On the second day, around 10 AM, five people excluding the Moose leader and the newly arrived Flan gathered together for lunch.
"The taste is a bit bland, but in such a place, being able to eat food like this really feels good." Flan ate hot oatmeal with a wooden spoon, feeling quite pleased.
After a night of rest, his originally tense and exhausted mind relaxed a lot. In fact, it wasn't only Sura and Guy who held a sense of caution towards him; Flan also felt wary, fearing that someone might kill him in his sleep and take his necklace and nameplate.
This was land without a country or law, where reputation and credibility had to be judged by oneself.
Luckily, after a night of fighting together and good rest, both sides reluctantly established the first bit of trust.
The reason why Tilan and Ores weren't suspected by Sura was that they were too special; in her view, their appearance and attire were definitely not those of people who come to such remote places to scam.
