Leon had just finished pointing out everyone's weaknesses in combat and training. Noticing that it was almost noon, he decided to have a barbecue by the river. The group was excited by the idea and eagerly returned to the wooden house to gather the barbecue tools.
Since they were all big eaters, they had bought plenty of food. There was no worry about running out. The ingredients were plentiful, including a whole lamb, beef cattle, suckling pig, and whole chicken. Over the past two years, everyone had become skilled at grilling, especially the simple technique of barbecue.
With two bonfires set up, they placed the meats on the grills. As the meat roasted, it became crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Once sprinkled with the prepared barbecue sauce, the aroma filled the air, making everyone's mouths water.
Alongside the meats, there were frozen fruit drinks and vegetable salads, creating a rich and satisfying meal. Eating was casual; everyone either stood or sat on rocks, tearing into the lamb and beef, chatting and laughing. The youngest children played around, chasing each other and adding to the joyful atmosphere.
Leon, watching from the grill, smiled slightly. He enjoyed this comfortable, relaxed moment, appreciating the break from his usual state of anxiety and urgency. While he always felt a sense of crisis and was motivated by the need to protect himself from those who sought to harm him, he found solace in these peaceful, ordinary moments.
