Chapter 150.2. I’m Glad We Have Christmas
-Miu’s POV-
“It’s so cute, Mii-chan.”
“Truly, like a princess.”
“Hehe, thank you!”
Mama and papa, standing in front of the door, praised Mii-chan happily as they saw her.
I smiled shyly, walked between them, and held their hands. Mama’s belly becomes quite big, so I’m unsure if she could go down the stairs.
To ease my concerns, I cast a luck-boosting magic spell instead of a recovery spell to avoid potential side effects.
[Bless]
Silver particles resembling powder gently descended upon mama’s body. This holy magic is said to increase luck, critical hit rate, and item drop rate.
Although its effects are uncertain and difficult to verify, the strategy guide team mentioned it as a psychological reassurance.

“Well, it’s a magic spell that boosts luck. I cast it to ensure mama’s well-being!”
“Oh, thank you, Mii-chan. You’re so kind.”
“Hehe~”
Praised by her parents, Mii-chan happily squirmed her petite body. Alright, she decided to cast this spell every day until childbirth.
Papa watched Mii-chan with an amused smile but then became serious.
“Okay, let’s go.”
“Yes, you too.”
“Yes!”
And thus, as the announcer from beyond the door declared, “Takano County’s entrance,” the large doors slowly opened. Though tempted to comment like, “Are the bride and groom entering?” I resisted the urge.
The party venue was brighter than the waiting room, and I had to squint my eyes. I tightly held mama and papa’s hands, sensing their nervousness.
Golden chandeliers adorned with enchanted gemstones emitting Radiance Magic illuminated the entire hall.
Plush carpets were spread on the floor, and tables lined the walls, featuring a variety of dishes from Japanese, Western, and Chinese cuisines, each with dedicated chefs and sushi chefs in attendance.
There were warm dishes finished on the spot by the chefs and served to the guests. A thick slice of roast beef looked incredibly delicious. I already decided on my first destination.
The sushi chefs were preparing sushi by taking the ingredients out of the case, and the aroma of steamed Chinese cuisine filled the air. The desserts included elaborately crafted cakes that looked like works of art, with ice cream, donuts, manju, and monaka, making it challenging for me to try them all.
The waiters were busy carrying drinks on silver trays and clearing small plates from the tables.
There was a dazzling and luxurious party venue that was so captivating. I wonder if this falls under the category of a home party.
However, the reason why mama and papa were nervous wasn’t because of the extravagant cuisine or the interior design.
It was because our many guests, young and old, had come to see Mii-chan and the others.
If it were only friendly and kind gazes, that would be fine.
But if not, I instinctively narrow my eyes.
Nearly 70% of the guests had a friendly expression. Mama and papa’s friends were all good people. When they waved their hands with a smile, they would wave back delightfully.
However, it was different for the guests invited for work-related reasons.
Of course, there were also friendly people among them.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut some looked at us as if appraising us. Yeah, those people with clearly disdainful expressions. Envy and jealous, their gazes conveyed various emotions.
I saw men wearing fine suits, and women adorned with jewelry and dressed in gorgeous dresses. No matter how splendid their attire, they couldn’t hide their vulgarity.
A dress code isn’t enough for inviting them on Christmas; a “human code” is missing. Especially for those who harbor ill intentions.
However, I must not adopt a harsh attitude here. I must not show my intelligence. I must not make those people wary.
That’s why I mustn’t change to Mii-chan mode. It’s time for a deep nap. Prepare the futon and go to sleep.
As everyone’s eyes are on me, I stop at the landing in front of the stairs and, as instructed, perform a curtsey by pinching the hem of my skirt.
“I’m Takano Miu, the head of the Takano County. I will be turning 11 next year. Since today is the Christmas party, let’s all have fun together! Jingle bells, jingle bells, the bells are ringiiing!”
I jump and bounce, offering greetings with a radiant smile. Christmas must be enjoyed, after all!
“I’m Takano Yoshiyuki. Thank you all for attending our family’s Christmas party today. We have prepared some dishes for you. Please enjoy.”
“I’m Takano Mirei. It would have been nice to have a white Christmas, but it didn’t snow. I’m looking forward to the first snowfall.”
After we, the Takano finish our greetings, thunderous applause erupts, and the Christmas party begins.
Papa murmurs with a serious expression that it’s a prelude to the New Year’s party, and I worry that he will get tired. I want to enjoy the Christmas party together.
For those who speak ill of papa and mama, Black Mii-chan Santa Claus will give them a thank-you present.
