Chapter 16: Christmas- Act 2
The party began and everything went into full swing. Some of my customers and friends, people like Kofuku and Milim and their friends were at the table with me and wards. Harry was more interested in the snacks that Kofuku brought with her than the meal that was placed infront of him, while his friend Ron had the opposite feeling and was eating with immense gusto the chicken, ham, and mash potatoes while his other school friends looked over with a strange look.
"Ah! My nephew is too cute!" shouted Kofuku as she brought Harry in for a hug. He seemed to not mind it much, but gradually grew irritated as she smothered him in love and affection, and I could see a hint of embarrassment blush on his face, turning it a beet red.
"Come on Auntie!" he grumbled and that seemed to make her want to do it all the more, and I could hear chuckles from his friends at his misfortune. I was sipping my grape juice, as I was not one for alchohol, when Guy started a conversation with me.
"So your the friend Milim has been talking about" he said, it being more of a statement than a question. "Yes sir" I said to him, sipping from my cup and then putting it down. "You seem quite weak, so it just surprised me as all" he said and I narrowed my eyes. "What a weird observation" I said.
The pixie over there seemed enthralled at all the stuff I had and made a strange request. "Please let come live here!" she said, not really asking. My mouth was agaped as it sounded like a rude request. "No" I said to her and she seemed to deflate. Guy found humor in it, and the slow chuckles he released were evident.
"However, this vault of yours seems magnificent, almost like an ultimate skills" said Guy, and I had a look on my face that caused him to explain. "Ultimate skills are abilities that render the laws of nature moot against ones will and the area the skill rules over" said Guy, and I felt the explanation was too plain for such a great power but I let it be. "Well. for a place that has everything, I feel like its a good power" I said.
"Hooo, everything huh" said Guy and I felt a piercing stare towards me, and I felt he had a plan up his sleeves. "Yep" I said to him and I felt the buzzing wings of a pixie next to my ears and slight whispers of "Let me live here" she muttered as I grabbed her and threw her towards Guy as he caught her quickly and smoothly.
"Stop causing trouble Ramiris" said Guy as he threw her towards her seat and she seemed dizzy. "What the hell Guy!?" she shouted and Guy laughed, seemingly not having a care for the world. As the dinner wore on, it was time for the main event of giving gifts.
Of course, and I prepared cakes, finger foods, and more drinks for the event. Gift giving was an event where everyone invited to the party was going to be given a few gifts, some more some less, depending on relation and length of time I have known them. Jesus, has to separate piles for him so he gets a separate gifts for Christmas and his Birthday.
"Alright, the first gifts go to Harry Potter and his friends!" I said jovially as the gifts floated over to their table and magnificent gifts appeared. Ron's face was alright with jovial fun as he got some new clothes, a robe that enhanced magic, and a brand new and only for him. Hermione got a set of books and reading glasses that translated all languages into the users head. Neville got a brand new one, some money, and powerful magical artifacts. Harry of course got weapons and other things like grimoirse.
Kofuku and her enterage then received their items. Kofuku got new divine items, Daikoku got new clothes and hair, and Yato has an auto build kit, and I have a feeling I would regret that choice about it.
Jesus got his birthday presents first, then he got his Christmas gifts which was full of Japanese culture stuff and transportation tickets to different gods on different worlds he could visit. Buddha got noise cancelling headphones, and some books long lost to the ages past.
The came the Malfoys. Lucius got a magical projector, a magical cauldron for enhancing and refining potions, and other magical things. Narcissa got a bunch of expensive beauty products, a dress with enhancement effects, and a magic tv to watch programming from any world.
For Milim, I gotten her a sword that was forged from a material called star dust. Also along with that was a resurrection stone, an elixir of eternal life, and a bunch of weapons and stuff. I also gave some small gifts like swords and magic books to her enterage.
Rimuru seemed happy with that, and I could feel the weapons I gave to Guy and Ramiris were gonna be household favorites. They were soul weapons forged out of crimson steel and orichalcum, a mysterious combination that would make for great weapons. Guy himself seemed intrigued by his weapon and I could feel its power already growing.
As all the presents were distributed, the festive ones waited for my words. "Now that the gifts were all handed out, lets party!" I shouted and the mood seemed to soar onwards from that remark.
The night was growing old, and by the mark of midnight, the party was dwindling down and the guests were beginning to recede. "Man, this was a nice party!" commented Milim as her attendants nodded.
"I agree, better than walpurgis" said Ramiris and while I wanted to ask what that was, I decided it wasn't worth it.
"Well, thank you for the invite!" said Milim as she and her enterage left through the door with her people, and Guy gave me one last look and left along with Rimuru and Ramiris following behind him. 'What a strange individual' I thought.
The Malfoys commented me on a well hosted party, and put in an idea for business proposals. They had their hand in a fair share of businesses and other such things, and offered to help me sell stuff in the world for money, even though I probably have an infinite amount of their currency, galleons I think.
"Thank you for inviting us" said the gremlins that were Harry's friends. Ron seemed very happy about his gifts, something about how his family can't afford new stuff alot. I suddenly felt pitiful about the excuse.
As the last guests trickled out, I had one thought on my mind 'I am enjoying this'.
[A/N: Man, this took a minute. But anywho, I wanted to say I was gonna try and write a remake of chapter one of this story, see if I can take it in a better direction.
