On one corner, a certain uncle-niece pair were butchering a monster together with a few others. A mercenary was even kind enough to lend them a dagger that could easily cut through the monster's meat.
They were confused but also flattered, but they didn't reject the kindness.
The uncle, Ersat, looked at his niece, Yulia, who was passionately taking her favorite part: the loin.
The extremely tender parts, best for grilling, roasting, and searing!
Her stomach growled just at the thought of it, and she maybe even drooled a bit.
Ersat looked at his niece. He remembered that before they were bought off, she acted like she was really going to die. She was coughing everywhere, apologizing for leaving him alone.
"This sickness will get worse..." she said, sobbing, though she suddenly got energized the moment they left the territory.
