It's almost Christmas!

Indeed.

All of the Christmas decorations around town are making it sparkle. Seeing that gets me all excited!

Hey, guys? Wanna have a Christmas party with me? I bet you do!

Everyone might have their own plans, so you mustn't be too over—

Of course everyone wants to have a Christmas party! I totally get it! Leave it all to me!

I've already got a plan.

A Christmas party organized by you? That's got the potential to be something out of this world!

Aw, Chika! I won't let you down!

I'm thinking of renting out a whole cruise ship and holding the party there.

A cruise ship? As in, a water vessel? Won't having a party aboard a ship during winter be a little on the cold side?

Don't fret! I'll make sure to have an outdoor heater installed! Besides, the plan is to have the actual party indoors anyway.

I'll hire a top-class chef and confectioner, so get those hopes up for the best food and cake you'll ever have!

A party on a cruise ship, huh…

The best food and cake we'll ever have…

Let's have the most extravagant Christmas ever!

What do you say? I bet you're all itching to come. *Giggle* I'm even planning on getting some dresses for all of you too!

Lanzhu!

What's the deal, Shioriko? The look on your face is terrifying.

Because I'm making it so.

We're students. It's not appropriate for us to hold a party that is beyond our means.

I wholeheartedly agree. Leaving everything to you is also a sticking point for me.

You've joined the party pooper parade too, Dia?!

Listen, Lanzhu. I really do want to have a party with you and everyone else.

But the kind of party I want is not one where a single person takes care of everything.

I want to do something where we all work together to create something fun.

Shioriko's right. I must say that the thought of a cake made by a top-class confectioner is rather appealing, however.

Hmm… If we're talking about cake, then I wanna make a mikan-orange one!

In that case, I'll decorate the room!

See? Everyone's joining in with their input. Let's all plan the party together, Lanzhu.

Well, if that's what you all insist on, then okay!
