Once he pocketed the map, Hazuki rushed back to his plate, still sitting on the road where he had left it.
He quickly shoved the last bits of roast meat into his mouth, chewing as fast as he could. He grabbed his mug of ale and downed it in one go, letting out a satisfied sigh.
Then, he stood up suddenly.
"Owner! Count!" he called out, signaling the stall seller to add up his meal.
The Halfling stall owner, a short and slightly round man with a thick mustache, gave him a blank stare.
"Huh? Are you crazy? You just asked for 20 copper worth of food. Of course, it's 20 copper."
Hazuki blinked. "Oops, my bad. Heheh…"
He reached into his pouch, pulled out a single silver coin, and handed it over.
The owner shook his head but still took the coin, counting out the change. "Here, 80 copper. Thanks for eating here."
Hazuki grinned and put the coins in his pocket.
"Alright, thanks, old man."
As he turned away, his fingers brushed against the hidden map in his pocket.
