Hulim calmly looked at the biscuits handed over by the old lady, and then said sincerely, "Thank you, grandma, but because of my special training, I have restrictions on what I can eat, so I can't eat anything casually. So, I'm sorry, I can't have this biscuit."
"Special training?"
The old lady looked confused. Not only her, but the young woman and the middle-aged woman also didn't understand what Hulim was saying.
However, Hulim looked serious. She touched her wand casually and nodded affirmatively.
"That's right! Very special training!"
"Uh... well, since that's the case... then forget it."
The old lady had no choice but to take back the biscuits she had handed over, and then turned around to share them with the only middle-aged woman in the carriage who was willing to eat them.
Compared to young women, who can tell at a glance that their lies are lame excuses, sometimes it is better to just come up with an outrageous reason that is in the other person's blind spot of knowledge, because it will make people feel confused and powerful, and thus convince themselves to believe you.
Well... ...that's how Semiris taught herself anyway.
... ...
“Ding-ling-ling~!”
A bell rang out.
The convoy stopped.
"Stop moving forward and rest for an hour!"
It was already noon, and regardless of whether the passengers in the carriage had eaten, the adventurers who served as escorts and the coachmen had to stop for lunch.
Outside, there was the sound of many people leaving the carriage.
Hulim stood up. She was also ready to have lunch, but not in the carriage. She had seen a small river outside and planned to eat by the river.
When the old lady saw her stand up, her eyes lit up and she wanted to reach out to touch her biscuits. However, Hulim just touched her wand with her hand, then signaled her with her eyes, and the old lady withdrew her hand helplessly.
At the same time, the young woman on the same bus was also hungry and wanted to get off to have lunch. However, as soon as she moved, the old lady stared at her.
“… …”
The young woman's mouth twitched slightly, and she could only sit back helplessly. It seemed that she would have to go hungry during the day.
So sometimes it is important to choose a good reason for rejection...
Come to the river.
Hulim took out the portable dry food prepared by Jessica and prepared to eat.
"Hey, the little girl from the Haieral family, sitting here eating alone?"
Suddenly a voice came from behind.
Hulim looked back and saw that it was the C-rank adventurer team that served as one of the guards, the Hunter Fang.
"Hello, Mr. Alec. Just call me Hulim. Would you like to have dinner together?"
"Haha~, well then, Hulim, I'll obey your command!"
Alec sat down carelessly, and his companion followed suit.
Alec looked at his companions and said, "By the way, Hulim, you don't know the names of my companions yet, do you?"
Hulim nodded.
Then Alec made his introductions.
He first pointed at the middle-aged man wearing armor and somewhat taciturn.
"This is Bart, our team's vanguard. Don't be fooled by his quiet appearance, he's very reliable!"
Bart, who was introduced, nodded silently to Hulim as a greeting, and Hulim politely returned the greeting.
"This is Anjie, this is York, and this is Steen."
Angel is the archer in the team, a woman with long hair, York is the magician in the team, and he always keeps his wand with him, and Steen is the scout, a man wearing a black mask.
"Finally, it's me, the team leader, Alec! Now that we're all acquainted, let's get along!"
After greeting everyone one by one, Lieya and his group took out their dry food and prepared to eat.
"Oh, Hulim, is this all you're going to eat?"
Alec looked at what Hulim was eating and couldn't help shaking his head.
"?"
Hulim was confused. "Mr. Alec, is there something wrong with what I eat?"
"Is there even a question? Of course there are! The so-called young people—"
“——You have to eat meat!”
As he spoke, Alec took out a piece of dried meat from his rations and handed it to Hulim.
"Come, eat this of mine!"
Hulim took a look at the dried meat handed to her, then looked up at Alec, who was chewing a piece of dried meat, and the same was true for the other people in the team.
"Thanks."
Hulim took the jerky handed to her by Alec without hesitation, and then imitated him, taking big bites, and finally tearing off only a small piece.
“… …”
“Hahaha~!”
Seeing this, Alec burst into laughter.
"Your teeth are too small!"
The other people in the team couldn't help but smile.
"Okay Alec, that's too much laughter!"
Anjie cursed with a smile, then stood up and sat next to Hulim, taking out her own water bottle.
"Come on, Hulim, soak the jerky in water like this, and it will become softer and easier to chew..."
"Thanks... ..."
Although it was a small joke, after this incident, the unfamiliarity between Hulim and the Fang Squad was also eliminated...
After lunch, there was still plenty of time before they set out again, so Hulim sat by the river, watching the fish swimming in the river and wondering whether she should catch some fish to grill in the evening.
