Chapter 292.1. In Those Eyes

-??? Tamamo’s POV-

“We’ve earned enough tonight. It’s ti for a feast!”

“Ohhh!”

As the sky grew dark and the night’s curtain descended, Tamamo cheerfully exclaid and took a bite of the grilled at.

Everyone else joined in, devouring the at with gusto.

Tamamo and her crew, who had made a ruined building their base, were having a barbecue, grilling a large quantity of Uriuribo at.

But it was a simple barbecue, just roasting at on sticks over an open fire—no vegetables or anything else.

Still, everyone seed delighted.

“It’s delicious!”

“First at in a long ti~”

“So yummy, so yummy.”

They all praised the taste, and watching the children, who still had innocent smiles as they ate, made Tamamo feel a little lancholic. These children were abandoned at a young age. They didn’t know what delicious or even ordinary food tasted like.

They were unaware that the Uriuribo at they were currently eating was poor people’s at, and they didn’t understand how tough and unappetizing it was due to its tough and gay nature.

Tamamo had known the taste of real food until soone killed her family. That was a misfortune in her current circumstances. There were monts when she felt heartache watching the children, who smiled and found the at delicious despite not knowing the real food’s taste.

What about the newcor, Takano Miu? For a young girl who claid to love hamburgers, this at wasn’t sothing she could eat that easily. Worried that she might start crying, I searched for her.

But I witnessed a surprising scene.

“So sweet. It’s delicious!”

“Huh?”

To everyone’s astonishnt, Miu bit into the at and exclaid, “Sweet.”.

The at got charred from being roasted over an open fire, had many burnt parts, and hadn’t been properly prepared. So it had a strong and gay sll.

Moreover, it was tough and hard due to its muscular texture.

Yet, sweet? What was she talking about?

And furthermore.

“Mii-chan can eat lots of sweet food!”

The at was tough. But Takano Miu effortlessly tore it apart as if it were tender. It was a shocking sight. How could such a small girl eat this at so easily?

Takano Miu was eating the at in bliss and made everyone surprised.

Moreover, what about the bones?

The ats should have a lot of bones. But she didn’t spit it at all.

“There is no way, Takano Miu, you’re eating the bones?”

“Bones?”

Eating the at, she peered at the white bones. They were nowhere near small enough to be bitten through, but to everyone’s amazent, Takano Miu bit into the bone with a curious expression, and strangely enough, she snapped the bone.

It didn’t make the crunching sound of shattering bones but more like she was biting into a cookie.

She finished one piece and reached for the next Uriuribo.

“Wait, wait, huh? How can you eat the bones? And sweet? Are you sure you’re not mistaking it for sothing bitter?”

“It’s sweet. Besides, what’s a bone? Isn’t this cotton candy?”

“Huh? It’s obviously at from every angle you look at it. How can it be cotton candy?”

I continued to ask her because I was even more confused by Takano Miu’s unexpected response.

“Nooo, it’s not at! It’s cotton candy. Right, Bunny-san?”

She turned to the child standing next to her, asking for confirmation. Of course, the child had no choice but to look at her with a puzzled expression since it was obviously at from any angle we looked at it.

Honestly, I wished she wouldn’t seek help from the others.

And there was sothing else bothering .

“Why do you all call everyone bunny-sans? We introduced ourselves, didn’t we?”

“??? Because they’re bunny-sans. Fox-san.”

Takano Miu looked genuinely puzzled. She couldn’t understand the aning.

“That’s like saying we’re all stuffed animals. My na is Aburage Tamamo. I’m Tamamo, got it?”

I bent down to eye level and tried to confirm it to Takano Miu, but she just tilted her head to the side.

“…Is this the world of stuffed animals? Fox-san is fox-san, right?”

Her ice-blue eyes sparkled in the dim light of the campfire. And what she saw in those eyes.

“Huh? What? No way! I’m human!”

I forced a smile, her face contorting, and stepped back, trembling.

It must have been a mistake. Yes, it must have been a mistake.

What Takano Miu saw in her eyes. No, that couldn’t be.

Ignoring my agitation, Takano Miu continued to bite into the at roasting by the campfire.

She even ate the bones and steadily reduced the number of Uriuribo with just a few bites.
