Power Travels in the Multiverse

》Christmas Special《

▪︎Delivering presents across the multiverse▪︎

-Ahh. Fuck. What happened? -I start to regain consciousness and find myself in a snowy place.

-Finally woke up, come on, we have work to do. -A woman with dark blue hair wearing a Santa Claus outfit talks to me while stroking some strange reindeer dolls that were tied to a sleigh.

-May I know who you are first? -I raise an eyebrow when I see her talking to me as if we already knew each other.

-Oh, yes, sorry for my manners, you can call me Santa Claus. -The woman bows to me as she introduces herself.

-... -My mind simply stops when I hear that.

-Something wrong?

-... I expected a fat old man, not someone who is practically my age and is not yet a man.

-Everyone thinks that. As I said before, we have work to do, here put this on. -She goes to the back of the sleigh and among the presents and picks up a reindeer costume.

-Okay, but can I ask where I would change? I don't want to change in this cold and in front of you.

-Okay, let's go to a more suitable place. -She gets on the sleigh and takes the reins and then immediately pats the seat next to her.

...

-Just one question, where are we going? -I open a can of coke, feeling the wind blowing on my face and also the reindeer antlers and ears I put on.

-I chose you to be my helper for a reason, your ability. -Sant Claus continues to drive and answers me without even looking at me.

-My ability? -I look at her out of the corner of my eye, drinking my soda.

-You can travel to other worlds, can't you?

-I know, but why would you want to use that? -I turn my face towards her.

-I happen to want to spread the joy of Christmas to all the worlds.

-Hmmm. -I get closer to her face and scratch my chin.

-... -Claus continues to pilot the sleigh.

-What a noble reason! -I give her a hug when I see her concern for the people of the multiverse.

-Thanks. -She just continues to hold the reins without even returning my hug.

-So which is the first world you want to go to!? -I stand up on the bench and raise my arms to the night sky excitedly.

-Please, sit down.

...

~Danmachi World~

-We're going down now, is there anyone in particular you want to give presents to first?

-No one, but I'll start with Bell and Hestia.

...

~Church~

-A book of heroes, seriously Bell? You're what, like five years old? -I see the old book with the cover of a man fighting a black dragon.

-I hope my goddess likes my present. -I hear a voice outside.

-Ah Danmit, where's Hestia's present? -I quickly search the bag for their other present.

Cleak!

-Wow, I wonder who gave us these presents? -The boy reaches the foot of the Christmas tree and crouches down to see the wrapped presents.

-Glub. -I swallow hard because I'm a few steps away from him, only not being noticed because I used the illusion of my ring.

-Bell-kun! I got two sleds, do you want to find a place for us to slide!? - Hestia shouts from outside the church.
