"Really?"

Lida opened her eyes wide and asked excitedly, "Grandpa Zefa, will I be full?"

"grandfather..."

Zefa paused for a moment, then his expression softened as he touched Lida's head.

Lida instinctively wanted to back down, but looking at him, she suddenly froze, letting Zefa stroke her head.

“Rare white hair, huh? Your name is Lida, right? So cute.” Zephyr chuckled. “Don’t worry, you’ll be well-fed.”

This made Kuro's expression turn strange.

"Hey, Kuro, what's with that long face? It's just food. You're not going to starve this kid, are you?" Zephyr said to Kuro jokingly.

You're absolutely right!

That's only half true. Lida wouldn't go hungry while she was at headquarters, or if she found a town where she could eat.

But during such voyages, there will always be times when we go hungry.

Especially in this situation, when the warships brought them here before, they didn't leave much in the way of supplies, because the newly assigned naval base would bring supplies tomorrow.

Right now, of course, I'm hungry.

"I'm amazed at how incredibly brave you are, old man Zephyr," Kuro exclaimed sincerely.

"?"

Zefa was somewhat puzzled.

It's just giving someone a meal, how is that considered so heroic? Is this an insult?

That little brat, Kuro!

Zefa quickly understood why he said he was very brave.

At first, it was just food stored in a warship, given to Lida to fill her stomach, since a little girl like her couldn't eat much.

Then, they felt that the readily available food in the warehouse was not enough for Lida, so they called in the naval cook to prepare some filling and delicious food on the spot.

Then, the chefs on the ship felt a bit exhausted, so another ship of chefs came to continue serving Lida.

Then, the kitchen staff of the three warships...

With each additional ship, Zefa's expression changed slightly, until now it was almost dripping with gloom.

What did he just say?

Let this brat eat his fill?

I do seem to have been quite brave.

"Can you eat that much? Are you from the Luo family of the Flower Kingdom?" Zefa gritted his teeth and blurted out.
