Plenty of snow fell during the night.

When I woke up in the morning and looked out from my home, the Willidis basement mansion, its third floor room, the fountain in front of the house, the woods visible beyond it, were turning white.

The interior wasn't cold because the dungeon core managed it at the right temperature, but I felt dim because of the clouds that stood up and shook up unexpectedly.

Awakened Early gets out of bed and weaves her gown from above her bedtime clothes. Yawning, she seemed a little sleepy.

Get dressed quickly, I left my room and an SS-made mahon was waiting for me in the kitchen.

"Master, would you like some coffee?

"Get it."

A shapeshifter maid with brown hair who was ready and waiting poured coffee into a cup for me. I saw Early coming, and I said, "How about a princess?" and speak up.

While enjoying the bitterness of the coffee that gave me the hot air, I walked out to the veranda through the aisle beside my room. Bottom-cold cold sting the skin. It was still cold out there. Hot coffee warms the body from the inside.

Hmmm......

Look out blurry. Snow is falling in the coniferous forest. Sometimes I think while I feel something is missing.

One thought comes to mind abruptly.

That's right, it's an event!

Halfway through the twelve moons. In the world I was in, it would be an example event day. A festival from Amen, yes, it's Christmas.

Well, in Japan, it's a recognition that it's a rear charging event, but in fact, in Europe and in the Middle Ages, some countries said it was a fussy event.

That's why we'll have a Christmas party in Willidis as well. It's going to be a tough year next year, so we're going to do it now.

Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've been in a magic armored car (Dezelt), I think.

Dezelt proceeded on the snowflake as he made the I was rarely in the passenger seat and it was Marcus driving.

The snowfield, visible through the window, eventually turns into a forest and heads to the ancient dungeon that serves as the Demon Stone Reservoir. It was a place that I had previously been unable to reach with a vehicle, but the road was maintained and the passage in the dungeon was slightly altered so that I could drive to the storage depot.

"You, how far are you from Kroja?

If I bumped into the chatter of my spare time, Marcus raised a barbaric voice.

"Ha!?

"Look forward, drive.... I know you're in love with Kroja"

Working at Willidis Mansion, she is currently in the position of Maid Chief. Originally with Sakhiris, he served the Casling family, but lost the house he served in the meteorite drop, and I'm taking it.

"... stupid, I 'm-"

"It's no use hiding it. Me and Mr. Bell are aware of it. And then you wouldn't know, but Elisa and Leele were having a drink about your relationship with Kroja."

……

Marcus boy who's going out of line. In the Willidis momentum, Marcus was famous for his favor of Kroja without his knowledge.

Elisa and Leele, of course, even know Liana who doesn't seem interested in romance. Mr Daska and others watch 'It's Youth' and Nico and the actions of young people.

"So, what do you say, Marcus boy? Do you like Kroja?

"... if they say they like it. … Yes, I like it"

Marcus admitted.

"You want to get married?

"Huh...! It's the"

It was him who seemed upset, but he immediately tightened his expression.

"Even if you want to, you can't, Captain"

"Why?"

"I'm noble and second son of the Earl's family, right? I can't believe you married a maid."

"Your brother will inherit the house, won't he? You should be engaged to whoever you want."

"Uh, no, that's what I'd like to think, but I was wondering if my father or grandfather would probably admit it."

He is a man of the Count's house, but he will have a wife who deserves it. Some nobleman's daughter, another powerful daughter, etc. Being connected to someone who is appropriate and has some benefit for the house, too.

You mean free romantic marriage is impossible if you were born in a noble house?

'If you really like it, you'll be abandoned as much as a nobleman's house...'

How dare you hear Leele say it while drinking. But I think that's something I can say because it's an outfield. I'm allowed to say it during a chat without a scratch.

In fact, the family will be important, and it's only up to us to decide whether to hang the house or whoever we want on the balance. I can't mildly tell you to stir up manhood and dump a house for whomever you want.

Mostly, it's the person who's bothering me the most.

"So, what are you going to do? Keep going, keep going, keep going?

"... I don't know"

Marcus looked difficult and shut his mouth. I guess there's quite a grip in him. Before I went into something, I must have thought of romance with my maid in my head and thought about the future many times.... Anyway, this guy is serious.

"Right. I thought I'd have to think about something to celebrate if I was going out with you on the assumption of engagement. It's up to you to decide. If there's anything you need to talk to me about, just say it."

"... Yes"

Marcus took the lead while driving. I myself am not willing to pursue it in depth simply because it is a topic I have taken up in my spare time.

Dezelt was in an ancient dungeon at some point. The room is guarded by golems and shapeshifter soldiers.

Arrive straight at the Demon Stone Reservoir. An SS sergeant rushed over to me as I stepped out of the passenger seat.

"Master Jin. Welcome. '

"The one you contacted, have you been collected?

"Yes, already."

The sergeant looked back and carried a floating trolley with the soldier he had refrained from. Instructions were given through the dungeon core (Safilo) before leaving the mansion to save time.

Marcus comes and peeks inside the trolley.

"I was wondering if you came to collect the Great Devil's Stone or the Devil's Stone for replenishment -"

"This is a magic stone, too."

About the size of a small beeball, or less. Quite a small grain. I don't allow it to be used as a magic catalyst for weapons. To the point of putting quite a few on small magic and protective equipment? It was just a powerless demon stone that hadn't grown yet.

"It's better than Demon Stone Crumbs, but what do you use a lot of this stuff for?

I wouldn't call it a pile, but there would be a few hundred lightly. Lay it down and you'll be able to do the bed...... if you fall asleep it looks painful though.

"Illumination"

"Irumi...... hey?

I guess it was a word I'd never heard before. I laughed at Marcus for shaking his neck.

"When you connect a magic transmission line to this... well, look forward to it"

In Japan, it's like a Christmas festival poem, but I guess it's not in this world.
