Capítulo 60: The Water Hero

As the hours crawled by, the banquet seemed to stretch on indefinitely. While the feasting was limited to a mere hour, drinks flowed throughout the entire night. The other heroes enthusiastically indulged in the assortment of exotic delicacies, their faces lighting up with surprise as they eagerly devoured the dishes before them. Some retained their manners, but conversation dwindled as they rushed to fill their stomachs. Despite my initial melancholy, the alluring aromas and the spectacle of the heroes' enjoyment briefly rekindled my appetite, but that only led to disappointment as everything turned to ash the instant in met with my tongue. Even the fine spiced wines were thin, and I couldn't bring myself to down more than a few swallows.
