Supremacy Games

At midnight, Felix and his companions went to the plaza to join the welcoming village party.

It was a lively and boisterous event, full of merriment and revelry. The air was filled with laughter, clinking glasses, and the twang of lutes and other musical instruments. Torches and lanterns lit up the cobblestone streets, casting flickering shadows on the buildings and the faces of the merrymakers.

In the plaza's center, a grand feast was laid out on long tables, surrounded by benches for the guests and villagers to sit on.

The villagers dressed in their finest attire, their clothing a colorful tapestry of greens, blues, and golds, gathered around the tables to enjoy the food and drink bestowed upon them by their guests.

Although the villagers knew that Felix and his companions had their own food stored, they still kept offering them their own shares throughout the feast.

Olivia and Selphie ended up crumbling to the villagers' persistence and ate with them.

While Bodidi was shameless enough to keep filling his stomach with anything his antennas had locked on, forcing Felix to smack him in the head to discipline him.

While the villagers were eating their food, Felix couldn't help but feel a bit weirded out as the sight was quite bizarre.

Whether the villagers were in their ghosts or actual form, they keep eating the food just like anyone else...Chewing it and then swallowing it, making it disappear into the ether instantly.

'I don't get it, why don't they just taste the food instead of eating whole?' Asna tilted her head in confusion at the sight as well.

She felt that the food would be kept for a long time if they simply enjoyed the taste instead of actually eating it.

It might not seem obvious, but she understood that the moment the food was swallowed, they literally use their consciousness prowess to erase it from existence...Willingly!

This just seemed like a waste for a resource that was extremely treasured in their eyes.

'Indeed, the smartest decision is to taste the food and keep it intact, but those Elementals understood that the joy of food isn't just the taste but the whole process.' Lady Sphinx answered her, 'In their eyes, it's meaningless to imitate the tasting puds and leave the rest. Plus, this way makes them treasure the taste of the food much more, which is their original purpose.'

'You're right.'

'The only desire that brings them happiness was food and they knew that if they have too much of it on daily basis, it would lose all meaning.'

Felix and Asna nodded in understanding at her explanation.
