In this otherworldly realm, roast chicken was a staple for camping trips.
I briefly explained to the three of them the existence of "Christmas" in my world, a holiday where people enjoy delicious food, exchange gifts, and spend time with their loved ones, family, or close friends.
Well, for me, it often meant rushing to the convenience store near the last train and grabbing a cake and a package of fried chicken.
Come to think of it, when was the last time I had a wonderful Christmas date? I couldn't quite recall. Such thoughts left me a bit sentimental. Maybe that's why I wanted to host a joyful Christmas party in this world as well.
Maybe that's why I wanted to host a joyful Christmas party in this world as well.
I tucked away these sentimental thoughts and enthusiastically emphasized that roast chicken was the perfect main dish for our Christmas party.
Chronos responded, "I see, so you have such a celebration. In our country, we have something called 'Carnival.' It's a day when the entire nation dances, sings, feasts, and makes merry all day long."
"It sounds like a lot of fun."
"Indeed, it's an absolute blast! With lots of food stalls and various events. Rinsakura, how about coming with me sometime..." Noam began enthusiastically, but he was met with an incredible surge of pressure from behind, causing him to swallow his words.
"Sounds great!" I said, leaving Noam's offer to visit Carnival for another time.
While trying to remain inconspicuous to Rinsakura, Carl pushed Noam from behind and whispered, "Watch your words. Do you want to get killed by the Captain?"
Noam replied, "I also want to go on a date with a cute girl."
Carl retorted sharply, "Rinsakura-san is off-limits."
Seeing the sharpness in Carl's eyes and realizing that it was a serious warning, Noam nodded reluctantly and said, "I understand."
Chronos, meanwhile, continued the conversation. "So, to host this Christmas party, you need to acquire a magical beast chicken, right?"
"Yes, that's correct. If it's possible, I'd appreciate your help."
Chronos laughed heartily and said, "I'll get you the finest Hyunaflysch."
Hyuenaflische... I couldn't help but feel a bit concerned. I silently prayed that it would be an appropriate size for the oven and have a less unusual appearance.
"But that's a strange-sounding event, isn't it? 'Ku-ru-shi-ma-su'... It sounds a bit ominous."
I couldn't believe my ears. I never expected to hear such a pun-filled Christmas joke in another world. First the Oyokodon and now Noam's misheard words - it's like they're geniuses of misunderstanding.
"It's Christmas, you foolish cat!" Carl quickly corrected it.
"Eeh!!"
"With what happened earlier and all, do you really want to go through with it? Huh?"
Carl had a teasing smile on his face, but even Noam, who had been enjoying the banter, was taken aback by Chronos, who showed his teeth slightly.
"No, thank you."
It seemed that they had secured a way to acquire the chicken for the Christmas party. After chatting for a bit, the three of them left for work.
Today's bento included crab cream croquettes sandwiches and tuna and egg sandwiches, two of each. The side dishes were garlic stir-fried pork belly with lotus root, shrimp, and broccoli. For dessert, there was a fruit platter with fruits from the orchard. Additionally, a few freshly baked cookies were included, thanks to Noam's request.
"Sorry for the trouble as always." They said, wagging their tails with joy.
"Don't worry, I'll hunt a lot of Hyunafleisch, so you can relax."
With a friendly smile, Chronos promised and disappeared into the depths of the garden.
I hope they don't bring back too many; it would be quite troublesome. And what if they encounter a 'King Hyunafleisch'? what should I do?
I waved my hand with a smile, though I had these thoughts in the back of my mind.
