Welcome to the Premium Alliance! ~ Billboard daughter's beloved elf soothes everyone's heart ~

Dark Guild Hall.

This is not normally possible because of the magic equipment, but due to some plan, the lights are dropped today.

I don't have a problem with night vision, but I don't think I've seen anything Meg is going to bring Saura here.I hope you're not worried.

Secondly, I am detecting signs of Saura and Meg.Apparently we managed to get him out of the room safely.The confusing state of Meg was conveyed and the mouth was slightly relaxed.You'll see a surprising face after this ─ ─ ─

"Gil, don't you think Meg's been acting weird lately?"

That's what the chief told me four days ago.That was something I felt too, so I immediately went on a consultation.

Because recently, Meg spent almost all of his free time in his room.He said he was obsessed with reading a book, but everyone knew it was an excuse.Meg is not good at lying.

However, I didn't feel any negative atmosphere such as bad feelings or troubles.I'm sure you're hiding something, but I can't figure out why or why you're hiding it.

"Meg's growing up, too.I don't want anyone to know anything about it.Okay? You mustn't pry.It's hard at my age!

Saura cautioned me so many times.Especially when a man's parents don't stick it in his neck.I was hesitant to step in when I was told that it could become a dislike factor later on.

Nevertheless, there is a limit to being able to wait and see tired faces day after day without doing anything.It was time for someone to discuss the situation.I got this advice from someone I didn't expect.

"It's okay. So, if you're so worried, why don't you do something to entertain Meg?

It was Mikolash who gave me advice.Instead of asking what happened, Miko, a female figure in the evening, suggested how to change her mood.

There are many things that no one wants to be explored.Even if it's a child, it's in Meg.Everyone agreed to this method of not forcibly asking.

"Ugh, then I have a good idea!Christmas party!

It was the leader who suggested the party after listening to me.I've heard of Christmas from the chief a few times.I don't know the details.

Well, I guess I just want to party for a reason.Many members of Ortus prefer events like this.

"Meg will miss the old days, and I think it's a good idea!Ah, I'll wear Christmas clothes and decorations on the day. "

"Oh, that sounds fun!Just ask Maille to do it!

"If it's a costume, I'll ask Lagrange to do it.This could be a new boom for the city. "

Hmm, it's an event that Meg's predecessors were familiar with.I see. Then I'm sure it'll be a good change of pace.

I thought it would be easy.Until the day.

"... do I have to wear this?"

"Oops, we're all going to wear some kind of decoration.Don't waste your time, Gil. "

I didn't think the day would come when I would wear something so flashy.But I can't refuse if they tell me that I won't wear Meg here alone.

... the leader is smiling happily.Absolutely enjoying it, this guy.... hah. I can't help it.Let's say it's for Meg.I was ready and waiting for Meg to arrive in the hall ─ ─ ─

"Is that, it's dark...?

Along with Meg and Saura and their footsteps, I heard Meg's anxious voice.

"Meg! Merry Christmas!

There, Saura's bright voice resounds.With that voice as a signal, the whole hall was lit with warm lights, and the cracker burst with magic equipment.

"" Merry Christmas!!

"Uhiaah!?

As it lights up, the members who were waiting also say their Christmas greetings with one mouth shut.Meg's eyes were pounding suddenly.The reaction was as expected.

The leader approached Meg with a smile as if the prank had succeeded.The chief is wearing a red hat with a decoration that mimics white snow and is somehow wearing a white beard.

"Surprise, Meg.I came up with a Christmas party this year. "

That said, the chief put red cape on Meg.A lovely design with a white decoration on the hem similar to the captain's hat.The material that seems fluffy and pleasant to touch suits Meg well.

Meg still seems to be swallowing up the situation.It's the iron plate that keeps the kids quiet, right?and the leader laughs with satisfaction.

At last, Meg began to understand and looked around.You may have noticed that you are wearing a different Christmas decoration.

Looking around again, there may be a sense of unity and special feeling and it may be quite good.... I have a little resistance to wear.

Then Meg's gaze was followed by a lot of treats on the table lined up in the hall.

"It's really a Christmas party....!

That's what Meg finally said to me.Gradually, her eyes began to shine and her cheeks were cracking with joy.

"Come on, Meg! Now I'm going to change my mood... uhh!?

Intercepting his words, Meg hugged the leader.Because my face is slightly red, I think I still feel a little embarrassed about the skin shipment.But as soon as I saw the expression, I knew that I was happy.

The leader also looked puzzled for a moment, even though he didn't think he'd be hugged.but, as a matter of course, they hugged him back right away.Smile happily.

"I'm so happy.... you know, I've been preparing myself."

"Ah? Ready?

Meg said so, and took something like a card out of the storage magic equipment.Colorfully decorated cards in red and green that everyone wears.I didn't see it well from afar, but I could see that it was handmade.

"Merry Christmas, Dad! Well, maybe it's bad to be able to do it... but I can feel it.

"Card...? Is this me?

Apparently, the card contains a sketch of the leader.Meg blushed his face embarrassed.

"Oh, you've been in this room lately to make this, right?

"Eh, eheheheh...."

I opened my eyes to the words of the leader, and to everyone's surprise.Besides, if you ask me, I made this card for others.Not all of them, but still quite a few.Did you make one piece of it by hand?It means that it will be too tight in the room.

You were working alone for everyone?What a mess.

The leader hugged Meg again, saying he was going to give it to someone else.Ah... I know exactly how that feels.

"What, I'm glad...Because you're not feeling well, I was hoping you'd feel a little better. "

"? Eh, I can't believe this party..."

Apparently, Meg also figured out the purpose of the party.There's a lot of over-protection for Ortus.

... but I can't believe you and Meg are all trying to do something for an event called Christmas.

"You're my parents."

You're my mother and daughter.

By muttering the same thing at the same time, laughter filled the hall.You still have a similar idea.It's not a blood connection, but it makes you feel the connection of your soul.

The two people who were breathing together looked at each other and laughed at each other.

"I'll distribute it to everyone!

Wow. Thank you, really.I'll take care of it all my life. "

"Yeah, that's embarrassing."

As Meg separated himself from the leader, he jumped into the party with pride.I'll keep an eye on Meg from a distance.

Saura in a color dress called the Christmas color, Rendale's ears and horns, which seems to be an indispensable animal for Christmas, and Maryla with a big bell on her neck, sandwiched Meg in between to take a commemorative photo with a camera magic instrument.Meg is hugging me, hugging me back, and I'm glad to be there.

Like Ludo, who smiled in an illuminated tie, Leki, dressed in the same fashion, received a card while drinking in the corner of the hall.

Ludo, who was hugged by Meg, hugged him back with a spare expression, but he didn't know what to do with Leki and his hands were swimming.But whoever sees it will be pleased.

Juma, who is wearing a Rendale dress close to the real thing, drinks like a shower.However, the strength of my arm to hold Meg back when I went to hug her was considerably reduced, and I took care of the card.I'm impressed that he's been able to take care of things like that.

Dressed in a white suit, Kay gracefully grabs a cocktail and, needless to say, compliments Meg.As usual. Meg is hugging Kai while turning bright red.Of course, Kai is in a good mood to hug her back happily.

Schlier, who was wearing a face paint on her cheeks and a Christmas stall, and Ronnie, wearing a red jacket, were each receiving cards while relaxing on the sofa seat.

This member can look at it with confidence.Each hugged each other with plenty of room, and the gentle air was flowing.

Various parties have been held in this place so far.Most of them were just drinking parties, and for me they were just noisy.I've never been to the end.

But when Meg is there, it changes.What you're doing isn't much different, but warmth and happiness are full of places.I didn't feel uncomfortable either because of Meg's presence.

"Meg"

"Gil, nh...?

When I passed by, I accidentally called out.Shit, I didn't want to see this costume very much, so I've been hiding.

After all, Meg looked back at my voice with surprise.

"... don't look too much."

"Well, I can't.Wow! It suits you! Wonderful!

I always wear irreplaceable clothes. [M]You spend most of your time in combat clothing.But now I'm not wearing my usual cape, I'm wearing a red and green vertical and horizontal pattern cape, even though it's a dark hue.Like Meg, the hem has even a white fluffy decoration, so it's a delicate mood.

"... the leader and Kai forced me to wear them."

"It's a good job because it looks great on you, both of you!Plus, it looks like you're with me!

Are you all set? Certainly the shape of the cape and the cape are similar, as are the hem decorations.

... well, when I refused anyway, I tried to make them wear it because they were with Meg.It's complicated in the chest.

"Merry Christmas, Mr. Gill.Um, will you take it...?

Also, Meg, who was in the right position, handed me the card.Receiving it and looking closely, it shows a face in the center and decorates its surroundings beautifully.I suppose they worked meticulously, one by one.When I think about it, something hot enters my chest.

"This is me...."

"Ugh, I'm not good at it, but I can feel it!And then... no "



With momentum, Meg hugged me.Speaking of which, you hugged the same person who gave you the card.I see, the gift from Meg is a card and a hug.

"Gil-san...?

I think the frequency of hugging Meg has also decreased considerably.I am happy to grow and feel that it is not enough.This must be the feeling of loneliness.

You must have wondered at me for not moving.Looking up at Meg as if confused, a little frustration lit my mind.

"What is it?

Eh? Wow.

I haven't held Meg in a long time instead of hugging him back.It has gotten a little heavier, but it will still get bigger.How long will I be able to do this?

"You must have put your heart into it.I wondered how you felt. "

"Hmm!?

When I asked, Meg's face was dyed bright red.

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!

Change. What a shaking heart it is.However, there is no change in the feeling that I love Meg.That's probably the only thing that's immutable.

That's great. Someday, I may not like these skinships and I won't accept them at all.Before that happens, I'll let you enjoy it.

I see.... thank you, Meg. "

Gently, but still hold Meg tightly.It's warm and happy.

"Yes, no... how are you?"

As always, I looked nervous, but when I gently tapped Tongtong and his back as I was a child, I found that my body slowly relaxed.

And in no time, Meg began to snooze in my arms.... this is unusual again.I haven't fallen asleep lately.

"Haha. Did you fall asleep? Meg.Looks like you worked hard to make a present. "

The leader calls out to the passersby.

That's right. You've worked hard for everyone in Ortus.It would be better to put him to bed for a while now.

"Put him to bed on the couch over there.Then you'll wake up in a lively atmosphere and brightness.If you couldn't join the party, you'd be depressed. "

Besides, the chief laughed that we don't eat and drink all night.

If Meg had been younger, I would have taken him to his room.But if it's Meg now, it's okay to stay up a little bit.It means you can still enjoy it.Growing up is also a good thing.

"... Merry Christmas, Meg"

When you wake up, tell me more stories.I stroked my hair smoothly with that hope and gently placed a present at Meg's sleeping hand.
