An old voice came from the darkness: "This is Old Mr. Hispid's seafood shop. You're injured, and my grandson found you. ※％※％,"
The one who answered was Old Grandmother Ougis. Although she was blind, her hearing was remarkably keen. She turned her head and gently comforted Hypamira, saying, "Don't worry, little girl. You can stay here without a care. Your family will come looking for you soon."
Anyone could tell that, judging by Hypamira's clothes and appearance, she was clearly the daughter of a noble family.
After hearing this answer, Hypamira stood there dazed for a long while before finally grasping the main point of the question. She asked, "May I ask what kind of place a seafood shop is?"
The thick-browed girl raised her brows slightly, as though she had finally found a chance to speak. She hurriedly answered, "A seafood shop is a place that sells seafood. My father handles the seafood trade throughout Rushta City. Every noble's table in the city gets its seafood from us."
After saying that, she added somewhat proudly, "Maybe some of the seafood you've eaten at home was even from my family's business."
"Seafood?" Poor Hypamira, a devout priestess of Himilud who had been born in the mountains, was hearing this fashionable term for the first time.
The thick-browed girl thought that this really was a young lady who knew nothing of farmwork or food. Strangely, though, she did not dislike her at all. In fact, she even felt a little fond of her. She answered, "Fish, shrimp, crabs, and other seafood."
Hypamira instantly snapped to attention. She widened her eyes and asked, "You actually eat shrimp and crabs?!"
"Of course. The Blue Lobsters from Cloak Bay and the sea crabs from Fiseld are all top-quality seafood." The thick-browed girl patiently explained.
