There were quite a few people here, but each seemed to enjoy this gathering.

'See, ah,'

Uh-oh.

　Fran was born with a different right arm from the norm.
　It was her personality, but it also made everyday life difficult.

　She has learned to use her left hand, but it's still one handed. I've heard that it can be difficult to do many things.
　For example, eating.

　Right now, Lace was scooping soup with a spoon and putting it in Fran's mouth.

"Mugu.

　Fran-san snaps the spoon into place.
　Lace-kun gives her a gentle smile and moves the spoon again.

''Hmm.''

Have fun, kids!

　Mr. Gallo.

'Yeah, that's a good one. All this noise, it reminds me of home.

Home?　Oh, you're with the Altreat Sun.

　Wraith-kun's father, [Indomitable Brave Man] Altrito-san, used to instruct those who wanted to at his house's training hall. Maybe eating with a large group of people is something Lace-kun is used to.

''You know?''

'The ones who trained over there are strong, you know. But right now it's more than that, you little white guy over there!

　You must mean Fran.

?

Your right hand is cool, but you seem to have trouble eating things.

Hm. But I'll be fine with Wraith.

Oh, love!

Mr. Gallo, what are you doing here?

　Wraith-kun looks up at Garo-san as he glares at her slightly. His cheeks are red, is he embarrassed or is he just on fire?

'That's right, it would be fun to have Wraith eat you!　But every now and then, you just want to eat something, don't you?　It's all in your own time!

Nothing.

'Yes!　I know you want to eat!

"Don't say what you want to say.... But the truth is, I'm sure Fran wishes she could handle herself.

"...with Wraith.

I know you've been practicing secretly, breaking dishes.

　Lace-kun said, and Fran-san looked away.

''Well that was too fragile of a dish.''

'If eating normal food is a challenge, how do you think you can eat it?　So that's it!

　Mr. Gallo snaps his fingers and the waiters that Mr. Blau hired for this occasion come in.
　On an oversized plate was an oversized piece of meat on the bone.

'You could grab a handful of this!　I guarantee it's cooked all the way through!

　Not only the two of them, but also the people around them who were watching to see what was going on were pouting.
　Eventually - Wraith-kun laughed.

''Phew, haha, what's this!　

I suggested it, my brother arranged it, the chef cooked it!

'Oh, I laughed, I laughed.... 'How about Fran?　If you don't like it, just take it.

I don't mind it.

　Mr. Gallo wasn't joking, he was serious about preparing it.
　Even if he hadn't yet been involved, Fran-san must have been able to tell that.

'I'll take it.'

Oh!

Thank you for this.

　Fran grabs the bone part with her right arm. The meat is as thick as a tree trunk and as big as a little rock.
　The surface is moderately cooked and juices are dripping from the meat.

　If Garo-san says so, it must be cooked all the way through even at this size.

Ah, mmm.

　Fran opened her small mouth to the limit and took a bite of the meat.
　Munching and chewing, her cheeks pumping, she squirmed and chewed.

'How's that?'

　Goku. After swallowing, she replied.

''It's ... delicious.''

Yo!

　Mr. Gallo was pleased as if it was his own affair.

'I'll make you some extra sturdy tableware. I'll make you some extra sturdy tableware, and you can have an unbreakable fork or something to help you with that.

　Wraith-kun responded to his words.

'We tried that a few times in our house, but it didn't work out so well.

You can ask the dwarves.

Made by dwarves, that's true. But I hear it's not very easy to find.

　While they were talking about it, half of the meat had disappeared into Fran's stomach.

''That's a hell of a good meal, kid, you should be. Garo!　Give me the same one as this one!

　Dragon King] It's Mr. Volak.

Oh, boy.

　More of the same bone-in meat is brought in.

'Cyclops girl!'

Fluffy...!

　Melania, who was sitting on her knees and looking at the fire with a peaceful expression on her face, freaked out.

How about you?　I've got the dishes and all the other stuff ready to go, just in case.

Oh, uh, that's...

'Oh!　I knew you'd say that.

　You can eat the same thing, but not often the same size.
　It's rare to get this kind of opportunity with a group of friends from different species.

　Melania-san crawls closer, her cheeks relaxed somewhat happily.

''Reme-san and Jos too!　We won't be able to grab a handful, but the three of us will share the food.

　Joss was talking to a lot of people, as if he was curious, and I was circling around to see how I was doing.

'Oh, shall we?'

　I nod back to the smiling leader.

　I'm at a wraith party now.
　It's good to get together with my friends and have dinner.

"Huh, Leme. Why don't you have a few more drinks?

　Mr. Volak's eyes sparkled.

'Drunkenness won't give you any information about Lord Fulkas.

　For obvious purposes, I chuckle.

"Ha-ha, you don't know until you try, do you?

"Lord Leme, I would like to ask you about your black magic and your ability to read the battlefield.

　[Balance of Justice] I came to Astraea-san.
　Fidgeting, the four knights are also following behind her.

''Well then, let's call the Fenix Party as well. Can we do that while we eat?

Yeah, no problem. I appreciate it.

'Oh?　Leme talks about me and Foo.

I'll have another.

　Fran-san held up the ex-boned meat that had been turned into a bone pole and demanded more.

''It's amazing.......even a demon can't be this quick.......no, Lord Fulkas was this quick.......''　

　Joss-kun, who joined us a little later, muttered.
　Volak-san's ears seem to have caught that as well.

''Ah!　You know about the pooch, too?

Oh, no, I don't have a relationship with--

Tell me more!　Scrubbed out!　You're an ogre!　No way....you can't be...you can't be...a poofter--

No, no, no!

'Oh!　Isn't there something charming about a puff of smoke?

What...?

　It's a noisy but fun time that passes.
　And it's not over yet.
