Chapter 200: Hurt Again

Damon leaned against the side of the street stand, watching Sylvia take a bite out of a freshly grilled kebab. The skewered meat, charred at the edges, glistened with oil and spices. She hummed in delight, pressing a hand to her cheek as she chewed.

"Hmmm… what is this meat?" she asked, licking a bit of sauce off her lips.

The street vendor, a scruffy-looking man with a nervous smile, hesitated. He had planned to tell her after she had eaten at least five, but Damon had already slipped him a few zeni to keep his mouth shut.

For the past few minutes, the white-haired elf girl had unknowingly devoured seven different kinds of skewers, savoring each bite without a second thought.

"The spice is unique," she mused, rolling the taste over her tongue. "I like it, but it could be spicier… This would do well with elven spices."

Damon nodded, a small smirk tugging at his lips.

"Those are elven spices… just the cheap kind," he said.
