Yami grumbled as he strode into the office, dropping off a sealed letter onto the desk with an audible thud.
"This is the last time I'm doing any favors for Will. Making me go all the way to the castle...on a holiday too,"
As soon as he left and went into the corridor, he collided with someone,
"Eh? Hey, watch it,"
Charlotte stood before him, her face rapidly flushing bright red,
"Y-Yami, I didn't see you,"
Yami took a moment to glance over her, noticing the elegant red dress she wore, its color contrasting sharply with her usual stoic demeanor,
"Hm. It's okay. Where are you heading wearing that?"
Charlotte's blush deepened as she nervously adjusted the hem of her dress.
"My squad is having a Christmas party. Do you want to come?"
Yami crossed his arms and shrugged,
"Is it for everyone?"
Charlotte nodded, a hopeful smile creeping onto her face,
"Yes. There is a lot to celebrate this year,"
Yami nodded,
"Alright. I'll be there."
Charlotte's smile widened, but as she turned to leave, an invisible force blocked her path.
"Huh?"
Yami looked up and narrowed his eyes,
"Oh,"
Charlotte followed his gaze and felt her heart leap into her throat at the sight of a familiar green plant.
"AH?!"
Yami sighed, his expression deadpan,
"Well, I guess we gotta do this to get out of the trap,"
Charlotte turned as red as her dress, shaking her head in disbelief,
"How did the mistletoe get here?!"
Yami raised an eyebrow,
"Mistletoe?"
Charlotte nodded,
"Yes, mistletoe!"
Yami shook his head and pointed up to the green plant,
"That right there is Mistlefoe. I don't know what this mistletoe thing is you're talking about. Sounds dumb."
Charlotte's jaw dropped,
"Eh? Mistlefoe?"
Yami nodded,
"Yeah. Mistlefoe. Celeste told me about it when I became a magic knight. She said that the only way to get out of the force field shit is to fight whoever you are with,"
Charlotte's eyes widened in shock,
"What?! No! That is mistletoe! You have to kiss whoever you're stuck under it with!"
Yami deadpanned at her,
"That's dumb."
Charlotte opened her mouth but Yami interrupted her by kissing her cheek,
"There. Now I have to find a certain idiot who lied to me."
Charlotte stood frozen in place, her face ablaze as Yami calmly strode down the corridor.
"AHHHHHHH!!!!"
