Chapter 94: Getting Ready To Kill

The Winter Festival is an eagerly anticipated celebration by students, representing the first truly significant commemoration and the first official event of Kryoris. While the duration and intensity of the season may vary, winter holds a special place in people's hearts, bringing with it a unique sense of magic and charm.

In many places, the landscape transforms into a fairy tale setting, covered by a white, glistening blanket of snow, but in Kryoris, a region located in a tropical part of the Nightsphere planet, this picturesque view is a rarity.

Winter in Kryoris is a singular and peculiar experience. Although the snow, so associated with the Christmas climate, is absent, the season still carries a special atmosphere. It's a period when temperatures drop, and a cool breeze sweeps through the lush forests and majestic mountains of the region. Nights are longer, enveloping the landscape in an aura of mysticism and serenity.

The night sky becomes a spectacle in itself, adorned with sparkling stars and occasionally the dance of the northern lights.

The Winter Festival in Kryoris will celebrate the end of the first semester. Students have prepared and eagerly anticipated this celebration, especially those in their first year. It wasn't just the school organizing the festival; seasonal markets come to life, offering a variety of local delicacies, skillfully crafted handicrafts, and unique gifts.

Culinary delights warm the hearts and stomachs, with traditional dishes celebrating the flavors of the season, from hot soups and stews to tempting sweets made with fresh seasonal fruits.

The whole city was bustling after the authorization to hold such a festival, resembling the New Year period. Kryoris was a central city, a capital, and so everything was concentrated in one place. Not only were the inhabitants of Kryoris present, but even rulers from other cities, kings, and queens came to the festivity.

Vlad was one of them, who was in the city disguised with Lisa, enjoying the downtime.

The Festival would last almost a week, actually, it would be five days, and Vlad resolved the issues with Siren and Nosferatu, clearing his schedule for vacation during those days. Not only Vlad was in the city, Lyriana was having fun at a casino while Velkan was in the Red Light district, engaging with prostitutes. Each had their own lifestyle.

Despite repudiating the actions of Forki, Alexander, and Ethan, it was a great idea to create the festival. Not only did it benefit them in humiliating Dante, but many people gained from it, especially the Fortune Witches. The Wealth Witch was strengthening her arsenal of contracts throughout the city.

Not only her, but the witches began to make a lot of money with magical items, alchemists were back on top with potions, and even the Elves were mobilizing to make money with hunting and herbology.

In summary, they should be rewarded for such an act of humiliation! Dante was now even richer, as Hellsing received several school contracts, the White Witches of Morgana were busy selling knowledge. This was going too well, even Dante was surprised by it.

He didn't expect the world to turn so easily in this way and for a "Silly Winter Festival" to become a major commercial movement for an entire capital. He couldn't help but be completely annoyed to know that this idea came from those idiots he was going to kill, or rather, Devastate.

"Yes, that's fine," Dante replied, and she continued, "You must be Nagasawa Yamata, Morgana informed me about the circumstances of the two of you, so I asked you to come at this time." She explained and walked on showing the way.

"Is there a way for information to leak?" Dante questioned Luccy, who promptly gave him a smile.

"The contracts we have with the witches prevent any witch from entering here or hearing what's here, besides that the employees are widely instructed by death contracts if anything leaks out of here, this place is a vault of secrets, we have to ensure excellent service for all customers, right?" She said with a smile and finally reached an open room "Welcome to my beautiful workshop," she said looking at them and opened her arms and then, various outfits began to appear.

Overcoats, Suits, Boots, Bags, Coats, Wristbands, Gloves, chokers, Leather clothes and what caught Dante's attention the most, a red coat with wolf fur in shades of wine and red, with black leather details.

"First, Sir, I'll give you all the clothes we made with the rare material you brought, as a courtesy I also prepared something quite... unique. Let's say." She said with a smile and started showing the clothes to Dante.

Dante observed all the clothes, Luccy not only made clothes for him, but for Valentina and Morgana, as well as Nagasawa. Apparently, Morgana gave a good amount of gold to Luccy to become a sort of literally personal stylist. Dante thought it was just for now, but no, it seemed to be a lifelong contract.

While Dante looked at the clothes, he only thought about the Red Overcoat, or coat as he preferred to call it, he saw that and it was love at first sight, he always loved the red tone, this is reflected by Valentina and this overcoat was all he wanted, he took black pants, a long boot and the overcoat with a black shirt underneath.

"Luccy," Dante said and the woman looked at him immediately as Nagasawa came out of the dressing room, Nagasawa wore a full leather outfit biker style, he put on gloves and chokers and a boot full of thorns.

"Yes, Master Dante?" She questioned.

"Can I bring the beast skins I catch for you?" He said with a mischievous smile and Luccy seemed to agree and just nodded "Whenever you need."

"I understand, I'll treat you as a personal friend," Dante said and started to leave.

"Let's go Nagasawa," Dante said sucking all the clothes into his spatial ring. "We'll do Business Luccy!" Dante said waving as he grabbed a pair of red-lensed glasses, Nagasawa held his right arm, he left his hair completely white again.

He already looked like a certain someone.
