Sitting at a table shared by many children and caretakers alike, me and my colleague, Reins sat side by side.
We visited here to take a child into our custody, but after a few moments of being here, we were invited to dinner.
Caretaker: [Please eat up! It's the harvest festival, so we got a lot of food from the neighbors!]
There were various foods displayed on the table, with meat and exotic-looking foods we haven't seen before.
This cooking must have originated here since I did hear that mushrooms were the most produced plant here in its desperate times.
Reina: [The looks... very different.]
I looked at Reina and saw her slightly disgusted face.
Being one who brews poisons, seeing mushrooms on a soup might have taken her aback since most of them are poisons that would induce stomach pains.
However, all the children were eating it, along with bread and meat.
