There were both delicacies and ordinary home-cooked dishes, such as sweet and spicy fish and kelp rolls. Traditional New Year dishes like soba noodles, chestnut mashed sweet potato, fish cakes, prawns, chawanmushi, and more were also on the table.

"All the dishes are ready. Hungry?" Kawashima Miki sat beside him.

Needless to say, the queen naturally sat at the head of the table; there was no other choice.

"Here's some warm sake."
