After saying that to them, he looked at Hudson, "Here in Hope Village, we treat visitors as warmly as a spring breeze, you'll find out if you stay long enough, don't worry! In Hope Village, there's definitely no danger to your life. By the way, do you want to eat something? Our store's current specialty is Hot and Sour Noodles, how about you try that?"
"...Okay." Of course Hudson could feel the difference in how the shopkeeper treated them, but under someone else's roof, you had to bow your head, so he agreed in the end.
Then he found a quiet spot to sit down and started observing the situation around him.
After that little episode, everyone went back to burying their heads and eating.
At the table next to his, there were two people grabbing around in their bowls with two sticks. Soon, they fished up a clear noodle and brought it to their mouth, but after a couple bites, the rest of it slipped right back into the bowl.
Can you even pick up food with sticks like that?
