A group of people traveled through a strange world, and I was the only one who was not a refugee.

I was spanked at the end, but I guess no one saw it.

Akita Makoto continued to lead them forward, feeling very sorry.

If only I hadn't used my spiritual vision to check it just now, I would have been pleasantly surprised.

Soon, the second maid appeared.

Hayasaka Ai lifted her skirt and bowed slightly: "Sir, welcome home~"

"Ah."

Akita really nodded.

It’s not that he was pretending to be cold, but Kato Megumi was a few steps behind Hayasaka Ai.

Then came Miura Yumiko, Yukinoshita Yukino, Sawamura Eriri...

There is no doubt that they are arranged in the order of first come, first served.

For a moment, the women's pleasant voices continued.

"Sir~"

"Thank you for your hard work~"

"Give me a hug~"

"..."

Finally it was Yuigahama Asuna's turn. Facing the gazes of the girls, she seemed a little shy, but still spoke a few words softly.

Ichinose Honami, who witnessed the whole process, found the scene spectacular.

It’s not because there are too many people, but because everyone’s appearance is so outstanding!

"Honanmi-chan." Fujiwara Chika interrupted her thoughts.

"what happened?"

Ichinose Honami looked at the woman who was winking at him in confusion.

"We are the only ones left."

Sakayanagi Arisu said softly and walked forward.

"Yeah, that's it." Fujiwara Chika nodded and followed.

Ichinose Honami finally reacted.

She looked at Akita Makoto who was surrounded by everyone and smiled.

After a while.

"You are such an adult~"

…………

This year's New Year's Eve dinner was exceptionally sumptuous.

All the Japanese delicacies that Akita could think of, or the dishes that were indispensable on holidays, were brought to the table by the maid and others.

"Your Excellency, are you not going to say anything?"

“Like giving a speech.”

Yukinoshita Haruno said with a smile.

Akita Shin smiled in silence. How could he prepare such a thing?

But seeing that all the girls were looking at him, he didn't think much about it.

"Little Love."

"Hi."

"Have you decided on the route for tomorrow's trip?"

"It's already been decided. I'll go get it now..."

"Just make your decision and wait till you're done eating."

"it is good."

"One more thing, don't go out tonight." Akita really felt it necessary to remind them.

"Huh? Why?"

Fujiwara Chika anxiously asked the reason, as she had already thought about where to go for a walk after the New Year's Eve dinner.

Others were also confused.

Akita Shin used his spiritual vision to check the time and said, "You will know in ten minutes."

363. New Year’s Eve dinner, family atmosphere

Hayasaka Ai and others didn't know what Akita was really up to.

He rarely keeps people in suspense like this.

Fortunately, it’s only ten minutes, so I can just wait.

Fujiwara Chika quietly used her spiritual vision, eating her meal while staring at the movement of the clock hands.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes...

When the time was about to reach half past six, a sharp voice suddenly sounded outside.

“Chiu——Bang——”

There was no time to react as fireworks rose into the sky one after another and exploded in the sky.

In an instant, the dark sky was illuminated by colorful lights.

Although we were sitting in the restaurant, we could clearly see the continuous fireworks no matter where we were when we looked out the window.

Yukinoshita Yukino and the others initially thought that the ceremony of welcoming the New Year with fireworks would only last a few minutes, or at most ten minutes.

But after more than ten minutes, the fireworks feast was still going on.

The people of this city seem to want to use this method to completely turn the night into day.

"You are such a great man."

Shinomiya Kaguya finally couldn't bear the noise coming from all directions.

Her voice was so small that it was quickly drowned out by the explosion.

But Akita could really hear it, and as his mind moved, his mental power enveloped the entire mansion.

The whole world suddenly became quiet.

Miura Yumiko rubbed her ears gently: "Master, is this why you told us not to go out?"

"Well, this situation will continue until after eleven o'clock." Akita Shin laughed.

It was the first New Year after he traveled through time, and he was as shocked as they were.

"But isn't this a waste?" Kato Megumi looked at the still shining sky outside the window and thought it was good to have no sound.

Just as Akita was about to speak, Sakayanagi Arisu suddenly spoke up: "The stock of gunpowder must be sufficient. After all, it is difficult for hot weapons to effectively kill weird things."

The girls suddenly understood.

Akita first gave her a look of praise, and then explained it to them in detail.

"Just like Arisu said, besides the fact that hot weapons have little effect on weirdness, the daily consumption is also very small."

"But these raw materials are not completely useless, and scholars have been conducting research on the combination of science and technology with the supernatural..."

"Combined with many factors, gunpowder materials have been accumulating and the stockpile is increasing."

"In this case, supervision becomes a problem, and some of it needs to be consumed in time."

The maid took over the topic thoughtfully: "Master, is there a reason for collecting funds?"

"Well... there are indeed considerations in this regard, but the price of fireworks is not expensive, and everyone can afford it, so we have the scene you are seeing now, Xiao Ai."

Having said this, all the girls understood.

Moreover, this is a world where supernatural powers exist, so there are no concerns about fires caused by large-scale fireworks.

"Bridge Bean Sacks!"

Fujiwara Chika raised her hand.

Akita Makoto signaled her to speak up if she had anything to say.

"My Lord, this doesn't seem to have anything to do with whether we can go out, right?"

As soon as she asked, Kaguya Shinomiya expressed her guess.

"It's only once a year, and everyone wants to play with fireworks, so they're set off everywhere. Plus it's a holiday, so there must be a lot of people."

"The possibility of chaos is one thing, but whether or not you can find a place to stand is the main problem."

Akita smiled and said, "It's almost the same as Kaguya said. If Chika still wants to go out and take a look, you can go out after dinner."

Fujiwara Chika is now a C-level psychic. Although the others are still at D-level, they all have the ability to protect themselves.

He doesn't have any perverted desire for control.

If you want to go out and see something new, there's nothing to stop you.

"Since the real adults have said so, let's just forget it. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

Sayuri Sawamura felt a little sorry because she had been planning to go out for a walk tonight as it was New Year's Eve after all.

But she felt that it was necessary to listen to others' advice, and Akita really had no reason to fool them.

"Just stay at home. Sanheri is going out for fun anyway, so it's better to stay at home tonight so you won't be tired tomorrow." Xue's mother said with a smile.

"Sanga Days" is what the Japanese call the New Year, which is from January 1st to January 1rd every year.

In this regard, Eriri Sawamura and others strongly agreed.

It is true that celebrating festivals is worth having fun, but if you have to squeeze through the crowds just to walk a few steps on the street, then there is really no point in doing so.

Go to some quieter place with fewer people?

It's better to stay home.

"All right……"

Seeing that everyone except herself had reached the same opinion, Fujiwara Chika pouted her lips and buried her head in her meal.

"Meow!"

The sudden sound of a cat's meow startled the girls.

Following the sound, they saw the black cat standing not far away, looking at them with dissatisfaction.

Although I don’t know why the owner and the poop scooper are so happy and the food is so well prepared, the cat is in a bad mood now.

"Well, Xiao Hei, where did you go just now?"

Hikigaya Komachi stood up and walked towards it.

The black cat looked at him as if he were an idiot.

Yukinoshita Yukino coughed lightly: "Komachi, cats are nocturnal creatures and basically sleep during the day. It must have been woken up by the sound of fireworks, so it came here."

"Eh, is that so?"

Hikigaya Komachi was slightly stunned, then immediately performed her signature move.

Stick out your tongue, clench your fist, and finally knock your head...

In fact, she knew, after all, she had raised cats in her previous world, but she just forgot about it for a while.

The black cat didn't want to see her acting cute, so it turned its head to look at its owner. Its cold look suddenly disappeared, and its eyes became pitiful.

Akita couldn't help but smile: "Komachi, prepare something edible for it."

"Good~"

Seeing the stupid poop scooper leave, the black cat didn't think much about it. Under the gaze of everyone, it jumped onto the dining table flexibly and gracefully, and found a place to lie down.

Kato Megumi and others are no longer surprised.
