Chapter 212: 212 208 日常というのは昔を振り返ると、だいぶ変わっていると思う時がある

The food on the other side of the world is good, but the food here is also good, too, isn't it, senpai?

Yeah, I guess that's part of what I'm used to. When you want to eat, you want to eat.

This is neither the company cafeteria nor my room in the dormitory, but a ramen shop in Tokyo.

Kaido and I sat side by side at the counter, sipping noodles that wafted steam as if to warm our chilled bodies in winter.

I'm sure nobody knows what happened, but nobody knows about it.

"It's a police matter, but that's as far as it goes. If you deal with it externally, it won't leak out. Given the uniqueness of our company, I can understand why you're nervous about internal secrets. Then it's only natural that you should do this.

The disturbance caused by the heroic Carter just a few days ago is now under control and the level of alertness within the demon king's army is gradually decreasing.

I've heard from instructors and supervisors that they will be forced to clean up the mess for the rest of the year, since it's not over yet.

In the midst of such a day, the food from another world is good, but I also miss this kind of food from Japan.

Normal duties are gradually resumed for a few days.

It's my day off from my job as a tester.

Today, for the first time in a while, I had a day off with Kaido, and I had to go out to my old favorite ramen shop.

I was relieved to see the unchanging taste of the ramen soup, which made me nostalgic for the ingredients I had recently eaten, even though it hadn't been a year, and I turned my attention to the television set installed in the ramen shop.

On a summer day, the newscasters, who were screaming about the disappearance of a group of high school students, are now talking about the upcoming Christmas.

"Come to think of it, it's almost Christmas, isn't it?

It's a little late for that.

Until last year, it was none of our business. Especially at this time of year, we're in a tight spot, so maybe that's why. It feels strange to be slurping ramen so leisurely.

I don't know, that feeling, last year we didn't have a problem with an event like Christmas.

On the other side of the screen, a restaurant with a view of the night sky.

A restaurant with a night view.

Featuring date spots to spend with your lover.

And it was filled with a lot of peaceful content.

If I had time to think of the language of Christmas, I'd rather be efficient in crunching numbers.

At the same time, you were thinking about how you could legally hit your boss in the head.

"Oh, me too.

I remember last Christmas was so busy that it could almost be mischaracterized as Merry Suffering already.

I don't know how many bottles of energy drinks I've had.

The papers that never went away.

I don't know if it was the heating, but the air in the unventilated room was stagnant, and the color of the inhabitants in the room was so bad that it was almost like you were trying to figure out what they looked like.

To be honest, I wasn't expecting to spend the end of the year like this.

"Yeah, I thought you'd be busy at the end of the year with all the mess,

Now that we have said goodbye to such a company, we are able to laugh about the old days.

While thanking the current company for making it such a situation, I think about other departments that are still in turmoil.

The aftermath of what could be called a civil war is still lingering.

As a person who was involved in the turmoil, I feel it is very important to have a day like this when I can spend a peaceful day.

The noodles are growing!

"Oops.

Lost in thought, I take my eyes off the TV screen I've been watching for a while and eat the leftover ramen.

Since you are exercising, your appetite has increased from last year, and you find yourself finishing your bowl of ramen.

As you go out through the curtain with your respective slips in hand, you find yourself outside.

It's so cold, isn't it?

It's December. It rarely snows, but there's nothing we can do about the cold.

The winter chill of the ramen noodles cooled my warm body.

Kaido rubs his hands to try to warm up, and I pull the collar of my long coat together with mine.

Unlike the usual warmth in the company, it's cold in winter in Tokyo.

Without saying a word, we walk straight to the station.

How do you say, it has changed.

"Huh? Not much has changed.

No, the building hasn't changed, but what do you call it?　See, how do you see it, or is it sensitivity?　Here it is.

"Awareness gap?

That's it. When I think of what I learned at my current company, the view looks different.

"...... Maybe.

A nondescript Tokyo cityscape.

Lots of people, tall buildings, noisy and noisy.

In the past, we wouldn't have felt this is a familiar sight to us, but now it looks different.

The casual flow of people and this peaceful scene, free from conflict.

To begin with, I used to feel that peace equals boredom.

Now this view feels very precious.

Maybe that perception has certainly changed since I changed jobs this spring.

There are a lot of people and messy relationships but this is certainly a law-abiding, peace-keeping country.

It's a little late to be reminded of that.

It's not like that.

"Did you say something, senpai?

I didn't say anything.

You can't help but laugh at the words in your head, laughing at the sentimentality after all the work you've done, and move forward with your feet, which had almost stopped.

Speaking of which, Minami-chan said she was going to hold a Christmas party. I think it's a good idea, but what about you?

"Not a bad idea.　We were going to take Christmas Eve and the day off both.

Oh. Then you can do it!　Then let's do that!

"Don't forget the subject, the subject can't understand that.

You'll be able to find out what you've remembered by saying that you don't care about my sentimentality, and when I respond in kind, you'll happily say what you want to do.

It's Christmas, of course, is an exchange of presents!

You know what?

I thought I'd feel like a student, but then I realized that Suela and her friends didn't do much of this side of things.

Then it would be good to do that once in a while.

If there's a Christmas party, I think it would be good to have it.

Well, that's good. We don't have much of a date, so we should let them know ahead of time.

"Yeah, right!　I can't wait to see what they have in store for us on the other side!

We'll take care of our own business first. We're not even halfway through the plan.

"Whoosh!

We walked through the crowds of people while chatting with each other in this way towards our destination.

The streets of Tokyo are decorated with Christmas lights.

Underneath the illuminations, part-time and full-time employees are dressed as Santa Claus and waving signs for their respective businesses.

You're going to be able to get a good idea of what you're looking for.

Was it this way?

"It seemed like it was around here,

Kaido and I are here to buy a Christmas present for each woman.

Suela and the rest of the otherworldly group may not be familiar with it, but for us Japanese, it's a major event.

Unlike last year, when I was too busy with work to have time for my personal life, this year I came to look for a present for Suela and her friends, so that I can participate in all the events.

I'm not sure if I'll accept the gift or not, but I'm thinking that I'm doing you a favor and I'm coming with you to buy something like this.

Although it's not fair to say that you're looking for a gift for an individual at a Christmas party, you can still look for a present for that individual, but you can keep that in mind and search seriously.

It's here.

Wow, that's a lot of stuff.

"Because that's the kind of place I chose,

That's why I came to the general store complex.

Well, you are in a shopping mall with various stores.

Close to the station, there are many different stores and crowds of people.

You can find clothes, accessories, books and other common items.

Sorry Kaido, let me finish up first.

That's not a problem. In my case, I can find most of them in Akihabara.

I'd like to bring Suela and her friends to look for them, but there are many problems with bringing them to this world where they have no magic power.

Especially for Suela, who is very heavy, we can't take her out because we don't know what Japan's lack of magic will do to a child.

So the two of us have a lot of free time on our hands to explore the stores.

You do know what you're going to buy for Himiku, right?

Oh, I wish I had an apron to wear.

Let's start with the easy-to-determine Himik.

She's always helping me with things like cooking and cleaning.

As a token of my appreciation, I'm going to give her an apron.

Although not a specialty store, I heard that they have a wide variety of aprons, and the store lives up to its claims, with so many different designs and aprons in colors, shapes and embroidery.

Narrow down your choices and choose some of them.

Incidentally, although I asked Minami and Kitamiya to investigate the question of what they wanted, they had a lot of trouble finding out from the three of them, who rarely had the opportunity to receive gifts for different reasons.

So, from that little information, I managed to choose.

"We choose the simple ones, don't we? There are a lot of prettier ones out there.

"Himikku moves around a lot, so I figured the ones with a lot of decorations would be less likely to move.

I picked up a simple shaped apron in different colors.

It came in three colors: black, blue, and yellow. The black one had a family of cats embroidered in white, the blue one had dolphins, and the yellow one had chickens on it, and the animals were carefully drawn with one point.

I thought it was cute and the animals were carefully drawn in one spot.

The fabric is good and well made.

I asked the clerk to wrap it up and we headed to the next store.

Next, will you go to the wine store?

Yeah, Memoria said she'd like to have a drink from here.

Maybe I'm biased, but when I think of vampires, I think of wine and the easy way out.

But instead of giving wine as a gift to a memoria, this wine store is more of a private wine store, for the four of us to drink.

The real deal is the glass studio next to this wine store.

It's beautiful.

"Oh, which one will it be?

If you want to drink alcohol, you should stick to the glassware, and I chose this restaurant.

In my preliminary research, I saw glasses from Isual and continental countries, but I heard that glasses with thin and finely ornamented glass like this one are not so common.

I thought it would be better to give this glass as a gift from a design standpoint, and that is why I made this decision.

Wine glasses are the main item, but there are other items as well.

There are quite a few items on the shelves and in the showcases, from cheap to high end, but while looking for something nice, you find one item in a box.

This one.

This is a little off topic, but I think the image color of Memoria is blue.

Maybe it's because I had that image in mind.

There is a pair of glasses with a faint blue tint.

They're firmly inside a wooden box, and my gut tells me they're reasonably priced, but they're good, so I take them without hesitation.

"Here you go,

"Got a good one?

"Oh, let's go next time.

"Oops.

I'm sure you'll be able to find the right one for you.

It's a good thing that you're shopping for your senior, isn't it? It's just that they are gifts for different women, so it's a strange thing to think about in a common sense.

"You don't say that, you don't say that either. The same number of people.

Oh, no, I'm still different, you know?　This time it's just a thank you.

"You should have looked me in the eye and told me when you could handle that bad whistle.

I'm going to tease me about the contents of the official three-way gift I'm buying, but the words boomerang back at me.

If I had thought about what was to follow, I wouldn't have come up with that line.

You're going to have to poke at the back of Kaido's head while whistling poorly and looking away, as you aim for your desired store.

Himikku, Memoria and you are making good progress, but in fact, Suela is the one who is most worried about it.

Minami and Kitamiya have been unable to find out the information about the present for her.

Now, here's the feeling.

Check out what stores are in front of the commercial floor plan.

Wow, that's a lot of work. I've been told seriously that I've already gotten what I want.

Yes.

"Are you embarrassed?

"Yuck!

I push back the grin on Kaido's face as he tries to look at me, and I remember the bitter words from Kitamiya and Minami because of what Kaido said.

''Totally, why do I have to listen to your love story?

I agree with you for once, that I do. It's been a long time since I've wanted black coffee or bitter melon.

I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one who's been surveyed to find out what you want.

"I'm just happy to have a child.

I remember my face flushed when she told me that, and I fanned my heated face.

Oh, you're embarrassed, aren't you?

"Let's go, Kaido.

"Hey, wait a minute senpai!

I started to walk quickly so that I wouldn't be seen with a face like that.
