In an open space in the village, a large group of children were playing. One of the older children was looking at Ian, and it seemed that something unpleasant had happened between them.
" Ian, you said there's lots of good food at Grey Castle Territory. Are you out of your mind? Why would you come back if there's so much good food?"
"If you don't believe me, fine, but the white bread there is really delicious, the roast meat is glistening with oil, and they even have iced Pea Porridge, you know? In the summer, their Pea Porridge is iced."
Little boy Ian reminisces about Grey Castle Territory The food he ate at the Peace Hotel was something he would never forget.
A group of children watched Ian's increasingly outrageous statements and looked at him with disdain.
" Ian, there's something wrong with you here." The older boy pointed at his head. "Who has ice-cold Pea Porridge in the summer? Let me see if you're ice-cold?"
"Hehe!" All the children laughed.
The little boy Ian was very angry, but he couldn't convince them that he couldn't have brought the things from Grey Castle Territory here.
However, he suddenly remembered what Uncle Henry had said that morning: " Ian, take this with you when you go out to play later. You can open it and eat it when you get hungry."
"Don't laugh, this is something Uncle Henry brought back from Grey Castle Territory."
The little boy Ian took out a round object from his pocket. It seemed to be wrapped in a layer of black leather and tied with a rope.
"Haha, Ian, what's this? Let me see! Oh my god! Is this Mara's dung? Is this what you brought back from Grey Castle Territory? Is it tasty?"
"Haha, so this is all the delicious stuff in Grey Castle Territory?"
" Ian, you really know how to comfort yourself. You only ran back because you had no other choice, and you still don't want to admit it."
The children's mockery hurt Ian deeply, and tears welled up in his eyes. But he held back, refusing to cry, because he knew what they were saying was true.
Ian took the thing back from his hand, looked at it closely, and was convinced it must contain something delicious.
He wanted to open it and let them taste it. He wanted them to see if the food from Grey Castle Territory was really that good.
As the binding ropes were untied, the black leather that wrapped the object came loose.
A white object appeared before the children's eyes.
"Huh? It doesn't look like dried horse manure."
" Ian, what is this?" a child asked.
"This is food, as I've already mentioned. However, I've never eaten this before. Now, I'm sharing it with you. Whether Grey Castle Territory's food is good or not, you can judge for yourselves."
Ian knew that even though he had never eaten this before, he was certain it would be delicious, based on his belief in Grey Castle Territory and the fact that the food in front of him looked amazing.
"Come and take one if you want to eat."
A child ran over, and with someone taking the lead, the small bag of cookies was quickly divided up.
The open space quickly fell silent, with only the crisp sound of cookies being bitten open.
"Anything else, Ian? " Everyone looked at Ian.
"Hehe!" The little boy Ian laughed. He knew he had won; the food at Grey Castle Territory was the best.
"No, only Grey Castle Territory has such delicious food." The little boy Ian looked south towards Grey Castle Territory.
The children followed Ian's gaze south toward Grey Castle Territory.
