Part 6

As the presents were revealed one by one, Yukine, an Occult Research Club member, received a power stone from Merl. She examined it with interest.

“…This is amazing! I can feel the cosmos!”

“You’re lying, right!?”

Don’t tell me she realized it was a mineral from outer space!

“Merl, thank you. I’m very happy.”

Merl smiled at Yukine’s words.

If they’re both happy, then it’s not my place to say anything.

I’d been paying attention to everyone else and hadn’t opened my present yet.

Besides me, the only other people who hadn’t opened their presents were Kaori and Lexia-san.

But my box was really big… I wonder what’s inside.

“Which present should we open first?”

I muttered as I took out my present.

“What… is this!?”

“Oh? What did you get, Yuuya?”

Ryo asked as I froze.

“It’s…”

“Huh?”

“…It’s a set of daily necessities!”

“What!?”

That’s right! I received a gift pack containing tissues, toilet paper, detergent, and other daily necessities.

I’m so happy! I’m incredibly happy!

Seeing how happy I am, Ryo asked me with a wry smile,

“I-Is it really that exciting?”

“Of course! It’s full of daily necessities!”

“Sorry, I don’t get it at all…”

Unfortunately, Ryo didn’t seem to understand how happy I was.

But that’s okay. These are things I’ll definitely use!

Seeing my reaction, Kaori spoke up.

“Th-That gift was from me…”

“From Kaori? Oh, right! Looking closely, I see that these are all expensive items!”

I just realized that even the tissues and toilet paper were high-end brands—things I would never buy for myself.

I see. I was a little suspicious that the wealthy Kaori would choose this, but I understand why she would choose a set of high-end daily necessities.

“Kaori, thank you! I’m really happy.”

“Um… I’m happy that you’re so happy, Yuuya-san.”

As I expressed my gratitude, Kaori blushed and smiled.

Seeing the exchange between us, Lexia-san pouted.

“Eh! I wanted Yuuya-sama to accept my gift!”

“And what about you?”

“Oh, right! Mine is…this!”

Lexia said, taking out the mug I had bought.

“That’s the one I brought.”

“Yuuya-sama’s? Yay!”

Lexia was extremely happy when she realized that I was the one who had bought the present.

W-Was that really what made her so happy?

It’s just a mug with a design that anyone could use, along with an aroma candle and soap.

As I thought that, Lexia looked at Luna smugly.

“How about it, Luna? Jealous?”

“Unfortunately, I already have the god of love, so you’re no match for me.”

“What did you say!?”

Lexia started teasing Luna, who shot back. Their usual banter began.

As I smiled wryly at the two of them, Kaori finally opened her present.

“Wow… It’s so cute!”

She was holding a handkerchief and a simple pouch.

“This is from Lexia-san, right?”

“Yes! I chose them as soon as I saw them!”

“Well, I was the one who suggested the handkerchief and pouch.”

“That’s fine! I picked the pattern!”

Oh, I see.

I met up with Lexia-san and the others at a cosplay costume shop, so I didn’t know what shops they had visited…

I guess Lexia couldn’t decide, so Luna made a suggestion, and she went along with it.

As I watched the two of them, Kaori smiled.

“Thank you! I’ll take good care of it.”

In any case, the gift exchange ended smoothly.

It was fun to see what everyone chose. I hope we can do it again next year!

“All right! I’ve got more games ready, so let’s keep playing!”

“Yay!”

──And so, they had a fun Christmas party.

＊＊＊

While Yuna and the others were enjoying their Christmas party,

King Arnold and Owen were having a conversation in the Kingdom of Arcelia.

“It’s quiet…”

“Yes, it is.”

Owen nodded in agreement.

Suddenly, Arnold began shaking his shoulders and shouting.

“It’s not quiet! Why hasn’t Lexia come back yet?”

“That’s because she’s studying abroad in Yūya’s world, of course.”

“I know that! But it’s almost the end of the year! It’s about time she came back to see us!”

“It just means she’s enjoying her life there.”

“Are you saying that life with me is boring?”

“Ugh, this is so annoying! This king!”

Arnold’s reaction made Owen hold his head in his hands.

“It’s fine! No news is good news, right?”

“How can you say that without seeing her? Isn’t the New Year supposed to be a time for families to be together? If so, then she should come back!”

“Well, it’s only been a year since she left to study abroad. She’s probably experiencing New Year’s in a different world.”

“No, no! I won’t allow it! She has to spend New Year’s with me!”

“You can’t just throw a tantrum like that…”

Sitting on the throne, Owen sighed as he watched Arnold act like a child.

Then, Arnold suddenly looked up.

“That’s it!”

“What is it?”

“If Lexia isn’t coming back, I’ll go there myself!”

“What are you talking about, old man?”

“O-Old man?! That’s disrespectful to the king! Besides, you’re not that much younger than me!”

“Old man is good enough! Do you understand? To go to another world, we have to go to Yuuya-dono’s house!”

“I know that.”

“No, you don’t! Yuuya-dono’s house is in the Great Devil’s Nest. It’s not that easy to get there!”

“That’s where you and the soldiers will have to work hard!”

“Don’t be ridiculous, you king! It’s impossible!”

“Uuuuugghhhh!”

“Grumbling won’t help. With our abilities, traveling to and from the Great Devil’s Nest is impossible.”

“With such strength, is our country really safe?”

“It’s fine. The Great Devil’s Nest is the only exception. Stop talking nonsense and get back to work! Otherwise, we’ll all be stuck here for the new year!”

“Ugh… Someday, I’ll go to that other world!”

…And so, peaceful times continued in the Kingdom of Arcelia.
