Welcome to Japan, Mr. Elf.

[Outside] Christmas with Mr. Elf ①

And the black cat walks right in front of me.

We were on our way to the mall at night and back to the apartment.

His breath is white, and the girl beside him exhales in the same way. It rode in the cold wind and quickly disappeared.

Authentic winters also visit here in the Gangdong District, and the night sky is cold somewhere if you look up. The moon was covered with thick clouds, and only a blurry light could be seen.

As predicted it will be cold tonight, the cold wind suddenly blows. Shrinking herself, she couldn't stand it and the girl had stuck her body together perfectly. Apparently, I'm used as a windscreen.

"Looks like it's gonna be cold tonight. I wish you had a muffler."

With that said, I stretch my arms and hold her, and the girl comes in a full hug. Apparently, it makes me feel warm, too.

"Yeah, what I did caught my guard. I can't believe the warmth in the room makes me think sweetly about choosing clothes when I go out"

He replied with a crisp and serious look.

Nevertheless, the girl's outfit feels strange because she's hugging me under my armpit.

It's the first time I've spent the winter with you, and I'm always worried that you might get sick. [M] You were completely worried, luckily you didn't catch one of the colds.

With that in mind, I was looked up from my light purple eyes.

"But since you bought me a coat, I still feel warm this year. Thank you, Ichiro."

"No, no, I'm not thankful. It's Marie's first year, so we need to pick clothes for each season. And I'm glad you found something that suits you well."

Answering that, Marie's expression turned to a laugh.

The beige brown coat has six large buttons. You liked it or not. With it, the girl turned her light purple eyes to this side again.

"This is easy to move and very warm. Is it because it also has this?

That's what I'm saying, I'm going to show you the furred collar (Eri) and cuffs (Soguchi). The coat makes the waist line look beautiful, and I think the elegant color suits Marie's taste as well.

In her case, the somewhat mature outfit fits well. It gives more emphasis to a tasteful face, gemstone eyes, and straight white hair.

He was walking in a good mood with boots down to his knees, and even his wintery ears had a rustic cuteness.

"Hey, you look great. Maybe the clerk was mistaken for a fairy."

They looked exaggerated, but I'm sure everyone would agree. Her identity is an elf tribe called the half fairy and the word "cute" is not enough.

The characteristic long ears for the Elves are now covered in arranged hair and hidden. This is a gift from a black cat walking in front and is now indispensable for living peacefully in Japan.

Well, whether you're a stubborn salesman or not, the girl is so adorable that she doesn't hesitate (cum) to pay for her clothes.

Well, that Marie was looking around a little bit.

Probably because the view is different from the usual shopping district. Colorful electrical decorations as well as shop lights dyed the streets.

"Hey, it's decorated everywhere, isn't it? Is this the Christmas thing?

"Right. Once a year, an event to enjoy decorating...... will it be?

That's what I answer, but I bring up a question mark.

Was the decoration a by-product and originally a day to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ? I notice that I was about to pass on incorrect information, and I tread dangerously.

Um, we have to be careful.

As I said earlier, this is their first year in Japan. Of course I want to give you the right explanation and tell you as much about the atmosphere as possible.

For this reason, I carefully chose what to tell them from.

"Well, there's something called 'A.D.' that we use a lot from time to time, right?

"Yeah, of course I do. Though the years are about to change."

Kneading on an electrically decorated tree, Marie clings to the top star. When the black cat also came by, she was touching it with her front leg, just like a little bit.

When Marie looks down, it's when she's mostly intrigued. I don't understand what it's for. But I think it's the look that bothers me, that I want to touch it.

"Christmas is the year of Christ, the Son of God, and then the A.D. was born."

"Yeah, I mean God's birthday? Uridora, you must have lived thousands of years. It's been over 2,000 years?

Naturally, the black cat rings "Yeah to" in the wind of answering.

Hmm, I see. I thought you'd be surprised if I told you that familiar information, which is also about the origin of A.D.

No way, I didn't know someone lived that long was next door.

While I think you've failed, I'm also a professional who won't give up on being a salaried man. I decided to change my approach without changing one complexion.

Of course, that's a must-win pattern that can be considered a classic for our family.

"That's why I decided to celebrate with delicious food, and cake. Fortunately this year the weekend is Christmas, so I'm going to spend tomorrow getting ready for it..."

I don't know, swallow the inviting words. Because the elves looking back at me, and the eyes of the black cat, were shivering in anticipation.

I always laugh and then I talk like the last one. [M]

"Oven-cooked turkey - to give up, the whole roast of birds is exceptional. The wine goes very well together, and of course sweet cakes are essential. What do you say we enjoy Christmas together this year?

"Wow! I'm suddenly looking forward to it for some reason. Of course you're welcome to do that kind of thing. Hey, Uridora?

"Ugh!

With that shaking, the girl grabbed the hand I offered her.

I think "I see" at the same time while helping you get up.

I hear stories about the Japanese being meeher to celebrate Christmas even though it's not Christian. But it's not weird to react to "unless it seems like fun" like they do.

It's certainly a delicious place to pick it up.

That and this is a country that believes in eight million gods (or greetings), so I reconsidered whether it was anything strange or not.

When I looked up, the night sky was cloudy, and I hoped that it would be like a child, "I wish it had snowed" even from the usual cold.

On a bright morning, uh, we wake up with a stretch.

What I was waiting for was not the wintery and cold air...... but the warmth as if I was on fire.

Although it was a largely unfurnished room, I finally have something to add. That's the "firewood stove" shaped like this old analog TV.

On the other side of the glass is a round fire (salamander) that keeps the sleeping room warm.

In this present (depressed) world, the girl continued to practice the treatment of spirits without mesmerization. Whenever the cold grew, enthusiasm grew, to the point of finally controlling the Spirit, which is said to be difficult.

It would have been pretty tough because that Marie was about as gutsy as she was. I accidentally clapped with Uridora then.

And when I said it was a rounded look, I finally understood why they said it was difficult. Are you curious, or do you try to come out once in a while with the heat-resistant glass open?

Of course, it's the source of the fire, and you can't have eyes like sesame seeds sniffing around.

Instead, he occasionally inserts firewood as a gift. Apparently his favorite is Kaoru.

I didn't know, but they say apple trees are of high quality as firewood. Do you enjoy the fragrance and the fire is good? If I go back to Aomori again, I will ask you to split some.

"Um, fireplaces are good stuff, though I never noticed them before. I slept on the other side of the road more or less."

"Nfu, it was worth the effort. And I'm glad Uridora made you a firewood stove."

Probably helped me out because the black cat at the time hated the cold.

One stretch, and then the black cat walks down the flooring. The destination is the special seats placed in front of the stove, as well as the duvet. Posan and I sat on top and remained round.

Does it matter if the cat is a stove, although it will be round with a snack? No, you might want to buy some snacks and clear the table during the winter months.

We also wake up as we calculate how to spend the winter, etc.

Ringing his bed, Marie stood up in a white sleeping roll. It has a hood that mimics sheep, and it's a shame you can't make it even though it's cute when you're against it.

Is it because you did me a favor to "take a picture"? No, no, that's stupid. It's called a small tail on the butt, and it's better to save it.

Sometimes I remember speaking of which, I try to keep it in my mouth.

"You don't hear a lot about warming up with spirits over there."

"Naturally, most countries are forbidden by the fire. The Spirit will soon do evil. So there are only a few types of spirits you can call around the city."

Oh, did you also have such a constraint? Of course, there is no law in Japan that says, "Don't call it fire."

Instead, we need to be careful not to get more than enough fires. I don't want to take care of a fire truck if I'm wrong, and I don't want to bother your neighborhood.

But there is no way that a magic dragon stove is normal. I've been very good at explaining the features used to prevent fires before, but there's very little left in my head.

"It looks safe" at best.

"Anyway, let's get ready for Christmas. Let's go to the toy store first when we eat."

"Oh, how did you get to the toy store? 'Cause yesterday we were supposed to cook, weren't we?

No, no, no, we need something pivotal. I have a gift for her for a long time, but I have something else for her.
