It wasn't long before the cafeteria began to fill up, and the tables on either side of me were already occupied by students. The growing murmur of conversations, the metallic sound of clinking trays, and the distinct aroma of hot food permeated the air. It was already rush hour, and every table was occupied.
Just then, I saw Erwing approaching, along with Cynthia and Aziel, all with their trays in hand. They all seemed to be the same, with their carefree smiles. They were chatting among themselves.
"Hey, there it is!" Erwing said with his usual excited tone to see me.
"We had to run before the horned rabbit meat ran out," Erwing said in a serious tone, placing his tray on the table with a soft tap as he settled into the seat opposite me.
"Don't exaggerate," Cynthia commented, sitting next to Amelia.
Aziel, as always, remained expressionless.
