Chapter 55.1. It’s 10 Year Old’s Debut Party!

Miu was confronted with a scene that made her think this was the Heian period revived in the present day. No, no. It might have been the great cherry blossom viewing party held by Toyotomi Hideyoshi. That’s how impressed I was with the scene spread out before me.

It was a magnificent sight. I had never seen anything like it before, including in my previous life, and I had never seen anything like it on TV or in anime.

After passing through the gate, I found a vast park in front of me. On the well-groomed lawn were rows of magically protected cherry trees, their petals fluttering in the air. Under the cherry blossoms, many tables are set up with many dishes.

From roast beef to crackers and salads with bite-sized pieces of salmon and other ingredients, to cocktail glasses filled with fish mousse, caviar, shrimp, and other delicacies. At the table with the cook, steaks were grilled, and the chef was taking sushi orders.

Of course, there were desserts, too, with chocolate fondue flowing like a fountain, beautiful cakes like works of art, ice cream, dumplings, and more.

There is no such thing as a dish that is not available here. There was such a wide variety of food that it seemed as if there was nothing that we couldn’t find there. The maids would quickly replenish the food before it ran out.

There seemed to be plenty of beverages available, with some maids carrying glasses of wine on silver trays, and a simple bar, complete with sake and other drinks.

I was a bit naive in my expectations. This castle is huge. Or rather, too large. This garden alone is the size of Hibiya Park in my previous life.

Of course, there are many people. Nobles and influential commoners come here with their families, so there must be 10,000 people.

I have never seen such a gorgeous and spectacular hanami festival. Even Toyotomi Hideyoshi’s cherry blossom viewing festival lose to this one. Oh, it was not a hanami. It was an unveiling.

The gray-haired girl, her eyes sparkling with excitement, spins around and exclaims in surprise.

“Huh, Papa, is this the unveiling hall?”

“That’s right. If you go to the back, you’ll find a balcony, where His Majesty the Emperor will say hello, and that’s it. After that, all you have to do is enjoy the food and deepen your friendship.”

My dad nodded and explained with a gentle smile, looking at the surprised Miu. What a simple unveiling party. Indeed, the castle is present in the distance, and the balcony is visible.

“I thought they’ll do the unveiling in a party hall!”

“Other countries do, but not Japan. The Emperor has valued interaction with many people for generations, and he doesn’t think there’s any need for formalities.”

I see. It’s true that in the original story, the scene was in the garden. I thought it would be strange to have a garden at the party, and it’d be different from this party, but it seems I was right. I’m glad I rented a Munin just in case. I never imagined we’d be having the unveiling party outside.

“The sons and daughters of the 36 families are going to the balcony to greet the Emperor. So, please wait a little while, Mii-sama.”

With a disappointed look, Yamiyo said, but I see, it’s too hard to say hello on the balcony with this many people. I would say no, thank you.

“In the meantime, Tamamo-chan and I are going on a culinary tour. Let’s go around.

“Yeah, around and around!”

I held hands with Tamamo, and we went around. The garden is so vast that we will never hit anything even if we do that. The hem of Tamamo’s kimono spreads, Miu’s skirt flutters, and the two beautiful girls spin around happily, making the people around them smile and smile.

“I’ll be back to finish greeting you soon!”

Muffled, her cheeks puffed out like a blowfish, and Yamiya dashed ahead, probably to the direction of the balcony. She must be strengthening her body. She is frighteningly fast. She looks like a black panther, even though she’s wearing high heels, even if they are for children. Be careful not to hit anyone else. Yamiyo’s mother smiled and followed Yamiyo away.

“We have about half an hour before the Emperor announces the opening ceremony for the first day of the new year’s clothes. What do you want to eat, Mii-chan?”

“Mmmm. I’m looking forward to the feast when we back, so I’ll eat something light!”

I’m looking forward to our feast more than the spread food in the garden. Especially the cakes, I’d give them seven stars, which is more than a three-star cake. I think it’s worth calling it a divine dragon.

So I choose caviar, foie gras, salmon roe, and something mousse-like. I’m going to eat expensive food that I’ve never eaten before. I have to be careful not to be too full.

“Come on, Tamamo, let’s go.”

“Oh, let’s go, let’s go!”

Holding hands with Tamamo, we trotted to the table where lined food. I think I’ll stop with the caviar after all. That’s a delicacy? I don’t like it. It’s just too salty.

Tamamo wants steak, so we both eat half a piece each. Seriously, this meat is too tender! It melted in my mouth. Milkhorn Bear Cow meat? I’d like to see this monster once.

My parents watched us as we ate our meal together. For some reason, a lot of people gather around my parents, and kids my age want to be my friend.

I’m very happy.

Why am I so happy?

“Let’s share the food!”

We’re going to eat all kinds of food! It’s a buffet, but the steaks and other dishes are smaller than normal. I was too full.

So, Mii-chan’s very careful sharing the food with her new friends. The new friends were somewhat surprised, but it was a good idea. Let’s divide that chocolate mousse into six equal portions.

The new friends were surprised and puzzled, but soon their mouths turned into smiles as they enjoyed the food.

“Captain, I divided the foie gras terrine into small portions!”

“Yes, pass them out to everyone!”

“I can’t get the strawberry tart to divide well!”

“Leave it to me! I’ll fight! I’ll fight!

“I got lots of ice cream!”

“Eat any kind you want! I’ll have chocolate ice cream!”

Everyone was united in their efforts to conquer all kinds of ice cream, eating their food with smiles, as if they were having a lot of fun. The atmosphere was harmonious.

A trumpet sounded, and a mature man stood on the balcony in the back of the room.
