I immediately tasted it without wasting much time, the taste was nice and slightly sweet, even, the broth of the meat could be clearly felt, but the thing that surprised me (even though I expected it) was the spicy flavor that quickly kicked off in the last minute, my entire mouth was burning and I ended drinking a lot of water to calm myself down a bit. I had eaten spicy food before but not this spicy. I looked around me and saw the children enjoying it, some drank water but everyone was eating it rapidly. I quickly gave the stew a second opportunity and began eating it constantly, the spiciness made it addict, making me want to eat everything on it.

The soft potatoes and carrots combined well with the spicy broth, and the delicious meat chunks were generous as well, the onions and garlic had almost completely melded with the soup so I barely found any piece on it. Overall, the food was so good I could barely keep myself from gulping it all down. When I finally finished, I sighed in relief while drinking a bit more of cold water, my mouth was burning but it felt so nice in the moment that I couldn\'t wait!

"I-I want more!" Zack said at my side, already having finished his plate.

"Me too!" Aquarina was fast to ask for more as well.

"Well, I would like to try out more of the food though…" I sighed, I felt like my stomach was getting bubbly and hot, I had to eat something else if I didn\'t wanted a stomachache. At the end of the day my body is still that of a child, I shouldn\'t had eaten this much! If I use fast metabolism and other spells, I could probably digest things quickly, but then I would need to go to the bathroom quickly! …So I will bear with this hot sensation in my stomach for now, all while I eat more.

"Do you guys like it? I am happy…" Mary giggled. "The food of my tribe is made so we can be always filled with energy and stamina…"

"It is tasty, but very spicy…" I sighed.

"Hmmm! I think I am resistant to spichyness!" Said Mist. "It\'s very tashty, mama!"

"Fufu…" Mary seemed happy as she saw everyone enjoying her food. Lucia, however, also wanted everyone to try out her food. She quickly began to serve us small plates with what seemed to be rice with meat and vegetables, and that one sauce made from fermented beans we found in another town.

"This is Lucia\'s tribe specialty. In the continent where they originated, there are large swamps where Lamias live, in there they harvest this grain as well, and make all sorts of dishes with it. This is named fried rice, and uses oil, meat, and vegetables accompanied with a spicy yet sweet sauce, and rice of course." Said Mary. "I-It is very tasty, well done, Lucia."

Lucia couldn\'t speak, but she smiled adorably, everyone quickly began to dig in, as I also ate it. This fish was way more refreshing and wasn\'t spicy like the stew, the rice with the meat and vegetables made an amazing combination, and that sauce made out of fermented beans made things even better. It was like a party in my mouth and everyone was invited, the freshness of cabbage, carrots, bean sprouts, corn, all combined with tasty chunks of bird monster meat and rice, it was all so nice it made me smile. I wolfed everything down quicker than I thought.

The children sitting around the table all looked happy, some of them were very thin, so I was happy to see them eating to their heart\'s content. I am happy my parents choose to help. I suppose… part of the reason might be the guilt of what they had done in the war, perhaps to feel better with themselves ultimately. I can understand them though, a lot of people often felt this way when they\'re guilty about something they did, trying to make up for it by doing good deeds. Especially because these children are all demons or beast-kin, who are being discriminated by this town.

And well, the discrimination part and the slavery is a whole different topic, I suppose they\'re planning to resolve that as well… It is getting rather late today, but I wonder if they\'re going to do it tonight or in the next days. Depends on how brash my parents and the other adults can be. I would recommend them to first investigate, but I doubt they would listen to me. I am hoping they are considerate about everything else going on.

Hahh~ If I think about it too much, many other things begin to emerge inside of my head. There\'s a lot to do to be honest, from going to the dungeon and completing some quests, to helping the orphanage and getting to know the children here, befriending Celeste a bit more alongside Mist, and then also seeking the one that abused of Mist and beat the shit out of them. I suppose that could be ultimately connected with my parent\'s quest as well, and there\'s nothing saying they wont investigate that as well. They\'re so strong that it makes me feel like they can do anything, but can they really do anything? I often wonder that a lot…
