There were food rations in one of the carts, but Lady Tamar had also slain an Awakened Monster in the morning. There had been enough time for Rain to harvest a slab of meat before the survey team continued on its journey, so now, she was ready to cook a delicious supper.
Although the team wasn't big, there was a clear separation between people. The Awakened mostly kept to themselves, the survey specialists did the same, and the porters generally stuck together.
Right now, they were gathered around a fire, watching Rain roast meat with gleaming eyes.
"Wait, wait, everyone… it will be done soon! We're having a feast tonight!"
She grinned and turned the juicy strips of meat, making the melted fat sizzle. A delicious aroma permeated the air.
One of the laborers laughed.
"Rani, kid… if I was thirty years younger, I would have married you right here and now. No questions asked."
