Chapter 459: Lobster’s Funeral

Celia had no last name.

Her mother was like that.

She was born a slave like her mother, and her father didn't know who he was.

This is a good thing in Sachiko's opinion.

Because I have no impression, I may have regrets.

There are impressions, but they may be severely traumatized - many slaves did not end well.

"Hey, master, master!" Celia shook the lobster in her hand and waved to Sachiko excitedly: "How can I make the lobster more delicious?"

"Hmm... we think sashimi and salt roasting are both good." Asakura also became interested. He jumped down from the coconut tree and stepped barefoot on the cold beach, leaving cute footprints: "But it's a little bit just using it as a late night snack. It’s not enough! I only ate some boiled potatoes in the evening, and I’m really hungry now.”

"Yeah, it's a potato wearing clothes!"

"Hey? What did you say?"

"Ah, I'm sorry! This is what the first master said in his hometown!"

Celia shook her animal ears and hurriedly explained the meaning of this word to Sachiko.

It turns out that when food was scarce, people thought that peeling and cooking raw potatoes would be a waste of food. After all, there will definitely be part of the potato in the peeled skin.

Then, boiling the skin and then peeling it is the first choice.

Potatoes cooked in this form are called "dressed potatoes."

Sachiko suddenly understood and nodded.

This reminded her of something like this - according to this statement, those peeled potatoes on the table were all without clothes!

If they were still girls, wouldn't that mean...?

Sachiko thought of this and immediately straightened her scarf to get her mind back on track.

She believes that controlling yourself from trying to imagine the personification of potatoes is also a part of spiritual practice!

All in all, eating peeled boiled potatoes may be a very unsound behavior. Not suitable for minors.

It’s better to cook it with the skin on.

Moreover, in her mind, it was more delicious than peeled and boiled potatoes.

Potatoes that are peeled and then boiled will become damp due to heating in water, and the skin will become soft and soft.

Cooking them with the skin on effectively avoids this problem.

"Celia, have you ever had lobster?"

Asakura put on his shoes and socks, placed a circle of stones on the side, and asked this question.

"Yes! I have eaten it." Celia shook her tail gently, knelt in front of the stone and stroked the lobster, and said softly: "For a while, I often ate lobster."

"What?! Really or not?!" Sachiko was shocked: "We haven't even eaten a few times! It seems that the owner is very good to you."

"Ugh...it's okay. I wasn't abused by him that much, but he's really not a good person..." Celia muttered softly, and then explained: "If there is any leftover of the master's good food, we will The slaves can all share it, which is pretty good. So if there's any lobster left, it's our share."

"During that time, the owner received a large number of lobsters and ate them every day, making more every day... so we were very lucky! We were very happy to eat huge lobsters... so some townspeople were envious As for our lives, we hope to be able to be slaves. Every time we choose someone to be a female slave in the castle, it’s like a prince choosing a concubine, it’s very spectacular.”

"Well, it's just because there are too many people. It's not strange for strange people to sneak in occasionally. That master died during the slave selection event. There was an assassin who mixed in the crowd and stabbed her with a poisonous needle when she was close to admire her. Hit him. When the master died, his face turned purple. It was really scary..."

"Ah, master, don't mind! When I mentioned the previous master, I didn't emphasize the former master for convenience. I didn't mean to miss them at all, and I didn't think they were still the master..."

"It's okay, I don't care." Sachiko reached out and gently touched Celia's head.

Her animal ears trembled slightly due to the caress of her palms.

Celia showed a reassuring smile, closed her eyes, and moved closer to Sachiko.

For a moment, because her face was so close and her eyes were closed, Sachiko even thought that Celia wanted to kiss her.

But she knew that this was just an illusion.

At this time, as an excellent and considerate host, of course you have to rub your head vigorously!

Sachiko: "Hey! Look at us - hey~!"

Celia: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuah! My head! I feel so dizzy...I'm going to be bald!"

Sachiko: "Really? We don't believe it! You can't go bald just by touching your head!"

Celia: "Friction will cause fire! If you touch your head so quickly, it will burn it all! Ugh——!"

Sachiko suddenly wanted to see what it would look like if her head was on fire.

But Celia would have to become bald.

Sachiko realized that this was no joke.

So he immediately stopped and supported the confused cat girl to prevent her from falling to the ground.

The barbecue went well.

Although there is no salt, the grilled lobster is still delicious.

Perhaps because this is seafood, it has a bit of saltiness, so when you taste it, it doesn't feel bland at all.

Tasting its meat, Sachiko always felt that as long as she closed her eyes, she could imagine herself transforming into a lobster, swimming around energetically in the blue sea.

"Celia, what are you doing?"

Sachiko asked as she noticed that Celia was collecting broken lobster shells.

"Ah! Master, I'm going to hold a small funeral for the lobsters." Celia said seriously while holding them in her hands: "I think lobsters originally lived in the sea. After death, They should return to the sea! Then their souls will be free, right?"

"Oh~ I see! They may indeed be happier this way." Sachiko nodded in approval and helped collect the lobster shells together: "Let's throw it back into the sea together!"

So, the two collected the remains of the lobster and carried them to the sea.

It's high tide now. The tide kept coming towards the shore and then receded with an astonishing momentum.

"Celia, we don't think we can just put the lobster back, we need to say something, right?"

"Yeah, as expected of the master! You are so thoughtful! This is like a real funeral... What should we say?"

"Well...do you want us to give a eulogy? Then..."

The scarf ninja was lost in thought.

A much longer thought than she had expected.

In the end, Sachiko realized that the answer was already in her heart.

In fact, she has said this sentence countless times. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that its original meaning has been forgotten.

Sachiko took a deep breath, clasped her hands together, and said this.

"Thanks for the treat, Mr. Lobster. It's very delicious."
