The next morning, at dawn...
Asiala—South City Gate
"Mm... This should be the place, right?"
Moss passed through the Subspace Rift and looked around.
"I remember the gathering place was right in front of the city gate."
At this time, even the city gate had yet to open.
However, the merchants and adventurers preparing to leave the city had already gathered here.
The morning market was already open, and the vendors were rushing to sell their goods to the travelers preparing to leave the city.
"Come take a look~ Come have a look~!"
"Freshly baked bread! Crispy and soft!"
"Potions, all kinds of potions! Cheap and effective! Come take a look..."
Making her way through the crowd, Moss took in the lively scene around her and couldn't resist buying some snacks.
"Phew... phew... So hot! Mm, this is pretty tasty."
Moss swallowed the food in her mouth and looked down in surprise at the parchment bag in her arms.
"I didn't expect there to be pastries similar to steamed buns here, but... the filling is Giant Marsh Poison Frog leg meat?"
Looking at the contents poking out from inside, Moss couldn't help revealing a complicated expression.
Was it novel? Or was it ordinary?
Hard to say!
Moss opened and closed her mouth, unsure what to say, but in the end, it turned into a relieved chuckle.
Oh well. As long as it tasted good, that was enough.
"Nom!"
She took another bite with relish and strolled along at her leisure.
As she neared the city gate, Moss finally spotted one of her temporary teammates.
"Yaaawn... I'm so sleepy..."
"The vice-leader is way too serious. Why did he make us come so early?"
A lazy-looking youth with crimson hair yawned as he grumbled in a resentful undertone.
