(Not) Lonely SANTA's Mission - Track 05

Seasonal Event: Christmas 2024

Location: HAMA House

Nagi: I know I said that what I wanted to do wasn’t worth getting help from anyone else, but I went ahead and roped you into it anyways. Sorry about that.

Liguang: …… 

Nagi: But you were the coolest reindeer of them all. The one I drew on the cardboard was no match for you. The kids definitely appreciated it a lot too.

Liguang: I see. I’m glad it worked out, but you better make sure the photos taken back there don’t get spread around.

Nagi: Of course, I’ll get Miss Elisa’s help for that too. I can’t thank you enough for today, truly.

Sonia: I’d like to thank you for your time ash well, Liguang-shan!

Liguang: Consider the favor repaid with this. You got to play Santa as you wished, right? 

Nagi: …Yeah. 

Raito: Nagi, Liguang, you’re here.

Chief: Welcome back! Looks like Sonia’s here too!

Nagi: We’re back, Chief, Raito-san.

Nagi: Is the stuff you’re carrying for… 

Chief: The party, yep! We’re already done decorating, actually.

Raito: There’s still time before Christmas, but we’re holding it early since we’ve got people who have plans on the day of.

Chief: We thought we’d just hold a small get-together with whoever’s free, but Kafka was really gung-ho about it, wanting to put together a whole party with everyone at HAMA Tours.

Liguang: Kamina prepared a large quantity of gyoza and turkey in his excitement, considering it’s his last break before his next competition.

Chief: Right, he did! You must’ve seen the whole thing huh, Liguang-san…?

Chief: (Wait, why is he wearing a reindeer headband…?)

Liguang: ? What is it?

Chief: Nothing! Just, uh, looking forward to the Christmas party!

Raito: Everyone chipped in to decorate the living room splendidly. Come inside so you can see it yourself. You too, Sonia.

Sonia: I can’t wait!

Liguang: It’s not like we’re children anymore… I’ll head in after parking the car.

Nagi: In other words, I’m gonna be buried under a pile of happiness soon… A danger zone that’ll have my Yajirobe spazz out if I’m not careful… 

Chief: I’m fully prepared to accept as many flowers as you wanna give, so don’t worry too much, Nagi-kun!

Location: HAMA House - Living Room

Renga: Sorry I’m late! The party hasn’t started without me, right!?

Shuumai: Woof woof!

Sakujiro: Excellent work today. There is still plenty of food and drink to go around.

Yodaka: I’ve put aside some champagne that’s perfect for this holy night. Freshen up so we can all enjoy it together.

Renga: Really? Okay, I’ll be right back—... 

Liguang: Oi. What’s that slack-jawed face for?

Renga: Wha– Pfft, haha! What’s with that headband you’re wearing!?

Liguang: !!

Renga: Ahahaha! That’s way too cute! It’s perfect for you! 

Ten: Right~? Man, no one pointed it out this whole time, so it was hard keeping it in… Pfft.

Ten: There’s always folks who forget to take off their headband after leaving the amusement park. I need to know, just who were you fooling around with~?

Liguang: Tch!

Chief: (He really just forgot about it…!?)

Kafka: Huh? You didn’t just put it on because you were excited for the party?

Kafka: I mean, it looks so good on you~♪

Raito: Indeed. I was almost jealous of how prepared you were for tonight.

Yachiyo: I’d like to match with the big boss too! Just where did you get your hands on that?

Liguang: …Shut up.

*door slams shut*

Nayuki: He left… 

Daniel: Prolly best to forget about the whole thing, for his sake. 

Chief: (Liguang-san, I’m so sorry I didn’t point it out to you earlier… But… It really did look good on you…!)

Nagi: …Chief. Do you think Santa can make it down the chimney safely?

Chief: Huh?

Chief: (His face is flushed… Looks like Nagi-kun is in drunk-mode again…)

Nagi: The chimneys of yore were always packed full of soot, so Santa was probably in danger all the time, huffing up all those ashes and staining his white beard black.

Nagi: But did you know, the chimneys on a ship aren’t called chimneys at all, they’re actually called funnels. I wonder if they could fly in the sky.

Sonia: N-Nagi-shan is going around and asking everyone what their plans for Chrishtmash Eve are!

Chief: Ahaha… So that’s it. Thank you for clearing that up, Sonia.

Chief: I’ll be going abroad to meet my family this year. I should be back by the 25th.

Chief: What about you, Nagi-kun?

Toi: Oh my…!

Chief: Hm?

Toi: …I read this exact same line recently in Prince Chariot’s route from the game “Maiden’s Lariat on this Holy Night”!!

Toi: Maybe, just maybe, this could lead to a date event…!?

Akuta: A d–d-date…!? You mean like when the rain turns to snow at midnight and the silent holy night is no longer holy!?

Chief: Ahaha, it’s not like that. I’m just curious about what Nagi-kun will be up to since he asked me first.

Chief: You must be busy with work, huh?

Nagi: Of course, I’ll be very busy. Being Santa is serious business.

Nagi: Getting to be Santa sounds like a dream job but in reality it’s not so glamorous and requires a lot of work to pull off. I’ve been meaning to take the qualification exam sometime but did you know that they require you to carry a huge bag filled with presents and run over 50 meters and climb a ladder and slide down the chimney and clean off six cookies and a glass of milk– all under two minutes? If it weren’t for the time limit I would’ve taken the exam already. But the more I wait, the harder it’ll get as I grow older. And, and, there’s even more hurdles. Like swearing an oath only using Ho Ho Ho—  

Sonia: I-I have to ashk! What about everyone elshe’s plans?

Toi: After we close our shops, Ani-sama and I will spend time together and exchange presents! Ohh, I can’t wait to see what he got me~♪

Akuta: I’mma enjoy the holidays right here at HAMA house!! The epic Project C is reaching peak SO!! Gotta recharge while I can!!

Nagi: Hohoho. Hoho. Hoho Hohoho.

Sonia: Nagi-shan, we should go get some fresh air so you can shober up. Now!

Nagi: Hoho… 

Chief: Hahaha!

Chief: (I’m glad Nagi-kun’s enjoying Christmas in his own way…)
