Beginning
Aru
Phew, thanks a lot for your hard work, everyone!
Aru
I can't thank you enough!
This year's Christmas will be saved because of all of you!
This year's Christmas will be saved because of all of you!
Arthur
Not so fast. You guys still have to deliver the presents.
I wouldn't relax just yet.
I wouldn't relax just yet.
Aru
Well, we're pros, you know.
Aru
That's right. If Rein and I work together, the delivery will be a piece of of cake!
Nico
Wow, Rein must to be so competent.
Aru & Aru
We are competent, too!
Nico
Yeah, right.
You two are great, too.
You two are great, too.
Arthur
By the way, aside from all the other presents...
Where will this huge one go?
Where will this huge one go?
Nico
Ah, that flying castle.
The kid that asked for it has to be really daring.
The kid that asked for it has to be really daring.
Aru
Ah, that castle.
Basically, every present should be worth about the same.
Basically, every present should be worth about the same.
Aru
But the castle was requested by a thousand children together.
They all wished for it as one present.
They all wished for it as one present.
Arthur
So this one single castle will make a thousand wishes come true at once, huh.
Aru
They want to make it into a place where all the children in town can have a Christmas party.
Nico
Wow! Sounds so nice!
Nico's jealous. It'll be a lot of fun!
Nico's jealous. It'll be a lot of fun!
Aru
Partying with many people at a sparkling castle!
Just imagining that makes me excited!
Just imagining that makes me excited!
Aru
I know, right? It's gonna be so fun!
I just couldn't resist the urge to make that wish come true!
I just couldn't resist the urge to make that wish come true!
Arthur
Having a Christmas party in that castle...?
Aru
Mr. Arthur, is there a problem?
Arthur
...Santa, will that work out?
Aru
Well, a thousand wishes are still not enough for a castle this size, but...
Arthur
That's not what I meant.
If they want to use the castle as a party place, it should be delivered a day ahead of the other presents...?
If they want to use the castle as a party place, it should be delivered a day ahead of the other presents...?
Arthur
Otherwise, they won't be able to throw the party on Christmas day.
Aru
Oh...?
Aru
That's true...!
Nico
But just a day ahead is nothing, is it...?
Aru
Uuu...
Actually, there's a catch.
Actually, there's a catch.
Aru
Our powers get the strongest during the night of Christmas.
Aru
And that's how we can deliver presents all around the world...
But except for that particular night...
But except for that particular night...
Aru
We can't do anything special, save for flying in the sky.
Nico
Whaaat!
Aru
One normal present wouldn't be a problem, but this castle...
Also, we're going to have to travel very far to deliver it.
Also, we're going to have to travel very far to deliver it.
Aru
And we need to decorate it before the delivery.
Nico
What kind of decoration?
Aru
Those thousand children...
They want it snow-covered.
They want it snow-covered.
Nico
Wow, that'll make it look more like a Christmas party place.
Nico wants to see it, too!
Nico wants to see it, too!
Aru
But there's another problem: it hardly snows around here, so we're going to have to gather the snow from other places and put it on the castle.
Nico
Oh no.
Aru
The more we think about this situation we're in, the more desperate it seems.
What should we do...?
What should we do...?
Arthur
The castle is something a thousand kids wished for.
There's no choice but to get this done.
There's no choice but to get this done.
Aru
But...
Aru
This is too much work for just the two of us,
and *mumble*mumble*...
and *mumble*mumble*...
Arthur
Of course, I'll help.
Nico
Nico will, too!
Aru
Y-you two...
Aru
But we can't trouble you two even more.
Arthur
We gave you guys trouble first.
Nico
He's right.
And...
And...
Nico
Gathering snow and making a snow-covered castle sounds like so much fun!
Nico will show her good taste and decorate the castle super cute!
Nico will show her good taste and decorate the castle super cute!
Aru
How very nice of you two...
Aru
I'm tearing up...
Arthur
No time to be crying.
Christmas is almost here.
Christmas is almost here.
Aru
Right!
All right, let's do this!
All right, let's do this!
Aru
Yeah, let's make the castle gorgeous and beautiful!
Nico
Yeah!
Ending
Aru
Everyone, once again.
Aru
Great work! Cheers!
Nico
Cheers!
Boy, Nico really is exhausted.
Boy, Nico really is exhausted.
Aru
After setting up that castle, you two even helped us deliver the other presents.
Aru
We don't know how to thank you...
Aru
We're sorry this is the best we can do as a token of our gratitude...
Arthur
No problem. It's more than enough.
Nico
Wow, we have a lot of bread and rice balls and stuff.
Aru
Go ahead and get whatever you like, Nico!
Nico
Yeah! Thanks, Santa.
Arthur
Don't eat too much, though.
Nico
Why not!? Nico worked enough to deserve it.
Arthur
You won't be able to enjoy what's coming next.
Nico
Huh? What are you talking about?
Aru
Fufufu, I didn't forget about it, either.
Today is... Well, technically, it was yesterday, but.

Aru
Happy birthday, Nico!
Nico
Huh...?
Aru
This is for you from us Santas.
Nico
Wow... It's a big cake.
Arthur
And this is from me.
Nico
A present...!
Arthur
That's what my daughter wanted.
You'll like it, too. Just my guess, though.
You'll like it, too. Just my guess, though.
Nico
Uu... Uu...
Nico
*cry*!
Aru
Oh dear.
Aru
There, there.
Nico
Papa... and Santa, thank you.
Aru
But, Nico.
Aru
I think it's a little too early for you to say thank you.
Nico
Fue...? Is there more to come...?
Aru
Fufufu.
It's the one you want to celebrate your birthday the most.
It's the one you want to celebrate your birthday the most.
Nico
Is that...

Nico!
Nico

Uaah!

Ahaha, I'm happy for you, Nico.
Arthur
*Lights a cigarette*
Arthur
Phew...
Arthur
I suppose it's time to go home.
Arthur
After all, I still have my own daughter's birthday to celebrate.
Arthur
...Happy birthday, Nico.
