It'll be Christmas pretty soon.
I love Christmas!
Me too!
Somehow, I'm already excited for it.
Yeah.
Huh? Isn't that Kusuda's seat?
Why are you sitting in my seat, Sogabe?!
I couldn't see the blackboard...
Listen, listen.
Did you see the big, cute Christmas tree that was put up in front of the station?
Oh, I see.
You're pretty enthusiastic.
At this rate, she'll be yours by the start of winter break.
Shh! Don't say such rude things!
I think being close enough for her to see me is important!
With your back facing her?
Real men speak silently with their backs.
The back represents a man's grief.
Chikura-san will definitely understand.
It seems like your attempt failed.
Chikura-san is just shy.
If we're both alone, she will definitely talk a lot and smile.
That's right!
Hey, what are you doing?
What is it?
If that's the case, we just need to spend Christmas Eve together!
Perhaps if you beg Santa, he might allow her to appear in your dreams.
Who said anything about dreams?!
Reality! I'm talking about reality, Kusuda!
I can't breathe...
I think it's very likely that Chikura-san will spend Christmas Eve with Enomoto-san and the others!
If I join them, I'll see the other side of Chikura-san...
The other side?
Smash!

My heart cries to be awakened

Let's fulfill them one by one

It's decided!

The wind filled with dreams in the far away sky

We chase it together; let's make a happy glider

Don't erase them
omoi wa atsui mama de
Keep our feelings hot with excitement
What? A Christmas party?
Yeah, we'll eat, party and have fun together.
I can't believe you've got the guts to suggest something like that,
with your kappa face and all!
Shut up, old woman!
Zaitsu-kun, are you going?
I think I'll pass-
Kusuda-kun, when did you...
W-What?!
If you go, I'll delete these pictures.
All right! Zaitsu-kun is going!
Okay!
Ayumi?
Count me in! Let's all go!
Nice, Arihara-san!
Seriously, this girl...
I guess it can't be helped. Let's go.
I'll pass.
She has to spend her Christmas with her Onii-chan!
I wanted to say that myself...
Chikura-chan, Doba-chan, you two will be coming, right?
Oh, I'll pass too.
Why? Club activities?
I might have plans... Probably...
What's with that?
I mean, it's not like you have a boyfriend.
Most importantly... what about Chikura-san?
I don't think I'll have any plans.
If Kei-chan and Ayumi-chan are both going, I'll go too.
Yes!
A Christmas together with Zaitsu-kun!
A Christmas together with Chikura-san!
There are three boys and three girls!
How about we exchange gifts then?
Good idea!
The girls will give presents to the guys...
And the guys will give presents to the girls!
Exactly!
Were they always this close?
Who knows...
Christmas together with Kusuda?
"Even if it's badly made, I think a present hand-made with love will make him happy!"
-High school sophomore, Akio...
It won't work.
It's Kusuda we're talking about, so he'll just make fun of me for giving him something like that.
What should I give him?
The only things I can think of that'll make him happy are porn mags and manga...
Wait, why am I only thinking about Kusuda?
It's possible that I might be giving it to one of the other two.
But there's a one in three chance I'll be giving it to Kusuda,
so I might as well get him something that'll make him bow before me while crying in joy.
Thank you for giving me such a great gift!
I've always been mean to you... I'm sorry!
Yeah, right.
Actually, I was only mean to you because...
...I wanted to hide the fact that I like you.
Wait, what's with this development?
There's no way you like me.
I've always been cold to you.
More importantly, we don't suit each other at all!
But you're seeing me right now in this delusion, so that means you're interested in me!
Men are all about looks...
Looks are everything!
Even if you stare at me with that stupid look...
Even if you stare at me... I won't...
Onee-chan?
Why are you rolling around in pain naked, Kei-chan?
I'll never admit it.
Not long ago, I was proposed to by a guy who made 1.3 billion yen a year!
But why would I...
Why would I be interested in a guy who's crap on both the inside and outside?
This really sucks.
Ayumi-chan, did you buy your Christmas present yet?
Not yet. I should probably start thinking about it soon.
Yeah.
Oh yeah, what should I do about the present?
Chikura-chan, come with me to buy it!
Sure, let's go!
Now that I think about it, this is my first time ever giving a present to a guy.
I've gotten plenty from guys though.
This is really cute!
I doubt a guy would be happy about getting one.
This color is so plain that it looks like it'd suit Kusuda.
I've never seen him wear a scarf.
This might be good.
Wait, why is Kusuda here?!
You're here to buy presents too?
So what if I am?
Besides, what's up with that?
No guy would ever wear such a flashy scarf!
Of course they would!
Have you ever thought of fashion?
If you haven't, don't talk!
Are you buying gloves?
That's unexpected.
I was expecting something like lingerie.
You're even more perverted than I am.
I'm just putting myself in your shoes!
As if I would buy something like that.
It would be okay if you were the one getting it,
but there's a chance that Chikura or Arihara will receive it.
Enomoto, you really think like an old man.
Why?
Why does he treat Chikura and Ayumi like girls,
but not me?
But not me!
Enomo-
Do you really think any girl receiving those unfashionable gloves would be happy?
If I were the one who got those pink gloves, I would throw them away right away.
Not to mention they're on-sale items.
I can't believe you'd buy on-sale items for a present.
Kusuda, you don't understand girls at all-
Wait, what are you...
Hey...
Kusuda!
Now what?
I hurt him...
It's so cold!
Oh no, I'm going to be late!
Yo.
Good morning...
Thank goodness, he doesn't seem mad about yesterday.
Hey, you know, Kusuda-
That thing with the sock was just terrible timing.
I was going to apologize for yesterday.
At least he isn't ignoring me.
But he's acting different from usual...
Why did I say something so mean?
I really should've apologized back then.
Kusuda-kun, give me back my test!
The longer I put it off, the harder it gets to bring myself to do it.
Enomoto!
Ouch!
What are you doing, Dobashi?!
You've been stooping lately.
You Hulk woman!
So you can still throw out those snappy comebacks.
Worrying doesn't suit your queen-like image.
I'm not really worrying...
That's good then.
It's nothing important!
I'm just wondering whether spending Christmas with those guys is a good idea or not...
Christmas, huh?
What is it?
Don't tell me there's something bothering you too?
Dobashi-san!
What is it?
I'm sorry for intruding while you're with your friend!
But can you give me a moment?
Who's that?
A guy from my club.
There's something I have to tell you no matter what!
Sorry, but I'll be walking back with him.
Bye.
Huh? Did Dobashi...
...just smile?
More importantly, the problem now is the Christmas party.
I don't want to go with this mood.
They dropped...
Kei-chan! Kei-chan!
What is it?
I'm not going to show you my grades, you know!
It's not about that.
So, have you decided on what clothes you'll be wearing for the party?
Not yet, why?
Then let me be the one wearing pink.
What are you talking about? Just wear what you want.
I thought it'd be a bad idea to wear the same color as you.
The same color as me?
I mean, pink is your favorite color.
Do people get the impression that I like pink?
Of course!
A lot of your things are pink!
Like your pencil case, your coat, your scarf, and your hair ties...
Were those gloves meant for me?
Of course they aren't...
More importantly, how should I face him?
Anyway, I'll just go with a smile!
I won't be awkward, I'll be normal, natural and casual!
Sorry!
Don't tell me I'm the last one.
I guess not.
Yeah...
It's rare for Ayumi and Chikura to be late.
Well...
While we were waiting for you, Santa collapsed.
Zaitsu-kun said he'd carry him to the hospital.
Zaitsu-kun, over here!
I think it brought out the rescuing-spirit within Zaitsu-kun.
So Ayumi went with him.
Huh? My cell phone?
It's Chikura.
Hello?
Hello...
I think I've caught a cold...
I was really looking forward to today...
But I'm really sorry.
Please help me apologize to everyone else.
All right, take care of yourself.
Chikura said she can't come because she caught a cold.
I see.
I guess it can't be helped then.
I'm going to see Chikura-san!
I'm the only one who can save her!
What's up with that?
Here I go!
Does Sogabe-kun like Chikura?
I never knew that.
Wait, that means I'm alone with Kusuda?!
But we still aren't talking to each other...
Maybe this is a good chance to make up...
I have to apologize today.
Uh...
Jeez, I can't stand this atmosphere.
If this goes on, I won't be able to apologize.
Jeez, what should I do?
Let's go home.
We can't have a Christmas party with just the two of us.
Let's just call it off.
Wait a second!
Since we came all the way here, don't you want to eat something together?
I'm really hungry...
I don't care if you're hungry or not.
Even if I go home, there won't be anything to eat.
Isn't it the same for you?
I doubt you'd have anything to eat if you went home.
That's why...
Snow...
Then let's go eat.
Hey, wait for me!
I can't believe this.
What should I have?
It's Christmas, so we should eat at an elegant hotel restaurant...
It doesn't have to be that good of a restaurant, but this place...
They don't even have a Christmas menu!
Moreover, we're against the wall.
I guess I shouldn't think like that.
I mean, I've got Kusuda in front of me...
Waitress! We can see your panties!
And also, we'd like to order.
I'm sorry, what would you like?
I'll have a meat spaghetti!
Hey! You should order something more Christmassy.
What about you?
I'll have a hamburger set and a shortcake.
That's what you call Christmassy?
Yeah, that's what the shortcake is for.
Let me repeat it again.
A meat spaghetti, a hamburger set and a shortcake.
Is that all?
Yes.
Please wait.
She left...
That waitress had a really good body.
What's with him? I mean, he's here with me...
I thought Christmas was a time when everyone in the world could become happy.
I've always thought that...
Kusuda, let's go hang out somewhere else.
Where do you mean by somewhere else?
The karaoke place or the bowling alley...
They say the karaoke place is filled up.
We need to wait two hours in line for bowling.
Kusuda, wait!
No...
Wait for me!
I still haven't apologized yet.
I can't go back feeling like this...
I don't want to go back!
I'm the first one to step on this park's snow!
Look, I've got a lot-
What are you doing?!
What do you mean?
You were walking so fast all by yourself!
This isn't Christmassy at all!
And you're so perverted!
And you look like a loser!
Wait!
Why are you always...
...so cold to me?!
I can't believe you said that.
You're always so difficult with me.
Even today, you were so demanding.
That's because you're not sensitive enough.
Then just leave me alone!
You don't even understand my feelings.
Actually, I...
Snowball fight's over.
Let's go.
I said it's over!
What's this?
It's a Christmas present.
Isn't this the flashy scarf?
I don't have any use for it.
Thanks.
Here, me too.
I don't have any use for it either.
Oh, thank you...
What the heck is this?!
It's totally my style, isn't it?
I'm sorry.
I said some really mean things back then...
I actually thought they might be nice...
Because I thought those pink gloves would look good on me.
But even so...
Wow, I might have psychic powers.
This is...
I actually bought them afterwards.
Look! Pink really looks good on me, right?
All girls look good in pink...
Kusuda, put on the scarf I gave you.
It's all right.
Come on! Come on!
Idiot, do you want to kill me?
You old woman!
What, kappa-face?

Are you in love right now?
Enomoto noticed that I was going out with Terai from the tennis club.
She told me not to be so secretive...
But I'm good with the training at the tennis club.
