566 [Christmas 2021 S/S] This Year We Are All Together.
Everything came to mind.
Unusually, this year, many knights and waiters came home and wanted a vacation, and the castle was idle every year.
As a result, there was only the minimum number of personnel left, and everyone was surprised by the tranquility as they walked through the castle.
--- With that in mind, everyone was energized by what King Sylvard muttered in the hall.
We're going to have a Christmas party in the courtyard.
All knights and servants took part in it.
Everyone who heard this thought, "It will be difficult."
But at the same time, I thought, "I would definitely like to try it."
The problem is that it was on Christmas morning that Sylvard crushed the words.
This is not enough time to prepare.
... I think it should be common sense,
"Is that my turn?"
At this time, there was a cat more comfortable than anyone else.
I'm sure there's never been a day when she was as glorious as today.
Ein had forgotten the words of the dead cat in his appearance.
Katima was in the hall sometime.
Ain asks her.
What's the plan?
"I'll leave the decoration and everything else to you." "After that, the ingredients are going to be tough."
"Katima, now that I've decorated it--"
"Please don't worry." "I've got something for you in my Mansion, so I'll bring it to you."
"... why are you so prepared?"
"There's a time when I was actually going to decorate the castle as a cake." That's why I'm going to do it today. "
"That's amazing." Let's forget that you tried to decorate without consulting me. "
Unintentionally blaming Katima for her innocence, she was in a very good mood.
But Ein is still anxious.
I wonder if we'll be able to cook in time.
The usual parties are often prepared a few days in advance, depending on their wishes.
However, it is already the morning of the party, and the process of preparing is not even shared by everyone in the first place, which is exactly a state of exploration.
But Katima didn't think it was a problem.
"I'm just saying stupid things."
Katima shrugged and incited Ain.
"I have a grandma and Martha, so don't worry about them." That's why I didn't say that cooking was tough, but that the ingredients were tough. "
"... oh, I see"
"That's why I want you to come and hunt for monsters in the airship."
I thought it was sudden again, but Ein was going to do it soon.
When he saw Sylvard's face, he nodded without disagreement.
"We have to work for everyone who has stayed in the castle." I can't afford to do anything for these parties, and I can't say it's the duty of royalty. "
"I understand." Then I'll go now. "
Having said that, Ain left the castle without making any special preparations.
Along the road leading to the castle gate, he looked behind him and said, "Ain-sama!" Chris's voice arrived.
She stopped at her voice and turned around, stopping beside Ein.
Why, are you really going hunting monsters right now?!
"Yeah. I felt like I was leaving the King's City on an airship." I have to go home after noon, so I have to hurry. "
"... then, I'll go too." I can show you where the monsters live. "
"Thank you! Well, that's why."
Suddenly, Ein reaches into Chris's body.
When I held her up in the form of a so-called princess hug, I said, "Huh?" He spoke with a pathetic voice.
"Why am I embraced...?"
That's why you're in such a hurry.
"Hurry up... you're cumming!?"
Then, without waiting for a reply, he rushed out vigorously.
On the edge of the capital, Ein quickly left the capital for a party at the castle.
◇◇◇◇
He returned to the castle a little earlier than planned.
Giant monsters that have hunted as normal are quickly beaten and transported under the cook.
Now that Ein's work is done... it's not over.
Naturally, I went to help with work to prepare the party venue.
The venue is outdoors in the courtyard, so there is the question of what to do with the snow.
But Katima was forced to do something with magic tools.
By temporarily covering the sky of the castle with a magic membrane, and instead raining snow with magic power inside, Ain can't catch up with her understanding.
Oh, that's amazing, isn't it?
Ain spoke to Olivia, who was nearby.
"Sister said, this snow is just a little cold when touched, but it seems like it won't melt and wet your clothes and hair."
"I see... it's convenient. Personally, you don't have to bother to let it rain."
"Fufu, maybe." But isn't the snowy scenery beautiful? "
That said, Olivia admired the beauty of such a view.
In particular, the smile that is directed at Ain can be said to be the crystal.
Well, that way next! Here, you carry that ribbon to the right roof! '
From the top of the castle, Katima received a voice to cheer her up.
Thus, the castle is decorated to mimic the cake she had in her mouth.
It gradually changed the castle into a different shape as the night drew near.
Good morning, Ein.
Then, Krone, who was also working in the courtyard to prepare the party venue, came and asked about Ein.
She smiled at Ein, who was also laughing, as she saw everyone preparing happily.
I'm glad we're all having fun.
Yeah. I was surprised when Grandpa first said it, but I'm glad I did.
There! Don't play, work!
The voice that came from above was directed at Ain and Krone.
Hearing Katima's voice through the loudspeaker's magic tool, she didn't just stay with Ain and Krone, she also laughed at Olivia, the knights and waiters who were working nearby.
"... it seems like I shouldn't play, so I'm going to help you up there a bit"
"Yeah, be careful."
Well then, Mother, I'll go.
"Come on, we'll see what Ein is up to from here."
When the two of them saw him off, Ein stepped into the castle and headed up.
The castle, which was supposed to be idle, now looks strangely busy. There was also a smile on the faces of the people in the castle.
◇◇◇◇
Eventually, Ein dyed her face in surprise after dark.
I was surprised to see such a splendid party venue in time.
The snow-covered courtyard is also warm with magic tools, and seats are provided for stand-up parties that are never too cold.
The cramped streets and cuisine lined the numerous tables, which, coupled with the surroundings and the castle decorations, make it an even better party venue.
--And the servant and the knight seem to be having fun.
Seeing that, Ein rejoiced that it was worth the effort.
(How long have I been preparing for that?)
Seeing a giant Christmas tree in the center of the venue, Ein unexpectedly opens her eyes.
Oh, it was in Katima's mansion.
Krone came to Ain and said:
Keep going, Chris comes and says.
"It's amazing... ah, of course, in the sense that I've been hiding it a lot."
Olivia followed suit.
"Your father was shocked." But with your help, I started throwing this party, so this time it seems like I didn't blame you. "
After all, Katima was like selling Sylvard's favor.
It wouldn't be strange if we were allowed to do so this year, and on the contrary, it wouldn't be a bad result if we tried to make it Sylvard and suppressed Katima's behavior to where she could see it.
(Nevertheless, it's too decorative)
The castle was used as a cake decoration, but this was beyond everyone's control.
The White Knight Castle stands out for its numerous spires, all of which are beautifully wrapped in ribbons.
It was a stunning thing, as it pushed through the remaining knights.
"Ein, you've done a great job today."
Then Sylvard, who came with a moody footsteps, said.
He lowered his eyes to see his servants and knights rejoice.
Unlike the usual majestic figure, it was full of kindness.
"I think Grandpa had a hard time too." ---Is that right? Even if you decorate the castle like that. "
"Even if it's just for today." Besides, it's not bad if the people of King's Landing can enjoy it. "
It seems that after his hot spring trip, he has become rough, especially in many ways.
Ein does not talk about the fact, but exchanges glasses with Sylvard to enjoy it together.
"I guess I'll say hello to everyone with Lalalua." Ein and the others are having a good time tonight. "
Sylvard says so, and rendezvous with the nearby Larua.
And as promised, he walked out to work his servants and knights.
... but where is Katima? Ein somehow looked suspiciously for the figure, and his gaze crossed with that of Dill, who was also looking for the figure.
Is Ein-sama there too?
"Yeah, that means Dill didn't even hear about it."
"... yes, I have a bad feeling about that."
I have to agree with Ein.
"If we keep going like this, we should be finished safely with a good story..."
I won't let you do that, Katima.
(I'll look for it a little bit.)
We have to move quickly before we get into trouble.
― ― ― It was a moment of thought.
"Ah, what is that!?"
"Awesome! Beautiful!"
Suddenly, a giant Christmas tree began to glow.
If you think that the ornament has emitted a colorful light, you can use it as a signal to start glowing until the castle is decorated.
And Ain was amazed, and heard the voice of knights and servants rejoicing.
(It was late.)
And soon I realized everything.
At some point, the castle's decorations began to glow flashily, and Ein looked at Dill and then put his hand on his forehead.
But I'm fine with this.
Everyone is happy enough to shine flashily.
But I don't think that's the end of it.
Krone, Chris, and Olivia, who were next to Ein, thought so too.
Fufu, maybe Ein should get away soon.
"Right... when I get involved..."
"Oh my, Ein, you look so cute when you're confused."
Though the words of the three men and the three leaves were cast, Ein could not help but think that it was already too late.
Yes, it was Katima.
Everything is slow when she moves and when she turns back.
"W-what the hell is that...!?"
"Your Majesty, I'm sure it's Katima." But it's fine, because it's so beautiful. "
Sylvard was surprised, and LaLaLaRa decided to do it well.
I'm sure both of you were expecting the rest of this.
However, Lalalua only laughed happily, and she looked at Beria who was standing by and thought about what would happen.
"...... Now, this year has begun as well."
Eventually, the voice came from the sky.
Christmas by genius Ketsey Katima! This is the real thing! This is where the order comes from!
Shit! Katima's figure appears on the roof of the castle.
She stood majestically on the spot, looking down at everyone gathered in the courtyard.
That's why the fireworks show is about to begin.
In response to Katima's words, colorful fireworks rose from all over the castle.
Looking at it, Sylvard twisted his cheeks.
For some reason, we don't even allow fireworks.
In view of the dangers of the fire, Katima was told that it was all no good.
Ah, it's time for Ein to join me.
It's about time. "What's going to rendezvous?"
Even though I haven't heard a single story, I'm not forced to get involved here.
But I wonder if Sylvard will listen to that excuse.
... Ein looked back at his past,
(That's impossible....)
Thinking he couldn't do anything, he turned his back on Sylvard without saying anything.
"A-Ain-sama...?"
"It's a misunderstanding, Dill."
"Maybe so... but..."
Maybe Dill just wanted to talk to you just in case.
He stood ready to grab Ein's hand, but Ein was a mighty man.
No matter how many jokes you make, you can easily reach out and escape.
"Dill! Let's get rid of your lord now!"
Oh, I knew this would happen!
Ein ran away before Dill grabbed her by the back of her hand.
With Krone, Chris, and Olivia on their backs.
And while listening to the servants and knights.
At a glance, Ein headed to the roof of the castle, where a wasted cat dressed in Santa clothes awaited.
There was a magic stone furnace near her.
"This is a state-of-the-art airship prepared by Roland... and a flying sled."
"What a waste of technology for Roland..."
"Well, don't worry about that." "So, do you want to take a ride or not?"
Ein didn't have much choice.
If you decide not to ride here, Sylvard and Dill will certainly ask you a lot of questions in the castle, so considering that, it's fascinating to travel by air with a futile cat.
Well, at the time I got involved, I had to.
"The fireworks, Grandpa was angry."
"That's the light of the magic tool I made last time." "There's nothing to worry about because it's not like fireworks."
I see, it looks like something was planned.
I'm sure Sylvard changed his plans a little because he happened to say something.
But now that I know, there's nothing I can do.
"Hoii"
Katima hands over something, realizing that Ein has given up.
It was Santa's clothes for Ain.
"From now on, I'll give you a small gift in the sky of the King's City."
"... yes, yes, this is what happens after all"
Ain boarded the flying sled with Katima.
Soon, the furnace mounted on the sled began to move, and the two of them escaped without being caught.
"I'm talking to the orphanage in King's Landing." "... so today, Ein and I are going to Santa Claus for the orphanage."
I wish you'd told me that from the beginning.
"Nghahaha! It's a bit shiny!"
No one can complain about good deeds, but it seems that Katima can still see playfulness in these places.
I could imagine being pissed off again when I got back, but Ein never felt bad about this air trip.
― ― ― And after the early questioning of returning home is over.
When Ein returned to her room, it was her turn to get a gift.
Greeted by three women dressed in Santa clothes that Katima gave him again this year, he exchanges gifts together and sends a fulfilling Christmas this year.
After falling asleep, I talked to the surprisingly lonely red fox.
I was a little lonely the next morning because I had a good day until the end.
