Brother Hal (nii). This world only lasts until October, right?

　One day, Akari asked me.

'Yeah, that's right,'

　A year in this world is only three hundred days.
　By the way, a year is ten months, and a month is thirty days.
　A month is five weeks and a week is six days.

　It took me a while to get used to this sense of dates.


I see, that means there is no a-ree.

　Somehow, Akari's expression darkened.

'What things?'

...Christmas.

　Oh. That makes sense.

　Since there is no December in this world, of course there is no Christmas.

　In the first place, if there was until December in this world, a white-bearded old man (Santa Claus) dressed in red would come into the house in the middle of the night and leave a present at the child's bedside, a custom(?). is unlikely to penetrate.

　It's a given that it's bandits and burglars who break into homes in the middle of the night in this world.
　If a non-household member of the family notices that a house has been entered in the middle of the night, they become an immediate target for attack.

　Some households have traps that automatically trigger an attack spell if it detects someone other than a family member.

　Especially in the mansions of nobles, there are many traps that are powerful enough to kill anyone other than the person whose magic power is registered to them if they are detected.


''Then there's no Santa Claus, right?

　In the original world, even Akari didn't believe in Santa Claus.
　But this was a different world.

　He probably thought that if there was a Christmas, there might be a real Santa Claus.
　But in this world, there is no December.

''Well........yes.''

　If there is a December in this world, if there is a Christmas and there is a Santa Claus, he has to be very strong in order to give presents to children.

　He has to be able to avoid the traps that have been set.
　He must be able to fight off the attacks of the patriarch, who is trying to protect his family.
　Or, you'll need to be able to hide in plain sight, undetected by traps and humans.

　It seems to me that bandits are much more likely to have the ability to do that.

Yeah, that's right...

　There is no Santa Claus in this world.
　Akari, who understood that, looked very sad.


　And then I remembered something.

Akari. There is no Christmas, but there is a Santa Claus-like figure.

What?

There's a saying in this world that an old man named "The Gifter" will bring you a present for your child's birthday.

　It's an old man who only comes to a child who has been a good boy for a year.
　Apart from the birthday gifts that their parents give them, they get another gift.

　Children from families where their parents are too poor to give them a present could get a gift from the gifter if they have been a good boy.


'Akari's birthday is next week if we go by the original world date.

'Uh-huh!　Brother Hal (nee), you remembered me.

Isn't it obvious?

　Of course I can remember my little sister's birthday.

　I had a different birthday when I was reincarnated in this world.
　My birthday in my original world was in November.

　Since Akari was reincarnated in the body created by the goddess in this world, she doesn't seem to know the exact date of her birthday. So I decided to call it the birthday in my original world, which is also my birthday here.


'Akari helped me defeat the evil gods, and she's doing her best to do the housework. That's why I think you'll get a present from the Gifter. Of course, you'll get a present from us too.

　When it was someone's birthday, the Elnor family made sure that I got them what they wanted.

Really?

'Yeah. By the way, what does Akari want if a gifter is coming for him?

It's, uh...

　Akari is blushing.　
　Apparently, it's a hard thing to say to me.

'If you've been a good boy, the Gifter will see to that. They also seem to know what the boy wants. So if you're uncomfortable telling Akari, you don't have to tell me.

Yeah!

　Akari gives me a relieved look.

　Then Akari said he would tell her on the day of her birthday what present he wanted to receive from me.
　It seems that even on the day, I can prepare a gift for you.

　I don't think Akari won't ask for that much, so there won't be a problem.


　By the way, the gifter thing is just a legend.
　So I'm sorry, but Akari won't be getting a real gifter.

　But my sister, Santa(?) I'm looking forward to getting a gift from
　I'm going to make that dream come true.


All right, let's do it!

　Grasping the desired item without even putting it into words.
　He avoids all the countless traps set in the mansion.
　And he leaves the gift under his pillow without letting anyone in the mansion know that it is there.

　He could be seen as a stalker or a thief.

　I will become such an otherworldly Santa!
