Hunger (2)

[45 minutes after the conclusion of the encounter between Susano, Byrus and Sharon]

'Lars, can I ask you something...?'

'Mmm hmm...? What...?'

Lars was sitting at a roadside pull-cart diner.

He had already finished his takoyaki and was now eating a bowl of unknown meat on a pile of suspicious yellow leaves that could maybe, just maybe be considered vegetables... His plate of food was placed on the surface of a wooden carton that served as a table, and he was seated beside the stall owner's wagon that had been converted into a makeshift kitchen.

'...Why are you such a bastard...?'

'...Will you let it rest already...? How many times have I told you, I'm sorry, okay???' Lars answered in irritation, though deep inside he was still giggling madly at the prank he had played.

He could still remember the looks on Kizorik and Velzash's faces when they excitedly bit into their piping hot (supposedly) potato flour balls covered in a dash of dodgy red sauce.
