"Holy crap. Keep cooking! We are going to need to bring more food to room 008 in the exclusive hallway!" The head chef said as he looked at his subordinates.

"Chef! We are cooking as fast as we can! However, they just devour the food so quickly! Are you sure they are even eating the food at this rate?!" A subordinate cried out.

"It doesn't matter if they eat it or not! They are paying for it! And if they aren't eating it, the quicker they receive the orders. The quicker they'll leave anyway!" The head chef said as he placed a plate on the counter for it to be delivered.

"Yes, chef!" They all replied in unison.

"Now I just wonder who those people are... For them to eat this quickly, how is that even possible." The head chef muttered to himself as he cooked up another dish.

...

Inside room 008 of the exclusive hallway were 6 young teenagers and a kid that was eating. A kid that isn't a kid, but is a kid at the same time, who is actually not a kid since she is a young teenager as well.

"I need more! All those goblins made me so hungry for the first time... I can't believe that fighting goblins would be such a pain... After this, I need to go talk to the master of the Commerce Guild again... Otherwise, he'll keep on asking me when we'll get rid of the goblins without him knowing." Sam said as he devoured a plate.

"I also need to do it just in case he says that someone else killed the goblins instead of us. That wouldn't be nice if our credit was stolen by a random." Sam added.

"This food is delicious. It's nice to have something new after a while." Sylvie said as she was cutting a piece of steak that was marbling with juices.

"It really is, it's different compared to ours back at home." Ariana said as she was enjoying her dessert due to her already being full. Her stomach wasn't as nonexistent as the others anyway.

"This is so goooooood~" Maria said as she was having some nice, soft, and warm mashed potatoes.

"Mmm... It's so soft and warm... It just melts in my mouth..." Maria said as she continued to devour her plate.

"..." The entire group just stared at her in silence as they stopped their meal.

"What? What is it? Is there something on my face?" Maria asked when she realized everyone stopped eating and was staring at her weirdly.

"Did you have to make such weird noises and faces when you are eating?" Chad asked her.

"What do you mean by that? I am merely enjoying my food unlike you all who are just devouring their plates. Just because we can order more doesn't mean that we shouldn't eat it slowly." Maria said as she glared back at them.

"Yeah sure..." They all said as they looked away from her before continuing their meal.

"You all don't believe me is it!" Maria cried out as she looked at them.

"We all believe you, it's just... We can't stand the sounds and faces that you make when you are enjoying it... It's so... Erotic..." Sylvie said as she held her forehead.

"Oh, I am sorry that it's like that... What can I say? Eating is one of human's pleasures! Of course, it's going to look erotic as I enjoy it!" Maria said as she looked at Sylvie.

"Okay then... I'll just continue my meal here... Please enjoy it even more..." Sylvie said as she scooted further away from Maria.

...

"..." Maal laid on her bed as she looked around the room. She then got up and started to explore the house.

'Where is everybody...' She thought inside her head as she made her way over to the Adventurer's Guild.

"Maal! Good morning, what are you doing here?" The receptionist asked her.

"Where are they nya?" Maal asked her.

"... They didn't tell you?" The receptionist asked her back.

"Nya???" Maal said as she tilted her head cutely in confusion.

"They must've forgotten then... They went into a different country to explore the world a bit..." The receptionist said as she looked at her in pity.

"..." Maal after hearing that was stunned for a few seconds. However, after the stun was over, she turned around and walked back home. She then laid on her bed and drifted off to sleep again.

She'd rather plot about how to get her revenge after they were back. Rather than plot about it beforehand. As things never go according to plan.

...

"Did you all feel that?" Sylvie asked them all of a sudden.

"Yeah... Are the windows open or something? It is pretty dark outside after all... It could be the cold breeze from the night winds." Ariana said as she held her arms.

"No... The windows are closed so that shouldn't be the case..." Maria said as she looked around the room.

"I feel like something bad will happen to us." Elise said.

"What a coincidence, I also felt that something really bad will happen to us..." Lance said as he didn't want to eat his meal anymore.

"Oh no! Are we going to die? I don't want this! Are there ghosts somewhere!?" Chad cried out.

"Nom nom nom nom nom..." Sam just continued eating not minding whatever was happening.

"Aren't we just getting cursed behind our backs by somebody? Why are you all getting so superstituous?" Benji asked them all.

"Oh come on, who would talk badly about us behind our backs? There's no way someone would do that. Like who did we ever anger?" Maria said as she looked at him.

"No wait, there is a person that we did anger..." Sylvie said as she looked at the group.

"Who?" They all asked her at once excluding Sam.

"Maal..." Sylvie said as they all widened their eyes in surprise.

"We shouldn't have left her there... Now we're all going to die... Let's make the best out of this trip then..." Chad said.

"Agreed." They all said.
