Beside the waterfall, Su Xiao sat cross-legged on a rounded stone with his eyes closed in meditation. A'Mu was catching fish in the pool beneath the waterfall, while Bubu Wang was in charge of grilling them.
"Woof."
Bubu Wang barked, meaning, "The fish is ready. Time to eat."
After getting to his feet, Su Xiao stretched his muscles. The wounds on his body still throbbed faintly, but they no longer affected his combat ability.

Ao (leader of the Arakawa Adventurer Team): "We've
