Not Enough Money for Lodging

In the end, they decided to figure something out with Akasaka's 30 Col and use it to fill their stomachs.

Because they really had no other options...

Usagisawa Misumi threw a tantrum, making such a fuss that both Asuna and Akasaka covered their ears with their hands...

Neither of them had eaten, so they were already in a foul mood. After Usagisawa Misumi made such a scene, they both compromised and decided to deal with food first.

Asuna said to Akasaka as they walked, "I'm borrowing these 30 Col from you. I'll definitely pay you back someday."

Akasaka smiled helplessly. "It's fine. It's only 30 Col, not some huge amount of money."

The three of them arrived at a small restaurant.

They ordered the cheapest set meal.

Plain boiled noodles.

They cost 17 Col.

The two of them sat together, resting their cheeks on one hand as they watched Usagisawa Misumi eat.

As for them, they did not order anything, because they did not have enough money left...

Thirty minus seventeen left them with 13 Col. The remaining money was not enough to order even the cheapest bowl of noodles.

Though they were just ordinary plain boiled noodles, Usagisawa Misumi ate them with exceptional relish, as though they were some heavenly delicacy.

When people were starving, everything tasted good.

Just like Zhu Yuanzhang in the past—he ate that beggar's so-called jade, pearl, and white jade soup. In reality, it was just rotten cabbage and all sorts of random things stewed together, yet Zhu Yuanzhang still thought it was delicious.

After Usagisawa Misumi finished eating, she did not even leave the thin broth behind. She drank it all in one gulp and let out a satisfied "Ah~," indicating that she was full. She rubbed her little belly with a blissful expression.
