Chapter 133: Hollow Christmas I

???: "Geez! Are you still working on those?"

Y/N: "Oh, good morning Philia! I uh... I didn't wake you, did I?"

Philia: *yawn* "Nah, I don't think you did. Don't worry about it! But... you didn't answer my question?"

Y/N: "Oh okay, that's good then. And well... yeah, but I'm almost done now!"

Philia: "You were working on those last night too... Did you not get any sleep at all?"

Y/N: "Yeah, but it's no big deal! It's not like it's a foreign concept to me or anything - plus, we have a pretty big number of friends in our little group now. And I didn't want to just make everybody the same thing, otherwise it'd just feel like a uniform!"

Philia: "Wait, you made one for everyone?! That's what you were doing all-night?"

Y/N: "Well... yeah! It's the least I could do after I almost forgot the entire day, right!"

Philia: "Look U/N. You-... *sigh* Never mind, what's done is done I suppose! And it's not like you can actually be stopped once you set your mind to something!"

Y/N: "Philia... You always paint me to be some sort of unstoppable train or something... I mean, when it comes to fighting I can hold my own, but with everything else- it's all thanks to the company I keep that I'm able to accomplish so much. With friends like you, Philia, getting out of this game doesn't seem difficult at all to me!"

Philia: "Seeming not so difficult, and actually it being something you want to do would be two separate things of course! Heehee!"

Y/N: "Yeah, I guess so! But I suppose... when that time comes, everyone else's good moods will be enough to inspire me to want to leave too! And you'll be there with everyone else too, back in Aincrad, like you should be!"

Philia: "U/N... *ahem!* Never mind that! At the very least you've still got at least 20 Floors to enjoy, right? Before the big day and all..."

Y/N: "I guess so, but..."

Philia: "Eh, enough with the sad stuff! We don't have to worry about any of that today! It's Christmas Day after all!"

Y/N: "I... yeah, I guess you're right! So, do you want your gift now? Sorry it's not a surprise, but..."

Philia: "Wait. You made one for me...?"

Y/N: "Of course I did! Why do you think I wouldn't have?"

Philia: "Well... I mean... you were making all of those for the party right? And... it's not like I'll be able to attend it, being stuck in this Hollow Area and all... s-So! It doesn't really make sense as to why you wasted so much time on one for me!"

Y/N: "Philia... It's not time wasted at all! Because, well... it's not like you're going to be alone this Christmas right? I'm here right now aren't I? And I'll be back later too. So, even though it won't be as big a gathering as the one in Aincrad, it'll still be a fun and festive time... b-between friends, right?"

Philia: ". . . You-... You really are something else, aren't you!!"

Y/N: "Hey! At least wait until I've given you your gift before you mock me! Otherwise I'll just keep it to myself!"

Philia: "Hee-hee! You're right, I should wait until you've nothing to lord over me before I poke fun! But, speaking of which, you made something for yourself too, right?"

Y/N: "I mean... sorta? I don't normally wear anything but my normal gear, so I wasn't sure what to do. So I just made a simple red shirt with some white trimming and a pair of black trousers."
