“Woah! What is this?”

It was about five minutes after they started.

They started to shout as if something very unexpected had happened.

 

“Ahh! Gross!”

When she went to look, she saw that from behind the removed planks of wood, green vines were wiggling around.

Not only that, but they were densely packed and created a wall of their own.

 

“Ah, this is the group leader’s work.”

“Oh, these are some fine looking watermelon vines.”

According to the villagers, these green vines were from watermelons.

No, such watermelons should not even exist… The people thought. But those who knew Qudels just said, ‘this again.’

You would not survive near Qudels if you were shocked this easily.

 

“What should we do? We won’t be able to get inside even if we break down the walls.”

“We have no choice then. We’ll just have to wait.”

“They’ll come out when they become hungry.”

“But won’t he just make vegetables in there? He’s probably going to eat the watermelons.”

“Ah…”

The group members and villagers talked like this for a while, and then it suddenly became very loud again.

 

Moral watched over them curiously. They had started to make a fire.

—Surely, they didn’t mean to burn the vines!?

While Moral was shocked at this outrageous plan, the women of the village could be seen carrying something as they marched towards the shack.

 

What…what were they going to do?

And then, an appetizing smell started to waft around in the wind.

Was this…a barbecue!?

Not only that, but she saw that they were bringing out drinks and having a party.

 

—So, they weren’t attacking with fire. They were attacking with a barbecue!?

Indeed, while you could make vegetables and fruits through controlling plants, meat was a different matter.

There was something to be said about the unique way that it encouraged an appetite.

It seemed like a silly strategy indeed. But it was also cruel in a way.

 

Ah, but was this not a most delicious kind of ‘greed’?

Drink, meat, the sounds of partying… It was a marvelously sweet and stimulating emotion.

 

Moral was about to start drinking on these emotions from the villagers, but she managed to restrain herself.

They meant to lure out the old man and muscle god with this party. And so she could not get in their way.

 

After a while, the sounds growling stomachs could be heard from the shed.
