With that said, the ones who popped into Lasse's room were Lamia dressed as a witch, a dryad dressed as a devil, and a harpy in a pumpkin costume.
...... Ah, Halloween.
Harroween, an event where children (including non-children) dress up as a specific type of monster and receive candy, though few people remember its origin properly anymore.
It is said to have been a kind of ritual to ward off evil, but few care about it.
Since demons are everywhere, and undead are common in graveyards and old battlefields, people have chosen attack magic and eviction techniques over the old-fashioned witchcraft rituals.
As a result, the only thing that remained was an event to receive sweets.
Hold on. Let's see... ...... There's nothing there.
Naturally, Lasse, who had forgotten about Harroween, did not have a stock of sweets at the ready.
Then it's a prank!
The Lamia's gleefully start playing tricks on Lasse.
Some rub their cheeks, some kiss their cheeks, some get on their knees and demand to be stroked on the head.
(Is this a prank? (I mean, isn't it wrong for the exorcised entity to dress up as a demon to be exorcised?
And so on and so forth, but since the demands of the cute demons, it was Lise who was honestly being pranked.
.
I'll restock the snacks, just in case.
It's a good thing that it's Lamia and her friends, but if it's another monster, you don't know what kind of horrible prank they'll play on you.
So Lasse decided to go to the town to buy some sweets to avoid the prank.
Candy, please!
"Oh my goodness, Mr. Lasse is a Halloween too?
An old woman sitting at the counter holds out a candy bar to Lasse.
"No, no, I'm not here to receive, I'm here to give.
"Oh, well, I'm sorry about that. I'll give you a free candy bar to help you out.
Hi.
Although he was mistaken for a child who had inadvertently come to snatch sweets from him, Lasse succeeded in replenishing the snacks.
.
"...... Trick or Treat
On the way back from restocking the snacks, I heard a voice whisper to Lasse.
