Chapter 23

~Timeskip (Issorotopia)

You walked out from the ship, followed by Al and Leon. "Hey, hey, Leon, I want to see Al's crush," you said to Leon, keeping your pace with him.

Al furrowed his brows. "I have a crush?"

"Leon said you do." You pointed at Leon and saw Leon grinned. 

"...I guess you better see someone else first." Al shrugged.

This time you raised an eyebrow and followed Al and Leon walked to their kingdom, they walked to their huge chamber of gathering. There was a pine tree inside the chamber, Ray was standing nearby the pine tree with Perce and a girl with long orange hair, her hair was tied to a ponytail, she have orange eyes, and she looked really mature.

Al walked towards them, and stood next to Perce. "Wait- are we celebrating dead instead? Is there why tree corpse here? Aw."

A girl with short brown hair and black eyes walked in and stood next to Leon, snorting in silent laughter with Leon, he looked at Leon and notice that you were standing next to him. "Hi!" she greeted. "My name's Alexa!" She smiled.

You smiled back at her. "I'm (y/n). Alexa? Leon's girlfriend?"

"Yup," she grinned. "Proud and happy to be it."

Leon face turned furiously red hearing her respond. He used one hand to cover his face, making Alexa chuckled.

When Ray was explaining to Al about the pine tree 'corpse', the orange haired girl turned to Perce. "So, where's the guest?" she asked, looking around and her eyes locked with you. "Is that her?" Al nodded. She walked to you and offer her hand "Hi." She softly smiled.

You smiled back at her and shook her hand. "(y/n)."

"My name's Victoria," suddenly she looked up, trying to remember something. "Oh, right, there's-" but Ray covered her mouth with his hand.

"Um, Victoria, it's a secret for now."

"O-oh, really? Sorry."

"Ah, no, don't be," he awkwardly answered, rubbing the back of his neck as he looked away.

"Anyway, presents!" Leon and Alexa suddenly shouted.

"Correct," Ray finally said, signalling you, Al, Leon, Alexa, and Victoria to sat on the carpet in front of the fireplace. "The important thing is the presents." All of you walked to him, and he sat down, followed by everyone.

"Wait, presents?" Al asked.

Alexa grinned. "The 'ornaments'."

"Oh! Wait, I got something for you, little girl!" Al said as he walked out from the room, while everyone looked at each other. 

"Little girl?" they asked, Al came back with a box in his hand, he had uncharacteristic grin on his face. Uncharacteristic because he rarely smile, especially when celebrating Christmas, or in this case, winter. He tossed you the box.

"So, you're little girl?" Ray asked.

"How old are you?" Perce asked this time.

"Uh... 20?"

"Come on, Al always gave random people nickname," Leon said. "Now, open the box!"

You opened it and stared inside. "Umm... what are these?" you asked Al, taking one of it.

Al shrugged. "I found some bleached bones in the dungeons and painted them red. Red is the perfect color for Christmas, right?"

"Al, they're sticky..." You frowned, immediately dropping one back to the box.
