…
Fushimi Kyoji raised his hand, ready to knock on the door of the Guardian of Valyare.
The owner of the room seemed to know in advance that there would be guests, and the door was swished open from the inside.
He obviously didn't control the force, and a noticeable gust of wind was created in front of the player.
The tall man standing there like an iron tower stared at the player in silence.
A spiky haircut, slightly serious and tough facial features, and lightning-like sideburns.
This was the first time that Fushimi Kyoji noticed the appearance of this Raimori.
The person in front of him looked the player up and down with a not-so-friendly look, and raised the end of his eyebrow slightly, pulling the thin chain connected to the lip ring at the top of his eyebrow.
"Are you the new recruit that Squalo recruited?"
Wow…
It doesn't seem to be very welcoming to players.
He crossed his arms, his burly figure almost wider than the door frame. "Nothing more than that."
"I don't see anything that's worthy of the boss's attention."
Levi snorted coldly, and Fushimi Kyoji subtly sensed...jealousy from his tone?
However, the other party is currently just talking and has not done anything malicious.
Fushimi Kyoki handed the prepared gift to Levi.
Probably thinking it was material related to the quest, he took it directly from the player's hand. The size difference between the two of them instantly seemed smaller when the gift box was in his hand, which was clearly visible.
When he saw the package with strong Christmas elements in his hand, Levi was stunned at first, then looked down thoughtfully: "Are you trying to please me with sugar-coated bullets?"
Fushimi Kyoji, having heard what he had said, thought he had given the wrong gift. The next second, Levi couldn't help but curl his lips, barely concealing his pride. "Hmph, I didn't expect even the newbies would think I, Levi, was the most prized Guardian by the boss, and they're vying to curry my favor."
Actually... other Guardian players also gave it away.
Now it's your turn to speak in order of rooms...
and.
Isn't Squalo the one XANXUS values the most...?
"But, Christmas..." Levi fell into a state of inexplicable contemplation, his eyes scanning over with vigilance, "Have you ever given the boss a Christmas present?"
Well, to be precise, I encountered a small setback in the process of delivering the gifts and failed to successfully send out the Christmas gifts.
So Fushimi Kyoji shook his head left and right.
"...This time, I'll definitely be ahead of everyone else and show my courtesy to the boss." Levi seemed to have been inspired by the players' behavior. His attitude improved a bit, and he even said tolerantly, "If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."
With Squalo helping players familiarize themselves with the base, and aside from his occasional impatience, he was a very competent senior—which indirectly meant that players had almost no chance to interact with other characters.
"I haven't encountered any unsolvable difficulties yet... Ah, if I must ask, I have a question that only Levi-senpai can answer."
"oh?"
Seeing that Levi showed no obvious impatience and seemed to be waiting for her next words, the player raised the question he cared about without hesitation.
"Besides the BOSS, what does Senior Levi like?" Fushimi Kyoji already had a rough idea of the fact that the family was full of twisted and fanatical fans of the leader.
Ask the other person about their preferences so that you can cater to them in the future.
“…”
Unexpectedly, upon hearing the player's question, Levi suddenly clenched his fist, placed it against his chest with a determined look, and said in a deep voice, "I won't allow anyone to get rid of the BOSS!"
Sure enough, if you stay with Squalo for a long time, you will have more or less problems with your hearing.
I have no idea to whom this person is expressing his loyalty while talking to himself.
…
You are only one person away from completing the event mission to get the limited edition costume.
The player found Valia's previous Mist Keeper - Mammon.
The other party is now also living in the Valia base and carrying out missions as normal.
The structure of a mafia family usually consists of a leader and six guardians of various attributes. Valia is a little special. They don't have a cloud guardian, but they have two powerful illusionists.
Becoming a trainee member of Valia, Squalo introduces the players to the guardians of Valia, and it just so happens that the current Mist Guardian Fran is also there.
The other person was wearing a bulky frog-shaped headgear, with symmetrical facial lines under his eyes, and a face that could not hide its childishness even with a blank expression.
Still a child.
He is obviously not of the same age as the other guardians of Valia.
When asked the reason, Squalo frowned subconsciously, but he didn't care about Zuo Yan and chose to be vague about it.
"At that time, Mammon was attacked by the enemy using an unprecedented attack method specifically designed for it." He summarized the whole process in concise language.
"After that, Fran replaced Mammon as the Guardian of the Mist in Valia."
I see.
"I believe that if Senior Mammon is still alive, he would be pleased."
Squalo paused, glanced at her, and said, "It's still alive."
"...Oh," the player replied softly, blinking innocently, "So you're still alive."
Anyway, the event strangely includes Mammon, who has nominally become the former Mist Guardian.
It just fills the vacancy left by XANXUS.
The mysterious illusionist has all his features hidden in his robes, so only the outline of his body can be seen, and his specific gender cannot be determined.
The lower half of his face, with its symmetrical inverted triangle tattoos, was one of the few areas of skin exposed to the air.
Mammon's lips are slightly turned down, which matches his clear and noble voice.
When receiving Christmas gifts from players, he was neither humble nor arrogant.
Mammon unpacked the package and took out the bell.
Because most of his face was covered, it was impossible to know Mammon's subconscious first reaction.
After observing it from many angles, it finally turns to the player and asks, "Is it pure gold?"
Eh...
For event-limited gift props, there is only an introduction to the item. Players can decide which character to give it to based on the above content to gain different levels of favorability.
As for the material...
Maybe gold plating?
"Thanks."
Mammon took the bell and used illusion to float in the air.
"Next time, just give me the money directly, and I'll be happier."
"*【Limited Time Event】(6/6) Completed!"
「*Rewards have been distributed!」
“…”
yes!
The limited edition set includes a plush hat with elk antlers, a camel-colored top, a skirt, and long boots.
Whether it's the soft hat or the plush on the boots, the feel is wonderful to the touch.
The fabric is soft short velvet, and there is a circle of long white hair on the hem and collar edges.
Fushimi Kyoji thought about it seriously.
...It looks a bit like Valia's uniform.
"Ha--" Someone let out a long breath and covered his open mouth with his hands.
It was a rare quiet environment, with only the fireplace constantly emitting heat and the occasional crackling sound of burning wood.
All the people in Valia are like wild beasts adapted to the harsh climate. They are full of energy in the cold winter, but as soon as the surroundings become warm and comfortable, they will unconsciously fall asleep and doze off.
"Who lit the fireplace? It's so hot..." Bell leaned on the sofa, his hand not gripping the knife handle tightly, his voice weak in such a quiet atmosphere.
"Captain Longhair has completely failed to consider the importance of sleep for growing children," Fran, whose head was appropriately decorated with a giant pumpkin head, rubbed his eyes. "Unlike my idiotic predecessors whose height is always fixed at 170cm, I still have a lot of room to grow."
Swish swish——
A few knives hit Fran's pumpkin mask with a "dong dong" sound, and a common pumpkin lantern face was cut out of it.
Fran himself screamed in a flat, dry voice.
Player: Wow, stunt work!
"The bastard boss has destroyed the base. You'll have to stay here until the base is repaired." Squalo pulled at his collar and instructed.
It felt like this wasn't the first time this had happened. After hearing the reason, the people who were woken up from their rooms in the middle of the night all reacted as if they were used to it.
There were plenty of seats around, but everyone chose to squeeze on the carpet right in front of the fireplace.
Fushimi Kyoji looked around and found a clearly empty space.
Then, he met a pair of fierce, upward-slanting round eyes.
——It is XANXUS’s box weapon, Sky Storm Lion Tiger: Besta.
Maybe I found the reason why there was no one sitting there even though there was an empty seat.
XANXUS was leaning on the sofa, dozing with his eyes closed, while Besta was lying leisurely beside his owner, his soft fur reflecting a soft satin light in the dim environment.
It seemed as if it had become docile in such a quiet atmosphere. Even when Fushimi Kyoji walked over, he just raised his eyes and glanced casually, and moved his nose as if he was sniffing the scent of the visitor.
A lion's head, which gave a completely different feeling from that of a kitten or puppy, came closer, and its hot breath sprayed on the player's legs. The hot air blew the fur on the edge of the skirt, as if it was tickled. Best snorted and turned his head away.
Fushimi Kyoji had a vague understanding.
Are you attracted by the fur on the hem of the skirt?
The player took action, removed the round tail pinned to the back of the skirt, held it not far from Besta, and shook it in front of it.
Best's half-closed round pupils followed the movement calmly.
It seemed to have inherited its owner's bad temper and had very little patience. It fiddled with the fur ball lazily a few times with its thick front paws, but the fur ball was pulled away by the player at the right time, so it failed to catch it. Its breath became low, and it opened its mouth with a ferocious face towards Fushimi Kyoji.
The cat teasing plan failed!
"You're so brave, trash." XANXUS opened his eyes at this moment and made Besta stop his actions and lie back beside him obediently.
The man with the scars on his face that would never fade away glanced down. This was the first time that Fushimi Kyoji saw XANXUS not being overwhelmed by anger.
The player felt that he seemed to be in a good mood.
"Merry Christmas, Boss."
It is only natural that the holiday greetings received no response. In fact, even Squalo would ignore such meaningless greetings.
At least he was not baptized by the flames of anger.
Great progress.
The player blinked and asked him, "Are there any Christmas presents?"
I wonder what gifts other chiefs will give to their subordinates at Christmas.
In short, it is no rarer than the gift given by XANXUS.
"Send you to hell."
He scoffed mockingly, "...rubbish."
-----------------------
The author has something to say: "*Event Mission 2: Freely decorate your base to make it full of festive atmosphere! (Christmas tree*1, red socks*3, Christmas circle*1, star decoration*1, ribbons*10...: not placed)"
…
[Red socks*1 has been placed! ]
"Will Santa Claus leave the presents in here?" Mammon was silent for a moment. "One sock isn't big enough. Should I ask Levi to borrow his socks? I wonder if the boss will approve it if I can paint the base red..."
There should be no need to hesitate.
[Red socks*1 has been placed! ]
"Hehehe..." Bell was very interested in this, "I hope to see my brother's head appear in it tomorrow morning."
In fact, you can ask Mammon to borrow a bigger sock, otherwise Santa Claus will be in a difficult position.
[Red socks*1 has been placed! ]
"Another Christmas present for me? I can't wear one sock." Lusilia said embarrassedly, "I heard that Bell was looking for this, and he seemed to want to use it to make his brother's hands and feet. It's just right for him."
…I sensed a strange sense of companionship from Varia in a strange place.
【Christmas circle*1 has been placed! 】
When going outdoors in temperatures below zero, it is inconvenient to perform delicate operations while wearing two-finger halter gloves.
With Levi's help, the Christmas circle was hung outside the base, along with a sign that read "I do not recognize the current tenth generation."
【Christmas tree*1 has been placed! 】
Place the Christmas tree in the center of the main hall where it can be seen at a glance, and players begin to hang decorations on it.
The other crutches and bells were hung up smoothly.
Only the star on top of the Christmas tree remains, bringing progress to a standstill.
Even if you stand on tiptoe on the chair, there is still a distance between you and the chair.
Fran, who noticed what the players were doing, volunteered to help.
"Tsk." Squalo, who had been watching with his arms crossed for a long time, turned around.
Doesn't anyone realize that given the height of these two people, it makes no difference who does the hanging?
The situation was exactly as Squalo had expected. Fran had a heavy headgear on his head and couldn't lift his hands. He even accidentally knocked over the entire Christmas tree.
Player who saw how the Christmas tree fell towards her: Wow...
Before being buried, the player tried to save himself by reaching out to the nearest Squalo, but after a long time of grabbing, he only managed to grab one end of the scarf.
The scarf around his neck suddenly tightened, and Squalo was caught off guard, staggering and almost falling backwards.
"Want to die, kid?"
