Chapter 151.1. Christmas Present!


The party begins, and Mii-chan greets everyone with her papa. Mama had to leave as she didn't want to push herself too hard and worsen her condition. 

First, Mii-chan greets her friends whom she invited.

"Tamamo-chan, Tamamo-chan's papa, mama, Haru-kun, welcome! Did you all have the roast beef?"

Mii-chan spots Tamamo-chan, who looks adorable in her kimono with her golden hair tied in a side ponytail. Today, she's not in her fox-kin form and has a little fox named Kon-chan sitting on her head.

Since the roast beef looks incredibly delicious, I suggest we'd eat it together.

Mii-chan has become quite a strategist. She's sure Tamamo-chan hasn't eaten it yet, so she expects her to respond with, let's go now.

Mii-chan sets her plot in motion with a mischievous smile, displaying her strategic mind.

"Yeah, I've already had it. The roast beef from Hornbear Cow was so thick and delicious. It was like this."

"Kon kon kon!"

"Gah!"

Tamamo-chan responds excitedly, spreading her hands to demonstrate the thickness of the meat. Kon-chan on her head, lets out a small sound, as if saying it was delicious.

Eh, you already ate it? Ugh, my perfect plan has crumbled. Mii-chan sighs, shoulders slumping in disappointment. I wanted to try that mysterious meat. Whether it was from a bear or a cow.

"Thank you for the invitation, Takano-san. We're enjoying the party as a family."

"Please enjoy yourselves. We have many unique dishes here."

"Yes, thank you. Starting next year, we'll also begin developing magical tools using Sacred Flowers and Magic Flowers Cosmos. I hope we can continue our long relationship."

Papa and Tamamo's papa shake hands with smiles, showcasing their close friendship. In reality, they do get along very well.

That's a way for them to showcase their relationship to those around them. The Aburage family, who shares the market for magic tools, and Takano County, who invest in Urhalla and hold shares in the transportation industry, have joined forces.

People around them listen intently to the conversation between the papas, as if they were beasts with their ears perked up. Perhaps they are like elephants among the beasts?

There is a reason we teamed up with the Aburage family. We developed a simple Antidote Barrier by combining sacred, and magic flowers, but we discovered a significant flaw.

And what is that flaw, you ask?

It turns out that the magical tools made by the Druids had inconsistent quality. 

They made it originally intended for personal use, so they were unsuitable for mass production. It's like selling mama's homemade cookies on a large scale in the market because they're reputed to be delicious.

Grandpa Odin is steadily accumulating knowledge of this world and has begun developing production methods that don't rely on game mechanics. However, he has no interest in mass-production technology. So he has no know-how in that area.

By the way, Grandpa Odin can't create these tools; he can only design them. I must say, he truly lives up to his reputation as the Magic God.

So we joined forces with the Aburage family, who possess the mass production know-how of magic tools. That also prevents envy from monopolies and allows us to increase our allies, killing two birds with one stone.

Still, it may seem like a purely profit-driven partnership, and I don't like this arrangement. Just as I thought of that, Tamamo-chan smiled mischievously and said with a grin.

"Hey, hey, En-chan. Tamamo brought a present. Here you go!"

[Leaf Transformation]

She suddenly threw a leaf she had in her hand into the air. With a puff of smoke, the leaf transformed into Kon-chan.

"Wow! Transformation art?"

"Yeah, I had pre-transformed the present into a leaf. Kon-kon!"

"I didn't expect you to use it in reverse. That's amazing, Tamamo-chan!"

I never thought about using the art of transforming other objects into leaves. I see, so the opposite is possible too.

"Hehe~. This is the present! Tamamo made it."

Bashfully, Tamamo handed me the Kon-chan stuffed toy that had transformed from the leaf. Upon closer inspection, it looked exactly like Kon-chan.

It was impossible to tell the difference. The quality is amazing. Tamamo-chan made this? She's still a child, yet she's so talented. Truly befitting of the Aburage family, the authority in magical tools.

When I touch it gently, it has a pleasant and smooth sensation, like silky fabric. Yay! Mii-chan's stuffed animal collection has grown again.

Handmade stuffed animals by friends are rarer than the Philosopher's Stone. Holding the stuffed animal in my hand, I smile from ear to ear.

"Thank you, Tamamo-chan. I'll treasure it!"

"Hehe~ It would've been nice if Yamiyo-chan could come too."

Blushing cheeks, Tamamo happily wags her side tail like a tail and laughs. But she also looks lonely, saying it's a shame that Yamiyo-chan couldn't come.

"Teijou Marquisate is also having a party. So we can do nothing."

The 36 noble families in the Japanese Magical Empire, each host their own Christmas parties, inviting the families they have good relations with.

That's why it was impossible for Yamiyo, who had completed her coming-of-age ceremony, to attend our Christmas party. That's what I dislike about nobility.

"I'll give something to Yamiyo-chan later, but I also have a present for Tamamo-chan from me! Ta-da!"

Hey, when I shake hands with Ranko-san, she gracefully follows behind and hands me a ribbon-decorated box.

Taking it, I hand it over to Tamamo and say, "Here you go." I also gave one to Haru-kun.

"Yay, thank you! Can I open it?"

"Thank you, Miu-oneechan!"

"Sure, go ahead!"

Tamamo neatly unwraps the packaging and eagerly opens the box. Haru, on the other hand, holds it without opening it, revealing something about his personality.

"Wow! Flower-shaped cookies?"

"Yes! These are cookies made with the Divine Flower I received the other day. I made them myself!"

As Tamamo turns her delighted face toward the petal-shaped cookies lined up in the box, I proudly puff out my chest.
