Christmas Special (2)

AN: Here's the second part of the Christmas Special! Hope you enjoy it and merry Christmas and happy holidays for all of you! Love you all!!!

Right after the first bite, their eyes all sparkled in bliss over the incredibly delicious taste they've never experienced before. They began stuffing their faces greedily which made Leon glad that they enjoy his cooking.

"Leonf! Theesh are sho goodf! Jusf whatf are theesh?!"

Mia asked with her cheeks still stuffed full of food.

"These are Arc boar, Hiexter's beef, Gredulian's meat and Poultrienia's meat."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Hm?"

Lily, Mia and Rafael's hands stopped moving as they stared at Leon with wide eyes. Leon who saw them act that way tilted his head in confusion.

Mia gulped down the food in her mouth and began stuttering.

"A-A-Aren't those the names of... menace and disaster class monsters..."

"Hm? Yes, the Arc boar and Poulteria were menace class while Hiexter and Gredulia were disaster. Is there something wrong?"

"Where do I even start..."

"Hm?"

"THOSE ARE INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS MONSTERS YOU KNOW?!"

Mia yelled in slight anger and worry.

"Leon... those monsters you just listed were considered as incredibly dangerous monsters despite being similarly incredibly delicious. Even royalties almost never have the opportunity to taste it..."

"Is that so?"

Lily said as she tried to calm Mia down.

"Hah... I really can't believe I got the chance to eat such luxurious feasts..."

"I can't believe he'd go this far for just a feast! I mean, they're very dangerous you know?! Even a rank A need a competent party to defeat one of them! And Leon did this himself... I know he's strong and all but still..."

Leon then realized that Mia wasn't just shocked. But she's also angry at Leon for doing something so rash for a mere feast. Although the other two didn't voice it like Mia, they were still similarly worried and slightly angry at Leon for his recklessness.

"I-I'm sorry for acting so recklessly. I just thought since this was a celebration, I'd make all of you something special."

"...I'm sorry for yelling too. I'm just so mad at you for acting so recklessly... Next time you want to do something this dangerous, bring us too! We would, at least, get your back!"

"She's right Leon. Don't just do things by yourself. We're friends right?"

"T-That's right... We'll always help you."

Leon stared at them in surprise for a while. He never knew they'd be willing to stay by his side despite the danger.

His player assistants who saw this smiled warmly at their master. They were incredibly happy that he has manage to found friends who truly cared for him and would stay by him no matter what.

"...Thank you. Thank you very much. I'll keep that in mind."

Leon smiled a genuine smile at them. It was the same warm feeling he had from when he defeated the behemoth and realized they were his friends in the truest meaning.
