Christmas (2)

The only virtue of our academy exam is that the results come out quickly.

As soon as the day dawned, I moved to the front of the bulletin board and was able to face the very satisfactory result.

As soon as I looked up, Medusha noticed my name and said with a small applause.

“Congratulations, Louise. You’re in second grade.”

“Thanks to Persia.”

I praised him with all my sincerity.

It’s the test scores, the practical subjects are much bigger, but…

The fight for the top rank in grade 5 or less is decided by the written test.

After all, if you get to the top, your practical skills are almost perfect.

This grade also has the merit of getting a perfect score in the group assignment of the Summoning Theory Test.

The guy who had been sticking out his chest at my compliments asked carefully.

“Master, can you give me that pocket money then?”

“Payment? Do you have anything you want?”

“It’s Christmas soon. I have to buy presents in advance…”

“Of course you should.”

As I was speaking, I pulled out my wallet and handed out pocket money.

If I shopped at the shop owned by the Duke of Beltern, I wouldn’t need anything like this… but I didn’t want to be rude even on Christmas Day.

Sylvia, who had accepted her share, muttered with a slightly puzzled expression.

“Isn’t this the end of the day to buy a gift with the owner’s money?”

“Oh, no. Because the heart is important… Sylvia You don’t usually get paid, so don’t worry about it.”

“Thank you, Master. I will definitely find a present that you will like.”

“Then let’s leave right now! We’ll meet at the villa in the evening.”

When Medusha spoke, everyone except me formed three to five pairs and dispersed.

Well, it’s to buy my present, but I’m not even going to accompany it.

After being left in solitude for a while, I returned to the villa.

“Master, may I go out with you?”

“Sure.”

I left my belongings from the dormitory and was about to go shopping again, but on rare occasions, a maid dressed in outdoor clothes was waiting for me in the hallway.

I usually stick to the very classic of maid clothes. Fashion that seems to fit the fashion of the capital today.

It is an outfit that shows off a voluptuous yet healthy body.

However, he did not forget the hat that covered his ears and hair.

After leaving the villa and moving to a high-end shopping district, we carefully selected everyone’s gifts.

The employees of the villa were not long acquainted with it, but they ended up being gilded…

There were more than five vassals waiting at El Cloud Mansion.

In addition to the summons, you have to buy gifts from Princess Elena, Christine, and Maria.

When I see a decent item, the waitress who sweeps it tells me as if reassuring me.

“Don’t think too deeply about it. The fact that giving and receiving gifts is important… Christmas gifts don’t have to be too luxurious.”

“Your maid too?”

When I respond rudely, the maid shows a shaky expression on her face, and then smiles lightly.

“You’ve just become a playboy.”

“I’m not a flirt.”

I continued shopping with a very strange feeling.

At this time last year, the number of gifts was much smaller, and the budget wasn’t even comparable…

It’s completely different now.

How can a person’s life change so much in just one year?

After using all the time until dinner to choose a present for everyone, the last thing left was the waitress.

After thinking for a while, I picked up the sake recommended by the clerk at the store in Beltern.

“…is it northern sake?”

“You like it.”

A kind similar to the one treated by the owner of the Ice Citadel.

The maid, who raised her eyes slightly at my choice, turned her head slightly.

Did you ever think you would stay under one roof and not be found out?

This is one of the few hobbies of the handmaiden.

She nodded her head slightly, affirming the suspicion, and folded her arms.

“Instead, you should have a drinking partner.”

“Ah…”

An unexpected option was attached, but I couldn’t refuse it.

Upon returning to the villa as it is, the summoned beasts who arrived first chatter happily.

“Master, are there still three days left until Christmas?”

“How could you wait until then…”

“Can’t you just open my present first?”

“Beep!”

As soon as they comforted the impatient guys, Maria and Christine came in.

The academy’s dormitory has not been closed yet, but they also decided to stay here until Christmas.

At the end of the semester, I enjoy oversleeping, which I couldn’t even dream of. After enjoying the winter vacation, it is Christmas day.

As soon as the sun rose, we gathered in the living room of the villa and distributed our gift boxes.

“Wow, how many of these are…”

“Can I open it now?”

“Louis. Open my present first!”

As Medusha requested, I opened the long box first.

When the luxurious wrapping paper was removed, a white wooden cane was revealed.

The head of a hawk is engraved on the handle.

“cane?”

“Yeah. Didn’t you usually complain that you weren’t too dignified? It would be better if you had this.”

I couldn’t resist Medusha’s expectations, so I pointed at the staff.

Even a cane is not an unnecessarily large or long object.

As if it was made to fit my height, the length just came to the waist.

First off, I like the feel of it.

However, pointing at the cane did not bring about an absent dignity.

Everyone except Medusha is desperately holding back their laughter.

“Obviously, it’s an artifact-class object. Lewis might be learning classical magic in sophomore year, so I prepared something that would help him use magic.”

“Thank you, Medusa. I like it. I’ll write it well.”

As soon as she captures one, Laurie pushes the next one.

What appeared this time was none other than women’s underwear.

Medusha criticizes him for a gift that doesn’t fit even if he pretends to be the size.

“Did you buy yours with the money you gave to buy Louise’s present?”

“Why are you so hot? This is a Lewis gift.”

“What?”

A guy who smiles meaningfully as he puts his boldly designed underwear in front of his body.

Medusha, who realized the meaning of the words too late, tried to use Petrification’s Gaze.

Meanwhile, Maria and Christine presented an artifact set.

Not for me, but for my summons.

It is a composition that considers cost-effectiveness, but there are so many types.

In the second year, I will be teaching a class using artifacts, so it will be useful.

“This must be quite expensive…”

“So you two bought it together.”

“Uh, what else is that? Where is the color you see a lot?”

Protruding from Elena’s box is a very warm scarf.

Because the texture and color are strangely familiar, it was made with Persian fur.

They probably squeezed it themselves, but the build quality is so good that it doesn’t look any different from the ones they sell.

“How could this…”

“I collected the missing hair and made it into thread. I hope you like it…”

“You’re very talented. By the way, did your guy shed enough hair to get another scarf?”

“Wow. What a nice hat. Thank you, Master.”

Persia, who found the northern hat that I had prepared, pointed her head downward and said.

Letty was slightly excited when she saw the equipment that was tailored to the size of Tangerine Rice Cake.

With a small sigh, Medusha said to Persia like a favor.

“Come on, try it. Today, I’ll make you a special humanoid. It’s my Christmas present.”

“Hey. Do you eat very raw?”

“Master. Mine too…”

After spending the entire morning exchanging gifts, we decided to wander around town to see an opera.

The gift that Elfriede prepared is a ticket for a special Christmas performance at the Royal Theatre.

Originally, it was an item that had to be reserved one year in advance.

Besides, I can’t even dream of getting them in units of 10.

Once we escaped the villa to have lunch, we saw a busy street like a festival.

There were usually not a lot of people, but today there are more.

Familiar students are sparsely seen all over the street.

There was less than a week left until Christmas from the time the final exams were over, so it seems like we have delayed our return home a little bit.

It wasn’t long before I understood their choices.

Although Christmas festivals were held in their hometowns, it is impossible to compare them to the capital city.

Is it because it is the land where Eshas resides?

After enjoying the heat that is not like a winter street, it is already evening.

The special Christmas performance that Elfriede booked was much better than I expected.

I was worried that it would be too hard and boring because it was being played at none other than the Royal Theatre… I reinterpreted it in my own way.

but. If I didn’t reach a certain level, I wouldn’t have been able to perform on stage in the first place.

“Today, you really played without a circle.”

“Enjoy a lot. Winter break might be a little boring.”

If it snows outside the mansion of your hometown, you can’t do anything.

Of course, I am planning to move to Yeongjuseong soon.

As I entered the alley back to the villa with an unfamiliar cane, the man who had been sitting on the sidewalk looked at me and blinked his eyes.

Seeing this in the capital, I thought I was a beggar, so I took out my wallet for a while.

Medusha and Laurie, who found him, were silently blocking my way.

“Yes?”

“Stand back, Louise. He’s no ordinary guy.”

When the maid, who was relatively behind, stepped forward, the man on the other side showed an unpleasant smile and bowed his head.

The hood made it difficult to see his face, but now that he sees it, he is quite tall and bulky.

It’s a waste of my physique to beg on the street.

“Who are you?”

“Long time no see, Your Majesty. He disappeared without a word, and we were so worried…”

“Lung, Your Majesty?”

The two eyes under the hood were looking inward, not my face.

The pupil of a beast that glows in the dark.

It took me a while to realize that he had pointed out the Demon King.

“no way…”

“Are you a demon?”

“Stop there. If you come any closer, I won’t look at you.”

Medusha warned with a sharp gaze and voice, but it was already too late.

It’s like there’s no such thing as such a distance for A-rank or higher summons.

The demon lord within me has not said anything yet.

“By the way… you’ve gotten weaker a lot lately, haven’t you?”

He slowly raised his head, which had been bowed deeply, and made a creepy voice.

The corners of his mouth under the hood are so bent that they look like they are about to tear.

In the tense tension, Seok-hwa’s gaze pierced the alley.

“Shut up! Seeing you talk nonsense with your face hidden, you’re not a proud guy at all!”

The shape hit by the stone’s gaze was scattered as it was.

It looks like they sent something like an alter ego from the beginning.

A flash of light exploded in one corner of the night sky so that the maid who snatched my arm was afraid to run to the villa.

I wanted to do some kind of fireworks display… but I can feel a powerful magical reaction in the flash.

That’s a beacon that transcends dimensions, the light of a lighthouse.

“Summon signal?”

“Someone is calling the beings of another dimension.”

I never had a good feeling because I had just been through something strange.

But on the other hand, I also want to know what it is.

From the beginning, all the arrogant bastards crawl into this dimension.

Of course, not all of them are friendly to people.

“Come here sometime, okay?”

Christine, who seemed to have reached the same thought as me, snorted and muttered.

Not anywhere else, but summoning the kingdom’s guardian dragon to the place where it resides.

Even if my mouth is torn, I can’t even make a wise choice.

From n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲

Just as expected.

In the distance, a white giant began to soar above the lights of the royal palace.

An elegant swim like swimming, not flying.

Citizens cheer as the white scales reflect the street lights.

“Hey, Eshas-sama!”

“The guardian dragon of the kingdom is out!”

“Usually he doesn’t come even if he’s dead, but today is Christmas, so they’re dispatched right away.”

Medusha mumbles half and half of aniko and half of relief.

No matter how much Eshas, a summoning signal has risen from the outskirts of the capital, but he can’t sit still.

Those aren’t just one or two summoned beasts, they’re only used when summoning troops from another world.

A flare spell flew after Eshas, clearing the darkness of the night sky.

We watched the white dragon fly with our spines stiff.
