Chapter 93: The Occasion of Namimori Town IF Extra: Walia Christmas Eve...
【Holiday Limited Edition · Christmas Eve】
On Christmas Eve, the game has also added a festive atmosphere, and Christmas elements can be seen everywhere on the streets.
The player looks up and catches the falling snowflakes with his hands.
The snow fell into the palm of my hand, bringing with it a cool temperature, and was quickly melted by my body temperature.
“Voi——!!!” An angry shout came from far away, and a body filled with coldness quickly approached the player.
Squalo stood in front of her with an angry look on his face and white mist coming out of his mouth, carrying a lot of bags in his hands.
His voice shook some of the snow off the Christmas trees decorated on the roadside.
"Didn't I tell you to wait at the main entrance? Why didn't you respond when I called you just now?" He looked effortless carrying the heavy ingredients and had plenty of energy to teach the players a lesson.
Why not call...
Since entering the Valia line, the player has not had much contact with Squalo, but the distinctive characteristics of his voice have already left a deep impression on him.
Fushimi Kyoji replied calmly, "My ears hurt."
Squalo glanced at her suspiciously and stuffed one of the bags into the player's arms. "Go back and let Lusilia treat you."
This matter seemed to be over for him.
Is the other person's personality easy to get along with?
A little bit……
The next second, Squalo reminded her in a voice that showed no sign of slowing down: "Get used to it soon, newbie! Otherwise, you'll be in trouble in the future!"
Hmm, my vision is blocked by the bag...
Fushimi Kyoki rubbed the paper bag in front of him with his face, and the aroma of bread came out from inside.
The player sniffed.
"Is bread the staple food again?"
Squalo didn't even look at her: "Ah, you want to eat pasta?"
Fushimi Kyoji shook his head, and the snow on the ends of his hair fell off.
"Cold bread is so hard and tiring to eat."
He frowned unconsciously and glanced at the newcomers he was leading: "Your taste is very similar to those trash in the Vongola."
"So, can we have sushi tonight?"
“…”
Squalo turned around, took off his gloves, took a piece of bread from the paper bag the player was holding, and stuffed it into her mouth without gentleness.
"Think of this as dried bonito."
Players chew.
Not like that.
Because it is still hot, the taste is sweet and soft, just right for eating.
It has nothing to do with dried bonito.
"Steak... got it, red wine... tsk, it's frozen." Squalo counted the things he wanted to buy one by one, and occasionally cursed in annoyance. It sounded like an ordinary shopping trip.
"Senior Squalo."
He had a loud voice, but his ears were surprisingly sharp, and he quickly glanced at her.
Fushimi Kyoki pointed at the red and green ornaments everywhere on the street, full of festive atmosphere, and said, "Don't you need to buy some decorations to decorate the base?"
"Could it be... that Valia has a tradition of not participating in Christmas?" The player became uncertain. "If that's the case, the gifts I bought for everyone won't be used."
Under Squalo's gaze, Fushimi Kyoki took out a red and green scarf full of Christmas atmosphere from the gift box piled at his feet.
Squalo didn't reach out to take it. He frowned, "It's inconvenient to move around with it on, and it will definitely get in the way if it's spread out."
"……oh."
But I have long hair that needs to be taken care of, which is more inconvenient than a scarf.
I am also careful to avoid getting blood on my hair.
It won’t work if you change it to a scarf.
“Will anyone else like the gift?”
Not receiving positive feedback from Squalo, the player set his sights on the remaining members of Valia.
Squalo looked at her strangely for a moment.
"Newbie, the first lesson I'm going to teach you is... don't expect the relationships you imagine in Varia."
He turned around, and when his emotions stabilized, his sense of reality as a combat captain gradually overshadowed his irritable impression.
"Don't be afraid of being ridiculed. It's up to you to choose the Christmas gift or something." Squalo said indifferently.
"In Valia, there's only one thing you need to do."
"—survive."
"Whether it's from fighting the enemy or from friction with other people in Valia."
If the relationship between us is this bad... let's not be teammates.
Fushimi Kyoji thought silently.
The season in the game is winter with snow, and the player's body sensation is maintained at a level where they can feel the refreshing coolness without actually experiencing the severe cold of winter.
The snow scene is beautiful, and the buildings along the road are all decorated with Christmas atmosphere, which is also very fresh. However, you can't fast forward the journey, and it will feel monotonous after looking at it for a long time.
The temperature of the food in my arms gradually cooled down and no longer emitted a faint heat.
Including what Squalo was carrying, it was probably enough food for all the people in Varia for three days.
Fushimi Kyoki chose to talk to Squalo.
"Is there no logistics staff specifically responsible for purchasing?"
As if anticipating the player's question, he answered quickly.
"Valia does not need the presence of non-combatants."
"So the captain of the operation has to personally purchase the necessary supplies," the player whispered.
Squalo, who had walked some distance ahead, turned back and urged impatiently, "Newcomer, what are you still dawdling about?"
The player said without blinking, "My hands are cold."
"Tsk, trouble."
…
Fushimi Kyoji did prepare gifts for the other members of Varia.
Player: “…”
After placing the supplies, Squalo found her in front of XANXUS's closed door.
"Why don't you go in?"
Fushimi Kyoki said truthfully: "The boss is sleeping."
"Tsk, I'll wake him up."
Knowing XANXUS's bad temper, Squalo couldn't stand it anymore and pushed the door open, motioning the player to follow him.
Squalo strode into the room.
ah!
I didn’t take the gift box.
Fushimi Kyoji was a step slower.
Just as he was about to follow Squalo silently, the open door in his sight suddenly spewed out a terrifying flame that shot up into the sky.
Boom——!!!
The explosive power caused a shock that lasted for a long time. Strangely, as an elite assassination force, there was no one on guard in the base, as if they were used to the occasional explosions.
The player held his breath and listened attentively to the movements in the room, but no sound came out.
After waiting for a few seconds and seeing no more accidental firing, he cautiously peered into the room.
Fushimi Kyoji took a quick glance.
Almost all the valuable furniture was carbonized, and the walls were black and gray.
It is very close to the scene imagined by players, referring to a mess.
Um……
Squalo said he was going to wake up XANXUS, but he fell asleep on the ground first.
It seems that the position of combat captain is really tiring.
As the player observed the situation, a fierce and ferocious gaze that had not yet subsided turned towards her and paused.
Without the need for [Perception] prompts, Fushimi Kyoji also sensed the spreading aura of danger.
Fushimi Kyoji looked up and down, but not in the direction of XANXUS. She tapped her palm lightly with her fist and said, "I'm going to cut some bread for the boss."
He died before he could accomplish his mission.
Sending a gift to XANXUS failed!
The next target is Lusilia, the Guardian of Sunlight of Valia!
"It's our cute newcomer~" The young man with a cockscomb haircut and red-framed sunglasses clasped his hands at the sides of his face and greeted the players in a strange and evocative voice.
"Hmm?" He let out a puzzled sound and blinked his eyes behind the lenses.
"Christmas gift? It's really strange..."
Lusilia picked up the brand new boxing gloves from the gift box and chuckled happily, "Hehehe... is this just to please him?"
"What a pity." Lusilia shook her head with feigned regret. "These boxing gloves used in competitions are rarely used in actual combat."
I learned the basic situation of the Valia Guardians from Squalo, but it seems that I chose the wrong gift.
"I hope Fushimi-chan doesn't mind if I give the gift to someone else. There's a guy in Vongola who really loves boxing." Lusilia raised her little finger to cover her lips. "Hmm... Christmas? It's a very unexpected surprise for me."
"ah……"
Probably some polite remark.
Fushimi Kyoji pointed behind him and said, "Captain Squalo has fallen asleep on the floor of the boss's room. Please ask Senior Lusilia to wake the captain up."
"It was Squalo who was in charge of familiarizing you with the base? You're lucky."
Someone pinched his face lightly, but the other person didn't mention treating Squalo.
...Let's find the next target.
When they found Belphegor the Storm Guardian, Fran the Mist Guardian was there too.
Using throwing knives as weapons, the gift the player gave to Bell was a table knife printed with Christmas elements.
The young man chuckled nervously as he placed his fingertips against the blade, applying slight pressure, leaving a dent on it. "Hehehe...it's not sharpened yet."
Fortunately, there was no blade, otherwise there would have been bloodshed.
Fushimi Kyoji repeated the gift introduction verbatim: "It is said that in other countries, the word 'apple' is used in Chinese to represent peace, so Fran's gift is an apple..."
"I like this gift very much." Wushou, who has a strange habit of speaking and wears a frog headgear, patted the huge apple on the ground expressionlessly. "It feels very familiar and kind."
He hollowed out the inside of the apple, took off the frog mask on his head, and finally put the huge apple on his head.
Fushimi Kyoji silently swallowed the words "shaped ornaments" that he was about to say.
"Peace? Apple..." Bell chewed the two words over and over again, then suddenly a creepy grin spread across his lips as he enthusiastically suggested, "Then... let's cut the peace apple."
The dinner knife with cute patterns on it was grabbed and thrown out. After a sound of breaking through the air, the knife hit Fran's apple head.
"Ah, the seniors are bullying the weak and pitiful juniors again." Fran screamed in a flat voice with no inflection. "It hurts to have a knife stuck in your head. I feel like juice is about to flow out."
"Hehehe... I might as well cut you into applesauce!"
Fushimi Kyoji silently prayed: Unity and friendship Valya...
Before the player had time to bring the gifts to Lei Shou and Qian Wu Shou, he was dragged by the basically recovered Squalo to go on a mission together.
So impressive…
It felt like we had become familiar faces, and we were able to move freely in such a short time.
And this time, it seems that they will continue to play the main role.
The mission center needs to use communication equipment to communicate at any time. Squalo took out the phone from the player's hand, and as he looked through the contacts, his brows gradually frowned.
"What strange notes are these, tsk."
I found myself marked as 'Mount Fuji in active period', so I called the contact with the note 'Mount Fuji 1707'. As a result, I heard the bastard boss's shouting after the call was connected, and the call was automatically hung up the next second.
XANXUS probably has another broken phone.
"snort."
Based on the impression given by the other party, the player thought that Squalo would pull her ears and scold her after figuring out the meaning of the note.
He simply snorted, a sound that was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry, and threw the phone back into the player's hand: "If you don't want to die, don't let that bastard boss see you."
“…Oh.” Fushimi Kyoki responded blankly.
The player was still immersed in the suspicion that he had sent the wrong gift, and his reaction was a little slow in Squalo's eyes.
Unable to tolerate the newcomer's absent-mindedness, Squalo brought up the player and asked her for clarification.
"No one seems to be looking forward to Christmas Eve, and the gifts I received weren't as exciting as I thought they would be."
Squalo let out a short 'ha' sound. "Isn't this quite normal, whether it's cultivation or interpersonal relationships?"
The way he lowered his eyes and looked at her made the sharpness of his three-white eyes weaken a little for no reason, and even gave people a sense of security as an elder.
"This kind of thing is unfair. It's impossible for you to get as much as you put in."
Fushimi Kyoji opened his eyes slightly, but saw that Squalo's eyes suddenly became stern, and his aura suddenly became sharp. He swung his knife with his backhand, and a cold light flashed.
bass--
The collision of metal in the air produced a spark.
The double-edged sword instantly cut the bullets fired at them from the dark into two halves, and the sword energy formed by the swing continued for dozens of meters, cutting off a neat piece of grass in the distance.
“Vio——!!!”
Squalo roared, and the previous calm was instantly broken. He turned his head angrily and locked his eyes on the hiding place of the guy who attacked them in the distance.
"Asshole! Can't you see we're teaching newbies here?"
Seeing that the sneak attack had failed, the enemies no longer hid and emerged from the shadows one after another.
The number of enemies that appeared silently continued to increase. Faced with the increasingly stressful situation, Squalo casually swung his scarf and let it hang around his neck. A ferocious and exaggerated grin appeared on his face, and he jumped down from a height of dozens of meters.
His long silver hair with a satin sheen fluttered in the air, leaving a trail of afterimages. His clothes fluttered in the wind, making a rustling sound. He was not afraid at all, and with a fierce aura, he quickly closed the distance between himself and the enemy.
Like a shark entering a school of sardines, he arrived at his hunting ground.
"—come and say 'Merry Christmas Eve,' you scum!"
