Hmm? You want to take a chance with me?

I’m not surprised~

Humans talk a lot about how the winter snow and the lights they put up always set the mood… even if that’s more about romance, I think it can still apply to other kinds of moods, right?

If you disagree, I can always find somewhere to light some candles instead.

Don’t worry, cutie, I’ll make sure today is a day you never forget. And if you make it unforgettable for me too, may we could spend an unforgettable night together as well… if we both want to.

[speaker chuckles]

Can I hold your hand, or is that too forward?

I just don’t want us to lose each other in the crowds.

Everyone’s excited today, so I’m sure there’ll be people rushing about and bumping into each other, whether they mean to or not.

It would help me feel safer if I felt your hand in mine…

***

Thank you, cutie.

[they hold hands]

You don’t mind if I stand this close to you too, right?

For safety, of course.

***

You really are a such a sweetheart. I can feel my heart fluttering already.

Are you sure you don’t have some seduction powers as well?

***

[speaker chuckles]

I suppose you’re just a natural, then.

Ah, this is exciting!

This is my first time going to a festival in a different realm.

Since we don’t really get seasons in H-E-double hockey sticks, this is all new to me.

We do celebrate ‘a’ festival around this time of year, but…

…Well, let’s just say the one here is a lot more… innocent.

I’m looking forward to experiencing all of it with you~

Now, what would be a good place to start…

***

Anything I want to do today?

Hmm… I want to everything do succubily – or in your case, humanly – possible, really.

But if there was anything I definitely wanted to do…

I suppose it would be buying souvenirs for my friends and family back home!

We’re not usually allowed out of h-e- double upside-down straws for personal leisure, on account of being a part of the demon king’s ‘tempting humans to sin’ scheme.

***

Yes, that plan was abandoned long ago once the treaties between all the monsters, animals and humans was signed.

It was around this time, actually! It’s what the festival back home is based off of.

It’s just that… us succubi were the ones that disliked it the most.

Not because we wanted to hurt humans, mind you – but it meant we couldn’t have as much fun as we wanted anymore.

And I mean, I get enforcing it on the wrath demons, but messing around isn’t a crime, right?

Ahem…

My point is, we don’t get to get out as much.

Since I’m one of the few that does, I like to buy as many trinkets as possible from this realm to help with that. Help them imagine they’re the ones here.

Can I count on you to help me pick out some good ones?

I want to get some that embody the spirit of winter.

So, like… snowflakes! Snowmen!

Maybe some mistletoe we can test out together?

***

Are your cheeks just cold, or is that red glow on your cheeks a special blush just for me?

[speaker chuckles]

I’d like the rest of you to be mine as well~

***

Dodging my advances, huh?

Alright, I’ll back off~ I respect your boundaries, I won’t push them, don’t worry.

***

Are you sure you’re okay with going to the market first?

I’m planning on buying a lot of stuff. We’ll have to carry it around the whole festival.

***

You prefer a date like this to going on rides? And you’ll carry it around for me?

At this rate, I think you’re just a natural at winning over a lady’s heart.

I’ll at least gladly hand over mine to you if you keep this up~

***

Ooo, you’re getting a bit bolder. I like that.

If you want to make sure you get my heart after this date…

I’ll rely on you to pick the presents for my friends and family.

A present for a present – I think that’s fair.

Do you?

***

You already have something in mind?

Of course you’re a quick thinker too.

Is there any part of you that doesn’t make you the full package?

***

No, I wouldn’t be disappointed if you do have flaws.

Everyone has them – humans, animals and monsters.

I may be from h-e- first letter of lollipop and then the first letter of lollipop again, but I’m not from the pride ring.

I won’t demand perfection from my partner. I like them to be an actual person, not an angel!

Though, actual angels certainly aren’t the ‘angelic’ kind some humans like to sing about this time of year.

***

Well, partner if you keep being this amazing person.

…Maybe it is just the mood of the season, but I’m enjoying our time together quite a bit.

Hmm?

…Would you look at that. It’s started snowing.

***

[speaker chuckles]

Since you remembered so suddenly, I’m guessing that the snow reminded you of the present you wanted to recommend?

Thank you for the hint~ I’ll try to guess what it is.

[the pair start walking]

Though I did tell you that I was hoping for something snowflake or snowman themed… that doesn’t narrow it down much.

Is it… a snow machine?

I’ve heard about it, but I’ve never seen one before.

How do humans manage to create snow without any powers?

***

Soap? …I think that’ll melt just as quick as snow back home.

Plus, it’s not actually snow, and you knew that, so I’m assuming that was the wrong option.

What else then…

Some kind of ornament?

I know some humans like to hang them up around this time of year.

***

I’m half-right? I’ll stay on that track of thinking, then.

What other ornaments are there that are to do with snow…

Hats, scarves, and gloves are off the table.

Also any toys… maybe a snowflake or snowman-shaped candle holder?

***

I’m getting close?

Hmmm… maybe I should stop guessing what it is then.

Not that I’m not still interested, but I feel like your gift will have more of an impact if I let you surprise me with it instead of me randomly figuring it out.

Unless you want me to guess it?

You aren’t just waiting for me to say a good idea that you can pretend was yours all along, are you?

***

[speaker chuckles]

I thought not.

You’ve had a very determined look in your eyes since we started walking from how hard you were focusing on getting to whatever stall sells this mystery gift.

It made me a bit jealous… I was mainly trying to get your attention back on me with my guesses.

You’re walking slower and looking at me again, so I’d consider it a success.

***

Not exactly?

You’re not walking slower because of me?

Ouch…

***

Hmm?

Oh, this is the stall you wanted to show me?

…These are…

[speaker picks up snow globe]

So cute!! These are called snow globes, right?

I saw a video about these once – I always thought it was amazing how all it takes is a little tilt and you can make it snow this way and that way, right way up and upside down, from the left, from the right…

Each one here has such a unique interior too. I can get a special snow globe for everyone of my friends and family with this.

This really is the best souvenir present I could get for them from the winter festival.

Alright, I can get this one for my mother… this one for my father… oh, I think Cassie would like this one… and this one for him, that one for her, and those two for them…

And this one looks perfect for you. The two figures of people inside look just like you and me, don’t they?

The smile on the figure that looks like you is almost as cute as yours.

***

It’s only appropriate I get you a gift as well, isn’t it? You helped me out so much by taking the time to bring me here.

It’s also a good way to show how happy I am you chose to spend the time at the festival with me.

If just picking out presents with you is such a good time, I’m sure we’re going to have lots of fun with each other with the rest of today, too.

Although…

I’d like to spend more time with you than just today.

You’re free to spend this winter’s night with me too, aren’t you?
