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

　The gift for Emma should be the cheapest, but it still requires a lot of effort.

　After buying everything he needed, he didn't continue shopping but went back to his dormitory first.

　Because I had so many things in my hands.

　……

　"Hey, Dark, you're back already?"

　Upon entering the tower, Dark encountered Diana and Rose, who were fully armed.

　Although there are still two weekends until Christmas, the girls clearly prefer to prepare in advance.

　Besides, even two weekends combined might not be enough for them to shop around.

　Diana and Rose planned to pick out Christmas gifts while shopping.

　Diana is now quite wealthy and powerful, and her voice has become much louder.

　Dark held up what he was holding to indicate, "I have something else to do."

　Diana had no choice but to swallow the invitation she was about to make: "Oh, okay then."

　Dak returned to his dorm, put the gifts away, washed his hands, and began making apple juice.

　The process of making apple juice is very simple, and the main challenge is the time commitment.

　With the help of the pot, Dak spent the whole morning making it. He added special spices for preservation to the apple juice, sealed it, and finally put it into a gift box and pushed it to the corner.

　"It's done!"

　Dak stood up and suddenly felt very fulfilled.

　He shook his head, packed his things, had lunch at the cafeteria, and then headed to Traveler's Street again.

　The traveler's street was noticeably more crowded in the afternoon, with people laughing and chatting everywhere.

　As Dak savored the approaching holiday atmosphere, he pondered what to buy.

　The type of wine and the type of cat grass have not yet been decided.

　I had absolutely no idea what gift to give my senior.

　Soon after, he arrived at the cat and flower shop and his eyes were immediately drawn to a Ragdoll cat.

　But after petting the cat, he came out empty-handed.

　If I actually send a pot of cat grass back home, my fat cat at home will probably be unhappy.

　"How about we wrap the Crimson Star medal up as a gift..."

　Dak muttered to himself.

　……

　When I returned to the tavern, the door was already ajar.

　Dak pushed open the door and entered, where he met the tavern owner—Uncle Simmons.

　Simmons looked to be in his forties, with long, pointed ears; he was not a fairy, but a male elf.

　Dak never understood what the point of this rarely-opened tavern was.

　But Simmons' brewing skills are genuine; not just anyone can brew such a treasure as Fairy Wine.

　"It's you again, kid?"

　"Uncle, do you still have any fairy wine?"

　Dak glanced inside and, sure enough, there wasn't a single customer.

　Simmons quickly waved his hand and said, "That's all, that's all, I'll drink the rest myself!"

　Setting up a tavern just to sell alcohol to oneself is absolutely brilliant!

　Undeterred, Dak said, "Are there any other wines? I'd like to buy a couple as Christmas gifts."

　Simmons: "Is it that same sage from last time?"

　Dark nodded: "And Professor Lily too."

　Simon paused for a moment, then said, "Wait a minute."

　Then he went inside.

　When he came out, he had three bottles of wine in his hand.

　……

　I'll get some porridge before I continue writing.

Chapter 184 Little Devimon's Life is Without Regret (4k)

　"Here you go, this is the wine you ordered."

　Simmons shook the three bottles of wine in his hand, then placed them on the table one by one.

　"What kinds of wines are these?"

　"Dark asked curiously."

　Simmons chuckled, then picked out a bottle and said, "Take your time. First, this one is 'Morning Dew.'"

　"Morning dew?"

　Dak examined it carefully.

　This wine, named "Morning Dew," is packaged in a transparent bottle. The liquid is pale green, somewhat resembling green apple juice, but clearer and slightly transparent.

　This gives it a dreamlike quality.

　"Stop looking, you won't understand no matter how hard you try," Simmons said nonchalantly. "Anyway, this bottle is for little Lily. Cheng Hui, 1000 credits."

　Dark: "Uh..."

　He instinctively felt that Simmons was joking.

　You should know that he only spent 100 credits to buy the fairy wine here before.

　That's a tenfold increase, who can handle that?

　But Simmons ignored his astonishment and continued picking out a second bottle of wine, saying, "This one is 'Eight Desolations,' and only the Sage of Beasts is worthy of it."

　The so-called "Eight Desolations Wine" is actually a bottle of fiery red liquor!

　Even without opening the bottle, Dac could feel the hidden fire within, something that most wine lovers probably couldn't handle.

　Simmons added, "This bottle of 'Eight Desolations' hasn't found a buyer for many years. Since we've happened to come across it today, consider it a free gift—2000 credits."

　Dark: "Huh?"

　What kind of freebie is this?

　Simmons ignored him, picking up the third bottle and then putting it down again, a hint of tenderness in his eyes: "This third bottle is called 'Green Fruit,' simply a fruit wine made by infusing green fruit."

　The green fruit is a green fruit that is very similar to a plum.

　It tastes sour and sweet, and can be used to brew wine.

　Of these three types of wine, only this green wine is very common and quite inexpensive.

　It would seem out of place to put it with the other two types of wine.

　But that's precisely why it stands out.

　Dak immediately realized that it was the star of the three bottles!

　And sure enough.

　Simmons picked up the green wine and said solemnly, "I know it's hard to earn 3,000 credits in the first year, but if you promise me one thing, these three bottles of wine are all yours."

　Dark asked curiously, "Explain yourself first."

　Simmons tapped his middle finger lightly and said, "Since you're going to bring wine to the two professors, it's only natural to add one more, right?"

　……

　As Dak left the tavern, he hesitated, wanting to say something but then stopping himself.

　"Never mind, I'll just consider it a favor."

　He then took the three bottles of wine and walked into the street.

　Wine alone is not enough; it must be accompanied by a gift box for holding the wine, and each gift box must also contain a Christmas card.

　Dak wandered around Traveler's Street for ages before finally finding a suitable gift box to hold the wine.

　After that, he went to the candy store and bought thirty-six chocolate gift boxes.

　In order to bring these chocolates back, Dark had to summon Gatomon for help.

　He finally made it back to his dormitory before dusk.

　A huge number of gifts were piled up in the corner like a small mountain.

　He carefully packaged the three bottles of wine in his dormitory and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

　"Next, only the gifts for my mother and senior are left."

　Dak thought about it for a moment.

　He simply sat down and wrote a letter home to Aylvie.

　The first time away from home, the kindness of the professors, the friendship of the classmates, the intense and fulfilling college life, the thirst and longing for knowledge, the thrill and excitement of the Luna incident, and the smiles and joy of the first duel.

　And, the daily routine of raising catnip.

　Finally, a Crimson Star medal will be included as a bonus.

　The most precious gift for a mother is that it is completed.

　……

　"In the end, only Senior Pandora was left."

　What does she like? What does she need?

　“…” Dark suddenly realized that he really knew nothing about his senior.

　They pay special attention to it simply because of their preference for its appearance.

　They're no different from those shallow nobles with their heads full of fat.

　"Let me think about it, let me think about it."

　"Fourth year, Magic Academy, top of the class, excellent grades, part-time librarian... owns a chinchilla..."

　"That's all?"

　Dak leaned back in his chair and stared blankly for a while.

　The initial reason for the deal with my senior was that she promised to guide me in crafting the "Fusion" magic card.

　But in reality, during these two weeks of free time, Dark spent almost all of it learning the prerequisites for crafting "Zoo" magic cards, and he hadn't even finished learning them yet.

　As a result, the research on "Cursed Cage" and "Fusion" was naturally put on hold.

　The good news is that "Advanced Magic Language: The Resurrected Characters" is also within the scope of my current studies.

　Therefore, his mastery of magical language deepened day by day, which was beneficial to the crafting of "Curse Cage" and "Fusion".

　"Fusion isn't an option for now, but the Cursed Cage is something we can try."

　"Also, since we have some free time, we can refine one or two first-tier magical spirits to fill out the deck."

　"Tomorrow is Sunday, so let's use the whole evening to prepare!"

　"As for the gift for my senior... I wonder if she'll be free next week?"

　……

　Once a decision is made, Darke demonstrates a formidable drive to act.

　That evening, he first reviewed the steps for making the "Curse Cage" and then identified and familiarized himself with the various materials that had been prepared.

　Finally, and most importantly, you must rely on your own understanding to write your own unique spell using the language of magic!
