67 Meal

"What do you mean? I'm perfectly fine"

"...."

That doesn't sound like he's perfectly fine at all. However, Layla decide not to continue on this topic since BRava didn't want to talk about it. The boy has been very honest with her up to this point. He got to have a good reason to lie.

"Let's head to the mountain then."

"Why?"

"Michael's there"

They proceed to pick up Michael and went back to the village.  If they want to have a boat that floats, they have to lower some off because the boat is crammed full of people and monster meat. Layla and her friend are a little sad about this. 

"Should we throw Michael out for more room?" Hosy suggests.

"No!!"

Michael objects loudly, he doesn't want to be in the water again. The brush with death has been the worst experience in his life.

"Jeez, it's just a joke. Grow some spine."

Michael went silent and Layla speak up for him.

"I'm sorry Michael, Hosy didn't know."
