“The Sun ascended slowly above the land of the rising Sun. The sky was ice crystal clear and the low Sun was so red that it looked as if it escaped from a Japanese flag. The last few hours were dead quiet in the frozen Tokachi wheat fields, in Hokkaido; a male barn owl just finished hunting rodents hiding among the wheat fields and the snow.

The owl caught two red squirrels, a crying rabbit and a small snow-white lizuma weasel; it caught its last prey despite having hidden perfectly in the thick snow and barely making a sound. It stood no chance against the barn owl's acute hearing though. It was a good night’s harvest for the male owl, his mate and their four fledglings...”

    The good:
    "I had a very large dinner" ROTFL - up until that point we do not know if she finished her.. three-dish meal with *Daisuke watching*. Neat!

    "the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the food" 😂 👍

    Some other funny lines and jokes and the entire dialogue between Ueda and Daisuke about the ethics of eating people. Ueda had the upper hand, in terms of arguments, almost the entire time. Naturally.

    The bad:
    It appears that Daisuke's parents are even more stupid than him. If my parents had reacted that way if I brought a beauty like her home I would have left the house at that instant - perhaps permanently. Yet Daisuke did not even protest.

    If their reaction was meant to be funny I did not get the joke; maybe in a silly anime or manga form their reaction would feel more organic; maybe not.

    The ugly:
    It did not make sense for Ueda-san to go to his room and eat him right there (without hurting his family too) since she planned to kill him. She could have easily killed and eaten him in that deserted underground club and no-one would have found out about it.

    I mean she sounds like a rational gal (in he own twisted, non-human way), so why on Earth would she let three witnesses *and* family members know that she was the last person to see him before his disappearance? The police tend to treat such persons as 'persons of interest' (potential suspects) you know.

    And could she *really* not leave a single drop of blood behind in his entire room when she basically dyed almost the entire room of the club red with the blood of those guys just an hour or so ago? 🤔
    What, apart from a 'slaughter mode' does she have a 'super Hoover mode'? 😛
