Mob Protagonist ~ Mob in the Novel But There is a Problem

Chapter 151.2

Chapter 151.2. Christmas Present!

After finishing the Gerer battle, I secretly searched the remains of Gerer’s botanical garden to see if I could find any treasure chests. That’s where I found this flower. It’s a flower that repels monsters and blooms at save points. In the game, I could use it for alchemy and cooking, but I used it for cooking.

That’s how I made the Divine Flower Cookies.

“Can I try some?”

“Yes, try them!”

With shining eyes and a nod of confidence, I watch Tamamo takes a bite of the cookie.

She munches on it, her eyes widening in surprise, and quickly finishes eating it.

“It’s delicious! What is this? It melts in my mouth like cotton candy. After the crispy texture, it just disappears!”

Tamamo happily shakes her side tail up and down, expressing her joy at tasting a flavor she has never experienced before. Kon-chan sways her body on top of Tamamo’s head in response. Mii-chan also wears a smile, glad that the gift brought happiness.

And then, for a moment, Tamamo’s body faintly glows.

“Huh? My body just glowed for a moment!”

“Yeah! Your magic resistance has increased a little!”

Eating the Divine Flower Cookie grants an effect.

-Divine Flower Cookie: Level 50. Reduces magical damage by 3% for half a day when consumed.-

Well, it’s just a placebo effect. I had another reason for making these cookies: the flavor text. It said:

.

-Divine Flower Cookie: A cookie that can be made by a skilled cook. It’s so delicious that you’ll devour it in an instant.-

It stated that it was incredibly delicious. I believe what was written in the flavor text. It truly is a delicious cookie.

Since I didn’t taste it, I don’t know about the flavor.

But it says if I taste it, I’ll eat it all. Besides, when something is made in cooking, it always turns out well, so there’s no problem even without tasting it.

Even if I give them to my friends, they will eat them, so there is no problem with the game specifications.

“This is delicious. So crunchy!”

With lightning speed, Tamamo-chan eats the cookies and each time her body sparkles brightly.

It’s Christmas. It’s okay for her to shine like the lights on the Christmas tree. So, everyone doesn’t need to pay attention. Isn’t Tamamo-chan getting a little too absorbed in eating?

“It’s like a cloud! It melts in my mouth, but I can taste the finest honey on my tongue! The aroma of the cookie is clear!”

The gourmet Tamamo puts a piece of the cookie on her lips and finishes all 24 cookies in just a few minutes.

I see. The flavor text is correct. It’s the kind of deliciousness you can’t resist eating from the moment it’s made… I see.

It’s made Tamamo slightly sweating, but it’s good for the body, so it’s okay. It’s even possible that these cookies have zero calories.

“Mii-chan… When did you make something like this?”

Amidst the commotion, papa asks Mii-chan with a stern gaze.

“Well~ I got the recipe from the grandpa who runs the oden shop that got popular again when it got cold. I thought cookies would be better than oden for Christmas. It’s an interesting effect suitable for Christmas. Ranko-san was there when I made them.”

“Yes, the young lady prepared them very skillfully. She also used divine flowers as a luxury ingredient, so there shouldn’t be any problems. I believe.”

Gripping her small fist tightly, the beautiful girl reassures that there are no problems. With Ranko-san backing her up, I feel relieved.

I can only blame the magical effect on grandpa’s recipe. Mii-chan isn’t at fault. She just made them based on the flavor text. She made them because it said they were delicious. I should have tasted them.

“Did you sneak out again at night… Didn’t I tell you not to?”

“Freki was my escort, so it’s fine!”

“Introduce me to that grandpa from the oden shop later, okay?”

“He’s a shy person, so I received a letter! Let’s read it together later!”

That’s true. I have prepared a letter from Odin, considering the future. Well, Frigg-oneesan wrote it though.

“Then, hear papa’s words… By the way, is this all the candy in the bag?”

“Yes! I plan to give people a box of 12 cookies!”

“Confiscated.”

“Aww!”

Even though I put effort into making them. I just followed the knowledge of Chef III.

“Well, well, Takano-san. Divine flowers are said to be good for the body, and it seems that Miu-chan got too carried away and infused with mana. Occasionally, such things happen.”

Based on past experiences, Tamamo’s papa provides some reassurance.

“Ummm …… but well.”

“Hmm… But the way they’re glowing now is quite divine. It’s suitable for Christmas, don’t you think?”

“Yes, you’re right. From now on, make sure to report properly, okay?”

“Yes, sir.”

I may have been a little thoughtless. I’m sorry.

Mii-chan knows it’s safe because it’s my game specification, but others don’t know. Mii-chan reflects on her actions.

“It’s so noisy, isn’t it, Yoshiyuki.”

The conversation was getting noisy about the cookies, so to regain composure, I tried to continue chatting, but a hoarse voice of an old man interrupted.

“………! Welcome, father.”

“Ah, Merry Christmas, Yoshiyuki.”

Papa narrowed his eyes and showed a slight wariness. When he turned around, a grandpa stood up with a straight posture and sharp gaze. In other words, it was Miu’s grandpa, Takano Kazemichi.

Huh? Weren’t they on bad terms?
