The Christmas party was fun.
It made me feel as if I was a student again.
I felt nostalgic and reaffirmed my childlike spirit, wondering if I still had such an exuberant heart.
There was a party of drinking and singing led by Kaido and Minami.
At that time there was no one to stop the party, and the atmosphere gradually grew more heated.
I don't remember the last time I laughed with my stomach in my mouth.
"Guhk, you guys are really funny.
Those pleasant moments went by in the blink of an eye.
How can I say that it was quiet after the festival.
It might have felt quiet and lonely compared to the noisy time we were having.
However, as I watched Kaido, dazed and drunk, throwing him into the futon and snoring until the very end, I felt a bit crazy, and a smile escaped my lips.
The smoldering feeling of fun in my chest overshadowed the loneliness.
Although my body has drunk more than a bottle, I feel slightly hot and cheerful, but I don't feel lightheaded or uncomfortable.
Drinking with the instructors, I have become much stronger than I used to be.
That's why I can drink at a high pace and still be calm like this.
But it is only because I was trained by the demons and the immortals, a race that boasts of its foul strength against alcohol.
They are now a dream.
They were noisy during the Christmas party and now they're all sleeping in the guest room.
Kaido was drinking like crazy with me just a few minutes ago.
I threw her in the room with Katsu, who had rested earlier, because I knew she'd be hungover tomorrow.
Of course, the men and women are separated.
The men's room was occupied by Kaido and Katsu, and they wouldn't wake up until morning.
On the women's side, the equally liver-rich Himiku is tucking in Kitamiya, Minami, and the twin angels who tried to sleep with Kaido.
The fact that you think it's somehow interesting just by picturing the scene is an indication that you value the time these guys are around.
You quickly get up and walk from the guest room to your room before returning to the living room.
You're back?
"Oh, Himik?
"I'm making snacks in the kitchen. Suela is helping. She needs to do a little exercise.
Yeah. Well, as long as Himikku is with us, it's not a problem.
"I've heard that worrying too much is not good for you.
"...... I know what I'm doing. It's my first child and I don't know how I'm going to treat him either.
I know, but I know how you feel. Maybe it's because you've fallen in love with the same man. Sometimes I think of Suela's child as my own.
I see.
It's boring. I'm trying to resist embarrassment, okay?
I'm at a loss for words, thanks to you telling me that I'm happy. You know what makes a good woman feel good about a man?
Well, then I'd like to see your embarrassed face, so I'll just be a little bit of a bad girl for now.
There is Memoria drinking wine at a table that has been tidied up to some extent, though the remnants of the Christmas party remain.
The other two are not in the living room, so you wonder where they've gone, and when you look around, Memoria notices and tells you.
And when you worry about Suela, she chides you, smiling.
I don't know if I'm overly worried or not, so I sit down next to her, scratching my cheek with a wry smile.
I set aside the bags I've brought with me.
"Would you like a drink?
"Oh, I get it.
Memoria offered me a bottle of wine and a glass of wine, and I took it and poured it for her.
Memoria is a vampire.
She usually lives according to our schedule, but normally this is her time of day.
Vampires are a very strong race.
So I've heard from Memoria that they don't need to sleep to some extent.
But I still think she's more active at this time of day.
After pouring me a glass of wine, the way she slowly drank her own wine makes me think that she's different, even though she looks just like a human.
She looks like a puppet in human form, but it makes me believe she is alive.
Her body temperature is colder than normal, but that doesn't mean she is not warm.
When I look at her profile, which has such contradictory elements, I find myself saying to myself.
"Huh, did you fancy her?
They only change their eyes and tease me like a little girl with a prank in mind.
Yeah, I think my girlfriend is beautiful.
I'm not old enough to be teased and embarrassed by such an atmosphere.
Just because I am not easily drunk does not mean that I do not get drunk.
Maybe because of that feeling, I answer her words honestly.
That's straightforward. I'm flattered, but shouldn't you be a little more embarrassed?
I'm embarrassed to admit it.
"I see.
If you honestly think it's beautiful, if you say honest words, its normally motionless face will collapse and show you a happy expression.
It's embarrassing to see Memoria's expression, but it gives me a sense of satisfaction that I couldn't feel in my previous life.
Then a delicious aroma wafted in.
Lord, here's a little food for you.
"Looks good.
With warm steam in the air, Himik brings a plate of food that is a little small for the four of us, but just right for us to nibble on, and Suela slowly arrives from behind him with the same plate.
The date has long since changed, and Santa Claus has passed, but from now on it's our own Christmas party.
Himik, due to his inherent physical sturdiness, does not mind drinking alcohol, and Suela, being pregnant, has never had a drink.
Memoria is rather energetic as she keeps the pace down with Memoria and this is her time to get going.
Yes, here you go, too.
Thank you.
And now that the four of us are together, the second party has begun, but it's no different than usual.
You can find a number of different types of shoes and boots for you to choose from.
You will find that you will be able to get a lot more information on this. I heard it's a day to celebrate the saints of the other world, but it's not too different from ours.
In Japan, it's not that serious. In the home country, it would have been pretty amazing, but in the Japanese household, this one is pretty noisy.
"Is that so, Lord? Do we do less rituals in our world?
As we slowly drink and chat, we talk about the difference between this Christmas party and the celebrations in the world of Suela and her friends.
With the exception of families that value a certain religion, Christmas in Japanese households does not fall outside the realm of events.
No, some people may think of it as just an opportunity to make some noise.
As Himikku says, praying to God and thanking Him for our daily breads is just a way to say "Itadakimasu" (thank you) to the farmers.
The only people who would be thankful for Christmas would be dedicated Christians.
That's about as close as I can get. There are priests in Japan, priests of different religions, priests and temple priests. But, well, there are not many occasions for ordinary people to get together and pray for something.
"Oh, really. If the inhabitants of the other side hear about it, they'll go crazy.
There is a God.
In these days of painful stares if you talk like that.
Realism, if you will.
In a world where everything can be explained by concepts such as physics and science, the belief in a vague existence such as God is too occult to be accepted.
Maybe so.
Sometimes I think that these days we are so caught up in paranormal events that the Japanese who don't know about them have become narrow-minded.
I agree with Himik's words, thinking that I'm in the same boat.
I've been to the temple when I was on a business trip some time ago, and I'm sure the people involved in the temple would have been accused of being heretics and would have been purged.
"So this story doesn't make Himikku think anything?
"Faith is a person's freedom. I don't have to and won't tell you.
It's a good thing that the object of your belief is free to believe or not to believe, but from the point of view of God, it's as if he said it's up to you to give or not to give him nourishment.
You will be able to find out what is going on in the world and how you can help.
It's a good idea to have an event like this.
"You mean like a Christmas-like event, right?
"Yeah, spend time with your girlfriend, give her gifts.
If it's about spending time with loved ones and family, then a harvest festival might be the way to go.
"Harvest Festival? What do you do in the fall or something?
Yes, in some regions it is also called votive festival. It is a festival to dedicate the harvest to God. In general, it is a time to spend time with family and thank them for a year of good health, and for single adults, it's a place to meet their loved ones.
Huh, not so fast. Suella and Memoria have participated in this before, right? What's it like?
""......"
I asked them about their celebrations and festivals, and since they sounded similar to the harvest festival that I know, I asked them about the differences between their celebrations and ours, but Suela and Memoria, who should be experienced, did not respond well.
Both of them are staring at the glass in their hands and have a look on their face as if they are not ready to talk.
No, there's no need to force it, okay? There are some things you just can't say.
No, it's not that I can't tell you, but it's not my problem anymore.
"Suela?
I tried to divert the conversation to see if there was something difficult to say, but then Suela spoke up, as if she had second thoughts.
We, the dark elves of the harvest festival, of course, is mostly about what I just said: ...... You know, the elders, the older people who are married to the elders, are giving us younger people a lot of trouble.
"Unnecessary nosiness?
"Yes.
The sight of Suela talking with her hand on her forehead as if she had a headache just thinking about it reminds me of the hardships she must have gone through.
"There's a lot of talk about the men in the neighboring villages, and the men who have risen to the top, and all sorts of meddling to get you to marry them, and Kaylee and I joined the Demon King's Army because we didn't want to do that.
You've been through a lot.
"Yeah, it was fun when I was a kid. ......
When you become an adult, you naturally have to think about your offspring.
The fact that you are seriously considering marriage and children is evident in Suera's expression.
You'll be able to see that she is serious about marriage and children.
I had heard that dark elves have a hard time falling in love because of their race's characteristics.
Maybe that's why such a festival attracts men and women from all walks of life.
They must be practicing all-out warfare for the future of their race.
Well, it's probably not good for the people who practice it.
By the way, how about Memoria?
Is there a particular hardship of vampires here too?
I've heard there are no special romantic feelings like the dark elves, but there may be vampire circumstances I don't know about.
The Chamber of Commerce is raking in the Harvest Festival.
"Well, ......
But the one word she let loose, I, who had worked in the past, could see it all.
But in Memoria's case, it seemed it was more a matter of her job than her race.
It's time for a raid, which means it's a busy time at work.
In addition, I've never enjoyed a harvest festival because of the many nobleman's parties and inter-chamber events that occur during that time of year.
Maybe it's because of the city's unique affliction, or maybe it's because of Memoria's personality that she doesn't like crowds, or maybe it's because she was born into a family that runs a large trading company.
So it was nice to have a quiet moment like today.
Yes, Memoria is right, Jiro-san.
I'm sure you'll be able to find the right one for you, but I'm sure you'll be able to find the right one for you.
I understand that they were teased a little bit, and I scratched my head with a laugh and gave them the Christmas present I had prepared for them.
Shall we stay up a little later tonight?

I don't have to and won't tell you.It's a good thing that the object of your belief is free to believe or not to believe, but from the point of view of God, it's as if he said it's up to you to give or not to give him nourishment.You will be able to find out what is going on in the world and how you can help.It's a good idea to have an event like this."You mean like a Christmas-like event, right?"Yeah, spend time with your girlfriend, give her gifts.If it's about spending time with loved ones and family, then a harvest festival might be the way to go."Harvest Festival?What do you do in the fall or something?Yes, in some regions it is also called votive festival. It is a festival to dedicate the harvest to God. In general, it is a time to spend time with family and thank them for a year of good health, and for single adults, it's a place to meet their loved ones.Huh, not so fast. Suella and Memoria have participated in this before, right?What's it like?""......"I asked them about their celebrations and festivals, and since they sounded similar to the harvest festival that I know, I asked them about the differences between their celebrations and ours, but Suela and Memoria, who should be experienced, did not respond well.Both of them are staring at the glass in their hands and have a look on their face as if they are not ready to talk.No, there's no need to force it, okay?There are some things you just can't say.No, it's not that I can't tell you, but it's not my problem anymore."Suela?I tried to divert the conversation to see if there was something difficult to say, but then Suela spoke up, as if she had second thoughts.We, the dark elves of the harvest festival, of course, is mostly about what I just said: ...... You know, the elders, the older people who are married to the elders, are giving us younger people a lot of trouble."Unnecessary nosiness?"Yes.The sight of Suela talking with her hand on her forehead as if she had a headache just thinking about it reminds me of the hardships she must have gone through."There's a lot of talk about the men in the neighboring villages, and the men who have risen to the top, and all sorts of meddling to get you to marry them, and Kaylee and I joined the Demon King's Army because we didn't want to do that.You've been through a lot."Yeah, it was fun when I was a kid. ......When you become an adult, you naturally have to think about your offspring.The fact that you are seriously considering marriage and children is evident in Suera's expression.You'll be able to see that she is serious about marriage and children.I had heard that dark elves have a hard time falling in love because of their race's characteristics.Maybe that's why such a festival attracts men and women from all walks of life.They must be practicing all-out warfare for the future of their race.Well, it's probably not good for the people who practice it.By the way, how about Memoria?Is there a particular hardship of vampires here too?I've heard there are no special romantic feelings like the dark elves, but there may be vampire circumstances I don't know about.The Chamber of Commerce is raking in the Harvest Festival."Well, ......But the one word she let loose, I, who had worked in the past, could see it all.But in Memoria's case, it seemed it was more a matter of her job than her race.It's time for a raid, which means it's a busy time at work.In addition, I've never enjoyed a harvest festival because of the many nobleman's parties and inter-chamber events that occur during that time of year.Maybe it's because of the city's unique affliction, or maybe it's because of Memoria's personality that she doesn't like crowds, or maybe it's because she was born into a family that runs a large trading company.So it was nice to have a quiet moment like today.Yes, Memoria is right, Jiro-san.I'm sure you'll be able to find the right one for you, but I'm sure you'll be able to find the right one for you.I understand that they were teased a little bit, and I scratched my head with a laugh and gave them the Christmas present I had prepared for them.Shall we stay up a little later tonight?Word of the DayThe world is different, and there are cultural differences, but you're still going to be happy to receive a gift.
