This is not the date I wanted.

Glancing back briefly, Meng Yue deliberately gave a malicious smile.

"Hmm! What an outrageous tone you have, my compatriot. Alright! I accept the bet. The one who will expose your family's shame today will be you! Mengyue!"

"There is a flaw~"

"Eh? Wait—"

Provoked, Yakuya relaxed his concentration on the game for a moment, Mengyue did not miss this flaw, and a set of inhumane infinite aerial combos directly knocked Yakuya's character to zero health.

"The world of games is just as ruthless as the real world~"

Meng Yue sighed self-absorbedly.

"It's over. Yakushi lost."

"Wow...why is this happening again..."

With a bit of resentment in her eyes, she waited for Xixian and Mengyue, but she was willing to accept defeat. After a long time, Yejushi blushed and whispered a word.

“……………………very gentle.”

"Confused. Yakushi's voice was too quiet, and Yuigen couldn't hear it clearly."

It seemed that she had the idea of ​​teasing Yakushi, and Yui had a very "happy" smile.

“Ku——!”

Tears of shame welled up in the corners of his eyes. Yakushi clenched his teeth and finally shouted in self-destruction.

"Very! Very gentle! Are you satisfied that I like Shidou the most? ! ...

Boom-!

Just then, there seemed to be a sound of something hitting the door frame.

Not good!

The moment she heard the voice, Meng Yue knew that something was wrong with Shidao.

"This sound?"

"Shocked. Could it be Santa Claus?"

Naturally, the sudden noise in the room attracted the attention of the Yami sisters. Seeing that Shidou and the others were about to be exposed, Mengyue suddenly thought of an idea and shouted, pointing at the empty balcony.

"Look! Santa Claus shows up!"

"What? Where is Mengyue?"

"Sure. Did you really see it, Mengyue?"

The Yamai sisters immediately turned and looked towards the balcony.

"Yes, there is no doubt about it. Just now, an old man wearing red and white clothes and carrying a big bag came down from the balcony. That must be Santa Claus."

Meng Yue nodded affirmatively.

"It's exactly the same as described in the story. It's definitely the real thing!"

"I suddenly realize. There is no chimney here, so I took the photo from the balcony."

The target they had been waiting for all night finally appeared, and both Yui and Yakuya seemed very excited.

"Kuku - wait for Santa Claus for me. Today, the Son of Hurricane will lift the veil of mystery on you."

"Boiling. Capture operation ready to begin."

Without saying a word, Yui and Yakuya stood up and ran out of the room like a hurricane, without even glancing towards the dormitory.

"Huh... so dangerous."

After letting out a long sigh of relief, Meng Yue looked towards the dormitory helplessly.

"You can come out now. Really, be careful with your actions, both of you."

"Haha...Mengyue, you're so helpful. Thank you very much."

Pushing open the door of the dormitory, Shidao walked out in a cold sweat.

"Sorry... Mengyue... It's me. The corner of my clothes accidentally touched the door frame."

As she spoke, Ling Yin, who was wearing the Xunlu puppet costume, slowly bent down, as if apologizing for her mistake.

"Well, at least everything is fine."

Indeed, such a puppet costume would be quite stable when moving, and Meng Yue had no intention of blaming him. He let out a light breath, quickly adjusted his mood, and prepared to go with Shidao to distribute the remaining gifts.

(I feel a little sorry for Yui and Yakuya.)

It was the first time Mengyue lied to her family, and she couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

however--

"Found it. Santa Claus!"

"Chase closely! I will never let you get away!"

--Eh?

Thanks to the elf's superior hearing, Mengyue accidentally heard the excited shouts of the Yami sisters outside the apartment and was suddenly stunned.

Mengyue's Santa Claus (IV)

==============================

"Yawn! Oops, I was too impatient and forgot to put on my warm robes before going out into battle."

"Shiver. Santa was unexpectedly agile. It was a mistake not to prepare for a prolonged battle outdoors."

As they ran outside wearing only indoor clothes, the "sons of the wind" who claimed to be fearless of winter soon ran back shivering because they could not withstand the severe cold, just as Meng Yue expected.

"What are you doing..."

Meng Yue couldn't help but sigh helplessly, took out a coat from the closet and put it on the two of them, and handed them a cup of hot milk.

"Huh. I feel alive again."

"Awesome. Mengyue is still as considerate as ever."

Raising their mugs and taking a sip of hot milk, the Yami sisters' expressions gradually relaxed.

"After drinking this glass of milk, go to bed early. Now that he has been discovered, Santa Claus will probably not come again for a while."

Although I am very curious about who the person who was able to escape from the pursuit of the Yamai sisters is, since they said that the other person was also wearing a Santa Claus costume, maybe he is a nearby neighbor who plans to give gifts to his family like Shidou.

Originally, Mengyue thought that the Yamai sisters would protest to her like "The night has just begun!", "We need to get ready before catching Santa Claus", etc., but this time unexpectedly, Yui and Yakuya nodded very straightforwardly.

"What a shame. It's a pity, but like Meng Yue said, let's stop here today."

"Although I am still full of fighting spirit, it is true that I will give up today. After all, I need to conserve my energy for going out tomorrow - hmm."

Before Yakuya could finish his words, Yuigen gently nudged Yakuya with his elbow.

"Go out, Yakushi, what are you going to do tomorrow?"

Meng Yue couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Answer me. Yakuya is going on a sweet date with Yui tomorrow. Right, Yakuya?"

After answering Meng Yue lightly, Xi Xian turned to confirm with Yakushiya, to which Yakushiya nodded in understanding.

"Yes, yes! That's right. Although it is against my principles to travel on the day of God's birthday, I will make an exception this time for the sake of my most lovely half."

"Oh, that's how it is."

A look of realization appeared on Mengyue's face.

Speaking of which, these two people can indeed be said to be in a relationship as a couple, and it is not strange for them to go out together and show their love on holidays like Christmas.

"Forget it. Then it's about time for me to go back to bed. Good night, both of you."

Meng Yue shook her head with a wry smile, and did not doubt him. After saying goodbye to the two, she went to find Shidou who had already gone to distribute the next set of gifts.

——————————————I am the dividing line for transferring scenes————————————

After confirming Shidou's location from Reine, Mengyue took the elevator and came to the top floor of the Elf Apartment - the floor where Nanashi lived.

"Mengyue, you're here."

In front of the door in the corridor, Mengyue saw Shidao who was about to invade - no, about to sneak into Nanashi's room.

"Shidou, have you finished distributing the presents to Miku?"

Mengyue asked. Today, Miku will stay in room 901 on the floor above the Yamai sisters. After all, she is Miku, and she might ask for something like "I want a whole swimsuit photo album of Darling (♀)". Mengyue originally thought that Shidou would spend a lot of time with Miku.

"Well, about this, actually..."

Hearing this, Shidou scratched his cheek in embarrassment and explained to Mengyue.

Indeed, after leaving the eighth floor, Shidou did go to the ninth floor where Miku was. However, Miku was not in the room.

"Kotori said she would help me find Miku's actions. So I came to Nanashi first."

"Forehead……"

As if she had thought of something, Meng Yue showed a very subtle expression.

"Mengyue, have you thought of anything?"

"Well, that's about right. Let's go prepare the gifts for the Seven Sins first."

Meng Yue sighed softly, opened the door handle and was about to go in. But then, she seemed to remember something and turned to ask Shidao.

"Speaking of which, Shidou, what gifts did Yui and Yakuya want?"

"Eh? Well, Yakuya wants a piece of silver jewelry, and Yui wants a digital camera."

Although he was a little surprised by Mengyue's sudden question, Shidou still answered honestly.

"That's it."

This is a very normal thing. Meng Yue couldn't help but think. She was a little concerned about Yakushi's reaction just now, but it seemed that the two of them were still the same as usual.

Tiptoeing into Nanashi's room, Shidou took out a folded note from the bedside of Nanashi.

"……Book?"

Shidao couldn't help but frowned slightly. It wasn't because this gift was difficult to get, but he found that next to this text, there was a trace of a sign pen that had been hastily scribbled over.

After taking out a flashlight and observing carefully, Mengyue and Shidao discovered that the words "makeup supplies" were once written on it.

They looked at each other helplessly. For a moment, Shidou and Mengyue thought of what happened a few hours ago when they wrote down their wishes after struggling for a long time, and then they fell into self-loathing for making the wish because of some negative thinking, and finally hurriedly crossed out the information on the note. In the end, Nanashi chose to do it hastily, and then gave up on himself and covered himself with the sheets and fell asleep.

(Unfortunately, it is impossible to hide anything from Santa Claus, Seven Sins.)

After thinking for a while, Shidou said to Kotori.

"Kotori, please prepare a set of makeup tools and cosmetics. Also, an introductory book on basic makeup. Yes, yes! Nanashi's skin is a little dry, so it's better to choose a moisturizing toner. Don't forget the lotion. Although I really want to prepare a variety of different blushes and lip glosses, it's better to use less conspicuous colors at the beginning. As for books, I think Komeisha's "Basic Makeup Techniques That Don't Damage the Skin" is very good. There are also others... What, what's wrong, Mengyue, do you have any suggestions?"

Halfway through his words, Shidou suddenly found that Mengyue was looking at him with a very satisfied smile, which made him feel uncomfortable.

"No, nothing. You're a very good Santa, Shiori-chan~"

"Forehead!"

When Shidao heard Mengyue's address, he suddenly realized that his suggestion didn't sound like it was coming from a boy. Although he wanted to retort, "Who is Shiori?", it was not convincing at this moment, and Shidao couldn't help but feel a faint sadness in his chest.

"Hmm... well... uh..."

Suddenly, Nanashi on the bed let out a low moan, which made Shidao so nervous that he held his breath.

I thought Nanashi was woken up by me, but after a while, Nanashi didn't turn over from the bed.

"What's wrong? A nightmare?"

Seeing that the part of Nanashi covered by the quilt was much larger than Nanashi herself, Shidou couldn't help but worry whether her spiritual power was reversing due to a nightmare.

"No... Maybe it's a little different from what you think, Shidou."

Unlike Shidao, Mengyue seemed much calmer at this time, and came to Nanashi's bedside and gently lifted the sheets.

"That's disgusting... You can't do this..."

What appeared in front of the two people was Miku, who was hugging Nanashi with a happy look on her face and mumbling in her sleep.

"........."
