598 Outside Part 12, Even Without Santa Claus.

"Go ahead and be Santa, rather than complain about wanting a gift"

A meadow species (Magner) twirled around in front of me and poked his finger at me. The more you want to hit me, with a refreshing smile.

Looking at the sight, Yut, who was working in the clerk's office, stared blurredly.

But a few seconds later.

There is a light of understanding in my eyes.

This is the only way.

"... money?

"That's the worst answer! But if you'll excuse me."

"I don't have a choice..."

Yut took a few gold coins out of his pocket and placed them on the desk. Generally speaking, aside, for the two of us right now, we did.

Yet Larsia missed the gold coin with heartfelt joy.

"It's such a pleasure to get a present."

"... if I paid you, wouldn't it have been a mechanism for you to come home"

"I'm not leaving! I'd rather sit down!

If he has no choice, Yut enters a listening attitude again.

The archmage (Archmage), who stepped on the number of places as an expert against Larsia, knew in his experience that listening to the story was the best measure.

"I mean. I think we should do Christmas here."

"... is that an illusion? Larsia sounded like she was handing out presents."

Yuut imagines Larsia dressed as Santa Claus sneaking into the house and leaving her presents behind.

As a bandit (Rogue), there is no place where you can't break into Larsia, who holds the highest power and also manipulates a scientific spell. If you reindeer Yut or Yona using Moment Move (Teleport), it would be impossible to distribute presents to the rest of the world overnight… just on your own, but there was no doubt that you were fit.

"No, no. If Christmas is popular over here, I have a feeling about big business. Don't?"

"Well, I will... Trying to make it popular from above, there's nothing I can do about it."

I'm not saying that Yut has never considered an event like Christmas either......

But to the reason I have just spoken, if I may add another, I had reserved myself to the concept with concern for cultural acts of aggression.

As it may be said now, there is a history that Christmas itself began with the annexation of Mitral festivals.

I didn't feel like spreading such a Christmas to the Brewers.

- But.

"But Yut. Speaking of Christmas and New Year, it was one of the biggest events of my childhood, wasn't it?

"Well yes...... You heard it from Zhuyin."

Larsia tells me very unambiguously, but the facts are facts.

Christmas presents and old balls are a great opportunity to get what you want for kids who are short of cash income.

It's not what I found out about my parents' wallets, it's what I used to do with soccer balls and spikes. As for the console, I have never chosen it as a gift because I would buy it from Zhu Yan's father, the loyal one.

Such, old warm memories have rapidly returned.

"Think about it. If we make Christmas popular in Falve now, by the time Yut's kids grow up, we'll be celebrating normally, right?

"Oh, you know..."

"Yes. Yut can't just give the kids a Christmas present."

Again, Larsia twirls a spin and pokes her finger.

"I can give you an event called Christmas."

Proceed and become Santa.

It led to an unintelligible word that Larsia put out.

"Until Christmas time, once, there's still about two months..."

"Time doesn't matter. Do it or not. What do you want me to do?

"Do it."

Let's do it.

That's what happened.

"Let's do it."

Regina, who saw the proposed Christmas plan put together beforehand by Yut, ran out with firm determination.

Being the councillor of Hardenturm, whose backbone is commerce, she is like the head of a house slayer who does all sorts of unscrupulous things.

Where such a Regina had received a call from Yut and was in a sense war-torn, what was presented was the perfect plan for the current Duke of Istas territory.

There is no option to miss this.

"As you can see, we are looking for an opportunity to consume the entire Duke's territory."

"I have a festival in Istas, and I'm not going to have the opportunity..."

"All you have to do is have it"

They weren't enough yet.

The good economy, which has thrown down large quantities of gold coins earned from adventure, is still going on.

As wages rise and lives stabilize, the fear is that they will be saved up without a place to consume. That's no longer currency, it's just metal.

"More importantly, it's good to have more fun"

"I think you're gonna have a lot of trouble for that, though?

Yuut, who thought even from next year if it seemed impossible, confirmed his intentions again as he sat back on the sofa in the reception space.

Keep it from yourself. What, but if you're too positive, that makes me anxious.

"I have the pleasure of counting the gold coins I earn."

Regina, however, kicked her ass with a slight smile.

"As a abstract, to exchange gifts, create an atmosphere in illumination and Christmas trees. And a lavish meal to celebrate...... and is this the place?

"Oh. Dinner and cake might as well be considered separately"

"I see. You can also think of the demand for sweet things alone."

Regina will write down the sugar, flour, fruit and the supplies she is likely to need in a paper notebook made in the Dragon Man (Draconut).

"When it comes to illumination, let's do something about it over here"

"Yes, please"

Rather than in yut......, yut is the only way I can do it.

"I will solicit ideas at the council when it comes to what I deserve as a gift"

"If that's the case, I'll ask the Dwarves in Mainz to help too."

"Yes, let me rely on you"

It was also decided to confirm from Regina to Acorn regarding the Christmas-like menu. From there, it must be deployed through the Council.

"Then...... Well, there was a bonus before Christmas."

"Bonus......?

"A bonus, like a lump sum to be reimbursed to employees depending on the company's performance…"

"I see. That's going to make me feel bigger before the festival"

It's not overnight money, but humans, with gold coins, think about how to use it.

I mean, the more money you have, the better.

"I don't know if this can be introduced soon this year, but I think there's a lot of room for consideration"

"Sure, it's hard at the same time as Christmas"

It's going to be a completely different problem, and I would suddenly tell you to let it out and you can't let it out.

"You can cut taxes for the bonus, but then, I wonder if I can distribute it from us. In the form of gift certificates that can only be used during the Christmas period"

"If it's cash, it could be saved, but I was wondering if there's anything wrong with that."

The name should be given appropriately for festive celebrations or whatever.

And there's know-how in preventing tickets from being forged with militant hanging tags.

"Human beings, all things cylons, horses, or whatever."

"As a Christmas event, we're hosting another militancy."

"Because I won't."

If Exile or Larsia or Valtrude or Jonah asks, it's until it's held at its worst. Half of the parties were traitors. That's crazy.

"If so..."

"Anything?"

"I don't mean instead, do you say, if there's anything like so-called, it's enough?"

Just a celebration of the Winter Solstice is somewhat weak.

More worthy to consume... Regina says she wants a reason to feel like celebrating.

I could understand that too Yut, but the beginning is difficult just for the beginning.

"I don't know, I can't even make it up."

"As it goes on for a long time, it is also believed that it will settle with nature. Even if it doesn't bother you that much."

"No. But I'll keep it in mind because it's definitely important.... If I talk to Arcia, can I get some good advice?

But that won't be fulfilled.

No way, because I couldn't even have guessed Yut would come from the other side.

Perhaps you should have been prepared.

Far, far back in the day.

In one forest, two brothers and sisters lived.

The brothers and sisters who lost their parents early spent their days working together poorly but well without being indispensable to thank the Goddess of the Forest.

The Goddess of the Woods was watching over the two of them, but I can't do anything more for you.

Because the blue covenant (Brewers) made by God had commanded unwarranted help to those who lived on earth.

Promises must be kept.

But the Goddess of the Woods wanted to do something for you as she watched over her poor brothers and sisters.

So I talked to the other gods, and in exchange for not giving them the name of Goddess of the Forest, I asked them to acknowledge the help.

It's important that we all discuss it.

Winter solstice night.

The Goddess of the Forest appeared in her brothers and sisters' dreams as the sun tried to resurrect.

Change your name and appearance.

"I am the goddess of the woods... use of, Santa Claus. Always watching over you guys'

My brothers and sisters were surprised by words I never thought I would say, and I was very pleased.

"I gave you a tree (Christmas tree). When you wake up from your dreams, take a look in the garden '

A Christmas tree is, what is it?

Both of us living in the woods are trees we've never heard of.

But it's a tree that Santa Claus, the goddess of the woods, gives away. Must be a nice tree, I'm sure.

"If you spend the next year correctly, the Momo tree (Christmas tree) will bear fruit the morning after the Winter Solstice Day."

I've never heard of anything like fruiting on a set day.

My brothers and sisters admire that that is the special tree of the Goddess of the Forest.

"Blue fruit contains my brother and red fruit contains what my sister wants most"

Besides, don't you say it's not just fruit?

"You have to stay right without losing sight of what's really important."

The siblings, at the same time, woke their eyes.

When you never go out into the garden, Christmas trees in the cold air. It had a mound tree the size of a height.

That dream, it was real.

They thanked Santa Claus, the goddess and servant of the forest, and vowed to their hearts to live more correctly than usual.

It was unchanged and poor, but I look forward to a gift from the Goddess of the Forest, which will not bitter at all.

And a year goes by.

Decorated with beautiful stones and cloth, we waited for the morning after the winter solstice to decorate the Momomi tree (Christmas tree).

Then, as the Goddess of the Forest said, there were blue and red fruits.

When I opened the blue fruit in two, it contained beautiful, warm looking clothes.

But it's too small for my brother to likely wear it.

When I opened the red fruit in two, it contained a fine bow.

But my sister is unlikely to be able to pull it off.

Has Master Santa Claus made a mistake?

No, that's not true.

said my brother.

"Oh. Here it is, these clothes. My usual clothes seem thin and cold, and I wanted to do something about it."

said my sister.

"Thank you, Goddess. I wanted my brother to use a stronger bow."

The Goddess of the Woods gave her brothers and sisters the gift they deserved.

The brothers and sisters swapped gifts from the Goddess of the Woods and vowed to live right again for the next year.

Congratulations, congratulations.

"Made a story called -"

"I'm out of creativity."

In my dreams, Yut was witnessing the story of his poor brothers and sisters.

It was Liya, the goddess of beauty and art, who appeared behind it.

Before a simple Christmas tree and the appearance of a still poor brother and sister, Riya God begins to explain.

"I have no choice. Yes, because there is no convenient inheritance."

"Well, if God made it, myth in a way...... is it?

From time to time, I wondered if moral complaints would come in, but it would be a preferred element if it were for children. At least it's easier to understand than the story of the Son of God being born and the wise coming to the gift.

"It was Dr. Acorn who made it."

"... is that it?"

"I was also asked to respond to a request from Effilroth to improve my image"

"My daughter-in-law is too competent"

Not only is it moral, but the exchange of gifts and the name of Christmas are well embedded in the point.

Not only that, but the image of Effilroth, the maiden of the woods, although not explicitly stated, could certainly have improved.

"Somehow, you have a similar name."

I feel that making Santa Claus the use of Effilroth would be a cultural invasion that Yut was concerned about, but we decide to think of it as mutual.

"But, Riya, what the hell is God doing?

"I'm a position as good as an editor."

"... I mean?

"It's my job to spread the teacher's work"

In short, I guess that means I took a ride on Yut's Christmas plan.

By spreading this story through the Temple of Riya, an event called Christmas is also anchored, leading to an image enhancement of Effilroth, and the Riya God also penetrates the story of Acorn.

It was originally a religious event, so I don't feel uncomfortable.

It's a plan that no one loses.

However, as a result of the work carried out in the upstream process, there is no doubt that there has been another increase in downstream Yut's work.

...... but there was no discontent color in yut circling the simple christmas tree.

"In the meantime, I have to thank you."

"... unexpected"

"I'm used to being busy, and it just helps that God doesn't come out directly and make weird requests. Really, it's serious there."

"This is the real seller..."

I wanted to deny it, but I couldn't.

So the dream came to an end.

Waking up, Yut was ready to send scenarios to the bard (Byrd) and officials of the theatre of the god of beauty, and also arranged for performances at the elementary school. Hopefully, starting next year, it will be accompanied by a request for the students to perform.

Tertione seemed pretty annoying, but I'm well aware it's a superficial thing. As if nothing had happened, I pushed it off.

Other preparations were also made, but in the meantime the normal business does not disappear. Even with the help of my father and Dal-Lukash, it became a roundabout schedule.

And a winter solstice day to welcome.

The night before that, Yut was finally released.

"Finally, it's over..."

At the end of the last check, Yut left his body behind the back of the chair.

But Yut doesn't have the color of relief.

They took the time to prepare for the Christmas event itself, and they didn't have one of their presents. If you think calmly, isn't this pretty bad?

For once, I plan to leave the city in the name of the inspection, so I was thinking of choosing with you then.

- Though.

"Brave man, now, what do you say?

"Hmm?"

In the office, it is rare for acorns to come.

I don't think of any particular errands, I don't think of rejecting them, etc.

"Oh. Because we're just finishing up. Why, all three of us?

But I couldn't hide my surprise that I had come all the way to Valtrude and Arcia as well as Acorn.

"Tomorrow I guess we'll follow through, so we'll all talk about it now."

"Yes, yes. I'll give it to you while I can."

"I just wanted to be the first, so you don't have to worry too much"

If you say so much, you'll notice Yut, too.

"Could it be Christmas's...?

If you noticed, the date was just changing.

"Well, let me give it to you, shall I?

"No, that's right, the three of us wouldn't be able to do this size thing, would we?

"Val, just keep practicing. That's not gonna happen."

The three of them have offered a little cramped, beautifully wrapped little box.

A little early Christmas present.

"Oh, thank you"

"Heh heh. Yut's surprised."

"That yut... Sometimes, that's good stuff."

"Right? Like I said, right?

Three people laughing at each other for doing it.

Very attractive and eye-catching.

"Uh... Can I open it?

"Of course."

But I didn't want to be enlightened by such emotions, and Yut was forced to turn his consciousness towards the gift.

Focus on putting it on the butler desk, looking down and stripping the wrapping clean.

In a few minutes, the identity of the present was revealed.

It was perfume.

"The three of us went out for a little while, and we came to the fragrance together."

"I didn't realize..."

That's not impossible either.

Because Yut has been busy with the chase here.

So, the mystery was solved.

"I mean, I set up a surprise while I was busy... No, you gave me a job to surprise."

To Yut, there is no anger emotion.

Instead, I was impressed.

"Hmm. It doesn't have any particular magical effect, it's just something that smells good."

"It's an annual Christmas present, and I chose not to get too heavy."

"Mm-hmm. We've done very little, so thank you goes mainly to acorns"

"No, you can't. It's just a gift from the three of us."

"Yes, Val. 'Cause next year you're going to be the center of your choices."

"Really? I'm not listening."

That, Yut laughed only in his heart that stoppers Arcia and Acorn seemed to have more difficulty.

Yes. The expression must be solemn only.

"Ah. I'm not prepared at all..."

"It's okay, it's okay. It's part of the operation."

"... hey, I don't know what that means"

Normally, would you have a partner to laugh and flush by forgetting your gift?

"'Cause a brave man's gonna do everything he can to pick a present, isn't he?

"Well, you're not usually clueless."

"Every year, if we get engagement rings and wedding ring-level gifts, it's tough for each other, isn't it?

"No. Every time, you have trouble expecting that level..."

I'm not clueless about choosing, but of course, it's within common sense.

That's what Yut thought, but Valtrude and Arcia didn't even look at me.

"Ugh, yeah......"

I mean, it seemed like he hit the lead and prepared a simple but heartfelt gift and showed standards.

"So I hope you don't use your Christmas present anymore."

"You haven't been a choice like a wedding drawer?

I guess it's fine in the sense of reducing the burden, but what about romantically?

"That's okay, Yut."

Alcia speaks with a smile when she is the Mother of Mercy to Yut.

"We've already got plenty."

Naturally, Valtrude and Acorn agree.

"... In the meantime, I'll thank you for using this perfume. Thanks."

That was the best I could say.

Besides, there are other ways to convey daily gratitude than things and words.

They're actually at a distance to each other.

After Christmas, and since then, a vial of perfume has always been placed on Yut's desk.

Minor changes.

But the impact is huge.

"Yut, you're always looking at a bottle of perfume, but you haven't forgotten that I was the one who inspired you to get it, have you?

"Of course."

Even if Larsia comes to the office, Yut doesn't have one disgusting face.

Rather, there was even an atmosphere of welcome.

"I appreciate it. I'm over it."

"Lightly. It's going to fly just like that. Help me, I'm scared the other way around when Yut is floating!?"

He said he could deal with what he called his best friend's words by calling himself, at his leisure.
