five months to go before she could finally relax.

"Alright." Kai said as he looked at the group, all five of them sat in front of him in a line, he had taken Esurient out of his soul, the Ruby blade was floating in line with the rest of them.

Never in his life did he think he would be the leader of a group, much less one this mismatched. He had technically created the A-Team back in The Dome with Noelle, Sofia and John, but that hadn't exactly gone well as he had his falling out with Noelle soon after that.

And after that... Kai had mainly worked with Wa'rak.

Now his team consisted of a stealthy rat, a blonde child that was apparently talented, his trusty wolf sidekick, a floating sword and an ex-Queen.

If he were to be asked which team he preferred...

"Let's get down to business."

Kai turned his head to look at Cecilia, who was going to be acting like his second in command for this whole operation.

"Cecilia, you will be my assistant, so I need to know all the details."

Kai sighed softly, dreading the answer to the question he was about to ask.

"...What's our food situation like?"

This was the topic Kai was hesitant to approach, as he was still much too weak to go out and hunt any rhino bear beasts right now, so he would have to rely on Umbra and Esurient to do that, but he was also hesitant to do that just in case they got injured.

But that also meant that if they couldn't hunt, they would starve.

But to Kai's surprise, Cecilia's eyes lit up at the question.

Actually, now that Kai thought about it, it had been five days since he passed out, so what had they been eating?

"We do not have to worry about our food situation, its all solved with the help of this item."

The next moment, a wooden box appeared on the ground in between Kai and the rest of the group.

Curiously, Kai tilted his head and analysed the box.

... It literally just looked like a wooden box.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to say something, Cecilia opened her mouth again.

"Poached eggs."

Now Kai was really confused.

Only that confusion turned into amazement as Cecilia reached into the wooden box and pulled out a plate with three poached eggs on it and a knife and fork to go along with it.

She then handed the plate to the awestruck Kai, a small smile on her face.

"Here, eat up, I'm sure that you're hungry."

In all honesty, Kai surprisingly wasn't that hungry, but the sight of the eggs in front of him completetly changed his mind.

Taking the plate, Kai took a soft bite of an egg, the yolk dripping onto the plate as he cut it open.

The taste was heavenly.

After swallowing, Kai stared blankly at Cecilia and said:

"That box..."

Cecilia smiled once more.

"It's a Legendary item that was in the treasury. The best thing about it is that the only requirement is that it cannot create food that costs over ten thousand Units."
