"What you said suddenly became quite dark, for today's children and today's young people, Christmas is not another Valentine's Day."

"Well, but the facts are the facts, children are too naïve to believe that there is a present-giving Santa Claus; Adults use this situation to trick children who are very noisy at Christmas, to make them fall asleep, to be a good child, so that there is a so-called Christmas present. ”

“…………”

Because this legend is beneficial to him, he just uses it, and Sayu thinks it's that simple.

The children believe that Santa Claus is saved for their own gifts; Adults agree that Santa Claus's saving is to make children well-behaved; And it just so happens that Santa Claus fulfills the needs of both.

No matter how the world changes, some things still can't be changed, just like Christmas, there are still children who believe in Santa Claus and look forward to Christmas; There are still adults who identify with Christmas and determine the existence of Santa Claus.

It may be that they heard the conversation between the two people, and the two women walking in front turned around, Lin Xuan's left foot was much better than before, although he still walked a little shaky, but fortunately, with the help of Miss Alice on the side, there was no problem.

Lin Xuan probably doesn't know, but now he is an idol who can perform in the gymnasium next to Tokyo Dome is supporting himself, if you don't sign now, you won't have a chance in the future.

By the way, as for the previous call for action on the otaku, the reward is slowly being delivered, so there is no need for Sasuke to worry.

Even if the other party said this to Sayou, Sayou is not the kind of person who will be alone in a safe position and watch them run around because of their own affairs, so Sayou specially asked if there was anything he could help in the Qiqi River Valley.

It's a pity that all Sayou can do is talk, and you can also see the reliability of this person in Qiqi River Valley from here.

So, what exactly is he approaching him for? Is it because of your reputation? Is it because of your awards? Or is it something else?

He is an action maker. I'm afraid what is needed most is a good team, not Sayou, a single person.

Having said that, Sayu felt that he would be interested in himself, and in addition to the talent he had shown before, it was more of a gamble on the future.

Maybe in the eyes of this person named Qiqi River Valley, Sayu himself is a person to look forward to, a person who can be approached lightly.

Exactly what the conclusion will be is unknown, but Sasuke at least now thinks that maintaining a 'friendly' relationship with the Seven Seven River Valley is a pretty good result.

On the other side, Lin Xuan, one of the two women who stopped and walked side by side with Sayou, was the first to speak.

"Are you talking about Santa Claus? Even though summer hasn't arrived yet, we start talking about winter festivals. It's weird. ”

"It's just a simple chat, do you want me to carry it?"

"I refuse."

"Thank you so much for your patronage."

obviously asked to carry her before, but when it came time to be with others, she became elegant, worthy of Miss Lin Xuan.

"In the past, the company had a project called "Christmas Project", which was a project to create a series of winter songs, and there was an introduction to Santa's origins. It's a pity, though. The plan was scrapped by a car accident of the president. ”

Miss Alice looked at the sky, she changed one hand with a guitar in one hand, and then walked with Lin Xuan's footsteps, which was really gentle.

"Legend has it that Santa Claus appeared in Scandinavia thousands of years ago. It is the god Odin in Norse mythology, who is the god of wisdom, art, and so on. In the cold winter, he rode his eight-legged horse and galloped to the ends of the earth, punishing evil and promoting good, and distributing gifts. Other than that. According to pagan legend, Santa Claus is a descendant of the god Odin. ”

As if I liked the topic very much, after a pause. Miss Alice crooked her long silver hair and wondered if she had forgotten her lines.

Is it strange to be able to memorize complex musical scores, but not the general lines? People are only interested in what they like.

Ah, let out a small exclamation, not knocked down, but remembered what to say.

"And oh, the legend says that Santa Claus was made by the saint. Nikolai came, so Santa Claus is also called St. Nicholas. It is said that he was the bishop of the city of Nyra, Asia Minor, and was revered as a saint after his death, a white-bearded old man in a red robe and a red hat. Every Christmas he came from the north in a deer-pulled sleigh, entered the houses through the chimneys, and hung Christmas gifts in socks on the children's bedside or in front of the stove. So, when Westerners celebrate Christmas, parents put Christmas gifts for their children in socks and hang them on the children's beds on Christmas Eve. The next day, the first thing the children do when they wake up is to look for a gift from Santa Claus at the head of their bed. ”

Interesting, Miss Alice said with a smile.

The Qiqi River Valley on the side smiled bitterly, and he spread out his hands and shrugged his shoulders and said

"I'm sorry, this kid just loves these kinds of stories."

"I'm not a kid anymore, Mr. Rivervalley."

Miss Alice did not seem to like the title, and after refuting it, she added that at the end of the 11th century, religious soldiers from Italy brought back the relics of the saint Nicholas to Italy and built a church in his honor in the port city of Bari. Soon Christians from all over the world came to make a pilgrimage to the saint. These pilgrims bring the story of Saint Nicholas back to their homeland, so the legend of Santa Claus has its own unique character in each country.

However, about the archetype of Santa Claus, that is, St. There are other legends about the man Nikolai.

Although it is much worse than the dark truth of fairy tales, it is also a good story, at least for ordinary people, and it is a happy outcome.

Legend has it that Nicholas was born in the fourth century in the city of Bardala in Asia Minor, to a wealthy family, and his parents were very ardent Catholics, but unfortunately his parents died young. When Nikolai grew up, he donated all his wealth to the poor and poor, and he himself became a monk, dedicated himself to the church, and served the society all his life. Nikolai later became a priest and was promoted to bishop. In his life, he did a lot of charity work, he likes to help the poor in secret, Santa Claus is his later nickname, this name comes from the story of him secretly giving money to help three girls.

Nikolai put three long socks of gold in order to save the three young girls who were about to become slaves, and secretly hung them in front of the windows of the three young girls. They had gold, paid their father's debts, and the third daughter was spared the fate of being maids. The next day was Christmas, and they knew that Nikolai had done a good deed, so they invited him to celebrate and thank him. In the future, every Holy Day, the three girls will tell this story. When the children heard this, they were very envious and hoped that Santa Claus would come and give him a sock gift.

In addition, there is a legend that Santa Claus was originally a prominent red knight when he was young, but this story did not spread, and in the end, everyone knew the most about it. Nikolai's story.

"To put it bluntly, whether it's the origin of Christmas or the expectations of Santa Claus, for those of us who have grown up, those are memories and lies. When you grow up and understand that what you used to expect is a lie, it's better to stay in the state of a child all the time. ”

"Mr. Kawatani's words are a child's speech, what's wrong with growing up? You can understand more things better, and that's what real growth is. ”

"Yes, Miss Alice said so."

"It's right, and I don't want to argue, but it's right down the stairs over there."

Next to a bar, the staircase leading to the basement is obvious, and there are already many people gathered there.

"We're going to go in through another door."

This time, Zuoyou walked up and took Lin Xuan's hand to prevent her from falling in the crowd, and then followed the footsteps of the two people.

As for the meaning of this conversation, Sayou didn't know very well, but one thing he could understand was that so-called happiness would also turn into memories and lies with the passage of time. (To be continued......)
