章 43: Mistreated

Liora ran toward the pot with excitement.

"Stop right there, Liora."

Rere materialized in front of Liora, blocking her path with arms outstretched. Beads of sweat dripped down her forehead. It seems even that detail is faithfully reproduced.

Impressive.

As I marveled at this beside me, Rere began to speak insistently.

"Liora, you eat a lot! Our supplies aren't enough! I'm sorry, but the elves couldn't prepare enough for you!"

"… So I can't eat?"

"N-no! Uh... please don't look so sad with that expressionless face!"

"It's fine."

Well, Liora wasn't receiving enough food from her family. The idea of getting food from others probably never occurred to her.

Even though she was happy when she thought she could.

However, I never thought Rere could do this to her, well everyone for themselves huh.

Liora returned to me, seemingly unfazed.
