Qiong Xing wanted to contact Elias and the others, but unfortunately everyone who could communicate with them had fallen into the dungeon on this side.
The only one left was Fenrisúlfr who was likely with Elias's group, but only Qiong Xing could speak with Fenrisúlfr directly, making it difficult to pass messages.
With no easy way to search and rescue, the best option was simply to stay put and wait.
"Instead of just grilling, how about we try something a little different today?"
"Something different?"
Albe looked slightly exasperated and wondering what he was planning this time, but when Qiong Xing asked for help, he complied without complaint.
Albe began preparing fish after fish, and Qiong Xing added them into a mixture seasoned with soy sauce and mirin, letting them soak.
"...You're eating it raw?"
Although it was seasoned, Albe looked concerned at Qiong Xing's suggestion that it would not be grilled.
