Chapter 168.3. New Year’s Day

-Miu’s POV-

I picked up the Ise lobster from its golden shell with my chopsticks and examined it closely. It’s a plump lobster, and its appearance is no different from a regular Ise Lobster.

Or rather, why is there an Ise Lobster in the pre-prepared osechi? It’s warm when it’s supposed to be warm and cold when it’s supposed to be cold. This bento box must be a magical tool.

Since the seasoning is already done, I put a small piece in my mouth, and savor it.

“Wow! It’s delicious! It’s plump, but it easily tears apart when I bite it! The flavor is not bland. It has a deep taste!”

It lives up to its na as the Golden Ise Lobster. I couldn’t help but stand up and enthusiastically declare it while clenching my fist. Co to think of it, I’ve only had Ise Lobster a few tis in my previous life, so I don’t rember the taste.

Ise Lobster is delicious. It’s probably better not to ask how much these Golden Ise Lobsters cost.

Thinking the other dishes must be delicious, I quickly move my chopsticks and eagerly devour them.

The kelp is fluffy, and the sweet chestnut paste has a natural sweetness that belies its appearance. My mouth glows after eating the kazunoko.

“Hmm… I should let Miu eat sothing better. We have a party coming up, you know. Make sure she doesn’t get too engrossed in the food then.”

“Sa as always, huh? I’ll be more careful.”

With a sigh, Papa, and a wry smile from Mama, I’m impressed by the genuine noble’s thinking way. While eating, an ergency news report interrupts the TV that was left on.

[This is the Imperial Capital Port. Can you see this? The scene shown by the cara is not plain. It was a warehouse district until yesterday!]

The announcer was aboard a helicopter, and waves to the ground in front of the cara with a serious expression.

[Did monsters appear? We’ve received information about a loud noise could be heard on New Year’s Eve! It disappeared overnight!]

About 30% of the warehouse district is now a clean vacant lot. Although there is snow piled up, there are no irregularities or debris.

“That warehouse district… Yoshiyuki! Check the situation!”

“Yes, right. Sorry, Mirei, Mii-chan. I’ll be going out for a mont.”

They both beco serious and hurriedly leave the living room.

“On New Year’s Day…”

Mii-chan pouts and puffs her cheeks, and Mama pets her head to comfort her.

“Papa is busy, so it’s just the two of us. Shall we continue eating the osechi? He’ll be back in ti for the first shrine visit.”

“Okay.”

Until then, let’s continue eating the osechi.

I can’t believe the warehouse district disappeared. Sothing must have happened. Maybe a monster appeared for sure.

Mii-chan doesn’t know. It was probably just a dream. She doesn’t know anything. So, make sure to claim damages from the monster.
