Chapter 400: Profane Human Blaspheming the Gods!
After Jashin-chan left, the atmosphere in the living room stagnated slightly.
Ryohei returned to the sofa and sat down, crossed his arms, thought for a moment, and said: "I plan to sell Lucky Bags for two days."
"Lucky Bags?"
Yurine, Lucoa, Pekola, and Second looked over in surprise upon hearing this.
"Mn." Ryohei nodded and smiled: "Just happen to be relatively free these few days."
This wave was a spur of the moment thing!
"Onii-chan."
Sitting cross-legged on the sofa with her slender legs wrapped in white silk, Second asked with great interest: "What will be put in the Lucky Bags?"
"Put desserts and some instant food."
Ryohei tilted his head slightly, paused, and said: "After Christmas, sell them in the dessert shop."
"Oh, then I want to reserve two of the most expensive ones; just deduct the money from my salary." Second raised her hand energetically.
(￣▽￣)ノ
"I want some too..."
Yurine had a thought, planning to send one to each relative's family as a courtesy.
"Money..."
"Talking about money makes us strangers; pay with your body (flesh)."
Ryohei reached out and pulled Yurine onto his lap.
"Speak properly!"
Yurine nudged Ryohei's chest lightly with her elbow, the corners of her lips curling up: "Actually, I didn't intend to pay money either. Not only that, I want to take you back with me."
"Eh? You are so greedy!" Ryohei joked.
"Ryohei-kun, I also want a batch of Lucky Bags, choosing to pay with my body." Lucoa suddenly spoke, her voice carrying a trace of lazy charm.
"Mn? Ryohei-kun, what do you say?"
Yurine glanced at Lucoa, turned her head back, and looked at Ryohei with a bright smile.
"..." Pekola, who was about to say something, paused, preparing to see how Ryohei would answer first.
"Ah this—! I think..." Ryohei pondered for two seconds. Yurine rolled her eyes at him and nudged him slightly harder with her elbow: "Go on a date with me tomorrow."
"Hiss... O-okay!" He sucked in a breath of cold air and agreed.
"This family status... when will Ryohei-kun be able to stand up!" Lucoa shook her head and sighed softly, her words carrying a hint of "hating iron for not becoming steel."
Feeling insinuated, Ryohei's mouth twitched slightly. He picked Yurine up and put her aside, stood up, and walked over.
He put one hand on his waist, looking down: "Aren't I standing up right now?"
Lucoa opened the eyelid of her left eye, looked at Ryohei with great surprise, suddenly covered her mouth, turned her face away, and said: "Too pathetic; I don't even want to talk about you."
"But I see you talking quite happily now."
Ryohei pressed Lucoa's slender shoulders, pushed her down onto the sofa, and slapped the rounded curve under that black pencil skirt twice with a Pa Pa.
Then he raised his head, looked naturally at Pekola beside him, and asked: "Pekola, do you want a Lucky Bag?"
"Want, no money, won't give even if I had." Pekola answered with a cool voice.
"Holy crap!"
Ryohei was speechless for a moment, leaning back: "How do you have the nerve to say such things!"
He took a step forward and let Pekola experience the treatment Lucoa just received.
"Presumptuous human! I will sue you for blaspheming the gods!"
Pekola lay half-prone on the sofa, speaking in a monotonous tone without fluctuations.
"..."
Sitting on the single sofa, the child Second felt somewhat out of place.
She lowered her head to look at her handheld console, trying hard to divert her attention.
The next day, December 24th.
Christmas Eve!
The day before Christmas, but the Christmas atmosphere on the streets was already very strong. Neon string lights wrapped around street trees, and red, green, gold, and white decorations could be seen everywhere.
Ryohei and Yurine went out in the morning, watched a movie, found a private kitchen for lunch at noon, and then went to Roppongi to choose Christmas gifts for each other.
Christmas in Japan is also a holiday for couples, with the custom of exchanging gifts.
Holding hands, the two strolled on the streets of Roppongi, passing by a uniform shop. Ryohei looked into the shop through the bright window, paused, turned his head, and suggested:
"Yurine, want to try on a Christmas uniform? Feel like you'd look very cute wearing it!"
"You want to see?"
Yurine looked at the few red and white uniforms hanging beside the Christmas tree in the shop, then her gaze fell back on Ryohei.
"Mn, want to see." He nodded honestly.
"Then satisfy you!"
The corners of Yurine's lips curled up. She pulled Ryohei's hand and stepped into the shop; warmth mixed with the unique scent of new clothes hit their faces.
"Welcome!"
Immediately, a sales lady greeted them with a smile.
"Let me see your Christmas uniforms." Yurine said, walking straight towards the uniforms with Christmas elements.
"Certainly." The sales lady followed, praising enthusiastically: "These Christmas uniforms of ours are all this year's new models; guaranteed not to disappoint you."
"Mn." Yurine responded casually, not taking it seriously.
Just sales talk.
"..." Ryohei followed close to take a look and found that besides a few sets of red and white "Santa Claus" outfits, there were actually a few reindeer outfits next to them.
There were fluffy jumpsuit styles and two-piece skirt sets. Antler headbands and bell chokers hung cutely beside the clothes rack.
Yurine naturally saw them too, but her gaze quickly returned to the few "Santa Claus" outfits. She hadn't worn a "Santa Claus" outfit yet, so it was quite fresh for her now.
"This set is the most popular style in our shop; want to try it?" The sales lady enthusiastically recommended a Christmas uniform with a small hooded cape.
"Mn, I want size S."
Yurine looked at it, felt it was pleasing to the eye, and decided to try it on.
"Okay."
The sales lady responded, quickly found the size S trial outfit from the shelf, handed it to Yurine, and gestured sideways: "The fitting room is over here."
"Mn... Ryohei-kun, help me hold my bag." Yurine took the trial outfit, took off the shoulder bag, and handed it to Ryohei.
"Okay."
Ryohei responded, took the bag and slung it over his shoulder, watching Yurine walk into the fitting room with the uniform.
He waited outside for a while, then heard a soft click. The fitting room door was pushed open from the inside—
Santa Claus Limited Edition Yurine walked out from within...
