翁公和媛媛在厨房里猛烈进出

Each clam perfectly fit his horn, not being too small or too big, and instead of his horns being bright red, they were now the metallic metal of the clam shells.

With Christmas coming up soon, there was no way Zeng could go outside with his bright-red horns showing, but with the metallic-colored horns, he could pass as... a reminder cosplayer?

Anyway, it was much better than the bright red horns that stood out to everyone.

Standing back up, Zeng touched his horns, feeling the odd texture of the clam shells on them instead of the usual rough feeling of his red horns.

As Zeng rushed to the mirror, I looked back at Raven... who was entranced with Astrid\'s singing on the television.

I had brought her to the warehouse once already, didn\'t I?

Did he not recognize her?

Drawing Raven\'s attention away from the television, I sat down on the couch before asking.

"You need anything?"

Shaking his head while raising his cup of coffee, Raven gazed back at the television before replying.

"...no, this is perfect, the b-"

Stopping mid-sentence, Raven seemed to have a revelation as he immediately turned to face me.

"wait... why are you being so nice...? What the hell did you do this time???"

Waving my hands up and down to calm the anxious Raven, I smiled and replied.

"Nothing...at least not yet!"

Slowly meeting my eyes, Raven\'s hand trembled, causing some coffee to spill on the floor.

"...so you\'re telling me you know you\'re going to do something that\'s going to cause me a lot of problems."

Nodding my head, I replied.

"Yep."

Putting down the cup of coffee, Raven got up from the couch and replied.

"Here\'s an idea! If you know it\'s going to cause problems... then don\'t do it!"

Getting off the couch as well, I sympathetically tapped Raven on the shoulder and added as I passed by.

" *sigh* In a perfect world, Raven..."

"WHAT TH-"

Ignoring Raven\'s outburst, I headed to the warehouse door with a couple of supplies I had gotten from the painting subspace.

Opening the door, I was surprised to see a familiar figure standing right outside the warehouse, seemingly waiting for me.

Seeing her long blonde hair and light-red eyes sway in the wind as she leaned on the outside of the warehouse, I hesitated for a moment, realizing she hadn\'t noticed me.

Stepping outside the warehouse, I scratched my head before asking.

"...is there something you need, student council president?"

Not at all surprised at my voice, Astrid got off the wall before walking right in front of the door, trying to peek inside the warehouse.

Attempting to block her entrance, I once again asked.

"..hello?"

Finally giving the time of the day, Astrid looked up at me before saying.

"I thought you\'d be here since you didn\'t come back with the others at the front gate."

Confused, I once again asked.

"so...do you need anything?"

Nodding her head, Astrid answered.

"As you know, the student council is responsible for ensuring that the Christmas Wonderland next week is perfect."

Reaching out her hand, Astrid put a piece of paper in my hands.

[Staff Pass - Ren]

"You\'ll be needing one of these."

Looking at the piece of paper in my hands, I hesitated for a moment before sighing.

"You have something else, don\'t you?"

Maintaining her emotionless expression, Astrid replied.

"Do you really think I\'d come all the way out here just to give you a piece of paper?"

Stepping out of the way, I allowed her to walk inside before shortly following behind.

Who cared if she thought the warehouse was dirty!?

It was her decision to come here, not mine; why should I suffer?

However, as she took her first step into the warehouse, I suddenly recalled something.

Grabbing my wrist, I immediately looked at the smartwatch... realizing that the video was still playing.

...

As I disconnected my smartwatch from the television, I heard a loud scream come from inside the warehouse.

"BOSS, WHY THE HELL DID YOU STOP PLAYING IT!?"

"..."

Mustering the courage to look up, I saw Astrid frozen in place, with her gaze locked on the television, which was now blank.

Ah... this isn\'t a good look for me, is it?

Attempting to reconcile the situation, I stepped into the warehouse before pointing at Raven, who was making yet another cup of coffee.

"...he\'s a really big fan."

After a moment of silence, Astrid, continuing to stare at the blank television, replied.

"Give it."

Realizing I had no choice, I hesitantly took the smartwatch off my wrist before handing it over to Astrid.

She was the student council president, after all... I had no chance of winning in a one-on-one duel against her.

Of course, I wouldn\'t die or receive any major injuries as I had countless escape routes from this warehouse...but did I really want my entire warehouse to be destroyed just because of a video?

Scrolling through my smartwatch, Astrid finally moved, taking a seat on one of the stools lying around near the kitchen area.

Heading to the kitchen, where Raven stood with a cup of coffee, I almost collapsed, seeing Raven looking at me with a grin.

Staring at Astrid, who was still scrolling through my smartwatch, Raven curiously asked.

"Boss.. are you guys swapping smartwat-"

"Shut it."

Mumbling about how unfair I was, Raven sat across from Astrid with his cup of coffee in hand.

A couple of seconds later, Zeng also emerged from the closet, proudly brandishing the metallic-colored horns on his hands.

Seeing Astrid pay no attention to Zeng, I sighed in relief.

Maybe... passing him off as a reindeer would work!

Taking a seat on the last stool, I silently took back my smartwatch before once again asking.

"Now, what is it?"
