Event Story – You're my only Christmas, ch.7

[kozvme]

 

Jude: What’s there to be uncomfortable about? All he has to do is say what he wants, no?

Sage: That's probably because...

Bianchi: Jude, you know that Santa Claus only comes to good kids, right?

Jude: Of course, Bianchi.
But he paid me a visit as well, so I guess 'good' has a loose definition here.

Nico: You might have a point. He's also came to a family of mafiosi.

Bianchi: ... Some families are like that, but typically, parents say he only comes to good kids, right?
And then they say that the naughty kids get a visit from Black Santa.

Sage: A former kid from Thonis even wrote about it in a letter, right?

Bianchi: I got curious and asked my little brother about it, and it seems like the kids are all talking about this Black Santa.
It's like one of those short-lived ghost stories, I suppose?

Sage: Licht-kun probably heard that and is thinking he might be a naughty kid...

Nico: That seems pretty likely.

Jude: If it were up to me, I'd prefer Black Santa. I feel like he could bring me some excitement.

Nico: That's just you, Jude.

Bianchi: Listen, dear. Would it be okay if I handle things with Licht?

Sage: Huh, you, Bianchi-san?

Bianchi: I feel like I'm more cut out for this than you. And I really understand what Licht is going through.

Sage: ...I see, thanks, Bianchi-san. Sorry to bother you when you're busy, but I really appreciate it.

Bianchi: Sure thing, leave it to me ♪



Licht: Bye...

School bus driver: Yeah, goodbye. Take care on your way home.

Licht: ......

Bianchi: Hi, Licht.

Licht: ... Bianchi? Hello.
Are you taking the bus to go somewhere?

Bianchi: No, I wanted to ask you for a small favor, so I checked in with Sage and hung out here.

Licht: ... Me?

Bianchi: I have something I need help with. Would you mind joining me?

 

Licht: If you're okay with me...

 

Bianchi: Fufu, thanks!

Licht: But, what do you need help with?

Bianchi: I guess you could say it has to do with Santa Claus' job?

Licht: Santa Claus'?

Bianchi: Phew, I finally got it! Who knew it would be this popular...

Thank you for coming to my rescue~ You're the best ♪

 

Licht: It's really not that big of a deal... It's just a popular toy at school...

 

Bianchi: But finding it was quite the challenge.

I can't exactly check with the person if it's what they wanted.

 

Licht: Hehe, even Santa Claus has his struggles.

 

Bianchi: For sure, it's not an easy job at all.

But you know, it's fun too.

Licht: ......

Bianchi: Say, how about having some cake? I’ll treat you as a thank you!

Licht: When I get home, Sage or Nico will be making dinner for me.

Bianchi: I heard from those two that they’ll be a bit late today. So, enjoying a little treat should be okay.

 

Licht: ......

Bianchi: Let's have some tea?

Licht: If it's only for a short while...
