Holic Rumor Mill (163)
Unexpectedly early. Good thing I watch clamp_now now.


Chapter 163

Doumeki on the cover.

A great chat with Doumeki's grandfather Haruka. If asked for "an interesting story", of course that man will show up. ♥

Demanding food whenever he looks at his face, and shamelessly at that, his stomach is bottomless. Watanuki expresses anger at this, but Haruka's answer was surprising. Originally, thanks to Haruka's training, while he had a good taste for food, Shizuka wouldn't put in his mouth anything he himself hadn't agreed to. (T/N: It feels like there's a missing particle at the beginning of this sentence, so any ambiguity here is probably intentional of my part.)

Struck on the shoulder by that very Shizuka, he opens his eyes. Looks like it'll be too long to wait until Himawari comes. That the exchange just like in the tale is seen by Himawari is also the same as always.

Returning to the house, he talks about it with Yuuko. At first Watanuki thought it was about Doumeki's tastes.

Yuuko: It's not.
It means that he won't eat
anything but what he can trust.
Eating is a very precious happiness,
and a very frightening thing.

Then, Watanuki is lost looking for the client's house. Mokona was hiding inside his bag. Thanks to that, he made it to the end of the way without getting lost, but pushing Mokona into the bag, he excuses himself into the client's house. However...

What awaited was an unexpected large mansion. Could Mokona's escort possibly spell terribly dreadful trouble for the inauguration of "Watanuki's Cooking Class"!?

... Bottomless stomach? (笑)

Oh, Doumeki, it'd have been far more useful of you to have told these things yourself during the Kohane arc. ¬¬ Still, 104. (笑)

I see that Watanuki's sense of direction still sucks.

Uh-oh. I don't like that Mokona came along for this mission. Now, this Mokona is awesome, but their presence signs approaching trouble. (I wrote this before translating the kanji train that is the end of the teaser, by the way.)
