"Drink!" Youmu raised his glass and shouted, "In any case, our team's hard work this year is over. It seems that until Christmas, we don't have to worry about the food in the Demon Kingdom. Anyway, the troublesome things will be out of the question.
As we think, while we can still have fun now, let’s cheers! Cheers, cheers!”
"Cheers!" x n
Crownpis also grabbed a spare wine glass, asked a soldier from Youmu's team who didn't even ask for his name to fill it up for him, and then put it to his mouth and drank it with a "gul-dong-dong" sound.
"I will drive five RVs out, so you should prepare based on this." Crownpis put down his cup and waved before leaving.
"Ha! Good wine, um...does this even solve the problem of taking a bath?"
"This really doesn't feel like traveling."
"Nonsense, it's not a trip in the first place."
Everyone happily discussed that in this world, long-distance travel is still a relatively difficult thing, and RVs are a good thing.
"That's great, Miao Lan. This time I don't have to be as dusty as the previous trips back home." Youmu patted Miao Lan who joined their team and said happily.
However, he immediately noticed that Miao Lan seemed a little worried, so he used his skills to resist the urge to drink, and asked: "What's wrong? Are you worried?"
"No, I just felt that the change was sudden and I didn't react." Miao Lan said hurriedly, picking up the wine in front of him and taking a sip.
"Really? It's just... if you have any difficulties, just say it and I will try my best to help you solve it, Miao Lan."
The onlookers were a little anxious. Everyone could see that Youmu was interested in Mu Lan, but when were they going to make a move?
However, Miao Lan was not worried. She just thought: Is this a sign that Clayman's plan is ready to be implemented? It was obviously expected to take until next year. But Clayman did not contact her during this period.
Ah, how many days are left until next year?

Speaking of Christmas, one of the absolutely indispensable elements is——
"What? A Christmas tree? Why do you want me to do such a thing?" Cronpis asked Rimuru in confusion.
"Aha, isn't it that we can't find a tree that stands tall and upright like a tower? It's rare to prepare so many colorful neon lights." Rimuru took out long strings of lights and said.
"Aren't neon lights many times more difficult to make than trees? I really can't understand why it took me many years to make something that used to take many years to develop a country with a population of millions, but how can it be in your hands so quickly?" Cronpis felt like a certain
I want to give up thinking about some aspects.
"If you want a Christmas tree, just find any tree that you think is the right size, and then forcibly cut off some of the branches and leaves to shape it into the shape of a Christmas tree, okay..." before Crounpis could finish his words, thunder suddenly appeared in his mind, and he shouted
He stood up and said, "You don't want me to release the hell demon tree itself as a Christmas tree, right! Ah?!"
"Ah, ah hahahaha... pull up all the colorful lights and make it look like a giant tent around the town. I think it's pretty cool, take a picture and put it in the brochure? Crownpiss
Do you think...it really doesn't work?" Rimuru asked cautiously after sneering.
"The shape of my tree is not suitable, but I don't want to cut it for you. How about this, I use natural magic to summon a huge fir tree that is 100 meters high... Is it better to use a fir tree or a pine tree?"
"It's still a pine tree."
Crownpis followed Rimulu to the central square and found that the middle of the square had been cleared. There was a high platform that looked like a bonsai base. In addition to being used as a stage, its other function should be——
"Plant a tree in here?" Klauenpith pointed to the soil inside and said, "It would be stable enough to insert a stick several hundred meters high, but don't you think the root system won't be able to stretch at all?"
"Ah? You don't need to leave it here for a long time, it will be disbanded in a week."
"...Well, it doesn't matter." Crownpis spread out the magic circle on the soil, and the conical crown rose from the ground, rising, rising. Finally, the length of the crown reached the end, and the main trunk appeared, holding the crown and continuing to soar up.
The final height stopped at 270 meters.
"Wow oh oh oh oh oh!" The people who were attracted to the scene naturally made a noise.
"It's too high! The flying dragons are all hibernating, so you have to overcome your fear of heights when setting up the layout!" Rimuru unleashed a series of slaps and complaints on Crounpith.
Crounpis: "Isn't it nice to find Veldora? I'll leave it to you to convince you to do such a trivial matter. Come on~"
Rimuru turned around and looked at the shadow of Crounpiss disappearing, and thought to himself: "Could he be... angry?"
Not long after Clunpis left, Rimuru was looking up at the big tree, calculating how long the wires, lights and decorations would be, when there was a "swish" - vines sprouted from the ground nearby, and Toreni rose from them.
Got up.
"Um, Ms. Toreni?! Are you not very serious about Christmas?" Rimuru looked at Toreni in surprise, who had already put on Christmas clothes.
"A lot of time has passed since the invasion of the Pig-headed Emperor. It's really peaceful, right, Rimuru-sama?" Torene asked calmly.
"Peace is peace, but a lot of things happen." Recalling the nearly two years since he came to this world, Rimuru also felt a little emotional.
"It seems...another bad wind is about to blow, blowing down the Jura Great Forest. Rimuru-sama, please be more careful in the coming new year."
"Oh..." Rimuru also became serious. The tree elf's predictions of danger are always accurate.
"Speaking of which, since Rimuru-sama needs a tree, why didn't you come to me?" Toreni said with the same tone.
But Rimuru seemed to feel the "boom boom boom" sound in that, and he said frankly: "If you just promote the growth of trees in the unsuitable season, won't it consume the vitality of the coming year? The big forest can still grow and multiply when it is suitable.
Better."

Puppet State Kistau——
"Hooray, Clayman!" Tia danced in circles and came to Clayman's house, and said happily, "I brought you, the famous product of the Kingdom of Ingulasia."
But she immediately stopped moving, and the atmosphere was not right.
Fleur is here too.
Since the Demon Kingdom was born, it is not uncommon for Demon Lords who feel that there will be some kind of crisis if they don't keep up with the trend to gather together from time to time. However, the current situation is indeed not quite right.
Clayman looked quite distressed, but the real cause of his distress seemed to have nothing to do with the tea cup on his head, the tea poured all over him, or the unmaintainable hairstyle.
"I didn't see anything?" Tia took small steps and retreated out of the door.
