Today is Christmas.
Some people say it's a cruel event that separates the winners from the losers, but that's only if you take a slanted view.
In general, it's a day of fun with family, loved ones and friends.
But, well, for those who don't fall into that category, it's just what I said in the beginning.
And if you're going to put it that way, then I guess we'll call these guys winners.
The time is six o'clock in the afternoon.
In the corner of the room, a fir tree is still prominently displayed, many presents are gathered around the tree, and various dishes are spread out on a large table in the center of the room.
We sat peacefully chatting in the space.
The Christmas party, which has been going on for about an hour now since the sun started to set, is quite a party on a home scale, but it's a lot of fun.
I never thought the day would come when I would be able to participate in such a festive event. It was worth it for me to dress like this.
"My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my.
Well done, Sikh. Here, my brave friend, here's a delicious dish for you to try.
I think that Kaido eating the food offered by the twin angels while showing Han crying would be a good analogy for what I was thinking.
The twin angels were told by Minami to dress up as Santa Claus, thinking that this was their formal Christmas attire, coupled with the analogy was correct.
I'm sure you'll find that Kaido's reindeer costume is a bit different, but that's okay.
You can find a lot of people who have a lot of experience in this kind of situation, such as Kitamiya, who is nodding her head and asking Himiku about the content of the food, as another example.
I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work. What is the name of the dish?
Oh, this. This is a traditional bird dish from the dark elf village that Suela taught me. They say the key is to bring out the flavor of the herbs. This time I have prepared Japanese and Ithar dishes. Enjoy.
Yes, it's a pleasure. Is this drink from there too? I've never had it.
Himiku was also going to dress up as Santa Claus, which Minami had prepared, but I stopped him.
The Santa Claus costume Minami had prepared was intentionally small and quite tightly fitting.
I'm glad I noticed when I was called in for a fitting, and at the same time, the memory of dropping my knuckles silently on Minami is fresh in my mind.
Now she has changed and is dressed in a turtleneck white sweater and a thin blue skirt.
Himiku explained the food, while Kitamiya, wearing a burgundy-based jacket and gray skirt, tasted the food.
This drink is also delicious.
It's my home fruit wine. I'm glad it's good for your palate.
Yes, I can't help but be struck by its subdued sweetness and clean acidity.
"Mamie, don't drink too much.
"Yes, yes, I know. But let's have a few more drinks today.
How about this one with honey? It's sweet, but has a clean aftertaste, and it's perfect for this dish.
Oh, yummy. I think I've eaten a little too much today.
"...... This is a bad pattern or mo
Near the table are Amelia and her mother Mie-san, next to Memoria, who is sitting and drinking an otherworldly drink.
Amelia and Memoria are dressed as proper Santa Claus, while Mie is dressed normally since she declined.
Amelia is underage, so she doesn't drink, but she drinks some kind of otherworldly juice instead.
But Amelia, who is sandwiched between two drunkards, seems to feel uneasy about Mie's drinking.
I'm going to be the one who will be able to help you drink a potion to sober you up when the time comes, I'll keep my eyes open.
This is how it is common to interact with residents of other worlds, but it must be a rare sight from the outside.
This space where non-human species mix together.
I'm familiar with what they are doing, but I'm not sure if a change in casting would change the atmosphere so much.
But the change is not a bad one, but rather a good one.
The lively atmosphere is not quite as boisterous as when I was a student, but still there is a friendly atmosphere and everyone is enjoying this place.
It's a sight I'm glad to have done.
And then? What are you sulking about on such an auspicious day?
I'm not sulking, that I'm not sulking, that I'm not?
"Don't say that like it's a line from someone who isn't drunk.
In such a space, I was enjoying a slow drink with Suela, and then one person came in the space.
"Are you lonely because Masaru-san was late and didn't show up?
"I don't know about Katsura, that I don't know about.
Not that it's a cushion that can ruin a person, but it's a large cushion that Suela bought to ease the burden of sitting down and hugging her face, but the usual vivacity is not evident in her voice.
You're going to be able to get the most out of this party, but you're not going to be able to get the most out of it.
She is very quiet for attending a Christmas party.
He is still sipping a can of chuhai and bringing the food that Himik had prepared for him to eat, but he's not as energetic and joyful as usual.
Katsu-san will be here soon. Until then, come and talk with us.
The combination of Suela gently nodding the head of the unusual slightly darker Minami, her belly beginning to show off her loose clothing, and Minami dressed as Santa Claus is interesting to watch.
It's not the leader's daughter-in-law, I would have asked her to marry you, that I would. Leader, please give me Suela.
I don't.
"I can't give you that.
"I was rejected, that I was rejected.
The sulky expression on Minami's face begins to fade away as she becomes more excited by Suela's kindness.
It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with them.
It's a good thing that there are many psychic spots and power spots in Japan, that there is a connection with magic, that there is?
It is a topic that has been left vaguely defined by the Japanese as being or not being.
An existence that can only be measured by its presence or absence of benefit.
A place where some say it is something, while others say it is nothing.
I used to shrug it off as long as it didn't have anything to do with magic like this, but now it does.
"Come to think of it, do we look into those places too?
There is no shortage of myths and ghost stories about the occult even today, although I never paid attention to them before.
It is often said that where there is no fire, there is no smoke, but since there are these stories, I thought they might be factual and not just fictional, so I questioned Suela.
I've been researching the lack of magic in our world, but I'm wondering if there is a similar power or a spiritual vein that is the source of the magic, and the military is searching for it as well.
"Well, then, there may be some really effective power spots, that there are.
"As far as we can tell, we haven't had any success. We haven't been able to make contact with magic or non-human beings like us.
It's a shame, that it is.
But there are some interesting reports coming out.
"Interesting report?
Suela replied in the affirmative that the investigation was being done.
The result of that investigation is that there is currently no mystery in Japan.
Minami expressed disappointment at that, but Suera smiled. He smiled and told me the contents of the report that came in.
We've confirmed that there are some areas that we can't penetrate. Artificially hidden places, deep in the mountains or in secluded areas that are unlikely to be important Japanese strongholds, were blocked.
"Oh, it's not really a hidden village, that it is! A ninja, that is? Or is it Yin-Yang?
"There is no doubt that there is something there, though. We've also seen artifacts hidden in nature. There is a strong belief that the artifacts do not belong to our world's military. Some of the people involved, who are skilled in sensing abilities, suspect it is something mysterious. So, we are in the process of deciding whether or not to contact the organization that is hiding it. So, the investigation is being conducted without our presence being noticed.
When I told Minami that it was still a long way off to find out the details, she began to grow curious.
I can't help but be curious about the fact that there is actually a mystery in Japan.
I've wondered if there was something mysterious about my mother's unconventional daughter of a shrine.
It's somewhat romantic to think that it might be an ancient Japanese power.
The other thing I need to do is to gather information, including gossip. There is too much information here too, so it's a big job to check the authenticity.
"There are a lot of gossip, that it is, and I feel sorry for you.
In a sense, casual gossip is a valuable source of information for Suela and her friends.
But the majority of these sources of information are also written as a joke, and it would be an extraordinary task to find out the truth from them.
It's hard work, I think, and I drink a beer.
Oh, if it's that kind of genre, I've heard some interesting things lately.
Oh, my God, what is that?
I'm curious.
As we were chatting, Kaido also joined the conversation.
Then naturally the twin angels also joined in.
What kind of story is that? I have a feeling that it's going to end up being a slippery slope, that it is.
"It's okay! It's really funny.
"Oh, we're going to raise the bar even higher here, that we do, Kaido-senpai.
You've come up big, Kaido confidently throws out his chest, while Minami watches in admiration as he spins out some incendiary words.
Suela is also curious and listens intently to Kaido's words.
I heard something is coming out recently.
"A ghost, that is? I'm tired of seeing it, that I am.
As a poor storyteller, Kaido paused for a moment and said
'No, it's not! It's not a ghost, but a real one. There are girls around your age who talk to you, saying that you are fascinated by a demon.
No one here would have thought that this story, which started with such a prelude, would turn out the way it did.
Word of the Day
Switching between thoughts is not something that seems to be possible, but it would be useful in many ways.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
