==The Christmas of the Shield Hero, Part 4==
  +
Two days before Christmas
 
  +
<br />
Two days before Christmas.
 
  +
<br />“Niichan, Niichan!” (Kiel)
 
  +
<br />
 
  +
<br />I hide the evidence that I am preparing presents as Kiel rushes towards me with a worried look on her face.
“Niichan, Niichan!” (Kiel)
 
  +
<br />
 
  +
<br />“What is it Kiel? Do you want to try to stack up some good deeds to cover up you usual mischievous behavior for Christmas?” (Naofumi)
 
  +
<br />“What do you think I am?! That’s not it! I noticed something about the houses in the village.” (Kiel)
I hide the evidence that I am preparing presents as Kiel rushes towards me with a worried look on her face.
 
  +
<br />“… What is it?” (Naofumi)
 
  +
<br />“We don’t have many chimneys.” (Kiel)
 
  +
<br />
“What is it Kiel? Do you want to try to stack up some good deeds to cover up you usual mischievous behavior for Christmas?” (Naofumi)
 
  +
<br />Well, now that I think about it, she is correct
 
“What do you think I am?! That’s not it! I noticed something about the houses in the village.” (Kiel)
+
<br />Quite a few of the houses in the village are made of Bioplant.
  +
<br />I set it so the plants had self-heating functions, so very few houses actually need fireplaces.
 
  +
<br />Though a chimney would be needed for cooking as well, most people just used the dining hall I built in the center of the village.
“… What is it?” (Naofumi)
 
  +
<br />And for these reasons, the amount of houses with chimneys is scarce.
 
  +
<br />
“We don’t have many chimneys.” (Kiel)
 
  +
<br />“How will Santa get it?!” (Kiel)
 
  +
<br />“It’s fine.” (Naofumi)
 
  +
<br />“What is?” (Kiel)
Well, now that I think about it, she is correct
 
  +
<br />“Santa can pick locks. He’ll just break in through the fromt door.” (Naofumi)
 
  +
<br />“I don’t want that kind of Santa!” (Kiel)
Quite a few of the houses in the village are made of Bioplant.
 
  +
<br />
 
  +
<br />This person is being quite selfish.
I set it so the plants had self-heating functions, so very few houses actually need fireplaces.
 
  +
<br />But it seems that the villagers agree with her.
 
  +
<br />
Though a chimney would be needed for cooking as well, most people just used the dining hall I built in the center of the village.
 
  +
<br />“What are you discussing?” (Firo)
 
  +
<br />“Ah, we’re discussing how the village doesn’t have enough chimneys for Santa to go down. Kiel is worried.” (Naofumi)
And for these reasons, the number of houses with chimneys is scarce.
 
  +
<br />“That’s it? We should be fine” (Firo)
 
  +
<br />
 
  +
<br />? What is Firo trying to say?
“How will Santa get in?!” (Kiel)
 
  +
<br />
 
  +
<br />“Santa you know, he’s mast~” (Firo) <ref>Firo is trying to say Santa is master</ref>
“It’s fine.” (Naofumi)
 
  +
<br />“Firo, Don’t say any more than that.” (Naofumi)
 
“What is?” (Kiel)
+
<br />“Eh?” (Firo)
  +
<br />
 
  +
<br />For the love of… If you say that, it will only become more troublesome!
“Santa can pick locks. He’ll just break in through the front door.” (Naofumi)
 
  +
<br />This talking bird only ever says unnecessary things.
 
  +
<br />Anyways, why did she know?
“I don’t want that kind of Santa!” (Kiel)
 
  +
<br />
 
  +
<br />“Kiel. I understand your request. You want me to install chimneys into the houses of the village.” (Naofumi)
 
  +
<br />“Yeah!” (Kiel)
This person is being quite selfish.
 
  +
<br />
 
  +
<br />*Sigh* she’s signing me up for quite a strenuous job.
But it seems that the villagers agree with her.
 
  +
<br />But I guess this is also Santa’s duty. There’s no choice.
 
  +
<br />It’s a pain. I want to quit. But this is also my duty as Archduke.
 
  +
<br />I need to help the hardworking villagers celebrate this event that only happens once a year.
“What are you discussing?” (Firo)
 
  +
<br />And that’s how I began going around installing chimneys into the houses made of Bioplant.
 
  +
<br />Well, it’s not that difficult. All I have to do is edit the attributes of each individual plant. It’s still quite tedious.
“Ah, we’re discussing how the village doesn’t have enough chimneys for Santa to go down. Kiel is worried.” (Naofumi)
 
  +
<br />
 
  +
<br />“Oh yes, what are we going to do about Santa’s sled and reindeer?” (Naofumi)
“That’s it? We should be fine.” (Firo)
 
  +
<br />
 
  +
<br />I drove away Kiel, who seemed satisfied, and called a conference for the adults.
 
  +
<br />…Is it just my imagination, or did the Filo Rials just begin staring at me intently?
? What is Firo trying to say?
 
  +
<br />Firo is also next to me for some reason.
 
  +
<br />However, Rafatalia is not attending.
 
  +
<br />
“Santa you know, he’s Mast~-” (Firo)<ref>TL: Firo is trying to say Santa is Master.</ref>
 
  +
<br />“Master!” (Firo)
 
“Firo, don’t say any more than that.” (Naofumi)
+
<br />“What?” (Naofumi)
  +
<br />“I know that master is Santa, so please let me contribute.” (Firo)
 
  +
<br />“But that would put you on the side that gives out presents. Are you sure you don’t need anything?” (Naofumi)
“Eh?” (Firo)
 
  +
<br />“Yeah!” (Firo)
 
  +
<br />
 
  +
<br />What sort of turnout is this?
For the love of… If you say that, it will only become more troublesome!
 
  +
<br />I thought Firo would have loved to remain on the receiving end.
 
  +
<br />
This talking bird only ever says unnecessary things.
 
  +
<br />“Because this side seems more fun.” (Firo)
 
  +
<br />
Anyways, why did she know?
 
  +
<br />I see, so to her, the event itself is more fun than the presents.
 
  +
<br />
 
  +
<br />“And Master will make me something tasty if I work hard, right?” (Firo)
“Kiel. I understand your request. You want me to install chimneys into the houses of the village.” (Naofumi)
 
  +
<br />
 
  +
<br />I’m not good with impulsive people.
“Yeah!” (Kiel)
 
  +
<br />Is what I thought, but as long as she is motivated, it will probably work out.
 
  +
<br />
 
  +
<br />“Returning to the subject, what are we going to do about the reindeer and sled? Should we order some monsters from the Demon users?” (Naofumi)
*Sigh* she’s signing me up for quite a strenuous job.
 
  +
<br />
 
  +
<br />I’m pretty sure that these theatrics will be necessary.
But I guess this is also Santa’s duty. There’s no choice.
 
  +
<br />
 
  +
<br />“Firo will pull the sled.” (Firo)
It’s a pain. I want to quit. But this is also my duty as Archduke.
 
  +
<br />“Moreover, do we even have a sled that flies in the sky?” (Naofumi)
 
  +
<br />“Firo will pull it and fly.” (Firo)
I need to help the hardworking villagers celebrate this event that only happens once a year.
 
  +
<br />“Please be quiet for a second” (Naofumi)
 
  +
<br />“Well… The tradition does involve a flying sled and flying Aldirea… but I don’t think you have to go that far.” (Imya’s uncle)
And that’s how I began going around installing chimneys into the houses made of Bioplant.
 
  +
<br />
 
  +
<br />Aldirea? If I remembered correctly, they were a type of monster. So they don’t use reindeer here…
Well, it’s not that difficult. All I have to do is edit the attributes of each individual plant. It’s still quite tedious.
 
  +
<br />
 
  +
<br />“What sort of monster is an Aldirea” (Naofumi)
 
  +
<br />
“Oh yes, what are we going to do about Santa’s sled and reindeer?” (Naofumi)
 
  +
<br />Imya’s uncle quickly doodles a picture of a monster.
 
  +
<br />It looks exactly like a reindeer.
 
  +
<br />
I drove away Kiel, who seemed satisfied, and called a conference for the adults.
 
  +
<br />“It looks annoying to capture” (Naofumi)
 
  +
<br />“Master!!!” (Firo)
…Is it just my imagination, or did the Filo Rials just begin staring at me intently?
 
  +
<br />“Ah. Yes. Yes.” (Naofumi)
 
  +
<br />
Firo is also next to me for some reason.
 
  +
<br />We’re only going to be going around the village. I guess Firo will do.
 
  +
<br />If they see us capturing these animals, the kids will find out anyways.
However, Raphtalia is not attending.
 
  +
<br />Dressing up as Santa is also a no go.
 
  +
<br />If I just act natural I shouldn’t seem suspicious.
 
  +
<br />
“Master!” (Firo)
 
  +
<br />“Then Firo, you will take on the Reindeer’s… Aldirea’s job.” (Naofumi)
 
“What?” (Naofumi)
+
<br />“Yay~” (Firo)
  +
<br />“Now what should we do for the Sleigh…” (Naofumi)
 
  +
<br />“Leave it to Firo.” (Firo)
“I know that Master is Santa, so please let me contribute.” (Firo)
 
  +
<br />“Do you have an idea?” (Naofumi)
 
  +
<br />“Yes!” (Firo)
“But that would put you on the side that gives out presents. Are you sure you don’t need anything?” (Naofumi)
 
  +
<br />“I see. I’ll leave it to you.” (Naofumi)
 
“Yeah!” (Firo)
+
<br />“Yes~!” (Firo)
  +
<br />“I’ve left it to you. Don’t forget to do it.” (Naofumi)
 
  +
<br />
 
  +
<br />I’m a bit worried, so I tell Imya’s uncle to watch over Firo.
What sort of turnout is this?
 
  +
<br />And with that, the day before Christmas Eve was over.
 
  +
<br />
I thought Firo would have loved to remain on the receiving end.
 
  +
<br />…
 
  +
<br />“Merry~ Christmaaaaaaas~!!!!!” (Motoyasu)
 
  +
<br />
“Because this side seems more fun.” (Firo)
 
  +
<br />It’s early in the morning, Motoyasu is circling the village riding on his Filo Rials shouting.
 
  +
<br />Does he really like Christmas that much?
 
  +
<br />Motoyasu seems to be distributing something among the Filo Rials.
I’m not good with impulsive people.
 
  +
<br />
 
  +
<br />“Niichan! Niichan! Someone picked all of the crepes off of my Crepe tree. Help me find the culprit.” (Kiel)
Is what I thought, but as long as she is motivated, it will probably work out.
 
  +
<br />
 
  +
<br />Kiel runs towards me shouting this.
 
  +
<br />Of course, I point my finger at Motoyasu
“Returning to the subject, what are we going to do about the reindeer and sled? Should we order some monsters from the Demon users?” (Naofumi)
 
  +
<br />While he was going around announcing the start of Christmas, he was also distributing Crepes.
 
  +
<br />
 
  +
<br />“You BAAAASSSTTTAARRRRDDDD!!!” (Kiel)
I’m pretty sure that these theatrics will be necessary.
 
  +
<br />
 
  +
<br />Kiel gets seriously angry.
 
  +
<br />
“Firo will pull the sled.” (Firo)
 
  +
<br />「I, who has understood the source of strength, The Hero of the Scythe Commands! Once again manifest before me, my Scythe! 」 (Kiel)
 
  +
<br />
“Moreover, do we even have a sled that flies in the sky?” (Naofumi)
 
  +
<br />With a bang, a large Scythe appears before Kiel.
 
  +
<br />After the wave, it seems that the legendary weapons have gained the ability to appear and disappear on command.
“Firo will pull it and fly.” (Firo)
 
  +
<br />But it seems… that I cannot do this…
 
  +
<br />Kiel begins to spin her Scythe and approaches Motoyasu menacingly. The wind is acting up.
“Please be quiet for a second.” (Naofumi)
 
  +
<br />So this is the power of the Scythe Hero.
 
  +
<br />
“Well… The tradition does involve a flying sled and flying Aldirea… but I don’t think you have to go that far.” (Imya’s uncle)
 
  +
<br />“MERRYYYYYYYYY~” (Motoyasu)
 
  +
<br />
 
  +
<br />Motoyasu is still distributing crepes in unnervingly high spirits. Kiel quickly appears behind him.
Aldirea? If I remembered correctly, they were a type of monster. So they don’t use reindeer here…
 
  +
<br />
 
  +
<br />「Soul Reaper X」(Kiel)
 
  +
<br />
“What sort of monster is an Aldirea?” (Naofumi)
 
  +
<br />All of the light in the area is absorbed into the Scythe. Kiel slashes a single time, and then starts spinning the Scythe. The light disperses and she strikes a cool pose.
 
  +
<br />
 
  +
<br />“Enemy Eliminated” (Kiel)
Imya’s uncle quickly doodles a picture of a monster.
 
  +
<br />
 
  +
<br />… What sort of game is this.
It looks exactly like a reindeer.
 
  +
<br />Like a marionette that got its strings cut, Motoyasu falls off the Filo Rial.
 
  +
<br />
 
  +
<br />“Mo-kun!”
“It looks annoying to capture.” (Naofumi)
 
  +
<br />”Mou-chan!”
 
  +
<br />“Motoyasu!”
“Master!!!” (Firo)
 
  +
<br />
 
  +
<br />The three Filo Rials shout out into the winter sky.
“Ah. Yes. Yes.” (Naofumi)
 
  +
<br />
 
  +
<br />“What the hell are you doing!?” (Filo Rial)
 
  +
<br />“That’s my line!” (Kiel)
We’re only going to be going around the village. I guess Firo will do.
 
  +
<br />
 
  +
<br />And the death match between the Filo Rials and Kiel began.
If they see us capturing these animals, the kids will find out anyways.
 
  +
<br />The result: Kiel eventually abated the anger she had attained from losing her Crepes, and the three Filo Rials left Motoyasu and went off somewhere.
 
  +
<br />
Dressing up as Santa is also a no go.
 
  +
<br />“Really. What the hell are these people doing so early in the morning…”
 
  +
<br />
If I just act natural, I shouldn’t seem suspicious.
 
  +
<br />I feel surprisingly worn out.
 
  +
<br />Motoyasu being Motoyasu, I can’t believe that he didn’t think of the consequences of plundering Kiel’s food supply.
 
  +
<br />
“Then Firo, you will take on the Reindeer’s… Aldirea’s job.” (Naofumi)
 
  +
<br />“Uu… I wanted to give them to everyone for Christmas and yet…” (Kiel)
 
  +
<br />“So you were planning such things as well.” (Naofumi)
“Yay~” (Firo)
 
  +
<br />“Of Course Niichan. But that spear guy… he…” (Kiel)
 
  +
<br />“He was definitely in the wrong, but you already got your revenge. Were you trying to kill him?” (Naofumi)
“Now what should we do for the Sleigh…” (Naofumi)
 
  +
<br />“Naofumi, you shouldn’t overexert yourself either.” (Rafatalia)
 
  +
<br />“I understand” (Naofumi)
“Leave it to Firo.” (Firo)
 
  +
<br />
 
  +
<br />Rafatalia mutters with the same weary expression as me.
“Do you have an idea?” (Naofumi)
 
  +
<br />Well it’s not as if I don’t understand.
 
  +
<br />Why did Motoyasu do such a stupid act… I don’t get him.
“Yes!” (Firo)
 
  +
<br />
 
“I see. I’ll leave it to you.” (Naofumi)
+
<br />“Oh well. What should I make for the Christmas Feast?” (Naofumi)
  +
<br />“Yay, Niichan’s cooking. Santa granted my wish!” (Kiel)
 
  +
<br />
“Yes~!” (Firo)
 
  +
<br />The villagers are also in high spirits.
 
  +
<br />As expected of Christmas Eve
“I’ve left it to you. Don’t forget to do it.” (Naofumi)
 
  +
<br />It feels more festive than the Christmas of my old world.
 
  +
<br />Are these people really just that pure? <ref> As in childish</ref>
 
  +
<br />
I’m a bit worried, so I tell Imya’s uncle to watch over Firo.
 
  +
<br />“If we’re talking about Christmas, maybe I should prepare Turkey. At least that’s what we did in Japan…” (Naofumi)
 
  +
<br />
And with that, the day before Christmas eve was over.
 
  +
<br />“Bird?!?” (Firo)
 
  +
<br />“KKUUUEEEEEEEE” (Filo Rials)
 
  +
<br />
 
  +
<br />The Filo Rials that noticed me staring at them run away as if their lives depended on it.
 
  +
<br />I guess there’s no choice. I am used to catching fleeing prey.
“Merry~ Christmaaaaaaas~!!ǃ!!!” (Motoyasu)
 
  +
<br />
 
  +
<br />“Wait! Rafatalia, don’t let them escape!” (Naofumi)
 
  +
<br />“Why should I do that?!” (Rafatalia)
It’s early in the morning, Motoyasu is circling the village riding on his Filo Rials shouting.
 
  +
<br />“For Christmas, you obviously need some sort of Bird Meat” (Naofumi)
 
  +
<br />“But why do we need to use Filo Rial?! Even Firo is running away!” (Rafatalia)
Does he really like Christmas that much?
 
  +
<br />“I see, then let’s settle for Dragon Meat or something. Go catch something bird-like!” (Naofumi)
 
  +
<br />“Kyua!?” (Gaelion)
Motoyasu seems to be distributing something among the Filo Rials.
 
  +
<br />
 
  +
<br />At that moment, Taniko, Raht, Mi and Gaelion returned through the Portal.
 
  +
<br />My timing was bad wasn’t it.
“Niichan! Niichan! Someone picked all of the crepes off of my Crepe tree. Help me find the culprit.” (Kiel)
 
  +
<br />
 
  +
<br />“What are you talking about?” (Taniko)
 
  +
<br />“Ah, the perfect entrée has arrived. Gaelion, Change into your dragon form and give me your tail.” (Naofumi)
Kiel runs towards me shouting this.
 
  +
<br />“Kyuaaaaaaaaaaa?!?!” (Gaelion)
 
  +
<br />『What the hell are you thinking』(Taniko Party)
Of course, I point my finger at Motoyasu
 
  +
<br />“We need some meat for Christmas” (Naofumi)
 
  +
<br />“And why does that require Gaelion’s meat!” (Taniko)
While he was going around announcing the start of Christmas, he was also distributing Crepes.
 
  +
<br />“I’ve heard that Dragon meat tastes very similar to chicken. If Filo Rial isn’t allowed, then I have no choice but to substitute.” (Naofumi)
 
  +
<br />
 
  +
<br />I want to prepare something chicken-ish for all of the villagers.
“You BAAAASSSTTTAARRRRDDDD!!!” (Kiel)
 
  +
<br />
 
  +
<br />“Naofumi. Please put an end to your bad jokes.” (Rafatalia)
 
  +
<br />“mu… Fine.” (Naofumi)
Kiel gets seriously angry.
 
  +
<br />
 
  +
<br />I kinda wanted to surprise the villagers.
 
  +
<br />
「I, who has understood the source of strength, The Hero of the Scythe Commands! Once again manifest before me, my Scythe! 」 (Kiel)
 
  +
<br />“Ara? You’re stopping?” (Atlas)
 
  +
<br />
 
  +
<br />Atlas voice comes out of the shield.
With a bang, a large Scythe appears before Kiel.
 
  +
<br />She seems to be trying to defend my position
 
  +
<br />But in spirit form there is not much that she can do.
After the wave, it seems that the legendary weapons have gained the ability to appear and disappear on command.
 
  +
<br />If she had a body, I’m pretty sure we could go hunt a Dragon.
 
  +
<br />
But it seems… that I cannot do this… <ref> Naofumi is sad that he doesn't have this ability</ref>
 
  +
<br />“I was just joking. Go buy the ingredients we need for cooking.” (Naofumi)
 
  +
<br />
Kiel begins to spin her Scythe and approaches Motoyasu menacingly. The wind is acting up.
 
  +
<br />Everyone gives a relieved sigh and heads off.
 
  +
<br />
So this is the power of the Scythe Hero.
 
  +
<br />“If you don’t find enough, we may have to… substitute…” (Naofumi)
 
  +
<br />
 
  +
<br />I threaten.
“MERRYYYYYYYYY~” (Motoyasu)
 
  +
<br />
 
  +
<br />“Let’s go, everyone~!” (Taniko)
 
  +
<br />“KUEEE!”
Motoyasu is still distributing crepes in unnervingly high spirits. Kiel quickly appears behind him.
 
  +
<br />“KYUAAAAAA”
 
  +
<br />“wait, Gaelion?!”
 
  +
<br />“RAFU~!”
「Soul Reaper X」(Kiel)
 
  +
<br />
 
  +
<br />In a cloud of dust, the monsters run off towards the village. This experience will be a good wake up call.
 
  +
<br />My stance has and will always be ‘Those who do not work do not eat’.
All of the light in the area is absorbed into the Scythe. Kiel slashes a single time, and then starts spinning the Scythe. The light disperses and she strikes a cool pose.
 
  +
<br />Is what I think when I realize that the scouting team was late in arriving.
 
  +
<br />
 
  +
<br />“Ah, you can stay at home tomorrow.” (Naofumi)
“Enemy Eliminated.” (Kiel)
 
  +
<br />
 
  +
<br />The representative of said team, Imya, fearfully approaches me
 
  +
<br />
… What sort of game is this?
 
  +
<br />“Are you sure?” (Imya)
 
  +
<br />“Yeah, you guys helped spice up the event, and anyways it’s Christmas. It’ll probably be more fun to be with everyone.” (Naofumi)
Like a marionette that got its strings cut, Motoyasu falls off the Filo Rial.
 
  +
<br />“Naofumi, please make sure you don’t overdo it.” (Rafatalia)
 
  +
<br />“It’s fine, isn’t it? Events are made to be enjoyed. Hmm… I need to think of a reward for the scouting team as well” (Naofumi)
 
  +
<br />*Sigh* (Rafatalia)
“Mo-kun!”
 
  +
<br />
 
  +
<br />As I say this, Rafatalia holds her head as if stressed.
”Mou-chan!”
 
  +
<br />
 
  +
<br />“Imya” (Naofumi)
“Motoyasu!”
 
  +
<br />“What is it?” (Imya)
 
  +
<br />“A while ago, your uncle taught me how to make your home town’s specialty. As a reward, I’ll make it specially for today.” (Naofumi)
 
  +
<br />“Ah, thank you” (Imya)
The three Filo Rials shout out into the winter sky.
 
  +
<br />
 
  +
<br />Well it’s quite a strange dish, and I don’t think I can serve it in front of everyone.
 
  +
<br />So I’ll just make some for the Lumo members of the scouting team that worked especially hard this month.
“What the hell are you doing!?” (Filo Rials)
 
  +
<br />They contributed a lot, so I’ll give them a sort of pre-celebration.
 
  +
<br />
“That’s my line!” (Kiel)
 
  +
<br />Let’s see the food they like is… well dishes that contain worms and ants. I guess this is what you call a delicacy.
 
  +
<br />If you have the courage to eat it, it’s apparently delicious. Something like that.
 
And the death match between the Filo Rials and Kiel began.
+
<br />It seems to be popular with the Filo Rials and other monsters who are not caught up on the appearance of food.
  +
<br />
 
  +
<br />“I have just returned” (Itsuki)
The result: Kiel eventually abated the anger she had attained from losing her Crepes, and the three Filo Rials left Motoyasu and went off somewhere.
 
  +
<br />“Fueee… What is this?” (Rishia)
 
  +
<br />
 
  +
<br />Rishia and Itsuki arrive with bad timing.
“Really. What the hell are these people doing so early in the morning…”
 
  +
<br />These two people had gone on a journey to see the world, and had left at the end of the wave.
 
  +
<br />They stopped back regularly, but no one told me they would be here for Christmas.
 
  +
<br />Rishia stares at the strange dish in fear. It seems that she is still a scaredy-cat.
I feel surprisingly worn out.
 
  +
<br />These two are surrounded by a lovely aura. I don’t want to approach them.
 
  +
<br />
Motoyasu being Motoyasu, I can’t believe that he didn’t think of the consequences of plundering Kiel’s food supply.
 
  +
<br />“Do you plan to turn this Holy night into an unholy one?” (Naofumi)<ref>Again, same pun</ref>
 
  +
<br />“Or course not. Is there a band around, I would like for some Hymns to be sung.” (Itsuki)
 
  +
<br />“…” (Naofumi)
“Uu… I wanted to give them to everyone for Christmas and yet…” (Kiel)
 
  +
<br />
 
  +
<br />Itsuki gives an answer befitting of his character.
“So you were planning such things as well.” (Naofumi)
 
  +
<br />
 
  +
<br />“Melty and her subjects aren’t here. You’ll have to make do with the townsfolk. If you want someone to sing, ask Firo.” (Naofumi)
“Of course Niichan. But that spear guy… he…” (Kiel)
 
  +
<br />
 
  +
<br />And so the people preparing for Christmas had a light celebration beforehand.
“He was definitely in the wrong, but you already got your revenge. Were you trying to kill him?” (Naofumi)
 
  +
<br />By the way, Fohl is still sleeping in my house.
 
  +
<br />I mean, he really hates the cold.
“Naofumi-sama, you shouldn’t overexert yourself either.” (Raphtalia)
 
  +
<br />As for food, Sadina caught some large fish in the ocean so there is no problem.
 
  +
<br />
“I understand.” (Naofumi)
 
  +
<br />On that night, the villagers brought ingredients to the shared kitchen, and I cooked them.
 
  +
<br />And like that, the day ended.
 
  +
<br />Oh yes, and Firo did indeed end up singing the Hymns
Raphtalia mutters with the same weary expression as me.
 
  +
<br />
 
Well it’s not as if I don’t understand.
 
 
Why did Motoyasu do such a stupid act…? I don’t get him.
 
 
 
“Oh well. What should I make for the Christmas Feast?” (Naofumi)
 
 
“Yay, Niichan’s cooking. Santa granted my wish!” (Kiel)
 
 
 
The villagers are also in high spirits.
 
 
As expected of Christmas Eve
 
 
It feels more festive than the Christmas of my old world.
 
 
Are these people really just that pure?
 
 
 
“If we’re talking about Christmas, maybe I should prepare Turkey. At least that’s what we did in Japan…” (Naofumi)
 
 
“Bird?!?” (Firo)
 
 
“KKUUUEEEEEEEE?ǃ” (Filo Rials)
 
 
 
The Filo Rials that noticed me staring at them run away as if their lives depended on it.
 
 
I guess there’s no choice. I am used to catching fleeing prey.
 
 
 
“Wait! Raphtalia, don’t let them escape!” (Naofumi)
 
 
“Why should I do that?!” (Raphtalia)
 
 
“For Christmas, you obviously need some sort of bird meatǃ” (Naofumi)
 
 
“But why do we need to use Filo Rials?! Even Firo is running away!” (Raphtalia)
 
 
“I see, then let’s settle for Dragon Meat or something. Go catch something bird-like!” (Naofumi)
 
 
“Kyua!?” (Gaelion)
 
 
 
At that moment, Taniko, Rato, Mii-kun, and Gaelion returned through the Portal.
 
 
My timing was bad, wasn’t it?
 
 
 
“What are you talking about?” (Taniko)
 
 
“Ah, the perfect entrée has arrived. Gaelion, Change into your dragon form and give me your tail.” (Naofumi)
 
 
“Kyuaaaaaaaaaaa?!?!” (Gaelion)
 
 
『What the hell are you thinking?ǃ』(Papa Gaelion)
 
 
“We need some meat for Christmas.” (Naofumi)
 
 
“And why does that require Gaelion’s meat!?” (Taniko)
 
 
“I’ve heard that dragon meat tastes very similar to chicken. If Filo Rial isn’t allowed, then I have no choice but to substitute.” (Naofumi)
 
 
 
I want to prepare something chicken-ish for all of the villagers.
 
 
 
“Naofumi-sama. Please put an end to your bad jokes.” (Raphtalia)
 
 
“Mu… Fine.” (Naofumi)
 
 
 
I kinda wanted to surprise the villagers.
 
 
 
“Ara? You’re stopping?” (Atlas)
 
 
 
Atlas voice comes out of the shield.
 
 
She seems to be trying to defend my position
 
 
But in spirit form, there is not much that she can do.
 
 
If she had a body, I’m pretty sure we could go hunt a Dragon.
 
 
 
“I was just joking. Go buy the ingredients we need for cooking.” (Naofumi)
 
 
 
Everyone gives a relieved sigh and heads off.
 
 
 
“If you don’t find enough, we may have to… substitute…” (Naofumi)
 
 
 
I threaten.
 
 
 
“Let’s go, everyone~!” (Taniko)
 
 
“KUEEE!”
 
 
“KYUAAAAAAǃ”
 
 
“Wait, Gaelion?!”
 
 
“RAFU~!”
 
 
 
In a cloud of dust, the monsters run off towards the village. This experience will be a good wake up call.
 
 
My stance has and will always be ‘Those who do not work do not eat’.
 
 
Is what I think when I realize that the scouting team was late in arriving.
 
 
 
“Ah, you can stay at home tomorrow.” (Naofumi)
 
 
 
The representative of said team, Imya, fearfully approaches me
 
 
 
“Are you sure?” (Imya)
 
 
“Yeah, you guys helped spice up the event, and anyways it’s Christmas. It’ll probably be more fun to be with everyone.” (Naofumi)
 
 
“Naofumi-sama, please make sure you don’t overdo it.” (Raphtalia)
 
 
“It’s fine, isn’t it? Events are made to be enjoyed. Hmm… I need to think of a reward for the scouting team as well.” (Naofumi)
 
 
*Sigh* (Raphtalia)
 
 
 
As I say this, Raphtalia holds her head as if stressed.
 
 
 
“Imya.” (Naofumi)
 
 
“What is it?” (Imya)
 
 
“A while ago, your uncle taught me how to make your hometown’s specialty. As a reward, I’ll make it specially for today.” (Naofumi)
 
 
“Ah, thank youǃ” (Imya)
 
 
 
Well it’s quite a strange dish, and I don’t think I can serve it in front of everyone.
 
 
So I’ll just make some for the scouting team that worked especially hard this month.
 
 
They contributed a lot, so I’ll give them a sort of pre-celebration.<ref>TL: It says the Scouting team’s Lumo race ルーモ種, but I don’t know how to translate this.</ref>
 
 
Let’s see, the food they like is… well dishes that contain worms and ants. I guess this is what you call a delicacy.
 
 
If you have the courage to eat it, it’s apparently delicious. Something like that.
 
 
It seems to be popular with the Filo Rials and other monsters who are not caught up on the appearance of food.
 
 
 
“I have just returned.” (Itsuki)
 
 
“Fueee… What is this?” (Rishia)
 
 
 
Rishia and Itsuki arrive with bad timing.
 
 
These two people had gone on a journey to see the world, and had left at the end of the wave.
 
 
They stopped back regularly, but no one told me they would be here for Christmas.
 
 
Rishia stares at the strange dish in fear. It seems that she is still a scaredy-cat.
 
 
These two are surrounded by a lovely aura. I don’t want to approach them.
 
 
 
“Do you plan to turn this Holy night into an unholy one?” (Naofumi)
 
 
“Or course not. Is there a band around? I would like for some Hymns to be sung.” (Itsuki)
 
 
“…” (Naofumi)
 
 
 
Itsuki gives an answer befitting of his character.
 
 
 
“Melty and her subjects aren’t here. You’ll have to make do with the townsfolk. If you want someone to sing, ask Firo.” (Naofumi)
 
 
 
And so, the people preparing for Christmas had a light celebration beforehand.
 
 
By the way, Fohl is still sleeping in my house.
 
 
I mean, he really hates the cold.
 
 
As for food, Sadina caught some large fish in the ocean, so there is no problem.
 
 
On that night, the villagers brought ingredients to the shared kitchen, and I cooked them.
 
 
And like that, the day ended.
 
 
Oh yes, and Firo did indeed end up singing the hymns.
