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!

Arthur

Not so fast. You guys still have to deliver the presents.
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.

Arthur

By the way, aside from all the other presents...
Where will this huge one go?

Nico

Ah, that flying castle.
The kid that asked for it has to be really daring.

Aru

Ah, that castle.
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.

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!

Aru

Partying with many people at a sparkling castle!
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!

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...?

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.

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...

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.

Aru

And we need to decorate it before the delivery.

Nico

What kind of decoration?

Aru

Those thousand children...
They want it snow-covered.

Nico

Wow, that'll make it look more like a Christmas party place.
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...?

Arthur

The castle is something a thousand kids wished for.
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*...

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...

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!

Aru

How very nice of you two...

Aru

I'm tearing up...

Arthur

No time to be crying.
Christmas is almost here.

Aru

Right!
All right, let's do this!

Aru

Yeah, let's make the castle gorgeous and beautiful!

Nico

Yeah!

▶️

Aru

Everyone, once again.

Aru

Great work! Cheers!

Nico

Cheers!
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.

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.

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.
