I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace

Day 24 of the heavenly moon. It's Christmas...... Japanese Christmas has a busier image of Eve in one way or another, but Christmas in this world is the 25th of the year and this day the cities around the world will be gorgeously colored with preparations for tomorrow.

And that's here, the forest city/yugfresis is no exception.

This land, ruled by Mr. Lilywood, is home to a variety of trees, large and small… there are many trees around the world, many of which are beautifully decorated for Christmas.

For the people who live in Yugfresis, the World Tree and Mr. Lilywood are objects of faith, and this day there will be a massive festival in the name of thanking the Holy Tree.

As I look out at the vibrant streets and attach the ornament I had in my hand to the nearby branches, I hear a serene voice.

'... I'm sorry. Mr. Kate, let me help you...'

"No, thank you for being so cheap. But what do you think about decorating trees, Mr. Lilywood, the tree spirits?

"If it wasn't for these occasions, the trees would never be beautifully decorated, and I think these are good tastes."

"Cheng Cheng"

It's like a kind of stylish thing to say, I guess it just feels like wearing it on Christmas day... just for the trees... let's not waste it, I'm starting to feel sorry for myself thinking about it.

Right now I'm getting ready for Christmas tonight and tomorrow. Actually, I had a little business with Mr. Lilywood and I visited here, and it seemed like Mr. Lilywood was keeping me busy with a lot of things, so I spoke up, and although it's a small matter, I'm helping.

'You also have a little envy. Look, I... the world tree can't be decorated...'

"Oh, that does seem difficult, doesn't it?"

The world tree is too big for boulders to decorate... some branches are about four lanes wide...

Mr. Lilywood's outfit is ethnic costume-style as usual...... Poncho or something like that, but I like this outfit because it looks like Mr. Lilywood.

"Mr. Lilywood is beautiful enough to stay that way."

'... please don't say anything very pleasant. You're embarrassing me...'

"Haha, but this is how I enjoy spending time with Mr. Lilywood"

"... well, you've really changed... you'd have a lot to deduct today and tomorrow... but you want to spend Christmas with me, etc..."

Mr. Lilywood moves his face while dyeing his cheeks slightly, like a fresh green leaf to go with it... or the hair that the leaves themselves are made of folds shakes.

Maybe it's because Mr. Lilywood is a tree spirit, but I feel kind of relaxed when we're together.

I think it's a little different than a forest bath, and I think it's only because of Mr. Lilywood's own kind personality...... stay with him and calm down.

"Isn't that nice, because you like me and you do that?"

"... I can't deal with you much, can I?

"I don't mind. Mr. Lilywood is the star of the festival in this city, so you know that. This is just how Mr. Lilywood sees the fold and comes to see you, and it's fun enough."

'... really... you're in trouble...'

With those words said, Mr. Lilywood's voice was very gentle and the jade eyes pointed at this one were very warm.

Help with the decorations was over, and when the sun set, the bright light lit up the darkness of the night, and the party began.

I was going to have Mr. Lilywood stay with me today, and I was carrying tea into my mouth as I saw the bright city light through the window.

There was also a hand in attending the festival... but I think that even if I did, I would give a lot of attention to Mr. Lilywood, who is busy, and this time I decided to relax here and wait for Mr. Lilywood to come home.

Mr. Lilywood is the star of this festival and is very busy this time of year, so I remember saying "sleep first because I don't think you can go home today" many times.

The current time is 9: 00 PM...... if I were to come back, maybe three hours? Sometimes I don't feel bad waiting for someone like this to relax, so I take the book out of the magic box in my spare time and start reading.

And a while later, when the date was about to change or not, the festival seemed to be a paragraph and Mr. Lilywood came back.

Mr. Lilywood is sitting in a chair reading a book, looking at me, sighing like a fright.

'... Ha, I was hoping maybe... why are you awake? Are you...'

"Welcome back, Mr. Lilywood. Good luck."

'... Yes. I'm back now. I'm sorry to keep you waiting.'

"No, I just had some business to attend to..."

'An errand......?

To Mr. Lilliwood, who listens to my words and tilts his neck, I hand him a costume mimicking the flowers I took out of the magic box.

"Mr. Lilywood, Merry Christmas"

'... Huh?

"I wasn't sure what to do, but I figured Mr. Lilywood would look good with flowers, so I made this one."

'Huh? Ah, uh... thank you, sir...'

Receiving the Christmas present costume, Mr. Lilywood returns his thanks, staring at it with a surprised look on his face.

"Ko, to give this to you... have you been waiting for me?

"Yes."

"... really... you are no match for me"

Having given up somewhere, and then a very happy smile, Mr. Lilywood went from being buried in the trunk of a tree to being the same as a human being, turning his hand around my neck and hugging me.

A very large Mr. Lilywood's chest took my head like a cushion and I felt a soft, happy feeling and a gentle woody scent.

'... I'm in trouble. I didn't expect you to come to see me today... so sorry. I don't have anything for you. "

"No, never mind. I just wanted to give it to Mr. Lilywood..."

'... Yes. But that doesn't mean... instead...'

"... Huh?

So I heard a few sayin 'words, and I was hugged stronger until earlier.

Mr. Lilywood tells me in a slow, embarrassing voice after remaining silent with me in his arms for a little while.

'... Tomorrow, I made room for a little while... so, the...'

"Yes?"

"The gift for Mr. Kate..." Me "... doesn't that mean... can't it?

"Oh, well, that's..."

'... let me not say any more'

"~!? Yes"

Even I'm not stupid enough not to know what that word means in a boulder.

He is invited by a sweet, swinging voice and gently holds Mr. Lilywood back.

'It's just that for this gift... there was a little problem'

"Problem, is it?

'Yes. Now that I'm happy too...... you won't get much in return'

"... hehe, no, that's not true. For me, it's a gift that I really don't want any more."

'... is that right... but at least for today... let me lead'

"Yes."

Christmas with my loved ones...... that's really warm...... at least tonight, when I think I'll be with Mr. Lilywood all the time, nature and my face smile and my happiness spread all over my chest.
