"Hngg…?"
Carl was jolted awake. As soon as he woke up, the enticing aroma of food permeated the air and reached his nose.
Looking around, it seems like Cid was cooking something up on the grill. The goblins were gathered around him, baffled by the sight.
But the first thing that Carl had thought of was his sister.
"....Emi—Ah."
Immediately, he found her sitting beside him, watching Cid cook with curious eyes.
Hearing his voice, Cid turned his head slightly and opened his mouth.
"Oh, you're awake now. You must be hungry. Food will be ready in a few minutes."
"Ah, yes, okay…"
Carl stammered. It had been a long time since someone, besides old man Eren, had been this kind to him.
He truly appreciated the people who accepted his request, despite the reward being lackluster.
But in the first place, why did they even accept such a ridiculous quest?
The contents of the request were misleading, and Carl knew that.
