When I opened the box, I found a message card and a new winter coat made by Patra.

　There is a new coat and gloves.

　They are coordinated with the same outfit that Shannon and Mellow were wearing, and are casually matching.



　When I opened the message card, I found the following message inside.



--Dear Papa

　Thank you for everything.



　Thanks to you, we are able to live happily together.

　Today I made a special coat for you.



　It is made of Patra's yarns, Lucky's hair and Ciel's feathers to make it stronger and lighter.

　Mellow's quick-drying technology also makes it waterproof.



　I hope you like them.



　With love from all of us who love you.



　I want to beat myself up for thinking of finding him hiding just a few seconds ago.

　I was surprised to see Patra learning how to write, but children grow up so fast.



　I almost cry with happiness, but more than that, I have to find Patra and the others.

　I wondered where they really were.

　I went straight out into the garden, where the patras were waiting for me.



"Papa, I have a surprise for you. Did they like it?

"Patra has planned a lot of things. She wanted to give Mr. Locke a secret gift. Instead of giving him a normal gift, this time I gave him something a little more elaborate."



"Thank you Patra, I will take good care of it."

"Look at you, papa!"

　I immediately put on my new warm clothes and found that they were much lighter than I had imagined, and I felt no stress at all wearing them.

　I had no stress at all when I put on the new winter coat.



"I used to mainly use Patra's threads, but when I mixed Ciel's feathers with them, it gave me a magic that made the weight lighter. I didn't know this at all, but it seems to be the effect of these feathers that Skybird can fly so high in the sky."



　I was unexpectedly told of Ciel's greatness.

　Ciel flew up to my shoulder and rubbed herself against me lovingly.



"Ciel has been very active lately, hasn't he?"

　Ciel puffed out his chest as if to say, "Yes.

　I gently nuzzled her neck and she looked ticklish.



"Pappa looks good on you!

----"Rock, you're so handsome.

"Mr. Rock, you look great.

"Master, you look great."





"Thank you all!　We haven't been able to spend much time together, but today we're going to have fun!　Let's go outside and try on these warm clothes!

Let's go!

"Oh!"



　I didn't expect such a surprise gift.

　I'm a little happy to see that the other members seem to be wearing the same outfit.



　When I go outside with the big sled for Lucky, I am again surprised at its size.

"How is this thing going to stop?"

--"It will be fine. --We can easily stop it with wind magic.



--Good, have a safe trip then.

"Have fun, Mr. Lucky!"

　Slowly, the sled is tilting toward the cliff.

　With Lucky's weight and this big sled ...... it's going to go very fast.



----Shannon, I'm coming with you.

"What?"

　Just as they are about to slide out of the sled, Lucky holds Shannon up by her paws.



"No, I'm not!　No!"

　Shannon vanished from sight in an instant.



"That's ...... poor Shannon!"

"Was Mellow okay?"



"I ...... didn't have a problem at all."

"So, one more ride?　Next time with Patra or ......

　Mellow said he was fine, but his knees were shaking.

　Oh, this is a bad idea. I'll leave him alone.



"Papa Patra and the others are slipping!"




"Oh, go on."



　Behind Orange Antoine E sat his gargoyle partner, and they accelerated down the cliff.

　Everyone is active in their play.



　Shannon and the others ...... went into the forest at high speed with Lucky's sled still in it, but the trees in the forest were getting knocked down.

　I guess he didn't add or subtract.



　Lucky runs fast by himself, but he rarely rides such a vehicle, so it must be new for him.



"Master, is this normal for you and Lucky?

"Hmm?　Well, it's not exactly normal, but Patra is the child of a very powerful demon in the dungeon called Orange Ant, and Lucky is Fenrir. I think it's a little more extreme than the average."



"It seems that ...... standards are already broken in many ways, don't you think?"

"If you say so, Mellow is also a mermaid queen. She has her own personality." "I can't deny that, but...



"I can't deny it, but I thought the strength of ...... Leviathan's Sun was amazing, and I couldn't imagine a world like this anymore."



"I can understand that feeling a little. I didn't think the world was this big either.

"I agree with you. I'll never get bored of it.

　Mellow sat down on the snow and started to sing in a lovely voice.

　Her voice echoed through the mountains and soared into the sky.



　While we were relaxing, Lucky came back with his tail wagging.



"Did you have a good time?"

--"It's so much fun!　The speed is different!　Oh, Rock!　I found a black magic wind hole in the cave deep in the forest, should I use wind magic to scatter it?　I'll go there as many times as I have to, and I'll scatter them as I go.



　Lucky looked happy, but in contrast, Shannon, who was groaning and exhausted, was on his back.



"In the forest?　Isn't that what you said would happen due to the retention of magic power?　Why was it in the forest?"

　There's no way that could happen.

　There's something wrong with the land around here.

　Let's go back there and get it all scattered. Shannon's ...... gonna get lucky.
