147 Not Enough Calories At All

    The Trash in the concentration camp get one meal a day . .


    All these hobo-like gents would line up in the in the courtyard and await their share . On the menu today, we have hard bread and soup . .


    As I took my meal, I noticed the surrounding gazes locking on to me . .


    They''re thinking they''ll pick it off of me, the b.u.mbling newcomer . .


    They think they''re not making it obvious, but it''s really obvious . .


    .


    I mean, I have a good meal waiting for me courtesy of Mr . Zack, so I could just make like a mob and get it taken from me, but I''m just a little curious about this too . .


    Welp, whatever happens . .


    .


    I make a show of hiding my food by cradling it and quickly make my way away from the crowd . .


    Basically, I''m saying they can take it, but I''ll put up a fight . .


    .


    I managed to cross the courtyard without incident and made it to the spot of hallway Mr . Zack reserved for me . .


    "Alright, here goes nothing…".


    .


    I started with the soup . .


    It was garnished with vegetable sc.r.a.ps and just a few beans . Tasted… slightly salty . .


    Like, it was bad, but I could eat it . .


    The bread was also bad, kind of bitter too . The bigger pieces were sort of better . .


    Tolerable if you dipped it in the soup first . .


    In summary: Edible, but just bad . .


    The meal was utterly lacking in protein . The only source of protein would be these tiny beans . .


    And not enough calories at all . A paltry 500 Cals at most . .


    I couldn''t imagine this''d be enough to cover a day''s worth of energy . .


    No wonder they''re all skin and bones… I can understand the desire to steal . .


    .


    "Ho, newcomer . ".


    Two men approached as I was eating . .

    They were both thin and ragged, but their eyes still had a glint to them . .


    .


    "Do us a solid will ya?".


    "W-what do you want?".


    I made like a small, scared animal trying to defend itself . .


    "Nothing much, just hand over the food . ".


    .


    "Eh, um, but this is the only meal we get today…".


    "Shaddap and hand it over!".


    So the threats began . .


    "Hand over the food, and you don''t get hurt . Try anything and you''re still in for pain after we take your food . Get my logic? Now let''s just make it easy for all of us . ".


    "N-no, I…".


    "Tsk… f.u.c.ken r.e.t.a.r.d . ".


    One of them grabbed my collar and shoved me against the wall . .


    "He''ll get it after a punch or three . " He said and raised his fist . .


    .


    "You will stop . " Interrupted the voice of a girl . .


    "f.u.c.k off, bitc—!?".


    "Wait, that''s…".


    Standing there in the hallway, was a beautiful girl . She had on prisoner garb like the rest of us, and had pink blond hair . She kind of resembled someone . .


    .


    "Let him go, now . ".


    The two men relented to pink blondie staring them down . .


    "Tsk, we''re done here…".


    "Uh, yeah…".


    .


    My collar was released and the men scurried away . .


    "T-thanks so much . You are…".


    "It''s all right now . " The pink blond beauty smiled rea.s.suringly . .


    This camp had few female prisoners . Most of them were women prepared for the Doem Camp, but I had a feeling this girl here wasn''t one of those . .


    .


    "Food is quite scarce for everyone . You''d best eat your fill quickly . ".


    "Th-, yes…".


    .


    "You may speak to me if anything—".


    "Lady Clara, this boy was seen speaking to a man of the Doem Camp . ".


    A tough looking dude came up from behind pink blondie . He looked like he didn''t like me . .


    "Was he… but he surely didn''t know . ".


    "Be that as it may, we must tread with caution… . ".


    "… Of course . ".


    .


    "Um, I, uh, Zack just told me about a bunch of stuff and, so…".


    "That is fine . Um… this isn''t exactly the kindest place to be, so stay safe . ".


    The girl, along with the tough dude, then left . As he pa.s.sed me, the guy gave me another glare . .


    I made a show of being scared out of my wits and stayed like that until they were gone . .


    Then I muttered, "… Major player, right there . ".


    .


    Mr . Zack should be able to tell me who that is while I eat . .


    Her name was Clara huh, she really did remind me of… right, her . .


    She looked a lot like Miss Rose . Maybe she''s related to Oriana royalty?.
