Chapter 376: What's More Important?
Right as Gong and I walk through the gate, Ai, Lin, and the others seem to be relaxing with a few demihumans near the original town’s well. Just chatting and having a great time, as some more children run around a bit.
Surprisingly, Lin even has a strange meat sandwich she’s munching on, courtesy of one of the local people. Something pretty similar to what I ate back in this city, at one of the stalls.
As normal, I run my scan over everyone to make sure everything is alright. Both regarding the food, people, and if there’s anything to watch out for.
Mostly green flags.
It looks like life since I’ve left has dramatically improved for the demihumans here. And once the locals heard they were part of my group, they welcomed them like family.
A glance over at Lin and Mei Lin, who are passionately debating the merits of a fish sandwich vs a strange meat one, makes me think they are almost too relaxed. But there’s still a slight air of tension here with the group. I quickly find that there’s actually two people from our group who seem quite nervous. Jin Chin and He Wen.
Though for vastly different reasons.
A glance over at He Wen reveals that he's not too accustomed to talking with demihumans. Overhearing his conversation, I can clearly see why.
“Ha… hah. Ha. Yeah, fish meat is definitely better. Rat… I mean springling meat, wouldn’t be my personal choice.”
