It is similarly delicious! All the food here is extremely good. Naomi savors it. 

"You're a strange one, if you don't mind me speaking my mind, miss." The innkeeper eats his own breakfast over by his desk.

"I don't get to have real food that often!"

"Real food? As opposed to, what, imaginary food?"

"As opposed to -- imagine if someone took some other food that didn't really taste like rice, but could be made to sort of taste like it. Then they made it have sort of the right texture, but not quite. Then they added extra flavoring. That's what I normally eat. It's nutritious, but it's not as tasty as the real thing."

He nods. "Food is more than just fuel for the body. It centers you for the day, it's one of the world's greatest pleasures. Eating food solely to get nutrition sounds depressing."

"Yeah. I'm glad it works differently here."

After Naomi finishes her food she goes outside.

The village is much the same, aside from looking sleepier. A chicken-or-something looks at her and then decides she is of no interest. The only other person out this early is a different guard than last night walking down the street with his spear.

So, she needs to get started on plan hack-a-Guardian. But that's best done in a bed, since she'll look like she's unconscious to any outside observer. Instead, today she'll spend some time exploring, picking flowers, and finding other things that people find useful.

She walks into the general store. 

That middle-aged woman is there, sweeping the floor. "Hello again, dearie."

"Hello! I was wondering what kinds of flowers or other things you wanted more of? I'm planning to go out collecting today, for some more money."

"Oh dear, you'd better be careful out there, miss. It's hard to sum up... Most plants that aren't grass or trees or bushes have some magical value.  Mushrooms and insects and frogs and things, as well, or monster parts if you manage to kill any of the wretched things."

"I'll be very cautious around the monsters, don't worry. Are you saying I should get a variety of things? Which things are most shelf-stable?"

"I can't sum it up, miss. I don't even know where to start. You'll just need to go out and try your best and get used to this place's flora."

"Okay. Have a good day!" She exits the shop, waving. 

"You too, miss."

If she's hungry, she still has the balls of rice with filling Paya wrapped up for her yesterday. They kept fairly well, but it's not as good as fresh. Kind of sticky. And cold.

And more familiar, since this is usually how she ends up eating back home. Yum.

She leaves the village, scavenging for anything she can find and reasonably carry, keeping a lookout for monsters.

There's a fairly long stretch of canyon without much of anything interesting in it (bunches of purple mushrooms from about five to twenty feet up the cliff face here and there), and then the path widens and softens until she's not in a sharp canyon but a narrow valley, still leading up. There are wild horses right there, eating the grass.

When she reaches the top of a little ridge, the land falls away. It's a great view of the surrounding countryside. The volcano to the far north, A wide, marshy-looking swampland a bit closer, grassy fields and patches of woods to the west until what looks like a grand castle in the distance. (Dark, magical-looking currents swarm around it.) Further south it gets increasingly hilly and craggy, until a rising path that she could continue up a mountain with.

There's a traveler walking down this long slope towards the swampy area ahead of her.

"Hello!" She greets the traveler.

"Ho, fellow traveler. So much to worry about these days, eh? I'm taking this route to avoid the Dueling Peaks passage."

"There really is! What are you most worried about? Since, you know, you're coming from a different direction than me and all."

"They're closing down the safe pass in the Dueling Peaks early this year. Next blood moon, they won't clear it of monsters again 'till spring. Not enough knights left, I hear."

"Oh, that's a pity. What's near there? So I can know to avoid it."

"It's the other way out of the Necluda region. Unless you want to try your luck with the sea." He points at the up-mountain path. "You can barely see an old Sheikah shrine from here. The mountain it's on is the northern Dueling Peak."

She memorizes the information and plans to record it in her deck's burgeoning map of this place. "Thanks! Safe travels."
