”So, say ye again; when will they be arriving?” Hiroi asked as she helped herself to a glass of wine from the buffet table.
“It shouldn’t be long now; I’ll bet you’re quite excited, though” Narrisha said teasingly, placing a blue-wrapped present under the table in the dining hall, as they still waited for Faris and Mirinda to return from the nearby forest with the Christmas tree.
“Narrisha, I honestly feel…well, naked in this attire…” Innoki said as she appeared from the kitchen; she was clad in the same red Christmas undergarments as Narrisha and Hiroi, the white and fluffy fur serving as trims not helping as for decoration.
“Aw, c’mon; you look cute in it” Hiroi teased, Innoki not able to hold back a small giggle; naked or not, she adjusted her top slightly, only to have one of her breasts pop out of it, Hiroi's eyes constantly watching the bouncing breasts as her mouth opened in a perverted grin.
"Don't get any ideas, Hiroi...please?" Innoki asked, knowing all too well that Hiroi had a certain fetish for bouncing breasts.
"I can't promise anything; maybe you'll be my little Christmas snack later tonight" Hiroi teased, slurping her tongue around her lips.
"Goddess help me..." Innoki sighed, smiling at Hiroi; she was, and would always be, a real pain in the panties.
Meanwhile, in another part of the manor, Chinyi simply could not sit still for a split of a nano-second, storming from room to room, her cheer for the coming Christmas all too obvious.
“Merry Christmas, sis!” she smiled broadly, storming into her sister Minyoki’s room, hugging her still waking sister; her response was at first a long yawn, followed by a lazy smirk as she patted Chinyi’s head.
“’Morning, you silly chibi, you; can you tell I’ll be down in tick? I gotta get formally dressed and all that crap” Minyoki asked, slowly getting up, her hair and sleepwear rather messy.
“Sure thing; I gotta run a lot of errands today, anyway” Chinyi nodded, teasingly curtsied and ran out the door.
“Fuck, what in Varran did she drink last night?” Minyoki chuckled to herself, remembering it to be the morning of Christmas; presents, good food, holiday cheer, decorations, and a much anticipated visit from two certain little angels came to her mind, making her giggle in glee as she went over to her wardrobe, finding herself different dresses and gowns to choose from.
“3-2, Allisia! Not that you’ll get it any higher!” Ukuni grinned, seeing the blue-haired warrior girl pound the basketball down the hoop one more time; since seven o’ clock in the morning, she and Allisia had been down in the manor’s small sports hall, their training clothes already soaked sweaty after almost an hour’s constant practice of gym exercises and now basketball.
“Oh, at that you are as right as can be, little Ukuni...” Allisia said, a smile creeping over her lips; “...for we’d better go upstairs and get changed; we don’t know how soon our guests will arrive.”
Looking slightly disappointed with her defeat, Ukuni tossed the basketball into a nearby empty bin, the ball hitting perfectly in place.
“Does that count as a score?” Ukuni smirked at Allisia, the warrior girl simply patting her shoulder.
“Not really, but I’m sure this will” Allisia smiled, placing a quick kiss on Ukuni’s cheek, making her blush slightly.
“Hey! No fair! I wasn’t ready!” she joked, grabbing around Allisia’s neck, playfully returning the kiss to the warrior girl, much to her pleasant surprise.
“I suppose I have to watch out for the mistletoes, don’t I?” she smiled as Ukuni let go.
“Well, kinda; here at Nightwind Manor, you don’t just kiss the lucky girl standing under it...” Ukuni said as her hands slowly sneaked up to Allisia’s breasts; “...you molest her until she can’t resist anymore!”
“Now that’s hardly fair...” Allisia said, slowly removing Ukuni’s hands, locking one of them in a grip as she now smilingly faced the younger girl; “...I might very well exhaust you before you can even begin.”
“Wanna bet, Miss Metal?” Ukuni joked, Allisia chuckling as she had always found that nickname amusing.
“Come on, I really need a wash before I can show myself again” she said, heading for the locker room and began stepping out of her messy training clothes.
“Wow, you can really see you’ve worked out” Ukuni blushed and smiled at Allisia, who could not help but be amused; as she found her own locker, she grabbed a towel, shampoo and perfume before heading for the showers.
“Does she even realize how huge her boobs has grown?! Gods, she’s almost as big as Mirinda...” Ukuni caught herself thinking, smiling to herself as she followed Allisia, her own towel and perfume already in the showers after the last time she had used it.
“Catgirls raining down, they’re quite something to see; when I watch them play around , I’d wish they’d make love to me!” Chinyi sang her own version of ‘Jingle Bells’ as her, Siriki and Gloris were busy decorating the dining hall; liking the song, Siriki joined in the chorus, Gloris simply chuckling at the two pranksters’ silliness.
“We’d better hurry up; Faris and Mirinda will properly be back anytime, now” Siriki said, placing a golden star over the white Christmas banner Chinyi had hung up.
“I’d have to grow wings if I’m to reach all the way up there...” Siriki sighed, as not even the ladder she stood on was high enough to reach the banner.
“Someone said wings?” a voice now asked; soaring into the room, Jiraz the succubus appeared, keeping herself hovering in a steady pace by flapping her wings slowly up and down.
“Come here, Siriki; it’ll go faster this way” Jiraz said as Siriki handed her the star along with a few other decorations; now lifting herself up by her flaps, Jiraz quickly hang the decorations up, although she at a time dropped a small glass orb.
“Whoops; sorry down there” she apologised, Gloris tossing the orb back up to her as she caught it in her left hand.
“Say, Chinyi; how did you get up here in the first place?” Jiraz asked as she hovered around the ledges.
“Narrisha lifted me up; just kinda too bad when she couldn’t stick around to when I was going down” Chinyi explained, placing the final, blue glass orb on the ledge.
“All aboard” Jiraz joked, Chinyi sitting up on the succubus’ back; quickly descending, Jiraz had no problem carrying the young girl all the way down.
“If I’d known if we were to carry this bloody tree all the way back, I’d brought a sleigh!” Faris complained as she and Mirinda carried the top and bottom of a loveable pine tree.
“I’m still sad we had to cut down the tree in the first place...” Mirinda said, her elven nature strictly against any violation of nature’s graces.
“Look, blondie, that tree wasn’t gonna save a future village or be vital in some kinda warfare; it’s for Christmas decoration, not Greenpeace preservation” Faris mumbled; the snow quickly making its way even through her studded white leather boots.
“But it was a crime against nature, nonetheless; Gods, I will have to pray Shinris for forgiveness for this...” Mirinda kept whimpering, enough to make Faris roll her eyes.
“You bleeping pointy-ear; if it’s a comfort...” she said, slightly grinning; “...I’ve planted a new seed I took from the garden; with any luck, a new pine will sprout sometimes in the summer.”
“You...you knew how much I liked nature all along and thus you planted a replacement?” Mirinda asked surprised.
“Yep; wasn’t that hard, though” Faris smirked to herself.
“If I wasn’t holding a half tree I’d hug you for that, Faris” Mirinda giggled, Faris slightly blushing and smiling.
“It was nothing, blondie; let’s get this tree back up the stairs, now” Faris said as they had reached the manor’s front door; their boots soaked and their bodies as if frozen despite their heavy winter coats, Mirinda and Faris were nonetheless glad they had found a decent tree.
“Hmm, we’d better add a slight spoonful more salt; it brings the flavour to it” Breeze suggested, the griffon walking around the kitchen of the manor, helping out the best she could to the kitchen staff.
“But it only says a half spoonful, Breeze; it’d risk ruining it” a girl said, not really wanting to risk the Christmas feast.
“Say, why don’t you pour some of it in a bowl and let us taste it? We will know better that way” Breeze suggested, the girl nodding as she reached for a shelf, getting a small glass bowl.
“You better go first, lass; I’m not sure you want feathers in your soup” Breeze partly joked, the girl giggling as she added the extra spoonful to the bowl followed by the slight sip of the soup.
“Round and round, it goes...” Breeze commented as the girl began twirling the soup around with a spoon, taking a small sip of it.
“Well?” Breeze asked, the girl carefully tasting it.
“It’s good, almost better with the more spicy side” the girl nodded; “how’d you know so much about cooking?”
“Well, I learn from my mistresses; they’re excellent cooks when it comes down to it” Breeze nodded, carefully leaning her massive beak over the ever so small bowl, slowly sneaking her long, thin pink tongue down into the soup, having a quick slurp.
“By my tail, this is excellent! Want to have vote go about as for which to choose?” Breeze asked.
“Nah, yours' even better than the receipt in the book” the girl smiled, Breeze pleasantly bowing her head as low as she could.
“Merry Christmas, Nightwind Manor!” Jiki greeted as she, followed by Kiro, entered through a Mystic Portal, the two girlfriends very much impressed with the manor’s decorations.
“Wow! You’re Jiki and Kiro? Gods, you’re right out taken from a top-class shoujo-ai doujin!” Minyoki commented cheerfully, surprised to see Jiki and Kiro giggle at her and the other girls.
“Actually we understood what she said” Kiro said, Minyoki feeling very embarrassed, but a look at Jiki and Kiro told her she did not need to worry.
“So...” Narrisha said, smirking; “...it’s time to Christmas party in Night Manor style!”
