217 Because it's Xmas! !! Playing in the snow Part 3

Huh ... huh ...

Hmm....

I'll have another one!

Isn't it time to stop?

"You're not going to try to win away... are you?

Over 25 fights were fought against Hayato, most of which were won or lost by Hayato.

Almost.........well, almost all of them.

''You've won one.....

No, I lost that one.

Only once did they hit each other in the face in a phase action.

Hayato said that they bumped into each other a moment ago, but since it wasn't a clear victory, I can't admit it.

If you don't win properly, I can't proudly report that I've beaten my sister Misa.

''So one more round!　Just one more round, please!

What? It's all dark now. You won't be able to see a thing.

Huh?　Oh, when did you....

When I looked around, the sun was setting and before I knew it, the snowfield, which had been pure white, was about to be enveloped in darkness.

I didn't know that much time had passed.... I promised to make a snow sculpture with my brother.....

''Hm?　That was....

In such a dark, snowy field, one spot of warm, shining light can be seen.

As I recall ... my brother is the one who made the Kamakura, right?

'It smells kind of good up here...'

Yeah. I'm hungry...

You can't just start being aware of it.

When you smell such a good smell, all you can think about is the food.

But it's hard to get rid of the competition........

Haha. I'll take it again anytime you want. Let's call it a day and go back. Before you know it, it's just us, and I'm sorry to make you wait.

'Really?　I know. I'll do that. My sister Misa will be gone before we know it, and if we win this one, they might say we're lying!　All right. Let's go back then!

Yes. That's right. It's cash.

Now I'll be able to compete with Hayato at any time!

And Misa's sister didn't put a deadline on it either.

I'll show you a win one day.

But my only regret is........I wish I had more fun with my brother.......

''Huh?　Is the light just outside?　It's dark.......I'm home!

I'm back.

Cease....

Merry Christmas!

*

Just as Hayato and Makoto returned, all of us gathered at the entrance to greet them.

''Seeno........''

Merry Christmas!

As we discussed, we all shouted in unison to the sound of my say-so, and the two looked surprised, so the strategy was a success.

Okay, let's go light up!

Okay. Let the magic pass.

As Mizella passes her magic power through the magic stone, the inside of the Kamakura is enveloped in a warm orange light, followed by a wave of light that continues outward.

Illuminations in red and green Christmas colors and snowmen glowing in pale blue.

Even the trees that had lost their leaves were decorated with various green, yellow, and red lights, and a path of light had been created on the ground.

And for some reason, the light was directed at my statue as well.

''Wow....''

Great.....

In the blink of an eye, the darkened snowfield turns into a world of light and snow, but it's not over yet.

'Yes!　I'm ready for dinner.

Mika lifted the cloth over the large snow table in the center of the kamakura and a full feast came out from inside.

Chicken, of course, but also pie-wrapped stews, salads, toppings of meat, pizza and white bread.

And Misela's desired porridge, miso soup, corn soup, and other warming soups are all ready to go.

Several chairs and desks are made of hardened snow, and the top is covered with a thick cloth and a film of slime to prevent the cold from getting through.

''It's like a party...''

It's not like that, it's a party. You wanted to, didn't you?

Big brother.

"Stop hugging me, it's disgusting!

Don't come hugging me halfheartedly, you know.

More importantly, what are you doing when you have something to do?

Don't you have anything to say?

What... something... something... ah!

Mika finally noticed as she fixed her misaligned hat.

'It's a Santa suit!

'Yes. It's embarrassing, but I put it on for you...

A compliment is always nice, don't you think?

That's right. Mika and Misa are both wearing Santa clothes.

Rather notice it first, true.

Naturally, I had Wendy and Letty and the others change their clothes as well.

By the way, I'm in a reindeer costume as well as the last time.

"Ho ho ho!　It looks great on you!　They're both awesome cute!

The tension was so high that Shin was looking at the two of them from in front and behind, and just now, whoa!　And the shouting continues to echo.

Hayato also seems to be going to Letty and the others and giving each of them his thoughts.

It's easy to tell by the reactions of Letty and the others.

After a bit of time and seeing the right moment when Makoto regained his composure, we began to eat.

It was a standing-room-only meal format, so that each of us could take as much as we wanted, and since we were each allowed to stand and eat while standing or sitting in a chair, we were each free to do our own thing from here on out.

'Heeeeeeeeeee!'

'You're so fast!　It's cold!　It's fun!

Outside, you can hear people sledding on the hollowed out bobsled course made of hardened snow.

I designed the bobsled course to be accelerated in the direction of acceleration (vector acceleration) when climbing, and to stop at every lap.

'Hayato!　We'll take this time!

'Fine. I hope so.

They both seem to be enjoying themselves.

As for me, I'm flabbergasted at the edge of the hut.

There's one wine glass in my hand and I've only managed to eat a little bit of food.

Huh.........I'm tired........

''Thank you for your help.''

'Uh-huh. Good job.

'Oh....'

Mika and Misa came over to me, but I only had to lightly raise my hand to deal with them.

''Huh. I've seen your brother Itsuki really mean it.

How did it go?

'Yes!　It was very awesome. It was so detailed ... and the illumination was beautiful.

I didn't think you'd even get a Santa suit. And that course ... how much you're willing to put up with.

"As long as you're willing to give it your all but I'm not going to do it anymore...

It would be a real shame to exhaust everything in preparation and not have time to enjoy it.

I strongly reminded myself that I shouldn't think of my distribution of strength as still being young.

''Well thank you. For the truth.

Thank you. It's been a very nice Christmas.

'Hmm?　It's okay. I had a good time, too.

Yeah. That was fun, huh? Isn't this fun time over yet?

Well yes. But I just need to rest a little longer I'm exhausted of both magic and strength.

I can see that. So, you see.

'Yes! So I'm going to cast a recovery spell. The one that increases your stamina!

'Oh, you have such useful magic?　Come to think of it, I've never heard of recovery magic before...

Normally, if I get injured, I can take medication for it.

Well, let's get it applied right away.

Yes, sir!　Okay, here we go! "Stamina Ultimate.

When Mika releases her magic, my body is enveloped in a thin yellow light.

And then, with a thump, my heart leaps and my fatigue and languor instantly vanish.

'Hey, Mika!　That's too much...

'Whoa, whoa, whoa!　Woohoo!

I open my eyes and get excited on my own.

My body is so hot I want to start running right now!

'Oh, oh, oh!　Thank you, Mika!　True, Hayato, I'm with you!　Mix it up, oh, oh, oh!

Are you in the race, brother?　Okay!　The game is on!

Hey, Mr. Itsuki?　It seems like there's too much tension...

'Hahaha!　It's all in your head!　For that matter, it's my turn to be next!

That's because I made it!　I know the characteristics of the course!　I will!　First!　He's fast!

".........Mika. What are we going to do now that it's night.... She hasn't changed for six hours.

'Oh I don't know what to do...'

Sheesh.

I should've stuck with "Strength Supercharge (Stamina Fever)" or something like that...

What should I do.........

"Don't worry, we'll take care of it. We'll take care of it...

You don't look like you're going to get any sleep tonight... and that's okay.

Well I guess I'll be off on my quest again tomorrow.

'Well I wonder if I can get out of bed...'

I'll be totally off tomorrow...

Huh?　A bed is.....

It's just that.........tonight....

Mika. It's on your face....

"Because!

'Well that's because I usually do. That's the way it is on nights like this.

Wow, wow... it's a grown up world...!

That dignified Aina has turned into a girl's face too........

But.........we'll have to wait for Christmas night too.........

Sis!

Someday, someday...!

I didn't need to look in the mirror to see that my face had turned red all at once in a blur.

*

The next morning.

I just moved a little bit and it popped!

As soon as the effects of the magic wore off, the fatigue from the high tensions came all at once, so it's not very likely I'll be able to move!

Hmm. I'll put some pills on it.

Thank you White....

White is the only one who can move. So I don't blame him I'm not happy about it.

Well that's because it's just a little bit more than enough to get at White.

So don't frown like that........

You'll ruin your pretty face.........

Shiloh....give me some of that....

No. Get it yourself.

'Don't be mean to me I can't move...'

You're supposed to be working out, but...

I can't.....

In the big bed, everyone was lying down and unable to move.

That's why White walked around with us, handing out food, bathroom attendants, patching medicine, etc....

'Again, this year, there's nothing but disapproval.'

White had worked very hard, even though he had a mouthful of negative energy.
