Event Story – You're my only Christmas, ch.5

[kozvme]

Nico: The amount of food I make isn't really a good example for a normal family.

 

Bianchi: You... do have a point.

 

Jude: Your food intake is insane.

 

Nico: Insane is the last word I want to hear from you.

Sage: I think we just need to bring out that home-cooked flavor.

 

Nico: If that's the case, then there's no problem.

 

Sage: Hehe, looks like Nico is officially in charge of cooking now.

 

Jude: In that case, I'll take care of the Christmas tree. I just need to get a fir tree, right?

 

Bianchi: Yeah, that's your specialty, so I’ll be counting on you for that.

 

Jude: Haha, you can count on me. I'll get the most amazing fir tree ready to match your faith in me.

Sage: So, what should I do? Should I find a suitable venue?

 

Bianchi: Can I ask you to help with Santa, dear?

 

Sage: Huh, me?

 

Bianchi: Sure, you could totally be Santa if you want? I can make a costume for you super quickly.

 

Sage: Me as Santa Claus, huh...

Nico: ......

Bianchi: ? Anything bothering you?

Sage: N- No, I just thought I might not look good since I've never wore one before.

I didn't dress up as Santa Claus during Christmas League either, remember?

Bianchi: That's true. In our first year, Robin was Santa and we were his reindeers.

Nico: Everyone wore a nose of their favorite color.

Jude: I still remember it. Wearing matching reindeer costumes with Bianchi was one of my best memories.
The fact that it was his reindeer costume was a bit annoying, though.

Bianchi: I dressed you as Santa at first, but then who was it that scared the kids to tears at our last event?

 

Jude: I had no idea. I was just trying to give them a thrill.

Bianchi: That's exactly why.

Nico: I think you would look great as Santa?

Sage: ... Really? I'm not so sure about that.

Bianchi: I think you'll look lovely? Like a rookie Santa Claus.

Jude: And let's not forget, Bianchi is the one making the costume. It has to look good on you.

Sage: If you say so, I’ll think about it.

Nico: Yeah, do that.

Bianchi: Now that the responsibilities have been sorted out, it's time to get everything ready.

Sage: Alright!

Nico: Got it.

Jude: Nico, can you help me out a bit?

Nico: ... I’d rather not.

Jude: Why not?

Nico: I have a pretty good idea of what you want me to do.

Jude: Well, that makes it easier. Just come pick me up at the place I tell you.

Nico: Ugh, I knew it...

Jude: I'll treat you to a meal worthy of the work. I'll let you eat as much meat or fish as you want.

Nico: In that case...

ー The next day.



Nico: This is the approximate location Jude sent.

This sound, don't tell me...

Jude: Alright.

Nico: Thought so…



Jude: Is that you, Nico? You showed up at just the right time.

I just finished cutting down some outstanding trees. There are 3 of them, so help me carry them.

Nico: ......

Jude: What's up? Are you hungry or something?

Nico: No. I’ve had my fill already.

Jude: What’s the issue then?

Nico: The view is crazy.

Jude: The view?

Nico: You're scarier than usual when you're carrying a chainsaw.

Jude: I’m jealous that just me holding a chainsaw can make you feel scared.
Come on, get the trees and me out of here, hurry.

Nico: Huh? What about your bag and stuff?

Jude: There’s nothing here. Just this.

Nico: ... So, how did you even bring the chainsaw all the way here?

Jude: What do you think? I just carried it, obviously.

You didn’t bring me here, so I took a taxi.

Nico: Huh...
