Food Stalls by the Gate

"This is a village?" Bumi asked, tilting his head in confusion. "Really?" 

"Is it always like this?" Grandma asked, making Cassie chuckle. 

"Although our nights have always been lively, it's much rowdier now during the Extreme Heat. After all, people couldn't go out much during the day." 

This confirmed that they were still in the Extreme Heat, at least in theory, though the more they saw the harder it was to believe.

For one, in normal situations, normal territories wouldn't have stalls set up right outside the gate when there was a huge mob trying to get inside. 

"Gouji Shake to refresh your day… er… night! 90 copper for a small cup~" 

"Refreshing mint candies~ 100 copper a bag!!" 

"Have nice minted meat sticks here! 100 copper a stick!" 

"Lemon juice, only 120 copper for a big cup!" 

The refugees gulped, and their eyes gravitated towards the various stalls selling food and drinks.
