After hearing Daneel say these words, the 4 who had appeared at the door stared before breaking out into bouts of laughter.
However, this laughter immediately stopped when they saw the piece of fish in Daneel's hands.
It couldn't be mistaken for normal food in any way: the fish steak shone lustrously in the light, as if it were a treasure instead of food.
The fatty was the first one to run forward and point at it before stuttering. "I-is that…"
"Yes. Here."
Sighing, even though he felt reluctant, Daneel handed over the piece of which he had only taken a small bite.
After all, they had all worked together for it, and he actually liked these 4.
They were simple, honest teenagers who just wanted to find ways to lead life more easily.
With a flash, the fatty snatched it away and bit, but before he could eat more, he, too, entered a trance just like Daneel, savoring the incredible taste.
