ー A few days after Christmas.



Gray: Ja- Jay-san... Uhm...!

Jay: Hm? What's wrong, Grayー

Billy: Happy Chrisma~~~s... ☆

Gray: C- Christmas...!

Jay: Ooh!? Th- This is... What is this teddy bear for...?

Billy: HAHAHA~♪ You gave us Christmas gifts, didn't you, Jay?

Gray: Asch and ours... each wore Christmas costumes, they were so cute...

Billy: But, geez Jay, you said you only prepared ours and didn't have one for you, so~

Jay: W- Well... you guys are like sons to me, and I'm not at a age where I can match stuff with all of you, you know?

Billy: Don't say that~! It's fine "to match with all of us", you know~!

Gray: That's right... That's why we want you to have a bear dressed as Santa, too, Jay-san...

Jay: I see, if you really think so... then thanks, I'm happy,  very much so.
By the way, you managed to get quite the same teddy bear, huh? This store doesn't accept made-to-order right now, does it?
I got involved with it because of work long time ago and became good friends with the proprietor, so I had them give me advice...

Billy: That is, you know, this, sir~

Jay: ...... Money?

Billy: Having said that, it's not our money. Think about it, there's one more person, no? Someone with the same teddy bear.

Jay: Eh?! Don't tell me... you're talking about Asch?

Billy: Bingo~♪ That's right. When we were wondering what do to, Asch-paisen who was passing by solved it by throwing money at us.
At the end of the day, I guess Asch-paisen also wanted to give you something in return, Jay~
Though when I suggested to give it to you together he said he was good and withdrew into your room.

Gray: He said not to mention he gave us the money, though... Is this alright...?

Billy: It's fine, it's fine! See, now we're all matching. ♡

Jay: Haha. I'm really thankful to you two... Alright, I'll thank Asch too once I get back to our room.
Speaking of, is there already? We have some after party cleaning to do... Give me a sec, I'll go call him. 

Billy: Off you go~~~♪
Fufu, we might see Asch-paisen being dragged by Jay again. ♪

Gray: ......

Billy: Nh? What's wrong, Gray? You look like something's on your mind...

Gray: !! Nothing much, really...!?

Billy: ... That so?

Gray: T- That's right... I mean, uhm... the Christmas party was fun, huh...
Christmas is already over, but... I'm happy we could celebrate it...

Billy: It's all thanks to your suggestion! I also had lots of fun~. We ate delicious food and a Christmas cake together...
Speaking of, that cake sure was something, right!? It was just a 4-people pary, but it looked like a wedding cake!

Gray:
Y- Yeah... That also surprised me...

Billy: I thought I saw the design somewhere, so I secretly looked it up, but it seems to be a cake from a very popular shop in Paris.
That's not something that can hastily be prepared. Normally, even if you intend to make a reservation, the reception will close in an instant...

Gray: Whaaat... We ate such an amazing cake...?

Billy: It's all thanks to Asch-paisen~. He said he'd prepare fried chicken, but to think he would arrange for a cake and hors d'oeuvre, too...
He said he would only prepare things that'd suit his taste, but... I wonder if that was paisen's idea of a Christmas gift?

Gray: R- Right. I also think that's the case...
That's why... just in case, I also... gave him a present...

Billy: Woah, am I dreaming!? Gray giving a present to Asch-paisen... it's kind of a scoop!
By the way, what did you give him?

Gray: Uhm... a few, Christmas candies...
I found the perfect ones at the shop I always buy cupcakes... I debated for nearly a hour, but I wonder if I was right to buy them...

Billy: Was Asch-paisen happy?

Gray: I d- don't know that... It was obviously impossible for me to give them directly to him, so I put them next to his pillow earlier...

Billy: HAHAHA~ just like Santa Claus! Asch-paisen will definitely get excited~♪

Gray: No, he won't...? Yes, no way he will... I'm sure he'll say something like "who left trash in here~"...

Billy: Ah, this negativity right now is unacceptable~! Who wouldn't be happy to receive a gift?

Gray: !! Is that, true...?

Billy: YES! It might sound like I'm putting it in an extreme way, but I think there is some truth to it.
I mean, you chose it while thinking of him, right? Of course that would make one happy~♪

Gray: I s- see... Then, uhm... what about you?
Does that apply to you as well...? If I gave you a gift, would you be hapー

Billy: Gray, look this way ♪

Gray: Huh?



Billy: What is this~?

Gray: ...! That's... the same turtle dove ornament as yours....

Billy: Exactly! Take a closer look at this ornament, mkay?

Gray: Eh? A closer look, you say...

Billy: One, two, three... ☆

Gray: Uwah!?
It's a r- real dove... Eh? How did you do that...?

Billy: Okay, Gray. This next.

Gray: Eh...
Billy-kun...? This package...?

Billy: This is my Christmas gift for you, Gray. Fufu, Happy Christmas! ♪

Gray: Eh? Huh? Christmas... gift...?

Billy:
Yup, it's a cushion that improves your posture! It looked like you were worried about your bent back, so... try using it when you play games, too ♪

Gray: Bi... Billy-kun...!

Billy: Eheheh, I was thinking about you when I chose it, but... what do you think? Did it make you happy?

Gray: Of course! I'm very... very happy! So happy, I...
!!

Billy: Nh? What's wrong, Grayー
Eh!? Wait, where are you going~?

Gray: I also have one...! A C- Christmas gift... for you...

Billy: Woah! For me?

Gray: I've been waiting for an opportunity to give it to you, but... I didn't know when it was a good time to or rather, I'm not confident you'll like it...

Billy: Waaah, a scarf! It looks super warm!

Gray: A- Aaaaah... well, Billy-kun, regardless of whether it's a cold day or not, you run around outside for your informant job, right?
So... I hope it'll warm you even a little so that you won't catch a cold ... I hope...

Billy: Hooray, thank you, Gray! The idea that you picked this thinking of me makes me sssssssssuper happy ♪
Eheheh, I'll take good care of it. ♡

Gray: ......!
Me too! I will also treasure this cushion for the rest of my life...!

Billy: Ya~~~y! Merry Christmas... ☆

Gray: Me- Merry Christmas... ♪
