Lanci could only console Toriyado and wave to the other Great Demon Clan members.
"Let's go!"
"We're not locking the doors anymore."
"Tonight, everyone should come to the courtyard to light lanterns and set off fireworks together."
The Great Demon Clan members gradually walked out of the mansion from the entrance, bidding their farewells as they left.
The lively dining and guest room fell quiet once again.
Outside the window, the courtyard was blanketed in snow, shimmering in its silver-white glory. A towering fir tree stood in the center of the yard, its branches adorned with glistening ice crystals that refracted rainbow-like rays of light.
"Lanci, you're such a freak. How on earth can you focus on working overtime when everyone else is out having fun?"
Toriyado gazed at the misty window, his heart full of longing to go outside and enjoy himself.
