I-Is Harajuku always this crowded for Christmas?! Oh wait, it was also this crowded when I came before.

Wait?! Ruby?! Where did you go?! D-Did you get lost in the crowd?

Diaaa!

*Huff* *Puff* Oh good, I thought I'd lost you.

I could say the same! If we get lost in a place like this we might never meet again or even make it back to Uchiura for the rest of our lives!

What?! I feel like “for the rest of our lives” is over-exaggerating.

What am I over-exaggerating?! The city of Tokyo and its stations are intertwined by a nearly infinite spider web of streets. If you get lost, there's no getting out alone!

Y-You're right, we have to be careful! And actually, we'd better hurry. We're here to see a school idol Christmas live show today, after all!

That was a splendid performance. I cannot believe there are school idols of that caliber here in Harajuku.

Right! Their singing and dancing were both fantastic! I really felt just how happy they were to be up on stage through their songs too.

The entire show really warmed my heart. School idols really are a wonderful thing. I'm glad we came to watch them.

Dia, umm…

What is it?

This is a Christmas present for you.

Huh? F-For ME? When did you find the time to get this?

I bought it this afternoon. I was looking through the store and then that's when I almost lost track of you. I'm sorry.

This is a thank-you for Christmas, and for coming to watch the live show with me, and for always being there for me.

Thank you for everything you do, Dia. Let's keep doing our best from now on as both Aqours and as family.

Ruby…

*Giggle* This is very warm. What do you think? Does it look all right?

Yeah! It looks really good on you. You're so cute!

Thank you so much, Ruby. Both for this scarf and for expressing your feelings too. I never thought I would ever receive such a wonderful gift.

I have to make sure that I get a present for you as well.

You really don't have to! Don't worry about me.

No, please let me get you something. I also feel the exact same way you do. I hope we always stay on this path we walk together.
