"My name is Cecilia Laborte."

The girl bowed deeply to the two, as if expressing her gratitude for the gift.

"Thank you for the candy."

Cecilia didn't look at Violet, but looked straight at Adele. Although she was very small, she had already seen that Violet was actually a subsidiary relationship in front of Adele.

It's like an accessory.

Adele waved and motioned for the child to come over. Cecilia stepped forward timidly, then backed up a few steps. After repeated probing, she stood in front of Adele tremblingly. Violet's fierce reaction just now made her She was a little scared, but Etil attracted her very much, especially, as if a person who had experienced the cold saw a warm fireplace.

Although he knows people, faces, but not heart, Etil's appearance makes people unable to think of any evil things at all. He only makes people feel that he wants to rely on, get close to, and even possess.

"Violet, she is very similar to you at the beginning."

Adele stroked the girl's head and said to Violet.

"In the beginning, you were also cowardly."

Gently help the girl to tidy up the messy hair with fleas and dirt on it.Adele said to Cecilia.

"What else do you want to eat?"

"I can give it to you."

Cecilia looked at Adier and said without hesitation.

"I want to eat oranges."

Upon hearing the orange, Adele asked curiously.

"Why oranges?"

Originally, he wanted to share the chocolate in his pocket with her, but Cecilia's answer caught Adele unexpectedly.Compared to Adele who never refuses anyone, Violet wants to know why she came here and why she came to find her chief Adele.

"because......."

Cecilia said.

"Because oranges can be shared...a good friend, one piece per person."

Adele slightly, suddenly took out a new white feather from nowhere, and said to Cecilia.

"Sister will do a magic trick for you."

Putting the feather in the palm of his hand, Etil gently blew on his hands. The hand that was holding the feather swelled up slightly. When he opened his hands, a fresh and sweet orange appeared inside with crystal clear The dew, and even the leaves on it, are emerald green.

In this gloomy winter, the orange in Etil's hand is like a big orange gemstone, exuding an attractive luster.

"Take it and share it, kid..."

Cecilia took the orange, looked up at Violet,

"Sister, the first time you met, you must have...be the same as me now. Because you just said that I am very similar to her."

Cecilia lowered her head, carefully put the orange in her pocket, and said to Adele.

"To be honest, I really envy her... If it was me you met in the first place, would it be me who is standing by your side now?"

The gray-haired girl turned around, turned back before taking two steps, and after deliberating for a long time, Cecilia said to Etil.

"My.....the closest person I used to be..."

"They... all died in the war...."

"And those who love me call me Jasmine."

The girl said excitedly to Etil.

"If...if it's okay...can you call me Jasmine?"

"In this world, only you know this name!"

Hearing the girl's crying voice, Adele slowly got up and nodded solemnly to her.

"Jasmine."

"I will definitely, remember this name."

gift on christmas eve

Walking on the way home, Violet walked on the side of the road, protecting Adele inside.

"Sir..."

Seeing that Adele was only looking at the gifts and cakes displayed in the shop windows, Violet pulled the corner of Adele's clothes and said in a low voice.

"Want to hold hands..."

Adele recalled Violet's cowardly look before, and the way she could feel at ease only by holding hands.So she raised her hand, and as her fingers interlocked, Violet's expression gradually became more natural.

"Satisfied?"

"Eh......"

Adele looked at Violet's blond hair, which was tightly tied together. The red ribbons tied on the two braids danced with the wind under the blowing of the cold wind, adding a touch of brightness to the already deserted winter. red.

"Your hair is beautiful."

Violet tilted her head and looked at her officer. The taste of this kind of words in her mouth seemed to change, and it became a bit ironic, because Adele's long hair was basically walking on the road. Every passerby can't help but look back at the waterfall-like hair, and sigh whether it is real hair or not.

It is also because of Etil's hair that the angel doll has such a high price.

"My hair...how can it catch up with the officer?"

"Don't make fun of me..."

The two were walking on the snow-falling street. The dark clouds in the sky seemed to be unable to hold up the full load of snowflakes anymore. The goose-feathered snow seemed to be pouring over, and in an instant the world was covered in silver.

"Look, Violet."

Etil pointed to the houses on the road, the streets, and the mountains in the distance.

"Even they are covered with silver clothes."

The feet of the two stepped on the snow, making rhythmic creaking sounds. Etil stretched out his hand, held his hair up, and let the snowflakes fall on his long hair.

"Hey, Violet, snowflakes won't melt immediately when they fall on your hair."

"At this time, you can see the shape of snowflakes."

Adele picked up the snow-covered hair and handed it to Violet.

"It is said that the shape of each snowflake is different, just like the people and things you meet in the process of ghostwriting, every journey, every letter you write, are all different."

Violet looked at Adele's long hair, smiled and nodded.

"Sir, I see the shape of a snowflake."

The two returned to the post office, and everyone was busy all afternoon together, decorating with lights, making delicious food, lighting a bonfire, and pouring fine wine.

Good time, good Christmas Eve, just in the first year after the end of the war, everyone reunited, around the campfire and delicious turkey, toast together!

"cheers!!!!!!!"

Cattleya loves mellow wine, while the men who came off the battlefield prefer rum.Alice didn't make jokes about Adele like before, such as feeding or something, because she knew that the other party already had someone to belong to, and keeping a distance was the greatest respect for the two.

Erica and Luculia prefer sweets, and the baked pears with ginger candy and lavender panna cotta made by Violet became the best supporting roles besides the turkey.Shikali didn't hold the airs of a royal doll either, and happily held a cold beer. During the rare happy time, everyone showed the most genuine smiles.

Violet sipped the hot wine and elegantly sliced ​​the turkey. Adele didn't gobble up the turkey like in the past. Recently, she has also restrained herself a bit, because she doesn't lack energy, so there is no need to eat so much.

"Hey, Eddie, what's the matter with the flowers on your head."

"It's so lush, I almost can't let it go!"

Everyone laughed and pointed to the flowers on Aidier's head happily, because they all knew what those flowers meant. After experiencing the painful experience in the past, the current appearance is really fortunate and gratifying.

"Ah, ah, ah... I didn't expect that I would have to prune flowers one day."

Recently, the energy is almost overflowing every day. Etil even feels that it affects his appetite, making him feel full all the time, and he can't even eat.

"This kind of power... is it really that powerful..."

Adele looked at the fireplace next to him, and tentatively put his left hand on the flame.The flames quickly engulfed Aidier's hand, swaying and whistling, but Aidier didn't feel any pain at all.

"real or fake......"

Etil picked up a sharp fruit knife again, and squeezed the blade with his left hand!

There wasn't a single cut in the hand, and there wasn't any blood. On the other hand, the sharp blade had already been crushed by Aidier at this moment, and there were still four fingerprints left on it.

"Wow......"

Adele raised her head, and suddenly saw Violet staring straight at herself, as if staring straight ahead, her eyes were frozen.The wine glass in his hand fell to the ground with a thud.

At this moment, Etil's heart seemed to be fried!

"How long has she been looking at me!!!!!!"

"Um......."

Eddie waved his hand embarrassingly.

"Well, since when did you start looking at me?"

"From the moment you put your hand in the fireplace, sir."

"what......."

Adele shrank her hands behind her back blushing, quietly moved to Violet's side, and whispered.

"I said I was actually doing magic tricks, would you believe me?"

"This... I'll try to convince myself, sir."

The happy time lasted until late at night, and the next day was the exchange. When opening the presents, Alice, who was drunk at this time, said.

"Hey, do you believe in Santa Claus?"

"I think I'll have to go to bed right away before I miss Santa's present!"

After drinking and eating, everyone left the table quickly, and Adele also signaled Violet to go upstairs to sleep, and she had to clean up the dishes.

Adele stood downstairs for more than an hour. In the dead of night, it seemed that even the moon was hidden behind the clouds and went to sleep. Adele quietly picked up the gift box that had been prepared earlier, and tiptoed upstairs.

"Put it next to Violet's pillow..."

As Adele opened a gap in the room, she saw Violet lying on the bed with her eyes closed, breathing evenly. She probably waited too long for herself, but she couldn't overcome the sleepiness after all.

Holding the gift lightly, Etil just stepped into the room, suddenly!Violet's eyes snapped open!Those eyes are like two gems shining in the night!At this moment, Adele immediately squatted down and lay down in a blind spot under the bed.

Violet looked around and found that the officer hadn't come yet, so she wanted to get up to check. Adele immediately stood up pretending to have just come in, patted Violet's head and said.

"Shh, go to bed early. I'll be there in a minute."

Violet huddled under the quilt and said to Adele.

"Is Chief Etil going to give gifts?"

"Like Santa Claus?"

Adele made a silence gesture to Violet, and with the gift box between her legs, she quietly exited the door.

"Ah...it can't be put in at all...or put it under the Christmas tree..."

Adele looked at the Christmas tree, and suddenly remembered the few chocolates that Violet gave him during the day.

Taking one casually and throwing it in his mouth, Adele chewed while thinking about how to deal with the gift, put it under the Christmas tree, and how to reflect that it was a special gift from Santa Claus himself to Violet. ?

As the chocolate was bitten open, the rich and silky sweet aroma made Adele so delicious that he couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

"Eh? It's really good, and there are sandwiches..."

"Woolen cloth........"

Plop! ! ! ! ! ! !

With a sound of falling to the ground, Adele's whole body fell directly into the pile of gifts. Before she lost consciousness, she looked at the candy wrapper in her hand by the light of the fire.

"Brandy....bonbon..."

"Oops......"

The next day, with Alice's disappointed complaints, everyone got up and washed one after another.

"There's no Santa Claus! And no Christmas presents!"
