Shizuka, what kind of person do you take me for?
Godou contemplated whether or not to confirm with Shizuka at this late point in time. No matter what, the location of the party was already decided on. He also sent an email notification to Ena who returned to her parent's house at Chichibu after the battle at Kasai.
'Understood. Ena can bring all kinds of food.'
He received a concise reply from her.
And as such, December 24th, Christmas Eve, had arrived at last.
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon on the 24th, Godou received three emails from Nanami, Takagi, and Sorimachi.
All of the emails were briefly written. Nanami's email didn't even contain any words, just a sole picture attachment.
'We just began scaling this dangerously steep slope'-Sorimachi
‘Without an understanding of love, you won't be able to understand this sorrow'-Takagi
There was also the photo attachment by Nanami.
The scene he saw in the photo was Nanami, Takagi, and Sorimachi cutting up a Christmas cake and preparing a barbecue with the camping tools at some unknown park. There wasn't anyone else in the photo besides them. It seems like a gathering with just the three of them.
By the way, the three of them all expressed a look of complete discontent.
Instead, there was a sense of solemnity wafting around as they stared at the food with a challenging expression.
Godou unwittingly looked up towards the sky. It was an abnormally clear day, the atmosphere of a snowy Christmas did not seem to be in sight. However, not only was there fierce winds today, it was also very chilly.
——Today seems quite unsuitable for an outdoor barbecue...
While emotionally staring at the picture of the three idiots, Godou felt a bit doleful. What intense emotional disturbance occurred to cause something to this extent?
"Is there something wrong onii-sama?"
"Umm, yeah. It's the email I got from my friends from class. Although I planned on inviting them to attend today's gathering, however for some reason my invitation was declined."
Because of the winter solstice incident that led to Godou's surroundings being turned into a mess, the three idiots gave off the impression that they have seen through everything. However, how come after everything returned to normal, these guys are even more depressed than before the incident's occurrence?
"Well, I guess they’re pretty happy this way so whatever."
Godou muttered to himself as he walked with Hikari along the streets of Akasaka. They were going to pick up the cake they ordered for today’s party. The two of them met up in the morning and embarked on the bakery after eating lunch.
Afterwards, they were currently on their way back. Godou was carrying a bag that contained a square box.
“There’s going to be many people attending. It should be quite exciting.”
Godou and Hikari, who cheerfully spoke, were heading towards the station.
——By the way.
The reason why he was with Hikari was actually because of the request Erica brought up after the battle at Kasai. Like a noblewoman at the time, she firmly stated:
‘Hey Godou, lovers in Japan all go on a date just between the two of them on Christmas Eve right? Since it’s like that, would it be alright if we did the same as well?’
‘Eh?’
‘Well, however, there are other girls besides me, Erica Blandelli, present. So for that reason I’m willing to grant you the privilege of selecting whoever you want.’
‘W-What? It was hard enough taking care of these various situations, don’t start with this strange nonsense!’
‘That’s right Erica, right now the most pressing matter to discuss should be the issue regarding the crisis aftermath...’
Godou was panic stricken. Liliana, who was by his side, intended on making an excuse.
However, Erica calmly revealed a demoness smile towards all this.
‘Since for some reason you guys are so mindful towards what I’m saying, then let me ask you two a question first. When you guys were up there battling, how did you guys forge the sword?’
‘Huh?!’ ‘What!?’
Godou and Liliana were completely speechless towards the blissfully smiling Erica.
‘Speaking of which Godou, you can’t say it was forced upon you due to the situation... Or anything along those lines. Liliana, despite your persistent adherence to the ways of a knight, you still preemptively went in without any hesitation. So who are you going to pick out of us?’
‘She’s right, even if you occasionally perform such actions, it still isn't worthy of a punishment.’
Ena nodded towards what Erica had stated.
‘Originally I had wanted Yuri and Ena accompany Your Majesty somewhere together, however today I kind of want Your Majesty to only select Ena.’
‘A-Actually.’
Lastly, even Yuri shyly spoke up in a firm tone.
‘Perhaps Godou-san goes beyond just occasionally in initiating these matters.’
Afterwards, the girls all fixated their gaze at Godou.
They all showed a wordless expression that urged him to promptly make a selection. No matter who he selected, it would definitely result in controversy. Being instinctively aware of this aspect, Godou yelled out:
‘H-Hikari! Then I’ll go with Hikari. We had already arranged this before!’
Being the older one, the option of looking over the youngest child was of course the proper and unpunishable one.
That night, Godou was fortunate to have Hikari present as they walked along the road to the meeting place of the Christmas party. The twelve year-old girl by his side was cheerfully smiling.
“Hey onii-sama, I don’t mind if you have to rely on me during times like these.”
She cheerfully spoke with a tone of reliability that also seemed to make him feel his future was bleak.
Within the living room of the Kusanagi household, his sister Shizuka spoke while holding back her rage.
“All the way up until this year, I had always monitored onii-chan very closely so he doesn't stray to the path of evil.”
“Turn evil? Godoh-kun is a proper and well-behaved kid.”
Revealing a warm smile, the person who joyously spoke was Koudzuki Sakura.
It could be said that she was the equivalent of a relative to Godou and Shizuka.
“Only the aspect of a proper child holds true. However, onii-chan is definitely not a well-behaved child! Throughout the many generations of men in the Kusanagi family, the only one who showed any capabilities was grandpa. That person took care of onii-chan ever since he was in kindergarten. Furthermore, the misbehaving bloodline that wasn't even cured during any of the generations had been inherited from father!”
"Hehehe, grandpa and Genzou-san are both outgoing people."
Towards Shizuka who was getting more and more agitated as she spoke, Sakura calmly nodded along the entire time.
"If you just mean outgoing then that's fine, but those two are definitely indecent people. Despite onii-chan being an honest and decent person, he gives people the impression that he is firmly on the path of going rogue. Jeez, how come all the men within the family are so troublesome..."
"I see, looks like there's a steady trend of people being born like this."
Upon hearing Shizuka despairingly comment, the girl by her side who was attentively listening acted as if she was well-versed in these matters.
Shizuka, what kind of person do you take me for?
Godou contemplated whether or not to confirm with Shizuka at this late point in time. No matter what, the location of the party was already decided on. He also sent an email notification to Ena who returned to her parent's house at Chichibu after the battle at Kasai.
