An ordinary profession creates the world's strongest

"Uh, oh."

Seeing her daughter's talent for stirring up trouble was similar to her father's, Remia couldn't help but look away. Her smile was terrifying, and Hajime couldn't help but nod in agreement.

But no matter what, it is a fact that Myuu had a lot of fun.

"Anyway..."

Hajime pulled out his phone and looked at Yue and the others. They were not only happily watching Myuu's impressive display of prowess, but were also happily playing shooting games themselves.

Everyone nodded simultaneously. Without another word, they each took out their phones.

Needless to say, in order to capture Miao's brave and handsome appearance, the whole family worked together seamlessly to take photos of Miao from all angles.

"...I should ask Senpai to train me again."

No one noticed the eldest sister's dejected look, filled with a sense of defeat.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

The sun had already set, but at this hour, the amusement park was ablaze with colorful neon lights, their dazzling glow seemingly chasing away the darkness of the night.

On the park's central avenue, the background music and the atmosphere were filled with the spirit of Christmas. Visitors gathered one after another. At the front of the crowd—

“Ah, it’s started!”

Myuu, who was held by Hajime, said this while pointing to the front of the avenue, his expression brighter than the neon lights.

What caught her attention was the night parade. Because it was Christmas season, the parade was even grander and more luxurious than usual, and the gathered spectators cheered.

"Ah! They're just like Myuu and Mom!"

"Oh my god~ Really. Those older sisters are so beautiful."

A graceful mermaid sits atop a parade float adorned with beautiful shells, pearls, and various marine creatures. As the mermaid waves, a cloud of floating foam erupts into the air, reflecting vibrant colors under the lights, creating a dreamlike spectacle.

In addition, Myuu and Remia were a little confused at first about the fact that the lower body of the mermaids on Earth was completely a fish tail, but they still liked it unexpectedly.

...The following summer, they used magic to transform into Earth mermaids and played in the water at the beach. They were accidentally witnessed by diving tourists and caused an uproar, which is another story.

"...Myuu, there's a vampire too. Look, over there."

"Ah~ There's me too~"

"Hmm, so there aren't any dragon people after all... But at least there are dragons, so I can accept that."

"In that case, the princess is Lily, and the angel is me. As for Shizuku... she must be the swordsman, right?"

"But that angel doesn't seem to have any violent tendencies at all... and the swordsman is a bearded man. As for me... no, I still have a future and will continue to grow!"

"Never mind, never mind. Let's not make a fuss about such a small matter. Right, Lily?"

Seeing the shocking difference in bust size, Liliana touched her chest. Shizuku smiled wryly to comfort her.

In any case, everyone found a character similar to themselves in the parade, which was quite fun.

"Ah, there are people with guns too! So they're just like Dad!"

"Is that a ray gun? I remember it being the star of a science fiction movie."

Finally finding a character like Hajime in the parade, Myuu beamed with joy. However, there was one person who couldn't find a similar character no matter how hard she looked...

“…Aiko-nee-san… What a pity…”

"N-Never mind. A character like a teacher doesn't have any instantly recognizable characteristics... ahahaha."

The little girl's pitying gaze was unexpectedly heartbreaking. Although Aiko pretended to be calm, a little bit of her heart was still weeping.

Everyone happily watched the night parade. When the second half of the procession came before them—

Hajime slowly put Myuu down. Myuu looked up at her with a puzzled look on her face.

"Myuu, Dad suddenly remembered something urgent. I'll be back soon, you stay here and wait with Mom and the others."

"……yes."

Myuu's expression was clearly frustrated. However, since it was an urgent matter, there was nothing he could do; he had to endure it. Myuu's obvious expression of this state of mind touched the heart of Hajime's father, and he almost vomited blood.

However, today was a special day. It was the first Christmas for Myuu, Yue, and the others. Therefore, Hajime wanted to create a special memory no matter what. For his beloved daughter and family.

“…Hehe, go ahead, Hajime.”

Like Shia, Yue and the others also vaguely sensed Hajime's intentions, with meaningful smiles on their faces and clear understanding in their eyes.

"Ah—yeah. I'll be leaving then."

Hajime felt a little embarrassed and scratched his head. Although he was reluctant to leave the lonely Myuu and wanted to stay, he quickly merged into the crowd.

"Myuu, don't worry. Dad will be back soon."

“…Hmm!”

Remia gently patted Myuu's head. Myuu perked up and responded with a cheerful smile. A cheerful smile returned to her face, and she watched the parade intently, enjoying it.

However, without my beloved father around, I still can't be happy and satisfied.

"...Isn't Dad coming back yet?"

The parade was almost over. The end of the team was almost in sight. I really wanted to watch the parade leave with my father... Thinking of this, Myuu couldn't help but feel depressed again. At this moment -

Clang clang clang, clang clang clang...the crisp bell sounds.

At first, everyone thought it was the sound of the parade. However, as the ringing grew louder, people began to think something was wrong. This was because the ringing sounded like it was coming from above.

After the end of the parade passed by, everyone's eyes turned upwards.

What they saw was—

"Ah, it's Santa Claus!"

A boy pointed to the sky and shouted. Then—

"Huh!? No way! It's flying!?" "How did it do that!?" "Is that a real reindeer? That can't be possible!" "Wow! It looks like the real Santa Claus!" Cheers and exclamations rang out one after another.

Yes, that was undoubtedly Santa Claus, a figure dressed in red and white with a thick white beard, flying through the sky in a sleigh pulled by sturdy reindeer.

Everyone speculated: was it a sling, a projection of smoke in the air, or perhaps the most advanced drone technology? However, even with these technologies, the scene before us was so vivid, lifelike, and smooth that it was impossible to tell what principle was used to fly in the sky.

Witnessing such a truly extraordinary phenomenon, people would normally be filled with confusion and panic. Some might even scream in fear.

However, this is a fantasy land, another world decorated with the unreal and extraordinary.

Therefore, the change of mind was relatively easy. No need to worry about the details, it was just a wonderful performance - the stunned people quickly changed their minds and cheered.

Even the performers in the parade were so surprised that they stopped and joined the audience, even the staff around them stood there in a daze with a look on their faces as if they had witnessed a UFO, even if they knew nothing about the performance before them, as long as they witnessed Santa Claus descending from the sky on Christmas night, no one could care less about the strangeness and irrationality behind the scene.

Santa Claus, soaring in the starry sky, then descended while spinning like a spiral staircase in the sky, heading to a certain point on Central Avenue, behind the parade that had already passed.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Santa Claus got off his sleigh, walked up to a little Santa Claus with wide eyes in the crowd, and knelt on one knee in front of her.

"Merry Christmas, little lady. My little compatriot."

Santa Claus had a hoarse voice, round glasses, and a full white beard, making it impossible to see his features. His belly was also huge and round. Who could he be? No, Myuu certainly didn't think that.

"Dad, what are you doing?"

Suddenly, Santa looked frozen. "How did you know...?!" He must have been thinking this, visibly wavering. Yue and the others could tell at a glance that he must be in this state, and they couldn't help but burst out laughing.

“……………………I’m not Dad, I’m Santa Claus.”

"Eh? But..."

"I'm Santa Claus."

"Dad—"

"Santa Claus."

"Uh, yes."

At this point, there was no other way but to insist. He was clearly trying desperately to conceal his feelings. Therefore, Myuu nodded obediently. What an obedient child.

Yue and the others looked miserable. They wisely tried their best to suppress their laughter, but their backs, facing away from them, trembled constantly. Santa Claus felt extremely embarrassed.

Then he gave an exaggerated, dry cough in an old man's voice.

"Well, little lady. You've behaved well this whole year and have worked hard to overcome all the difficulties. I'm sure your father and mother are proud of you."

"……!dad……"

"It's Santa Claus."

"Ah, yes."

Someone let out a loud laugh. Who was it? Kaori or Shizuku? "Talk to me later"—Santa's eyes seemed to say. Then, he coughed dryly.

"Because you are such a good child, Santa Claus must give you a present."

"Gift?"

Miao asked, tilting his head. A large crowd of onlookers had gathered around him. Tourists, eager to see what was going on, crowded onto the central avenue.

As everyone watched, Santa took out a box from a large white bag on his sleigh.

It was a lovely box, shaped like a treasure chest, its surface studded with shimmering gemstones. Its exquisite design could have been a gift in itself. The onlookers exclaimed in admiration. Some girls even begged their parents for a similar box.

Myuu took the adorable treasure box and looked at it, asking, "Can I open it?" Santa nodded in agreement.

Miu gently opened the box. The people around him, curious about what was inside, watched intently.

"ah."

Myuu couldn't help but cry out, and her originally confused expression blossomed into a smile like a blooming flower.

It must be a children's accessory or a cute character accessory—that's what the onlookers thought. However, what Myuu took out of the box was—

"It's Donal and Shulakey~!"

They turned out to be two revolvers.

The onlookers were stunned. This was a natural reaction—Yue and the others thought with a wry smile.

Why a model gun!? It has absolutely nothing to do with this theme park, right? If it's a gift, it shouldn't be something like this, right? The crowd erupted in discussion, with complaints like this circulating one after another.

"Finally got it!" However, the person who received the gift was overjoyed and seemed to be happy from the bottom of his heart.

Of course, the normal people watching didn't know that although the two pistols had been modified to suit Myu's body shape, they were still undoubtedly real guns.

I don’t know if this cute little Santa girl in front of me has always wanted these two guns since she started her combat training, and now she finally got what she wanted.

"My dear lady, these two guns are not Donal & Hulak, but Donana & Hulala."

"Donana & Hurara?"

"Yeah. Donana & Hurara."

This seems to be a very important matter, Santa Claus repeatedly pointed it out, and at the same time he searched in the gift bag. It seems that there is more than one gift.

"Also, to wish you to be as strong as a certain cheating rabbit, I'll give you this 'Bengpeng Hammer'."

"Bang Bang Hammer~!"

"Don't be like some stupid dragon. 'This is a weapon, isn't it?'"

"This is a weapon, isn't it~!"

"And don't forget this. This is 'Mura Masaru'. And—"

"Muramasa~!"

"This is 'Tiger Tiger Iron'."

"Tora-Tetsu~!"

Myuu was extremely excited because she had obtained all the weapons (children's version) of the sisters she admired.

They are a war hammer that looks like a toy hammer, a white whip decorated with a cute bow, two small swords with star-shaped hilts, a gun strap and a chest strap for storing weapons, and a magical gem set called "Sister Moon's Love".

Myuu started training because she wanted to become stronger. As her father's daughter, she wanted to protect everyone important to her. She also wanted to be as handsome as Yue and the others. She hoped that one day it would be her turn to protect her family.

These Christmas gifts are rewards and expectations for Mu who exercises so seriously.

Myu held the gifts with all her heart, treating them like precious treasures. Then, she let Remia hold them for her, feeling so moved she couldn't contain herself anymore, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Dad—Santa Claus! Thank you! I love you so much!"

With a leap, he threw himself into Santa Claus' arms.

Since the gifts were all of that kind, the onlookers were naturally confused, though some of the boys' eyes were clearly sparkling.
