Side Story: Christmas Special 2021

“Hehehe, I think what I enjoy the most about Christmas is decorating like this!”

“That’s true. Doing all the preparations like this is pretty exciting, right?”

Illuna and I talked while decorating the Christmas tree.

–Yes, it’s Christmas.

It was an event that did not exist in this world, but it existed in my family.

I was not a Christian, but I think it might be a good idea to promote this event on a large scale.

Like… a holiday for the Demon Lord. Maybe I should make a proposal in the Rogard Empire.

“Hey. This kind of event is fun, after all, even if you’re an adult!”

And Nell, who had returned to our house for the holiday, said so as well.

As a husband, I was happy to see that she was able to come home soon like this these days.

“True, I’m in the mood to celebrate this every day already, as well. That’s right, the joy this event brings never fades, even when you grow up.”

When I was a child, I innocently enjoyed it as a child, and now that I was an adult, I still enjoyed the atmosphere, even though my primary purpose was to entertain my children.

We drank a little more than usual, ate a little more elaborate food than usual.

Talking and laughing about all sorts of things, spending time together until evening, and ending it a little later than usual.

Now that I was an adult, it was not the gifts or anything that gave me joy, it was the conversations that I enjoyed more than anything else.

While I was looking forward to that, Illuna and the young ones were also looking forward to how they would celebrate Christmas.

Illuna shook her head when I asked her if she wanted to celebrate Christmas every day, which made me think that she would reject the idea.

“Er, you can’t do that, onii-chan! Events, you know, are fun because you do them sometimes! If we do it every day… every day… that will also be exciting!”

We all laughed together as Illuna nodded while imagining the possibility and how fun it would be if Christmas was celebrated daily.

We had enough resources to do something like that, you see.

Well, maybe it was a little strange to say financial resources. I didn’t have actual cash.

Anyway, we were in an environment where we could pretty much get anything we wanted.

In fact, there was no reason for us to use bad ingredients when we could afford the best one. After all, even if we didn’t use DP, we could always obtain ingredients from the Demon Forest.

Once before, we almost ran out of DP, but now that I had expanded the Dungeon to almost all the Demon Forest, along with the Ghost Ship dungeon and Rogardian Empire, I now had a lot of DP to spare.

The only problem with that was that the level of food in our house was so high that we could boast about it, so we never felt like going out to eat.

I had a very versatile maid named Layla…uh, no, no, I had a wife who was the best cook in the world.

…I was still a little embarrassed to think of Layla as my wife, you know?

Well, I couldn’t help to not get used to being partners so early in our relationship, but it would improve over time.

“Nufufu, the year-end events will also be great~! It will be after Christmas when we celebrate New Year! It will be so much fun, so much sparkles~!”

“…sparkles~”

Shii and Enne danced with the sparkles from the tree decorations.

Kids really loved glitters like that, didn’t they?

Especially Shii, who was the most honest of all the little girls in our family, loved glitter.

I wondered what she enjoyed so much about it, but she was always looking at it, throwing it around, rolling it around, seemingly obsessed with it.

For her, it seemed that Christmas decorations, a mass of glitter, were really the object of her love, and she was smiling all the time.

Smiling beyond limits.

“Oh! I’m starting to sparkle as well!”

“Come here! Come on, join and sparkle as well, wraith girls~!”

“…sparkle~”

“Sparkle!”

The adults laughed at the young girls and enjoyed the atmosphere as they prepared for the event.

–Now, Christmastime arrives.
