The morning was far quieter and more peaceful than usual.
As Ian descended the stairs, he saw his party members already gathered in the first-floor dining area.
"Good morning..."
Hearing someone coming down the stairs, the members turned their gaze and greeted Ian.
Ian gave a casual wave and sat in front of the three, who occupied a central spot in the otherwise empty dining hall.
The restaurant was devoid of any other customers. Even the innkeeper, who should have been at their post, was nowhere to be seen.
Yesterday was the first day after the monster invasion ended. Since it was essentially a night of celebration, everyone likely drank until dawn and passed out.
Ian had planned to talk over breakfast as usual, but looking at the situation, it seemed things would remain this way not just through breakfast, but until lunch.
