Little Gods of Gensokyo

Alice tries to find an excuse for her past self.

"That's true..." Ai Ge nodded as she accepted the reason: "Then have you ever seen her again?"

"Uh... I haven't seen what Santa Claus said..." Another form is common, Alice added in her heart.

"Hmph! It must be because you hit someone, and Santa Claus will never give you presents again!" Ai Ge said angrily.

Alice could only smile awkwardly at this, after all, her previous self had nothing to do with her present self.

"I made a decision!"

Lily looked at her sister who stood up and frowned. Every time the other party said something like this, nothing good would happen.

"Let Santa Claus come to our house this year!"

Sure enough... Alice and Lily have long been used to each other's temperament of doing whatever comes to mind.

"First of all, let me take a look..." Ai Ge flipped through the album in his hand: "It really is a Christmas tree, a Christmas tree is essential! Stay!"

"Yes, Master." The maid who was preparing fruit in the kitchen rushed over.

"Let's go to Liuqin!" Ai Ge jumped off the sofa, beckoned to the maid and walked outside.

"Wait! Where are you going!" Alice quickly stopped the girl.

"Christmas tree!" Love Song replied: "I remember there are spruce trees in the forest!"

"Yes, yes..." Alice looked out the window: "Are you sure you want to go out in this weather?"

Ai Ge looked at the snowflakes flying all over the sky outside the window: "Ah, let's talk about it after the snow stops."

Episode 497 Intermission 2. About Santa Claus

The fireplace in the room radiated fierce light and heat.

If Okazaki Yumemi was here, she would definitely call 'impossible' repeatedly. It has been an hour since she added firewood, but the small fireplace still hasn't been extinguished.

Even though it was clearly a small fireplace, the heat emitted almost made the whole room escape the invasion of cold winter.

"Why isn't it sunny yet?"

Aige propped her face up and looked out at the snowy sky from the gap in the curtains.

"Don't open the window." Alice silently warned the girl who tried to cross the line.

"Woo~" Ai Ge came to her mother with puffed cheeks: "Use magic! Use magic to stop the snow!"

"No~" Alice tilted her head and smiled, "You can try it yourself."

If this can arouse Aiga's enthusiasm for learning magic, she doesn't mind very much.

Aige was silent for a moment, let's forget about magic and so on. When I master my swordsmanship, I will surely cut through this dark cloud with a single sword. As for now...

The girl looked at her sister who was sitting beside her.

Sensing the sense of sight, Lili raised her head slightly, and her eyes of different colors moved slightly to meet her sister's gaze.

"No talk."

"Why?" After a few steps, she came to her sister: "Help me!"

"Whispering, who would waste magic power on such trivial matters!" Lily dodged her sister's grabbing hand in disgust.

"Who said that! Isn't that what the village does!"

This is not Aige's nonsense. Such a heavy snow is obviously not something a human village can bear. Fortunately, there are many missionaries in Gensokyo who have nothing to do, so they will not miss this good opportunity.

And there is also a humanoid snow melting machine with the highest power in the world.

Another example is a flower field suitable for tourism and vacation. The gentle and kind owner there certainly does not want this heavy snow to fall on his land.

Another example is a certain red mansion, where the wayward owner probably dispelled the dark cloud because of such trivial things as hating the cold.

Because the girls in Gensokyo are self-willed and capable, they often cause weird situations like "partial rain" in Gensokyo. The same weather every few hundred meters is not just a joke.

Of course, there are not a few families like Alice's family who are capable but inactive.

"Don't you like snow very much?" asked Alice, "and now you've changed your mind?"

"Of course! If it snows, I won't be able to go out to play!" Ai Ge replied.

"That's right." The puppet maker nodded, "Then I hope it can continue."

……

……

However, luck seems to be on Ai Ge's side. After a night of raging, the next morning not only the snow stopped, but the sun also brightened.

However, more than half of Alice's small bungalow was buried, and the family could only enter and exit from the second floor.

"I'm leaving!" Ai Ge, who was fully armed, took Liuqin and embarked on the road to cut trees: "Is Lily coming too?"

Aika floated by the window and asked her sister.

"No." Lily replied coldly, she didn't have a bracelet to take care of her like Aige, how could she go out in such cold weather.

"Alright then." Ai Ge waved her hands indifferently: "Wait for me to come back!"

……

……

The forest has turned into a sea of ​​white, and even people like Aiga who often play in the forest can't find their way home at this time.

Fortunately, Liuqin doesn't have the option of getting lost.

"This one seems pretty good." Ai Ge pointed to the small tree with only sharp corners on the snow.

Since it can be buried under the snow, it means that the main body will not be too big, and there will be no problem if it is placed at home.

The only problem was that it was buried in the snow and it was a hassle to dig it out, let alone chop it down and bring it back.

"Master, have you decided it is it?" It seemed that an anti-gravity system was installed, and Liuqin floated aside without making any noise.

"Hmm...although it's pretty good, but... let's take a look at the others." Aige decided to carry forward the good spirit of shopping around. Which sapling was so lucky to be cut down by himself?

The master and servant are like ghosts floating in the snow country.

When Aige was going to visit the No.13 bird's nest, the maid finally couldn't help reminding her.

"Master, if you don't hurry up, you will miss lunch."

"Ah!" Ai Ge realized later, and reluctantly glanced at the bird's nest that survived the disaster: "Then this one is fine, and there is no better one."

Ai Ge pointed to the top of the tree in the snow.

"But if I had known earlier, I would have brought a shovel." The girl frowned and said distressedly, and then she had to dig it out.

"Don't be so troublesome." The maid said: "You will miss lunch after a while. Lunch is very important. Yes, lunch is essential for your development."

"Please wait a moment." The green-haired maid said, looking at the sea of ​​snow under her feet.

She swooped down in one fell swoop, and under the powerful power, the soft snow had no way to stop her progress.

Like swimming, the maid dived under the sea of ​​snow, and then the whole snow ground churned like waves.

Immediately afterwards, there was a splash of water when the water came out. The petite maid was carrying the giant tree with both hands, and there were drops of snow in her hair.

"The task is complete." Liuqin said, "Then Master, what would you like to have for lunch?"

……

……

"Bells, candy bars, socks... um... what else?"

Aika asked her sister.

"That... it seems that a star needs to be placed on the top of the tree." Lily studied the book in her hand: "It seems that there is something about calling..."

"That's right! This must be a ceremony to summon Santa Claus!" Ai Ge said excitedly: "Don't forget to hang a sock beside the bed, he will put presents into the sock."

"Socks?" Lily frowned. "Do all ancient witchcraft in this world use such a strange medium?"

No, no, it's just a simple fairy tale. Alice looked at Lily who was unknowingly serious, and didn't know what to say for a while.

"It also said that he would sneak into people's homes through chimneys. Is this a symbol? In a religious sense?"

Hmm... After all, it's just a fairy tale, and Alice no longer knows how to solve Lily's misunderstanding.

Put the completed five-pointed star on the tree.

"It's done!" Ai Ge stood under the tree and cheered happily: "Go to bed early today."

"Wait for me!" Alice grabbed the girl by the back collar, and said angrily, "Even if you want to go to bed early, it's too early! It's only afternoon, let me clear the snow on the roof !"

……

……

The corners of the little red cotton coat were decorated with white wool, and Miss Alice picked up the Christmas hat beside her and put it on her head.

Well, as a mother, it is also my job to respond to the wishes of my daughters, isn't it?Miss Alice thought so.

but……

What a shame!The puppet maker looked at himself in the mirror, and knew that he would not make this dress, so he just put the gift down casually.

Patting her blushing face from embarrassment, Alice put a fake beard on her mouth.

"Okay!" Looking at 'Santa Claus' in the mirror: "Merry Christmas!"

Although I knew that my daughters were overworked because of the snow removal in the afternoon and went to bed early.

But Alice still couldn't help but tiptoed in an attempt to eliminate the slightest movement.

"stare--!"

"Woo!" A strong sense of sight came from behind, and Alice turned her head stiffly.

The green-haired maid stood behind the half-closed door and silently looked at her landlord with strong emotion.

Woo!What a shame!was seen!Alice's pretty face immediately turned red.

"Cough, cough..." With a slight cough to cover up her embarrassment, Alice raised her index finger on her lips as a gesture of silence.

Liuqin nodded, silently walked back to the room and closed the door.

Relieved, Miss Alice took care of her mood and continued her work as Santa Claus.

And Liuqin in the room silently glanced at the rope in his hand, it seemed that the Master's task could not be completed.

……

……

The girls in the room were fast asleep, and the two of them obviously didn't have the habit of being vigilant in their sleep.

Alice came to the daughters' bed easily.

Lily's bedside was also forced to hang up socks by Aige, although she was more interested in Santa Claus himself.

"Merry Christmas..." whispered, Alice put a pair of small red foreign shoes beside the girl's bed, hoping that she would go out of the house more often.

The next one was Love Song, Alice looked helplessly at the bedside of the other party, there were huge socks hanging there, and a list of dozens of wishes.

If it was the real Santa Claus, he might be angry and punish this greedy little girl.

But this year's Santa Claus is very tolerant, Alice thought, grateful.

Put a blank magic book next to the girl's pillow, don't let me force you to learn it all the time.

Alice straightened the hair on the girl's forehead angrily, and Alice planned to leave.

But before leaving, the puppet lady noticed another piece of paper beside the girl's bed.

Picking it up curiously, he raised his eyebrows, and the text at the beginning indicated that this was a letter to Santa Claus.

"Dear Santa Claus, if you can, please give your mother a Christmas gift. She may not be a good child, but she is a good mother, so please be sure to give her a Christmas gift."

This is really...

Alice scratched her head in embarrassment.
