–OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!’
He stiffened in his seat.

“Kabru are you…,” Rin’s concern is stopped by the rest of Kabru's party who says it was a doom of his own making anyways.

“I think you're overreacting,” Mithrun comments.
“Over what?” Kabru gritted his teeth.
“I was just thinking we already ate a lot earlier, right captain?” Mithrun's nod became utterly useless as both their stomachs grumble at once.

‘Dammit, why were we sent here at the exact time we're hungry?’

Even worse news was the text he read on the bottom of his tray.

Have at least a little taste
If you wish to escape
Of every food they ate

‘This is fine Kabru, you can deal with this,’ He thought, as his nails dug through the fabric of his seat.

Izutsumi was eating the mysteriously teleported food, it had meat so she didn't mind. Relieved that she was sat faraway from Toshiro and his retainers, instead she was surrounded by Laios's party.

She thinks to herself, ‘I feel weirdly safe for some reason’.
Still, that didn't stop the occasional annoying glances she'd receive from those retainers, to which she'd respond with hissing in return. And by glances Izutsumi mostly meant the oni girl waving at her from afar.

“Izutzumi…”
“I mean, Asebi!”
Tade greeted her friend with a smile, they haven't gotten the opportunity to speak earlier since so much had happened but she thought that now that the painting stopped for the moment they might as well chat. She sat up from the two seats she was on and waved at the cat girl.

“So this is where she went,” Iyo, or as she's called ‘Maizuru’ said. Izutsumi hissed, showing her fangs till Marcile swooped in with a stern face.

“She's with us now,” Marcile said with her eyebrows brought together.

“Did that elf remove it?” ‘I can't quite see her neck but if she still had it, she would be dead by now,’ thought Maizuru.

“█ ███, what about it?” Marcile said, her words nourishing the unease in the air.

Thinking this might escalate, Toshiro butts in. “It's okay, we can just leave her be.”

“Master-,” Maizuru sighed, looking at Shuro. “Fine, I'll just say the cat died,” she said before everyone sat back down and started eating again.


The Touden couple looked at the food on their laps. “Should we really eat this?” Ms. Touden asked with unease. In the end the two came to a similar thought, ‘They were safe after eating it before, so It should be fine, at the very least, it might show thanks to the dwarf for helping rescue our daughter, Senshi was it?’

“I'll taste it first, so you have nothing to worry about,” he said. The man's hand hesitated ever so slightly as he brought his spoon towards his mouth.

“Oh,” the husband gasped.

“What's wrong?!” asked his wife, her loud voice gained Falin's and even Laios's concern.

He paused, “it's good,”

“Don't make me worry like that!” she sighed in relief, pushing the man’s arm to let out a tiny bit of her frustration.
