Amid the people evacuating from the stampede, a building resounded with a delicious aroma and the sounds of cooking.
In the Suzuya tavern, Nimi was busily grilling steaks.
Next to her, one of the helpers was cutting the steaks, and the other was putting them ten each into paper boxes they had prepared.
What Nimi and the others were making was rations for the soldiers.
She had previously heard from Raide that on the battlefield there are times when victory or defeat is decided by whether one can eat a meal or not.
Fia, standing at the entrance to the kitchen, smiled and asked Nimi.
"Nimi, when did you make those paper boxes?"
"These are from during the daily breaks. You two also helped, didn't you?"
"I never thought we would end up using them this soon…"
"Really…"
At Nimi's words the two helpers looked at each other and laughed with exasperated looks.
Nimi who saw the two also ended up laughing while facing Fia.
