NOVEL NEXT DLK— 2
Daily Life of Nik (DLK)— NIk's Naughty List-2
Tired was an apt word to describe Nik's current mood. Nik was slightly tired of the insecure gazes of the men of the market when their gazes fell on his holy form. White-colored beard, red hat, and stuffed tummy. If Nik was the prime candidate to be awarded as the youth with the highest probability of being called— Daddy— by the girls of the market, then his current form literally made him the most popular figure in the market at the moment. All Nik had to do was sit on a grand chair and let girls sit on his laps.
"Sweetie, we shouldn't let her sit on his laps."
Manabu's father whispered hastily as Manabu's little cousin walked over to Nik and jumped on his laps. Meanwhile, Manabu's mother simply rolled her eyes and shoved her husband's face away. It took a dirty mind to think of dirty stuff about kids and if her husband was willing to accuse someone about finding little kids arousing then he himself wasn't above the concept.
"Ho ho ho! What do you want for Christmas, little angel?"
Nik's voice rumbled with a thick accent. His eyes showered the little girl with warmth and care as she looked at him with a rather dispassionate gaze— Truth, she replied.
"Eh?"
Nik's expression froze as Megumi, witnessing everything from the entry of her shop held her laughter. She and Yuuko stood together. They wore a similar red sweater and white pants and their charm attracted many as they distributed multiple brochures. A long line of children was assembled in front of Nik while the parents and other customers were more than pleased with the decoration of the shopping district.
"Ho-ho! Little pie, I don't understand what you mean. But I have a special toy here—" To attract the customers to their shopping district, every shop chipped in and bought multiple toys to be given out to kids. Manabu was beside Nik and recording the entire spectacle to store his little cousin's childhood memories.
Nik wished he wouldn't.
"Honesty, mister! Are you really Santa?"
The little girl spoke fiercely. Nik could deal with any and every adversary including a hormone-induced Mitsuko. But the little girl's glare happened to be Nik's weakness. The L.u.s.t Apostle gulped and rubbed his wavy beard, trying to gain confidence in his costume.
"Ehm, of course, I am Santa. I brought presents for you."
Nik picked a present closest to him only to find the little girl breaking into tears.
"You are not the real Santa! He would have asked me if I was naughty or nice!"
'I can't ask any of this to little girl!!!' Nik roared internally as he, too, felt like crying. This girl was making it impossible for Nik. Manabu, on the other hand, finally came to his little cousin and smiled kindly, "Hey, he is the real Santa... look at all the kids waiting for him."
Manabu pointed at the kids waiting in line as the little girl finally cried, "Lies! You are lying to all of us! He isn't the real Santa!"
She yelled and started pulling on Nik's bears as Nik tried to do something to placate her. But she just wouldn't budge and if Nik tried to force her away, she might get hurt. Manabu was in the same situation. He had just agreed to take care of his little cousin because his aunt would usually get drunk by the afternoon of Christmas. The commotion finally started to irritate the other kids waiting in line and they soon started to cry.
It was as if the kids crying were a chain reaction!
Finally, a few discontent shopkeepers decided to confront Yuuko about the situation since Nik was her employee. With a curious Megumi, Yuuko arrived at the scene of Nik trying to save his beard from falling while a little girl latched onto it and cried as if her life depended on it.
"What's going on?"
Yuuko asked as all the parents were already leaving with their teary-eyed kids.
"Ah! Yuuko-san! It's my cousin. She just got an earful from my aunt and now she is aking her anger out on Nik-san."
Manabu explained hastily as Megumi couldn't help but smile when she gazed at Nik's panicked expression.
[Hehe, so you can't handle kids but are more than willing to make one?]
Megumi still felt a little salty when she came to know that Nik was going to have a kid with Mitsuko. She didn't enjoy the notion but she had already moved on... not ahead enough to stop mocking Nik whenever she got the chance.
Nik decided to not reply to Megumi. His fricking beard was going to fall off!!!"
"Uwaaaa! All of you are liars! You all lie! Just like mom!"
She cried as Megumi pursed her lips and then gazed at Maa-kun, who was still jumping around without any idea and then her mother, who felt equally helpless.
"Mom, I'll handle this. Maa-kun! Will you help mom with distributing these?"
She handed out the brochures and Manabu nodded.
"Are you sure?"
Yuuko asked once again. A child's outburst would be placated after a few minutes so there really wasn't any need for them to step in until the kid had quietened down.
"I won't feel good keeping Nik in such a situation for long."
Yuuko nodded and then looked at Nik's direction once last time before walking away. Megumi, on the other hand, walked closer to Nik and leaned down before hugging the girl from behind.
[Sigh.. you are such a dumbo. Didn't you say you can create illusions?]
Megumi sent her words while grinning on the outside and whispering, "Hush, he is the real Santa, ya' know!"
Nik did not know how Megumi untangled the kid out of his beard but he was grateful nonetheless. Megumi's suggestion still failed to give Nik any idea.
With a wide smile, Megumi turned on her heels and presented her wide h.i.p.s wrapped by a pair of tight jeans and descended on Nik's lap with a comfortable 'Oomph'.
"Lies... I wanted to see Rudolph... Mom lied to me..."
The girl continued sobbing under Megumi's embrace as she looked back and presented a beautiful smile to Nik.
"Don't tell me you cannot bring Rudolph here, Santa?"
She spoke loud enough for Manabu's cousin to hear while Nik finally understood what Megumi was implying and let his pheromones flood the shopping district and pulled Megumi and Manabu's cousin into an illusion,
"Woah~ Look at that!"
Megumi yelped and pushed her butt against Nik further while smiling secretly and finally made Manabu's cousin open her eyes. The little girl's eyes instantly brightened as she parted her mouth in amazement.
"Ho ho ho! Girl, have you been naughty or nice?"
Nik laughed loudly and patted Megumi's thighs while blowing against her neck hotly.
"NICEEEE!"
She screamed with a giggle. As Nik nodded. The three of them alongside the chair were on a snow-covered mountain with the dark sky adorned with a kaleidoscopic aurora. With a thought, the snow near their feet swirled in the air and transformed into a grandeur deer with thick branching horns and a cute nuzzling face.
The girl's expression grew brighter as she started jumping up and down while in Megumi's embrace and in return, made Megumi rock against Nik.
"So?" Nik grazed his palms against Megumi's thighs and asked softly, "Were you naughty or nice, girl?"
Megumi blushed. The tables were turned. She was feeling incomparably wrong and hot. After all, she had a child in her embrace but she could only focus on the outline of Nik's c.o.c.k pressed against her warm butt.
"Nice..."
She whispered as Nik leaned down and pulled her sweater from the back of her neck and planted a hot kiss on the nape of her neck, "Good," Nik whispered and finally made the little girl feel slightly dizzy and brought her out of the illusion.
They were once again in the shopping district. Only an instant had passed as Megumi hastily stood up with a giggling little girl.
"See? This Santa is real."
Megumi smiled and let the girl down as she nodded with a bright smile.
"Mmgh, yeah! Thanks, Santa! Next year, I want to have a big lion! I promise I will be good."
She grinned and ran towards Manabu while Megumi quickly made her way towards Yuuko.
[I was wrong... you'll make a wonderful dad.]
Nik's smile only grew brighter. Of course, he would. Practice makes the man perfect and he will have enough kids to write a proper guideline on parentage!
