Christmas was originally the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, and Ive heard that the origins of the date itself trace back to ancient Roman Sol festival but thats a story that belongs strictly to the world we once came from.In this other world, Trinia, Christmas feels more like a festival handed down from the past Hero Actors, a kind of exotic celebration from the Otherworld. It isnt recognized as having any particularly deep origins or intent, and is understood simply as a festive event, much like a holiday.
Well, even in the Japan of the world I came from, Christmas was mostly treated as a once-a-year event without much concern for its original meaning, so in that sense, maybe there isnt much difference after all.
If there is one clear difference, its that Christmas in Trinia involves decorations going up all over the cities, and in the capitals of each nation, stalls line the streets, creating a lively scene Rather than spending it quietly at home with family, the atmosphere is closer to a winter festival.
[Its really lively, isnt it?]
[Unn decorations go up in lots of cities, but the capital has stalls and events, so its especially lively.]
Walking down a street crowded with people, but not so packed that you cant move, I held hands with Isis-san. In the past, because of the influence of her magic power of death, participating in events like this would have been completely impossible for her. But now, thanks to an item she received from Canalis-san, as long as she maintains a barrier that prevents anyone below a certain level of power from coming within a 50 cm radius, she can walk through the city without any problems.
With Isis-sans level of magic power control, excluding just me from the barrier is effortless, and as for the issue of her being a well-known figure as one of the Six Kings, using Recognition Inhibition Magic takes care of that as well.
She isnt exactly as skillful as Alice, so if she directly speaks with someone fairly strong, theres apparently a chance they might notice something off. Still, unless theyre of noble rank or higher, it seems extremely unlikely shed be discovered, so we can relax and enjoy our date.
The only remaining concern is that if I call Isis-san by name, others might notice, but thats handled by a portable magic tool, modified so that voices dont carry to the surroundings.
[But still, Im really happy we can come enjoy the Christmas streets together like this with you, Isis-san.]
[Im really happy too of course, Im glad people arent afraid of me when I come into town but being together with Kaito being able to see so many things even more than before thats what makes me the happiest.]
As she said that, Isis-san smiled with pure happiness. She was so adorably angelic that just seeing that smile made me feel inviting her out on this date today had been completely worth it.
[Oh, theres a Christmas tree in the plaza.]
[Its beautifully decorated come to think of it Eul and the others were making a Christmas tree at the castle too.]
[Theyre getting ready for the party, right? Im looking forward to tonight.]
[Unn together with Kaito and everyone else Im really looking forward to it.]
That night, we were scheduled to have a Christmas party at Isis-sans castle with the Six Stars, and it sounded like Eul and the others were enthusiastically preparing for it. I couldnt help but feel excited already.
[Well, we can buy presents later for now, lets just enjoy the date.]
[Unn together with Kaito I want to go to lots of places.]
[Lets go around as much as time allows. Why dont we start with that park over there? It looks like theyre holding some kind of event]
When Isis-san and I stepped into the park, filled with a festive buzz, the first thing that caught my eye was a large stage, and atop it, people who looked like members of a musical ensemble lined up.
[It looks like theyre singing in a chorus.]
[A traditional winter song the stage is big too maybe theyre holding something like a choral competition.]
[That makes sense. There are a lot of groups gathered off to the side of the stage, so it really does feel like a competition.]
The Christmas here had nothing to do with Christianity, so it wasnt a church choir or anything like that, but the group currently up on stage happened to have outfits and a song that gave off exactly that kind of atmosphere.
As I stood a little distance away from the bustling stage, holding hands with Isis-san and watching, I noticed the bright, genuinely delighted smile on her face.
[Isis-san, you look like youre having fun.]
[Unn being able to see so many people enjoying themselves like this makes me happy The old me wouldve just frightened them]
Back then, whenever Isis-san visited a city, it would practically trigger a state of high alert. Naturally, she would never have had the chance to watch events like this up close.
In a way, that couldnt be helped. If things hadnt been handled that way, the Humans would have been terrified, fleeing in panic, and Isis-san would have been hurt even more deeply.
But thats exactly why, now that those worries have been eased to some extent, I want Isis-san to enjoy all the things she was never able to enjoy before.
[Of course, Isis-san has suffered for so long, so I wouldnt say its a good thing but still being able to see the scenery you always wanted to see for the first time, together with you like this does make me a little happy.]
[Kaito Unn! Thats right seeing the scenery I was never able to see before together with the person I love most in the world, Kaito makes me incredibly happy fufu Im really looking forward to what comes next.]
[We still have plenty of time today to walk around and see things, so lets look at lots of different scenery together.]
[Unn Kaito I looove you.]
Hearing my words, Isis-san smiled blissfully and wrapped her arms tightly around mine, whispering her love in a sweet voice. The fact that Isis-san was so happy from the bottom of her heart made me incredibly happy too my heart felt warmly filled to the brim.
