Mia’s Melancholy (Secret) – Princess Mia Decides to Reach the Peak of Decadence
The truth is that Mia’s melancholy, which had caused her friends a lot of worry, didn’t exist at all! She wasn’t up all night. She didn’t put on a show. She wasn’t even sad in the first place.
Her sighs, which seemed sad, had nothing to do with mental pain. In fact, their cause was more biological. To be exact, gastrointestinal.
Those who watched this pretty princess more closely would have seen that every time she breathed out with a “Phew,” she would put her hand on her stomach and rub it. In other words, she was always overeating, which is called hyperingestion.
But it’s not like she didn’t have no worries at all. She did have some. She was worried about her possible death, but she soon got over it because she didn’t think it was worth living in constant fear of prophesied death.
Why bother to think about it over and over again? Also, I’ve already done almost everything I planned to do to make sure I don’t die.
The student council party would be happening on the night of the Holy Eve Festival, which is when and where she was told she would die. She also got them to make the security better. She had done her best.
Since she couldn’t do anything about the rest, she told herself to stop thinking about it. Mia’s strength was, after all, that she could change her mind quickly.
So then, why was she acting so strangely?
Simple.
If I don’t make it, which is very unlikely, I want to make sure I don’t have any regrets. If I’m going to die anyway, why bother trying? I should be having a good time.
So, she decided that until the day of the Holy Eve Festival, she would have a party so wild that it would make lifelong hedonists feel bad. She was basically in “If the world is going to end tomorrow, I can do whatever I want today” mode.
Mia was now living in the present, as you can see. And the time told her that she had to start by debauchery every meal.
Only eat the good parts and leave the rest. So goes the plan! Don’t worry about being wasteful. Just eat one bite of everything’s best part. That… is the most luxurious way to eat.
Mia was the princess of a powerful empire, which many of you may have forgotten. She hadn’t worked out her rich girl muscles in a long time, but it wasn’t like she’d forgotten how. She was a pro when it came to sensual pleasure.
Ohoho. It’s time to reach the top of decadence! Look out, tasty foods: I’m coming for you!
So, she went after those tasty foods, just like she said she would.
But, hnnngh, it would be such a waste not to eat this… Could I have one more bite? Oh, and this one is also really good. Okay, just two more bites, and then…
That one couldn’t just walk away from being frugality. She was always trying to save money, and it had become a habit. Now, she had a deep psychological dislike for wasting things.
She had planned to only eat a little bit of everything. Instead, she ended up leaving only a small amount of each thing. So, the meal she ordered, which had more food than usual to make up for the fact that she likes to nibble, was way too much.
She kept doing this, thinking she’d be able to stick to the plan next time, only to fail over and over again. As a result, the kitchen kept giving her extra food on top of what she ordered in the form of recipes that were easy on her stomach.
She ate so much that she got acute F.A.T., which was a little bit scary. Her crazy eating habits showed in her skin, which started to lose its shine as a result of her bad eating habits.
The situation was like someone who usually eats bland food suddenly eating a lot of rich food and having an upset stomach as a result.
Mia didn’t realise until now that all the healthy food she had been eating had taken away her body’s ability for debauchery, leaving it with nothing but…well, healthiness.
“Okay, normal is best when it comes to eating.” After her failed attempt to eat too much, she thought, “I should just go back to what I usually eat.”
“Then I’ll have to find another way to reach the peak of decadence. What else can I do? Hm…”
She thought about what she could do.
The first thing that came to mind was to run through the academy and write nonsense on every surface, like some kind of graffiti crazy person. This was a big version of how kids tend to mess up school property.
She quickly gave up on the idea because she thought the cost would be too scary if the Princess Chronicles’ prediction turned out to be wrong.
Even though she was acting as if the world, or at least her world, was going to end soon, she was very aware that it might not. If that happened, even if the Chronicles didn’t kill her, Rafina would when she saw how much damage she had done to property.
No matter what she did to make the most of her last days, it couldn’t be too crazy.
“I don’t even think writing on things is fun… What do you know? It’s tougher than I thought to have fun doing bad things.”
It took guts to do bad things. Mia was a chicken at heart, so it was too much to expect her to find pleasure in doing wrong.
After a long time of thinking, she finally clapped her hands.
“Oh, I get it. If I’m going to die anyway, I might as well have all the fun I can with Abel! I want to go on horseback dates, forest walks, and trips to town…”
She liked the idea.
“I just realised something because of that. I’ve been trying too hard to stay alive lately. My life hasn’t brought me any happiness. I should have gone on more mushroom hunting trips with Abel and spent more time with him. Oh no, what a bad mistake! I have to make up for lost time…”
Just as she was about to leave, she stopped to think about something.
“But I’m sure Abel has things to do… I wouldn’t want to be a bother by taking him with me everywhere.”
She changed her mind again after giving it more thought.
“No, that’s not something I need to worry about. I’m going to die on the night of the Holy Eve Festival anyway, so I’ll just do whatever I want!”
She smiled, even though it was an oxymoron, because she had found the best way to reach peak decadence.
“Ohoho, I can’t be stopped now! I’m invincible!”
So, Mia, proudly living at the moment, went to look for Abel.
