Anna and Phong had been busy helping in the canteen recently, so they hadn't had time to visit the farm.
Because there were no adult beastmen to supervise, the warriors couldn't conveniently bring large magical beasts back to raise, as a single slip-up could destroy the entire farm.
Adult magical beasts had very strong destructive power, while cubs were too rare. Eric regretted deeply not bringing back the litter of spine piglet they found that year for the tribe to raise.
But at that time, the tribe was too poor, and winter was approaching. There wasn't even enough food for the tribesmen, let alone a spine pig that could grow to the size of a truck; the amount of food they consumed in the process was immeasurable.
There were too few people in the tribe who knew how to cook. Now that Anna and Phong were both working in the canteen, Eric had to find someone else to manage the farm.
