Chapter 368
Arifureta After IV Christmas Special Gather, Santa Claus Four
.
This is something that I wrote in three hours because I had no time so the quality is really rough but, please read it as your Christmas accompaniment if you like!
People of narou, Merry Christmas!
While the world was flourishing with Christmas’s characteristic mood coloring the atmosphere, there was someone running through a back alley in panic.
The delinquents loitering at the back alley smirked when they saw that person who was running.
Why?
Because the person was a beautiful female wearing santa costume!
Yes, the person who was dashing through the back alley desperately at midnight was a young lady with santa cosplay.
Why was she in so much of a hurry? Was she late for her work? Or perhaps she was going to a party? Or perhaps, her mini skirt santa outfit caused some bad guys to chase after her with a bad intention……
Bad guys like us perhaps? The delinquent youths thought while blocking the path. The expression of the santa lady twitched seeing that. The youths vulgarly grinned at her seeing that.
「Yoo, lady. What are you doing dressed like――」
「Aah geez, even though this isn’t the time for this!」
「Eh? Ah?」
The santa lady’s leg kicked in a flash at the same time when that voice filled with a lot of irritation and grief burst out.
The completely merciless upper kick exploded on the side of youth’s head. 「Abya!?」 The youth let out a strange scream while flying backward. Even more kicks flashed through the air and mowed down the youths like weeds.
「S-stay down over there quietly okay!」
The santa lady left those words behind to the youths who fainted with their eyes rolled back while dashing away.
One youth who didn’t faint opened his mouth to complain but……the lady was already gone from sight at that time. The incident that happened too fast robbed him of any target to vent and he could only curse 「Shit-」.
And then he stiffened.
His instinct was telling him Don’t move, hold your breath down. A freezing chill rushed through his body and he felt like all the heat of his body had been robbed.
Right after that, someone passed through in front of the youth. The youth felt a terror without compare at this time, even so he was filled with the desire to praise himself who instinctually closed his eyes so that he didn’t see anything.
He was feeling something similar to a conviction. If his eyes were opened, if he saw the person who passed him by right now, there was no doubt that he wouldn’t get away unscathed from this. Both mentally and physically.
The hustling and bustling were faintly audible from here. The youth felt immeasurably relieved by that noise while he obeyed his body’s desire to let go of his consciousness and forgot everything.

In the meanwhile, the lady santa who splendidly kicked the delinquents flying was――
「Hiiiiiiiiih, it’s cominggg! Something dreadful is chasing meeee! Noooooooo-」
Crying while continuing to run without caring of anything else despite her amazing strength. At the same time,
「Stupid stupid stupid-, Stupid driver!! Even though it already makes me cry to have to work at Christmasss! Why does it turn out like thisss!」
She even complained like hat. Her sanity would be lost because of the terror of the current situation unless she did that. She was convinced that it would be game over for her if she was reduced into such state.
And so, she complained more.
「I thought it was suspicious from the start! Because, he was wearing his hat too deeply that I couldn’t see his eyes! Yet he was driving normally even though there was no way he could see ahead like that! And he was also abnormally silent!」
She fixed her hold on the very old leather bag that she was holding. Its content was something suspicious……or rather, it was a “book” that caused nausea to well up just from looking at it.
「What do you mean by “Surely you’ll be able to deliver it with your legs and stamina that had gotten away from them many times” huh! You’re surely someone related just as I thought!」
When she was doing work of Christmas event tour with the male driver who was her coworker in the company, he suddenly muttered 「This is bad……」 and took out a leather bag out from somewhere. He handed the book to her and told her to deliver it to a certain place.
Naturally the santa lady refused because they were in the middle of working and she didn’t understand what he was talking about, but he then said, 「If you don’t deliver it……everyone will die you know?」. When she objected Then let’s throw it away!, he objected back 「A lot more people will die if you throw it away though?」.
And so, the santa lady checked the content of the book, just in case~, and she understood everything.
Ah, this is a dangerous crap. It’s the unreasonable thing that I had experienced many times in the past. It doesn’t matter whether I cry or go shivering at the corner while holding my head, incredibly gruesome thing will happen to me and my surrounding if I don’t do something about it with everything I have……she thought.
Even so, it was unreasonable to hand this dangerous crap that was even worse than a bomb to someone like her who wasn’t even a transporter much less an explor○ (self-proclaimed). If he was someone related with “that side”, then certainly it wasn’t like she couldn’t understand how she knew about her who boasted an astounding survival rate but……
But, she still couldn’t help but scream.
「Even though, even thoughhhh, I’m just a bus tour guideeeeeeeeeee!!」
She was forced to cosplay as santa to be bus tour guide for Christmas night event just because she was a rookie. Furthermore she was forced to watch the customers having fun and enjoying themselves at the event despite her woes. At the break time, the bus driver whose eyes couldn’t be seen by the hat he was wearing entrusted the blasphemous and repulsive book to her saying 「I leave the rest to you」. Then she got chased by this unknown person who was human but felt dangerous for an unknown reason. It was unreasonable.
She wanted to cry.
She looked at her smartphone while running at full speed. There was still some distance until her destination. It was the distance of five train stops she guessed. It seemed the bus driver (who absolutely couldn’t look forward due to his hat) had contacted his acquaintance who was going to that spot in haste. Apparently that person would do something about his book if she could just hand it over to them but……
「I don’t think I’ll make it at allll」
She rushed out into a relatively wide road. At the corner of her sight she could see a couple snuggling close to each other.
She wanted to cry.
That couple screamed 「Hiih」 seeing the santa lady who dashed out from the back alley with a desperate expression and an amazing speed that would make any sprinter turned pale.
She wanted to wail.
Her field of vision that was blurry from tears caught sight of the pretty crystal dangling from her smartphone. It was the thank you present from the students in the field trip that jauntily shaved her sanity point before this. Apparently it was a charm that might bring her salvation if she wished for it when she was in trouble.
She recovered the leeway in her heart slightly from that. Though she didn’t think it would really cause a supernatural phenomenon that could save her.
Certainly the central figure of those students, the boy who gave her this charm emitted quite the presence. The students all simultaneously looked at him when she talked about the legend of demon king of Kurama. In fact he had the air that felt like a real demon king, but this was this, that was that. There was no way that this charm would really do something for real.
She would die if she got absorbed in such delusion. Reality was reality. Although, there was no doubt that the consideration of those students who were good people deep down when she actually bothered to look closely at them gave a calm to her heart in this cornered situation.
「D-don’t give up. I’ll return home alive too this time, then――I’ll spray that driver’s eyeballs with capsaicin until I emptied the whole bottleeeeee」
From her waist holster――or rather her pocket, she took out an extremely sweet coffee milk, took out a straw and stabbed it in with one hand! The sugar supply flowed in! The bus guide santa-san’s stamina was recovered! Her speed increased further!
But, as expected the reality was still the reality even with the increase of her momentum. The instinct that had protected her until now suddenly rang the alarm bell.
The hair at the back of her neck stood on ends. The bus guide santa-san immediately threw herself forward.
Something passed by overhead. There was the sound of a building’s wall destroyed. At the same time, her hand became numb from the sensation of hard asphalt. She held down the pain with her guts and used her falling momentum to roll like a drill without stopping――
