Chapter 61: Father, I'll Still Shoulder the Responsibility, so It's Fine, Right?
Father, I'll Still Shoulder the Responsibility, so It's Fine, Right?
"We've prepared quite a bit."
"Thanks. I'm sure it'll be a delight."
No matter how hard you try to make a regular family dining table look lavish, there's only so much you can do. Even if the main dish is plentiful, it rarely goes beyond five, leaving the rest filled with side dishes. But what if the household is anything but ordinary? If the table is a spitting image of an exaggerated scene plucked from the pages of a manga party hall, adorned with an abundance of food?
That's when things get a bit excessive.
This is way over the top.
Even though I'd love to portray a charming eating scene, the amount of food was just too much. The casual remark "we've prepared quite a bit" wasn't an exaggeration. They probably went the extra mile because it's been a while since they had a guest.
As we relocated and learned that the table was meticulously set, something felt off. It seemed excessive to have so many servants catering to just one guest.
I'm not an ordinary guest.
