Tsukasa: Oneesama, Merry Christmas.♪
Fufu. I’m happy to be able to see your face. What business do you have here today?
Hm. You are meeting up with all the units participating in Star… StarFes?
It’s an S1, of course it would not be practical to cram it all on the actual day.
There are countless units participating in StarFes this year. It must be difficult.
You have my sympathies. Please try not to push yourself too hard.
Fufu. Yes, as embarrassing as it is… Right now, we Knights are preparing for a slightly early Christmas party together.
Oneesama, if it pleases you, would you join us?
Ehehe, for once, Ritsu-senpai has made a cake that does not look grotesque to the eye. Mm mm, the flavor is also quite satisfactory.♪
Ritsu: Suu-chan, you’re eating too much. Don’t eat it all before Ousama and Nacchan make it back.
I’m fine as long as I have Anzu’s blood~ But everyone else needs snacks and stuff, right?
Tsukasa: This is not a joke, Ritsu-senpai. Whoever may think to hurt Oneesama, this Tsukasa Suou will promptly suppress them.
...I just thought of this, but… though you are self-claimed, is it alright for a vampire to celebrate Christmas?
Ritsu: It’s not like it’s totally okay, but whatever, don’t sweat the details…
I don’t know if it’s fashion or whatever, but Anija wears a cross around his neck.
In the first place, knights are supposed to abide by Christian morality, too.
If vampires are naturally opposed to Christianity, then I’m not suited to be in Knights.
Anyway, Anzu, you don’t look so good. What’s wrong, are you okay…?
Izumi: You’re working too much again, Anzu. Even God rests one day a week, it’s not like you’re Santa…
At least take it easy during the new year.
Well, with StarFes and the SS, there’s a pile of huge events going on around this time…
As a producer, you must be really busy.
I know they call the end of the year “shiwasu”, but honestly… it’ll be a bother if you collapse. [1]
Come eat some sweets and have some tea with us for a while.
Yeah. Don’t hold back, you’re always welcome here.
Tsukasa: (whispering) Sena-senpai has been very kind to Oneesama these days.
Ritsu: (whispering) No, it’s hard to get but he’s been kind since the beginning. Secchan’s a tsundere, but he’s especially sweet to people younger than him.
Tsukasa: (whispering) Huh? He has been strict with me this whole time, though? Why?
Ritsu: (whispering) Secchan’s really clumsy, so with people he really likes, he ends up getting too far into their business and acting in an unlikeable way.
Tsukasa: (whispering) Hm… I should work harder to understand Sena-senpai’s kindness too.
Ritsu: (whispering) Yeah. Even Anzu wanted to run away from him at first, but lately she understands that and even accepts it. You should learn from her, Suu-chan.
Izumi: Hey, what are you two muttering about over there? That kind of thing is soooo annoying!
Ritsu: Nothing~ Anyway, Anzu… have you seen Ousama and Nacchan?
For some reason they haven’t returned. Did they go on a raid like the 47 Ronin?
Tsukasa: Yes. I am worried, they may have gotten stranded again.
Izumi: Hmm, aren’t they just taking their time choosing presents? Ousama aside, Naru-kun has a weird obsession with it.
Leo: Wahaha!☆ I’m back, the return of the king…!
Izumi: ...Oh, speak of the devil, huh? What the hell were you doing? We got hungry and started eating without you.
Leo: Sorry, sorry! Nazu looked like he was having a hard time, so we helped him out!
He helped with Knight Killers, and it seems like he took care of you guys as well… I thought I’d return the favor.♪
Izumi: Nazu… Nazunyan? Did something happen…?
Arashi: I’m back~♪ Sorry about that, I went shopping at one of my favorite stores.
It was an ordeal getting through the snow out there, and some things happened on the way back.
Tsukasa: Welcome back, Narukami-senpai. Whoa, that is a lot of bags on your arms.
Arashi: Ahaha, I ended up shopping for myself too....
Anyway, Izumi-chan, did you hear? It seems there’s a little bit of trouble surrounding Ra*bits right now.
Izumi: Yeah, what’s that about? Nazunyan’s the type to keep things to himself, so I haven’t heard anything.
He’s not exactly a friend, anyway.
Arashi: Ufufu, even though you get along so well~♪
It seems Mika-chan… my friend’s unit got tangled up in something. It’s suspicious, isn’t it?
Izumi: Ah, Itsuki… It seems he’s not feeling well lately. He’s been absent from school, too.
I wonder what happened over there. Well, it has nothing to do with us, though.
Agh, this is the worst… We were having fun and it feels like we just got put out.
I’ll try to get ahold of Nazunyan and Itsuki… It might be meddling too much, but it’s annoying to have a mess going on right next to us.
Arashi: Ufufu, Izumi-chan really is so nice…
But it looks like it’s probably better not to meddle from the sidelines. It seemed more like a private thing.
Izumi: That might be true, but Nazunyan went ahead and got Knight Killers wrapped up in his personal business.
We have a duty, we can’t just watch him suffer, right?
...Hmm. Nazunyan and Itsuki aren’t picking up. What the heck are they doing?
Leo: Mm… it sounds like that guy Shu went and keeled over. After we went shopping, we went to check up on him.
It looked like he piled way too much on himself.
He was raging on about how he’d participate in StarFes out of sheer willpower, but all of us told him to just sleep already and confined him to bed.
It was rough! That stubborn side of him hasn’t changed.

[1] “Shiwasu” is the old Japanese word for the final month of the lunar calendar. The name “shiwasu” is written with the characters for “priest” and “run”, and according to folklore, this is because everyone was always so busy during the end of the year that even priests had to run around to people’s homes… so the name “shiwasu” gives off a feeling of year-end rush.
