Short Story ─ New Year

The end of the year came at last.

It was a really crazy year for me.

I had to fight against powerful enemies, against capture targets and especially against the bosses of the game, still my fight is not over yet.

The good thing about it all is that I was able to get a harem.

Which I was enjoying myself with at the moment.

"The snow is a lot!"

Eli and the others were with me at the square in the capital.

Many people were gathering here.

As it was snowing, the girls wanted to play in the snow.

They looked like little girls playing.

But there was someone who didn't seem to be having fun.

"Don't you like it here?"

I was saying this to Amy, who has been living with us for a long time.

Leila was also living with us, at the moment there was her and the twins making snowmen.

Since Amy had been quiet for a while, I was uncomfortable with the silence.

She answered me.

"It's not that, it just feels weird to be here."

"Weird?"

Amy slid her scarf down to talk to my face, we were sitting on a bench in the square.

"It feels weird to be here, I didn't think I'd ever get used to life in the capital."

Amy doesn't have many memories of her past, but she just knows that she hates the capital with all her heart.

I told her to watch that cute scene.

"Even if you feel like you hate this place, up ahead there are reasons not to.

In front of us were Eli with Lily throwing snowballs at Evelyn and Celia."

There was also another group of people having fun.

Amy looked at me blushing.

"It's just... I wanted to be alone with you."

Those words made me blush too, it wasn't the first time I heard them, but it was very embarrassing for her to say them.

"Okay, let's find time just for us later."

Amy took my hand and agreed as she ducked her head shyly.

"Ten!"

"Nine!"

In the square there was a large clock ticking the time.

The countdown began for a new year, but I was very uneasy about what would happen in the future.

There were still several dangers, such as the demon kings, the Ideal Empire and especially the threat that Astraea said.

In truth, I feel that I won't be able to achieve my goal if I don't tell Amy to destroy the world.

But, the people of the enemy empire are not to blame, it would be simple to say just destroy the emperor's palace, but that would mean killing everyone who works there, they just follow orders.

Then come the deadly sin users, how the hell am I going to find the remaining ones?

It's supposed to be a spirit according to Astraea, will I be able to defeat something that looks like smoke?

"Two!"

"One!"

I really hope to achieve my goal and thus avoid my ruin and the end of the world.

"Happy New Year!"

The girls started hugging each other to congratulate each other.

They hugged me too and didn't want to let me go.

Everything was happiness with the arrival of a new year, the last year of the prologue, but that meant that the danger ahead would not happen.

I became much more determined to achieve my goal as Licht.

Happy new year to all, I will work hard as Licht to save the world.
