Short Stories: Lovely Christmas and New Year

Christmas season...

It was a occasion that everyone celebrates in the Cardinal World, it was possible thanks to the new Goddess named Rimuru. Tempest was considered as the center of Christmas season as it was the first one to celebrate and introduce such so called banquet.

Currently, Rimuru was observing the Cardinal World preparing for Christmas. Then for quite some time, she looks at Tempest's citizens preparing the their capital city for such occasions. Unknowingly, she has a smile on her face as she drinks her champagne.

"Rimuru." Someone called her.

Rimuru then turned over to see Ruminas wearing her usual Gothic Dress. She was smiling as she looks at Rimuru who just turned around to look at her.

"Hai, Ruminas?" Rimuru asks with a smile on her face.

"It seems you're in a good mood." Said Ruminas.

Rimuru smiles as this. "Maybe... it's just too good to see that the whole Cardinal World is celebrating Christmas soon."

"Is that so? But isn't this already almost a century since they started celebrating it?" She asks as she walks towards Rimuru with an knowing smile.

Rimuru nods her head. "But still, I couldn't help but smile, knowing Veldanava. I'm sure he is also happy right now with Lucia."

"Thinking about your brother, huh? Then what about me then? You should pay attention to your 5th Empress more, darling~" Said Ruminas as she then went to Rimuru and began to suck her Magicules from her neck.

"My bad, enjoy sucking my Magicules Rumi-chan~" Rimuru said seductively as she hugs Ruminas.

"Ah! Ruminas that's unfair!" Said Chloe as she then sprints towards Rimuru.

"Hah... come here Chloe." Rimuru said as she puts away her champagne on her 「Infinite Storage」and signals Chloe to come.

She then comes towards them and she kisses Rimuru's lips. Rimuru then reciprocates it and began to stick her tongue inside Chloe's mouth.

Then all of a sudden, both Chloe and Ruminas got tied by a spider web. A second later, Shiraori reveals herself while pouting.

"Chloe, Ruminas. I believe it was my turn to be spoiled by Rimuru." She said with some jealous tone of voice as eye were twitching a bit.

"Ahaha..."

"Are~? What happened here? Chloe and Ruminas got tied up in a spiderweb by Shiraori-san? Why?" Shizue asks as she then walks inside towards the room.

'Looks like this will be a long and interesting Christmas.' Rimuru thought as she sighed and smiles.

? POV:

What did he said just now? D-Did he said that he loves me?! No way?! T-This can't be real... right? I-Is this a dream? N-No... that's not it.

It's unfair that he suddenly hugged me like that... he even called my name and said I love you!

He was holding me tight as I possessed what he just said to me. I was happy, really happy... I can't believe that Jirou just confessed his feelings towards me! I was planning in telling him later on...

But what if... no. I shouldn't think this much...

I then hugged him tight as I shed my tears on his shoulder.

"...Akari?" He calls my name.

"I... I'm..." I tried to say something but I couldn't stop from crying.
