[It's this time of year again.]
"Merry Christmas. My love."
"You too. Merry Christmas my darling."
[Can you hear the sound of the couples pretending to enjoy their time together? Most of these people would not last and would break up before the new year.]
{I am going to dump him if his present is too cheap.}
{The girl that walked past up is really pretty. I would try to hit on her if only this wrench was not here.}
[See.]
[Wait. Did he say Pretty Girl?]
[This is not good. I have to get away from this place as soon as possible.]
Saiki prepared to teleport away but he was spotted by a small petite blonde woman.
"Hey. Isn't it Four Eyes? No, I mean Saiki senpai?" She said as she pointed at me.
{What is he doing here? Don't tell me he is planning to go to Kokomi's house.}
[This girl is called Imu. Teruhashi's annoying follower. I mean friend. And one of the people that I don't want to meet most.]
[You don't have to pretend to like me. Just be blunt.]
"What are you doing around this place four eyes? Do you think Kokomi will spend her time with you on this day?" She said.
I pointed to the bag that she was carrying with her.
"This? Oh. This is the fruit cake for Kokomi and Megami sama."
"Megami sama invited me to come to his house."
[Really? That sis-con did? That's surprising. I thought he would try to spend his free time with Teruhashi san without anyone being able to bother him. But I was wrong.]
"Hey, what happened? And why are you making that weird face?"
------------------------------
{Come quickly, blonde girl.}
[There he is. For people who are wondering I am using my Clairvoyance ability to see what that idiot is currently thinking.]
{She caught me trying to take her underwear from the laundry basket and now she is not talking to me anymore.}
[Pervert.]
{But if the girl comes I could use her to make Kokomi talk to me again.}
[So that's your plan.]
{Hmm. By the way where exactly is Kokomi? I have not seen her for a few hours already.}
[Oh no. Don't tell me.]
------------------------------
"Four eyes. What happened? You stopped talking for a few seconds."
"Hey. Wait. Where are you going?"
My legs moved. I didn't even reply anything to Imu. I have a bad feeling about this.
I feel like my peaceful Christmas is going to be ruined.
[Wait, why am I running? I could just teleport.]
Saiki ran towards a corner in a place where Imu could not see him and used teleportation to get back to his home.
-----------------------------
I opened the door to see that my worst fear had come true.
Not only Teruhashi is here but Kaido, Nendou, Hairo, Mera and Umehara are also here.
"Kuu-chan. Your friends are here." Mom said to me.
"But you already know this don't you," Dad said.
"Saiki. I have bought a fruit cake." Kaido said.
"Partner. I... What am I supposed to say again?" Nedou was clueless as always.
"I will eat this fruit cake for you, Saiki," Mera said while drolling.
"I helped Kaido pick it up," Umehara said.
{A girl helping a boy pick up something. People might even think we are dating.}
[Calm down. You helped him pick up a fruit cake.]
"Sorry for interrupting. Saiki." Teruhashi said to me.
{Aren't you glad to see me? I wonder if he said offu. He is going to say offu this night under the mistletoes.}
[Teruhashi-san. Mistletoes are not for saying offu.]
"Yare. Yare."
I give up on trying to defy God's order.
It seems that this night I might have to spend time with them.
[It's not that bad.]
Saiki said as he sat down near his friends while eating the fruit cake that Kaido bought.
