Part 1

---------

The last month of the year...

The month of December...

The time when...

Tsuruno: It's Christmas!

Iroha: Wow!

Iroha: ...What's got you so excited all of a sudden?

Tsuruno: Christmas, Iroha-chan!

Iroha: But December has only just begun.

Tsuruno: The streets are already filled with decorations!

Yachiyo: What's going on? Why are you being so loud...

Felicia: Ah, it's Tsuruno.

Tsuruno: That's right! Did you guys see the big tree in the shopping district?

Yachiyo: Ah, the annual Christmas tree.

Tsuruno: And now that I saw it! It feels! Like Christmas!

Tsuruno: I'm getting so excited!

Felicia: ...Meh. Whatever.

Yachiyo: Isn't it a bit too soon for that?

Tsuruno: I just can't contain my excitement!

???: Christmas...

Tsuruno: ...Eh? Did someone say something?

???: ...That...

Sana: was me...

Tsuruno: Wow! I didn't see you back there!

Iroha: Sana-chan got here a little while ago.

Tsuruno: ...Umm...

Tsuruno: ...She's like a ninja...!

Sana: I-I'm sorry...

Tsuruno: Don't worry, Sana-chan! It's Christmas!

Sana: ...Sigh...

Iroha: ...Sana-chan, what's wrong...?

Sana: ...Ah, i-it's nothing...!

Iroha: ...You sure?

Sana: ...

Sana: ...No, it's just that...

Sana: I don't really understand Christmas...

Sana: I don't really understand Christmas...

Iroha: You don't understand it...?

Tsuruno: ...Eh? What do you mean?

Sana: It's just that... I've never experienced it properly.

Sana: Christmas as a special event...

Tsuruno: As an event...?

Sana: It's... supposed to be a feeling of celebration, is it not?

Sana: But I never felt anything like that at home...

Iroha: Ah...

Yachiyo: ...I see.

Sana: Yes...

Sana: My father wanted me to study instead of wasting my time with things like that...

Tsuruno: Uhh!

Felicia: Wasting time, hah...!

Tsuruno: Shut it!

Sana: I understand the concept, but...

Sana: But I've never experienced the spirit of Christmas...

Sana: So I don't feel too excited...

Iroha: I see now...

Tsuruno: How about when you were in kindergarten? The Christmas parties there and such!

Sana: I... wonder why I feel the way I do...

Sana: But I used to participate without saying anything...

Felicia: Well, it's not like Christmas is a big deal anyway.

Sana: Eh?

Felicia: It's just a time to eat and be loud! ...That's all you gotta feel~

Tsuruno: T-That's not it! What are you saying...

Tsuruno: Is that... all you think about the festival? That's not right!

Felicia: Is it not about eating and being loud?

Tsuruno: W-What I mean is...!

Yachiyo: Isn't it nice just being able to eat and be loud?

Tsuruno: Eh?

Yachiyo: Anyway...

Yachiyo: So you have never celebrated Christmas, Futaba-san?

Sana: Right...

Yachiyo: ...Then it's important that you get to experience that.

Yachiyo: ...Alright, I've made a decision...

Iroha: A decision?

Felicia: What decision?

Yachiyo: I want Futaba-san to experience the spirit of Christmas...

Yachiyo: So let's have a Christmas party...!

Iroha: A Christmas...

Everyone: ...Party?!

Felicia: ...Can't we do something else? I don't want a party...

Felicia: It's... just that... it's annoying!

Yachiyo: ...Oh? You don't want to have a party?

Yachiyo: If it's about "eating and being loud", there's gonna be stuff to "eat"...

Felicia: Uu!

Yachiyo: Obviously, we can't have a party without a feast.

Felicia: Uuu!

Yachiyo: Well? Do you still think it's annoying?

Felicia: Uuuu!

Felicia: It's... not that annoying...

Yachiyo: ...And you, Futaba-san?

Sana: I, I, i-if you want...

Iroha: ...Let's do it, Sana-chan! It's going to be fun!

Sana: Eh...

Sana: ...Y-Yes..

Yachiyo: It's decided.

Yachiyo: We will have a party right here!

Tsuruno: Yay! A Christmas party!

---------

Part 2

---------

Yachiyo proposed the idea of having a Christmas party...

And we all got together for a meeting...

Yachiyo: ...

Yachiyo: ...And why are you all here?

Momoko: ...Because Iroha-chan invited me.

Rena: Same here.

Kaede: Yes... hello~...

Yachiyo: Tamaki-san...

Iroha: W-Well, the more the merrier...!

Yachiyo: ...

Yachiyo: ...Well, I don't really mind...

Momoko: ...I only came... because Iroha-chan invited me...

Rena: ...So, now what?

Iroha: Eh?

Rena: The Christmas party.

Yachiyo: Right.

Momoko: So blunt...

Yachiyo: Well...

Yachiyo: We're going to have educational Christmas activities...

Kaede: So... soon?

Rena: What, but why!

Sana: ...

Iroha: O-Oh, actually it's for...

Momoko: That's right... It's for Sana-chan...

Kaede: Uuu... Sana-chan... For her...

Rena: ...

Sana: Um... but doing all this for me...

Yachiyo: Don't you worry about it.

Yachiyo: ...This house...

Yachiyo: Didn't I tell you that this place, "Mikazuki", used to be a boarding house?

Iroha: Yes...

Yachiyo: We used to celebrate Christmas with the previous residents.

Yachiyo: Now you are the residents...

Yachiyo: And we'll celebrate just like how we used to.

Yachiyo: ...This tradition now belongs to you...

Yachiyo: I would like to maintain that tradition.

Rena: But that's why Rena...!

Kaede: Rena-chaaaan!

Rena: W-What, Kaede!

Kaede: Let's celebrate! With everyone!

Kaede: Let's celebrate Christmas with Sana-chan!

Kaede: Christmas this year should be all about Sana-chan! Don't you agree?

Rena: (What a strange turn of events...) [1]

Kaede: ...But it might have been rude saying that. Sorry, Sana-chan...

Sana: N-No, not at all...!

Kaede: I'd really like to celebrate Christmas with all of you...

Rena: Kaede...

Momoko: ...I agree with you.

Rena: Y-You too, Momoko?!

Momoko: Then let's gooo, party!

Momoko: Right? For Sana-chan!

Rena: ...I guess? Momoko...

Momoko: Don't make a fuss.

Momoko: I know that Rena really wants to do this, right?

Momoko: Ain't that right? Huh huh!

Rena: Hold on!

Rena: (...A party...)

Rena: ...

Rena: F-Fine! I'll participate!

Tsuruno: Okay!

Felicia: I'll join in too because I'm the best!

Iroha: That's great! Sana-chan!

Sana: ...Y-Yes...

Momoko: So, what are we doing exactly?

Yachiyo: Well... first of all...

[1]: Don't know about this line. She says something about a "switch"?

---------

Part 3

---------

Yachiyo: Well... first of all...

Yachiyo: Let's divide the roles.

Kaede: Divide... the roles?

Yachiyo: Everyone contributes to the party... That's part of the tradition of this house.

Tsuruno: Ah! I see! Then I will bring the food!

Felicia: Er...! Tsuruno's food... but!

Tsuruno: ...What...

Tsuruno: We'll eat chinese for Christmas!

Felicia: But why~ We eat your food every day!

Tsuruno: It will not be the same food as always!

Felicia: But why!

Tsuruno: Because I am...

Tsuruno: ...creating a Christmas menu for our restaurant!

Tsuruno: It will be completely different in taste than our regular menu!

Felicia: You sure~...?

Tsuruno: Of course! Leave it to me! Fun fun!

Yachiyo: Then, if you'd be so kind, Tsuruno.

Tsuruno: Understood!

Momoko: ...Nn~...

Kaede: What's wrong, Momoko-chan?

Momoko: ...Could you let me take care of the cake?

Yachiyo: Do you have it sorted already?

Momoko: Well, kinda...

Momoko: Rena, Kaede... And Iroha-chan!

Momoko: Could you three give me a hand?

Rena: What, are we gonna make a homemade cake?

Momoko: Heehee... Well, I'll explain everything later!

Yachiyo: In that case, it'd be much appreciated, Momoko.

Yachiyo: Futaba-san, Felicia, could you two please handle the decorations?

Sana: Y-Yes!

Felicia: Eh~! What a drag~...

Iroha: Come on, tasty food awaits!

Felicia: But Tsuruno's chinese food is not that tasty~!

Tsuruno: Hey!

Momoko: There's gonna be cake too!

Tsuruno: You too!

Felicia: ...I'm not convinced...

Tsuruno: What are you gonna do, Yachiyo?

Yachiyo: I will...

Yachiyo: be your producer...!

Kaede: Producer?!

Rena: What, don't use that title!

Yachiyo: ...Why...

Yachiyo: The person who's organising the party can call herself whatever she wants.

Yachiyo: The party will be in my house, and I'm making the arrangements.

Yachiyo: ...I'm like a sort of handyperson.

Momoko: I mean, so you are just someone who delegates...?

Yachiyo: You can call me whatever you want.

Tsuruno: Someone who delegates... You're like...

Tsuruno: The governor of our party! [1]

Iroha: (...I don't really understand that analogy...)

Tsuruno: Alright, it's time! Governor!

Yachiyo: Well, I did say you could call me whatever you want...

Yachiyo: Anyway, if you'd be so kind, everyone...!

And so we began the preparations for our party...!

And the date of the event... is December 24th!

[1]: She calls her a Bugyō: "commissioner", "magistrate" or "governor", according to wikipedia.

---------

Part 4

---------

To prepare for the Christmas party, we each set out to do our jobs.

Momoko-san, Rena-chan, Kaede-chan and I are in charge of the cake!

...However...

Kaede: Momoko-chan, you know the owners of this cake shop, right?

Momoko: Yes! Well, they are distant relatives, but...

Momoko: The owner of the shop asked me to do this a while ago.

Momoko: Said they'd give us a cake if we helped them out.

Momoko: Isn't it a good way to contribute to the party?

Kaede: It was the perfect timing!

Momoko: Wasn't it just!

Rena: Of course it wasn't!

Iroha: Yeah, that's right~!

Momoko: Oh, but the costumes really suit you two!

Rena: It does not suit me!

Kaede: That's not true!

Iroha: T-This is embarrassing...

Rena: Why is Rena wearing this thing!

Momoko: Well, it certainly wouldn't suit me, right?

Momoko: And Kaede~... impossible.

Kaede: Yes, impossible...

Momoko: Besides, the size is perfect for you!

Rena: It is not perfect! It's a bit too...

Kaede: ...*stare*

Rena: Kaede! Don't you stare at me!

Kaede: ...Rena-chan.

Rena: What...?

Kaede: ...Your chest is spilling out!

Rena: Wha...! Idiot! Stop that!

Momoko: Iroha-chan also looks dashing!

Iroha: Uuu~...

Rena: ...That's it! Rena's going home!

Kaede: Rena-chan!

Momoko: Wait a moment!

Momoko: If you do this, we'll get free cake!

Momoko: I'm begging you! OK? It's for Sana-chan!

Iroha: (...Sana-chan...)

Iroha: ...I understand. I'll do my best!

Rena: Hey, hold on...!

Iroha: Let's both do out best, Rena-chan!

Momoko: *stare*...

Kaede: *stare*...

Rena: ...Now the two of them are staring at me!

Rena: ...

Rena: Ah, fine! I'll do it!

Momoko: Alright! Then let's do this!

---------

Part 5

---------

Rena-chan and I donned our Santa costumes and advertised for the cake shop...

Even though it's embarrassing...

This is for Sana-chan...!

Momoko: Listen, Christmas cakes are on sale here!

Kaede: Cakes, you say~? [1]

Iroha: ...

Rena: ...

Momoko: The cakes are delicious!

Kaede: Cakes, you say~?

Iroha: ...

Rena: ...

Momoko: Hey! Rena! Iroha-chan!

Iroha: Y-Yes...!

Rena: W-What!

Momoko: You've gotta make your voices heard! Ya know?

Iroha: ...Yes...

Rena: ...Rena knows that!

Momoko: Well, why aren't you saying anything?

Momoko: Christmas cakes are on sale here!

Kaede: Cakes, you say~?

Iroha: C-Cakes... you... say?

Rena: Cakes... you...?

Momoko: No, hold on, hold on!

Momoko: ...That's not good enough. That's embarrassing...

Iroha: I'm sorry...

Rena: Whatever, R-Rena is...

Momoko: It's embarrassing!

Rena: ...

Momoko: ...Alright. What's wrong now...?

Kaede: ...

Kaede: ...It can't be helped...

Momoko: Hm?

Kaede: ...I'll take care of it. Leave it to me...!

[1] It's not quite what she's saying, but the gist is that they're doing a skit to attract customers.

---------

Part 6

---------

Kaede: ...I'll take care of it. Leave it to me...!

Momoko: Kaede?!

Rena: What are you saying...

Kaede: Listen, Rena-chan...

Kaede: You were helping out at a friend's flower shop, weren't you...?

Kaede: Actually! You were there a while ago...!

Kaede: Right! For the Christmas sales...!

Kaede: So...

Kaede: You're a veteran when it comes to advertising for Christmas!

Rena: ...Huh?

Kaede: And another thing to keep in mind...

Kaede: Rena-chan is Iroha-chan's senpai!

Rena: What...!

Iroha: My senpai...?!

Momoko: (I see what she's doing~...)

Kaede: So you see, that makes you doubly responsible!

Kaede: And with that said... my job here is done!

Rena: W-What! What's with that...!

Momoko: You are pretty experienced, aren't you?

Rena: But saying that...!

Kaede: Isn't it true? Because in the advertising industry...

Iroha: (To say those things so sudddenly...!)

Kaede: First of all, you need to have the courage to throw yourself at the customers!

Rena: Wha- Courage...?!

Kaede: But...

Kaede: Right now... I see that Rena-chan...

Kaede: ...is not displaying an ounce of that courage!

Rena: Dammit...!

Kaede: That's why she can't raise her voice!

Rena: I don't see you doing much, Kaede!

Kaede: I was holding back on purpose to make the two of you look good...

Kaede: It's true... I can do much more than this!

Iroha: Ah, really?

Kaede: Yup! Leave it to me!

Kaede: ...However~ Rena Santa-san's heart is not in it~...

Kaede: The only voice I'm hearing right now is mine~...

Rena: ...Ugh!

Rena: ...Don't give me that! All you were doing was staring at me!

Kaede: Cakes, you say~...?

Rena: Uuuuuuuuu...!

Rena: ...Ah, I'll do it! Watch this! Kaede!

---------

Part 7

---------

Rena: Uuuuuuuuu...!

Rena: ...Ah, I'll do it! Watch this! Kaede!

Rena: Here I go! Iroha!

Iroha: Y-Yes!

Rena: The cakes are on sale here!

Iroha: C-Cakes are on sale here!

Kaede: Right!

Rena: They're really sweet and tasty!

Iroha: They're delicious!

Kaede: That's right~!

Rena: How about buying a cake for Christmas!

Iroha: Buy a cake for Christmas!

Kaede: That's how you do it!

Momoko: (Rena's advertising is on point...)

Momoko: ...And Kaede was...

Kaede: Hm? What's wrong, Momoko-chan?

Momoko: I hadn't noticed that before...

Momoko: You really know how to handle Rena...!

Kaede: ...Heehee~!

Kaede: Well, I wonder if this is what I'm experienced at?

Momoko: And Rena's enthusiasm seems to have affected Iroha-chan too.

Momoko: Let's advertise with all our hearts!

Kaede: Yes!

Rena: You people over there! Don't you want a cake for Christmas?!

Kaede: Ah! I wonder if I made her way too intense...!

Momoko: Let's help them, Kaede!

Kaede: Y-Yeah!

And so we advertised the Christmas cakes without a hitch...

Momoko: Okay! Good job, everyone!

Kaede: We sold them all!

Rena: When Rena gets serious, it's way too easy!

Iroha: It went great~!

We got our promised cake for December 24th...!
