The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　His gaze fell on his senior's stall, where he saw all sorts of unfinished magic cards, and he finally made up his mind.

　He thought of a gift for Diana!

　"Okay, next up is Rose's."

　Dark racked his brains and, taking advantage of Diana's queue to buy food, simply asked, "Rose, is there anything you want?"

　"Huh?" Rose, who had been pondering with her head down, looked up with a puzzled expression.

　Dark didn't explain, he just said, "Hmm, Christmas... well, I'll think about it myself."

　Rose then smiled slightly, realizing that Dark was preparing Christmas gifts.

　She chuckled softly, "Why are you only starting to think about it now? We could have started preparing before December even arrived."

　"I see," Darke chuckled. "Then can I have a little hope? Is there anything good?"

　Rose blinked and said, "Just you wait and see!"

　"Hmm, what are you talking about?" Diana walked over carrying a paper bag full of bamboo skewers, casually pulled out a few meat skewers, and handed them to Dark and Rose.

　The three of them ate and chatted until night fell.

　……

　The next morning, Saturday.

　Dak got up early to exercise, and after reading the newspaper, he left the castle and went to the traveler's street.

　Last night, when I passed by "Cat Cat Flower Shop", Miss Cat gave me some very good news - the rabbit grass has arrived!

　It is said that the factory behind "Cat Cat Flower Shop" has perfectly solved the defects of rabbit grass and has already achieved mass production capability.

　Considering that bunnies have always been very popular with girls, "Cat Cat Flower Shop" plans to supply a large quantity of bunnies when the first batch of new products arrives, and will promote them together with Christmas.

　Dak then took the opportunity to ask her why she didn't tie up the deer.

　Miss Cat said blankly, "The deer won't pass the review."

　Dak was momentarily stunned.

　……

　Although the traveler's street was sparsely populated in the early morning, there were still some people around.

　When Dak arrived at the "Cat Flower Shop," he even saw two girls squatting in the shop picking out rabbit grass.

　They must be regulars at the "Cat Grass Flower Shop" and probably got the news in advance from Miss Cat.

　Dark glanced at it, and after realizing he didn't recognize it, he walked over and started looking at the rabbit grass.

　Miss Cat seems to have gone out on some business and hasn't returned yet.

　Nearly ten rabbit grasses were placed in the inner part of the room, and their fur color and size were slightly different.

　But each of the rabbit grasses lay quietly by the edge of the small flowerpot, neither running around nor making a sound.

　The two female students seemed to be together; they were petting rabbits and exchanging tips on raising cats.

　One of the senior students was holding a small rabbit that looked like a snowball.

　Another senior student took a fancy to a chubby orange rabbit.

　"The rabbits in this world have such a wide variety of fur colors..."

　Dak sighed inwardly and squatted down in front of a pink fluffy rabbit.

　For some reason, he took a liking to the fluffy little bunny almost at first sight.

　This pink cat-and-rabbit is only about a foot long, with slightly long fur, and is a very beautiful pink color.

　Dak grabbed its front paws, lifted half of its body, and examined it closely.

　Then I noticed that the pink fluffy rabbit's paws were also pink, and its eyes were like rubies.

　He stared into its eyes, and it stared back into his eyes without blinking.

　……

　"It's you! Who told you to be pink?"

　Dak made his choice without thinking for long.

　In fact, to him, white, black, yellow, or red rabbits are all pretty much the same.

　However, his main purpose in buying the rabbit grass was to match "Paradise," so he chose the pink one.

　It can be considered fate.

　He looked at the little rabbit and smiled slightly.

　The pink fluffy rabbit in front of him was completely unaware of its impending doom and continued to stare at Dark without a care in the world.

　"You came."

　Not long after, Miss Cat, who was eating a sugar cake, returned to the shop.

　She spoke to Dak first, but then greeted the two senior students first, and only then did it come to Dak's turn.

　Are you satisfied?

　"good."

　Dak placed the pink fuzzy rabbit on his lap, teasing its three-lobed lips from time to time, or patting its little belly, rediscovering some of the joy he had when he first started raising catnip.

　This pink fuzzy rabbit is actually catnip, not as fragile as a domestic rabbit, and looks very easy to care for.

　Miss Cat took a dozen potions needed for the bunny grass from the cabinet, placed them on the table, calculated the required credits, and casually asked, "What other types of cat grass do you want after that?"

　Dark thought for a moment and said, "Dragon?"

　The one at home is, after all, just a water dragon; it's fine for now. But if the research becomes more detailed, especially after we start targeted refining, it will become quite troublesome.

　What he really wanted was a dragon without any elemental affiliation.

　However, Miss Cat immediately shook her head and said, "I already said it was an accidental product."

　Dak asked again carefully, and when he realized that there was no other way, he thought of another creature—a bear!

　At the same time, looking at the rabbit grass on his knee, he suddenly had a new research idea.

　And after having this idea, he also had a general idea of ​​the Christmas gift to give to Rose.

　"Do you have bears? If it's a cub, it's cute enough. If we could develop one, it would probably sell very well."

　Miss Cat pondered for a moment and then said, "Perhaps it's possible with a bear."

　Darke smiled and said, "Then I'll look forward to it."

　If we can figure it out before next Christmas, then we'll have a gift for that bear for next Christmas.

　……

　Afterwards, Dark took the rabbit grass and left "Cat Grass Flower Shop" and went to "All People Duel Club Branch" to temporarily leave the rabbit grass at the shop.

　Then he went straight to the Goblin Antique Bookstore, thinking he would pick out a few books there to give to the professors.

　Professor Cazell, Professor Sylph, Professor Mitia.

　He couldn't think of anything to give them right now, so he decided to give them some books they might like.

　As for Professor Lily...

　I'll go to Uncle Simmons' tavern again later and see if I can get a good bottle of wine.

　Ok.

　Let's get two bottles.

　One of the bottles was to be delivered by the new maid on her return to the Duke's mansion, as a gift for Aunt Claire.

　With so many people in the Duke's mansion, he couldn't possibly send a gift to everyone. Last year, he only prepared a gift for Alvette, but this year there's one more person.

　In short, the focus is still on the people within the college.

　Eve, Nana, and Josie—their gifts must not be forgotten.

　Eve, in particular, needs to think carefully about her gift.

　Besides them, we also need to prepare gifts for the two senior students from the Fantastic Beasts Club.

　Then, there's Eudora, Doron, Pistan... and maybe Emma too? After all, I gave her a Christmas present last year, so if she's planning to give me one this year, I should reciprocate.

　In addition, there are still a large number of babies in the first grade who are eager to be fed, and the magical elves cannot be left behind.

　Of course, there's also Senior Pandora.

　“…” Dark paused, suddenly feeling a sense of despair as if the sky had fallen.

　Too many! Too many!

　Although it wasn't the first time he'd pondered this matter, when the moment finally arrived, Dark still felt as if he were carrying the weight of an abyss.

　He sighed softly and entered the goblin bookstore.

　That's just how Aquaman is – he's got the self-discipline.

　……

　More than an hour later, Dark Dimon, having failed to find any books, arrived at a small tavern in a corner of Travelers' Street.

　After this semester, he only went to the pub occasionally while shopping, and not very often. But he did develop some friendship with Uncle Simonsie.

　Since last Christmas, when Simmons sent Professor Sylph a bottle of "Green Seed Wine" through Dark's hand, his condition has gradually improved.

　When he came, Dak drank a cup of tea with Uncle Simmons instead of wine. He then excitedly told him that he had asked a certain professor to deliver a gift to Sylph again, and that Professor Sylph hadn't thrown the gift out the window—this excited him for a long time.

　Perhaps Professor Sylph suddenly realized that throwing objects from high places is wrong—Dark didn't voice his thoughts at the time.

　But overall, the relationship between the father and daughter does seem to have eased a little bit.

　And as the culprit who brought this to the fore, Darke finally became somewhat useful in Uncle Simmons' eyes.

　It was around ten o'clock. This time, Simmons wasn't drunk. He set up a stove at the entrance of the tavern, as if he was cooking something.

　As Dak approached, he smelled an extremely strong aroma of wine and suddenly realized what was happening.

　Upon seeing him, Uncle Simmons immediately stood up and said with great delight, "You've finally arrived, kid!"

　Dark felt a chill run down his spine, and a bad feeling suddenly arose in his heart.

　Sure enough, Uncle Simmons immediately brought out a square box from the store, placed it on the table, and it was extremely heavy.

　“What is this?” Dark asked.

　The box is about half a meter tall and is wrapped in gold and red cloth to resemble a gift box.

　Uncle Simmons immediately said, "A gift."

　“I know it’s a gift,” Dark asked curiously. “I mean, what’s inside?”

　Uncle Simmons immediately raised an eyebrow and said disdainfully, "It's not for you, why do you know so much?"

　Dark's eyes darted around, and he asked, "What about mine?"

　Simmons: "..."

　After a long pause, he said, "Wait a moment."

　They then went inside again.

　……

　“That’s more like it. You should always pay someone for doing a favor,” Dark said smugly.

　Then he looked at the gift and began to guess what was inside.

　"Perhaps we could let the 'Goddess of the Heart' take a look?"

　Just as he was hatching his wicked plan, Uncle Simmons finally came out of the tavern, carrying two bottles of wine, one on each side.

　Uncle Simmons probably knew that Dak wouldn't visit unless he had a reason, so this year was the same as last year, except the type of wine had changed.

　He placed the two bottles of wine on the table.
