Chapter 23 – Christmas

So today is Christmas eve…”

“Master, what’s wrong?”

“Eh? Ah, today is a celebration called Christmas eve in my hometown. It’s kind of a big event where I’m from.”

Yes, it’s a happy event when you’re a kid, but when you’re an adult, it’s a sad event where the riajus shines… Why do lovers flirt with each other to celebrate the birthday of a great man? It’s wrong, Japan.

“Is that so? Then shall we celebrate here too?”

“That sounds good. Master, let’s celebrate.”

“Hmm… I guess we can celebrate too. Let’s prepare lots of good food and have a good time.”

“Food?”

“Fufu, Rimu, we’re going to watch a movie tonight, eat lots of food, and have lots of snacks. Looking forward to it.”

“Lots and lots of fun.”

I know, when I was in Japan, it was a sad Christmas party with my male friends. Now I have Ines, Felicia, and Rimu. It would be a loss not to celebrate. We’ll eat good food and have all the lovey-dovey fun we can handle.

Yes, let’s take a table to the mini-theater, lay out a feast, and enjoy watching a movie. It’s fun to act differently than usual, isn’t it?

“”Yes.”

“Okay, let’s get the treats ready. And buy lots of drinks, food, and snacks from the vending machines and stand corners. Let’s bring it all to the mini-theater and make some merry while watching a movie.”

“Ufufu, that sounds fun.”

“I’m looking forward to it.”

Ines and Felicia will be in charge of the preparations at the mini-theater.

“Ines, Felicia, I’ll summon the storage boat in front of the vending machine and the stand corners. Come and let me know when you’ve finished loading the purchases.”

“”Yes.””

Let’s get ready for a feast. The Fortress has an oven, and although we don’t have a turkey, I’ll make a whole roasted bird and a whole roasted rabbit.

“Master, I bought a lot of food. Please repatriate them.”

“Yes, it will be fun.”

A few moments after Ines returned, Felicia also returned.

“Master, please repatriate them.”

“Yeah. I’m still cooking, so please help me.”

“”Yes.””

I made salad, soup, french fries, mixed fries, and any other dishes I could think of and repatriated them.

Oh, I don’t have any gifts… money is too tasteless, and there are no gifts at the store on the Fortress.

Hmm. I have a ship that would make people happy, but as I said, there’s no way I’m buying a ship as a Christmas present for them. Is there any millionaire in Japan who would do such a thing?

Unfortunately, no gift this time. I’ll give them an allowance as a special bonus.

“Whew, I think that’s enough.”

“That’s a lot of food. Do you think we can eat it all?”

“You’re right. But it makes me happy to have a lot of food on the table. If there is too much left over, Master can repatriate it, and we can eat it later.”

“I’ll eat a lot.”

“That’s right, as long as I repatriate the food, it won’t be a problem. Let’s eat as much as we can and drink as much as we can.”

“”Yes.””

“Now, most of the preparations are over, but we’re all sweating. Let’s all take a bath before the party.”

“”Yes.””

“Phew, it’s nice to have a big bath after all.”

“Fufu, Master, you say that every time.”

“Right.”

“Is that so? Well, maybe so. I think so every time.”

Having a lovey-dovey time with a big-breasted beauty in a spacious bath. With a Jacuzzi and champagne, it’s like something out of a Hollywood movie. I wonder if I need a cigar too? Let’s do it on the Hideaway, though I don’t have a cigar.

I get my head and body washed and soak in the warm water with Rimu in my arms, sandwiched between the two of the girls. I’m so happy.

After soaking slowly, I drink a beer after the bath.

“Phew, now all that’s left to do is to put the food on the table and have a party. Looking forward to it.”

We set the dishes on the table in the mini-theater room one after another. There is a gorgeous array of food, drinks, and sweets that we surely can’t possibly finish. I couldn’t prepare the Christmas cake, though. Other than that, I think it’s a perfect score.

“Ufufu, it’s fun just to look at them. Thank you, Master.”

“Fufu, yes. It makes me very happy. Thank you, Master.”

“Rimu loves Wataru, too.”

“It is embarrassing. Well, it’s a party now. Let’s have a lot of fun.”

Oh no, I was about to cry.

“”Yes.””

What movie shall we watch? Hmm? Best ten movies to watch for Christmas… Ship summoning is really terrific… Isn’t it connected to Japan via the internet? I want to surf the net too.

Hmm, if I were to watch, I’d probably watch this and this. But Miracle on 3x Street is a very good movie, but it needs to be explained properly, like the trial, the miracle, Santa, and the takeover. I don’t think Ines, Felicia, and Rimu will be able to understand how good the movie is.

Then maybe this one? It’s a comedy, so it’s impossible to get a mature vibe or anything, but it’s fun to watch, and even if you’re not very familiar with the movie, you’ll enjoy it. Okay, let’s go with a double feature: Home Al*ne and Sister A*t.

“Now that we’ve decided on a movie, let’s take our seats. Let’s have a toast to Merry Christmas, please.”

“”Yes.””

“Then, Merry Christmas.”

“””Merry Christmas.”””

We cut up a whole roasted fowl and a whole roasted rabbit, and while enjoying the feast as we pleased, the movie was screened. I eat and drink while explaining the parts of the movie that they don’t understand.

They laugh at the stair sled, look in amazement at the supermarket, are distracted by the colorful ice cream that appeared in the film, and are impressed by the real pizza. In the main part, where he fights off the two thieves, they are amazed at the quick thinking of Ke*in, and they are delighted and admire the way the thieves are beaten up.

Good thing they’re hooked, but I’ve seen it a few times before, and it’s still funny.

When Ke*in is cornered and captured by the thief, they seriously worry about him.

After all, it’s more exciting, thrilling, and enjoyable when you don’t know about happy endings and such.

The old man with the shovel saves him, and they are surprised that he isn’t a bad guy? Then, they were surprised and happy to see Ke*in reunited with his mother.

“It was very interesting.”

“Yes, that’s right. I laughed a lot.”

“Rimu loves interesting things.”

“I’m glad you enjoyed it. After a short break, we’ll go to the next movie.”

“Well, are we going to watch another one? Usually, that’s all it takes.”

“Really? I’m looking forward to it.”

“Rimu so happy.”

“Yes, we have more drinks and treats to enjoy. And since we’re being more extravagant than usual, we’ll have to splurge on another movie.”

“That’s nice.”

“Thank you. Master.”

“Rimu, loves, Wataru.”

Rimu’s words made me blush, and after a quick trip to the bathroom and a few drinks, we plunged into the second movie.

They are amazed at DeL*ris’s eccentric costume and watch the murder scene in a normal way.

I explain about the sisters, but the movie’s still not that biting. But here’s the thing. It’s my favorite movie, and I hope they enjoy it if they can.

I snicker at the first choir song. Get emotionally involved with the choir as they get better and better. Rejoice at the chanting at mass. Resentment at the gang. Rejoice at the rescue in the nick of time. And he is thrilled by the success of the concert in front of the Pope.

“I love this movie. It was a wonderful song.”

“I was moved too. I want to see it again.”

“I’m glad you liked it because it’s my favorite movie too. Both Home Al*ne and Sister A*t have the sequel. Let’s watch them tomorrow.

“So there’s a sequel? That’s great… But are we still going to have a party tomorrow?”

“Yes. Today is Christmas Eve, and tomorrow is Christmas. That’s the real event.”

“We can enjoy two days in a row, can’t we? I’m looking forward to it.”

“Yeah, we’re going to have a lot of fun.”

“”Yes.””

I repatriated the rest of the feast. We went back to the room and had more lovey-dovey time than usual.
