Abby

Abby: It's everyone's favorite day of the year again! And the tree's decorated nice and pretty, right?
Bobo: Bobo! (That's right. Let's party!)
Abby: Back when I lived in the woods, people used to ask me to chop down fir trees all the time, so I split 'em right in two!
Bobo: Bobo... Bobo... (If I remember right, there was hardly anything left of the forest after you were done.)
Abby: Anyway... I was always super busy at this time of year! And I couldn't have done it without you, Bobo!
Bobo: Bobo! (Maybe... but working under you was a nightmare!)
Abby: If you do your job right this year, I'll reward you with some of your favorite bugs! You'd like that, wouldn't you?
Bobo: Bobo... Bobo... (How many times do I have to tell you I hate bugs!)

Abby: Hmm, I heard we're eating turkey for the holiday dinner.
Bobo: Bobo! (Finally! Some real food!)
Abby: Oh, but I guess you can't eat it 'cause you're vegetarian. (Captain), you can eat his slice for him!
Bobo: Bobo! (I can make an exception!)
Abby: Don't worry, I'll get you lots and lots of medicine herbs instead! I hear they're good for you!
Bobo: Bobo! (It's better than bugs, but at least give me something that has more taste!)

Abby: (Captain)! Will Santa really give me a present tonight?
Bobo: Bobo. (I hear kids get nice things as a reward for being good.)
Abby: Okay! Then I want a grindstone to sharpen my axe!
And, and! I want to split all kinds of things in two!
Hehe! I'm so excited for Santa! I just can't wait!
Hey! What if I split the sun in two? Would it become night?
Bobo: Bobo... Bo... (The stuff this girl says gets more absurd each year...)

Abby: The holy night's upon us again! That shiny grindstone I got last year to polish my axe made me super happy!
Bobo: Bobo! (Well, you weren't exactly a naughty girl last year!)
Abby: I wonder if I'll get something this year too...
Bobo: Bo... Bobo? (I'd say yes... Though I wonder what's on your wish list this time.)
Abby: What's that, (Captain)? You want to know what sort of present I'd like? Great question!
I want an axe so gigantic that it can split the sun in two!
If it's perpetually nighttime, Santa's job becomes that much easier, and I get my present! It'd be like killing two birds with one stone!
Besides, I'm sure the sun would return to normal once the holy night's over! Whew, how much fun it'd be!
Bobo: Bo... Bobo... (Your ambitions grow grander every year, but can Santa keep up?)
Bobo? (And how do you plan on getting the sun back to normal afterward anyway?)

Abby: Achoo... Sniff... Brr...
Bobo: Bobo. (Hang on. Gonna grab you a sweater before you turn into a snow sculpture.)
Abby: What! Bobo! I can't believe my ears!
Bobo: Bo? (I got a bad feeling about this...)
Abby: You're giving me... your fur coat? But that'll be...
Bobo: Bobo! (The death of me! Yeah, I know! So hands off!)
Abby: Okay... I hear you, Bobo... You're real serious about this, aren't you?
Then, there's only one thing left to do!
Bobo: Bo! Booo! ((Captain)! Don't just stand there! Save meee!)
Abby: Squish!
Bobo: Bo? (What's she doing, clinging on to me like this?)
Abby: I wasn't about to skin you, silly! But you were such a sweetie, Bobo, I thought I'd snuggle up in your fur and get warm.
Hey, (Captain)! Saved a spot for you over here. Bobo's got the warmest flanks in the skies, you know!
Bobo: Bobo... (Know what, Abby? I wouldn't be surprised if my heart burst one day because of you.)

Adam

(Captain), happy holidays.
Apologies for the sudden notice, but would it be possible to borrow an empty room on your ship?
Queen Orchis declared that everyone in the palace must take holiday leave, you see.
I'm afraid I don't know what to do with days of free time available to me...
When I went to ask my lady for advice, she instead directed me to you.
Would you mind teaching me how one should spend the holidays relaxing?

I must thank you for teaching me how to spend the holidays last year. It was a truly invaluable experience.
I had reported what I learned to Queen Orchis, and she sent me to join your skyfaring crew this year as well.
It has come to my attention that now is the time when you are all at your busiest.
Supporting Santa Claus and participating in an assortment of seasonal events and whatnot sounds quite hectic.
Instead of taking a break, as it were, perhaps my time would be better spent assisting you in your winter endeavors?
Pardon? The holiday festivities are more recreation than a series of formal events?
How very curious. I gather what constitutes a vacation is in the eyes of the vacationer...
Thank you for the valuable insight. Please allow me to help you on your "holiday."

Agielba

Happy holidays!
I can't hold all these presents I got for Ardora!
Sorry to bug you, but could you help me carry them?

Enjoying the festivities, (Captain)?
What's this? You got a present for Ardora too?
Thanks! Let's take a look here...
Wait. Wait, wait, wait! This does not suit my daughter!
Seriously, (Captain). A pink dress? This does not bring out her eyes!

Yo, (Captain)! Here's my holiday gift to you. Take it already.
I picked it out with Ardora. Pretty neat, huh?
Isn't she just the greatest kid you've ever seen! If only you knew how much she dotes on you...
Grr... I must admit I'm a bit jealous...

I'll pass on dinner and drinks, (Captain). It's straight to bed tonight.
Do you know what Ardora said to me? She said she's going to be my Santa Claus!
She's such a good girl. What kind of dad would I be if I stayed up late after hearing that?
So I need you to bring her to my room before she ends up drifting off to sleep!
I'll be waiting under the covers!

Did you hear, (Captain)?
Ardora wants to hand out presents with me this year!
I get to be Santa, while she'll play the reindeer!
She says everyone else is always working real hard, so she wants to do her part too! Sure moved me to tears!
Problem is she wants to go as a stuffed animal, and I can't help but worry if she can sew on her own...
Any chance you can help her out with the costume, (Captain)?
Yeah? Thanks a ton! With you around, I'm sure everything'll pan out just fine!
Hahaha! Hope you're looking forward to tonight's present from Santa!

Aglovale

This night is sacred, and many of the people of Wales are spending it with their kin.
What have you and your crewmates planned?
I see... A banquet to which all members are invited.
Any night spent with one's intimates is sure to be outstanding.
Well then, please accept this present from me.
This wine is the pride of my dear Wales.
Take it back to your vessel and share it with the others.

I have only one matter to discuss with you today, (Captain).
Regarding the holiday feast you hold with your crew every year...
I would like to offer the Wales cathedral as a venue for your celebration this year.
Of course, our best chefs will prepare a scrumptious dinner and various local specialties for your enjoyment.
There is no need to hesitate. I am simply curious...
I'd very much like to know how a captain such as yourself rewards the crew's members for their hard work...
As I will also be in attendance, there is no need for constraint. You are most welcome.

I had never seen the Wales Cathedral so lively as last year, when you held your holiday banquet there.
You travel with sundry folk, (Captain). I recall meeting knights and mercenaries, wide-eyed children and grim-faced lords.
Yet, regardless of age or station, all took part in the merrymaking as equals.
It was a rare sight to behold—and while it surprised me, it also roused a desire to learn more about your crew.
Hold this year's feast at the castle, if you will. I would be glad to have such laughter and good cheer grace our halls.
I have prepared many ornaments to adorn this night. There are wreaths, festoons, and a tree.
You may decorate the place as you wish. And should you need help, I myself shall lend a hand.

I learned from a foreign merchant that on snow-laden islands they craft all manner of sculptures out of snow and ice.
So this year I have taken the liberty of decorating the castle with ice wreaths and trees of my own creation.
Heh. After all, if I am to lend my halls for your banquet, as the Lord of Frost I must spare no effort.
If you wish, I can even transform the cathedral into a winter wonderland for you.
But never fear—your guests will not feel the cold. My ice is not so fragile as to melt when the room is warmed.
Oho? Has my proposal intrigued you? Then stand behind me.
Haaaaah!

I came upon this book while searching for something in the library earlier.
It is a simple children's book. Mother used to read it to me on this very eve when I was a child.
I recall Lamorak and Percival pestering her to read it to them once more. Soon after, I scolded them quite harshly.
For a moment, Mother's face seemed somewhat sad. Almost as if she had hoped I would ask her to spoil me as well.
I was in a hurry to become an adult at that time, but Mother wanted me to savor the fleeting moments of my youth more.
I am sorry to have bothered you with dull reminiscences. I should have recalled something more suitable for the holiday mood.
(Captain)... Do not forget to treasure the ones you hold dear today.

Aglovale and Tor

Tor: Happy Holidays, (Captain). I bid you a warm welcome to Wales.
Aglovale: I left the specifics of the banquet in Tor's hands this year, so not even I know what to expect.
Well, this is Tor we're talking about. I'm certain we won't find ourselves bored.
Tor: Indeed. I have done my utmost to ensure that our honored guests enjoy their time here today.
I can assure you that the finale in particular will not disappoint.
Aglovale: There you have it. (Captain), together let us witness what Tor is capable of.
It is a tremendous amount of pressure, but as the organizer, I must not shy away from a challenge. I can assure that you won't be disappointed.
Aglovale: I've prepared a special seat for you as my benefactor, (Captain). I pray you will enjoy yourself to the fullest.

Tor: We are overjoyed to be welcoming you to Wales for yet another winter holiday celebration.
Aglovale: (Captain), I'm sure you've come expecting Tor's preparations to be as amusing as last year's, no?
Having the army band serenade our guests with a euphonious marching song was quite a spectacular way to end the night.
Tor: It brings me great honor to know you all enjoyed yourselves.
Aglovale: Assembling so many vassals for such a grand performance must've been quite the hassle. You truly outdid yourself, Tor.
Tor: You give me too much credit, Lord Aglovale. I would not have been able to do it without your influence and prestige with the people.
Aglovale: One cannot plan an entertaining banquet on authority and popularity alone. You're far too modest, Tor. I insist you take the compliment.
Tor: Ngh...
Though I believe your kind words are wasted on me... I humbly receive them.
Aglovale: Heh, its like pulling teeth trying to get you to accept praise.
I'm terribly sorry, my lord...
Aglovale: It's quite all right, you're just being yourself. Now, escort (Captain) to the banquet hall, will you, Tor?
Tor: Of course. This way, (Captain). I wish you a most relaxing and enjoyable stay this holiday season at Castle Wales.

Alanaan

Was it cold out there, (Captain)? Yer nose is all red.
Good gracious... Look at all that snow.
Hm? No, I don't mind the snow per se.
My joints just start hurtin' when the weather gets cold...
Actually, I don't know why I'm tellin' you this. A youngin like yerself wouldn't understand.
Ahahaha!

Alanaan: Can I ask ya fer a favor, Sun? Pretty please?
The Sun: Sigh... You never think about anyone but yourself.
Alanaan: C'mon now, that ain't true. I'd even say this is the wish of our entire generation.
You tell her too, (Captain)! With a bit of The Sun's shine, we could melt all this snow away in a jiffy!
Why, ya ask? Well, I mentioned this last year too, but the cold does a real number on the joints of old fossils like me...
Aw, I forgot how much you kids love yer snowball fights. Welp, at least I tried.
Woe is me.
Darn it!

Alanaan: (Captain), I heard the news. You're coverin' for Santa Claus since he threw out the ol' back, eh?
I get it. Helpin' out a person in need is a virtue. But don't you think yer forgettin' something real important?
I'm talkin' about a back-up plan. What're you gonna do if a kid wakes up outta nowhere?
Imagine it... Some little angel is asleep in his bed, then he wakes up and sees you.
Bam! His whole image of Santa, shattered!
The Sun: Coward. Just say that you want to be Santa Claus without the extra explanation.
Alanaan: Shhh! Now's not the time, Sun!
But, er, you get the gist...
So pretty please? Can I be Santa, just this once?
I've always aspired to be a jolly, good ol' guy...

Alanaan: Ahahaha! Bring on the blizzards and the snowstorms and what have ya!
I'm not the same man I was last year! All's I need is to put my body through the sauna—
The Sun: Beware, (Captain). This man is attempting to secretly build a sauna inside your ship.
Alanaan: Hey, if you put it that way, o' course I'm gonna look suspicious! And I'm not tryin' to do anything in secret!
Listen, (Captain)... I was gonna come to you after I finished talking with my sauna buds.
After Deliford got super into saunas too, we figured it couldn't hurt to, y'know...
The Sun: Blaming others reflects poorly on your own character. How pathetic.
Alanaan: Urk... Ya got me there...

Alanaan: My, my... This is quite a bit more snow than is comfortable for old-timers like me.
The Sun: (Captain), do you recall him promising to assist with holiday shopping?
You do? Okay, so I definitely didn't imagine it, then.
To think that he'd use the snow as an excuse to break his promise... He's just awful, isn't he.
Alanaan: Whoa, slow down there! I was just grumblin' to myself! I won't be breaking any promises—
The Sun: How unbecoming of a preacher. That is something I do not look favorably upon.
Alanaan: Yeow! Watch it with the flames!
There's no gettin' to her when she gets like this... You've gotta help me out here, (Captain).
Please... I do not wanna be turned into charcoal!

Tonight's a special night, isn't it? Who will you celebrate it with?
If it's not too much to ask, do you mind if I join you?

Holiday party tonight? Well, guess I should lend a hand. Do you want me to carry this?
I know that feeling of putting yourself on the line for your friends. Danger is an occupational hazard for us skyfarers.
But in the face of those dangers, we can still laugh, even if for the briefest of moments. I wonder if we have you to thank for that, (Captain).
I'm a little jealous of your capabilities and compassion, you know...
Heh. No, I'm just mumbling to myself. Come on, let's get excited for tonight.

It's a blessing to be able to celebrate this holiday night without incident.
Heh. But something's missing.
Take a good look at the tree, (Captain).
Haah!
What do you think of the lights? We all did our best to hide this from you.
My electricity provides power and changes their colors.
It turned out pretty well considering how anyone could decorate the tree any way they wanted.
The holiday's just getting started. Let's enjoy ourselves at the banquet.

Brr... It's chilly outside. Are you okay with the cold, (Captain)?
Though I sure wasn't expecting to have to go shopping for ingredients during the middle of a party...
But maybe I should just be glad for the chance to tour the town with you.
The people walking these streets, our fellow crew members back at the party, and you...
Everyone's so jolly. What a wonderful night it makes for.
We'll be back to our usual busy routine tomorrow, so we should make the most of days off like this.
All right, let's pick up some fruit and cake along with the ingredients we were asked to bring back!

I see this year's holy night is as festive as ever.
Between the holiday trees and light displays, it's no surprise that everyone's so excited.
Huh? (Captain), your face looks a bit flushed. Come here a second.
Hm. This feels like a fever and the beginnings of a cold.
We better take care of you. How about warming your body in a nice spring?
What do you say, (Captain)? Feel like a trip to Levin?
I guarantee a soak in our famous hot springs will cure your cold instantly!

Brr... It's chilly outside. Are you okay with the cold, (Captain)?
Though I sure wasn't expecting to have to go shopping for ingredients during the middle of a party...
But maybe I should just be glad for the chance to tour the town with you.
The people walking these streets, our fellow crew members back at the party, and you...
Everyone's so jolly. What a wonderful night it makes for.
We'll be back to our usual busy routine tomorrow, so we should make the most of days off like this.
All right, let's pick up some fruit and cake along with the ingredients we were asked to bring back!

I see this year's holy night is as festive as ever.
Between the holiday trees and light displays, it's no surprise that everyone's so excited.
Huh? (Captain), your face looks a bit flushed. Come here a second.
Hm. This feels like a fever and the beginnings of a cold.
We better take care of you. How about warming your body in a nice spring?
What do you say, (Captain)? Feel like a trip to Levin?
I guarantee a soak in our famous hot springs will cure your cold instantly!

To be honest, all of my memories of this season involve being cold and lonely.
I don't know how to handle being so warm and welcome like this.
Thank you, Captain. Happy holidays.

You've got presents for me, don't ya? Hand 'em over!
What do I want?
Huh? Hmm... Now that you mention it, what do I want?
Ah, well...
I guess I already have everything I want.
Heh heh heh... If I bug you about it any more, you might hit me on the head or something.
But that's not fair! You're supposed to give me a present today!
If you got mad at me for askin', then I'd... I'd... Shut up! I'm not gonna cry!

(Captain), you'd better have a present for me this year too!
Just kidding! I've pretty much outgrown presents!
I'm not a kid anymore, you know?
I'd be the laughing stock of the crew if I didn't stop pestering you for presents.
Hm? You thought the same? Hey, what's that supposed to mean?
What! You didn't prepare anything for today?
Aw, c'mon now... I mean, it's not like I was expecting anything, but would it have hurt to have something on hand?
Aha, you do have a present! Grr, sure had me fooled, (Captain)!
Rgh... I guess the joke's on me this year too!

Yay! Happy holidays!
Hey, hey, (Captain)! Gimme presents!
Huh? You're just giving them to me this time? No strings?
Haha! Whad'ya get me! What will this year bring...
What the! Something came flying out!
Why'd you scare me! It ain't Halloween you know!
Sigh... What kinda crap is this... I shouldn't have got my hopes up...
Huh? There's something else in the box?
Oh! This is the real present!
Dang it! You always get me real good!

Heheh! Happy holidays, (Captain)!
Everyone was calling me over to warm them up with a fireball or two. It wasn't easy getting to them all.
But I guess it wasn't too bad.
Though I wonder if they asked me specifically because they know what I can do. Can't say for sure, but it's nice to be needed.
Aw, this is so embarrassing. My body's getting all hot...
Hey, keep this a secret from everyone, 'kay?
This is between you and me only! Promise me, won't ya?

(Captain), you too? Come to pester me about some kinda gift?
Looks like many of the youngins among the crew have mistaken me for Santa Claus. They were telling me about their wishes just before you arrived.
Children are so hard to reason with... But I think I'm getting used to it.
Thinking of my former journey, I never dreamed that I would get to enjoy moments of peace like this.
My heart may have been covered in snow before, but since meeting you, it has all but melted away.
And that's probably the best gift that I could ever hope for.

Whew. Everyone's finally gone home.
Just like last year, it seems the children still think I'm Santa Claus. I was somewhat able to handle the situation...
But the emotions of those youngins go up and down—dealing with them is quite the feat, I have to say.
Still, what surprises even myself is how I don't dislike playing the role of Santa Claus.
And I believe the one who changed me this much was you, (Captain).
Now, there is still much to enjoy this winter night. If you need help with anything at all, don't be afraid to ask.

Singularity, what do you intend to do with all those spheres of snow?
Haha. I know what you're thinking.
Very well. I accept your challenge!
Hm? What's wrong? You seem displeased.
Though it may be a mere game, one must give one's very best in all things!
What? You understand what Master Uriel meant when he said what he did?
Singularity. You must tell me the meaning of this.

Singularity, have you noticed how everyone in the crew seems awfully fidgety today?
Huh? You mean...
Haha! Ah, yes, I remember now! Tonight is the night of the holy eve!
What an embarrassing faux pas it is that I'd forget. But I shall make things right.
I'll make certain that I'm on time for the gift exchange later today.
I'll prepare gifts that send hearts aflutter!

Hm... Singularity, I have a question for you.
I am noticing an increase in the number of people walking closely together in town as of late. Why is that?
The holy night, you say?
I don't understand. Is it necessary to flaunt so explicitly to others on such an occasion?
Hm? Singularity... Why do you laugh?
Hmph, don't be mistaken. This is not the jealousy you presume it to be. I was simply asking a question.

Is that you, Singularity? You appear before me with blessed timing. I have a request—would you join me on a trip through town?
The truth of the matter is... I am responsible for the shopping today, but I do not wish to go alone.
You seem confused. I shall explain. Tonight is the holy night, which means the town will be filled with couples.
If I go into town alone, I will attract every manner of pitiable stare!
Perhaps I am overthinking the matter, as you say. However!
The more time I spend with you mortals, the more I realize how much importance you place on this holiday!
Pray cease your questioning, and accompany me through the illuminated town.

Singularity, you're acquainted with Santa Claus, correct?
Would you mind introducing us to one another?
Haha, you need not fret. I have no intention of begging for gifts.
In truth, it is the opposite. The more I learn of the holy night, the more I'm interested in gift-giving.
Children are the pillars of our future. Is there naught more noble than showering them with presents?
I desire to know more of the person who would dedicate their life to doing so. That is my goal tonight while helping Santa Claus with his task.
Hm? You wish to help as well?
Excellent. This holy night might prove to be our most exciting yet.
Now let us be off. To Santa Claus!

Happy holidays...
I'm not expecting much...
In the Alethea family, it was tradition for us to give each other really thick books as presents...
So I can't imagine anything other than books as presents...
...
Are you stupid? You don't understand?
But it's okay... I'm not expecting anything anyway...

You gotta be kidding me!
You still believe in the legend of the jolly old red saint at your age? Haha.
Didn't you know those tales are for grade school kids? Snicker...
Hey, what the... Why do you have a present?
Huh? You got it from the old saint? No way! That's impossible!
No wait, but you really did get a present.
This calls for further investigation. Please elaborate on when, where, and how exactly you acquired the gift.
In more detail, please! De-tails!

(Captain), I've grasped an important truth!
What is it, you ask? Why, it's about the jolly old red saint—what else?
Poring over tome after tome has cemented my conviction: it simply isn't possible to receive presents from such a person!
Can you put forward any counterevidence? This year I'm not about to be deceived by the gifts that you offer.
Hm? You've got a present for me?
It's from the jolly old red saint, you say?
No, please hold up! I never said I didn't want it.
If anything, there's a pressing need to investigate. So please, (Captain)...
Hand the present over.

Hum-dee-dum! Why hello, (Captain)! Happy holidays!
I look like I'm in a good mood, you say?
No, I'm the same as always. Please, I'm the shining beacon of hope—the one and only Alistair Alethea.
Just because it's the holidays, I won't go prancing around, like those other commoner children.
Eehehehehe...
How... How did you know I got a present from the jolly old red saint?
Yes, it's true that he paid me a visit while I was sleeping and left a gift by my pillow.
Gasp! Could it be? You've been spying on the old red saint this entire time, haven't you?

Hey there, (Captain)! Bet you're dying to know what I got, aren'tcha? Aren'tcha!
I have in my hand a letter from the red-robed giver of gifts. That's right, a return correspondence left beside my pillow!
Huh? No, I wasn't hoping for a letter from the old saint just to reenact some childhood fantasy.
This is solid evidence. Now I can compare the handwriting in the letter to that of each crew member.
A person's handwriting is distinctly their own. I shall expose the myth of that jolly old saint.
What? Pfft, why do I have to show it to you? Because you want to see the handwriting for yourself?
No way. This is a private piece of mail, you know. It's for my eyes only, nyeh!

Happy holidays!
I always spend today with my Mama and Papa.
All day long, I get to enjoy my family's cooking!
I'm sure they'd both appreciate it if you came along, (Captain). Let's go!

Mama and Papa are asking for you to come over, (Captain).
Seems they really enjoyed your company last year!
Mama's made all your favorites! C'mon and get ready, she's waiting for you!
Papa told me to invite all the crew members along this time! Let's go let them know!
I have a feeling this year's holiday party is going to be a blast! Don't you?

Happy holidays!
My grandpa's coming by my house for a visit today! It's been so long!
We'll get to duke it out like the old days! I can't wait to show him how much stronger I've gotten!
We'll follow up the training session with a holiday party!
You and everyone else should drop by, (Captain)! I'd love to introduce you to Gramps!
Teehehe, it's gonna be so much fun tonight... I'm already stoked just thinking about it!
Well, I'd better get shopping in preparation. Any chance you can give me a hand with that, (Captain)?
I'll treat you to an extra helping of everything as thanks!
Let's make this the bestest party ever, (Captain)!

This year, I followed Mama's instructions and tried making a special dinner to celebrate the holy night!
I've always helped out and stuff, but this was my first time making it from scratch by myself.
It's harder than it looks, you know! There's a lot of secret ingredients involved and tricks to adjusting the heat and flavor in Mama's cooking.
I'm impressed that she's always put so much effort into preparing for the party every year!
Anyway, I think it turned out pretty well, so I hope you'll have some too. Are you free tonight, (Captain)?
Great! Okay, then I'll go and get things ready! Look forward to it!

Wow, look, (Captain)! It's really snowing outside!
Since it never snows in Valtz, this might be my first time seeing so much of it around this time of year!
Do you think it's gonna stay? I hope it piles up so the snow's taller than me!
Then we can make a huge snowman that's as big as this ship! We can make it on the deck—it'd look awesome!
Huh? We can't make one that big?
Of course we can! With the both of us, I'm sure it'll be easy-peasy.
I can't wait! I'm having so much fun just imagining it.
Come on! Snow more, snow more! Ahaha!

How long has it been since I was able to enjoy a winter holiday like this? On second thought, this is probably a first for me.
Although Istavion holds grandiose festivities in its own right, a shadow of austerity seems to hang over the entire event.
I don't get that feeling with your crew. Everyone participates in a rambunctious fashion.
And that's normal? Hm... I find that absolutely refreshing.
Heh. Then just for today, I'll step out of my comfort zone too.
You'll be accompanying me, won't you, (Captain)? I won't take no for an answer.
Haha... Tonight, sleep is for the weak.

As the holy night approaches, the towns grow livelier and livelier.
I never imagined I would be out shopping with just the two us, but I'm learning much about regular society.
However, I find these decorations to be lacking. The ornaments we have at the palace are far and away more exquisitely crafted.
Despite that, there is one thing this town exudes that I never experienced in my entire time living in the palace: a sense of joy and anticipation for the holidays.
I don't know why my heart won't stop pounding. Why do I feel so restless? So impatient?
Let us return to the airship. I feel the onset of a smile, and I do not wish to walk the streets grinning like an idiot.
No, wait. There is no need to take the direct path back. We may as well take the scenic route.
This feeling of holiday cheer is a breath of fresh air. I don't mind relishing the mood if it's with you.

???: Ahem.
Hey. Wake up.
Alliah: Good. You're finally up. I have a present for you.
Oh, don't look so bewildered. Is it not customary to sneak into someone's room on the eve of the big holiday in order to give that person their gift?
I have fond memories of grand galas and fancy balls during this season, but I think I can get used to a more intimate approach to celebration.
Hm? I'm... not supposed to wake the recipient up?
Rather, I should have stealthily placed the gift by the bedside and stolen away? What a peculiar tradition...
I see. It appears the royal tutelage I received has a few flaws...
Then let us execute a redo. Return to sleep, and I shall place the gift and leave.
Come now. Close your eyes and count sheep.

(Right, (Captain) is probably asleep by now.)
(This is enough waiting. This year I'll place the present and leave without being noticed, just like the tradition goes.)
(I hope I chose a good gift...)
Wha— Why are you awake?
You were looking forward to me coming? But that isn't how the tradition is supposed to work!
You did it because I was so funny last time? I see... Well, I'm not opposed to you finding me amusing, but...
But you're the leader of this crew. You shouldn't be deliberately causing yourself to lose out on sleep.
Now get back to bed. This present won't be leaving my hands until I hear snoring.
I'll be watching you until I'm sure you're asleep.

Ahh, this takes me back! I remember leaving stockings on the bed and begging my father for red shoes befitting a princess.
Can you believe he bought me a shovel instead? Gosh, I must have cried that whole morning away!
But I came to love the shovel so much I would celebrate the holidays each year digging away in the coal mines. Proof that I'm a Valtz girl, born and raised!

Ooh! Look at all that snow! Never knew there was so much! I'd heard a lot about it, but seeing it is something else!
I'm gonna try to touch it...
Eep! Ahaha!
Man, that's cold! Startled me for a second there! It's gonna be a white holiday this year!
Say, (Captain)! Do you know how to make a snowman? C'mon! Show me how!

Happy holidays!
Way back when, I pretty much always worked in the mines on the holiest night of them all.
I didn't ever think that I would be here on the Grandcypher and not working.
But you know I do feel a little uneasy not doing anything physical.
Hm... I know! Let me help with the tree!
I'll put the shiniest ore from the mines all over it!

Happy holidays!
Sigh... Yelling out loud helps me forget the cold. Too bad it doesn't last long.
Speaking of cold, Santa Claus flies through the freezing skies in his sleigh to deliver presents, right?
How does his sleigh resist the cold? No, wait. It's gotta be his clothes... I wonder what they're made of?
Oh hey, that gives me an idea! I could probably put his secret to good use in forging the perfect weapon.
All righty. I'll ask Santa himself, and you're going to help me do it, (Captain)!
So let's get to it! Hm... Um, how am I supposed to contact him though...

Oh! Hey, (Captain)! Were you out shopping for holiday party supplies? You sure bought a lot!
I gotta fill up my belly if I wanna have the energy to stay up all night! I can't wait for the food!
Hm? Why am I staying up? So I can ask Santa about his red suit and sleigh. I told you that last year.
I even wrote him a letter this time!
It'd be great if he could tell me how his sleigh was built and how his suit keeps him warm.
And I can't ask him all my questions if I'm asleep, right?
Hey, why don't you talk to Santa with me?
Your insights might help me forge better weapons!
Great! Now we're partners! But first we've gotta enjoy ourselves at tonight's holiday party!

Hey, why don't you talk to Santa with me?
Your insights might help me forge better weapons!
Great! Now we're partners! But first we've gotta enjoy ourselves at tonight's holiday party!

The airship's been looking a bit festive lately...
What exactly is going on here, (Captain)?
I see... You're planning a celebration! Indeed everyone has gotten into the holiday spirit.
Is this how you celebrate the holidays where you're from?
Well, being a wallflower won't do me any good...
So please allow me to join in on the festivities with you!

Come now, Vyrn! Give them back! My glasses aren't for you to play with!
Vyrn! That's quite enough joking for now!
Good grief. Vyrn is a handful...
What is he thinking? Using my glasses to decorate the tree...
And don't just stand there, (Captain). Tell him to behave already...
Hm?
What are you laughing about? Hm? You're saying that all this time...
I haven't been talking to you, (Captain), but to the tree...

Is that a holiday gift list for the younger crew members?
Hoo-hoo. That brings back memories. I once made a request to Santa Claus when I was a child.
I asked for a rare, out-of-print analytical report written in a mysterious ancient language...
But when I woke up the next day, there was a brand new analytical report beside me.
I recall thinking that must have been the best Santa Claus was capable of.
What did you ask for, (Captain)?

Oh, (Captain)? Huh? I have a fine holiday outfit, you say?
That's not exactly what I had in mind... Hm? My back?
What in the... These are tree decorations that got stuck to the feathers of my clothing!
I must have been so absorbed in my reading material that I didn't notice the ornaments falling from the tree!
I'll have to set things right before dinner begins, or the efforts of those handling decorations will be for naught!
But which tree was it? If I cannot even recall that...
You happen to know, (Captain)? Ah, a true savior you are! Won't you please show me the way?
As thanks, I'll sing you a holy hymn for tonight's banquet. Hm? You'd rather not hear it? But why not?

This year's winter celebrations are yet another success. It seems the ship has been thoroughly decorated with a mixture of various cultures—magnificent indeed.
Of course, I also partook in the preparations for this celebration by delegating tasks for the decorating as well as the purchasing of food and props.
As the members of our crew have increased, now we can enjoy an even wider variety of customs and dishes. I believe I have read about some of these before....
But having someone I personally know showing them to me is certainly different from reading about them. It is a very interesting and novel experience.
Perhaps what made it especially enjoyable was seeing our friends' smiles as they introduced what they had to offer.
I consider myself fortunate to be the strategist of a crew that you put together, (Captain), where all of its members can truly enjoy their time together like this.
Now, let's get back to the celebrations, shall we? There is still much more for you to revel in tonight.
After all, your happiness is what holds this crew together, (Captain). I am sure that that is what everyone here wishes for.

That should be all the dishes, I think. Thanks for helping me carry everything to the dining area, (Captain)!
Because my mother passed away when I was really young and I had do all the cooking, I thought I could handle any culinary situation...
But this was my first time making food for so many people. It was a lot more work than I expected.
I had tons of fun though! I got to know all the skilled chefs on your ship while we were in the kitchen together!
I'm a little nervous what everything will think about my dishes. I'd like to think I did a good job...
(Captain), be sure to try some when the party starts!

Santa Claus? What's that?
Do you think he knows a shortcut to Helheim?
I know! Let's catch him! He can get us into Helheim and I can meet my mother!

I couldn't find him this year either... You know, the old man who grants wishes.
So I asked the woman at the chapel to give him a message for me. She promised me she'd tell him.
And would you believe it, I got his reply today! He said that if I was a good little girl, I'll meet Mother again for sure!
So that's just what I'm going to be! Hehe!

(Captain). Have you met the grandpa? The wish granting one.
I heard that he grants good little boys and girls their wishes.
Rackam said if I wanted to become a good little girl, I should follow your example.
So I'm gonna watch you real close and do what you do. Stay close to me until I become a good little girl, okay?

Does the gift-grandpa really fly around the world in a sleigh?
If he does, and I catch him, I'll get the sleigh too.
I bet he knows a shortcut to Helheim...
And his sleigh can go around the world in one night...
With both him and the sleigh, I can go to where Mother is!
So help me capture the gift-grandpa, (Captain)!

This year will be the year I finally capture the gift-grandpa!
How do I plan to go about that? It's obvious, isn't it? With raw strength!
It'll be fine! I'm going to pull out all the stops this year!
Why are you trying to stop me, (Captain)? Huh? If I injure him he won't give us gifts?
Ah, I didn't think about that! Do you have a better plan?

(Captain). May I ask you a question?
Do you find my dark-clad appearance unsuited for the holy night?
No one has told me so, but the thought occurred to me as I was observing the brightly lit winter celebration.
According to a certain town's legend, it seems there is a Santa Claus in dark clothing who disciplines the bad children.
I would feel terrible if I made any children who know of this tale cry.
I did consider stripping myself of my armor and going unclothed, but...
I was simply joking. Please don't look at me in that way.

Happy holidays, (Captain). Are you enjoying this special evening?
I was just helping decorate the tree. As you might guess, my stature was indispensable in the matter.
Do you remember what we spoke of last year? That I'm worried my dark-clad appearance may be frightening to young children?
It was nothing but a baseless fear. I may even have been using that as an excuse to remain cautious and keep a distance.
Indeed. I must show my gratitude to the crew members who so graciously invited me. I feel I've learned an important lesson from this.
In a manner of speaking, I am the recipient of a splendid holy night gift. Or perhaps I am overstating things, hehe...

Happy holidays.
Today we're having a party for everyone, aren't we?
Let me and my cloud take care of the high decorations!
Hmm? What is it, cloud? What are you doing? Haha! That tickles!
Ehehe. My cloud sure is ready for fun today!

Tonight is a special night, isn't it? So are you going out tonight?
Hmm? You want to know why I'm asking? I guess it's because I'm not really doing anything right now...
I was wondering if maybe you wanted to spend some time with me tonight.
What? You do?
Yay yay! So is this a date, then? Yay, a date, a date!
A date with (Captain)! Hehehe. I better go pick out something to wear!

Zzz... Mmm...
Thank you... presents... Santa... beard... so fluffy...
Hmm? Oh, it's you.
Present? It's already here... What are you going on about? See? Right over there—
I-it's gone! How? I know Santa gave me a present for sure!
Wait, you were just hiding it behind you? Sheesh... don't scare me like that.
Hee hee, a present... I wonder what it could be?
Don't you wanna know too, (Captain)? Let's open it together!

Hey, do you think Santa will come again this year too?
I want to see him and say thanks.
If he's coming, then all I have to do is stay up to meet him, right?
Yawn... Um... The Sandman's effects are...
Zzz... Zzz... Hehe... Thank you...
Hm? Oh hey, (Captain). Did Santa leave already?
I see... Well at least I got to say thanks... I'm going back to bed. Good night.

Zzz... Zzz...
(Captain) awakens from a deep sleep to find Andira nearby, slumped onto the bed.
There is a damp towel in Andira's hand. It seems that she fell asleep while caring for (Captain), who was down with a cold.
(Captain)... This party... So much fun...
What a big cake... Let's split it, 'kay...
(Captain) smiles, imagining the delightful dream Andira is in.
Outside, snow falls silently against the window. (Captain) reaches for a blanket and lays it gently over Andira's small shoulders.

Happy holidays!
I think you and I were destined to spend this season together.
Why, just look up at the sky. The stars are shining brightly for us. They want us to be happy!
You have no idea what I'm talking about? I'm just practicing for when I meet my princess!

Happy holidays.
Hark, can you hear those sacred melodies? It's as if we're being blessed!
Take my hand and dance with me, Princess!
How was that?
Do you think I've become more beguiling and romantic in my princely capacity compared to last year?
But still my fair princess has yet to appear... Sigh...

Isn't this a splendid party? Witness how the flickering candle flames are akin to twinkling stars in the evening sky.
Amongst the radiance of these celestial bodies, would it be rude of me to abscond with one? Just one.
The celestial that is you.
...
How was that, (Captain)? This year I've got my lines down pat!
Then me and my darling will sneak away from the party.
The fated winter night has come!
I'll surely meet the princess of my dreams tonight!
Hm? What are we going to do after we leave the party?
Um... Actually I haven't thought that far ahead yet.

Why, you're quite the sinful captain, aren't you? First you steal my heart, and now you're already making the next move.
But it's fine. Because my heart...
And every other part of me is all yours for the taking!
(Epic delivery.)
How 'bout that, (Captain)? I think I'm getting better at this.
Huh? There's a party with the crew coming up?
Hm, as much as I enjoy being an escort on this special night...
A prince must prioritize his bonds with his fellow crew members.
I've made up my mind. Let us attend the party, (Captain)! Fun times do not wait for anyone!

Hello, (Captain)! Glad to see that the party is a success!
The smiles of people enjoying the food and conversation are as beautiful as the sparkling ornaments on the tree...
I shall take it upon myself to ensure that you have a splendid night!
Hm? Don't I want to practice escorting princesses this year, you ask?
Yes, practice is important, but I can't possibly go off to do that when our crew is holding a celebration.
I want to be a prince, but enjoying this time with everyone in the crew is also meaningful to me.
Right now, this is my priority!
But since you brought it up, would you like to be my practice partner after this?
Spending this winter night with you is something I absolutely can't give up on.
So get ready, all right? I guarantee you'll be spellbound by my princely capacity when I escort you later tonight!

Season's greetings! Everyone in town gets so excited around the holidays!
Before I was called to duty, every year I would spend the holidays with my family.
I remember the holiday cookies were to die for...
Hm? No, I didn't mean that you should go and make some for me or anything! Honest!

This is our second holiday season together!
So let's get dressed up and go out into town!
Heheh... When you and I stand together like this, we almost look like...
Wait! Never mind!
Hm? What's that you say? You got a table reservation at that pastry place?
That's incredible! Don't tell me... You remembered what I told you last year, didn't you?
Aw! You had me fooled acting all nonchalant!
Heheh! You're a doll! Now let me pinch those cheeks! Pinch pinch pinch!

So this place is your favorite this time of year, right, (Captain)?
It's quite nice! Sitting here on this hill and looking down at the lights in the town below...
With the blanket of snow all around, it looks completely surreal! I'm quite enjoying it here.
Hm? You have one more place you want to go after this? A store that sells strawberry pastries, huh?
You don't really think that buying me some strawberry snacks will get you on my good side, do you?
As if! Heh-heh-heh!
But I'm very pleased! Now let me smush your cute little cheeks!
Smush! Smush! Smush!

La-lalaa. There we are. Decorations are all set.
It's a pity that there's a snowstorm out today, but sometimes it's nice to spend a cozy night indoors.
Hm? What's that box you have there?
S-strawberry cake! My favorite!
How did you know? Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Ahem. Actually, I too have a present for you.
Ta-daa! A hand-knitted wool cap! It even has a fluffy little ball on top! Isn't it cute?
Mhm! Suits you well! As expected!
It's made from the best, warmest wool one can find. Do you like it?

Welcome to my humble abode! Come join me inside.
It truly is a shame that our plans to enjoy an evening excursion were disrupted by a raging blizzard.
Though I suppose spending this holy night lounging indoors can prove to be enjoyable in its own right.
Well then, an occasion such as this one calls for a nice knitted blanket! Come a little closer...
Hehehe! A fine, fluffy bundle of warmth we make!
Hmm? Is that a box in your hands? Could that be a present for me?
How marvelous! A strawberry cake! Did you prepare this for my sake?
What a thoughtful present from a thoughtful person! You must allow me to provide a show of appreciation in return!
Hold your mouth open and say "ahh"! Come now, do it quickly!

Season's greetings! Everyone in town gets so excited around the holidays!
Before I was called to duty, every year I would spend the holidays with my family.
I remember the holiday cookies were to die for...
Hm? No, I didn't mean that you should go and make some for me or anything! Honest!

This is our second holiday season together!
So let's get dressed up and go out into town!
Heheh... When you and I stand together like this, we almost look like...
Wait! Never mind!
Hm? What's that you say? You got a table reservation at that pastry place?
That's incredible! Don't tell me... You remembered what I told you last year, didn't you?
Aw! You had me fooled acting all nonchalant!
Heheh! You're a doll! Now let me pinch those cheeks! Pinch pinch pinch!

So this place is your favorite this time of year, right, (Captain)?
It's quite nice! Sitting here on this hill and looking down at the lights in the town below...
With the blanket of snow all around, it looks completely surreal! I'm quite enjoying it here.
Hm? You have one more place you want to go after this? A store that sells strawberry pastries, huh?
You don't really think that buying me some strawberry snacks will get you on my good side, do you?
As if! Heh-heh-heh!
But I'm very pleased! Now let me smush your cute little cheeks!
Smush! Smush! Smush!

La-lalaa. There we are. Decorations are all set.
It's a pity that there's a snowstorm out today, but sometimes it's nice to spend a cozy night indoors.
Hm? What's that box you have there?
S-strawberry cake! My favorite!
How did you know? Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Ahem. Actually, I too have a present for you.
Ta-daa! A hand-knitted wool cap! It even has a fluffy little ball on top! Isn't it cute?
Mhm! Suits you well! As expected!
It's made from the best, warmest wool one can find. Do you like it?

Welcome to my humble abode! Come join me inside.
It truly is a shame that our plans to enjoy an evening excursion were disrupted by a raging blizzard.
Though I suppose spending this holy night lounging indoors can prove to be enjoyable in its own right.
Well then, an occasion such as this one calls for a nice knitted blanket! Come a little closer...
Hehehe! A fine, fluffy bundle of warmth we make!
Hmm? Is that a box in your hands? Could that be a present for me?
How marvelous! A strawberry cake! Did you prepare this for my sake?
What a thoughtful present from a thoughtful person! You must allow me to provide a show of appreciation in return!
Hold your mouth open and say "ahh"! Come now, do it quickly!

Oh, um, (Captain)? Isn't the holiday season wonderful?
Listen, um, every year I usually celebrate with just Nightmare and I...
B-but this year, I was wondering if maybe... (Captain), would you like to spend the holidays with us?

Anna: It's the holiday season, so...
I, umm, have a gift for you!
Because... it's been really cold lately. A-and I thought you might like to feel warm...
Nightmare: You better not go catchin' a cold now!
Anna: I... I knit this sweater for you... I hope you like it...
You do? Yay! Aaah...
Eep! Sorry, that made me so happy...

Ah, (Captain)! That's the sweater I gave you last year!
You're wearing it!
Th-this makes me so happy!
I'll knit you a nice hat to go along with the sweater!
I hope it helps you keep warm, (Captain)...
Teehee...

(Captain), happy holidays.
I-I'm so happy you're wearing the present I gave you.
Th-this year I... uh...
Yeah!
Uh, uh... I-if we stay close, we'll be warmer...
You told me that it's toasty when you're near somebody, (Captain)...
Are you warm? G-good...
It's, um, cold out, so... Let's heat each other up.

Anna: Um... (Captain)? What's that bag in your hands?
Huh? I-it's a present for me?
Wow... A sweater and a hat! They match the ones I made you!
You made these for me? Th-thank yoouuu!
Nightmare: Now that's an awesome gift!
Anna: I-I'll treasure this forever and ever! Hehe...

I sure hope the holiday party is a success!
Drinks: check. Food: check. One juicy turkey: double check!
Hm? The tree?
Ah!
Um... Well, uhh... Of... Of course it's ready!
Look! A special spirit tree!
C'mon, let's put the ornaments on it together!
Hm? Dishonoring the dead?
What're you talking about! They don't mind! My spirits love being decorated!
Come on! Hurry now! I can't wait to wow everyone with this one-of-a-kind spirit tree!

(Captain)! Happy holidays!
What am I doing? I'm decorating my spirit tree.
You remember that's what I did last year too, right?
Everyone loved it, so this year I decided to do the same thing again.
Hehe! And this year, I'm going to be even more fancy with it!
I hope you get the chance to see my spirit tree!

Oh, (Captain). Did I wake you up?
Hm? What am I doing? Can't you tell? I'm being Santa!
I mean, it's the holiday season.
So I thought I'd leave a present by everyone's pillows, just like Santa.
That being said, happy holidays, (Captain)! This one here's from me to you. Don't be shy—take it!

Morning! Did you get a good night's sleep?
Oh, that box in your hands... Did you figure out what it is?
Yep, a present from me! I left it by your pillow last night. Was it a nice wake-up surprise?
You looked real cute while you were sleeping, by the way. Kind of reminded me of Grea... Hehe!
I have to go get the food ready for tonight's party, so I'll see you later. Your taste buds are going to be in for a treat!

Hey, (Captain)! Just the captain I wanted to see!
It's the most wonderful time of the year, and I need some gifts for Grea and Owen.
I've been thinking for days, but I still can't decide on anything.
Can you help me pick out presents for them?
Like they say, two heads are better than one!
Choose: Sure.
Thanks! Come on, let's hit the shops.
By the way, I'm getting you something too, so I hope you like it.
Hm? You want to know what it is?
Too bad! It's a secret!

Happy holidays, (Captain).
Heh heh... Tonight is quite the auspicious occasion.
There's an old tale about this important night. Have you heard it, (Captain)?
In ages past, two countries feuded with each other.
Their conflict stretched across the years...
Only on this festive night did they lay down their weapons and sing songs of celebration.
On a night like tonight, we remember. Deep down inside, none of us desire conflict.

Season's greetings, (Captain).
Did you get a present from Santa yet?
Heh heh, I sure do hope it's something nice.
Bringing presents and smiles to everyone—truly an admirable man, Santa.
Spreading happiness and joy to others... It's not so hard if you think about it though.
You don't have to do anything big. Just a small gesture can be enough to show someone you care.
Maybe if everyone were like that, then peace could come to this world...
My wish this year is for our days ahead to be blessed with smiles and happiness.

Happy holidays, (Captain).
Haha... Do I look that happy?
Actually some children saw my mustache and thought I was Santa.
I am honored to have been mistaken for such a great man.
Haha... Then I moved my mustache a little and the children frolicked about happily.
That is what I must protect—the smiles of the children.

Happy holidays, (Captain).
Haha. It seems you've been quite busy with decorating for the holy night.
I, too, took on the challenge of putting up ornaments on the tree together with the children.
The children seemed to be having trouble with decorating the top of the tree, so I used my spear to hook the ornaments on.
Apparently they were quite impressed and even gave me a round of applause. I must say, that made me rather happy.
I never thought the spearsmanship I learned in order to exercise control would someday bring such joy to innocent children...
Ah, it seems another child is having trouble with the ornaments.
That would be my cue to step in. Looks like it's going to be an exceptionally lively night this year.

It seems many people are touched by the beautiful sight of snow on this holy night. It gives them a special kind of warmth.
However, I'm afraid a white holy night does not evoke such pleasant memories for me.
When I was young, the holy night on the year my parents passed away was a snowy one like this.
I was fortunate enough to have adults and friends in similar circumstances close by...
But the reality of never being able to spend another holy night with my parents penetrated my soul, freezing it just as the snow freezes its surroundings.
Even after many years, memories and feelings from your childhood still come rushing back... They don't fade so easily.
I'm sure people have different feelings when it comes to this night.
But I pray that at least tonight will be one that can give everyone peace of mind.

Happy holidays.
You know... I like noise and excitement, but right now I just want to spend the evening in silence...
That's why I made sure we were alone. Just me and my precious (Captain)...
Hey. Wanna spend the rest of today just like this? Together?
Wha? You do? R-really?
Ngh... No! I knew it! It's too embarrassing... Huh? You were just making fun of me?
Don't do that!

It's snowing... No wonder it's so cold.
Is it okay if I inch a little closer to you, (Captain)?
I'm not really dressed for this weather...
Can you... help keep me warm, (Captain)?
Eeep! A-are we cuddling already?
Aagh... I did say to keep me warm, but this is...
Aah! N-no! I-I can't... Ngh!
Hm? Am I blushing? That's because you were snuggling up against me...
Ngh, (Captain). I'm not cold anymore, so give me some room, okay?
Otherwise, I won't be able to handle it...

(Captain), happy holidays!
(Captain), do you have any plans for tonight?
If you don't, why not go to a party with me?
But wait... You probably can't becau—
Huh? You can?
Thank you, (Captain)!
Hehe... I get to have you all to myself on a night like this... What a dream...
Let's make the most of tonight, okay?

Oh, (Captain). There you are.
Me? I was looking for you.
Isn't it natural to want to spend such a special night with the person most important to me?
Yes. You heard me correctly.
You know how I feel about you already, don't you?
T-that's why, um... If you're willing, why don't you join me in my room tonight?
A-and we can have a party, just the two of us.
(I actually said it... But I had to if I want us to go any further together...)
(There's no turning back now. I-I can do this!)
A-anyways, I'll be waiting in my room!
U-um... You can join me whenever you want, but only if you want to, of course!

"Everyone appreciates seeing a cute Santa outfit"... Hmm.
Still, wearing one would be so embarrassing.
But if it'd make (Captain) happy...
Huh? (Captain)! Since when did you get here?
Hm? What am I reading? Oh, uh... That's a secret.
Um, (Captain)... This might sound strange but... can I ask you something?
What do you think about me putting on a cute Santa outfit?

  • Choose: You'd look charming.
    (Ngh... (Captain) said I'd look charming...)
    (Guess I have no choice now but to wear one!)
  • Choose: I wanna see!
    (I didn't think (Captain) would say that... Looks like the book was right after all.)
    (I guess I'll have to wear one now!)

Thank you. I'll put your answer into consideration.
By the way, you won't be able to take your eyes off me at the party tonight, (Captain).
So get ready, all right?

Aoidos

Oh, it's you, (Captain). I was just writing a song for the holiday season. I've been trying to come up with some lyrics, but maybe you can assist me.
Purge this night of its silence. Punish the corrupted trees with gentle decoration. For in my heart, the red rose of snow blossoms this night.
What do you think? You can be honest with me. Wait, why are you running away?

Heh. I just went into town with Vermillios. While we were there, something unimaginable happened.
Some children on the street pointed over to me. Then they yelled out the title of my newest song.
You'd never imagine you'd have that kind of impact on people. I even thought that song would be hard for children to understand, but I'm starting to get a sense of their talents.
You want to know the name of my new song? All right. It's Thunder Claus. Yeah, the one with the white bag.
You know, you seem pretty interested in the song. All right, I'll let you hear it.

I have returned, (Captain). Vermillios and I were out to town buying supplies. We even dropped by a chapel on the way.
But upon hearing the children's hymns, our hearts were lit afire. We could not help but join in.
Humph. The priest was absolutely enraged by us, however.
We barely made it out of there.

Ah, (Captain). Would you kindly lend me your ear?
I was thinking about delivering gifts to all the kiddos in the crew.
I've already picked everything out, but I can't decide who to give what to.
Check this out. Who do you think would want a sunlight stone? Or this ancient relic and an island's ownership?
Hm? You look thunderstruck. All of these came from gig signing-bonuses.
You think toys would be a safer bet? Let me get a sound check from Vermillios and the others.

Ah, there you are, (Captain). Think I could join you for a bit? Seems my bottle's gone dry.
What kind of bottle you ask? It's leftover from the beverage I brought to tonight's feast. Used to drink it when I was flying solo.
Vermillios wanted to try it, so I picked some up. But he was defeated after a sip.
I guess this is pretty potent stuff, but that's no excuse. I can drink glass after glass.
Oh, but that's right... You're not of age yet. Guess I'm still drinking alone tonight.

What comes to mind when you think about holiday music? I imagine it depends on the person.
Young people think of lighter songs, the older generation thinks of solemn classics. What do I think of?
Well... Why don't I play some for you?

I hope my song may please the gods on this most holy night.
Hm? You made gingerbread cookies? There might not be enough to go around?
...
All right, performance is over. Where were those cookies again? I see. Excuse me, I'll be right back.

Looks like it's the season again. Time for another song for the gods.
Don't worry, this year I'll follow the song all the way through. I made sure to eat before I start.
Hehe. I actually asked the cook to slip me a couple of bites just now.
What? Cheating? This is for the gods after all. Some rules have to be bent if need be!

Okay, now for the twelfth song...
Haha... I can keep going. I need to stay focused on something, or I won't be able to stand the wait.
I was so surprised coming to this town. I'd never considered such a way to enjoy the festivities.
I can already picture the juices leaking from its plump, well-done body as I sink my teeth into it...
I don't think I can bear the wait for the roasted pig much longer...

Oh, (Captain)! What are you doing still up at this time?
Me? I suddenly got the urge to play my lyre...
So I came out here to strum a few notes by myself.
If you're not busy, would you like to listen to me play something?
It'd be nice if there was somebody here to listen...
Hehe, thank you. Then this will be a special performance that's only for your ears, (Captain).
Hmm, let's see... I'll name this "A Holiday Carol Just for You." What do you think?

Happy Holidays, (Captain)!
After taking on jobs as a knight-in-training, I've been able to save up some money little by little.
So this year, I bought warm blankets for not only the kids at the orphanage, but for the sister too!
She always gives us kids her warm clothes when winter rolls around, so I wanted to make sure she was nice and toasty this year.
I'm still a long way from becoming a knight captain, but I wanted to do what I could in the meantime.
I'm not gonna be a kid forever, you know!
I'll keep getting stronger, become a captain, and then I'll be able to make everyone happy, just like Santa!

Guess what, (Captain)! I'm gonna be Santa tonight!
That being said, I'm just gonna be sneaking presents under the pillows of the younger White Dragons.
I told Vice-Captain Vane that I wanted to do something to make the night a little more festive, and he agreed to let me handle it!
Hehe. After all, I couldn't be a role model to the others if I kept getting presents from him forever.
You're surprised he gave me the job? Now that you mention it, this is basically like him giving away the secret...
Until now, Vice-Captain Vane was always acting as our Santa behind the scenes...
You don't think he found out that I know the truth, do you?
But if I ask him to make sure, I'll be giving it away... Then again, if I don't ask, I'll just keep wondering...
Arghhh! (Captain), what do I do!

Hey, (Captain). There's something I wanted to talk to you about...
I asked Vice-Captain Vane about the whole Santa thing before the holidays this year.
He laughed and said that he gave me the role because he thought I'd be a good Santa.
That made me really happy to hear! I'm gonna give it my all again this year so I can be the ultimate Santa!
The vice-captain also told me that I should work on moving stealthily if I wanna be even more Santa-like.
...!
Wait, you don't think someone spotted me last year, do you? No, that can't be...
Argh, now I'm all worried!
Will you oversee my practice later, (Captain)?

Arthur (Event)

Happy holidays, (Captain)!
I don't believe in Santa Claus anymore of course, but there's something about the spirit of the season that gets me so excited!
I bet all the little ones back at the orphanage are going all out with decorations this year...
I'm not so great myself, but when it comes to arts and crafts, Mordred's a prodigy!
Oh, here's an idea! Let's decorate the Grandcypher together!
Stay right here; I'll go get Mordred!

Happy holidays, (Captain)!
This year Mordred and I picked out presents to send to the little ones at the orphanage.
I wonder if they've arrived yet. I'm all nervous about whether the kids'll like their gifts.
I still get excited about holiday stuff like parties and receiving presents myself...
But I guess I'm old enough to feel a little self-conscious about that.
Mordred, on the other hand, seems cool as a cucumber. Like he's not sweating it at all.
But I'm sure deep down, the kids' reactions are on his mind!

Happy holidays, (Captain)!
Um, when I woke up this morning, there was a present by my bed. Did you put it there?
No? Then maybe it was Mordred... Nah, he'd never do that.
Hm... I also found a strand of white hair caught in the ribbon—ah! Could it have been Santa?
Whoa! I can't believe Santa himself came to my room! That's so awesome!
Hehe. It's because I was even nicer this year than I was last year!
I'm gonna go show off my present to Mordred! I'll show you what I got later, (Captain)!

...
Oh, (Captain)! Happy holidays...
Huh? Oh, er... Yeah, I'm doing all right! Ahaha...
Sigh... Guess I can't hide anything from you, huh? The thing is, this present here...
It came this year too. Everyone's laughing about it and joking about how it's Santa again...
But... I saw!
Last night, Vice-Captain Vane had a white beard on his face and was carrying this huge bag...
I'm happy about it, of course! I'm happy, but... I just feel like it's not something I should've seen...
Plus I can't tell Mordred about this...
Aaargh!
I never wake up in the middle of the night... Why'd I have to choose last night to go to the bathroom?

Check it out, (Captain)! I sent Santa a thank-you letter, and I actually got a reply!
Well, I can tell Vice-Captain Vane's the one who wrote it though. The handwriting's the same and everything.
But it means a lot that he channeled his inner Santa while writing me back!
Like here it says, "I ho-ho-hope you become a proud knight of Feendrache someday!"
Eheh, guess this means I'll have to start training even harder!
I gotta say, I'm kinda disappointed the letter didn't come from Santa himself...
But I'm gonna be mature about it. 'Cause either way, I'm lucky to have someone cheering me on!
And honestly, this might be the most memorable gift I've ever gotten. Thank you so much, Vice-Captain Vane!
Heh. If I thanked him directly he'd know I figured it out, so I decided to say it to you instead!

Arthur and Mordred

Arthur: Oh, (Captain)!
Mordred: Happy holidays!
Hm? This package?
Arthur: Hehe. It just arrived this morning. Presents from the sister at the orphanage!
Mordred: Geez... I told her we're not kids anymore. We don't need presents!
Arthur: I don't want to put her to any trouble either, but...
It does make me happy.
Mordred: ...
I didn't say I was unhappy about it.

Arthur: Happy holidays, (Captain)!
I hope you like these ornaments we made for you!
Mordred: We kinda went overboard when we were making ornaments for the little ones of the orphanage.
You might not like how kiddie they look, so you don't have to keep them or anything...
Arthur: Wait, you want to know how we made these? Ah! I bet you're gonna decorate the whole ship with them!
Woo-hoo! Did you hear that, Mordred? (Captain) approves!
Mordred: Uh... That doesn't mean anything if our swordsmanship isn't up to par.
Arthur: Yeah, you say that, but you're actually really happy on the inside! You can tell by looking at his ears—
Mordred: Okay, okay! I admit it! I'm real happy (Captain) complimented our ornaments!
So... If you'll come with me, I'll teach you how to make them.

Mordred: Come on, I was just worried about you. You sure you're okay?
Arthur: Why don't you worry about yourself? You don't even know if you picked the right thing!
Mordred: Wha! I told you I...
Arthur: Oh, (Captain)!
Mordred: Happy holidays.
Oh, it's nothing! We're not fighting or anything. We were just getting ready for tonight's party...
We're supposed to be exchanging presents with Cruz, Tornelio, and the others at the party.
So we each prepared a gift by ourselves...
Arthur: But Mordred keeps asking what I decided to get for my present.
Mordred: I told you, I was just worried whether you were doing okay!
We always do this kinda thing together, right? So I wasn't sure if you were okay getting it ready by yourself...
Arthur: I'm fine! I'm totally fine by myself! I don't know about you though!
Mordred: What? Of course I'm fine!
Okay. If that's how it's gonna be, then let's make it a competition. You and me.
Arthur: I'm in! Whoever picked the better present wins!
Arthur & Mordred: And that's gonna be me!

Arthur: Oh, (Captain)! Did you come to check on us in the kitchen?
Mordred: Don't worry, everything's going fine. I did some cooking once in a while back at the orphanage to help out the sister.
That said, my skills don't have anything on Vice-Captain Vane's.
Arthur: The vice-captain is seriously amazing! That food he whipped up at the encampment the other day was crazy tasty!
Mordred: Word has it he trusts his sixth sense when it comes to seasoning. He really is in a league of his own.
Arthur: Hey! Think I could season like that if I just followed my gut too?
Mordred: Whoa, don't you dare. Cooking is like training—unless you have the basics down, it's not going to turn out well.
Arthur: Huh... Guess the basics are pretty important. In that case, I'm gonna use today to follow the recipe and gain some experience!
Mordred: Except you're already trying to add sugar to the soup! You've got to read the labels!
Arthur: Whoops! My bad!

Arthur: It's snowiiing! Look, Mordred! It's really coming down!
Mordred: Yeah, I can see that without you yelling it at me. Still, it doesn't usually pile up this much.
Arthur: These are perfect conditions for a snowball fight! (Captain), let's all have one together!
Mordred: Then I get to be on (Captain)'s team!
Arthur: Hey, no fair! I wanted to team up with (Captain)!
Mordred: Too bad! I said it first, so you're out of luck!
Arthur: Grr, time to switch to plan B!
Cruuuz, Torneliooo, Henryyy! Join my team for our snowball fight!
Mordred: Hey, Arthur! Four against two is cheating!
He's already gone... But it'd be lame to lose with you on my team, so let's do this for real!

Happy holidays, (Captain). Any plans for the night?
Would you mind if I spent the night by your side?
On a silent and holy night like this, there's nothing better than spending it with a good friend and good conversation.

Tonight we celebrate the holiday season with all our precious friends on the ship.
You may have a frigid, wintry fate ahead of you, but we'll overcome it with camaraderie.
Put another way... people can't do much on their own.
I can see the future, and you have a steady, unyielding resolve. But alone... we're nothing.
Heheh... I can tell you want a little more elaboration.
Let me put it this way. There's no better way to spend days like this than with those precious to you.
Heheh... I thought I would be included in that category for you, but perhaps I was mistaken?
Having memories of these quiet times with you is all I need to overcome any challenge the future poses.

Happy holidays, (Captain)! No matter how old I get, the holiday season always makes me giddy with excitement.
The best chefs in our crew have crowded into the kitchen to show off their skills. I just got back from helping out a bit.
And since holiday feasts differ on each island, we'll be sure to see a smorgasbord of dishes and desserts at the party.
A table full of good eats with everyone chatting happily... Heh-heh! I can't wait for tonight!
But I'm afraid I'll have trouble getting a seat right next to you. I have to admit that's a little disappointing...

Cinnamon, cloves, cardamom... I'll need some ginger, too...
Hmm? Oh, (Captain). I was just thinking about making some mulled wine. It's a spiced wine that's served warm.
The warmth from the heat and spices spreads through your body when drinking it—just perfect for winter, don't you think?
With everyone so busy for the holidays, I thought I'd make some. After all, you wouldn't want to catch a cold during this time of year.
Oh, that's right—you can't have any yet, (Captain). It may sound good, but you'll have to wait until you're an adult.
Hehe, don't look so glum.
See, I'll make some chai for you using the same spices.
Sharing a warm drink with your friends for a joyous night and occasion—what could be better?

Oh my, (Captain). What are you doing up so late? You'll run into Santa Claus if you're not careful.
What about me, you ask? Our holiday dinner was so much fun, I can't quite seem to settle down. I thought I'd take the night air to calm down a bit.
I'm so glad we all got to spend such a peaceful night together this year as well.
My only regret is that the seats beside you were so popular, I never had a chance to squeeze in.
But I can't complain. After all, I have you all to myself, now.
If you're in the mood for a little stargazing...
Why don't we shield each other from the night's chill? The night wind won't bite with me by your side.

This is the longest night of the winter season, but it varies by island.
And to make things even more interesting, the traditions people celebrate varies by island too!
Some islands celebrate with festive pastries...
While others prepare massive cakes many days in advance. The food sure varies, that's for sure.
Oh my gosh! Was that the sound of your stomach rumbling, (Captain)?
Hee hee! I'm getting a little hungry myself! I can't wait for the holiday feast tonight!
It sounds like the best cooks in the crew are going to be putting their skills to the test... and we get to enjoy the results!

Happy holidays, (Captain)!
We'll be exchanging gifts at the party today, right?
Hehehe... I'm thinking about giving you one of my favorite books.
Oh? I wasn't supposed to tell you that?
That's right, isn't it... I just got caught up in my excitement.
I suppose I might as well give it to you now, then!
My mother often read me this picture book when I was young.
The cats in town roam the streets on a winter's night... Oh! Sorry, you should read the rest for yourself.
Don't worry about the party either... I have another present ready for you.
Hehe... Just wait and see.

Wow! This tree is so pretty! Look at all the decorations!
There's a lot of meaning behind the decorations, you know!
For example, it's said that candles were first used to brighten up long winter nights.
And these sparkling baubles were crafted to resemble apples.
The ornament you place on top isn't just limited to stars either—it changes depending on the culture!
Oh, wouldn't it be adorable to put a little stuffed kitty up there?
Sorry! That's not a custom from an island or anything...
But cats are known for their climbing skills, so I think it would look natural!

The crew is full of people from all over, and tonight's menu truly reflects that! What a lively party!
It's common to gather with family or close friends on this day... Or at least that's a custom observed on many islands.
Everyone comes together and shares a warm meal to help each other overcome the cold winter!
Depending on the island, there are even islands with a custom of soaking in citrus-infused hot springs.
We know from research that the citrus bath has many beneficial effects, like repelling insects.
The peoples of the past realized this too, and that's why they developed this particular bathing custom!
Each custom and tradition is born from logic or purpose.
We mustn't ignore the ways of the past just because they're old. Finding the truth can be quite enjoyable. Oh, I really sound like a librarian right now, don't I?

And... there we go!
Oh, (Captain)! Happy holidays!
Yes, I just finished putting the last of the decorations on the tree.
I was hanging these red and white striped treats called candy canes near the bottom.
Tales of how this traditional candy came to be red and white vary from region to region...
One says it's a decorative item that brings health, with the red symbolizing blood and the white representing the bones. The cane itself portrays the body that holds everything together.
In my hometown, we'd give the candy canes out to the children when we took down the tree in hopes that they'll be healthy throughout the winter.
I was lucky to get my hands on so many candy canes this year.
After the celebrations are over, I'll pass them out to everyone in the crew! After all, we skyfarers need to make sure our bodies are strong and healthy!

Happy holidays, (Captain)! Did you find any presents under the tree?

Sigh...
Oh! Hi, (Captain).
Umm... I was wondering if I've been good this year...
I'm always bugging you to take me on missions and doing other selfish things.
I'm sure I've caused trouble for Sutera too...
Hm? You think I've been good?
Ehehe. Thank you, (Captain)!
Even if I don't get any presents, I'll still be happy!

I helped with the holiday party preparations too, (Captain).
I think the best parties are the ones where you work really hard to make sure everything goes as planned!
I'm a good girl?
Mm... I don't really think so.
I'm actually a little worried about how I've behaved this year.
So I thought I should at least make myself especially useful for today.
But I'm sure Santa Claus can tell when kids are just trying to get on his nice list...
Huh? You don't think so?
Hehe. I feel so much better hearing that from you, (Captain)!
Um, well, maybe this is kind of a weird thing to say, but...
I think you've been really, really good this year too, (Captain)!
Santa will definitely pay us a visit!
Teehee.

(Captain), if you're not busy, do you wanna help me decorate the tree?
Hehehe... If we do a good job, then I'm sure everyone will enjoy looking at it!
Look, I've got ribbon and bells and white string—oh, and these sparkly balls!
But I can't reach the top to put the star on...
Climb on your back? That might work...
But what if I hurt you! This sounds risky, but here goes...
Wh-whoa!
I was right! Hurry and put me down, (Captain), before your back starts to hurt!
Are you okay? Oh, you're used to picking up heavier stuff when you train...
Whew... Well thank goodness! Hehe...
Anyway, thank you very much! Thanks to you, the star is in its rightful place on top of the tree!

Wow, everyone's having so much fun. I should really join in...
Ah! (Captain)! I'll be going up too for the holiday talent show!
But I don't know if my reed pipe playing is going to impress anyone... Everyone else probably has more interesting talents to show...
Eep! Ahahaha! That tickles, (Captain)!
You sure surprised me! What was that for?
Me putting on a smile is what really matters?
Hm, you might be right... When I see people happily performing out in town, I find myself so entranced!
As long as I enjoy myself, the audience should have a great time too!
Thanks for the advice, (Captain). I'm feeling much better now.
But my hands are still shaking from being nervous...
If you don't mind... Could you hold my hands until it's my turn to go?

Hm, you might be right... When I see people happily performing out in town, I find myself so entranced!
As long as I enjoy myself, the audience should have a great time too!
Thanks for the advice, (Captain). I'm feeling much better now.
But my hands are still shaking from being nervous...
If you don't mind... Could you hold my hands until it's my turn to go?

Everyone seems to be in a festive mood today. Is there a special occasion of sorts happening?
A winter celebration, you say...
I have heard the rumors, but this is my first time seeing a town bustle like this in person.
It is indeed a wonderful sight to behold... I can't seem to find a frown in sight.
A day where skydwellers celebrate in harmony, together with their loved ones...
If you wouldn't mind, (Captain), could you teach me more about this holiday?
I wish to know every detail there is to know about such a wonderful day.
Surely the knowledge will prove useful in protecting smiles across the sky.

Welcome back, (Captain).
Given how chilly it is, I suggest you make your way over here.
This? Truth be told, I was making a holiday wreath.
When I heard that these can banish evil and bring good fortune, I knew I had to try assembling one myself.
I had wanted to complete the task before the holy eve, but things did not proceed so smoothly...
Nonetheless, feast your eyes on it! The shape I've envisioned for so long has finally taken form!
Haha... I am more than just a force on the battlefield. Chances are good that we will get to see my full-fledged wreath before night's end.
Will you join me as I put the finishing touches on it, (Captain)?
May we pray together for the eternal bliss of all in our crew...

(Captain), are you aware of the man named Santa Claus?
I have heard he is a kindhearted fellow who gives presents to the children of the world.
The children, in turn, try to be on their best behavior so they are given one of his gifts. Surely these efforts should lead to peaceful skies...
It would be nice to meet such a man who inspires people to focus on matters other than war and weapons.
You say you've had the opportunity to assist him in delivering presents?
As expected of my captain! So you have also been responsible for spreading holiday cheer.
If it wouldn't be too much to ask, would I be able to assist with the deliveries this year?
Nothing would please me more than to help spread such cheer.

(Captain), I hope you are having a wonderful holiday.
This may be a little forward of me, but I've brought you a gift.
I thought you deserved something nice for the help you gave Santa Claus last year.
You're always so mature, doing the right thing.
Sometimes I forget that you should be enjoying the holy night like other youth.
As for the gift, I picked out a sweater that should keep you warm through these cold evenings.
I hope you find the owl design to your liking.

I hope the holidays are finding you well, (Captain).
There's something I'd like to give you alongside your present.
Here you are—your trousers.
Yesterday, I discovered it on the floor of the laundry area and, upon closer inspection, noticed a hole in the knee area.
I hope you don't mind, but I took it back to my room and repaired it. I happened to have the perfect materials on hand...
Including a large embroidered patch in the design of an owl. It perfectly covers the knee.
I bought the patch some time ago, but never had the chance to use it.
It's nice to see that it proved useful. I think I did a good job applying it too, if I do say so myself.
From now on, this patch will keep your knee safe.
You should wear it for your holy night festivities today. Go on, don't hold back on my account.

Happy holidays!
Teehee! (Captain), (Captain)! Look at this giant chicken I fried up!
My parents sent it. Fried chicken for the crew, their letter said.
The party tonight is gonna be a blast!

Okay, kids! Put those ribbons up on the wall please! Phew, preparations are going swell!
(Captain), thanks for calling me out to your party. I'm having so much fun just setting up everything with the kids on the crew.
The little munchkins fall into line real easily this time of the year. As soon as I tell them Santa gives presents to little helpers, they're all so quick to help.
If you want in on the presents, (Captain), we could use another hand in the kitchen or with decorations.

Perfect timing, (Captain)! Would you take a look here?
Ta-da! I made a snowman that looks like you, (Captain)! And one like Vyrn too!
We've got a white winter, so we've got to make the most of it!
Huh? Is the nose a bit out of place? The real one's like this... Lemme take a bit off here...
Wait, wait! I'm almost done! Stay with me for a little longer!
Please, just a bit!

What's wrong, (Captain)? You look like you could use some help.
Hm? The children in the crew won't go to bed because they're waiting for Santa?
Haha, what an adorable thing to say! Reminds me of when I was a kid!
Why don't you leave the situation to me? I've got a few bedtime stories up my sleeve that should put them to rest fast!
Though considering how energetic the children are here, I'd have a much easier time if you could come with me.

Happy holidays, (Captain)! Here's a present from me!
It's a ticket for a concert we're putting on in that room over there later. I made this together with the children—isn't it cute?
We wanted to give you a surprise. I got the children together a while ago, and we've been practicing some songs since then.
An exciting, special concert for this holy night! You can invite whoever you like, of course. Let's enjoy the night together!

Gah... Everyone's making a racket. Something tells me I'm not getting any sleep tonight.
Interested in tagging along, Captain?
You're one for bright, festive places, and I should be able to get some training done too.
Who're you calling lonely? You're asking for some serious season's beatings...

Ugh... You're back? You came to see me during the holidays last year too.
I don't get you sometimes, but as long as you don't mess up my training schedule, you can do whatever you want.
Huh? What do you mean by you're gonna let me stay?
You're not a baby; you don't need my permission. Besides, you wouldn't leave even if I told you to.
Sigh... Damn it...

What are you doing here? You should be off to the holiday party. Some others came by looking for you.
What? You gonna stick around here for a bit, huh?
Humph. Why not join me for a bit of training then? If I win, you leave for the party.
If you win, then... I'll buy you whatever you want in town—
Wha? You'll make me go to the party too?
Kn-knock it off! Who'd wanna go to that crappy thing... Like hell am I gonna lose!

Here you are. Again. Why don't you just give up?
It's the holiday season. I mean, I couldn't care less, but isn't it important to you? Don't waste it on me.
Hm? Today is important, and that's why you're set on spending it with me?
Wha—what do you think you're saying!
The madness of the season must've gotten to you. That's the only reason you'd screw with me like this.
Will I forgive you if you were being serious? That's not what I—
Argh! Whatever! Say what you want!

Sigh... Always so noisy around this time of year.
Of course I'm talking about you. Nobody but you is weird enough to come and invite me on a special night like this.
Fine... I'll go to that party or whatever, just for a short while.
But I'm leaving as soon as I get a few bites to eat, all right?
Hm? What is it?
Oh, er...
Happy holidays.
Tch... Didn't think I'd ever say something so cheesy. Have I gotten soft or what?

Humph, what is this winter holiday garbage?
You can just forget it. A demon would never seek to honor a saint.
Your smiling faces, gaudy ornaments, and sappy carols fill me with disgust.
The same goes for that smirk on your face. Wipe it off before you speak to me.
Now tell me, (Captain), what is there for dinner?
Fruit punch, chicken, bread, ham, stew, cake...
Wait, cake?
I won't refuse if you insist on bringing that up.
But hear this! I won't take part in any blessings or giving of thanks! The demons will rise again, but until then...
Mmm, mmm. Gulp.
Humph, disgusting. Bring me some more!

Humph, so that tree's meant to celebrate the holidays?
What point is there in decorating a plant like that anyway? It'll only become trash in the end...
Meaningless labor, wasted resources... Year after year people do the same thing, and yet they never notice, do they?
The round golden ornaments, candy canes, candles, ribbons, apples, bell, and stars...
Hm? There's no star on top of that tree.
You mean you'll leave it to me? Didn't you hear any of what I was saying?
Hahaha... All right then.
If you'd like, I can top it with an inverted pentagram. We can make this a very evil holiday, you know!
What are you so giddy about? No, no, you've got that pentagram right-side up!

Pft, Santa Claus... What a detestable being.
He sets out in the night to bring joy to all! What is more infuriating to a demon than that!
Wait. What are you doing with that bag?
Presents to hand out to the children aboard the Grandcypher? Why are you giving it to me?
No, you couldn't possibly expect me to take on the role of that jolly charlatan!
Hehe. You know what? It's fine. I will give them a gift that only a demon could give.
Instead of joy, I'll set curses upon them...
Starting with this doll! And this airship model! And this play-sword!
Oh, but when their little faces light up in terror! Haha! How comical that will be! Ahahaha!

Those annoying illuminations... Glittering and sparkling like that.
They may be entertaining the mass majority of people like you said, (Captain). However...
It's nothing more than the materialization of an idea brought on by an enormous amount of funds and labor. Nothing out of the ordinary, of course.
What I want to say is, there's something that can charm mortals even more without such unnecessary expenditure.
It's simple. Light the candles on the candlestand... and recite a chant in the dark of night.
No need to fear. You can be certain that the demon you summon will be most charming.
What? You already did this on your vacation in Auguste?
Hey, that's no way to treat demons! We're not just fun ghost stories for you to tell with your friends!

What a despicable night…
Why the feasts? Why the lights? Why the laughter of children!
And why, in the name of all that is wicked, would they call it "the season of good cheer?"
Tis the season when shadows reign the longest. It should be the season when mortals tremble in fear...
(Captain), you're about to witness history. I'm going to change the name of this wretched period into something more fitting for the rule of my brethren and I.
I present... "the season of evil despair!"
Hey... What's with those judging eyes? I won't stand for this disrespect!
Tsk... You better change your attitude. How else are you going to appreciate the carnival I'm planning for the season of evil despair?
You're slated to be the first sacrifice to my nights of terror. I hope you're ready.

Happy holidays, (Captain).
You came at just the right time. I was about to light this up.
Apparently, this holiday candle is called an aroma candle.
It seems a lot of people practice aromatherapy as a hobby. This candle gives off a relaxing fragrance...
Hm... This would be perfect for enhancing meditation.
Oh, wait... I did it again, didn't I? I started thinking about how something could help my training again...
Say, (Captain). Would you like to stay here with me for a while?
Having you here would really help. I shouldn't waste such a nice candle by thinking about how I could use it for training.
You'll stay? Hehe, thanks. Let's enjoy this aroma candle together.

Oh. Didn't expect to run into you here, (Captain).
Actually, here. This present is for you.
What was I doing? Choosing what gifts to get everyone else in the crew.
Everyone has their own pursuits and pastimes, so I thought this could've been a pathway into finding a new hobby.
But somehow, each and every one of them led me back to martial arts—I spent so much time shopping too...
You'll help me look? Much obliged. With the two of us, hopefully I won't waste as much time wavering.
And if I could discover a new hobby in the process, that would be the cherry on top.

Ah, (Captain). You came at just the right time—could you take a look at this tree?
I was given the task of decorating this tree, so I tried hanging some candies and ribbons on it. How does it look?
I see. So it looks well-balanced to you? I'm glad to hear that.
I tried to maintain its beauty and harmony to the best of my abilities.
The kind of awareness can also be applied to swordsmanship, you see.
When you swing a sword, you have to be aware of every part of the blade, down to its tip.
There must be a balance between the left and right sides when you make the swing.
When I think about how festivities like this can also relate to the martial arts, I'm filled with intrigue...
Oops, I'm sorry... I connected it to martial arts again. I should focus on enjoying the celebrations.
There are still a few more trees, (Captain). Would you like to decorate them together?

Snow, huh...
The element of water overflows on days like this. As such it's only natural that the sound of the resonance would change.
To be precise, however, no identical sound ever plays on the same day—or even moment for that matter. That's what keeps things interesting.
Tonight is a very special holy night.
Treasure it and make it a night to remember, (Captain).

(Captain). Need something?
You want me to accompany you into town?
Maybe some other time. Right now, I'm not in the mood for—
Hey! Stop pulling! I don't care what day it is!
Why does it have to be me in the first place!
All right, fine! I'm coming, I'm coming! So let go!
Sigh... Why does everyone I know only dance to their own tune? It's sheer cacophony...

...
Oh, it's you. Nothing—I was just taking in the melody of the carols.
I can't bring myself to appreciate all the noise people make on the holy night, but this melodic sound isn't bad at all.
It's no use, you know. I've already decided I'm staying here all night.
You don't have to ask—I can tell by the look on your face that you wanted to take me around again.
You sure are a strange one. I don't see what's so fun about hanging around me...
Hey, stop looking at me with those sad eyes. Now I can't concentrate on the music.
Ugh, fine! You win! Take me wherever you want to go!
Geez... Why does it always end up like this...

You're saying you've still got more in store for us today?
Sorry, (Captain), but I've actually got other plans. I've been asked to play at a secret show later today, you see.
Of course, you're welcome to come listen as a spectator. I'll play a melody that'll warm you right up.
Huh? After the concert? Well, I didn't have anything planned, but...
Say no more, (Captain). Take me wherever you please.

Thought you'd show up. Where are you bringing me this year, (Captain)?
I've figured out that at the end of the day, you end up having things your way anyhow. So I won't even bother resisting this time.
Bothered? Me? No, rather, I'd say I'm impressed.
Because of my interactions with you, what I once took to be background noise stands out as a lot more distinctive now.
You're a strange one, (Captain)... Or maybe I've just been infected with the holiday spirit.

(Captain), if I may ask a question...
Tonight is said to be the most wondrous of nights. Can you tell me why?
Oh, is that so! All gather together to celebrate the act of gift-giving?
Ah, to participate in such a selfless act surely emboldens the heart and spirit.
What a delightful tradition this is. I too hope to participate in that act this very night. Hahahaha...

(Captain), happy holidays.
This year I have resolved to make the acquaintance of the man named Saint Nicholas.
Captain, I must beg a request of you.
Would you do me the honor of being by my side even into the eve?
For this is the night I will speak with the deliverer of presents...

(Captain), what a wonderful evening.
I was yet again unable to see Santa Claus.
For what reason does the saint hide himself and yet bestow presents upon us?
I see. So it is his custom to hide.
Would it be the case that he is bound by some law and is unable to show himself?
Then I was attempting to violate his rules...
I have decided to give up my quest to see him.
A person who strictly abides by their own precepts... I aspire to such greatness.

(Captain), if I may ask a favor of you...
Although I do not usually partake in the tradition of this wondrous winter holiday, I must voice my admiration and respect for the old saint.
You see, I wish to be a recipient of his generous alms and study under him.
However, as he does not make his presence publicly known, I lack the means by which to make my request known.
A little bird told me that you are in good standing with the saint.
If you could pass the word on for me, I would be most grateful.

Wonderful is a ship filled with merry like yours, (Captain).
Mere moments ago, I aided the children with preparing treats for their favorite visitor clad in red.
Their desire to convey appreciation for Saint Nicholas's kind almsgiving was truly moving.
Hm? You claim there is something in my pocket?
I suppose it does weigh heavier than usual... Oh!
This is one of the treats the children made.
I believe I understand... They must have slipped it in when they heard that I volunteered to aid Saint Nicholas.
Truly, their compassion is a sight to behold... I have only praise in my heart for them.

Hyaappy holidays! Yahoo!
Heh heh... Holidays and festivals really are nice, aren't they?
Huh? I'm partying a little too hard?
C'mon, to party like this is the manliest thing a man can do!
You don't get what I'm talking about?
Ha ha ha... No worries. I don't, either!

Get it together! This is no time to be prancing around, (Captain).
Today the legendary beast called Santa is coming for our destruction!
We need you in top shape! We need to get pumped!
What do you mean for what? It's obvious!
We need to hunt down Santa!
Hahaha... We're gonna steal his presents and then sell them for a profit! You like that idea, don't you?
What? What do you mean, "no"?
Get out of here. If I don't behave myself, then I won't get a present?
I-I can't have that! I need my presents...
Gaaah... It's off... All of it. We can't hunt Santa!

(Captain)! Hyappy holidays!
I've decided that tonight all those little tweedle dees need a big boom to keep them in line!
That means fireworks! I won't stand for a silent night!
What? You think the lights in the sky would work well for the occasion?
How dare you! You mean to tell me I might make those good-for-nothings have an even better time?
This requires action! I'm gonna blow them all away!

Hyaaho, (Captain)! Let's go take one of those guys down!
Huh? Who? Obviously I'm talking about an evergreen tree!
We're gonna find the biggest one, cut it down and turn it into a holiday tree!
Then I'm gonna put the shiniest star ever at the top!
It has to be me, because the honors can only go to the brightest man around!
You can go wild everywhere else though! This tree is gonna be a beauty once we're done!

Hyave a look, (Captain)! Roasted this chicken all by myself!
Everyone in the kitchen left it to me. Said I seemed good at burning and charring things!
Tasty, right? I know I can't wait to dig in later. Food always tastes better when you've worked for it!
Hehe, no need to thank me. A true man's always willing to help the crew prepare for a feast!
Besides, a good time for everyone means a good time for me too!
Anyway, I'm off to help decorate the tree. Everyone's gonna be in for a surprise by the time I'm done with it!
Time for the hyappiest holy night ever!

Happy holidays.
I heard Santa Claus pays a visit to good children.
He knows that adhering to virtue, integrity, and honor is truly the most important thing of all.

There will be throngs of people making merry tonight, opening their hearts which would normally be reserved.
But putting that aside, when I see the twinkling eyes of the boys and girls who have been eagerly awaiting this day...
It warms my heart, and I can't help but smile.

So the merriest day of the year has come. I'm delighted to have the opportunity to spend such a wonderful night with you.
The Lumiel Order of Holy Knights has made it a tradition to decorate a tree today too.
And we generally have the captain of our order place the star on top of the tree.
Naturally Captain Charlotta is no exception.
Our tree was pretty tall one year, so I actually lifted up the captain to help her.
Heh-heh... Those were the days.

The market is certainly bustling during the holidays, isn't it? I thought I would go out to buy provisions, but these crowds made that a challenge.
What did I buy? They were selling these exquisite turkeys, so I purchased a couple.
I should be able to feed the entire crew with these. They'll be the main course for tonight's feast.
I also plan to make a smaller portion specifically for Charlotta's little skyfarer's meal.
You want a little skyfarer's meal too? Then I will happily prepare two.

Oh, (Captain)... What are you doing here in the kitchen? If you're looking for a light meal, I can prepare something for you right away.
You smelled something sweet? It must have been the cake I was baking earlier.
I made a cake as a present for Captain Charlotta, you see. I'm just about to go and give it to her.
Would you like to join us, (Captain)?
Heh, no need to hold back. After all, the more the merrier—I'm sure Captain Charlotta would be happy to share.
Actually, I'm hoping to note down what you like as reference for your present next year as well.

Oh? Has the holiday season come again? Back in the military, we always made sure to observe this time of year.
There's a story from the War about how they called a cease-fire in the middle of battle just for this day.
Since then it's been a rule in the military that everyone observe this time of year!

The holiday season always reminds me of that ghastly incident.
It all happened when I first started as a detective. For the first time ever, I accused someone of being a criminal...
But that man was innocent. Moreover, since I was never formally hired to look into the case, I was kicked out for sticking my nose where it didn't belong.
That was a night to learn from...

Happy holidays, (Captain)! I've got another present for you this year.
Heh-heh... It's an object I came across while at a certain antique store. Isn't it strange?
It looks like a person from one angle and a beast from another... Can you figure out the purpose for making one of these, (Captain)?
Truth is... I'm not even sure.
But on silent nights like these, just using your brain to solve mystical puzzles is a holiday present in and itself, no?
Well... I mean, uh... that's what I think at least!

Thaaat dastaaard!
(Captain), lend me an ear!
This morning I woke up and on my nightstand was this note!
I thank you for your present this holiest of nights. Here is a small token of my appreciation.
After reading this letter, I opened the box!
Look at this! A little doll with it's tongue sticking out came popping out for goodness sake!
That dastaaard!
I was saving that pudding for a special occasion! This will not stand!

(Captain), how about a present to celebrate the occasion?
You want one right? Of course you do! Hahaha! I knew you'd say that, so I prepared one for you!
But first you'll have to match wits with me. A word of warning: this is going to be a toughie.
Hah. Don't give me that look. It's just a bit of fun. Rewards always feel better at the end of a challenge.
Let's start... I've been crafting this little ditty for over a year now. Let's see if you can solve its hidden meaning.
"Armor is not scary. Rosey wards stop warrior tears." Your hint is no WORRYWARTS!
I'll give you sixty seconds to solve it, staaarting now! Ooone...
Agh! You solved it already! How did you know it was "minced pie"?
Hahaha! I should've expected you'd get it so quickly.
Well, just as I promised, here's your gift! Minced pie, fresh from the bakery!
I'm so happy you destroyed my puzzle! Truly! That year I spent working on it was worth it! Hah-hahaha!

Barawa: Listen up, (Captain)! You, too, Sarya! I have a great idea!
Sarya: And what would that be?
Barawa: Where does Santa Claus come from? And where does he go once he's done delivering his gifts? It's the biggest mystery of all!
Sarya: I'm not sure if it's the biggest, but it's definitely a mystery.
Barawa: Well, I figured out how to solve it!
Sarya: You did? How did you do that?
Barawa: How, you ask? I'll tell you how... I'll dress Buddy up as a reindeer and go undercover with him!
Sarya: Huh?
Barawa: I'm sure Santa wouldn't notice if one of his reindeers were swapped out for a dog. I know I wouldn't.
Sarya: ...
Barawa: In any case, I've prepared these fake antlers for Buddy, but I can't seem to find him anywhere.
Sarya: Maybe he caught on to your antics and fled. Buddy's quite perceptive like that. I could learn a thing or two from him...
Barawa: (Captain)! Sarya! Help me locate Buddy!
Sarya: I get the feeling that we won't be able to find him until tomorrow... But I guess that's fine! Let's start looking, (Captain)!

Sigh. Oh, you were here, (Captain).
I'm not a big fan of this holiday.
Something happened in my past that I don't like to reminisce about.
I wouldn't want to spoil your fun, so you don't have to keep me company.
Hm? Why are you still here? Oh? I see...
Thank you for staying with me, (Captain).

Heheh! I made sure to do some research into the meaning behind this holiday!
We're supposed to spend it together with the ones we hold dear. Did I get it right?
...
Um, I mean... like, I want to spend today... with (Captain)... Something like that...
O-okay? Phew... That was nerve-wracking. Hehe!
All right! I'm gonna whip up the tastiest feast you've ever eaten! This is gonna be a delicious day!

Hey, hey, (Captain)! Gimme a present!
Wait, what? You'll actually get something for me?
I mean, I was just joking... I can ask for anything? Okay then...
Um, um... Maybe if you held my hand...
Ah, n-no, I didn't say that! Forget it!
It's fine. I'll just think of something else—Wait! Don't!

Happy holidays, (Captain)!
Heh heh! Listen... I just had a crazy idea!
We're going to give presents—delicious cookies—to the children in town, right?
That means we'll be the good kids—excellent kids! And then...
That Santa guy will pay us a visit. Hehe, isn't this the best strategy ever?
It's going to be great to see Santa, isn't it? I wonder what sort of person he is.
Okay, let's go hand the cookies out, (Captain)!

(Captain)! Hey, ever seen one of these before?
Ta-dahh! Gingerbread men! No, don't eat them—I want to decorate the tree with these.
So this is Zeta, and this is Vaseraga. And this is Eustace and Sergeant Ilsa! And here's Cassius and Vyrn and Lyria!
U-um... About the Beatrix and (Captain) cookies, uhh... I did make them but...
Hey, no! Stop! D-don't just take them!
Wehh...
W-when they were baking, they got stuck together... And now it looks like they're holding hands...
I-it's not on purpose! It was a complete accident! I'm serious! S-stop laughing!

Black Knight

It's so silent and snowy tonight... Reminds me of when Orchis and I would wait up for Santa.
I miss those days. But the memories we created give me the strength to keep going.
I suppose children on every island are waiting tonight for him, just as we did.
But I've learned Santa's real gift wasn't the toys he would bring then, but the happy memories we have now.

The kitchen is strangely active.
Hmm? Ah, today is the winter festival? That explains it.
(Captain), you should go enjoy the feast with everyone.
That's an unexpected expression. I will go as well—I have no intention of denying myself these small pleasures.
The memories I build with loving friends are what keep me moving. I have learned this time and time again.

It looks as though it will snow tonight.
There are so many memories that come rushing back as my eyes meet the snow.
No matter how much I change, the snow that falls here never will.
Seeing a world swallowed by the white ice is enough to make even me a bit emotional.
But tonight is the holiest of nights...
I'll find my peace in the children having so much fun.

Oh, it's you, (Captain). Does this garment I'm holding catch your eye?
Sigh... You certainly know how to catch me at an awkward moment.
Tonight is the eve of the winter holiday, and I want to give Orchid and Orchis their presents.
Though I'm sure Orchis would throw a fit, demanding not to be treated as a child.
But giving gifts during this season isn't limited to children. They can be given to anyone that's important to you.
If I'm going to pretend to be Santa Claus, I may as well look the part.
Perhaps my costume will make even the Scarlet Knight feel a hint of envy...
Never mind. That was a stupid joke. Forget I said anything.

(Captain). Do you know who made this cake?
Someone gave me this when I passed by the dining hall earlier. It's not bad at all.
Oho... Orchis and Orchid made this together with the children on the ship?
I see... Then I suppose I'll have to thank the children.
For the cake, and for making sure those two had a good time here.
Hopefully the both of them can have another night like this next year...
Heh... Look at me, getting so ahead of myself.
In any case... I pray with all my heart that the two of them can spend a peaceful holy night next year as well.

Blazing Teacher Elmott

What? You want me to make you roast chicken?
You punk... You think I'm going to do it just because it involves fire, don't you!
Humph... Yeah, fine. I'll make it for you since it's a special day.

Huh? What's so special about today? Humph. I see.
It's cold and it's dark. How can anyone call this festive?
Light up the night and make it warmer for you?
Yeah, I think you got me confused for a fireplace.
Tch. Persistent brat. Fine, come closer.
...

Gyahaha! Burn baby burn! Ohh yeah, there's a good girl.
Huh? Oh, (Captain), it's you. I was just getting the stove ready for tonight's dinner.
I'm thinkin' a nice juicy turkey cooked to perfection. Mmm, roastin' that baby is gonna feel so good.
And somehow my flames seem to be getting into a jolly mood as well. Ohh man, am I gonna enjoy this.

Whoa, what's this? Lemme guess: you tried to make a giant snowman and messed up?
Wha? This is supposed to be an igloo?
And you want me to get in there and help you start a fire?
We do that, and your igloo's gonna melt away.
Huh? You sure about this? All right, just don't blame me when the snow comes tumbling down on us.
Heh, I'm surprised your little snow hut is actually still standing.
(Captain), might as well come closer to the fire if you're feeling that cold. Relax—I like you too much to turn you into cinders.

Hey, (Captain). What're you doin' outside in the freezing cold snow?
A snowball fight with the kids? Here we are on this special night, and you're up to the same antics as always.
Huh? Hey, don't take off your coat just 'cause you're hot. That goes for you kids over there too.
If you're all sweaty, maybe it's about time to call it quits. There's chicken fresh outta the oven waiting for you.
Seems like a good time to start the party. I'll get some hot drinks ready while you change.

Happy holidays, (Captain)!
I guess that means we've got a jolly old man in red coming by with some presents!
I've been really good this year, if I say so myself. Do you think he'll give me a gift?
I know you're a good person, (Captain), so you'll get something for sure!
We'll get our much deserved rewards and make this holiday the best through and through!

Let's have a party, (Captain)!
It's the season for celebration! Where everyone eats and laughs together!
I did my best through and through with the food and decorations! I know you'll love it!
I hope you enjoy it through and through, (Captain)!

(Captain), it's chilly today so be sure to stay warm through and through!
Your holiday break will go to waste if you catch a cold!
So I took some time through and through to make you something warm to eat!
Nothing would make me happier than to see you warm up after a few bites of my hot homemade dish, (Captain)!

Happy holidays, (Captain)!
Look! And look real good through and through! These are snowmen that I made!
Starting from the right, this is Captain Charlotte, Sevastien, Baotorda, and Cordelia!
Hehe. What do you think? I call them the Lumiel Order of Holy Snowpeople!
Next, I'll make a snow version of you too, (Captain)!
Would you like to help make it?

I had so much fun at today's party.
The food was delicious, the games were fun, everyone was smiling... And there were even presents!
Oh... Look, it's snowing! What a beautiful sight.
I got to enjoy myself at a lively party and see snowfall... Today's been truly wonderful.
Hehe. Oh, I hope we do this every year!
(Captain), happy holidays!

Bridgette and Cordelia

Bridgette: (Captain)! We're going to have a holiday party tonight!
Cordelia: Haha, it was Bridgette's idea. Though I did help out with a few things.
Bridgette: I made so much food...
Cordelia: While I thought of ideas to liven up the festivities.
Bridgette: Dear Cordelia will dress up in red and give out presents to everyone!
Cordelia: Bridgette... Weren't we keeping that a secret?
Bridgette: Ah...
Sorry!
Cordelia: Haha, it's fine. Just as long as (Captain) can keep it a secret from the others.
Bridgette: I sure hope you're looking forward to it, (Captain)!

Bridgette: Season's greetings! We're putting up decorations for the party later.
Cordelia: Haha, the flag seems to have caught your attention, (Captain). Bridgette took a lot of care and effort into sewing it.
Bridgette: I burned the midnight oil, hoping that flag might bring the crew some smiles!
But it was Cordelia who came up with the color arrangement.
My dearest Cordelia was thinking about it the whole time while arranging flowers. You have to admit she has great sense!
Cordelia: Oh, stop it, Bridgette. Color choice is so subjective a thing that it's hardly worth bragging about.
Bridgette: Aw, you're blushing. Haha, how cute.
We'll be done soon enough, (Captain). You're going to love it!

Bridgette: I really appreciate the help, (Captain)! Cordelia's on a mission, so she'll be coming back late.
I wasn't sure I'd be able to finish the decorations on my own, but it's a sure thing now thanks to you!
Hrgh... there! The curtain hooks, the ornaments... I can almost reach them...
Cordelia: How's this, Bridgette?
Bridgette: Huh?
Aaah! Cordelia, what are you doing here?
Cordelia: My mission ended sooner than expected.
Bridgette: Yay! That means more time with my dearest Cordelia! It's a holiday miracle!
Cordelia: Bridgette... I believe you're exaggerating, but I'm glad to be back early too.
The decorations are perfect thanks to you two. I'll handle the arrangement of the dishes.
Bridgette: I'll do it with you! The more we work together, the faster we'll finish!
Cordelia: I'll take you up on that. Off to the kitchen then.

Bridgette: Look at the snow! It is piling up ever so high, dear Cordelia!
Cordelia: And you seem to be in even higher spirits than usual! I suppose that the snow reaching these heights has me feeling quite elated as well.
Bridgette: Let's make a snowman! Oh, and how about a snow house with a snow table? We could have a snow banquet!
Cordelia: That does sound rather delightful.
The insides of snow structures are quite a bit warmer than you may think. We should be able to bring plenty of food inside with us without issue.
Bridgette: Exactly! Won't you join us, (Captain)? We'll chat and make merry until the night grows old!

Bridgette: I hope you have resolved yourself! You'll do this willingly, I trust?
I hope you have resolved yourself! You'll do this willingly, I trust?
Cordelia: Bridgette... I still don't believe this suits me terribly well.
(Captain), you must talk some sense into her. Don't you agree that this is not right for me?
Bridgette is holding up what appears to be a sleek, and somewhat sexy, Santa outfit.
It would seem she has prepared it for Cordelia to wear.
Cordelia: I intend to enjoy myself at the festivities, not create a scene. And more importantly...
I would never wear clothing of this... t-taste.
Bridgette: Don't be silly! You'll look simply charming! I'm sure of it!
Right, (Captain)?
The captain, with a big smile, nods vigorously in approval.
Cordelia then sighs deeply, as if resigning herself to her fate.

Happy holidays!
Hey! I wonder if Santa is gonna come visit me...
He'll only come if I'm a good girl, right?

Go to sleep already, (Captain).
You know how important tonight is. I'm going to get to the bottom of this Santa legend.
I'll catch him when he drops by in the middle of the night and make him cough up everything he knows.
Hm? That sounds so interesting that you can't fall asleep now?
Sigh... Fine, I'll put you to bed later. Go to your quarters and wait for me, okay?

Hey, (Captain)! Won't you spend the night with me?
Hm? What's with the surprised look on your face? I thought I'd be your Santa this year.
Why, you ask? Don't you know Santa's supposed to take center stage for the holiday season?
And no one's more fitting to play the part than a super cute girl like me!
You know it's true!
So gimme a hand, (Captain)! Every Santa's gotta have a reindeer after all.
Just be thankful you get to see me in my Santa outfit up close and personal.

Sigh... I wonder if Santa will finally come my way this time...
I've been such a good girl and haven't done a single bad thing all year round.
Stop. I know. You don't have to list all the exceptions.
Whatever. I didn't get to see Santa the year before or the year before that.
Humph... If he doesn't think of me as a little girl, then I'll have to use that card.
We'll have a party that runs through the night!
You gotta mix things up, what do you say?
Adults have the right to have sleepless nights anyways. You aren't going to say no to me, are you?
(Captain), tonight I won't let you get any shut eye!

Ah, (Captain). Ready to join me for another rockin' party this year?
Huh? What's with this box? I see the greeting card inside's addressed to me.
Don't tell me Santa's finally decided to give me a present after all this time...
(Hold it, I know that look on (Captain)'s face...)
(Aah, I get it. This must be a surprise from my favorite captain.)
You're way too easy to read, (Captain)...
Oh, don't mind me.
Can you pass on a message to Santa if you happen to bump into him.
Tell him, "Thanks a ton for the present! Cagliostro's suuuper happy!"
Don't forget, okay? I really want him to know how I feel...

Happy holidays!
Look, it's snowing! I've never seen it snow before!
Back on Auguste it was sunny all year round, so I just kept riding the waves through the holidays!
The water gets pretty cold right about now.
I'd have the waves all to myself!

It's already time for the winter holidays, huh? You can feel it in the air... The town is just brimming with holiday spirit!
Just take a look around us—the night is brimming with excitement!
I used to spend my winter holidays at the beach, so I never had a chance to celebrate like this.
It's all thanks to you, (Captain)! Let's enjoy it together tonight!

Brr... It's cold...
It's freakin' freezing! It hurts! My bones are aching!
(Captain)! You came at just the right time! Could you help me?
Tonight I went to a surfer's event, but it was so cold that it was all I could think about.
Oh! (Captain), you're warm... Stay just like that...
This is great... You feel so good. This is where I should have been this whole time...

Whoa! Look, (Captain)! Everything's white, as far as the eye can see!
It snowed a lot yesterday, and the whole town got covered so fast.
Guess the surfing event this year is canceled though.
So how about this! Let's have a blast in town tonight and enjoy all the holiday festivities instead!
You're coming with me, right?
Come on then, let's go! There's only so much time before the fun's over!

Come on, hurry up! They're gonna close registrations soon!
There's no way we're missing out on those luxury prizes!
You get a bundle of Auguste seafood just for participating, and first prize is a free trip to a fancy resort!
Won't be easy to get that though... This season is when a lot of the skilled surfers are out and about.
But what's most important isn't that! As long as I get to ride some wicked waves, I'll be plenty happy!
Still, on the off chance I do win, let's have us an awesome holy night in that resort!
You're looking forward to it?
Then you better cheer me on so that I can surf my way to victory!

Caim

Caim: Hey, (Captain), do you think Santa Claus might pay me a visit?
I heard from Siero that he gives presents to good little boys and girls.
I hope he'll give me something too...
The Hanged Man: Hm? Caim, waiting for Santa?
Caim: Mm-hm! I can't wait!
The Hanged Man: Father Holiday, eh...
No need to glare at me like that, (Captain). I know when to keep my mouth shut.
Caim: Huh? What's wrong?
The Hanged Man: Nothing, Caim. You've been a good kid, so I'm sure you'll make Santa's list.

Caim: (Captain), today's that special night... Happy holidays.
Hm? No, I haven't slept...
Because I have to say thank you to Santa Claus.
For both last year and this year.
So...
Zzz...
The Hanged Man: I figured this would happen. As did you, (Captain).
Caim: Snore...
The Hanged Man: Snoring already, eh? I'd better take you to bed.
There, there...
Catch you later, (Captain). And happy holidays.

Caim: (Captain), I'm gonna turn in now.
I want to make sure I thank Santa Claus this time around, since I slept the whole night last year.
I figure if I sleep now, I won't be sleepy by the time Santa comes.
So once it's like midnight, wake me up! You too, Hanged Man! Promise!
The Hanged Man: Of course, I will attempt to wake you.
Whether or not you'll be able to get up is up to you, however.

Caim: Happy holidays, (Captain)! Guess what?
This year, I figured out a way to thank Santa for sure!
Look, I wrote him a letter! This way he'll get my message even if I fall asleep!
Ehehe, Hanged Man's the one who came up with the idea.
The Hanged Man: Yeah, well, I was sick of you getting grumpy every time I tried waking you up.
Caim: Oh, come on! I didn't get grumpy!
The Hanged Man: Right. Not grumpy. Just angry then.
Caim: I didn't get angry either!

Caim: Happy holidays! Look at the new board game I got from Santa Claus!
I wonder how Santa Claus knows what I want...
Oh yeah, he even wrote me a reply to the thank you letter I'd written him!
But it's weird... I feel like his writing looks familiar. I kinda like how the letters are shaped...
Wait! Do you think Santa Claus is...
Capable of knowing what kind of letter shape I like too?
Wow, Santa Claus's amazing!
The Hanged Man: Haha. I saw you sweating there, (Captain).
It sure is nice and refreshing to see Caim like he is now.

Cain

Oh, (Captain)! Great timing!
What kinda food do you like? Anything you don't eat?
We're going to make a feast to celebrate the holidays!
You're from Phantagrande, right? From Zinkenstill, yeah?
Then you should experience a holiday feast Nalhegrande-style!
I'll make the dishes with love, so get ready for a little taste of heaven!

You know, every island I go to, I always get the same story about the holidays and Santa Claus.
And of course, Nalhegrande was no exception.
This can only mean Santa can freely traverse across all the skies.
I find it hard to believe he's able to go between skydoms so easily though... Makes me wonder if he might just be a myth.
Wha? You've actually met him in person, (Captain)?
Tell me more! C'mon, I wanna hear all about it while we munch on holiday chow down there!

Hey, (Captain)! If you're not busy, wanna go shopping with me?
What for? Haven't you checked your calendar? We have to stock up on supplies for tonight's holiday party!
Oh yeah, this is probably a good time to mention this too. A lot of food stalls have set up shop for the holidays.
So why not snack on some treats while we're out buying stuff?
We might as well buy as much as we can carry too! Then the others won't get mad at us for missing out if we bring them all something.
Great! Let's not waste anymore time hanging around here! What do you want to eat? I'm sure we'll find some interesting grub between the two of us!

Hey, (Captain)! There you are. What're you doing?
Decorating for the party? Oh yeah, today is a pretty big day, huh...
I guess you're busy then...
Hm? Oh, it's nothing important.
I was just thinking, it'd be nice if we could take a walk around town together since it's the holy night...
But that was a bit selfish of me, since everyone else is busy with preparations.
Huh? You're going into town later to grab some stuff?
Really now! Would it be all right if I tagged along? You could use some hands, right?
Let's hurry up and finish decorating then! Here, I'll help too!

Hey! It's not as crowded as rumors say. Good thing we left early, right?
I mean, the crew's really grown. We're going to have to buy more this year than any other year.
Yeah... Listen, I really am committed to throwing a great party but...
...
The truth is, I just wanted to spend more time with you. Alone.
I didn't drag you out early to get the best cake or whatever. I did it so I could have you to myself.
Honestly, I didn't even think you were going to go along with it. So when you said yes, you had me over the moon.
For the holidays at least, I want it to be just the two of us.
Cause, well... It's the season of love.
Today, I'm not going to let anything or anyone come between us.

Oh, (Captain)! Great timing!
What kinda food do you like? Anything you don't eat?
We're going to make a feast to celebrate the holidays!
You're from Phantagrande, right? From Zinkenstill, yeah?
Then you should experience a holiday feast Nalhegrande-style!
I'll make the dishes with love, so get ready for a little taste of heaven!

You know, every island I go to, I always get the same story about the holidays and Santa Claus.
And of course, Nalhegrande was no exception.
This can only mean Santa can freely traverse across all the skies.
I find it hard to believe he's able to go between skydoms so easily though... Makes me wonder if he might just be a myth.
Wha? You've actually met him in person, (Captain)?
Tell me more! C'mon, I wanna hear all about it while we munch on holiday chow down there!

Hey, (Captain)! If you're not busy, wanna go shopping with me?
What for? Haven't you checked your calendar? We have to stock up on supplies for tonight's holiday party!
Oh yeah, this is probably a good time to mention this too. A lot of food stalls have set up shop for the holidays.
So why not snack on some treats while we're out buying stuff?
We might as well buy as much as we can carry too! Then the others won't get mad at us for missing out if we bring them all something.
Great! Let's not waste anymore time hanging around here! What do you want to eat? I'm sure we'll find some interesting grub between the two of us!

Hey, (Captain)! There you are. What're you doing?
Decorating for the party? Oh yeah, today is a pretty big day, huh...
I guess you're busy then...
Hm? Oh, it's nothing important.
I was just thinking, it'd be nice if we could take a walk around town together since it's the holy night...
But that was a bit selfish of me, since everyone else is busy with preparations.
Huh? You're going into town later to grab some stuff?
Really now! Would it be all right if I tagged along? You could use some hands, right?
Let's hurry up and finish decorating then! Here, I'll help too!

Hey! It's not as crowded as rumors say. Good thing we left early, right?
I mean, the crew's really grown. We're going to have to buy more this year than any other year.
Yeah... Listen, I really am committed to throwing a great party but...

Happy holidays!
What? I should go to bed early because Santa Claus is coming?
Don't be silly! I'm not a kid anymore! I can't believe you...

This is a special time of year, (Captain)! Take this firecracker!
Hehe. I made it myself. Just setting it off will fill you with cheer!
You know, back when I first started messing with gunpowder, this is the kind of thing I wanted to make.
My sister Cucouroux loves this time of year. If she were here, I'm sure she'd love setting off some fireworks.
Anyway, I hope we can all have some fun and celebrate the season together!

Oh! (Captain)! Are you on your way to the kitchen too?
Aye! I thought I'd help out with all the cooking they're doing for the holiday feast.
We've got a lot of crew members who are geniuses in the kitchen, but more importantly, we've got a lot of crew members...
And I can help with the simple things at least! It's time to use the skills my mom taught me!
Besides, I mean... When it comes to cooking, there aren't many surprises to scare you...
Aye! Let's go and give them a hand!

Oh, (Captain)! Happy holidays!
Sorry about the table being a mess and all.
I just didn't know which wrapping paper was best for my present.
Hehe... This year I'm sending mommy and daddy a gift! Me and Cucouroux decided on it!
And I want to make mommy and daddy as happy as possible, so I'm even being really picky with the wrapping too!
(Captain), would you help me pick one? I'm not so sure I know which one of these is best...
Oh, thank you! With your help I feel a hundred times more confident!

Gotta lay low. Gotta be stealthy.
Bah? Hey, (Captain)! What gives? You can't just call out to me like that. Gonna give me a heart attack!
Er. You can stop apologizing now...
Eh? You wanna know why I was sneaking around?
Well, uh... I was thinking 'bout getting Tweyen a present. Brighten up her day a bit, you know?
You bet! Plus, she gave me my present early this year. So this is also a thank-you gift.
I want it to be a surprise but... You know how Tweyen's got a sharp pair of eyes on her?
So the plan's to go shopping—and be real stealthy about it.
And, (Captain). I'd appreciate it if you kept all this a secret from Tweyen.

Hey there, holiday-goer! I made the crew something special for tonight's dinner!
It's no match for a dinner at the castle though! Heeheehee!

Wow, there's so much food here! Teehee, the castle dinners were nice, but enjoying a carefree meal with everyone is great too!
I mean, think about it. You'd be nervous too if you were sitting at the same table as the lord of the castle, wouldn't you? No one uttered a peep!
But someday I'll become a world-famous acrobat, and everyone in the castle will cheer for me!
Ahaha! I can do it, because Lyria's looking forward to my performance!

Teehee! Happy holidays!
You know what? I went out and prepared something big for tonight.
It wasn't easy, but I had enough connections to get in touch with some royal chefs!
Heehee. Everyone's in for a big surprise. Don't worry about money. I've got it all covered!
So make sure you eat and party hard tonight! Peace!

Oops, did I wake you?
Guess I wasn't moving with the catlike tread I thought.
What am I up to? Being Santa, of course!
I've got a present to leave by everyone's pillow.
How did I get in? Haha! No lock can hold the great Carmelina!
I used to dabble in escape artistry, so this was nothing!
And here's your present! Do you like it?
I'm glad to hear that! Well then, gotta visit the next good kid on my list.
Oh, and before I forget...
Happy holidays, (Captain)!

Hey, (Captain). Got a bit?
You know, I'm planning to play Santa again this year.
And I was wonderin' if you wanted in.
The two of us'd leave presents by everyone's pillows—and put a big old smile on their faces!
Don't you worry. I'll teach ya how to pick locks and sneak into the rooms like a regular thief.
So, feeling up to it?

Happy holidays! Did Santa Claus bring you your present?
Glad to hear it! I knew someone as kind as you would have to be on his good list.
Santa paid a visit to the children of Perfetto too! There's nothing more heartwarming than hearing their delighted voices.
He actually inspired me to start secretly placing my own artwork onto the island for others to find as well.
I make sure to do it at a different time of year though. I don't want to steal any gratitude meant for Santa.
Oh, but I did sneak little decorations into various places around the ship today.
Hehe. If you're curious, you should try to find them. I hope they'll help make this special night a little more festive for you and the crew.

Haaappy holidays! Hey, (Captain), let's party with the crew!
As acting captain, I made a reservation at a restaurant for us!

(Captain)! You know how good I've been this year?
How 'bout letting a goody-goody like me be captain for a while? You can make it my present!
Just leave everything to me! No one'll even know the difference!
No? Tch. Party pooper!

Heya, (Captain). Big party tonight, huh? While we wait...
Ta-da! Check out this fancy cake I bought!
Hehe, you and I are gonna pig out in luxury. Sometimes you gotta spoil yourself, you know?
Man, tonight can't come fast enough. It's gonna be the bomb!

Carren's Voice: Sure! Come right in!
Carren: (Captain), what's up? You want to go shopping for the party?
Okay. I'll get ready in a jiffy.
It's cold out, right? I'll need to apply some magic to my socks to keep them warm.
Don't call me a wussy! If I don't do this, I might get frost burn!
You know what! Don't make me say I won't go shopping with you!
Hehe. As long as you know.
All right, let's head out!

Look, (Captain)! See the ornaments sparkling on the tree? I made them!
Heh! Starting to see me in a new light? I have studied magic, you know. It's easy peasy making things like that!
(Hehehe! If I can keep winning people over, soon I'll be acting captain in name and reality...)
(I made a bunch of other ornaments too! I'll hang them all around the ship and show everyone what I can do!)
Wh-what's that, (Captain)? No, I'm not hiding anything at all! Let's enjoy the holidays with everyone, okay?
Okay, back to decorating! If you have time, feel free to lend a hand!

I would like to know why you are hanging curios on a tree brought in from the outside. What is the point?
You say it is in preparation for a celebration. Interesting.
But why choose such an ordinary tree when your goal is to make this room look festive?
A tree that is naturally populated with blossoms would have saved you from unnecessary decorating. You are being inefficient.
Why are you handing me ornaments? Is this your way of asking me to help?
Hmm. Active participation may allow me to understand the reasoning behind this inefficient behavior.
Very well then. I will provide assistance.

You claim that Santa Claus is an elderly man who delivers items to children without seeking payment.
I fail to see why he would give away quality goods for no compensation. It is highly illogical.
On the other hand, it does bring smiles to the children who receive those gifts.
It could be said that the value of those smiles is a sufficient trade.
Or perhaps this is yet another example of an act of kindness.
Fascinating. I would like to meet this Santa Claus someday.

Earlier, I came across children making a strange object by stacking large spheres of snow together. What are they doing?
An activity in which snow is used as a material for making a figure referred to as a snowman... Hm, a convenient and rational way to spend one's time.
Still, the snow is bound to melt when the temperature rises again. What, then, is the purpose for making such sculpted objects?
I see. So the objective is to enjoy the season through using what is only available during the winter.
To wish to fully enjoy even the changes in climate... A very typical way of thinking for fossildwellers.
It has piqued my interest. (Captain), let's head outside. Teach me how to make this object called a snowman.

(Captain), I have been looking for you.
I want you to open this drawer.
I am told this mechanism is called an advent calendar box.
For each day leading up to the holy night, one drawer is opened, thereby bestowing its gift.
Seeing as today is the long-awaited final day, the contents of the largest drawer at the bottom can now be revealed.
I've struggled to comprehend the necessity behind restricting gifts to individual lots. It defies logic, but I digress.
According to Zeta, opening the last drawer falls to the leader of an organization.
Following this guideline, you are the only one allowed to open it, (Captain).
To implement a security measure that limits access to designated personnel implies that the reward is highly valuable.
Considering the smaller drawers contained lesser items such as gumdrops or lollipops... Surely this contains something more. Perhaps even baked goods.
Hurry, (Captain). Release what is inside.

Ah, I have been searching for you, (Captain).
Pardon my abruptness, but if time is of no concern, I have a favor to ask.
A local ramen shop is serving a limited quantity of holiday ramen.
They chill vegetables in the snow, which locks in the sweetness, and stew them in a thin white turkey-bone broth.
The final product resembles a pure white landscape of freshly fallen snow, and its flavor is equally as deep.
That tantalizing mellow flavor will capture your tongue. Yes... A fascinating concoction indeed.
Needless to say, this style of ramen comes but once a year. You simply must have a taste too.
Let's go, (Captain). I'm sure there is an abundance of other holiday-exclusive flavors waiting for us.

To implement a security measure that limits access to designated personnel implies that the reward is highly valuable.
Considering the smaller drawers contained lesser items such as gumdrops or lollipops... Surely this contains something more. Perhaps even baked goods.
Hurry, (Captain). Release what is inside.

Ah, I have been searching for you, (Captain).
Pardon my abruptness, but if time is of no concern, I have a favor to ask.
A local ramen shop is serving a limited quantity of holiday ramen.
They chill vegetables in the snow, which locks in the sweetness, and stew them in a thin white turkey-bone broth.
The final product resembles a pure white landscape of freshly fallen snow, and its flavor is equally as deep.
That tantalizing mellow flavor will capture your tongue. Yes... A fascinating concoction indeed.
Needless to say, this style of ramen comes but once a year. You simply must have a taste too.
Let's go, (Captain). I'm sure there is an abundance of other holiday-exclusive flavors waiting for us.

I would like to know why you are hanging curios on a tree brought in from the outside. What is the point?
You say it is in preparation for a celebration. Interesting.
But why choose such an ordinary tree when your goal is to make this room look festive?
A tree that is naturally populated with blossoms would have saved you from unnecessary decorating. You are being inefficient.
Why are you handing me ornaments? Is this your way of asking me to help?
Hmm. Active participation may allow me to understand the reasoning behind this inefficient behavior.
Very well then. I will provide assistance.

You claim that Santa Claus is an elderly man who delivers items to children without seeking payment.
I fail to see why he would give away quality goods for no compensation. It is highly illogical.
On the other hand, it does bring smiles to the children who receive those gifts.
It could be said that the value of those smiles is a sufficient trade.
Or perhaps this is yet another example of an act of kindness.
Fascinating. I would like to meet this Santa Claus someday.

Earlier, I came across children making a strange object by stacking large spheres of snow together. What are they doing?
An activity in which snow is used as a material for making a figure referred to as a snowman... Hm, a convenient and rational way to spend one's time.
Still, the snow is bound to melt when the temperature rises again. What, then, is the purpose for making such sculpted objects?
I see. So the objective is to enjoy the season through using what is only available during the winter.
To wish to fully enjoy even the changes in climate... A very typical way of thinking for fossildwellers.
It has piqued my interest. (Captain), let's head outside. Teach me how to make this object called a snowman.

(Captain), I have been looking for you.
I want you to open this drawer.
I am told this mechanism is called an advent calendar box.
For each day leading up to the holy night, one drawer is opened, thereby bestowing its gift.
Seeing as today is the long-awaited final day, the contents of the largest drawer at the bottom can now be revealed.
I've struggled to comprehend the necessity behind restricting gifts to individual lots. It defies logic, but I digress.

Tis the season, (Captain).
And what a great season too. Everyone looks so happy, and they're having so much fun.
Have you decided who you want to spend the day with? Wait, me?
Don't be silly. You'll have to wait at least ten more years for that! But I'm glad you're thinking of me.
Well, maybe just for today, you can call me by my real name.

Hey. (Captain). Is there anything you want? I can steal it for you, you know.
As for compensation, I'd say... if you spent the whole day with me, that would suffice. Hehe.
Just kidding, of course. Hehe...
Though I might have been a teensy-bit serious about that compensation.

Here, I just made some hot cocoa.
How is it? The latte art isn't too bad, right? Lyria poured this one.
Hehe...
It's kind of peculiar. You know, that it's become normal to spend this festive night with someone special.
Maybe it's natural. After all, can you imagine spending this day alone?
(Captain), this is your fault. How naughty... Next year make sure you spend this time with me. Or else I'll turn you into smoke... Hehe...

You've been waiting all year, just like you promised.
Spending this holiday night with you is my idea of fun... I've been tapping my foot for the past couple of days.
Oh, lovely... Did you brew this cup of cocoa just for me?
Hehe, that's so thoughtful. I love a good cocoa, but the ones who make it for others are just as sweet.
Mm, nice and hot... And to thank you, I'll whip up my own special blend of cocoa.
What do you say to snuggling up while we sip our drinks?

Sorry to keep you waiting. I got held up a bit while I was getting ready.
Choose: It's okay. I just got here myself.
Oh, really? Heehee, are you sure about that?
It'd be crazy to think of this as a date. I mean, we're just out shopping for party supplies.
Unless I stood you up. Then you could call it a date, or at least an unsuccessful one.
Haha, I'm just playing with you—gasp.
Um, y-you don't have to hold my hand so tightly... Geez, you little trickster.
S-so how about we finish shopping quickly, and then...
Maybe spend a little time together, just the two of us?

Wow! Look... It's snowing outside...
The snowflakes are so pretty... Almost like petals...
A snowy winter... That's another classic in illustrated books.
It must be the sky's way... of giving its blessings to us, (Captain)...
My first holy night with (Captain)...
Moohoohoo! Let's make it... one to remember, okay?

What a lively party... This is going to be fun...
I'm reminded of the communal feasts we had back home. We would all be enjoying our food and dancing with the cows...
...
Um, I don't mind being around everyone, but...
I'd much prefer to be alone with you, (Captain)...
After all, the stars in the sky are so much sparklier tonight...
I want to watch them with you... Just the two of us...
Well?
(Captain) responds to her bashful request with a soft smile, putting her coat over her shoulders.
They then quietly slip out of the venue together.

Catura: (Captain), look, look... I made a big heart ornament for you...
I was hoping we could put this on top of the tree together...
Hm? We won't be able to reach the top without a stepladder?
Oh no... We're utterly out of options...
Moomoo: Moo!
In what can only be described as a holiday miracle, Moomoo hops gallantly from behind the tree and sets a stepladder in front of Catura before disappearing again.
Catura: Yay! Thank you, Moomoo... You're the best...
Moohoohoo... Now we can finishing decorating the tree together, (Captain).

Cecile

Hey, are you free tonight by any chance? There's a place I want you to come to.
Where, you ask? Well, let's just say I'll be performing on stage.
You're interested? Perfect! Here's the ticket!
I'm gonna totally fire up the stage tonight! I hope you're looking forward to it. See you there! Buh-bye!

Looks like the presents for the kids have arrived. I remember how excited I used to get when I saw them...
Huh? Did I get anything?
What'll you do if I tell you? Well, whatever. I'll answer.
I got a score from a famous orchestra. I went with my mother to a performance. It was amazing, and I wanted to try to play what they did.
There, wasn't that a boring story? Usually little girls want stuffed animals or cute things.
It's a story that suits me? I guess you're right, thanks.
I still remember that song. Maybe I'll try playing it again for the first time in a long time.
If you're interested, I'll let you listen.

Have we bought everything we need for the party?
Right then—we'd better get back to the others.
The town really is lit up like the night sky.
Seems like the perfect place to knock back a drink and enjoy the scenery.
What? You wanna join me?
Sure, why not? But we're short on time tonight, so we'll have to take a rain check.
Still... Nothing says we can't take the scenic route back. If we walk along that ridge there, we should get a great view of the town lights. And a starlit stroll might be even more romantic than a drink.
Hahaha, I'm just pulling your leg. Come on, let's get a move on!

Got your drink? Then here's to the holidays. Cheers!
Hm... You have the look of someone who can't believe they've been invited to the bar by the great Cecile.
I haven't forgotten your request from last year.
We're not alone though. 'Tis the season for couples to come out too.
If only we had five years together... Haha, I'm just messing around.
Today's round is on me, so order whatever juice you want.
I'm going to show you what it's like to be a sophisticated adult. Hopefully it'll help when you meet that special someone someday.

The rumors weren't kidding. The lit-up town looks like a sea of stars from up here.
The climb was tough, but you handled it just as well as I thought you would. Coming up was the right call.
Quite a greedy kid, aren't you? Keeping me to yourself on this holy night. I'm the one who invited you, but still.
I took the trouble to bring this guy along, so it's fine if I play a tune or two, isn't it?
Consider it thanks for making you take time out of your busy schedule. Sit back and enjoy.
Hehe, a private show with a lovely trumpeter against a beautiful backdrop...
Careful now, or you might find yourself falling with no hope of getting up.

You want me to help prepare the holiday party? Do I look like someone that's interested in pointless socializing?
I'll pass. I plan to stay in my room tonight and wait for Santa Claus.
Huh? What's that? I'm the only one that you trust to decorate the tree...
In other words, you need my brilliance to make it shine.
Well, if you insist that much... I guess I can't say no.
But in exchange, you better tell Santa all about how I helped you!

Cerberus: Happy holidays!
Mimi: Woof! A whole day of festive treats!
Coco: And if we bop that Santa guy on the head, he'll give us a bag full of loot! Woof!
Cerberus: Bingo! Today's a super fun day full of presents and food!
Mimi: Grr... Where's the grub? Woof!
Coco: Growl... Where'd that Santa guy run off to? Woof woof!
Cerberus: Heh heh! We don't have this kind of thing where we come from, so let's enjoy today to the fullest!

Mimi: This year we're sure to catch that Santa guy, woof! He'll make an excellent meal for the holidays!
Coco: His cries for help will be our present this year, ruff!
Cerberus: Master, do you hear the things these guys are saying?
Mimi: Woof, hey now! You care what happens to that old coot, woof?
Coco: If we can't have Santa, then we demand an equally scrumptious meal to feast on for our present!
Cerberus: Hee hee, it looks like they've really gotten into the holiday spirit this year.
Cerberus: Well, Master, you heard them—I can't wait to see what you'll surprise us with at today's party!

Mimi: Grr... This old coot's a fake!
Coco: Rrr... That old coot's a fake too!
Cerberus: Hm... All these Santas are impostors. We're as far from the real one as ever.
Mimi: They're not just fakes—they're not even scared of us! They're so arrogant, arf!
Coco: One even kicked me around like a ball, hohoho-ing all the way! Who does he think he is!
Mimi: The sham santas are toying with us!
Coco: It makes me so arfing mad! Let's tear out their guts and deck the halls with 'em!
Cerberus: Nuh-uh! If you do that, you'll get a spanking on the other side.
Hee hee! We're going to have a wonderful holiday this year. I hear there's going to be a wild party. Isn't that right, Master?

Mimi: When we woke up this morning, we found chunks of meat and a message. Somethin' smells fishy.
Coco: We didn't sniff anyone out last night. Must've been (Captain) here that did it.
Cerberus: Hmm... You sure it wasn't the man himself? Santa, I mean.
Mimi: That arfin' old man trying to start somethin'? This meat hasta be cursed or poisoned! He's probably trying to send us to you-know-where.
Cerberus: Santa wouldn't do anything like that. Come on, Coco, take a bite.
Coco: You believe all those rumors 'bout Santa, huh? Well, wouldn't hurt to give it a nip. You take some too, Mimi. Chomp, chomp...
With dubious looks on their little faces, Coco and Mimi dig into the chunks of meat ostensibly left behind by Santa.
Cerberus: So, food tasters, is it poisoned?
Mimi: Bwa! So you didn't trust it after all! I declare animal abuse! Barkin' unbelievable. Munch, much...
Mimi:Incorrectly translated in-game as Mimi, and should instead be Coco. Honestly. Chomp, chomp...
Cerberus: Hehe. But you're still eating.

Cerberus: Happy holidays!
Mimi: Heard an ol' cookie-muncher's making his rounds tonight. You been naughty or nice, captain?
Coco: We were really good pups this year. How about you?
Cerberus: Hehe... Coco and Mimi have been nothing but sweet for the longest time. They really want that present from Santa.
Mimi: I'm bad deep down in my bones, but I wasn't about to pass up on free stuff.
Coco: Gotta wag your tail for the ol' chimney-hopper to get what you want.
Cerberus: What do we want? Oh, just three little things...
Mimi: Your flesh. Wanna shred it with my fangs.
Coco: Your bones. Wanna crush them in my jaws.
Cerberus: And your soul... goes to me, of course.
Hehe. Perfect, isn't it? 'Cause then you and I will be together forever.
Even beyond the end of time...
So do make sure you give me your soul someday. Pretty please? Hehe.

Ah, (Captain), there's cream stuck on your lips.

Oh! (Captain)! Happy holidays!
Right now I'm helping Lyria and Vyrn put up the ornaments on the tree!
Would you like to join us?
Look, isn't this one beautiful?
I got this specially ordered from Siero!
Let's make this a winter we'll never forget!

Happy holidays, (Captain)!
Take a look at this cake I bought!
See this intricately-sculpted candy figure between the frosting roses?
In the light of the candelabra, it glitters like a jewel.
When I spotted it in the bakery, I knew I had to show you.
Ehehe... You really like it then? That makes me so happy.
Well, let's cut everyone a piece. Of course, you get the piece with the candy figure, (Captain).

Why hello, (Captain). Lovely evening, isn't it?
Won't you sit by me? I find the tree most beautiful from here—see how the baubles shine.
Sigh... The sights are breathtaking, aren't they? It's a shame it only lasts for a season.
I wish I could snip out this scene and encase it in amber.
Or... Perhaps this moment feels so beautiful because it's fleeting.
Let's keep today as a memory, shall we? Ahh... I hope the holidays next year will be even more wondrous.

Charioce XVII

It's a holy night. And thus I'll host a splendid party at the castle.
I look forward to your presence. I've also prepared a present for you.
You cannot refuse. Consider this an expression of my gratitude for your everyday efforts.
What's in the present? If I were to reveal it, wouldn't that ruin the surprise?
Don't worry. There's nothing bizarre in it.
It's a product of the best quality, chosen by myself.
You may expect the best.

Tonight is the holiest of nights. Just as last year, I will hold a party at my castle.
Come and bring your crew.
Powerful aristocrats and monarchs from other nations will be in attendance.
Not a bad chance to raise your profile, (Captain).
You have no interest in such things?
Humph. How like you.
In that case, what about all you can eat and drink?
Naturally, all the food and drink will be of the highest quality.
I am confident you will have no complaints.
What do you mean, "Is that all right?"
If the king decrees you may attend, who would dare bar your way?
Therefore come and make merry.

It's a holy night tonight. And as a matter of course, we will be holding an appropriate banquet at my castle.
Hah. You look displeased.
The attendees will be myself and the retainers I keep in my direct employ. And your crew, of course.
Surely you can enjoy those environs?
If there's anything you would like to eat at the party, all you have to do is but ask.
I will use both my influence and my boundless treasury to procure it.
So what are we going to eat at the party?

(Captain). Most unfortunate that the weather took a turn for the worse.
No need to apologize for your late arrival to the party.
It would be tragic if you had pushed yourself and gotten injured along the way.
Not to worry. The chef is still awake—I shall have him prepare something for you immediately.
Ah, no need to fear. The chef had been telling me how much he's looking forward to seeing all of you indulge in his feast.
I feel the same.
Now, rest yourselves for now. The winter party will begin shortly.

(Captain). I thank you for listening to the caprices of a king...
And allowing me to attend your holiday festivities this night.

  • Choose: What about the winter ball at the castle?
    Do not trouble yourself about that. The guests believe ill health has kept me bedridden.
    And I believe the time spent on your ship to be far more fruitful than hours spent watching servile lords bow and scrape.
  • Choose: Did you have fun?
    Of course. It has been a long time since I have been able to set aside the mantle of a king and enjoy myself.
    Hah. I cannot even remember when last I was able to participate so whole-heartedly in festivities.

Ah, yes. Before I forget, I have not yet given you your gift.
I ask that you accept this as a token of my deep appreciation.
Tonight was truly delightful. Should the chance arise, I hope you will extend me another invitation.

Happy, happy holidays!
I really enjoy putting up decorations...
Oof... If only I could reach the top of the tree to put the star on...

Hm? Hello, (Captain). Today's the most festive day of the holiday season...
But you still seem to be awake.
The night has only just begun, you say? I am not sure I understand.
As a holy knight, it is only proper to rest early and await Santa Claus's arrival from within the world of dreams.
I have already partaken of my holiday cake and brushed my teeth!
I bid you a good night, Captain (Captain). May you have a holiday evening full of good tidings and cheer.

(Captain), I couldn't help but notice a small package sitting atop my bed.
Would you happen to know anything of it?
Since tomorrow is the day we open the presents, I assume someone was kind enough to give me a gift. However...
With no labels of any sort to say who it's addressed to, I can't help but worry there's a chance it's not meant for me.
What?
Y-you're the one who left it for me? My!
The adult's supposed to give the child the present, not the other way around!
Grufflesnicks... With this, my pride as a grown-up is all but gone!
I-I'll have to sleep early tonight! Tomorrow can't come soon enough!

(Captain), happy holidays!
Baotorda and Sevastien are preparing a meal for us this eve!
Hehe... I'm looking forward to this night.
Lyria and Vyrn also seem very excited for this evening.
Unlike the carnage on the battlefield, this moment of peace is something I would not trade for the world.

Hmm, hmm, hmmm!
Oh, (Captain)! Happy holidays!
What's the source of my high spirits, you ask?
As a matter of fact, Baotorda invited me to join him for dinner this evening.
And when he did, I caught a whiff of something sweet!
I'm certain it was the scent of a freshly baked cake!
Baotorda is a master baker! Ahhh, I can't wait to get to the dinner table!
Wh-what? I'm not all atwitter! I'm merely looking forward to dinner with dignity and decorum!

(Captain), I couldn't help but notice a small package sitting atop my bed.
Would you happen to know anything of it?
Since tomorrow is the day we open the presents, I assume someone was kind enough to give me a gift. However...
With no labels of any sort to say who it's addressed to, I can't help but worry there's a chance it's not meant for me.
What?
Y-you're the one who left it for me? My!
The adult's supposed to give the child the present, not the other way around!
Grufflesnicks... With this, my pride as a grown-up is all but gone!
I-I'll have to sleep early tonight! Tomorrow can't come soon enough!

(Captain), happy holidays!
Baotorda and Sevastien are preparing a meal for us this eve!
Hehe... I'm looking forward to this night.
Lyria and Vyrn also seem very excited for this evening.
Unlike the carnage on the battlefield, this moment of peace is something I would not trade for the world.

Hmm, hmm, hmmm!
Oh, (Captain)! Happy holidays!
What's the source of my high spirits, you ask?
As a matter of fact, Baotorda invited me to join him for dinner this evening.
And when he did, I caught a whiff of something sweet!
I'm certain it was the scent of a freshly baked cake!
Baotorda is a master baker! Ahhh, I can't wait to get to the dinner table!
Wh-what? I'm not all atwitter! I'm merely looking forward to dinner with dignity and decorum!

Happy, happy holidays!
I really enjoy putting up decorations...
Oof... If only I could reach the top of the tree to put the star on...

Hm? Hello, (Captain). Today's the most festive day of the holiday season...
But you still seem to be awake.
The night has only just begun, you say? I am not sure I understand.
As a holy knight, it is only proper to rest early and await Santa Claus's arrival from within the world of dreams.

Chat Noir

Happy holidays.
Snow is beautiful because it's something that disappears without a trace.
However, it seems this winter will be unusually warm. (Captain) is slightly disappointed knowing that it is less likely to have a snowy day during the season.
Heh heh, could it be that you like snow as well, (Captain)?
(Captain) nods. With that, Chat Noir leads (Captain) outside.
Together, they go out to the deck, where they behold a scene of beautiful white snow.
What do you think? Surprised? I secretly prepared some extra snow, just in case.
Let's see who can build the bigger snowman, (Captain)!

A snowstorm has struck the Grandcypher overnight. (Captain) heads out the following morning to clear the snow.
However, instead of a blanket of snow, the entire deck is covered in a thick layer of ice.
Happiest of holidays, (Captain). A bit chilly, isn't it?
What do you think? A world of ice, illuminated by the morning sunrise. Simply captivating, if I do say so myself.
How did I do it? Hehe... Let's just call it a holiday miracle.
Oh, you can't skate? Don't even sweat it. I'm sure you'll be gracefully gliding in no time.
Don't be afraid. Here, take my arm if you wish. Now muster your courage and take the first step!

(Captain) attempts to clear the heavier-than-usual snow on the deck, but a loud bang is heard.
Well, look at that. You dodged all the snowballs I blasted your way. How charming, (Captain).
Hehehe. You don't seem to understand what's happening.
Those snowballs were from a machine that I prepared for just this moment.
Behold! Ice Assault!
(Captain), put all your presents on the line in this battle of the snow!
Hehehe... I'm cheating by using a machine? Then how about you call all your little friends to help you?
No one will get hurt. The snow used is quite soft and won't harm a soul.
Once you've prepared, let me know. Tonight will be the last stand for all the gifts!

(Captain) is in town, having heard about the appearance of calling cards with a cryptic message. "Tonight, I shall whisk away the familiar and the ordinary."
Suddenly, a silver sound reverberates through the air. The falling snowflakes begin to shimmer and gleam with all the colors of the rainbow.

Hehehe. How do you like this holiday miracle of mine?
Why would I go through the trouble? Well, I would think the answer was obvious.
I wished to show you a marvel—a spectacle even greater than the miracles of Santa Claus himself!
Chat Noir waves his wand once, and the trees begin to glow. The mysterious light illuminates the winding paths and streets.
Now, shall we set out, my dear? A most extraordinary evening awaits you!

Happy holidays. A good child like you deserves a present.
Ta-da! A grand holiday tree made of ice to brighten up the deck!
Not even Santa Claus, the champion of good children across the skies, could give a gift of such size!
Well, yes, you can't bring it inside because it'll melt.
Hehehe... I knew you'd say that, which is why I've prepared another present.
Chat Noir waves his staff, and the snow on the deck transforms into chairs and tables made of ice.
A warm room is nice, but sometimes we should take in the full joys of winter, don't you think?
Come, let's gather the other crew members and have us a holiday celebration on an icy terrace!

Like, I couldn't be any happier today!
We should go see the light show in town, Captain! And drink hot cocoa too!
I can't wait for tomorrow morning! I wonder what Santa's got for me!
Huh? Santa, the one who puts presents under the tree while you sleep.
I've never met him. But I'm a good girl, so he leaves me something every year.

It's snowing, it's cold, I miss my family, and I don't have a sweetie-poo on a day like this. What a total downer...
Least that's what I thought!
I mean, you've got so many peeps who are single on the G. Cyph. lol
Like, mad props to your l33t crew and all, but we're all totally on the same level when it comes to relationship status. lolz

Season's greets, Captain!
I wanna go holiday shopping and see all the shiny lights in town! Maybe we can even check out a cafe that's, like, all glammed up in cutesy stuff! (*>ω<*)
I'm all jazzed up thinking about this date with you, (Captain)! ヾ(*´∀`*)ノ
Hm? I'm talking about how you and I are gonna totally raise the roof tonight, (Captain)! (´∀`*)☆
Ah, but we'll have to be back before it gets too dark out!
I'm supposed to get a makeup kit from Santa—wouldn't wanna miss out on it!

Oh (Captain)! Season's greets!
Get a load of this! (*´∀`*) I made cake this year. Isn't it just totes adorbz?
I added some plum kelp jerky into the spongy mix, so it's got, like, a really funky taste.
Put it by your pillow, and Santa just might have a bite. ヽ(☆´∀`☆)ノ
I'm mega-thankful for jolly ol' Kris Kringle, and it's about time I did something to pay him back!

Oopsie! Oh, (Captain)! Happy holidays! Sorry for being in a rush! (・ω・`)
I've got some stuff to buy. They were saying they forgot to buy a mini Santa to put on the cake and stuff.
Like, it's totally not the holidays without Santa, his reindeer, and some snowdudes.
That's where I come in. I've gotta do what I can to put a smile on the kiddies' faces.
Huh... You'll come with, (Captain)? Like, really really?
We're gonna go on a winter date! Like, you're serious, right? Should I redo my makeup?
I'm already as cute as a button?
Aw, (Captain)! You're totes making me blush!
Teehee! Let's get going then! Time's-a-wastin'! (*^.^*)

Happy holidays! So did you get any presents from Santa, Kitten?
Ha-ha! I'm just kidding. I know you're not quite that young.
How about I keep you entertained instead of Santa this year?

Don't get me wrong. I don't have a problem with Santa. Seems a little pushy though, forcibly dropping presents on people.
Not that there's any harm in getting presents, I guess.
Seeing the smiling faces of children the world over must be all the payment he needs.
Not bad, right? A real win-win.
I just hope he has a safe night out... and doesn't get arrested for trespassing.

Well, my little kitten, you and the rest of the world are certainly feeling the spirit of the season. Looking at the splendor of the city, your heart just dances, doesn't it?
Our celebration at the Jewel Resort is quite the spectacle, you know.
How about it? Want to come peep at it? It'll be the most merry festival in all the skies.
Hehe. That's right: a merry celebration, grown-up style!

We did have an exquisite time at the Jewel Resort when it was tinseled up for the holidays—no question.
But you never got to experience the grown-up fun I had in mind, Kitten.
Do you know why?
Heehee, the reason's simple. It's because the two of us weren't alone...
If you catch my drift.
How about I show you how adults spend the holiday?
What do you say, Kitten?

Hm? Oh, it's you—my sweet, little kitten. I was just looking out the window.
The snow looks so magical, with all the colorful lights reflected on its surface...
And how will you be spending this holy night, little kitten?
Will you be celebrating in a lively fashion with everyone? Or... will you be making a getaway with a certain someone?
Hehe, you're getting pretty red. I wonder where and what you were imagining just now...
Ahaha! You don't have to sulk like that. You were being so cute that I couldn't help but tease you a little.
But tonight is a special night, so I suppose I'll give you a nice present.
Come on, let's head into town.
Don't you want to experience this holy night like never before?

Huang: The holidays are here...
Bai: Yep. Holiday time.
Huang: (Many people spend the holidays with their families, but this is also a prime time for couples...)
(A special day for sweethearts to exchange gifts and chow on meat dishes...)
Bai: (Staring into each other's eyes under the pretty lights... How romantic.)
(What a way to warm up a wintery night.)
Suddenly (Captain) walks over and says a cheerful hello.
Nyaaah! (Captain)! Don't sneak up on me like that.
Huang: You're going for a walk in town?
Bai: And you came to invite us?
Cidala Sisters: O-oh...
Huang: It's not like we have anything better to do, right?
Bai: N-nope...
Cidala Sisters: (I'm so nervous...)

Bai: H-happy holidays, (Captain)...
Huang: So... what are your plans for today again? You know, just checking...
Bai: You're gonna go shopping, come back... and decorate for the party tonight?
Huang: Then you're going to finish preparing for the feast, go into town again to walk around... and come back for the celebration?
Cidala Sisters: I see...
Bai: (But (Captain)'s so popular... The captain can't be planning to go out alone. I mean, everyone wants to spend the winter holiday with someone else.)
(I can already tell... I'm sure (Captain) is thinking of going out for some "shopping" and then running away with me...)
(What a holy night...)
Huang: ((Captain) definitely likes me...)
(The captain will probably come talk to me while we're decorating the ship, and then we'll go to a quiet place...)
(Just the two of us... And then (Captain) might try to c-c-confess...)
Cidala Sisters: (Oh my...)

'Tis the season to be jolly!
(Captain), do you have any plans today? Because I was wondering if... you know...
You and I...
Aaah, this is too embarrassing!

Oh, hi, Captain! Um, I wanted to ask you if you were going to be busy tonight?
Ah, of course everyone'd be pulling you around here and there. You're Captain Popular!
It's not always easy being popular, I guess.
Well, okay, I'll just head back to my room, then. Don't get too crazy tonight!
Um, but if you're not too busy later, I'd like to spend some time together... you know, if you're free...

Hey, hey. It's the big day!
We gotta get together later and party it up!
Ah, but you're probably super busy, so...
Huh? You'll be free? You're not just humoring me, are you?
Hehehe, then let's shake on it.
What? You think we should invite everyone else too?
O-of course! That was, um, my plan all along!
Better find a place that can fit all of us then.
Guess we can't use my room or your room anymore since company's coming...
All right, I'll take care of all the planning!
See ya tonight, (Captain)!

Um, hey! Hey, (Captain)!
Guess what? My parents sent me a holiday card.
They wrote that I should bring you back home with me for the holidays...
Aaagh, geez! Parents, am I right? They'll say just about anything.
I mean it's pretty obvious you're gonna be really busy around this time and all, so...
Plus I think I'd be on eggshells the whole time just knowing you're there in my house.
But, hey, I don't know... Maybe it's just me?
So... Like, if you kinda maybe sorta wanna hang out at my house with me...
What am I thinking! Of course this is all too sudden! Yeah, yeah! Next time! Subsequently! Future!

I'm sorry, (Captain). You came all the way to my house, but everything wound up a total mess.
I didn't think my parents would make such a big deal...
A-and, well... Don't worry about what Mother said, okay?
What? Don't you remember? She was like, it's about time you came for a formal greeting... Or something like that.
Umm... Seems like my parents have gotten the wrong idea about us.
B-but, uh... I didn't want to say they were wrong or anything. Or, er, I mean, if we really became like that, I would be pretty happy...
Uh. Ignore what I just said.
Basically! I want you to just forget everything and enjoy the party, okay?
Oh, right. (Captain), I almost forgot to say this to you.
Happy holidays!

A-and, well... Don't worry about what Mother said, okay?
What? Don't you remember? She was like, it's about time you came for a formal greeting... Or something like that.
Umm... Seems like my parents have gotten the wrong idea about us.
B-but, uh... I didn't want to say they were wrong or anything. Or, er, I mean, if we really became like that, I would be pretty happy...
Uh. Ignore what I just said.
Basically! I want you to just forget everything and enjoy the party, okay?
Oh, right. (Captain), I almost forgot to say this to you.
Happy holidays!

'Tis the season to be jolly!
(Captain), do you have any plans today? Because I was wondering if... you know...
You and I...
Aaah, this is too embarrassing!

Oh, hi, Captain! Um, I wanted to ask you if you were going to be busy tonight?
Ah, of course everyone'd be pulling you around here and there. You're Captain Popular!
It's not always easy being popular, I guess.
Well, okay, I'll just head back to my room, then. Don't get too crazy tonight!
Um, but if you're not too busy later, I'd like to spend some time together... you know, if you're free...

Hey, hey. It's the big day!
We gotta get together later and party it up!
Ah, but you're probably super busy, so...
Huh? You'll be free? You're not just humoring me, are you?
Hehehe, then let's shake on it.
What? You think we should invite everyone else too?
O-of course! That was, um, my plan all along!
Better find a place that can fit all of us then.
Guess we can't use my room or your room anymore since company's coming...
All right, I'll take care of all the planning!
See ya tonight, (Captain)!

Um, hey! Hey, (Captain)!
Guess what? My parents sent me a holiday card.
They wrote that I should bring you back home with me for the holidays...
Aaagh, geez! Parents, am I right? They'll say just about anything.
I mean it's pretty obvious you're gonna be really busy around this time and all, so...
Plus I think I'd be on eggshells the whole time just knowing you're there in my house.
But, hey, I don't know... Maybe it's just me?
So... Like, if you kinda maybe sorta wanna hang out at my house with me...
What am I thinking! Of course this is all too sudden! Yeah, yeah! Next time! Subsequently! Future!

I'm sorry, (Captain). You came all the way to my house, but everything wound up a total mess.

The holiday is finally here.
If it's not too much trouble, would you mind helping me deck the halls for the party?

Tonight's festivities are right on schedule. The preparations will be flawless.
No, I can't partake in merriment. It's my duty as a maid to make sure everything is perfect.
I will use all my power to make sure all crew members have a wonderful, enjoyable evening.

Hm, this snowy backdrop is perfect for a holy night like this.
It's forced me to give up my hunt for a succulent turkey for tonight's dinner, but even I can't deny the beauty of it all.
Imagine, if you will, the pale-blue figure of Lyria standing in pure white drifts, blowing on her fingers to keep them warm...
Teeheehee...

The sight of a beautiful young maiden frolicking on the holy night fills me with joy.
I'm happy I prepared so many ornaments so that Lyria could fully enjoy decorating the tree.
Look, she's waving us over. How sweetly she beckons...
A maid's duty is to prepare and facilitate, not to participate in celebrations...
But I'm only human. No one could resist such temptation. Hee hee.

Well. I suppose that does it for the holiday decorations.
We made quick work of the ship. I've the rest of the crew and their kind assistance to thank for that.
And, (Captain), your face shows every bit how delighted you are. As a maid, that does make me happy.
Though I must say, I've no great wish to tidy up once all the festivities are over.
Well, I just have to think of it as rifling through the leftovers and forgotten items of young ladies. That's not so bad, is it?
Really, if I find something good, I may be able to pocket it for my collection...
What's that, (Captain)? You're offering to help with the cleanup?
I appreciate the offer, but I'm afraid that I cannot entrust this task to another.
After all, it is my duty as a maid... Teehee.

Colossus

Vyrn: So does anybody know where Colossus went?
Lyria: Um, I think it went searching for a tree we could use for the holidays.
During the most wonderful time of the year, (Captain) and the crew wait for Colossus to return from its trip outside of town.
Eventually the sound of people shouting in surprise accompanies heavy footfalls as the iron giant comes into view.
Colossus: ...
Vyrn: Wh-whoa! That's way too big, don'tcha think!
(Captain) and company are taken aback by the massive tree slung over Colossus's shoulder, its length longer than the iron giant is tall.
Lyria: Ahaha... You're really excited for this, aren't you?
It seems that the tree was dug out carefully with the intent to return it to its original home afterward. For now they carefully place it in a pot.
Vyrn: Haha, the townspeople are in for a big surprise! But first we got our work cut out for us decoratin' something this size!
Everyone tackles the task eagerly, each using a ladder to climb up and place colorful ornaments over the tree's many branches. Soon enough they have a holiday tree fit for the season.
Lyria: Okay, the only thing left now is to put the star on top! We're counting on you, Colossus!
Colossus: ...
It takes the offered star from Lyria and approaches the tree.
Boy: ...
Colossus: ...
But upon noticing the gaze of a boy nearby, Colossus instead offers the star to him. He happily takes the ornament and scampers into Colossus's hand where he is lifted up to the top of the tree for the finishing touch.

Colossus and crew plan to bring a large tree into town this year as well.
However, heavy snowfall fills the road into the forest, and traversing through it is out of the question.
Vyrn: Nothin' we can do about it unfortunately. We'd have a real accident on our hands if Colossus fell.
Lyria: It's just too bad... Colossus was so excited to do it...
Colossus: ...
With disappointed faces, the gathered townspeople decide to return home with their tree ornaments.
Colossus: ...
Colossus appears to sag in disappointment as well, but only for a moment.
Colossus: ...!
The metal giant points at the townspeople, then at its own body.
Lyria: Huh? What are you doing?
Oh! Are you saying we should decorate you instead?
Vyrn: That's not a bad idea! You'd make one heckuva cool holiday tree!
Colossus bows its head in agreement, and the plan moves ahead.
Lifting the townspeople onto its shoulders and head, the iron giant helps with the decorating as much as possible.
Lyria: Wow... You look amazing!
Though the tinsel and other bright ornaments provide plenty of cheer, the large star at the top of Colossus's head draws the most attention.
Colossus: ...
The replacement tree stands tall and proud, surrounded by the smiles of happy townspeople.

Unlike the previous year, no trouble arises this winter celebration with Colossus carrying out its duty as the decorative tree.
Colossus: ...
The joyful crowds disperse as people go back to their homes. The night quiets down, and Colossus stands contentedly in the calm silence.
Colossus: ...
The iron giant is startled by the sudden but faint sound of footsteps.
Careful not to cause any noise, Colossus looks down at its feet to see who the new visitor is.
???: ...
The figure sets down something by Colossus's feet before quickly taking their leave.
Cautiously, Colossus picks up the package.
Colossus: ...
The bundle is wrapped with red paper and a beautiful ribbon, with a letter attached to it.
"Thank you for your help this year as well. I'd like you to have this small gift in return for making everyone's winter night so bright."
Colossus: ...
After reading these warm words, Colossus gently folds the letter back up.
The package opens to reveal cloth and solution for polishing armor. Colossus picks these up and slowly brings it close to its chest.

Colossus: ...
Another year's holy night has come, and Colossus once again fulfills its role as a festive tree decoration.
The bedizened iron giant sounds its reactor in satisfaction as the town's children gaze upon it.
A pair of smiling children approach Colossus while holding something in their hands.
Cheerful Boy: Ahaha! Hey, hey, let me see your hand!
Colossus: ...
Colossus gently vents some steam and extends its massive hand toward the children.
The children's faces light up with glee as they place something in the giant's hand.
Colossus: ...!
Cheerful Girl: Hehe, doesn't it look just like you? We all worked together to make a snowman that's the same shape as you!
Cheerful Boy: Thanks for making the holidays fun for all of us every year!
Colossus: ...
Colossus caresses the special gift tenderly with the index finger of its other hand, taking care not to melt or destroy it.
Colossus: ...
Cheerful Boy: Ahaha! Our friend seems to like it! Happy holidays!
Cheerful Girl: Happy holidays!
The gentle giant exhales a breath of steam in response to the cheerful greeting from its small friends.

As is now custom for the holy night, Colossus once again dresses up as a holiday tree.
Around town, two children in particular excitedly wonder what kind of decorations the metal giant will wear this year.
Cheerful Girl: So? What do you think?
Cheerful Boy: Hmm... It'll probably be the craziest outfit ever!
Cheerful Girl: Do you think it'll be shiny? Or sparkly?
Exchanging predictions, the children head on over to where Colossus awaits.
Their eyes grow wide when they finally spot it.
Colossus: ...
Cheerful Girl: Wow!
Cheerful Boy: Whoa, so tall!
Colossus stands in the same spot as last year.
But this time, its arms and blade extend toward the sky, while decorations cover it from head to toe.
Cheerful Girl: It's both shiny and sparkly!
Cheerful Boy: Ahaha! I've never seen something so big and pretty before!
Twice the height as usual, the Colossus tree delights the children.
A revving sound comes from inside Colossus's chest, indicating the giant's joy at pleasing its audience.

Happy holidays, (Captain).
Do you know of the holiday folktale where a saint blesses all the children? How old were you when you stopped believing in it?
Me? I still believe it!
My job as a praetor places me in a difficult position. I have to fool not only others, but myself as well.
It's all too easy to lose myself in the midst of it all.
To retain my sense of self, I try to make the best of these festivities.
Let's enjoy the holidays together, (Captain).

(Captain), this eve is the holy night, isn't it? I have a proposition for you.
I was planning on dressing as Santa Claus and giving out presents to all the little children, but...
Something doesn't add up. There are just too many children to visit.
That is where you come in. I require your assistance...
What? You will?
Your word is worth a lot to me. Thank you. I appreciate your help.
Hehe... Rest assured. I will save your present for last.
But you must not share our secret with any other crew members.
The children would lose their minds and all would end. That is how dangerous and confidential this mission is.
The dreams of the children must not be destroyed. No information can be leaked to them...
I am glad you understand. You have made a wise choice.
Let us enjoy this night, but don't be late. Hehe...

It's such a beautiful winter night, (Captain).
A quiet snowfall, piles of delicious food, and the exchanging of exciting gifts...
The ladies especially are in a holly, jolly mood around this time of year.
I can't count the number of times a lady had tried to get my attention as I strolled through town.
But since I've already made plans to spend time with you and the crew, I had to turn them all down.
Or should I say it's you who wants to spend some special alone time with me?
Ahaha, just kidding. Come, let's hurry to the party.

Who would have thought we'd actually be able to spend this holy night alone together?
I didn't, and certainly not for this reason.
That's not to say I'm complaining about having to prepare for the party with you.
But this is a good opportunity to enjoy the time we have to ourselves.
What do you think? How would you like to spend a special evening together?
Very good attention to detail, (Captain). Yes, that's the same line I used last year, meaning it's a joke.
I suppose I can't use the same trick twice and hope it works.
Heh. The same goes for anybody who tries anything on me.

Hehe, welcome to the kitchen. Preparations for the party are going smoothly.
My main duty this year is to help make the cake. I just finished decorating it.
While I was out shopping earlier, I found some cute toppings and couldn't help myself. They've added a nice spark to the overall look, haven't they?
I realize I normally have to avoid anything that might damage my reputation as a reserved lady, but...
I'm sure there won't be an issue if this is just between us.
Hehe, you think it looks nice? I suppose it was a good decision then, if it's enough to bring a smile to your face.
I can't wait to see how everyone else reacts. Farewell for now, until we meet later at the party.

(Captain), will you come shopping with me in town?
I wish to experience for myself what it means to bask in the holiday spirit.
Though I've observed skydweller holidays from afar, taking part in one personally may lead me to new discoveries.
Hm? Stores I wish to visit?
Well, I suppose stopping by the confectionery to partake in sweets would be pleasant.
I've been wanting to try some ever since Yuni told me how delicious they can be.
Well then, (Captain)? Will you be joining me?

(Captain), (Captain), it's almost time! Santa Claus is on his way!
I love that big bearded guy almost as much as I love my dad!
Why? Well, I wrote a letter to Santa way back when.
What did I ask for? A kind older sister, and a cute younger one. And Santa delivered!
That's why I stopped asking the guy for presents. Gotta make the rest of my dreams come true on my own!

Hmm... Will it snow today? What do you think?
You know what'll happen if it snows, right? Santa Claus will have such a tough time delivering his presents.
I'm going to leave something by my bed. But it'll get cold...
What if I stay up all night making soup and then serve it to him when he comes?
Hm? Yeah! I always make something for him when he comes.
I have to show my appreciation! He's the reason I have a little and big sister!
I just gotta leave him something to say thanks. Hehe!

(Captain)! Sorry, I've gotta go out for a little. I'll be back before the eve though!
Camieux and I are mailing a gift to our parents.
Because Santa only gives presents to kids, right? So we thought we'd make sure they get a present too!
We really struggled to think of something to give them up until the last minute...
But now we're going to have Siero deliver this.
I hope it gets to them in time. Rats... We really waited till the last minute...
Okay! Gotta go!

I'm back from my trip, (Captain)! Phew, I can't believe I actually made it in time for the holy night feast with the crew!
Thanks for letting me, Camieux, and Silva spend our island's holy night with our family though!
Dad, Mom, Uncle Dan, and all the other gunsmiths working at the alloy foundry were super happy to see us!
I have some snacks that Mom and Dad gave us too, but I'll share those with everyone during the feast.
Oh! Before I forget! Me, Camieux, and Silva made some party crackers while we had the chance!
Let's crack them open at the start of the feast and get things started with a bang!

Cammy! Happy holidays! Come on, give your big sister a hug! Ooh, I might just give you a little kiss too!
Oh, (Captain)! Happy holidays to you too!
What am I doing, you ask? You see... I heard about a certain custom for the holy night when I was on another island for work.
They say if a loved one kisses you on the cheek under the mistletoe, you'll have really good luck!
See! I'm holding this mistletoe above Cammy so I can kiss her under it!
Okay! Next is Silva... Hm? What's the matter, (Captain)?
Oh dear, what's this? Did you want a hug and a kiss from me too, (Captain)?
Sure thing, come on over! Of course I want you to be happy too! Come now, don't be shy!

Ooh, this scarf is so cute! Maybe I could get one for Ris and one for myself so we match...
Huh? (Captain)?
Oh no, I'm sorry I didn't notice you there! Are you here shopping for presents too?
Hehe, actually, me too. I came to buy a gift for Ris!
Every year, Ris and I have a party together to celebrate the holiday, and we exchange presents.
I gave her a really warm hat last year and she loved it, so this year I wanted to give her a scarf that'd look good with the hat!
What color do you think would suit Ris, (Captain)?
Choose: Um, does Ris actually...
Come to the party? Nope! I always have the party with the Ris that lives in my heart!
She's really excited for the cake I made today too! It's a chocolate cake, just like she wanted!
Hehe. I can't wait to show her everything! She's going to be so happy!

Oh, (Captain)! I have a super important favor I'd like to ask...
Would you... go see a play with me?
My favorite theater troupe is actually putting on a special winter production tonight! I have to be there!
(Captain) smiles in response, happy to accompany the young Accordant.
You really mean it? Thank you, thank you!
Oh! One more favor, if you don't mind. Can you hold on to this bag for me?
I'm definitely gonna be in my feelings... If the waterworks start going, just pop it over my head!
I always lose it during the emotional parts, but I don't wanna ruin it for everyone else.
It's actually super embarrassing, but I've been banned from a few theaters.
I could use a Prism Arrow, but that wouldn't sit right with me, you know? So I came up with this as a solution!
You don't know how much this means to me, (Captain). Oh, I just can't wait!

A little bird told me we're havin' a party tonight. Hm, I'm as nervous as a cat...
Since I never had many friends, I had little reason to follow the herd. I'm not sure how I'd act at parties...
You'll be with me the entire time! Woo-hoo, you just made my day!

Ehehe! We get to trade presents today, (Captain)!
Well, here's mine... Ta-da! A plushie to put over head!
I bought it from my favorite store! It's so cute!
It looks nice on you! Let's roar together! One, two...
Rawr! Rawrawr!

Much cake... Such wow... Don't need a lion's share; I'll just have this one piece!
Chomp... The exquisite whipped cream on top of the spongy texture is so fine...
Ah, (Captain)! Look at all this yummy cake! Here, you can have your pick of the litter!
Wait, this is supposed to be for the party later?
Grr... My fault for getting ahead of myself...
It's a shame we can't get high off the hog together, but I'm to blame. I'll just have to bear with the guilt—and like a bear I will!
Huh? You'll give me half? But that's supposed to be your portion!
Teehee. You're so good to me, (Captain)... Thanks...

(Captain)! Happy holidays!
I just heard something neat! Good kids get presents on the eve of the big day!
I forgot who, but...
There's someone who hands gifts out!
And I decided I'm getting one too. But I'm not sure what yet...
A limited-edition iron ball... Or maybe a new plushie for my head...
Huh? You'll let me choose?
Hurray! That makes me feel so warm and fuzzy, (Captain)!
Teehee... Thanks!

(Captain)! I need some advice!
I was wandering around in town and a little kid came up to me.
She called me a reindeer and asked for a present.
But I didn't have a present for her, and anyway, this costume isn't supposed to be a reindeer!
I was wondering what I should do when this old man in red with a big white beard came up and gave both of us these packages.
When I tried to thank him, he was already gone...
Have you seen an old man in red, (Captain)? I want to say thank you...

Well, here's mine... Ta-da! A plushie to put over head!
I bought it from my favorite store! It's so cute!
It looks nice on you! Let's roar together! One, two...
Rawr! Rawrawr!

Much cake... Such wow... Don't need a lion's share; I'll just have this one piece!
Chomp... The exquisite whipped cream on top of the spongy texture is so fine...
Ah, (Captain)! Look at all this yummy cake! Here, you can have your pick of the litter!
Wait, this is supposed to be for the party later?
Grr... My fault for getting ahead of myself...
It's a shame we can't get high off the hog together, but I'm to blame. I'll just have to bear with the guilt—and like a bear I will!
Huh? You'll give me half? But that's supposed to be your portion!
Teehee. You're so good to me, (Captain)... Thanks...

(Captain)! Happy holidays!
I just heard something neat! Good kids get presents on the eve of the big day!
I forgot who, but...
There's someone who hands gifts out!
And I decided I'm getting one too. But I'm not sure what yet...
A limited-edition iron ball... Or maybe a new plushie for my head...
Huh? You'll let me choose?
Hurray! That makes me feel so warm and fuzzy, (Captain)!
Teehee... Thanks!

(Captain)! I need some advice!
I was wandering around in town and a little kid came up to me.
She called me a reindeer and asked for a present.
But I didn't have a present for her, and anyway, this costume isn't supposed to be a reindeer!
I was wondering what I should do when this old man in red with a big white beard came up and gave both of us these packages.
When I tried to thank him, he was already gone...
Have you seen an old man in red, (Captain)? I want to say thank you...

What is the meaning of this! What kind of person would do such a thing?
We prepared a holiday feast for Lord Rivera and the others, but it's all been eaten! We must apprehend the monster responsible!
Ah... Pardon me, Lord Rivera, but you have a little cream on your mouth. Let me get that for you.

Nrgh... What an outrage! What a folly!
Last year, someone ate the feast I prepared for Lord Rivera...
And I've been foiled this year as well! The gifts have all been stolen!
(Captain), we must apprehend the culprit!
Hm? Lord Rivera? What's that cushion in your mouth?
Oh my! You retrieved it from the thief already? You work quickly! I should take notes!

(Captain)... What should I do?
A few moments ago, one of the younger members of our crew gave me a special homemade cake...
But I cannot eat it! How could I possibly devour a cake shaped exactly like Lord Rivera's exquisite face?
But I can't allow my fellow crew member's efforts and good intentions go to waste! I couldn't bear seeing a frown on that precious face! What must I do to pass this torturous trial?
Aghhh!

Agh! How terrible!
I went to decorate the tree to make the younger crew members happy...
But look under the tree. Someone's pulled down all my ornaments!
(Captain), help me search for the parties responsible! I'm sure that they're somewhere around here...
The scent of tree is coming from... If it isn't Lord Rivera and the others!
I can't believe... They're volunteering to serve as replacement ornaments? Aah, how merciful they are!

Okay, every window is shut. I also made sure to patrol the perimeter of the room as an additional safety measure.
That should just about do it. Now the youngsters in the crew can be assured of a safe holiday.
Hm? Lord Rivera? Why do you seat yourself before the fireplace?
You're watching guard to make sure no intruders come in from the chimney?
How gracious you are, Lord Rivera! Ah, your foresight never fails to impress!
Hm? You wish to take your rest now?
Worry not, for I will be here to stand guard in your place. Please enjoy your nap.

Gretel: Watch it, Danua! If you eat nothing but sweets, you're gonna start putting on weight!
Danua: No...
Hansel: Hmm... Danua insists she won't.
Gretel: Yes you will! Let's exercise first! Come on!
Danua: Don't wanna...
Gretel: Don't make that face at me! (Captain)! You shouldn't spoil Danua like this!
Danua: Captain...
Hansel: What do you want to do about this, (Captain)? The decision is yours.

Gretel: These taste great! Thanks for helping me, (Captain)!
Danua: Take...
Hansel: Really now? Danua wants you to have one, (Captain).
Danua: Take...
Gretel: Stop that! If you give all your cookies away you won't have no more to decorate the tree.
Danua: No...
Hansel: Danua's saying she won't run out. (Captain) can decide how many Danua eats.

Danua: Orna...
Hansel: Mhm... Yes, yes... Danua's saying she wants you to look at her hand-made ornaments for the tree.
Gretel: She put together little dolls of me and Hansel. Aren't they cute!

Gretel: Hm? Is this a doll of (Captain)? It's a spitting image of the captain!
Danua: Me...
Hansel: Danua made one of herself too so that we can all be together on the tree.

Danua: Snow...
Hansel: Hm, hm... Danua said the snow's starting to fall.
Gretel: Whoo, what a lucky holiday season it's gonna be! I can already feel it!
Danua: Outside...
Hansel: Huh? Aah... (Captain), she's saying she wants to play outside with you in the snow.
Gretel: Danua's always loved making snowmen! And with this much snow, we can make a jumbo-sized one!
Hansel: But it's really chilly outside. Make sure you warm yourself up before heading out, Danua.
Danua: Sca...
Gretel: (Captain), Danua's got a scarf to help keep you warm. We can go out there as soon as you put it on!

Gretel: A scarf to match Danua's! Great job sewing this together!
Danua: Here, (Captain)... Try putting it on...
Hansel: She has one for you too, Captain! My, it looks rather swell on you.
Gretel: And your present to her is trying out the scarf and coming with us to see the snow!
Danua: We're together, with the same scarf... Heehee!

Danua: (Captain)! Let's build... a snowman!
Hansel: Looks like someone wants to take advantage of all that beautiful snow out there.
Danua: I wanna make Hansel, and Gretel... And Lyria, and Vyrn...
And...
Gretel: Gahaha! (Captain), if you don't stop her, she'll end up making the whole crew!
Hansel: You'll help her until she finishes everyone she wants to build? Danua, you should thank the captain.
Danua: Okay... (Captain), thank you.
Gretel: Have fun, but don't forget to keep warm! It's cold out there!

Danua: (Captain)! I'll be... Santa!
Hansel: Danua says she wants to help with Santa's work, together with you.
Gretel: Danua wants to be a good older sister and hand out presents to all the little ones on the ship!
Danua: Everyone in the crew is always so nice...
I want to give them presents... as thank you...
Hansel: If you're going to help Santa, Danua, then you better dress warmly.
Gretel: Remember the scarf you have that matches (Captain)'s? Make sure you wear that before going!
Danua: Okay! Matching. Helping.
Let's do our best, (Captain)!

Danua: (Captain)... Let's help Santa again together!
Hansel: You're excited to do this again this year, aren't you, Danua? I'm sure you and (Captain) will be a big help to Santa Claus.
Gretel: Come on, (Captain)! Put on your matching scarves and be on your way!
Danua: Hm? A hat... and gloves? Can I borrow them?
Hansel: Hm, it seems these are a present to you from (Captain), Danua.
Gretel: Is this in return for the scarf Danua gave you before? You're pretty thoughtful!
Hurry and try them, Danua!
Danua: Okay!
Hehe, so warm...
Thank you, (Captain)! Now I can help... even more!

Holiday presents... How nostalgic.
When I was little, my father gave me a beautiful jewel encasing a snowy night sky.
I still treasure it more than anything else in the world.

Look at all those pretty lights! It's as if the city's decorated with gems!
I think I can use this scenery as a motif for new accessories!
Inspiration is everything! I'd better get to work while it's still fresh in my mind!
Gems polished during the holiday season contain the greatest magical power.
You'll be the first to see the accessories when I'm done, (Captain)!

I did it!
Ah, (Captain)! Take a look at this! It's the best ornament I've made yet!
I made it using jewels fashioned in the shape of snow crystals.
Which cost me a pretty rupie, but I don't mind.
I prefer to enjoy my holiday seasons!

Oh, (Captain), what timing!
You see, I'm making ornaments to hang up on the tree.
They're silhouettes of our friends aboard the airship cut from gemstones.
This is Lyria... This is Katalina...
And here's you.
I think they turned out pretty well, but I wouldn't mind a second opinion.
Teehee, if you like them, that's all I need to know.
They would look grand hanging high up in the top branches. Will you help me get them up there, (Captain)?

(Captain), get a load of this giant turkey!
I mean, just look at how plump it is! I found it while shopping in town earlier.
Though it did cost me a pretty rupie...
But I guess a bit of expenditure's to be expected for an occasion like this.
After all, nothing beats roast turkey for the holidays. Hehe.
We'll be having it for dinner tonight. It's gonna be great.

There's something I'd like to discuss with you, (Captain). You've noticed that we have quite a few children on board the ship, haven't you?
I was thinking about dressing up as Santa and handing out gifts to the kids.
What'd you just say? We've got the real Santa, so we don't need some old man imposter?
How dare you! There are two things wrong with that!
First of all I'm still in the prime of life, and you'd do well not to forget that!
And secondly, Santa isn't real—
Gwah! Oof! Ugh!
Pwaaah!
Pwaaah! What was that for, (Captain)... Huff... I thought I was going to die...

Rrrgh... (Captain)... Season's... Ngh... Greetings... Urk!
Ah... As you can likely tell, my body's in quite a lot of pain.
An embarrassing story, really... It happened yesterday when I helped hunt for tonight's supper.
I must've strained myself too hard, because I can barely move today!
I was just so excited to see the children happy... But it appears I must have gone a bit overboard.
Bah, don't mind me though, (Captain). As long as you're having a good time, that's all that matters.
Did you enjoy the meal? If so, I'd say it was all worth... it... Yeowch!

Hah hah hah! This is quite the tree, don't you think?
I wanted to see the surprise on the faces of you and the kids in the crew, so I decorated it last night.
What do you mean? It was for the boys and girls. A little task like this isn't a burden at all, but...
R-rrrmph...
Haugh!
Maybe I used some muscles I normally don't... Because in a single instant, my body started crying out...
And I couldn't move at all, so I spent the night here.
(Captain), I do apologize, but would you mind carrying me back to my quarters?

(Captain)! Can I have a moment of your time? I must tell you of a great miracle that has happened!
When I woke in the morn, I found by my pillow... A gift from Santa!
Oh, my apologies! I've been carrying on in the most undignified manner. I was very eager to share my joy with someone, see.
But I get ahead of myself. I haven't even glanced at the contents. Let me open it now.
! Why, this is... A ticket for a shoulder massage? Oh? It appears there's also a letter. Let's see here...
"Hey, pops! Man, you always look like somethin' the cat dragged in! Well now, you can just say the word, and I'll give you a shoulder rub, 'kay?"
Hm? I say, (Captain), was Santa Claus always one to speak with such frivolity?

(Captain), could I speak to you for a moment?
Last year, Vyrn left tickets for shoulder massages on my pillow. I was thinking of returning the favor somehow.
But I'm not sure what gift would please him, and I haven't been able to come up with anything good.
It would be great if you could, as Vyrn's partner, share any ideas you have.
Hmm... Apples... Of course. I was afraid a gift of fruit might not be elegant enough, but if he loves apples that much...
What's that? I could try traveling to different islands and gathering products made from apples...
What a wonderful idea! Thank you for the advice.

Did you enjoy the meal? If so, I'd say it was all worth... it... Yeowch!

Hah hah hah! This is quite the tree, don't you think?
I wanted to see the surprise on the faces of you and the kids in the crew, so I decorated it last night.
What do you mean? It was for the boys and girls. A little task like this isn't a burden at all, but...
R-rrrmph...
Haugh!
Maybe I used some muscles I normally don't... Because in a single instant, my body started crying out...
And I couldn't move at all, so I spent the night here.
(Captain), I do apologize, but would you mind carrying me back to my quarters?

(Captain)! Can I have a moment of your time? I must tell you of a great miracle that has happened!
When I woke in the morn, I found by my pillow... A gift from Santa!
Oh, my apologies! I've been carrying on in the most undignified manner. I was very eager to share my joy with someone, see.
But I get ahead of myself. I haven't even glanced at the contents. Let me open it now.
! Why, this is... A ticket for a shoulder massage? Oh? It appears there's also a letter. Let's see here...
"Hey, pops! Man, you always look like somethin' the cat dragged in! Well now, you can just say the word, and I'll give you a shoulder rub, 'kay?"
Hm? I say, (Captain), was Santa Claus always one to speak with such frivolity?

A new year! A chance to become a new person!
I swear I won't complain, or rush recklessly into trouble anymore! I shall change for the better!
Huh? Oh, it's just you, (Captain).
Haha... I apologize for making a fool of myself in front of you.
Since you're already here... I should make my vows again for my captain.
I promise to become a man capable of facing any challenge!
You see, watching over you and the crew reminds me that anything is possible so long as we stick together and protect one another.

Wow, the city lights are so beautiful tonight.
Teehee, spending the day with you makes me feel like a rebel.
Why? Well I was always decorating the altar this time of year when I was still a maiden.
But here I am enjoying the day with you, Captain. I wonder how everyone's doing at the altar.
Anyway, I have a present for you. I hope you like it!

Ouch...
I made cake for the holiday party, but I accidentally burned my hand a bit when I was taking it out of the oven.
Hehe... Guess I should've been more careful.
Ah, it's all better now... So you can use curative magic, huh? Thanks, (Captain).
Hm? You want to know what kind of cake it was? Nuh-uh, too early for that. Teehee, you'll have to wait until the party.

Okay, the sponge is about to cool down.
(Captain), what toppings would you like on the cake?
Apple, cherry, and orange? Okay, I'll add some strawberries for myself. Let's see, how should I cut this...
First, I need to place the fruit and apply whipped cream. Hehe, just a little bit longer.
Hm? Whipped cream? Of course I can make it.
Like this...
Okay, I cut the cake into three pieces of the same size. I've been practicing this recipe every day, you know—
Wha! Wouldn't it be more enjoyable to take a look at it before biting in, (Captain)? Sigh...
So how is it? Should I make another one? Haha.

I love seeing all the holiday decorations in town. It never gets old.
Sparkly lights, jolly music, and people in a merry mood...
Brr, it's getting cold. I wonder if it'll snow.
Um... Is it okay if we hold hands?
My fingertips are freezing...
...
Ah, much better.
Thanks for keeping me warm, (Captain).

Diantha: Oh... Look, (Captain). It's snowing.
(Captain): A...
Diantha: A?
(Captain): Achoooo!
Diantha: Whoa! That was a big sneeze... Are you okay? It is pretty cold today.
All right, guess I'll...
Hehe. Surprised? I've always wanted to give you a hug like this.
I really love snow, you know. It's beautiful and all, of course...
But when it snows, you can stand close to someone you love and warm them up, just like what we're doing now.
Hehe... Feeling better? Your face is a little red.
(Captain)... Hug me tighter, will you?
I wish it'd snowed all year long like this...

Happy, happy holidays!
What a fun-filled day! Can I interest you in anything? Cake, perhaps? Just jingle the bell and let me know what you want, okay?
You know, Santa never visited me, but that's all right.
I still love celebrating the holidays with Claudia and everyone!

Hum, hum, hum. Hum... Oh, hello, (Captain).
Couldn't wait to see me? I knew it! But now's not the time yet.
I'm working hard to make tonight's feast and cake extra special, so please wait just a tiny bit longer.

Wow, it's really piling up. The view outside is truly becoming a winter wonderland!
We had snow where I was from too, but as a kid I tried so hard to avoid the cold. It didn't leave a nice impression on me.
Now that I look at it again, it really is quite pretty. Winter nights full of holiday cheer are nice, but I don't mind these quiet moments either.
It makes me happy knowing I can serve you on your journey, (Captain).

Shall we cut a slice of cake, Master? Do you want seconds of anything? Can I top off your drink?
If there's anything more you want, please don't hesitate to tell me, and I'll get right on it!
Yes? Two large stockings, you say?
Ah! You need something for Santa to stuff presents in!
Understood! I'll have them for you in no time!
Hm, you did say two, right? Why do you need two?
One's for me?
You want me to ask Santa for something too?
Teehee, thank you. In that case I'll hang my stocking right next to yours!

Come and have a peek at this splendid cake! The crew and I decorated and decorated to our heart's content, and it turned out so very colorful!
I also had help fixing the other dishes, and I believe they came out quite well!
Well, if I were to speak frankly, I would've liked to prepare your meal all on my own...
But I had such fun cooking with the others, talking and laughing the whole time.
There is no such thing as too much merriment during the holidays, after all.
Still, I simply won't allow anyone else to spoon-feed you. Oh, please wait for me to attend to you, Master!

Dorothy: Happy holidays, Master! We're pulling out all the stops to make you a fantastic dinner!
Claudia: ...
Dorothy: Yeah, yeah, I know, Claudia! Don't worry—I'll keep the kitchen clean!
Claudia: Please do. Because this is a kitchen that we, as you put it, pull out all the stops to keep tidy.

Claudia: Coldest night... A beautiful flower frolics in the snow... Hehe...
Dorothy: Gasp! Master! Lyria's in danger. Don't let Claudia get near her!
I'm too busy preparing a meal, so I can't protect her myself!
Claudia: Always thinking the worst of people... I wouldn't hurt a fly. Honest.
Dorothy: Don't listen to her, Master!

Dorothy: W-why, Claudia! Whatever are you doing, sneaking about so late at night?
Claudia: Why must you speak in such an accusatory manner?
I was simply hoping to leave a present by Lyria's pillow.
Rather, might I ask what you're doing? I believe that hall leads to (Captain)'s quarters.
You could not possibly be meaning to steal into (Captain)'s bedchamber...
Dorothy: I-I would never! I only meant to slip a present in Master's stocking!
Dorothy & Claudia: ...
Dorothy: Claudia, I believe it may be prudent to simply act...
Claudia: As if neither of us saw anything, correct?

Dorothy: Have no fear! Claudia and I can take care of this year's decorations and feast again!
Claudia: It seems like a lot of work for us every year? Oh, please. Don't underestimate us. This much is child's play.
Besides, it hardly feels like work when we know Lyria and the other crew members are looking forward to it.
Dorothy: Exactly! Master's trust in our abilities is the best holiday gift of all!
It's actually fun to clean and cook together. Right, Claudia?
Claudia: Well, you certainly know how to increase the workload with your explosions, at least.
Dorothy: Awww, don't be like that! I know you have fun teaming up with me!
Claudia: I wonder. But that's enough chitchat. Let's get started.

Dorothy: Master, there's enough powder out there to bury you in! You can't possibly go to a snowball fight in your shirtsleeves!
Claudia: You're free to have your fun, but please put on something warmer. You're just asking to catch a cold.
Though if you insist, I'm perfectly happy to let you take responsibility for your own choices.
Now, Lyria, on the other hand... No chill must be allowed to seep through her delicate frame.
But, yes... On the off chance that it does, I suppose I shall just have to envelop her in a warm embrace... Hee... Hehe...
Dorothy: What! Well, if you're going to act like that, Claudia, then I claim all rights to cuddle Master...
Wait. Master? Master?! Where've you gone?!

Hey, hey! 'Tis the season to be jolly!
How's the tree? How's the ornaments? Got the stockings ready?
Oh! Hope you have a nice big turkey in the works too!
Hm? Well how can I not be excited! Today only comes around once a year y'know!
I already have your present all wrapped up! Here you go! Don't open it till tomorrow!

Fa la la la la! La la la la!
Hm? What's that? You wanna know what I'm up to? Are you curious? Super curious?
Oh shucks! I guess since you asked, (Captain), I'll tell you then!
Well, you know what time of year it is! I thought I'd dress up as Santa and pass out some presents!
And now that you're in the know, you can be my little helper, (Captain)!
Now then! Let's make it rain with gifts! We're the stars of the show for tonight!

Heya, (Captain)! Been waiting forever for you!
C'mon, let's be Santas together this year! Just imagine the smiles on the childrens' faces! What do ya say?
Sturm? You know she'd never agree to do that! Believe me, I ask her every year.
A pity really too! I just know she'll look great in a Santa outfit.
But you won't let me down, will ya? I can count on you, can't I? Right?
Yes! That's the spirit!

(Captain)! Happy holidays!
It seems like it's that time of the year again for us to get to work.
We're going to dress up and pass out presents!
Hm? You're willing? That's perfect!
Wait... What is that brown clothing?
A reindeer? Me?
Hold on! I'm glad you took the time to get this costume for me...
But I wanted to be Santa! Just kidding...
Ahaha...

Oh, (Captain)! Take a look at this!
I tried putting the sphere I use on my nose. Isn't it cute?
Well, you know how you suggested I dress up as a reindeer last year?
I thought about it and realized that it actually kind of suits me. I mean, we both do things without being recognized for it.
Reindeer have shiny noses, right? So I tried putting this sphere on my nose and I ended up really liking it.
Huh? You're going to get on the sleigh with all the presents and I'm supposed to pull it as the reindeer? Ah, yes, I guess that is what reindeers do...
Oh, Sturm!
Hey, Sturm, you want to be a reindeer with me? I'm sure this reindeer costume will look great on you—
Ouch!

Santa's coming tonight! Aren't you excited!
Huh? What was that, (Captain)? Yes, I told you—I'm a full grown woman now!
What? Santa doesn't come for grown-ups?
O-of course I know that! What do you take me for!
No! I wasn't expecting Santa to come! I'm all grown up after all!
(Sob, sob. My presents...)

Why hello, (Captain). Happy holidays!
This year we had a splendid feast. Though, it's not as fantastic as any party my house has ever held.
You want... to know more about my parties?
Haha... Alright, I'll tell you.
In halls as large as ships, we partook of an extraordinary meal and... We had the most famous guests we could find!
Then... In the evening, my great grandmother would tell us a story...
Those times were so wonderful...
...
Oh no... It's nothing. Please don't pat me.
Everyone here is oh so kind. I really am... grateful to you.
That is why this night will also be great!
Oh... Please stop coddling me!

What? You want to put decorations on the tree? Allow me to assist!
The party will be evermore the better with sparkly things hanging to and fro.
Hm? This stone is beautiful! What would this fetch? A pretty rupie, I suppose...
What! How can that be... Is it really worth so little?
Well... I already knew that!
I only meant that this silly rock would easily be mistaken for something of more value!
Enough prattle. Hurry up and decorate the tree!

Look, (Captain)! It's snowing! It's just what we need for a festive holiday!
You think I'm making way too big of a deal about it? Well, I just thought seeing snow would lift everyone's spirits!
The snow piles atop the holiday tree with the sparkle of the holiday lights, and the children merrily make their snowmen...
It's as if the town puts on its face to delight and please all who dwell within it... Ah, how picturesque, don't you think? I read the scene in a book!
I am a lady after all! So it shouldn't come as a surprise that I find such joy in simply taking in sights and sounds! Rather than sully myself in the snow, I—
Huh? You want to play with me in the snow, (Captain)? And you won't budge until I say "yes"?
Haha, very well then! I suppose I can accompany you for a bit!

(Captain)! You won't believe it!
There was a present next to me when I woke up this morning! Santa must've come last night!
Hehehe! Guess being a good girl has its merits! I even ate the veggies I hated...
Ah!
A lady s-such as myself wasn't waiting for a gift or anything, but since he already left one, I may as well take it.
Huh? So why did I put a big sock next to my bed?
H-how did you know about that?
A-anyway, I just wanted one there! That's all!
Hey, why are you patting me on the head!

Hm. Has the holiday evening come upon us already? I advise you head to bed soon, child.
Oh? You claim you are a child no longer? My, what an amusing thing to say...

Since time immemorial, it is customary for children to sleep early on holiday eves such as this. You would be well served to follow.
You ask about my childhood? Hrm... I find it difficult to remember such things.
To forget requires time commensurate to one's experience. A span difficult to express in words.
If the passage of time is what makes someone who they are, what does it mean to forget...
Even now... there is much I do not understand.

Mm? What's this... You're still awake? You know what night it is. Children should go to sleep early on this night.
For children to grow, they should eat well and sleep well. You can play well and study well afterward.
Compared to the growth of adults, children develop exceptionally quickly. Do not neglect creating a basis for your own growth.
There are things that you can only accomplish when you are young. But you won't know this at the time.
What? You're no longer a child? Gahaha! Just what a child would say!

The night is upon us. And our stomachs are filled. May I suggest you return to your quarters to rest up, child?
Santa Claus may very well come by and leave you a fair helping of rupies after gazing upon your resting countenance.
Why Santa, you ask? That's a mystery for the ages.
Perhaps he means to be jolly. Or perhaps he has a deeper conviction.
Or perhaps he simply wishes to frolic with you. The truth is known only to the big red man himself.
But his endeavors over the years define who he is.
The beliefs in one's heart gives way to action. Which in turn further develops a sound mind and body. Everything goes hand in hand.
Which is why I ask you to turn in early, child. Getting a good night's rest regularly leads to strength of character.

A gift for the holy night. Take this, (Captain).
There are countless things one cannot recover, and countless things one must let go of in the journey through life.
There are also things one realizes the importance of only after they are lost.
They are all things that can only be understood when one looks back on them.
That is why it is wise to gain as many experiences as you can when the opportunity presents itself.
This peace and quiet is not something that can be easily attained. You would do well to appreciate it while it lasts.

Achoo!
Mmm hmm... (Urgh... I guess I shouldn't be surprised that it's cold when there's snow falling...)
Hmm.... mmm hmm? (Hm? You think I ought to go back to my room so I don't get sick?)
Mmm... hmm, mmm mmph? (You're probably right... But I'd like to stay outside just a bit longer.)
Mmph, hmmm... (The snow is so beautiful. It'd be a shame not to enjoy it.)
Mm, mmm hmph? (Really? You'll stay with me?)
Mmm! Mmph... hmm mmm! (Thank you! It would have been kind of lonely watching the snow fall by myself.)
Mmm... (And...)

Happy holidays, (Captain). Care to help me decorate the tree?
I'm spearheading the tree initiative. I have a wide variety of ornaments ready to be hung.
Checkered stockings, ribbons, snowmen—you name it.
Personally, I'm fond of the reindeer ones. Aren't they the cutest?
Choose: For sure.
You have good taste, (Captain).
The moment I laid eyes on these little cuties, it was love at first sight—
Ulp!
A-actually, I don't think these are all that cute! They're pretty boring now that I really study them!
Cough, cough. Anyway, you came to help decorate, right? Come on, let's get started.

I like this plush, but the family's already so large as it is...
Choose: Whatcha looking at?
...! (Captain)!
What brings you here?
You're present hunting for the crew?
Right, of course. I guess I wasn't expecting to bump into you at the same shop...
And before you ask, no, it wasn't the allure of these adorable stuffed animals that drew me into this establishment.
Ahem. Since you're here, there's something I'd like to discuss with you.
I'm struggling with the usual issue that always plagues this holiday: what gifts should I buy?
Would you be able to give me a few hints about people's preferences?
Great, thank you.
By the way, I don't mean to intrude on your shopping excursion, but if you're shopping for Yuisis, I'd be glad to accompany you.
No one knows her tastes better than I do, after all.

Happy holidays to you too!
Don't worry, (Captain), just leave the cooking to me!

Mwahaha... I'm honored you chose me to make a holiday feast!
Everyone's going to love it! I stake my reputation as a cook on it!
Grilled chicken, roast beef, salads, assorted cookies, and cakes! Oh, I can't wait!

Check out this gorgeous pattern on my cleaver when I raise it up to the snowy moonlit sky!
I need to keep this massive cleaver in tip-top shape if I'm to make you the best food on this side of the skies!
I'll treat you to a super nice gourmet meal once I'm done sharpening this thing!

What! You really want to help me prepare the holiday feast?
Hehe. I understand that feeling.
I bet your homemade food will make the best present ever!
Hehe. And I'm proud that you've chosen me to be your sous chef.
Oh, we'd better get our aprons on.
Let's get cooking! We'll make an amazing dinner for our beloved crewmates!

Let's see... Next I need to prepare these... Oh, but before that I need to check on the stuff that's cooking over there...
Whoa! (Captain)! Are you here to help? You're a real lifesaver!
The more crew members that join, the more mouths I have to feed, so my hands are always full when it's dinnertime!
Hehe! Not that I'm complaining, of course! Nothing makes me happier than having everyone enjoy my food!
Now then, there's not much work left before we're done! Let's pick up the pace and feed our hungry crew!

What? You want me to make you roast chicken?
You punk... You think I'm going to do it just because it involves fire, don't you!
Humph... Yeah, fine. I'll make it for you since it's a special day.

Huh? What's so special about today? Humph. I see.
It's cold and it's dark. How can anyone call this festive?
Light up the night and make it warmer for you?
Yeah, I think you got me confused for a fireplace.
Tch. Persistent brat. Fine, come closer.
...

Gyahaha! Burn baby burn! Ohh yeah, there's a good girl.
Huh? Oh, (Captain), it's you. I was just getting the stove ready for tonight's dinner.
I'm thinkin' a nice juicy turkey cooked to perfection. Mmm, roastin' that baby is gonna feel so good.
And somehow my flames seem to be getting into a jolly mood as well. Ohh man, am I gonna enjoy this.

Whoa, what's this? Lemme guess: you tried to make a giant snowman and messed up?
Wha? This is supposed to be an igloo?
And you want me to get in there and help you start a fire?
We do that, and your igloo's gonna melt away.
Huh? You sure about this? All right, just don't blame me when the snow comes tumbling down on us.
Heh, I'm surprised your little snow hut is actually still standing.
(Captain), might as well come closer to the fire if you're feeling that cold. Relax—I like you too much to turn you into cinders.

Hey, (Captain). What're you doin' outside in the freezing cold snow?
A snowball fight with the kids? Here we are on this special night, and you're up to the same antics as always.
Huh? Hey, don't take off your coat just 'cause you're hot. That goes for you kids over there too.
If you're all sweaty, maybe it's about time to call it quits. There's chicken fresh outta the oven waiting for you.
Seems like a good time to start the party. I'll get some hot drinks ready while you change.

When you wander the streets on the year's most joyful night, you can always hear carols.
Whether they're inside where it's warm or out in the cold, everyone celebrates the occasion by singing.
I used to just sing along by myself when I heard caroling, but I want to sing with my friends this year.
Why don't we all sing a song, (Captain)? I'm sure it will be fun!

Happy holidays, (Captain).
Everyone's enjoying the festivities, aren't they?
And that's why, um...
If it's okay... During the party, there's something I'd like to sing...
It's okay? Hurray!
I'll perform my heart out so this sacred night is a festive one for all!

The holidays certainly are chilly this year... I wonder if everyone's finished setting up for the party?
I'd like to play a song as soon as I get back to the inn, but my hands are so frozen I can't really move them...
I'm sorry... Could you give me a moment? I won't be able to strum the strings like this.
Huh? My hands? But why?
Wha! Y-you want to hold them and warm them up?
Th-this is a rather embarrassing...
But your hands are very warm, Captain...
Suddenly I feel like I could give my best performance ever. I'll be sure to make this party a festive one!

(Captain)? What are you doing awake? Can't fall asleep?
Ehehe, I can't fall asleep either. Maybe I'm still a little too excited from our holiday party.
I'm glad I ran into you though. It's almost like an early present from Santa Claus.
Oh, speaking of which, how about I play you a song before the day's over?
Okay! I'll play something nice and soothing to help you go to sleep.

The holiday concert is about to start, (Captain).
I'm very honored to be able to play the first piece in the concert... I hope you enjoy it!
Hm? How come I don't seem nervous, you ask?
That's true, I usually am just before a performance...
But right now, I'm more excited to have everyone listen to it!
You think I've changed? Really?
Um, do you mean for the better... or for worse?
For the better? Haha, thank goodness!
Thank you for telling me that! It makes me really happy.
Hehe, what a great holiday present... I'll make sure to return the favor with my performance!

Ah, (Captain). To what do I owe the pleasure?
You came to see me? I've been enjoying this holiest of nights with Kydoimos.
Choose: You aren't going to the party?
No. If I attend the festivities, I would be putting everyone on edge.
Please return without me. I'll be fine.
Or would you prefer to stay with Kydoimos and I?
Hehe. Well, that doesn't sound too bad.
I would have you all to myself, until the first light of morning.
I imagine that would disturb the crew greatly if they found out...
So what will you do? Spend the night with me? I promise to make it worth your while.
We'll do things to make your crew members despair their lives away.

This "Santa Claus" character... He's supposed to be someone who brings presents to good children?
So you're saying if I were to trample him myself, the lamentations of children would be heard across the skies.
Hehe... Thank you for sharing this with me.
We ought to make haste, (Captain). If we don't find him by nightfall it'll be too late.
Heh. Imagine the grief on their faces after not getting anything from Santa Claus.
It's already put a smile on my face.
Do you get a present from Santa every year as well, (Captain)?
Is that so?
It seems then that I'll have to make a move soon.
I can't let this opportunity to see you suffer go to waste after all.

It seems everything's in order.
The reindeer... Well, I'm sure Kydoimos can take on the role well enough.
Oh, (Captain). What are you up to at this hour?
What am I up to? Hehe. I suppose you could say I'm making preparations to imitate Santa Claus.
Last year, I had an epiphany.
I realized that even if I were to imitate Santa Claus, I couldn't see the distraught expressions of children up close.
That's precisely why I must become the one, the only, the bonafide Santa Claus this year.
I'll become Santa Claus and give the ultimate present of despair.
That's right. The children will wait in anticipation only to be met with deceit. What sort of expressions of despair will they show me, I wonder?
Hehe. I can't help but smirk just imagining them.
Well then, if you'll excuse me I have—
Why are you pointing your weapon at me, (Captain)?
I see... You intend to impede me, huh.
If that's the case, I'll hand over your present first and foremost.
A present named "deceit."
Don't worry. This is just a taste of what's to come.
It's far too early to spoil the real deal.

Oh, hey, (Captain)! Hope you don't mind me borrowing the kitchen!
What am I making, you ask? Well, you know how we have a few children in the crew?
I thought I'd bake them some holiday treats for the occasion.
Well, you're looking awfully surprised that I'd do something like this.
I'm not half bad at cooking, you know.
(Captain), if you have a moment, would you help me wrap up the treats?
In exchange, I'll give you some bonus snacks I made using leftover ingredients!
Haha, thanks! Hope these brighten up the children's day!

(Captain)! Happy holidays!
Oh, and great timing! I have a question for you. Which decorations do you think I should go with for the tree?
I've got this standard cutesy style, or this kinda old-school, retro vibe that's pretty cool...
By the way, I was shocked when I opened up the storeroom. There were enough holiday trinkets in there to open up a specialty store!
Do you change up the decor every year? I feel like last year I saw a bunch of handmade stuff...
Oh, so crew members just put up whatever they want when the holiday rolls around? Wow, now all those crafts in the storeroom make sense.
Guess I should try making something myself too then, huh!
I might not look it, but I'm pretty good with my hands! For example...
Check out this pouch! Cute right? It was made by yours truly.
Hey, (Captain), why don't we fashion decorations together!
Crafting is so much more fun with a friend! Wait here, I'll go grab materials!

More snow? I'm so tired of seeing snow.
But the snow today somehow feels special.
It must be because you're beside me, (Captain).
Sorry if that seemed a bit direct.
(Captain), let's just forget about everything happening outside and enjoy watching the snow for a while.

Santa Claus... The person who delivers presents on the holy night...
No, I'm not interested in Santa. I'm interested in his reindeer.
I read they're super fluffy and gentle creatures.
Hehe. I wonder how they really feel. I wanna touch one...
Can't it be nighttime already? Then I might be able to see one of them.
You don't need to ask! You already know I'm not going to sleep! This is my chance!

I didn't get to see any reindeer last year... Even though I waited up all night...
Hm? No. This year I'm not going to wait. There's no guarantee I'll get to see them even if I do.
Plus, there's something else that I'm more interested in anyways.
Say, (Captain). Do you know anything about polar bears?
They're much fluffier and cuter than any reindeer.
I looked it up in a book, and it turns out they live around here.
So I'd like to go see one. (Captain)... would you come with me?
I'm still not used to going outside...
Is that a yes?
Thank you. Let's get going.
Hehe. I wonder what kind of animal it is. I'm so excited.

What? This stuffed animal is for me, as a present for the holidays?
I see...
Can I ask you a question? What animal is this?
It's a fox? So this is what a fox looks like.
Hehe, it's quite soft and cute. I almost feel compelled to embrace it...
(Captain), thank you. I'll take good care of this one.

(Captain), can I talk to you for a moment?
Last year, you gave me a fox plushie, remember? It's very cute...
So I... I kind of want another one...
Since it looks quite lonely without a friend.
But I'm not sure I'm ready to go to the store by myself...
That's why I was wondering if you'd go with me.
You will? Thank you!
A new, soft stuffed animal... Hehehe...

Captain, is something going on? Everyone seems to be in particularly good spirits for some reason.
Happy holidays? I'm not sure I understand, but seeing everyone else having fun puts me in a good mood, too.
Care to tell me about these holidays of yours, Captain? I'm sure I'll have even more fun once I know the details!

You told me of what this night meant last year, (Captain).
So this year I know the proper greeting for the season.
Happy holidays!
Did I get it right?

On this night, the town sparkles like the starry sky.
I like that the darkness does not truly fall.
Not... Not that I am scared! But everyone can enjoy the twinkling lights.
So a bright night is best. That is all.
(Captain)... Why are you laughing?

I heard a mysterious elder dressed in red enters people's homes on this night every year.
I will not sleep. I will stand guard by the children's rooms.
What? The elder distributes presents to the children? Then... he is a good person?
I see. In that case, I should show my appreciation for his kindness. I still will not be sleeping.

I have a present for you: a feather charm.
I prepared one for each member of the crew to hand out on this special day. I will be Santa.
Their smiles please me greatly. A wonderful thing.
Giving them to everyone will take time, but I'll do my best.
You get the first one, (Captain). I hope you like it.

I see. In that case, I should show my appreciation for his kindness. I still will not be sleeping.

I have a present for you: a feather charm.
I prepared one for each member of the crew to hand out on this special day. I will be Santa.
Their smiles please me greatly. A wonderful thing.
Giving them to everyone will take time, but I'll do my best.
You get the first one, (Captain). I hope you like it.

Snore... Got any o' that holiday pudding?
Hum-mum...
Sleeping expends energy, you know...
Hum... I need sweets to hibernate...
Happy... holi—snooze...

I managed to escape from the tots in the crew just a while ago. They were hounding me to teach them how to talk in their sleep.
Hum-mum... It seems they'd like to thank Old Man Santa for their gifts.
Hoho, reminds me of myself at that age. I was exactly like them.
After all these years have passed me by, I still do not know who that bearded man is.
Perhaps I could use my sleeping facade to my advantage tonight and thank him when he stops by. Snore...

Snore... Oh... It's snowing.
Snow's nice. It covers everything as far as the eye can see, absorbing imperfections and sound into a blank sheet.
Over the years, I've found that achieving peace of mind requires emotional restraint...
But it's pleasant to achieve peace without such constraints.
Yawn... Quite calming too... Snore...

Snore... Sniff...
Do I detect the tantalizing scents of seasoned meats wafting over from the kitchen? Oh this brings back memories...
Hum... My wife used to cook holiday dinners using these same spices.
She'd always ask me to guess what she'd used, and I could never manage to get it right...
But even my incorrect guesses brought a smile to her face.
Yawn... Enjoy your holiday dinner tonight to the fullest, young skyfarer. These moments should be treasured.

Snore... Sniff... Hmmm...
I know this creeping feeling... It's spreading throughout my body...
The holy night, so clear and tranquil, has come upon us again...
Yawn... It is on days such as these that my mind and body seek to rest...
That is to say... I'm growing tired... as I always do... Today is an excellent day to sleep...
Join me, young skyfarer. Together... Yawn... We can enjoy the wonders of a good nap...

Happy holidays to ya!
Ah! This here dinner spread is pretty tasty!
Wuzzat? I said the same thing last night? There's no shame in havin' a good meal two days in a row, ya know!

Heya, (Captain). I've got somethin' I need to ask ya. Have ya got a sec?
Ya might not have guessed it, but I've kinda got an eye for sweets.
So when ya cut the cake, could ya cut me a piece and bring it later?
If Apollo ever saw me doin' that, she'd give me an earful for sure.
Gahahah. I'd tell her to give it a rest, but I guess she's just watchin' out for me in her own way.

Whoa there... Now that's what I call a cake! What bakery did ya stumble upon?
Oho! Don't tell me you made it yourself! Well color me surprised.
Incredible... You can just make a cake whenever you're feelin' up to it?
You're really somethin', ya know that? I'll do anything I can to help—just make another one!

Hey, (Captain). You're gonna decorate a tree this year too, right?
Bahaha! I knew it. You always go big on these seasonal customs.
So anyway, I broughtcha one. A tree, that is.
You can't really enjoy tonight without a tree, now, can ya?
What? I'm in way too good a mood?
Dummy. When it comes to holidays, he who has the biggest blast wins. Didn't you know?
So let's party our hearts out, (Captain)!

A snowball fight in this freezin' weather? You youngsters are mighty lively.
Sorry, but I'm gonna pass. I don't have any energy when it's this cold. Old guys like me have trouble regulatin' their body temperature.
On that note, I think I'll head inside where it's nice an' warm to help with the holiday feast.
Huh? Well yeah, 'course I'm lookin' forward to it.
This is the night where I get to enjoy top-class grub and booze while admirin' a gorgeous tree. And there's even cake to top it all off.
Bahaha! Nothin' beats a holiday feast!

(Captain), is everything okay? It's surprising to see you come out to town alone.
Me? I'm shopping for the party later.
Anyway, would you believe how lively it is out here today?
Is this how it usually is during the holidays?
I find it a bit noisy, but not altogether unpleasant.
What I do like is the smiles on everyone's faces...
It's quite a beautiful sight in its own way.
There is so much charm to be found in this world.
Just as Gabriel and the supreme primarch told me.

Look, (Captain). The town is positively glittering. These kinds of decorations only come out around the holidays.
They're so lovely... What a wonderful way to celebrate.
I can understand skydwellers' desire to spend such a special occasion with someone they care about.
That wish has already been granted for me—here I am, walking side by side with you after such a pleasant shopping trip.
Haha... I suppose we should get back to the ship. I'm sure preparations for the party are finished. Everyone must be waiting on us.
Still, there's no need to hurry...

(Captain), take a good look around. There is a distinct lack of snow, despite the approaching holiday.
I've heard that the celebration is improved drastically by the addition of snow.
I am inclined to believe it true. A world covered in pure white is a beautiful sight to behold. It puts the heart at ease.
And yet not a single snowflake is in sight...
Perhaps I should use my power and gather snow around the town myself...
Though leaving the matter to nature might be a better course. I'll place my faith in the skies.
Besides, there is a certain charm in waiting for snowfall together, don't you think?
Would you like to join me this evening, (Captain)?

(Captain), look outside. See? It's snowing.
At this rate, I have no doubt it will accumulate and paint this special night a brilliant white.
By the way, are you alone right now?
Could you lend me your ear for a moment? If you don't mind, that is...
Would you like to disembark from the ship together for a while?
Hehe. I'd like to try strolling through the snow-covered streets, just the two of us.
But I wonder why it is... When I get close to your face like that, my body feels like it's on fire...
Surely going out in the frosty weather will help cool me down.
Now, (Captain)—please rescue me from this blaze. Quietly...

It's gotten quite chilly. Are you cold, (Captain)? Do you mind if I touch your hand?
My, it's freezing. I'll use my own hand to warm it up, so let's continue on like this for now.
By the way, what are your plans for this evening?
Oh, of course... There's going to be a holiday party on the ship. How silly of me...
Er... I'm very much looking forward to the festivities, but I plan to excuse myself early.
If possible, could you come to my room by yourself after everything winds down?
I'd like to celebrate this night together in private, just the two of us... if you would be willing.
Knock three times, nice and slowly...
Hehe. That will be our secret signal. I'll make sure to tidy up my room, so I look forward to seeing you.
I plan to entrust the entirety of this special night to you, (Captain).

I quite enjoy days like today.
Peace and quiet draws near. A good day.
You're not going anywhere?
Then stay here.
No deep meaning intended. But you'll find more relaxation that way.

What's up? Did you come by for something?
No, you don't need a reason to come see me.
You're free to visit me anytime, (Captain).
It's getting chilly out there... Care to spend the day with me, (Captain)?

Sharing my warmth with you isn't bad at all.

(Augh, what is it now? The commoners are running around at such an early hour!)
(I've got nowhere to stand but in this corner... How dare they do this to me!)
(Sigh...)
Spotting the cat curled up in the corner of the room, (Captain) reaches down to pet it.
(Singularity? What is it now... You've been so busy with your tasks and ignoring me all day... Hm?)
(A winter feast... You mean food? And Santa Claus... means presents, right?)
(Oho! Those who've been good receive gifts, don't they? Well I've been really good!)
(All right, then I guess I can put up with a little bit of noise, if that means I get a feast and gifts!)

(Captain) spots the figure of a cat sitting under the festive tree that decorates the ship's deck.
(Why is there a tree here, of all places? It's in the way of my sunbathing!)
Rrreow! Meow! Meow!
(Captain) watches with wide eyes as the cat begins to punch at the tree.
Meow, meow!
Meow?
(What! Ow, something poked my paw! That hurts!)
The captain lifts up the flailing cat, a needle from the tree caught between the pads of her paw.
(Waaah! Hurry up and do something about this prickly thing, Singularity!)
(And while you're at it, give me pats and something good to eat! I'm having a bad day here!)

Hm... To what end do these people decorate a simple tree? It's beyond me.
What a waste of time. They should be grooming and praising me instead!
You! Hand me that sparkly garland, Singularity! Right now!
(Captain) is busy decorating the tree but stops for a moment to adorn the fussy Ewiyar in tinsel.
Purrr. Aren't I just the cutest? None of you deserve to see me in all my glory.
I'm simply meant to don glittering attire. Plant life simply can't compare!
Singularity, I shall allow you the privilege of adorning my body with your mortal ornaments, for I am a magnanimous wedge.

So it's the merriest day of the year. Ha! What a joke. Just because someone named the day doesn't make it special.
And only fools would go so far as to celebrate it. Peace is only temporary, and we have better things to do.
Still... I guess it's not a bad thing that people can enjoy themselves once in a while. But whatever.

Another merry day... Only because the night was longest on this day did someone decide to give it a name.
Fools are led astray by beautiful words and let themselves prance and hop.
I'm not saying it's wrong to relax now and then... I'm saying to keep that to a minimum.
Don't let yourself be another one of those idiots.

Just another excuse for people to frolic meaninglessly...
And yet some call this the holy night... How pretentious.
I suppose there are those who require such excuse to indulge themselves.
For them, this night must have significance.
Appreciation may be appropriate for those who cannot otherwise unwind in their daily lives.
However, there is nothing more inexcusable than unfettered merry. Even if it is the holiest night.

This is the day of the year when everyone on the ship can have a moment of rest and relaxation.
Therefore I suppose it's only fitting that some call it a holy night.
One could say the crew is only able enjoy this respite as a result of the achievements your daily efforts have wrought.
Enough with the vacant expression. Considering you're captain of this crew, all that should go without saying.
It wouldn't do to let it go to your head, but you should at least give yourself credit where credit is due.
The night is still young. I will take this opportunity to unwind briefly. You ought to get some rest as well.

Hm? What are you doing here, (Captain)?
Dinner ended quite a while ago—there shouldn't be anything else of interest. It's time you went back to your room.
You're the captain of this crew. What kind of example would you be setting for the crew if you caught a cold from walking about at night?
If you understand what I'm saying, then hurry up and...
Fine... I'll escort you. We wouldn't want you wandering off somewhere again, would we?
Some others might attempt to rope you into their foolish festivities... I'll make sure you safely return to your room myself.
To think I'd make assumptions without consulting the amethysts... It seems being on this ship has had more influence on me than I thought.
Wipe that smirk off your face and get back to your room, (Captain). We can't afford to have you catch a cold.

But this year, I got you something too, (Captain)! I hope you like it!

Teeheehee...
Hm? You're wondering why I'm so happy?
Eheheh...
I'm going on a date with Katalina today!
Katalina's all mine for the day! I couldn't have asked for for a better present! Eheheh...

Happy holidays!
What brings you here, (Captain)?
Katalina and I were making candles! Bunching together different-colored wax makes for really pretty ones!
Katalina's are the prettiest—as pretty as the seas of Auguste!
She said anyone is capable of doing it, but I have to disagree! I was almost moved to tears!
When night falls, I'm going to light up this handmade candle for a private chat with Katalina!
A dreamy fun time with Katalina awaits me tonight!
Oh, I can't wait!

Aha! There you are, (Captain)! I've been looking all over for you.
There's a party tonight, so I came to deliver your invitation.
Wouldn't I rather be spending time with Katalina, you ask?
Heh heh heh. I'm way ahead of you!
You see, the ones hosting the party are me and Katalina!
We're preparing everything, just the two us. So basically I'll get to spend the whole day with her!
It's going to super fun tonight, so I hope you come too.
Well, I'll be going now. I've got more invitations to hand out!
Then after that it's decorations and making foo—Oh no! Katalina! Don't start without me!

Hey, guess what! Katalina asked me to go see the pretty lights in town with her!
An invitation from her is the best present I could ever ask for.
Ehehe, in a way she's my very own Santa.
Huh? You have a present for me, but it looks like I don't need it after all?
Ah, I just remembered! You're my Santa too, (Captain)!
R-really! Sorry, me forgetting was just a brain fart on my part... Besides, look at what I've got!
Ta-da! I made sure to get you a present too! Let's trade!

Farrah and Juri

When (Captain) peeks in on the scene, Farrah is sitting on Juri's shoulder and placing ornaments on a holiday tree.
Farrah: Nnngh... Juri, a little higher!
Juri: Wh-whoa! If you move that much, we're gonna—
Ah!
In a flash, (Captain) catches Farrah and grabs Juri to keep him from falling.
Farrah: P-phew, thanks for the save.
Juri: Appreciate it greatly, (Captain)...
Farrah, we really should've grabbed a stepladder before attempting this.
Farrah: Come on, I was in focus mode! And... also a little too lazy to grab it.
(Captain) quickly settles them both down and offers to help.
Juri: M-me? R-r-ride on your shoulders, (Captain)? I could never...
Farrah: Oh? You're going as red as Santa's hat!
Juri: D-don't tease me like that!

Farrah: Ah, (Captain)! Happy holidays!
Juri: Farrah, where are you running off to?
Oh, (Captain)! Happy holidays!
For a second, Farrah, I thought you were trying to shirk your bag-carrying duties.
Farrah: Of course not! Holiday shopping is as important a job as any other!
I know it was only a game of rock, paper, scissors that I lost, but the deal was that the loser carries all the bags! And I plan to uphold my part of the deal!
Juri: Good...
Huh? You want to help carry the bags, (Captain)? True, there are a lot...
Farrah: Yeah? Thanks a bunch, (Captain)! You can have this, and this, and...
Juri: Farrah! Don't push all the work on our captain!
Farrah: But I thought (Captain) wanted to help?
Juri: Yes, I suppose it would be rude to reject the captain's offer of help... Fine, I'll chip in too!

Farrah: Oh hey, (Captain)! Enjoying the party?
We were just building a snowman with all the kids!
Juri: A problem has reared its head, however. It is the head. It's too big.
Farrah: I told you that you were getting way too into it!
Juri: I just thought the kids would be happier if we made it really big!
Farrah: You should've volunteered to make the body parts then!
Juri: Huh? We decided who would make the head with a game of rock paper scissors, remember?
Farrah: Yeah, and look how that turned out!
How about this then? We turn Juri into a human snowman!
Juri: Huh... wait! Calm down, this isn't funny! I'm sorry, all right?
Farrah: Too late!
Juri: Agh! S-stop it, let go of me! Ahhhh!

Happy holidays!
I heard an old man in red is coming to visit the kids in town today!
Sounds like a true warrior... I'd love to fight him some day!

What's wrong, (Captain)? You're feeling cold?
Then I'll warm you up... by making you quiver at the sight of these fists!
You should feel warmer once you start shaking... I hope!

Hear me out, (Captain). I've got a wish to make.
We're in holiday season—the perfect time to spend with our loved ones. You know what I'm sayin', right?
I want to spend the time off with you. Because you're the only one who can do me this solid.
So you'll hear me out then? Thanks, (Captain)! You rock!
All right, here goes! I took out a few monsters just now, but I'm still itchin' for more!
Let's you and I heat up these ice-cold festivities with a good ol' fashioned romp!
Ooh... (Captain)! You're makin' me feel warm all over!

Deck those halls, (Captain).
I still can't forget that powerful punch you landed on me last year...
The fire within you hit me hard and spread throughout my body!
I want to get stronger, (Captain)!
Scratch that, I have to get stronger!
And I need you to get me there! So if you'd indulge me...
I challenge you to a holiday deathmatch!
Basically we're gonna bust it up all night long without getting a wink of sleep!

(Captain)! Do you hear that! The bells are ringing!
And those battle gongs are telling us to have a rematch! I'll get my revenge for last year!
This must be the blessing of the holy night! You hear them, right?
We're gonna settle this tonight!
Let's see your furious fists! Your screaming soul! We're gonna rock this holy night!

Singularity! The holidays are upon us! Surely you plan on spending the night with your better half.
The perfect opportunity for me to observe dyad activity...
Huh? You plan to be in merriment with the entire crew tonight?
...
So I see it is every single member of the crew that completes your dyad! Most impressive, Singularity! You exceed my wildest expectations!
Huh? I'm mistaken? Hm, you mortals are so difficult to understand...
I give up! I'll just have to see for myself what it means to be in merriment with your crew! Show me, Singularity!

I caaaught youuuuu...
Singularity... I thought you and the girl and blue were a dyad, but you've let many others on the crew do the "ahh" thing with you!
I've learned that this is not only a means of feeding between parent and child, but a dyad activity to show affection!
Surely you don't mean to claim the rest of the crew for yourself!
Sigh... But it is understandable. Mortals tend to be secretive when it comes to who they form dyads with, after all.
Embarrassment, perhaps? I've observed the behavior of mortals enough to understand this much!
But you have no reason to be embarrassed now that it is no longer secret!
Dyad or not, you and the others can show me the ways of copulation! Come along now—don't be shy!

Oh, (Captain)! Today's the big day, right? That means, well, um...
Ahaha! This isn't like me at all... I just wanted to tell you that I'd like to spend the day with you!
Well? What do you say? C'mon, spit it out! Don't you dare say no!

Happy holidays, (Captain)! So where should we go?
Hm? Tonight's a special night, isn't it? You know, for a date? C'mon, the two of us are heading out together!
Hey, what's the hold up? Oooh, are you trying not to blush? Hehehehe.
All righty then, move those legs! Don't be so uptight!

Here I am, the unrivaled cutie of holiday cheer, Feena! I get to play Santa this year and give presents to all the good boys and girls!
So without further ado, I'll use these flower petals to see how good you've been.
What will it be... Goodie-goodie, baddie-baddie, super-goodie... Goodie-goodie, baddie-baddie...
Super-goodie! Oooh, good job, (Captain)!
Now, for this very well-behaved captain, I have just the perfect gift picked out for you!
I hope you're as well-behaved next year as you were this year! Hehehehe!

(Captain)! Mm, this is too much fun!
Nothing like a party to get the holiday cheer going!
Hey, what are you pouting for?
Wait, lemme guess! It must be because you didn't get to go out with me this year for the holidays!
Heh-heh-heh... You're in luck! I was just about to ask if you wanted to go out right now!
Slipping out of a party to enjoy ourselves can be a real blast too, I'll have you know!

Look, (Captain)! I'm decorating the deck with sparkly ribbons! Isn't it pretty?
I tied the ribbons to toy arrows and shot them with my crossbow to attach them to spots outside my reach!
Pretty neat, huh? Nothing's impossible for the brilliantly cute Feena!
Huh? You want to know how I'm going to take down the decorations if I can't reach them?
Oh... I didn't think about that. But just leave it to the invincibly cute Feena—I'll come up with something!
Well, time to get back to decorating! I'll let you know when I'm finished, so sit tight, okay?

Happy holidays!
Tonight? I'll be decorating trees with the children of Stardust Town while we wait for Santa.
How does that sound? Care to come along and lend us a hand?

Hm? What presents do I want? If I can protect the peace of Stardust Town, that's good enough for me.
The more special possessions I accumulate, the more sluggish my movement becomes. Not something I want.
Still... If you have something to give, give it to the children in town.
Huh? You want to give something to my sister? Together?
In that case... how about a stuffed animal?
I can't guarantee anything, but I think that will make her quite happy.

There's a winter party tonight for the children of Stardust Town.
Although I use party in a loose sense since we won't be surrounded by mountains of food.
Oh? You have presents for all of them? How nice of you.
You have a present for me as well? Thanks, but I think that's best left for the kids.
Well, if you insist that I open it, I won't push it any further.
This is a really sparkly party hat...
Yeah, it'd be pretty hard to get the little ones excited with how I usually look. Thank you for this.
If you have time, you should come to the party too, (Captain). I think the children would like to see you.

This year I'll be having a party with the children of Stardust Town. Well, that's what we do every year.
Here you are. This is for you.
It's a sparkly tricornered hat—the one you gave me last year. The children decorated it with colorful construction paper.
I think they did quite the job, don't you? Do you like it?
You're pleased I saved the hat you gave me?
It's just our way not to waste anything that could be useful. It's not like I kept it out of sentimentality.
Did I say something funny?
Well, never mind.
The children are waiting for you, (Captain). I trust you'll accept our invitation?

Happy holidays. So you've decided to come to Stardust Town again.
Have you noticed, (Captain)? The children are practicing their songs for the party on the holy night.
The sound of singing, echoing all the way to the streets... Doesn't it give such a warm feeling?
It's peaceful moments like these that make me think how we need to get even stronger in order to protect this peace.
I've finished patrolling, so I'll be going back to where the children are now.
Come on, (Captain), let's hurry. Both the children and I have been looking forward to seeing you again!

This takes me back. I haven't celebrated winter festivities in decades...
Oh, I had so much fun then. My father was there, my mother was there... and that little girl too...
Oops, I didn't mean to dampen the mood. But I'm not sad at all.
Reminiscing with you about old times helps me enjoy the holiday.
I'm happy just like I was in my memories. Thank you, (Captain).

Listen, listen, (Captain)! I placed the star way up on top of the tree!
Back when I was celebrating with my family, they wouldn't let me help because I was too young.
I never knew how much fun decorating for the holidays could be!
Tonight's going to be super fun, (Captain)!

So we're having cake tonight...
Oh no, it's nothing. I was just remembering something from the past.
My younger sister and I loved strawberries on our cakes. We'd always fight over who gets what, which drove our parents crazy.
I was supposed to act as an older sister should, they said, and she'd end up winning the strawberries.
That really was such a long time ago. I was so serious about even small things like that back then.
What else will come back to me the next time I bite into a strawberry, I wonder?

(Captain)! Do you have any big wool stockings?
You don't? Hmm... Oh well, that's just how it goes I guess.
Did you forget what day it is? I wanted to hang stockings from the tree.
That's how you get Santa Claus to come visit or so I was told as a kid.
As you can see, I'm not a kid anymore—I'm a ghost. Does Santa even visit ghosts?
But it's still pretty exciting to think he might come, you know?
Oh, here's an idea. Why don't we go out and shop for stockings together?
We can buy some for everyone on the airship and really cover the tree with stockings.
Heehee, I just know it's going to turn out bright and colorful.

(Captain), look at this!
I was walking around town when an elderly lady gave me these lovely cookies! She said it was a present for the holidays.
Meeting her made me think that maybe in another life I could have grown older and become just like her...
But I'll always be stuck in this child-like body.
What I can still do is give out presents though. I think that'd be nice.
Say, what do you think about coming with me to buy some presents for the kids aboard the airship?
Then Santa Ferry and Santa (Captain) can walk around surprising them later.
Hehe, it sounds fun, right?

Happy holidays! Hey, can you gimme a hand with something?
Santa ain't getting away from me this time!

Santa Claus is really something... Not even Grampy can catch him!
But I'm not gonna give up! Not until I get a chance to ride that sled of his!
You want to ride it too, don't you, (Captain)? I bet flying through the sky on that thing feels awesome.
So will you help me catch Santa? Please? Pretty please?

Guess what I decided!
I'm gonna try not to capture Santa Claus!
Cuz if I catch Santa, then he won't be able to visit all the other girls and boys.
Sigh... I really want to ride in his flying sleigh though...
Yeah, I can fly already using magic. So what? It's totally different! The sleigh's cooler!

I've thought of a way to ride Santa's sleigh!
I just have to help Santa pass out presents!
I bet it's tough for him to pass out all those gifts on his own.
So I'll use my magic to deliver presents from the sleigh!
Like this!
There's no doubt that Santa will let me on this year!
I'd better start writing a letter to him now!

Hey, (Captain), do you think Santa likes chicken?
I was helping out with the preparations for the feast this year...
And it turned out really great, so I want Santa to have some too!
Santa's gotta be hungry from going around to so many places...
Hm? What's that? How it looks is important too?
I see! Leave it to you to think of that! You're right—it'll look much nicer wrapped like a present with a ribbon around it! I'll go look for one!
Once I find a ribbon, let's tie it around the chicken together, (Captain)!

Filene

What's... the matter?
Me? I was looking at the snow. What brings you here?
You... came to invite me to a party? Thank you...
But... I think I'll stay here. I'm not sure how to handle...
The warmth of others...
Besides... I'm just happy you came to see me...
You look... cold. Your face is all red.
You should head back inside. Everyone's waiting for you... I'll stay here a bit longer...
...?
Why did you suddenly grab my hand?
You want to take me back inside?
...
You should let go... My hands are cold.
You don't mind? Why?
It's so strange... Not only does your hand warm me up, but so do your words.
Thank you... And happy holidays, (Captain).

(Captain)? What is it? Are these stockings?
For Santa, right?
Lyria told me. If you hang up big stockings, Santa will fill them with gifts.
...
But I also heard Santa only gives presents to children on his nice list.
So... I probably won't get one.
Santa's never visited me. I think I'm on his naughty list...
What do you mean, that's not it?
It's because I had no stockings? Maybe... I've never hung them up before.
Okay... I'll try putting them out before bedtime. One for me and one for Inej.
...
(Captain)? Do you think I've been good this year?
Wait. Don't tell me.
If I've really been good...
I'll bring my present to your room.
If Santa visits... you'll be the first to know.

What're you doing, (Captain)?
Party preparations? And you made these decorations all by yourself?
Beautiful. Like looking at a fresh blanket of snow.
Do I think the crew will like them? I don't know... I'm not too acquainted with parties and the like.
But... I like them.
You're relieved? I'm not sure if I quite understand, but I'm glad.
...
I was going to give you this during the party, but...
Here. It's a scarf I made together with Inej.
You don't have to give me anything back in return. We made it especially for you.
And I've already received the best present—spending time with you.
Happy holidays, (Captain).

Fiorito

Happy holidays, (Captain)! I made a cake—do you wanna have some together?
What're you so surprised for? I eat cake when there's an occasion to celebrate too, you know.
See? Ta-da! A steamed masterpiece using only chicken breast and broccoli... I name it the "muscle cake"!
What? It's no different than what I usually have? Nuh-uh, see here—there's a cherry tomato on top, just like a real cake.
Muscles are a lifetime's work, you know! If I gave in that easily, Rosa would wither in no time!

...
Fiorito sits in the parlor, her nose in a book. Stacks of the tomes surround her like a colorful, crumbling fortress.
Choose: What's all this?
Oh, (Captain). They're, uh... holiday presents, I guess.
You remember that orphanage we went to? I thought I'd send them some picture books and kinda ended up collecting a library.
Thought I'd read through everything and pick out the best, but... Heh... Before I knew it, I was hooked.
I've always liked books, you know. Would get lost in them immediately.
Guess I got that from my dad.
Fiorito smiles, her eyes distant.
Hey, I've got an idea. It's gonna take me forever to go through these books alone. You mind helping?
(Captain) pulls out a chair besides Fiorito and begins flipping through the illustrated volumes.
Far from the hustle and bustle of the holidays, the two sit cozily together, listening only to the flapping of pages like wings.

Hoo! Hah!
It's the holidays. Fires are roaring, drinks are steaming... and Fiorito is out punching and kicking invisible enemies in the cold.
Choose: What is going on here?
Oh, hey, (Captain). Just trying out my new workout routine in the snow. I call it "Fight the White!"
Every time a flake flutters down, I punch it—bam—and it melts on impact!
See? You can't spot any snowdrifts around me, can ya?
Now, this is what I call winter fun. You're having a blast too, aren't you, Rosa?
Huh? What do you mean all this bod talk's ruining the holiday mood? Muscles are the greatest gift of all!

Yo (Captain)! Happy Bulkydays!
Oh, the outfit? They wanted me to dress up as Muscle Santa for the kids at the orphanage.
Just a little present from me to them, you know! I was putting the kids on my shoulders and spinning them around and stuff.
They had a blast and I got my cardio in, so it was two birds with one stone!
Oh, I've got an idea! How about you ride on my shoulders for a bit too, (Captain)?
Don't worry, I'm ripped enough to handle you! Hop on!

Flesselles

Season's greetings!
That reminds me... This is the time of year for exchanging presents, right?
I'm sorry, but I don't know much about giving gifts...
I know! I'll tell you all about the mountains instead!
Whether it's about the animals or the plant life, just ask me anything!

Huh? I look sleepy? Well, yeah... You got me.
Last year was so much fun... And I was so looking forward to the party this year that I couldn't sleep.
After all, I love celebrating with you, (Captain)!
But don't worry! I got you a great gift this year!
All right, (Captain)! I'll see you later at the party!

Say, (Captain)! I heard that tonight is supposed to be the most stunning night of the year. Is that true?
Huh? Not the most stunning but the stillest? Stillest... The stillest night... What's that mean exactly?
Ohhh, I see... Because the children go to sleep, so the world grows quiet and mystical? In an innocent way?
Hm... I think I know what you're saying.
When I was a kid, my mom and pop would tell me stories about the mountain goddess that sounded a lot like that.
I didn't really believe them at first, but when I finally met the goddess while standing on the mountain...
Heh-heh! I'll tell you all about it later on tonight!
Hey, that's a promise, (Captain)! So don't you go to bed yet!

(Captain), I have something I wanna ask you about.
You know the man who's supposed to come at night... Santa?
Is he really a he? Or a woman?
A man? Okay...
It's nothing... I was just worried because I heard that Santa delivers presents...
If Santa were a woman...
I'd be afraid to incur the jealousy of the goddess...
But if he's a man, then that's not a problem!
Phew... I'm so relieved. Now I'll sleep like a baby.

Hey, (Captain)! I've got something to show you! So I made a wreath, using acorns and pinecones...
Course, Camaro helped me gather all the stuff. I just thought we could try decorating our tree with a wreath—might look pretty neat.
What do you think? Ehehe. Glad you approve.
And after the holidays are over, we could give this wreath to some squirrels. As a present.
I mean, who says the spirit of giving has to end with the holidays?
Hey, I'd be really happy if you came along when I go visit the squirrels.

Good evening, (Captain). It's a beautiful night for celebrations, isn't it?
The sight of holiday trees has brought back memories. Once upon a time, I used to decorate them with Gawain and our parents.
Gawain would ride on our father's shoulders to place the star at the very top, while I would create magical ornaments out of snow alongside my mother.
I can still recall every moment clearly—fond memories I hold dear to my heart.
Oh? You'd like me to decorate the ship?
Why, I would love to assist.
After all, this holy night aboard your ship shall surely become another fond memory to treasure.

Thank you for inviting me, (Captain). It looks like everyone is having a wonderful time making preparations for the holy night.
I've brought a fruit cake for the winter celebration tonight. I hope everyone can try some.
This cake was a specialty of my mother's. It was our family tradition to gather around to eat this cake every year on the holy night.
That's why I thought to bring this here tonight, to where Gawain now belongs.
Oh, do you want to try making this fruit cake too?
I'd be happy to teach you how to make it. Let's head to the kitchen, shall we?

Welcome back, (Captain). I understand you were out for a job—were you able to complete it without any trouble?
Very good. I'm glad to hear it went smoothly. Now you can relax for the rest of the evening.
Hm? Me? Actually, I arrived quite early so I was helping everyone in the crew with decorating the room for tonight's celebration.
They were quite happy when I used my magic to move the paper dolls the children made.
You'd... like to see the moving paper dolls as well? Hm, the thing is...
The children said they wanted to dance with the dolls at the party tonight, so they took all of the dolls away to prepare.
I'm sure you will be able to see them later on in the evening. I myself am looking forward to it very much.

Happy Holidays, (Captain).
Here you are. I made a magic paper doll for you, (Captain).
Last year, I happened to notice you staring at them quite intensely.
I thought that maybe you wanted one for yourself, so I prepared one for you.
It's enchanted to dance to any song you sing to it.
I'd recommend finding an opportunity to sing to it together with Lyria and Vyrn at some point.
Hehe, I'm glad to see that you like it.
Just getting to see you smile like that seems like a present all by itself.

...
I've been having this strange sensation in my chest today. I just can't figure it out.
I thought that it would get better with you by my side, but just the opposite happened. It got worse.
I hate to do this since you're still so green...
But we must cross blades! Ready your weapons, (Captain)!

The night of presents... They say if you've behaved yourself throughout the year, you'll receive a present.
Humph... How naive... How ridiculous... Utterly ridiculous...
(Captain)... Take this.
Do not misinterpret my intent. I didn't give this to you because you were a good child this year.
I'm making an investment. I am sharing a gift that will lead to your growth. Nothing more...
What are you smirking at... Ugh! Now you've done it! Ready your weapon!

(Captain), I have a gift for you.
Humph... But this year I don't intend to hand it over without a fight.
You must first defeat me in battle! What do you say!
W-what! You don't need the gift if it means having to trade blows?
B-but wait! I've been preparing for this day for quite a while—and I mean to give you the gift either way—but, no...
I understand. My heart would hardly be in any battle against you on this holiday night.
Yes, all right... I'll just give you the present.
Now then, enough of your smirking! We'll spar just as soon as the holiday is through!

I see you've returned, (Captain). Where did you go?
Oh, you went out to buy supplies for the feast tonight? Isn't the town a bit far from here? You should have asked to ride one of my dragons there.
Hmm. Well, I suppose that served as decent training for your leg muscles, but...
Come here. I'll show you to the cave where my dragons rest.
It's cold tonight, and you could use some of their body warmth.
You don't want to miss the celebration tonight because you catch a cold. Keeping your body healthy is part of training too!

I found you, (Captain). I am here to invite you to this year's holiday training fest.
What kind of training will take place? Well, we'll be distributing presents to good boys and girls.
The gifts must be delivered with speed and accuracy by the time the sun comes up.
Yes, being quick and showing good judgment is of utmost importance.
And for those reasons I have listed, you are the only one I can ask to participate in this training, (Captain).
If the presents aren't delivered on time, there will be disappointed children in the morning, and we cannot have that.
You don't mind helping, but you wish to know why we are doing it this way?
Why, it's all for the children—wait, it's a secret! Since you have already pledged your assistance, I expect you to put your all into this endeavor!

Fraux

(Captain), happy holidays!
What are you planning to do for the holy night?
Me? Well, I'm going into town while it's still festive.
Huh? You'll go with me?
Heh heh, the truth is that I'd feel lonely if I were by myself.
So that would make me incredibly happy.
Ah! This is just like a date!
A date with (Captain) on the holy night... Let's have all the fun we can!

Hi, (Captain)! Thanks for coming to see me even though its freezing outside. It's been less than five minutes since I gave you the message!
I never would've thought you'd answer my invite, to be honest.
Last year's winter date felt more like a spur of the moment type of thing.
If you're going to invite someone out, you need to do it with intention.
That doesn't mean I didn't have fun with you last time, (Captain), because I definitely did.
Teehee, we're going to have so much more fun tonight compared to last year though.
Let's go, let's go! I've got a lot of things to show you this time around!

Sorry, (Captain), did I keep you waiting long?
You say you just got here... But your ears are bright red from the cold.
Maybe we should've planned to meet earlier.
Your hands are freezing too. Let's go get you something hot to eat.
I picked out the perfect restaurant for today! I think you'll like it.
Their lunch was amazing, so I'm pretty sure we can expect a lot from their holiday dinner.
You want to try the lunch too? All right. If you end up liking dinner, we'll come back sometime for lunch.

Oh, (Captain)! Over here!
Jeez, you sure took your sweet time getting here!
Heh heh, I'm kidding. I only just got here myself.
We've still got some time to kill before our reservation. Should we head over now or...
Wait, you're dressed pretty light for the chilly weather. Aren't you cold?
You were worried about being late so you rushed out in a panic?
Better to be late than catch a cold, you know. Besides, I wouldn't have minded waiting a bit.
Here, I brought a scarf with me just in case. It's pretty long.
Want to share it? You take that end and wrap it around your neck.
I'll take this one. We're going to be squished together, but I don't mind. You don't either, right?

(Captain) and Fraux are out shopping for the holidays.
Okay, now we have the strawberry cake. That should be everything.
But since we're already out here, why don't we look around a bit more before heading back?
The illuminations on the holiday trees and ornaments help to give off a festive mood.
It's so pretty and shiny everywhere we look!
I couldn't have imagined spending the holidays like this a few years back.
I'm blessed to be able to enjoy this beautiful scenery with you, (Captain).
I have so much to be grateful for. Thanks a million, (Captain).
Well, should we be heading back now? The holiday dinner should be ready soon!

Freezie

Tomoi: It's the holidays, huh? Oh, Freezie...
Freesia: There are couples everywhere. How can they shamelessly walk around holding hands like that?
Tomoi: Well, whaddya say we give it a try?
Freesia: Th-that would be too embarrassing. I'd rather die.
Tomoi: Your ear's droopin', Freezie. You're not being honest, are you?
Freesia: ...!
Th-that's not what it is! I'm just shivering from the cold!
Tomoi: Then I'll give you a hug to warm you up!
Freesia: Eek!
Tomoi: There. All warm and toasty, right?
Freesia: F-fool! This is even more embarrassing! Everyone's looking at us...
Tomoi: Forget about them. Just look at me.
Freesia: Tomoi...

Tomoi: Another holly, jolly holiday, huh... If only Freezie were here. Man, wonder how that'd go...
Freesia: What a beautiful tree.
Tomoi: Hits me right in the feels. Those lights are, like, literally lit!
Freesia: ...
Freesia quietly closes her eyes and clasps her hands in front of her chest.
Tomoi: Huh? You offerin' Big Greenie a prayer or somethin'?
Freesia: Yes. I pray that I can always be with you.
Tomoi: Haha! Why even bother prayin' for that?
I'm never gonna leave your side anyway! The only thing that can stop me is death itself!
Freesia: Fool. Even in death, we'll still be together, right?
Tomoi: Freezie...

Tomoi: The holy night, huh... Man, love is tough, I tell ya.
It's the holy night, Freezie! Wanna hold hands like the lovey-dovey couple that we are?
Freesia: Hmph.
Tomoi: Whaaa! Come on, babe, don't leave me out here in the cold!
Freesia: The holy night's a special night... where the snow falls like a blessing on sweet lovers.
If things get too hot between us, the snow might start melting. Other people wouldn't be able to enjoy their special night, would they?
Tomoi: Freezie... Are you the sweetest goddess out there or what?
Here's an idea. How 'bout we jump on a jet ship and make a getaway to another island? It'll just be the two of us, and we won't be causin' trouble for anyone.
I mean, I don't care 'bout the snow or lights. All I need is you, Freezie baby.
Freesia: Oh, Tomoi... You know I'll follow you wherever you go.
And so Tomoi and Freesia set out into the unknown skies, with only each other.
Though none have yet to catch sight of the couple, rumors say they lived a modest but happy life together, forever and ever.

Tomoi: People are s'posed to be merry today... Love is hard, man...
Freesia: Sorry for asking you to meet me out here all of a sudden, Tomoi.
Tomoi: Aw, it's all good, honeybunch. I'd fly to the moon if you told me to. So what's up?
Freesia: I've been thinking... Maybe we really should break up.
Tomoi: Wh-what are you talkin' about, Freezie! C'mon, Halloween's over, ya'know?
Wait, is this an out-of-season April Fools' joke?
Freesia: No, I'm being serious. This isn't a joke.
Tomoi: ...
Freesia: Please don't ask me why. Just... take care of yourself, Tomoi.
Tomoi: Freezie, don't go... Freezieee!
Amid the silent downpour of snow, Tomoi watches in shock as his beloved walks out of his life.
Standing alone in the field, the man is adrift in a sea of white. How will the new year greet him?

Tomoi: It's a cold one tonight. The only cure for the chills is the roaring fire of love.
Freezie and Tomoi are out for a walk. The shock of her breaking up with him caused him to lose his memory.
Hey, Freesia? May I hold your hand?
Freesia: Huh? Why, of course.
Tomoi: Thanks. It's so warm.
It's strange. When I'm holding your hand like this, it almost feels like I'm on the verge of remembering something.
This warmth is so familiar.
Freesia: Tomoi...
The reason why my hand feels warm is because you taught me how to love.
You're not alone, Tomoi. It's my time to support you the way you've supported me.
Tomoi: Freesia... Thank you.
Thanks to the power of their eternal love, Tomoi's memories are slowly returning. Perhaps the new year will bring more developments.

Freyr

Ah, it's you. A rare occasion for us to meet in a place like this.
The wind is calm tonight. The smell of smoke and the sound of clashing metal have been drowned out by the snow.
This night is called the holy night, is it not? Since long ago, the holy night has always been blessed with a peaceful breeze that brings warmth to the skies.
It is like a spring breeze, blowing from the future I dream of.
Ah. Snowfall has begun once more.
You should go. There are those who await your return, are there not?
You, too, are one who suffers much strife. But I pray that you may forget battle and find rest, if only for tonight.
I wish you a joyous holy night.

Oh? What a strange coincidence for us to meet here again on the holy night.
So what brings you alone to such a remote place? Is this not a special evening?
You wish to know why I am here? I cannot say that I approve of answering a question with a question.
There is no particular reason. If I had to say... it is because this place is full of silence.
This night brings with it a great clamor. Much of it is positive, filled with joy and happiness. And yet...
Even if it is but a moment of peace, that jubilant radiance is far too dazzling for me.
Now then, I have given you my reason. Why have you come here?
For a similar reason?
I see... So there are days when you need to escape from the hustle and bustle as well.
Then it must be some kind of fate that we have met here. Let us surrender ourselves to the silence until we are both satisfied.

Friday (Summer)

Friday: Oh hello, (Captain)! Hey, would you take a look at this?
I'm writing Santa Claus a letter to let him know all about the wonders of Premium Friday!
He brings such joy to the skies. We should really give some back, don't you think?
And if Santa starts celebrating Premium Friday, I'm sure every kid on his list, and their parents, will get onboard!
Ahh, this'll spread the message for sure! I'm so excited!
All right, I'm off to deliver this letter!
FRIED SHRIMP, away!
FRIED SHRIMP: Fry-fryyy!

This may be a bit sudden, (Captain), but do you think I could borrow the ship deck tonight?
Actually, I wanted to pass a letter to Santa last year to inform him of the benefits of Premium Friday...
But I just couldn't find him no matter where I flew with my FRIED SHRIMP. My plan ended up being a failure...
That's why, this year, I'm thinking of where he might appear ahead of time and making plans to ambush him there!
Yes. Like this very ship! Since there are so many children in your crew, Santa has to come!
You're asking if I'll be cold waiting out here? Oh dear, are you worried about me?
I'll be fine. I have my piping hot FRIED SHRIMP with me, straight out of the fryer. I don't feel cold at all!
Well then, I'll be starting my preparations, so don't mind me. Have a wonderful holy night, (Captain)!

Hey, (Captain), you showed up at a fantastic time!
This town is having a special offer right now! Every guest who stays at a participating inn gets a coupon for a free meal!
See, tourism's slowed to a trickle recently thanks to monsters throwing a tantrum.
Now, you know I frown on overtime, but a society that's willing to work but can't is just plain wrong! So I'm here to fix that!
Come on, (Captain)! It's the holidays! Invite a special someone over, and have a grand old time!
Mm-hm! All the promotion details are laid out in this handy little pamphlet! I promise you're going to wanna give it a gander!

Ah, I see you've zeroed in on the razzling, bedazzling lights that ornament FRIED SHRIMP.
A village chief asked me to add those bells and whistles as part of their village's revitalization project!
The shrimpers love their work, but the village has little else to attract tourists. That kept the chief up at night.
So to spice up the place, I'm doing flybys from time to time to rain down cheerful messages.
Who can resist the enchanting costume and charming tail? No one, that's who!
Well, well! The sight of a crispy, flashing FRIED SHRIMP is bound to make anyone hungry.
Might I recommend this special edition winter holiday shrimp box to appease your growling tummy? Every morsel was caught by the shrimpers here, of course!
It also includes shrimp doria and shrimp cocktail.
Why not buy a bunch for the entire crew!

(Captain) takes a stroll around town, delighting in the holiday spirit.
Ah, (Captain)! Talk about good timing!
Friday appears to be playing the role of a struggling shopkeeper.
The patissier here was so overworked that she fell ill.
I'm helping out while she recovers, but sales aren't going too well...
Choose: What's with that cake?
I'm glad you asked! I call it the fried prawn tower cake!
This miraculous fusion of fresh cream and fried prawn is my finest creation as an amateur baker!
I was told I could sell anything I see fit to, and so this is the one item I'm using to draw in more customers.
Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be doing too well... I wonder why?
The fried prawns towering over the layer of cream imbue the cake with an imposing aura.
(Captain) wonders if it is truly possible to get this profoundly curious product to fly off the shelves.

Gabriel

(Captain) and Gabriel wander the shopping arcade in search of things they might need for the holiday party, when they happen upon a tree in trouble.
My, take a look at that, (Captain). You see the very top of that enormous tree?
The star topper looks like it's seconds from falling. That's not cute at all. Not to mention it could be a potential hazard.
Hmm... The townsfolk seem to be lost in the holiday spirit. I'm sure they won't notice me spreading my wings for just a moment.
Phew... There, I fixed it! Now we can breathe easy!
The next day, the shopping arcade is packed with visitors hoping to admire the tree rumored to have been "touched by a goddess."

Bwahahah!
Sorry I'm missin' the white hair.
But a red-haired Santa's just as good, right?

Bahahaha! Season's greetings, (Captain)!
Ye've been a good we'an this bygone year, so Galadar Santa here's gotten ye a gift!
Och, sae ye don't like bein' spoken to like a child?
Gahahaha! If ye ask me, ye're still just a fledgling!
But enough blatherin'! Here, have a taste of mah special steel candy canes!

Dahahaha! Pardon my steely stench, but Galadar Santa's here again!
Anyhoo, have ye been a good kid this year, (Captain)?
Oho, so ye have, eh? This calls fer a present from Galadar Santa!
What's that? Ye bet it's just a lump of cold steel?
Dahahaha! Right on! Nothin' but steel here!
But ye've got another thing comin' if ye think that's all I've got!
This is forged from the finest steel ye can find in my hearth.
With layers upon layers of steel coating serried upon it.
Dahahaha... A steel cake made by one of the steeliest men on this side of the skies!
No need to say another word! Go on and feast on my specially steely mille-feuille!

Dahahaha! Galadar Santa returns at last, tae answer the prayers of all the wee lads an' lasses!
I trust ye've been a good we'an this year as well, Cap'n?
Ohh! That's what I like to hear! Well then, ye've earned yer present!
What's that? You wannae know what manner of iron I have for ye this year?
Why... I do believe ye've come to look forward to my gifts!
Dahaha! Ye gladden me heart! An' I'll nae disappoint ye!
I tempered this especially for ye, (Captain)!
A dessert that one an' all can enjoy on this holiest of nights...
Galadar's Special Steely Puddin'!

Huh. Guess that's how it is.
Oh, (Captain)! Havin' a merry festival, I hope!
I plan on bein' Galadar Santa again this year, so I've made a grand present for all the we'uns on the ship!
It's a mammoth tree, forged tip to stump from the finest iron! Makes for a pretty solid holiday, eh?
What do ye think? The sparkle is perfect for the season, eh?
Normally people decorate the tree to add a little pizzazz, but when the tree itself is the star, well there's no beatin' that.
Everybody aboard the ship is gonna feel the holiday spirit when they get a load of this thing! Dahaha!

Gift-giving.
(A being known as Santa Claus is said to offer gifts to children on this day.)
Concern.
(A wonderful tradition it may be, but why does he offer gifts only to mortal children?)
Respect.
(Every life-form struggles to survive in this distorted world.)
Admiration.
(Thus they are all equally deserving.)
Poignance.
(Yet Santa Claus grants compensation only to the most frail.)
Deficiency.
(Perhaps it is a sign of how far away things have veered off from the original state that was meant to be.)
Self-discipline.
(I apologize on behalf of all wedges for lacking the power to fully preserve the world's shape.)
Blessing.
(But at the very least, Singularity, I can offer my blessings to you and those around you.)

Fondness.
(The spirit in which holiday gifts are given warms my heart.)
Bestowal.
(I would very much like to gift all of mankind a present of my own.)
Contrition.
(But I am afraid my nescience precludes me from preparing a proper offering.)
Conundrum.
(I still have much to learn about the mortal existence.)
Shame.
(An unsuitable gift may very well cause dismay rather than delight.)
Dearth.
(Though it is not just my ignorance... I simply do not have the power to perform this deed.)
Agony.
(In my current state, I cannot hope to protect the sky and all who live in it from those who would see it harm.)
Aspiration.
(Annihilating the Otherworlders would have made a most excellent gift.)
Remorse.
(Recognizing my own deficiencies has left me feeling quite ashamed...)
Blessing.
(For this holiday season, the best I can do is bestow blessings unto you and all who are near...)

Happy holidays.
I hear this Santa character delivers presents today.
If I can track him down, I wonder if I could make off with all his loot...

Is it that time of the year again?
It's easy to get carried away when you're feeling festive. You'd best be careful.
At the same time, we should be thankful for the opportunity to just kick back and relax.

Happy holidays, eh?
Wrong. I'm not celebrating anything here.
I was just taken aback by what a frivolous greeting that is.
Not that I'd go up in arms about it. You enjoy the holidays as you like, (Captain).

'Tis the season.
Everyone's at home cutting cake and celebrating the holiday with neighbors, not a concern in the world.
Back when I was a bandit, I never thought that I'd be spending the winter like this.
You say I seem giddy? Heh-heh, come on...
I was simply stating a fact. I suppose it might a bit touching though...

Humph... Looks like there's gonna be a holiday tree out in town this year too.
I just don't get how people can set up something so posh in front of everyone.
It's almost like asking all the thieves out there to come and rob you. Am I wrong?
Yet something about it is so heartwarming. Simply glancing at it brings a sense of joy somehow.
Er, don't mind me... I'm just mumbling to myself.

Humph... Everyone is getting so excited... I don't get this Christmas thing.
What? I was invited to the celebration? Humph! I guess I don't have much of a choice but to go along. But only for today!

You, (Captain). Is there anything you want?
Hey, don't get the wrong idea now! I'm just doing my part for the holiday season!
Hurry up already! We're going shopping in town!

You want a present? Have you forgotten already that I got you something last year?
It's your turn to fork over something this year. Need I remind you that we are of equal standing?
All right, it's time. You're coming with me. Huh? You think I'm pining for some alone time with you?
Oh, shut your pie hole! I'm just here to waste your time! And you're gonna eat it all up!

Humph... Why the hell is it snowing?
Is this what you wanted? A world of white?
It doesn't exactly set the mood, but it's not bad.

Hey, (Captain). I'm not made of time, you know. What did you call me out here fo—
Gyah!
Why you! You have some nerve!
Here I graciously answered your summons, thinking it was an invitation to a holiday feast, and you cravenly ambush me with snowballs.
So you wish for a duel fought with snow.
Of course, you realize this means war.
Prepare yourself, (Captain)! I will never surrender, and you shall receive no quarter!

Gawain (Light)

You told Florence to come to this year's winter party?
I see... Let's quickly finish putting up the decorations then. Leave the higher spots to me.
What? No, I am not getting into the spirit just because Florence is coming!
It's simple. If Florence thinks I'm not acclimating to the crew, she's going to get on my case.
You know how incessant her meddling can be. So to allay her fears, I'm going to help to the best of my ability.
Look, if you understand what I'm saying, then give me a hand already, (Captain)!

I've put the dishes on the dining table. Speak up now if there's anything else you need help with.
Huh? Is that dry fruit cake you're making?
It brings back memories... My mother used to make that for the holidays when she was still alive.
The scent of all those fruits at once really gets me primed for a holiday feast.
How I miss those family gatherings we used to have...
Ah, what am I being so sentimental for! I'm happy with my life in the crew right now!
So stop it with that sullen face! Let's not spoil the night's festive mood.
As I said... I'm happy with life in the crew right now. That's why I'm content helping you like this.
So give me your next orders already, before I start feeling sullen myself.

You're going on a mission now? Shouldn't you be resting during the holiday season?
You can't resist helping those in need? Some things never change, do they?
Remember, if you miss tonight's party, you'll have a ship full of disappointed crew members.
Even knowing that, you'll still go... Hmph. Fair enough.
Then I'll accompany you. We'll finish the mission faster that way.
Pft, well if you didn't want to inconvenience me, you shouldn't have taken a mission during our time off!
It's going to get cold later, so let's bundle up and then head out.

Alright, I finished decorating my tree, (Captain).
What are you doing? You're obviously not tall enough to decorate up there.
Just let me do it. What? You want to do it yourself?
Alright, fine. It would be faster for me to do it, but get on my shoulders.
Okay, holding on tight? I'm standing up.
Maybe a bit to the left? There, that looks good. I'm bringing you down.
Next time you need help, just ask, for goodness sake.
I'm not saying that for your sake! If you get hurt, the whole crew will be sick with worry!

Happy holidays!
What, (Captain)? Do I look like I'm having a good time?
Hehe. Yes, I'm enjoying myself.
After all, on this airship, there is always fun to be found!
Allow me to add my sword dance to the entertainment list!

Happy holidays!
(Captain)... I have something to ask...
There's a special holiday performance tonight with one of my favorite dance troupes. Won't you come with me?
Don't worry, we should be able to make it back to the ship in time for the party.
Hehe. Thank you! I'm so happy! Why, I could dance with joy!
Oh, don't be like that; I won't actually dance with joy.
Probably.

You want me to give the tree a pruning with my sword dance?
I can't really say it'll turn out well though...
But since it's to pretty-up our crown jewel of the holiday season and a direct order from the captain, I'll give it my best shot!
Um, if I pull this off and make the tree look great, there's one favor I want from you.
Could we have a mini-ball around the tree during tonight's party?
If we do, I want you to be my dance partner.
Is that a yes? Yay, thank you!
Now stand back and witness the awe of my sword dance!

(Captain)! O-oh! Look at me, all flustered!
Say, do you remember that performance we went to a few seasons back? By my favorite dance troupe? Yes, that lovely show!
Well, the troupe sent me an invitation! They want me to come not as a guest, but as a dancer!
Oh, it's like a dream come true... To think that my sword dance would be among the jewels adorning this dazzling night!
My! (Captain), you're coming to the show?
I'm so very thrilled! I'll put on such a fiery performance, you won't be able to tear your eyes away.

Season's greetings!
Thanks for coming to my performance again this year.
I'm so lucky to get requests as a dancer for two years in a row! It's like a holiday miracle!
But it wouldn't be much of a holiday if it were all work and no play! Let's head out, (Captain)!
There's so much to do, from the crew party at the restaurant to a stroll through the pretty lit-up streets!
You're not sure if we can get to all of it?
Sure we will. I made the perfect schedule here. As long as we follow this, we'll be fine!
The next item on the schedule is coming up, (Captain)! Let's hurry!

Geisenborger

Heh heh, so a battlefield awaits, you say?
What's that shibboleth everyone has on the tip of their tongue... "Happy holidays," was it?
In deciding on a secret code, we must be careful in controlling the flow of information even amongst ourselves.
Anyhow, the others seem to be preoccupied making arrangements for something. Will we be taking off shortly?
What is it? Why do you laugh? Your heart must be beating with excitement for the battle to come!
Choose: I said snowfield! Not battlefield!
By the heavens... What shame I've brought upon myself...
Graaaaaah!
(Captain) rushes to catch up with the scurrying Geisenborger, promising a treat if he'll come back.

Hah hah hah. 'Tis the holy night, when the populace carouses in delusive bliss.
It pays to keep in mind that a light too bright can give way to darkness.
I heard this from others, but there is one who lurks in the shadows...
His name is Santo. He spreads suffering to all.
He slips into people's houses without anyone noticing. His stealth skills are second to none.
The irony is that he wears bloodred clothing that stands out like a sore thumb, as if he wishes to be sought out.
Haha, fascinating, don't you think?
Hm, are you holding in your laughter, (Captain)? Surely you're interested in Santo's true nature. If you ask me, chances are he's a former merc—
Choose: The guy's name is "Santa," not Santo.
What?
He's a jolly old red saint who hands out presents to children, and everyone knows about him?
Ngwaaah!
As Geisenborger races off, (Captain) calls him back to give him a present.

Heheheh, tonight is the holy night... That Santa fellow's coming to give presents to all the kids, right?
But you, (Captain)... I can tell you want something more exciting than a peaceful, boring evening.
Heh, you can stop pretending you don't know. This large tree piled with objects is a clear challenge from you.
That star at the very top... It clearly hints at The Star, the primal beast.
Which means this large tree symbolizes... me.
In other words, you insultingly imply that I am beneath The Star.
And these sparkling decorations. You know I dislike gaudy displays, but you plastered the tree in them... You're trying to provoke me.
Heh, you could've just challenged me directly and skipped the theatrics.
Come at me then! We'll exchange fists and dye this holy night red with every blow!
Choose: This, my friend, is a holiday tree.
A what?
It's a special tree decorated for the holy night? A tradition that everyone knows...
Gaaaaaaahhhh!
(Captain) tries asking Geisenborger to decorate the tree too, but the man is already running away at full speed.

Heh heh, tonight is the holy night. Reminds me of post-victory celebrations, what with all the children running around.
But what are those large red socks that they are holding?
It's true that children always need new clothes, as they're growing...
However, those socks are far too large, and they each only have a single one, not a pair...
Ah!
(Wait, I know where this is going... I've experienced this one too many times!)
(Those socks must be used for some special holy night ritual!)
Choose: What's wrong?
((Captain) is looking at me with a knowing grin!)
(I need to find a way to change the subject...)
...
(I can't think of anything!)
GAAAH!
As Geisenborger runs away, (Captain) tries to tell him that they're having chicken for dinner tonight.
I am no chicken!

Heh heh, tonight is the holy night...
...
(Every single year... Whenever I say something, somehow it ends with me running off.)
(In that case, I will counter with silence! Keeping silent must be the best plan!)
Choose: ...
...
(What is this strange feeling of wanting to express myself? Somehow this doesn't sit right with me...)
When (Captain) continues to gaze at him quietly, Geisenborger comes to a realization.
Aha! The holy night... must be the designated day for me to shout and run off! It's meant to be!
I see now! It can't start with me doing that!
Gwaaagh!
Watching Geisenborger run off once again, (Captain) smiles, amused. The captain calls after him, inviting him to spend the winter celebration together with everyone.

Why is everyone so excited? Huh? Winter holly... day?
Hrm... Holly-day...
Oh, holiday! Hey, I said it! Now I know why everyone's getting excited!

Hmmm... I wanna ask you something, (Captain). I found a funny box by my bed, see!
Hm... San... ta. Cla... us? Santa... Claus?
It's from Santa Claus! Heheheh! I can read it! Thanks, Santa!

(Captain)! Guess what I saw! There was a reindeer right over there!
Hm? Reindeer don't live in towns? But I saw it! I really saw it!
It had horns and a bright red nose... And it told me it flies through the air all the time!
Let's see... Its name was Lam... Or Lamret... Lam-something...
I'm not lying! Come see it with me! It's probably still asleep on the ground in front of the tavern!

(Captain), I want you to help me! Tell me how to meet Santa!
I wanna see him and say thanks for the presents!
You mean he's too busy to meet people?
Yeah, I guess he's delivering presents for the whole world...
But I wanna see him... I wanna tell him how grateful I am in person...
You think I should write a letter?
(Captain), that's a great idea! I'll go write one right away!

(Captain)! Lookie!
Last year I wrote Santa a letter! And this year he replied!
It says since I was such a good girl this year, he'll give me new sparkly stuff!
Today I'm going to wait for Santa and thank him when he gets here!
Hm? If I don't fall asleep he won't come? I won't get my present?
Oh no... I want to say thanks to him, but I want a shiny present...
I know! I'll go to bed and pretend to sleep!
Yay! I know this'll work!

How long has it been since I was able to enjoy a winter holiday like this? On second thought, this is probably a first for me.
Although Istavion holds grandiose festivities in its own right, a shadow of austerity seems to hang over the entire event.
I don't get that feeling with your crew. Everyone participates in a rambunctious fashion.
And that's normal? Hm... I find that absolutely refreshing.
Heh. Then just for today, I'll step out of my comfort zone too.
You'll be accompanying me, won't you, (Captain)? I won't take no for an answer.
Haha... Tonight, sleep is for the weak.

As the holy night approaches, the towns grow livelier and livelier.
I never imagined I would be out shopping with just the two us, but I'm learning much about regular society.
However, I find these decorations to be lacking. The ornaments we have at the palace are far and away more exquisitely crafted.
Despite that, there is one thing this town exudes that I never experienced in my entire time living in the palace: a sense of joy and anticipation for the holidays.
I don't know why my heart won't stop pounding. Why do I feel so restless? So impatient?
Let us return to the airship. I feel the onset of a smile, and I do not wish to walk the streets grinning like an idiot.
No, wait. There is no need to take the direct path back. We may as well take the scenic route.
This feeling of holiday cheer is a breath of fresh air. I don't mind relishing the mood if it's with you.

???: Ahem.
Hey. Wake up.
Alliah: Good. You're finally up. I have a present for you.
Oh, don't look so bewildered. Is it not customary to sneak into someone's room on the eve of the big holiday in order to give that person their gift?
I have fond memories of grand galas and fancy balls during this season, but I think I can get used to a more intimate approach to celebration.
Hm? I'm... not supposed to wake the recipient up?
Rather, I should have stealthily placed the gift by the bedside and stolen away? What a peculiar tradition...
I see. It appears the royal tutelage I received has a few flaws...
Then let us execute a redo. Return to sleep, and I shall place the gift and leave.
Come now. Close your eyes and count sheep.

(Right, (Captain) is probably asleep by now.)
(This is enough waiting. This year I'll place the present and leave without being noticed, just like the tradition goes.)
(I hope I chose a good gift...)
Wha— Why are you awake?
You were looking forward to me coming? But that isn't how the tradition is supposed to work!
You did it because I was so funny last time? I see... Well, I'm not opposed to you finding me amusing, but...
But you're the leader of this crew. You shouldn't be deliberately causing yourself to lose out on sleep.
Now get back to bed. This present won't be leaving my hands until I hear snoring.
I'll be watching you until I'm sure you're asleep.

Hey, (Captain)... There's something I want to ask you.
I've only ever gotten to celebrate the winter holiday with Anne.
So I was wondering if this time I could exchange presents with everyone.
Would that be okay?
Hee-hee, thanks. I'd better start shopping for gifts everyone would like.
Will you go with me, (Captain)?

Hey, (Captain). Do you have a sec?
All the kids at Mysteria were talking about throwing a holiday party...
Yeah, so... you should come too if you can, (Captain).
Huh? No, nobody will mind at all!
Anne, Owen, and the class president all want to see you, (Captain).
And I'd be really happy if you came too.
So what do you say?
Really? That's great to hear.
Thanks. Everyone else and I will be looking forward it.

Oh, (Captain). Good timing.
Can I ask you to accompany me for a bit?
I'm thinking of getting presents for Anne and Owen.
But I'm not sure what they'd like best...
I was hoping you could help me pick them out.
You'll come along? Great, let's have a good look around.
Teehee, it'll be so much fun shopping with you, (Captain)...

What's something I can cook that would make everyone happy...
Oh, (Captain). Perfect timing.
About the holy night... I'm going to be making the dishes for the party this year.
I've been thinking about what to make, but I can't seem to come up with any good ideas...
Anne already said she'll bake the cake, so... Do you have any suggestions, (Captain)?

  • Choose: Roast beef
    Roast beef, huh? Yeah, that could be a nice and sophisticated dish.
  • Choose: Roast chicken
    That's true. Roast chicken is perfect for gatherings...
    But it's actually pretty challenging to make.

Thanks for the idea, (Captain). That really helped.
I'll do my best to prepare something delicious for everyone.
I hope you'll have some at the party too.

Oh, good evening, (Captain). What are you doing at this hour?
Me? I suddenly felt like playing the piano, so I'm on my way to the music room.
Actually, if you're not busy, would you like to come hear me play?
It kind of gets lonely playing by myself.
Besides, I like performing for people who enjoy my music.
You will? Thank you. Then let's go to the music room.
So what song would you like to hear, (Captain)?
Tis the season for giving after all.
But instead of a book or toy, I'll play for you whatever your ears desire.

Hey, Singularity, hey! It's not every year that there's snow on the holy night, huh?
That means this day's extra special!
Singularity, I've made up my mind! More than anything else, I'm going to enjoy this special holiday!
How do I plan on having fun?
Heh... Do you even need to ask?
There could be no better match for such than some quiet moments alone with the poetry of Nietzel...
Huh! W-wait! You're telling me that there's a holiday party tonight?
Are you serious! You've gotta tell me this stuff earlier! I wouldn't be anywhere else!
Hurray! I can't wait!

Garbed in a hat and suit of vermillion bright, with hair and beard of snowy white. Flying reindeer draw him in lacquered sled, unseen he brings gifts to children in bed.
(Captain), would you happen to know this distinguished figure?
That's right! Santa Claus!
Ahh! He's so cool! Delivering presents in secret and by stealth!
Sigh... I'd like to play Santa just once in my life!
Huh? What do you mean I'm too noisy and noticeable to be Santa?
I-I can do sneaky! I'll be the sneakiest gift deliverer ever!
I know! I'll try bringing presents to the crew tonight! I hope you're excited!

Heh. A winter feast at which people give shouts of joy like children is ill-fitting for a god of war.
My tempest shall take you to a place much farther, Singularity... to a banquet among the stars in this obsidian sky. Now, let us raise our gaze to the heavens!
Huh? If we spend all our time looking at the sky, there won't be any cake left for us?
U-ugh... We can't let that happen! Let's get back to the party right away!
Just to be clear, it's not like I wanna have cake or anything! I was just thinking how it'd be sad if you didn't get to eat any... Yeah!
Oh, but I really did wanna spend time stargazing with you!
After we get ourselves some cake, let's come back out to look at the stars!

Whoa... H-hey, check it out, (Captain)!
Have you ever seen such splendorous illuminations like this? They're absolutely spellbinding!
O holiest of lights, on the holiest of nights, cleanse the darkness of night and its billions—er, trillions of evils...
Ah, darn it! I was this close to nailing it that time!
Heh... Well, as long as you thought it was funny, I suppose that's fine too!
Wait, look! It's snowing for real! Wow... It's so white and sparkly!
Heh, now this is a scene that takes me back.
I made the right choice joining your crew, (Captain).
I mean, every day is more fun than the last, and that's all thanks to you!

Wow! This is my type of wintry world! Look at all that snow piled up!
There's only one thing for us to do here, (Captain)!
That is to invite the jolly old man in red who sports the finest of majestic white beards to make a snowman with us!
We can dress up the snowman in a dandy scarf and hat! It's going to be sooo cute!
But first... We should all make sure we're dressed up nice and warm!
The holiday bash is gonna be no fun at all if you catch a cold!

Gwynne: Did you clear enough room in your stomach, (Captain)?
Gwynne: Draphs are known to go all out, and my parents are no exception when it comes to serving as hosts. You've been warned.
Gwynne's Father: Here's what we're planning. Start off with a roasted chicken appetizer, potato wedges, salad—the works.
Gwynne's Mother: After having cake for dessert, we'll kick off round two of dinner with a whole roasted pig!
Gwynne: There you have it. Don't worry about eating until you explode. We've got boxes for leftovers.

Ah... Hello, (Captain). Happy holidays.
Thanks so much for inviting me to the crew party.
Huh? Oh, I'm having lots of fun... Hm? I look really excited?
Ahaha... Well, I may be a little into the festive spirit. This holiday has a whole new feeling away from my family.
How do I put it? It's like a sleepover, the way we're so comfortable all together.
I was a little nervous when I left home, but the experience was enjoyable overall.
I really do appreciate the invitation.

Season's greetings, (Captain).
Do you believe in Santa Claus?
Ah, sorry, I didn't mean to treat you like a child.
I, however, do believe in the jolly old man.
Teehee, you must think I'm childish.
The mere thought of how Santa brings smiles to children all over makes me jealous.
I'd like to be more like him someday.
You may find me arrogant for thinking so, but I'll hope you'll support me in the endeavor.

Hello there, (Captain). Season's greetings.
I'm putting decorations on the holiday tree. Would you like to join me?
Doing this reminds me of the orphanage.
Making cake and trading presents with Lette and the other children...
I treasured the reprieve I felt in those moments away from the austerity of the imperial palace.
I can't go back to the past anymore, but I pray that some of this holiday cheer reaches Lette and the children—wherever they might be.
It'd be great if you could join me for a silent prayer, (Captain).

(Captain), you came at a good time. Take a look.
It's a snowman based off of you.
Since tonight is the holy night, I also added a red hat in the spirit of Santa Claus.
The two black spots there are the eyes, the dot in the middle is the nose, and the dots at the bottom form the mouth.
Hehe, it's a very unique snowman, isn't it?
Oh my, that's quite the stare. Is it not to your liking?
You're a nice person though. I know you'll forgive me for it.

A little ways away from the holiday party, (Captain) stumbles upon Haaselia all by her lonesome.
(Captain)? The celebrations are still ongoing, aren't they?
You're wondering about me?
I simply... wished to escape my brother's gaze for a moment.
He has an embarrassing habit of complimenting me without end in front of any crowd of people.
I must admit, it's almost impressive how he can bare his true feelings without hesitation.

Haha...
Well, if it isn't (Captain)?
I was handing out gifts to the children earlier. They're just so cute when they're happy.
Seeing their innocent smiles fills me with a sense of joy. It's like my very soul is being cleansed.
The same goes for you as well. I'm blessed to have met as pure a heart as you, (Captain).
A pure heart mends the souls of others. I hope to be more like you in that regard.

Yeeaaah! Happy holidays!
Let's make this holiday crazy happy! Crazy, crazy happy!
Hey, hey! Did ya ask Santa for anything? I haven't!
I guess I've just been so happy since I met you, I don't even want anything else.
Aaah! That's pretty weak, right? Let's think of something to ask Santa for! Come on, (Captain)!

Winter Death Saw of Death! Yee-haw!
Check my baby out! I strung a bunch of lights onto it for a crazy-to-the-max effect!
I made one for you too, (Captain)! Let's go swing these around and give Santa a huge welcome!
Don't worry. I lowered the power and took the teeth off. It's totally safe!

(Captain)! I, I heard that Santa kidnaps bad boys and girls...
The people in town said that when Santa realizes you're a bad kid, instead of giving you a present he stuffs you into his bag.
I think I might be a bad kid. I'm always swinging around my Divine Death Saw of Death and screaming and stuff...
Do... Do you think he'll come kidnap me, (Captain)?
I don't wanna go... I don't wanna be apart from you... Sniffle...

  • Choose: You're a good girl.
    You really think so? So he won't put me in his bag? He won't steal me away for ever and ever?
  • Choose: I'll protect you.
    Oh, (Captain)!
    If you're here to watch over me, then there's no way he'll be able to stuff me into his dumb sack!

But I'm still a little scared. Will you stay with me for tonight?
And maybe, just to be extra sure, you should hold me tight?
It's okay? Hehe. Goodie-woodie, lovey-dovey yay!
Yup, (Captain), I never feel more safe than when I'm with you.

(Captain)! Look at this lovely, outta this world mini tree!
My Divine Death Saw of Death revved up when we saw this beauty of a fir, and before I knew it, we were hack, hack, hackin'!
And those wild, awesome ornaments hanging off it? I made 'em aaalll!
See this Santa right here? Ain't it crazy pretty? Insanely lovely?
Heehee! With a tree like this, our holy night's gonna be merry to the max!
Hehehe! Don't go anywhere yet! Santa Hallessena is gifting this to everyone on the airship!
Ehehe... I hope you guys will like it.

Haaappy holidays! Yee-haw!
Santa Hallessena is comin' to town! I've prepared some lovely presents for y'all this year!
Hehehe. All you crazy people who want presents, follow the beautiful sound of my Divine Death Saw of Death!
With these grand presents, you're sure to have a grand time this winter! Come one, come all!

Halluel and Malluel

The smallest of noises suddenly wakes (Captain) from dreamland.
Malluel: Oopsy! Sorry, I guess we were too loud.
Halluel: We didn't mean to wake you, (Captain).
Someone told us today is the day all the good boys and girls get presents delivered next to their pillows.
Malluel: So Hal and I are going around delivering gifts on everyone's behalf!
Halluel: Okay. Hold out your hand.
Both: Happy holidays, (Captain)!
Malluel: The original plan was to make the drop and tiptoe out with you none the wiser. Sorry again for disturbing your slumber.
Halluel: Oh! I know the perfect apology. We'll sing you a lullaby.
Malluel: Heehee. That's a great idea, Hal!
Let's tuck you in, nice and snug.
Like being wrapped in a fluffy hug.
Now close your eyes, and sleep well in beddy-byes.
Halluel: Good night, (Captain). May visions of dancing sugarplums visit you on this holy night.

Malluel: Happy holidays, (Captain)!
Halluel: A present for the holy night from the Archangel Parcel Service!
This year's present is something special that we prepared for you.
Malluel: Hehe. Let's take a look, shall we?
Ta-da! A specially made, five-layered cake!
Halluel: Az and Iss helped us with it. They were so determined to make something that you'd like!
Malluel: It was supposed to be something small at first, but the dessert got bigger and bigger...
Halluel: All the layers have different flavors. It's really big, so enjoy it with everyone in the crew, okay?
Malluel: We should get back to delivering then. We need to get all the presents to the children tonight.
Halluel: Yeah. Let us know how you like the cake after. I'm sure Az and Iss are dying to know too.
Have a good holy night, (Captain)!

Halluel: Hahaha! Looks like Az and Iss are real serious about winning.
Malluel: Yeah, I think we're going to get crushed. Maybe we should just give up and start practicing for next year?
Halluel: Oh! (Captain)! This is perfect. Are you in the mood to join our snowball fight?
Malluel: Az and Iss recruited Sandalphon for their team, so the chances of us winning are slim to none without even sides.
Halluel: We were discussing picking up another member. Besides, getting sweaty before the holiday party is good for working up one's appetite.
Malluel: The losing team has to get the winners a cake. Let's make sure we win!

Halluel: Here's our holiday gift to you, (Captain).
It's a greeting card for the holiday season.
Malluel: We found it while out on a shopping spree in the previous town.
Halluel: Greeting cards are a great way to send love to friends and loved ones during the holidays.
So that gave us a great idea.
Malluel: We'll provide everyone in the crew with a card that they can then send to someone special, and we'll deliver them!
It's the kind of service only the Archangel Parcel Service can provide.
Halluel: Okay, here's your card. Just put down the name of your favorite person.
Malluel: We'll get it to them, guaranteed.
(Captain) nods and then writes "Halluel and Malluel."
Malluel: Haha... Oh, (Captain). You had us in mind from the start, didn't you?
Halluel: Ahaha! This is the best holiday gift we could've asked for! Thank you, (Captain).

Malluel: Happy holidays, (Captain)!
Halluel: I hope you enjoy our gift. We tried mixing it up this year.
Malluel: Ta-da! Here you go, (Captain)! A treasure map!
Follow the map, and you'll find yourself a magnificent present!
Halluel: If you get stuck, just let us know, and we'll give you a hint.
But if you find it without any hints, then...
Malluel: Well, we'll give you an extra special prize! What's the prize, you ask? That's a secret!
Halluel: Hehe. Anyway, I hope you're ready for the treasure hunt of a lifetime!
Halluel & Malluel: Ready! Set! Go!

Happy holidays!
Today is the day good little boys and girls get presents.
(Captain), have you been good this year? If so, you get a present.
And if not, you get a nice big fist to the... Hahaha! No problem this year, right? Well then. Here's your present.

Another year of good behavior, (Captain)?
Heheh. I've been observing your actions. You've been the very model of decency.
I made sure to get you a present befitting such a bastion of virtue. Here. It's yours.

What am I doing in these red clothes with this white bag?
Haha. Why, I'm fulfilling the wishes of the local tikes.
Actually I was with those children just moments ago. And to be honest, I'm a little tired.
But don't worry, (Captain). I haven't forgotten your present.
You've been a bastion of virtue this year as well, so go ahead. Take it.

(Captain), happy holidays!
Hahah, the children clung to me this year as well.
I was just traipsing around town in my red outfit and hat.
No worries of course. I made sure to prepare you a present as well. Here, it's yours.
Hm? You, too, have a gift?
Hehe... I guess we can definitely cross you off the naughty list.
Thank you. I appreciate it.

Happy holidays! Ho ho ho!
Of course I have a gift for you, (Captain). You've been so good this year!
Here you are. Did my sudden jollity startle you?
I'm rehearsing so that I can be an even better Santa Claus this year, when I hand out gifts to the children.
Oh, wait a moment now! I can't accept your gift yet, (Captain).
First I have to complete all my Santa Claus duties.
Would you save it for me as a reward once I've finished?
In that case, I'm off to spread good cheer! Have a wonderful holiday, (Captain)!

Oh, it's finally here—the one day a year in which we all celebrate becoming one in the night!
Choose: I thought today was the holy night.
It is! And what could be more sacred than worshipping one another's bodies and partaking of your partner's sacred nectar?
Ehehe... I see you have no idea what I'm referring to.
That's perfectly fine. I expected as much, which is why I decided to take things one step at a time with you...
Once you have come to crave my presence, I shall show you the most supernal of nights.
But for today, you have a party to host, don't you? I trust you are prepared to entertain me.
Choose: Let's take care of the party prep together!
The audacity...
Oh, all right. I shall grant you this boon.

Take a look at how the town transforms when wrapped in a white blanket of snow. It's a curious sight indeed.
The majority of the ancient people chose to settle in lands with little snowfall where it was more conducive to survival.
But the people of your time aren't intimidated by the elements. They band together to pioneer new trails.
Perhaps the awareness of one's mortality inspires limitless possibilities. Potential lies everywhere you look.

Mortals are extremely active in the snow, despite the chilling temperatures.
Children build their snow totems, while adults walk around in pairs.
You are no exception. Why have you brought me to town in such weather?
Sigh... To show me impressive landmarks and locations? Do you recall the warning I gave you last year?
A lack of warmth will result in a variety of sicknesses. Do you understand this, or are you being a simpleton on purpose?
If you insist, then I won't complain. Take us to the next location.

So this is where you've been hiding. The holiday party is ready to start.
By the way, I baked a cake. It's chock full of my nutritious gratitude.
I used a gamut of multicolored ingredients to sculpt a kaleidoscopic work of art. Not only does it look good, but the spicy yuzu paste gives it much needed body.
Hm? Did anyone taste test it and give feedback?
Don't be ridiculous. The captain always has the honor of taking the first bite. Everyone knows that.
Enough dawdling. If the red pickled ginger dries out, the flavor will fall flat.

What compelled you to accompany me on this supply run for tonight's holiday party?
Is it because you enjoyed last year's red pickled ginger cake? Then I am glad you came shopping with me.
However, now that we have purchased strawberries and fresh whipped cream, what will they be used for?
You're not thinking about adding them to the ginger cake, are you? I was under the impression that the chaotic taste would be too much to handle. Modern mortals are incredible.
In honor of your adventurous spirit, I suppose I can take the first bite this year.
Actually, let's split the difference. I'll eat half, and you eat half.
The risk of flavor overload is ever present, but with my skills, it will come out tasting better than last year's cake.

Come to think of it, this will be the fifth time I spend the holidays together with you.
These parties always have so many different dishes and flavors. The variety is quite astounding.
An amalgamation of the many islands' different culinary cultures—that is what led to the cuisine of today.
The exchange of various techniques, the rivalries between numerous cultures, and the sharing of different values...
This yuzu paste is the pinnacle of such gastronomic innovation.
All right, let's make our way to the party. I must taste the fruits of you mortals' efforts.

You'd better hurry off to bed before Santa Claus arrives.
You don't like me treating you like a child? Hee hee... I suppose I just can't help seeing you as one.
Whatever the case, I hope you enjoy the holiday season! Happy holidays!

(Captain), have you completed your tasks for the day? Please allow me to do any that might remain.
Today is a special day. Santa Claus is coming, isn't he?
You'd better hurry off to bed and dream of presents!
I know you want to be treated like an adult. But what better proof that you're still a child.
Very well then... If you can stay awake through my lullaby, then maybe you are an adult.
Now hop into bed. You wouldn't want to catch a cold.

How goes your duties, (Captain)?
Of all days you should rest tonight. Santa Claus won't come if you're not in bed.
Me? I've made traditional Alster cookies for him to snack on.
In fact, now that I think about it, these were the first type of cookies I ever baked. Naoise's mother taught me how.
She was like a mother to me. A mother I gained in place of the one I lost at such a young age. She taught me all sorts of things.
Here. Take these, (Captain). Place these by your bedside tonight and rest well.

(Captain)? You're still awake? It's already past bedtime.
Honestly... Hurry back up to bed before Santa Claus sees you.
Now go say your prayers and get in bed. I'll sing you to sleep with a lullaby if you're good.
Now, now. There's no need to be embarrassed.
Doting on you is my special privilege as an adult, after all.
Hehe... Seeing you puff your cheeks out like that only delights me.
Now get some sleep. That's right, your legs under the blanket... You wouldn't want to catch a cold tonight.
...
I just hope that you can stay the way you are for a little longer, my darling captain.

My, (Captain). I can't say I'm pleased to see you up so late—it is the holidays, you know.
You've still work to do? I see. Won't you let me handle it, just for today?
Oh, don't be so polite. You know, there are times when the young should act a bit spoiled.
While you're still a child, revel in your youth. All of that will fade when you're an adult, never to return.
In a few years, I'm sure you'll long for days like this one. So don't pull such a long face.
Come now, to bed with you. Here, let me tuck you in...
And hold your hand until you fall asleep. Let go of all worry and dream pleasant dreams.
Good night.
(Captain), please, stop rushing so desperately towards adulthood.
Because when you grow up, I will have one less reason to take care of you.

Now, now. There's no need to be embarrassed.
Doting on you is my special privilege as an adult, after all.
Hehe... Seeing you puff your cheeks out like that only delights me.
Now get some sleep. That's right, your legs under the blanket... You wouldn't want to catch a cold tonight.
...
I just hope that you can stay the way you are for a little longer, my darling captain.

My, (Captain). I can't say I'm pleased to see you up so late—it is the holidays, you know.
You've still work to do? I see. Won't you let me handle it, just for today?
Oh, don't be so polite. You know, there are times when the young should act a bit spoiled.
While you're still a child, revel in your youth. All of that will fade when you're an adult, never to return.
In a few years, I'm sure you'll long for days like this one. So don't pull such a long face.
Come now, to bed with you. Here, let me tuck you in...
And hold your hand until you fall asleep. Let go of all worry and dream pleasant dreams.
Good night.
(Captain), please, stop rushing so desperately towards adulthood.
Because when you grow up, I will have one less reason to take care of you.

You'd better hurry off to bed before Santa Claus arrives.
I know you want to stay up later. But to me you're still a child.
I hope you enjoy the holiday season! Happy holidays!

(Captain), have you completed your tasks for the day? Please allow me to do any that might remain.
Today is a special day. Santa Claus is coming, isn't he?
You'd better hurry off to bed and dream of presents!
I know you want to be treated like an adult. But what better proof that you're still a child.
Very well then... If you can stay awake through my lullaby, then maybe you are an adult.
Now hop into bed. You wouldn't want to catch a cold.

How goes your duties, (Captain)?
Of all days you should rest tonight. Santa Claus won't come if you're not in bed.
Me? I've made traditional Alster cookies for him to snack on.
In fact, now that I think about it, these were the first type of cookies I ever baked. Naoise's mother taught me how.
She was like a mother to me. A mother I gained in place of the one I lost at such a young age. She taught me all sorts of things.
Here. Take these, (Captain). Place these by your bedside tonight and rest well.

(Captain)? You're still awake? It's already past bedtime.
Honestly... Hurry back up to bed before Santa Claus sees you.
Now go say your prayers and get in bed. I'll sing you to sleep with a lullaby if you're good.
Now, now. There's no need to be embarrassed.
Doting on you is my special privilege as an adult, after all.

I always used to spend the holidays with my family.
But sometimes it's fun to just go partying with some friends! Now, I wonder if there are any beautiful ladies out there...

Did you know that different regions have their own ways of celebrating tonight?
I've come across quite a few customs as I hopped from city to city.
There's a place where it's a day for lovers to reaffirm their affections for each other.
Romantic, isn't it?
Celebrating with your one true love...
That's the best thing in the world.
I hope I can find someone to share my heart with someday.
There's a party going on in the city right now. If I go, do you think I'll run into the one, (Captain)?

It's a beautiful night, isn't it, (Captain)? A romantic moon like that—really makes you want to snuggle up to somebody special.
I bet that's why you've come to see me.
Hehe. It's okay to assume something vain like that, right?
After all, you're the one who came to me.
Want to go outside for a bit?
I want to show you just how beautiful the night sky is. Well, shall we?

Mm, aah... Oh, it's you, (Captain). What's happening?
Hm? The party's already started? That's right, it's the eve of the big holiday, isn't it?
I'm sorry... I was totally absorbed in making models. Thank you for coming to let me know.
Let me lead you to the venue.
You don't mind if I have you all to myself on the way, do you?

Whew... Sure is cold tonight.
Heya, (Captain). I'm back. Really chilly out there, huh?
Everyone out in town was having a jolly ol' time—just what I like to see for the holidays.
I'm nearly chilled to the bone after walking all the way back here. But no frostbite thankfully.
It's such a relief that it's always warm and cozy inside the ship.
I bet the secret to it is you, (Captain).
Any chance you can let me in on how you do it?

Heh heh. It sure is quiet tonight, (Captain).
On a night like this, two people illuminated only by candlelight...
It's the perfect setting for drills.
Haha, I'm just kidding.
I must thank you for letting me in your crew, (Captain).
It's my fondest wish to spend another peaceful holiday evening like this with you.
Next year, the year after, and so on.
Have a wonderful evening.

On certain islands, I hear this holy night is dedicated to... L-lovers...
Have you ever... spent time with a lover on this holiest of nights?
I... I'm sorry. Forgive me. I don't mean to be so prying. What am I thinking...
You have my deepest apologies, (Captain). Please forget my question!
Agh... I will never be able to live up to my father's legacy if I'm so busy worrying about such trite matters.
Curses to these superfluous thoughts! Will I ever be free from pondering such silly things?
I'm sorry, (Captain). I need to clear my mind of such thoughts. To do so, I will be going for a run!

Um... (Captain)? Forgive me for asking this out of the blue, but...
Do you have any plans today?
Really? Great! Then let's spend the day together!
I keep thinking about the tradition of spending this day with the person you love...
Someday I might be in a position to do that... So I have to prepare!
Ah, wait, no! I shouldn't burden you with such a selfish request!
Agh... My impure thoughts have gotten the better of me once again!
(Captain), I've changed my mind! I want you to spend today training with me!
We'll train until my mind is as pure as the driven snow!

(Captain)... Should you really be out here during the holiday party?
Hm? You saw me come out and chased after me?
Haha. Thanks for caring, (Captain).
I had such a good time with all the fun and drinks that my body started heating up. Thought I'd come out for some fresh air.
I've always kept up my training during the holidays even though I gave my agents time off.
I was too obsessed with getting stronger to know how to take it easy and enjoy myself at such occasions.
Haha, how I've changed ever since meeting you, (Captain). I... hope you'll take responsibility.
Oh, just kidding. I guess being in such a good mood makes me more glib. A bit strange perhaps, given how chilly I'm feeling.
Say, why don't we go back inside and hang out there? We'll make this a night to remember!

(Captain), happy holidays. How are the party preparations going on your side?
So the room decorations aren't hung up yet. I'll bolster our efforts in that area then.
I actually just finished pruning the tree over here. It was a more enjoyable activity than I expected.
Slicing off the branches and arranging them into a pleasing shape...
It made for good swordsmanship training, so I ended up getting quite into it.
Haha, I know the banquet is supposed to be the main source of entertainment... But training is equally as entertaining to me.
I like to think of it as a bonus, in addition to being able to contribute to a wonderful holy night for you.
Now let's get to that decorating. Just a little bit more, and we'll be set for a fun evening!

Icarus: Happy holidays, (Captain)! Something in the kitchen smells real good!
Chicken, cake, and a whole lot of other food too! There's so much to eat... I can't wait!
Deimos: (You best keep your eyes on this child, (Captain).)
(The moment you let your eyes off him, the entire table will be wiped clean. "Just a little taste," he says.)
Icarus: L-like I'd ever do that!
I mean, back when I was a kid, sure... I'd get in trouble with Mom though.
Hey, stop looking at me like that, (Captain)!

Heard that somewhere they turned one of my works into a date spot.
Even made up some kind of fable, something about how confessing in front of my graffiti will bind you together, or not.
Take this, little dude. It's your new ink. Pretty nice place here, isn't it? How about you and I throw up a new date spot right now?
And when we're done, I can sing you a little confession. Bind us together, like the rumors say.
Heh. I'm just joking with you. Don't have much experience, do you, little dude? That's cute.
But for real, after, we can stargaze and stay up till the moon starts fading. Special night tonight and it's just getting started.
Happy holidays, (Captain).

Yo, little dude. I'm Santa. Look at my sick sack.
What do you mean, why is it empty? That's how it's supposed to be.
You ever heard of the anti-Santa? When you've been bad, he sticks you in his sack and spirits you away.
Hey, little dude... You're a good kid. Or you were.
You know what we do at night. You're crazy now, kid. I drove you crazy.
Heh... Heh-heh... Oh, you know why my sack's empty now.
Hey, no running!
We're gonna have ourselves a dope little holiday. So come to papa...

Yawn... Good night, little dude. Man, whole world looks like a gigantic snow globe... Huh?
What's this? A sleeping bag? Naw, looks more like Santa's sack. Question is, heck am I doing in it?
Oh... Little dude, you set this up? Getting me back for all those times I pranked you, huh?
Heh. Turning into a real piece of work, aren't ya? You wild child...
But...
With a wicked smile, Illnott produces a spray gun, points it at (Captain), and pulls the trigger.
A powerful jet of ink slams into (Captain), not from the nozzle, but from behind the captain's back.
Startled, (Captain) reels toward the huge sack Illnott was sleeping in and...
Wouldya look at that? Seems like I bagged me a crazy gift.
You ain't ever out-pranking me, kid.
So, little present... How do you think we should celebrate Dope Eve?

...
Illnott spray-paints the window of a house in town, surrounded by children eagerly watching over the process.
Oh. What's up, little dude?
Me? Just doing some snowy art. Not my usual style, I know...
Go ahead. Laugh it up.
Was dropping some "gifts" around town when these kids found me. Roped me into painting their houses after that.
Tch, I tried to tell 'em no, but they wouldn't leave me alone. So here I am.
Choose: You're nicer than you let on.
Yeah? Then I better get a special present for being on the extra nice list.
You best not forget.

Today I got off of work early, so I headed into town and bought a cake.
I saw a lot of couples and families walking about. Everyone looked very happy.
What am I doing tonight? I thought I would go back to my room and eat my cake.
With who? I'm afraid I don't have anyone to eat it with.
It's just... I wasn't sure if it was all right to go to the crew party.
Oh, looks like I've gone and worried you. But I'm happy you thought of me.
Thanks, (Captain). Allow me to treat you and the others to some cake.

Impressive... Not only is this year's tree imposing in size, but it's been beautifully decorated.
I'm glad I decided to stop by the plaza on my way home from work.
You don't have to stay with me, (Captain). I didn't expect to run into you while you were out shopping for party supplies like this.
Wouldn't you rather be out creating fond memories with others closer to your age?
This special night only comes once a year, and surely you'd have a more enjoyable experience with them.
You... really don't mind being here with me? Ah, I see. You wanted to invite me to the party too.
Thank you. Then allow me the pleasure of bringing another cake this year.
Shall we walk for a bit? I can help you carry some of those bags if you'd like.

It took so long to finish the work the brass threw at me that it's already late. What an awful holiday present.
(I expected as much, but it's a little disappointing I wasn't able to attend the crew's party...)
Oh?
As Ilsa reaches out to open the door to her room, she notices a card attached to it.
A season's greeting card... from (Captain).
Heh... Hope you'll be able to join us next time. This level of consideration deserves a medal, (Captain).
Now then, I wonder if I have any candles?
It would be dull to eat this cake in ordinary lighting. I think I'll get into the holiday spirit with some warm candlelight.
Having made her decision, Ilsa sets the card from (Captain) on the table and smiles at it fondly.

Happy holidays, (Captain). Sorry I'm late to the party.
Yeah, it was a long day at work. Anything even mildly irritating seems to come during the holidays.
Just seeing the tower of paperwork waiting for me on my desk was enough to give me a headache...
Well, but seeing that grin on your face makes plowing through all that work worth it.
As an apology for my tardiness, I bought some desserts on my way here.
Cream puffs—the swan ones, of course. There's also strawberry shortcake, some tarts, crepes, and boba...
Whew... Since it's my favorite place, I got a little carried away and ended up getting almost everything. Let's enjoy tonight's party together.

Happy holidays. Sorry I'm late to the party.
I was planning to arrive before the event kicked off, but I had to put out some minor fires first.
The top brass and their backstabbing politics may be gone, but now my subordinates are running around like headless chickens. I wish they'd grow a pair and start thinking for themselves.
Sigh. Sorry, didn't mean to rant. Tonight is all about fun, and I intend to have it.
I bought a lot of dessert to share with everyone.
Oh, and remember that cake you were eyeing last year?
I grabbed the only two left—one for you, and one for me. Let's keep this between us, okay?

It's just... I wasn't sure if it was all right to go to the crew party.
Oh, looks like I've gone and worried you. But I'm happy you thought of me.
Thanks, (Captain). Allow me to treat you and the others to some cake.

Impressive... Not only is this year's tree imposing in size, but it's been beautifully decorated.
I'm glad I decided to stop by the plaza on my way home from work.
You don't have to stay with me, (Captain). I didn't expect to run into you while you were out shopping for party supplies like this.
Wouldn't you rather be out creating fond memories with others closer to your age?
This special night only comes once a year, and surely you'd have a more enjoyable experience with them.
You... really don't mind being here with me? Ah, I see. You wanted to invite me to the party too.
Thank you. Then allow me the pleasure of bringing another cake this year.
Shall we walk for a bit? I can help you carry some of those bags if you'd like.

It took so long to finish the work the brass threw at me that it's already late. What an awful holiday present.
(I expected as much, but it's a little disappointing I wasn't able to attend the crew's party...)
Oh?
As Ilsa reaches out to open the door to her room, she notices a card attached to it.
A season's greeting card... from (Captain).
Heh... Hope you'll be able to join us next time. This level of consideration deserves a medal, (Captain).
Now then, I wonder if I have any candles?
It would be dull to eat this cake in ordinary lighting. I think I'll get into the holiday spirit with some warm candlelight.
Having made her decision, Ilsa sets the card from (Captain) on the table and smiles at it fondly.

Happy holidays, (Captain). Sorry I'm late to the party.
Yeah, it was a long day at work. Anything even mildly irritating seems to come during the holidays.
Just seeing the tower of paperwork waiting for me on my desk was enough to give me a headache...
Well, but seeing that grin on your face makes plowing through all that work worth it.
As an apology for my tardiness, I bought some desserts on my way here.
Cream puffs—the swan ones, of course. There's also strawberry shortcake, some tarts, crepes, and boba...
Whew... Since it's my favorite place, I got a little carried away and ended up getting almost everything. Let's enjoy tonight's party together.

Happy holidays. Sorry I'm late to the party.
I was planning to arrive before the event kicked off, but I had to put out some minor fires first.
The top brass and their backstabbing politics may be gone, but now my subordinates are running around like headless chickens. I wish they'd grow a pair and start thinking for themselves.
Sigh. Sorry, didn't mean to rant. Tonight is all about fun, and I intend to have it.
I bought a lot of dessert to share with everyone.
Oh, and remember that cake you were eyeing last year?
I grabbed the only two left—one for you, and one for me. Let's keep this between us, okay?

Today I got off of work early, so I headed into town and bought a cake.
I saw a lot of couples and families walking about. Everyone looked very happy.

Happy holidays!
Come on! Let's go get some cake!

There really are all kinds of great things to do this time of year.
You can spend time with your friends. You can eat great food. And you can even get presents from Santa Claus!
Hehe. It really is the best time of year!
I can hardly wait for it each time.
Hey, let's go over to the kitchen! I'm sure someone's making something good for dinner.
We should help them out! Then maybe we'll get to try some!

Hehe! I'll be making the cake for tonight!
And you'll be helping me, (Captain)! Let's see if we have all the ingredients ready...
Hm? Where's the apple? I could have sworn I put it here. Don't tell me...
I know who did it! We'll bake that cake later, (Captain). First we gotta catch this thief!
Hehe. Time to add some roast lizard to tonight's menu.

(Captain)! Hey, (Captain)! It's snowing!
Hehe. Don't you think it's romantic?
This holiday really isn't complete without a thick, white blanket of snow.
What? You wanna have a snowball fight! And you want me to go round up the rest of the girls to join?
Really, (Captain)! Way to ruin the mood!

Hey, (Captain)! Have you seen Vyrn around anywhere?
What? He went to borrow clothes from Santa Claus?
All right, looks like he's getting ready! I better get changed too.
We're going to be giving presents out to the kids on the ship, so we've got to look the part!
That's what a good adult does during the holidays, isn't it? Hey, how about joining us too, (Captain)?

Happy holidays! Santa must get mighty cold traveling alone in winter.
But it's nothing a warm bowl of ramen couldn't fix!

Jolly holly holidays, Captain!
Care for a little stroll before ol' Santa drops by?
A piping-hot bowl of ramen should be a fine, festive delight on a cold winter day!
My treat of course! Take it as my holiday gift to you!

I'm telling you, ramen tastes great when the season turns chilly!
The longest winter night is the best time to sit down with a few bowls of ramen!
So how about it, (Captain)? Let's grab a bite while we wait for Santa!
Ha-ha! If he shows up while we're eating...
I'll treat him to a bowl of ramen too!

'Tis the season!
Brr... It sure is cold, though. Looks like it'll snow tonight.
There's a ramen cart around here that I've been meaning to try. How about we check it out?
They say this one only shows up on the most holy and silent of nights.
Oho! So you're interested? All right. I'll lead the way.
There's something magical about ramen on a snowy night, don't you think?

I'll be making ramen for this year's holiday dinner!
My piping hot ramen is sure to warm you up and give you the strength to make it through the winter!
That being said, if you eat a big bowl of ramen, you won't have room for anything else.
And that'd be a waste, considering the huge spread of delicious food at the feast.
So I did a little brainstorming, and I came up with this!
I call it... cup ramen!
This way, light eaters can have one cup, and heavy eaters can have refills!
I hope you'll eat to your stomach's content too, (Captain)!

Isaac: Ahem... "Blessed be the fruit granted unto us by the cycle of life..."
"We give thanks to the heavens and gods almighty who oversee all creation for a plentiful harvest."
Gwynne: "Peace be with us..."
Isaac: That's how the holiday prayer goes in our family.
Gwynne: Thanks for teaching it to me. Are you okay with not being at the crew's party though?
Isaac: It's nice to spend some quiet time with family sometimes, especially on a special night like this.
Gwynne: So that's what you had in mind...
Isaac: That a problem?
Gwynne: I actually invited Commander Ilsa too. She said she'll bring the crew along if she's able to drop by.
Just then, the restaurant's door opens and in comes (Captain) and company.
Sorry...
Isaac: No, no, it's fine. I consider them family too, so this works out great.

Everyone: Happy holidays!
Gwynne: Pfft! Isaac, you have any idea how loud you were just now?
Isaac: Ahaha, my voice is cracking... Guess I should tone it down a bit when trying something new.
Gwynne: Still though, I never pegged you for the type to get this excited about holding a party.
Isaac: Yep, it's definitely unheard of. Not even Raybury would believe it if you told him.
While the more somber type of holiday observances our ancestors practiced are also important, I think I could get used to festivities like this.
Gwynne: Oh? Color me surprised.
Isaac: It was your family that taught me the importance of living happily together. And I'm just trying to do more of that.
Only I'm not used to being at the center of it all. Haha...
Gwynne: No need to overdo it though. Let's go up and chat at the terrace later.
Isaac: Sure. I wanted to catch up with you too.

Happy holidays! So happy to have ya invite me out, Cousin.
Wait, most've everyone's already here? Hope I can adjust...
You know, I tend to show up for these types of things a little bit before the start time, and I know that could be both a good or bad thing.
I know that in some cultures, it's actually considered more polite to arrive a little bit after everything's started. Could be considered awkward to show up too early.
Oh, right, right! The crew's made up of people from all different kinds of backgrounds. I guess everyone kinda shows up at their own pace.
That's great actually... That we can all do what we're accustomed to even as a big crew.
Well, then, if you invite me back next year, I'll come a little early as usual.
Why don't we have ourselves a little chat until everyone else gets here, Cousin?

The fireplace in my home always used to be lit.
On cold, quiet nights, everyone seemed to wander toward it.
I loved that fireplace. It was so warm... and inviting.
When you sat in front of it, it always felt like its warmth was there protecting you. I was so used to that feeling.
In those days it was the one thing that truly gave me solace.
But that was all so many years ago...

Good evening, (Captain). Hm? Did you wish to speak with me?
Ah, that's right. Tonight is the night for holiday celebrations. And is that a present for me?
It warms my heart knowing that you went out of your way to see me on this special day. Thank you, (Captain).
You're as warm and cozy as a roaring fireplace.
When you're with me, I feel happiness even on the coldest nights...
I like you, (Captain)...

Tonight is that time of gift-giving and mistletoe. Oh, are you cold?
Mm... I always end up making things chillier whenever I'm around.
But your kindness and warmth never fails to thaw my frozen heart. Those qualities are irreplaceable.
So I'd love it if you stayed by my side...
I want to feel your warmth. Is that okay?
Thank you. I like you, (Captain).

I'm so lucky I get to spend another holiday with you, (Captain).
Are you sure you're okay, though? I'm very worried that you'll catch a cold from being around me.
And I feel... restless. You're always so warm and kind to me, but I...
I've always wanted to return that favor. Presents can be given early on the eve of the big day too, right?
But what gift can I give? I'd like to think about it for a bit. So will you stay with me?
Sitting here, chatting by a roaring fireplace... I'm positive it'll help me think of something.

I guess it's become customary for us to relax here in front of the fireplace, every year on this holy night...
Ever since we met, I've been so blessed with your kindness and warmth...
I've heard that the holy night is a special occasion to celebrate the time you spend with your loved ones.
I'm very happy that I can experience this kind of appreciation for others...
(Captain), thank you for showing me this warmth. I love you...

Sitting here, chatting by a roaring fireplace... I'm positive it'll help me think of something.

I guess it's become customary for us to relax here in front of the fireplace, every year on this holy night...
Ever since we met, I've been so blessed with your kindness and warmth...
I've heard that the holy night is a special occasion to celebrate the time you spend with your loved ones.
I'm very happy that I can experience this kind of appreciation for others...
(Captain), thank you for showing me this warmth. I love you...

The festive season? Can't say I ever heard of that!
As an orphan, I didn't get a Santa hat! I didn't get a tree or presents from the store!
So what the heck are you botherin' me for?
Yo, you want to give me all that stuff? Well, then I hope a thanks is enough...

Yo, happy! Happy, happy! Happy holidays!
Tonight, we're gonna party 'til we drop! And I'll be coming in, bringing on the hip-hop!
Captain, J.J., everybody!
You want a tree? One red costume, please! How about some fruitcake? Let's party, for goodness sake!
Hey, what's goin' on up here? I'm not feeling the cheer. We gotta raise the roof with this crew!
Just kidding, Captain. We're having a good time. This place is so happening!
Heheh. Now this is what I call a real happy holiday!

Yo, yo, jingle bells, jingle bells!
Ringing those bells, dashin' through the snow, party's gonna start before you even know!
All right y'all, Santa J.J. is in the house!
Jinglin' here, jinglin' there, blingin' all the way! Ho!
All together, all together, let's party night and day!
Whoo! Happy holidays! You havin' fun, (Captain)?
Holiday partaaay! Yeaaaah!

What am I bringing to the gift exchange? Well, someone's gonna get a healthy dose of my freestyle!
J.J. droppin', poppin', hip-hoppin', O ho-ho-ho holy night!
It's hot—so hot—meltin' the snowy twilight!
Singin' "yo!" The holiday's awaitin'! And so! We gonna go a-wassailin'!
See the ice—bling bling—wrappin' 'round the tree!
Keep on rhymin'—ring-a-ling—a freestylin' spree!
Oh, what fun is it to rhyme on this Noel scene. Getcha holly-jolly on, y'know what I mean?
Can I hear ya say "yeah"? Yeaah!
Okay! That rap's a wrap! My present's good to go!
What? It's supposed to be something physical? But I don't have anything else to give...

Say yeah! Holy night, oh! (Captain), you ready to celebrate?
The streets are alive with light. But where there's light, there's shadow.
When I was a kid, I used to watch people going about their holiday business from the back streets...
I always saw a bunch of kids my own age, hanging out with their moms and dads and loving the season.
I used to look at those sparkling trees with a lot of contempt. And I know there are still a ton of kids out there like me.
That's why I vow to bring them the gift of hip-hop!
Yo! Hear it, the rhyme panther! It's your hero, J.J. Santa!
You wanna help me spread the cheer, man?

Hmm... Ah, would you like a gift, Master (Captain)? I have obtained some toys and treasures.
Yes, I liberated them from a bandit. He was carrying a large bag full of presents as he ran away from me.
But there's one thing I don't understand. Why would he dress in such an eye-catching red outfit... What? It was Rackam in costume?
Oh no... This is the most mortifying thing that's ever happened to me...

... Ah, Master (Captain), forgive me for not responding immediately.
Because of my little mishap the previous year, I decided to give Rackam a hand this year.
But he immediately told me to run off to bed for some reason.
I wonder if he'll be okay carrying such a large bag alone...

I have erected a snowman over there, Master. Please make good use of it.
Hm? For what purpose?
My clan would routinely use it for clandestine operations. You can observe the enemy by hiding inside.
Even if a snowman wasn't there before, no one would give a second thought to a freshly made one. There is a small caveat however...
You'll freeze to death if you fall asleep inside it. Well, honestly it's not that big of a deal.

Are you heading out, Master?
In that case, rest assured that your security will be absolute. I have built snowmen all over town in which I can conceal myself in order to watch over you.
Should any miscreants dare to cast the shadow of violence over your holiday outing, I shall eliminate them before they have a chance to—
Hm? I should just come along with you? But...
Understood. Then I shall travel with you as your bodyguard.
Thank you for your consideration.

Master... Are you certain you want to lend your assistance? I'm perfectly capable of making a snowman for infiltration purposes on my own...
Could it be that... there is a flaw with my snowmen? If that's the case, please inform me of it and I will work to fix it immediately!
There aren't any flaws? I see... I'm relieved to hear that.
Still, I would hate for your plans on this holy night to be interrupted from helping me with this endeavor. Perhaps it would be better if you...
Huh... You'd like me to walk you through how to make a snowman, step by step?
Very well! If that is your wish, then I would be more than glad to oblige.
Wait! Master? By walking me through it step by step, you don't mean... actually taking me by the hand and walking together?

Happy holidays! I hear today is going to be a wonderful day!
Yeah, hehe! Looks like I heard right! The rabbits, the squirrels... oh, everyone looks so happy!
(Captain), are you happy today too?
Huh? Oh no! Your hands are half-frozen!

Hey, (Captain)! Over here!
It's really chilly today, so let's have the animals warm us up!
Hm? It's better if the animals aren't here? You mean you'd rather be alone with me?
Eheheh... No, I don't mind at all... Let's spend the day together then...

Today's a day to spend with your loved ones... Will you spend the day with me, (Captain)?
Teehee, thank you. I hope you don't mind my animals joining us.
I love you all the same!

Happy holidays, (Captain)!
Why don't we decorate the tree together this year?
The animals have gathered lots of ripe fruits and berries for us.
It's all for making the tree look super pretty.
You can hang up the ones you like too, (Captain)!
Hehe, with you and all the animals hustling about...
Decorating the tree tonight feels like a party!

(Captain)! Happy holidays!
I made little stockings for all the animals to make sure Santa's presents reach them too!
Of course, I saved one just for you!
Here you go, (Captain)! Don't forget to hang it by your bedside!
When morning comes, we'll be able to compare our presents!

Happy holidays, Captain.
It's fun to have a lively celebration, but silent nights can be enjoyable too. Whichever you choose, I hope you have a great time tonight!

As a child, I always looked forward to Santa Claus's visits.
All the teddy bears I received back then are still in my room back home.
Teehee... They're all so cute; I couldn't bear to throw any of them out.
Santa Claus has given me so many fond memories with his gifts.
Knowing that the children of today are receiving gifts like I once did warms my heart.

Sincerest greetings to you, (Captain). The streets are filled with joyous chatter on this holy night.
Even so, the number of couples strolling about is most unusual...
Hm? Tonight is also a special time for deepening one's relationship? Ah, that makes sense.
I'm sorry. I can't say I pay much attention to such details.
But there is truth in it.
The holy night should be a blessing. It's best to spend time with someone important to you.
I have to show my thanks for being able to spend this night with you and the rest of the crew.
It's a very cold night, but my heart is warm.

Happy holidays, (Captain). Another festive season is upon us.
People coming together in harmony around a table...
It's such a normal custom, but I hope such warm-heartedness continues next year, the year after, and forever after that.
My wish is to protect people as they go about their daily lives.
I know what I can manage by myself won't amount to much...
But still... If my meager help provides the key to even one person's happiness, then I am sure of this path.

Hm? Oh, (Captain). Happy holidays.
I'm sorry, could you wait just a minute? Thank you. I'll just hang this here... Fix this a little...
There! It's perfect. Look, (Captain)—it's a tapestry, spun into a holiday design.
It has a red and green motif with a cake, Santa Claus, a tree with ornaments...
I made it to depict a scene with everyone spending an enjoyable holy night together. What do you think? Hehe... Thank you.
I pray with all my heart that I can continue spending the holiday season with you and the others... Not only this year, but also in the years to come.
That is why I shall devote myself to my mission... But I suppose that kind of talk would be too solemn for a festive night like this.
Hehe, I apologize. You're right—tonight, let's relax and enjoy the holiday season together.

Happy holidays, (Captain). A holy night like this... does not suit me the way I am now...
Haha, how kind of you. But please don't make such a sad face.
Your smile is the greatest gift for me now. Something more would be...
It's really cold, can you give me a hug? Haha... Please?

The holiday season no longer suits me...
And yet I still love the snow and how it covers everything in pure white.
Perhaps if the snow covered and froze my heart, I'd be free of this torment.
But no... Running from my sins will not do.
Even if it means letting the torment drag me down into madness!

Tell me, (Captain). Is this holy night supposed to be so freezing cold?
Though the streets are filled with joyous voices, all I hear in my heart is silence.
It's cold and dreadful...
Will you take my hand, (Captain)?
Squeeze my hand as if to fill that void... More, more!
Mm, warmth. Your hand alone is always warm.

I hear the voices of children at play...
Is it the winter festival? I remember when I too felt like those children during this time of year.
Such innocence, when you look past the surface, is simple ignorance.
Once you've realized this truth, you can never return to purer days.
I suspect that I won't ever...
Ah, excuse me, (Captain). You've come to invite me to the festivities?
I'm afraid I must refuse—I had planned to pray in my room.
Don't make that face. It's more than enough that you came to invite me.
Truly..

What's the matter, (Captain)? You want me to join you in singing holiday carols?
I'm sorry, but I will have to turn down the kind invitation.
I'm afraid I'm not fit to celebrate the holy night...
I'll only stain the noble sentiments with which you sing, you see...
You tell me I'm thinking too much into it, but I don't think I can do it, (Captain).
Now go. They're waiting for you. I'm happy that you went out of your way to invite me—thank you.
I shall offer up my prayers as I listen to the sweet sound of your singing.

Happy holidays! Huh? You want to know who I'll be spending my time with? Hrm, with all my friends in the crew I suppose.
The winter chill will be tough to brave, but days like this when we can just relax and enjoy each other's company makes it all the more bearable.
Even when surrounded by frigid snow, the company of others helps me forget the cold and have a good time.
It's important to remember that we're not alone.
Haha... Shall we go and prepare dinner?

Happy holidays, (Captain)!
Today's a festive night! The children can barely contain their excitement waiting for Santa Claus!
Huh, me? I'm a little too old to get presents from Santa Claus... Right?
Although I do cherish all of the presents that I've received in the past.
Mm? What kind of presents?
Let's see... My favorite was a stuffed rabbit, I guess.
I used to make clothes for Mr. Bunny myself. That's how I learned to enjoy sewing.
I hope the children will forever treasure the presents they receive tonight.

Hello, (Captain). Happy holidays!
Oh... I'm sorry, that was a little loud, wasn't it?
I was doing some vocal training just now. I'll need to get used to lowering my voice again...
Hm? Why vocal training, you ask? Why, for the holiday carols, of course...
Oh! Come to think of it, other towns might not have the same customs we do.
In Orleans, everyone gathers and offers up a song of prayer on the holy night.
I was practicing so my song can ring out and reach the creator in the skies above...
Huh? You want to hear it? O-oh, well... All right, then I will sing it once more for you.

Happy holidays, Captain. Have you finished hanging up ornaments?
I also just returned from helping the village children decorate a holiday tree.
They really enjoyed the small Santa Claus doll I made...
So much so that they were about to fight to see who could place it on the tree. I'll have to make more for next year.
What? You wish you could have seen it?
Hehe, how about I make one for you next year as well?
If it will brighten up your holy night, then I shall be happy to do it.

Ah, I finally found you, (Captain).
Last year I promised to make you your very own Santa Claus doll, and I have come to deliver on my promise.
Please take this.
Whether you place it under the tree or in a windowsill, I'll be happy just knowing it has a home somewhere.
Haha. I'm glad you like it. There's something fulfilling about putting up decorations that you make yourself.
I hope every holy night is as peaceful and relaxing as tonight.
No, I shouldn't be "hoping," so to speak. It is my mission to protect the peace.
I will do my best every day in order to secure another harmonious holy night with you, (Captain).

Tell me, (Captain). Is this holy night supposed to be so freezing cold?
Though the streets are filled with joyous voices, all I hear in my heart is silence.
It's cold and dreadful...
Will you take my hand, (Captain)?
Squeeze my hand as if to fill that void... More, more!
Mm, warmth. Your hand alone is always warm.

I hear the voices of children at play...
Is it the winter festival? I remember when I too felt like those children during this time of year.
Such innocence, when you look past the surface, is simple ignorance.
Once you've realized this truth, you can never return to purer days.
I suspect that I won't ever...
Ah, excuse me, (Captain). You've come to invite me to the festivities?
I'm afraid I must refuse—I had planned to pray in my room.
Don't make that face. It's more than enough that you came to invite me.
Truly...

What's the matter, (Captain)?
You want me to join you in singing holiday carols?
I'm sorry, but I will have to turn down the kind invitation.
I'm afraid I'm not fit to celebrate the holy night...
I'll only stain the noble sentiments with which you sing, you see...
You tell me I'm thinking too much into it, but I don't think I can do it, (Captain).
Now go. They're waiting for you. I'm happy that you went out of your way to invite me—thank you.
I shall offer up my prayers as I listen to the sweet sound of your singing.

This season brings back so many memories. My brother and I used to stay up late trying to catch Santa...
My dream is to spend the holidays with the people I care about most.
Who do you want to spend the holiday season with, (Captain)?

This is the season for celebration. With that in mind, I did my best to prepare something tasty for you.
Hehehe. I really do love cooking. And I love watching people enjoy my cuisine.
Tonight I will prepare a feast for all to enjoy!

Captain! Santa should be coming soon, so hurry up and get in bed!
If you stay up too late, then Santa might leave without visiting the Grandcypher.
I'll put you in a time-out if you don't go to sleep this instant!

The holiest night of the year has come round again, (Captain).
I know you'll have fun celebrating with everyone, but don't stay up too late, all right?
If you find yourself tossing and turning in bed, I'll come tuck you in and send you right off to dreamland.
I used to be in charge of putting my little brother to bed at night. I'd sing him lullabies, or read him bedtime stories...
Haha... Sometimes I ended up putting myself to sleep in the process. But it did work.

The town sure is bustling on this festive night. Hehe... It's fun just walking around.
I'd love to take a leisurely stroll, but I have to finish shopping so I can head back and prepare for the party.
Let's see... I need ingredients for the feast, and the kids on the crew asked for treats...
Why don't we bring back ornaments for the tree too? If we end up with some left over, we can use them as table decorations.
Oh, is that so? Hehe, I'm glad you agree. In that case, let's stop by the general store first.
Um... By the way...
Do you happen to know what street we're on, (Captain)?
I seem to have gotten lost. I'd appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction...

There's something I've been asking everyone concerning the holidays. Mind if I ask you too?
Seeing a big thumbs-up from (Captain), Jessica continues on.
Is there an age when it stops becoming appropriate for me to give Ayer a holiday present?
Oh, I don't plan on stopping anytime soon. But I was wondering if I should consider a cutoff at some point.
You think he'll be happy with my presents no matter how old we get?
Thanks, that's a relief. I guess a part of me was panicking over nothing.
Huh? Why am I even asking this? Well...
That's a secret!
More importantly, I hope you're looking forward to the present I have for you, (Captain)!

Thanks for meeting with me, (Captain).
See, I've been having trouble coming up with good gift ideas for Ayer...
He won't put up with being treated like a kid anymore, so I figured I'd get him a present he can use even when he grows up.
And I thought since you've been around him the longest, I should ask your opinion on what would make the perfect gift for him!
I've got a present with your name on it if you help me out! I'll take you out for some delicious cake too!
I found this amazing bakery that sells the yummiest sweets!
We'll sneak away for a bite of holiday cake, you and me. Just you wait, you're in for a real treat!

Happy holidays! It really warms my heart to see all the kids running around so happy.
May you have a most wonderful evening, (Captain)!

I wish you happy holidays, (Captain)!
Tis the season for friends to gather and enjoy each other's company.
When I roamed the skies alone, I was so emotionally distant from everyone else.
So the opportunity to spend the holidays with close friends is a true blessing for me.
Everything should be experienced once—even loneliness. Of course I can only say that because I've moved past it.

Impersonating Santa Claus and passing out presents to children—that is the reason for the season.
And speaking of, I've just come back from fetching a present to put on Sara's pillow.
But entering the bedroom of a sleeping girl seems quite ungentlemanly.
What should I do? Perhaps I shall enlist the help of Volenna. Mmm...

Excuse me, Captain, could I trouble you for a moment of your time?
Thank you. You see, I've been trying to decide on a holiday gift for Sara.
I've been to toy stores, general stores, and clothing shops, but I'm not sure what she would like...
I'm at an utter loss, and now the day is already upon us. How disgraceful...
Volenna is busy preparing dinner in the kitchen, so I can't ask for her advice...
Would you perhaps be willing to accompany me on my shopping expedition?
You have my deepest gratitude. With your assistance, I'm sure I'll be able to figure something out!
And I'll have time to find something for you as well!
Oh...
That was supposed to be a secret... What a blunder...
Well, the surprise may be ruined, but please let me know if you see anything that catches your eye.
I've set aside funds just for this occasion!

What's this? Santa Claus is almost here, and you're still awake, (Captain)?
I was drinking with Eugen and the others, but now I'm sobering up here on the deck.
I'm not a lightweight by any means, but there's just no keeping up with them.
But that's enough of that. It wouldn't be good for you to become interested in drinking too.
Drinking can be fun, of course, but there are plenty of downsides to be careful of.
You're free to find out only after you've become an adult.
Not that someone like me should be the one telling you that.
Let's head back inside. We don't want to catch a cold right before we head into the new year, after all!

Happy holidays. I bet even Santa Claus can't make it to the ends of the sky.
Or can he?
It would be so awesome if he could!

Do you think Santa's sleigh could reach the bottom of the sky?
If I pleaded with him enough, I wonder if he'd take me there...
Then again, maybe he's too busy.
I should've asked when I was a kid. Instead of a present, I should've asked for a sleigh ride.
Ah... But maybe it's for the best.
If I'd asked, I might never have met you and the crew, (Captain). Yeah, I'm glad I met you instead!

Mm... It really is pretty...
Hm? (Captain)... Are you curious about this book of paintings?
I got it when I was a little kid. Do you wanna take a look?
Supposedly this painting is by an artist who was fascinated with the bottom of the sky, so she drew what she imagined it'd be like.
I bet she was a lot like me... Probably read fairy tales and thought a lot about a huge sea far beneath the clouds...
I wanted to meet her one day and ask her all sorts of things... But I heard she passed away a long time ago.
Looking at this picture, I wonder if Santa Claus will get to see a sight like this tonight! If he does, he sure is lucky...

What a quiet night it is... Then again, tonight is that special night.
Oh, of course. Because I brought you away from the party.
Hm, sorry about that. I just wanted to talk to you alone.
Especially after seeing how pretty it was outside from the window.
Hm, what I wanted to talk about? Well, I didn't exactly have something in mind.
But I was thinking that even at the bottom of the skies, they might be celebrating the festivities the same way we are... How strange that'd be...
Is it as quiet down there as it is here now, or is it always quiet in the Crimson Horizon?
The bottom of the skies is all I talk about? Well, it's always something I dreamed of as a kid.
I'd like to go there with you someday if you're up for it.
I don't know how many winter holidays will come before then, but I'm sure the time will come eventually...

I wonder if snow falls at the bottom of the sky... What do you think, (Captain)?
Be nice if it did? Yeah. You're right. I think so too.
Heh-heh. You always know what to say. Makes me kinda happy.
But, man... I feel like, every winter, all I do is talk to you about the world under the clouds.
Yeah... You have a point. I guess it's just because the thing I want most is to reach the bottom of the sky.
Guess I'm still dreaming, just like a kid. I really haven't changed at all.
And thanks for never telling me I had to change... (Captain).
One day, let's travel to the bottom of the sky and swim in that huge ocean together... I'd like that a lot.

Happy holidays.
It seems that this holiday has been celebrated for a long time. I wonder when it originated?
I imagine it was much different back then.
Now all of the cultures from around the Sky Realm have mixed together to come up with what we see today. Amazing, don't you think?

It seems the holiday season is upon us once again.
I must confess I've been rather preoccupied with my research as of late, and lost track of time completely.
Heh heh... I can hear such lively voices outside. And I imagine you came here to bring me with you, yes? Let's go join the crew together.

Seasons greetings, (Captain)! Holidays only come once a year, so let's make the most of them!
Is it out of character for me to say that?
Haha, guess it shows how long I've been a member of this crew.
I've gotten used to being a reveler. I might as well act the part and be merry.
Plus, I could probably use this experience as inspiration for my research!

Happy holidays, (Captain).
This is a beautiful night. It's cold out, but the sky is clear, and I feel like I can hear the sound of the stars.
It's like my mind is hypersensitive... I might even make real progress with my research!
I must be going to my room!
Don't mind me. Everyone have a lovely evening!
Farewell!

I must apologize for dragging you along with me on this walk, (Captain).
My research hit a bit of a wall, so I needed a change of scenery to help clear my head.
I must say, however, that the holiday decorations around town are absolutely astounding.
The history of all living beings is reflected in these countless sparkling lights.
Hm? Is it... snowing? I suppose it makes sense, considering it suddenly became colder.
We should head back before we catch colds. With my head plenty cleared, I'm feeling quite optimistic about making more progress in my research!
Have a wonderful evening, (Captain)! May this be a holy night to remember!

Heh heh... I can hear such lively voices outside. And I imagine you came here to bring me with you, yes? Let's go join the crew together.

Seasons greetings, (Captain)! Holidays only come once a year, so let's make the most of them!
Is it out of character for me to say that?
Haha, guess it shows how long I've been a member of this crew.
I've gotten used to being a reveler. I might as well act the part and be merry.
Plus, I could probably use this experience as inspiration for my research!

Happy holidays, (Captain).
This is a beautiful night. It's cold out, but the sky is clear, and I feel like I can hear the sound of the stars.
It's like my mind is hypersensitive... I might even make real progress with my research!
I must be going to my room!
Don't mind me. Everyone have a lovely evening!
Farewell!

I must apologize for dragging you along with me on this walk, (Captain).
My research hit a bit of a wall, so I needed a change of scenery to help clear my head.
I must say, however, that the holiday decorations around town are absolutely astounding.
The history of all living beings is reflected in these countless sparkling lights.
Hm? Is it... snowing? I suppose it makes sense, considering it suddenly became colder.
We should head back before we catch colds. With my head plenty cleared, I'm feeling quite optimistic about making more progress in my research!
Have a wonderful evening, (Captain)! May this be a holy night to remember!

Joy (Event)

(Captain), is it New Year's already? The town looks so shiny!
Joy hasn't done Joya's job yet! Oh no! Oh no! Joy wasn't paying attention and missed New Year's!
Meep... Is there still time to do Joya's job?
What? Today is a different holiday?
Not New Year's yet, but we still have parties?
Then Joy wants to party too! Happy Different Holiday, (Captain)!

(Captain)! Happy holidays!
Joy is wondering! Why do people celebrate the holy night?
Because it is a day to show appreciation? For friends and family?
Joy has learned. Holy night! A day for friends and family!
Joy is happy to be with (Captain)! Thank you! Happy holidays!

Joy helped prepare for the party today!
It was hard carrying so many chairs...
But a lot of chairs means a lot of people are coming tonight, right?
That makes Joy happy!
Joy is glad to be able to spend time with people Joy cares about!
Happy winter season! We can all be happy together!

It's snowing, (Captain)! Joy found pretty snowflakes—take a look!
Huh? Where are they? Joy was holding them until just now!
Joy's snowflakes... melted?
Understood. That is a shame.
Choose: Joy, look!
Oh? What is it?
Wow! You have so many snowflakes, (Captain)!
Joy understands now. Even if they melt, just find new snowflakes!
Joy will find even prettier snowflakes this time! Just you wait!

Look, (Captain), look!
Lots of snowflakes falling this year too!
(Captain) nods, enjoying the snowy landscape with Joy.
The snow is super, duper pretty!
These are Joy's footprints! Are those (Captain)'s footprints?
And those? Footprints from the town's children?
So many different shapes and sizes! Lots to see! Joy loves it!

Juliet

Hm? Do I have any holiday memories? Let's see now. Oh, I remember one!
This is embarrassing, but when I was little, I was afraid of the dark, and I couldn't fall sleep alone.
So my father got me a teddy bear, and after that I felt safe enough to doze off.
If you ever have trouble sleeping, please don't hesitate to come by and borrow my teddy bear, okay?
Its name is Beary Sleepy, and it's so adorable!

Come take a look at this, (Captain)! I've received these winter greeting cards from the children in town!
So adorable. It just warms my heart to see their holiday spirit.
Oh? You've also prepared a greeting card for me? How kind of you!
Hee hee, I can feel the warmth of your kindness from your card too, (Captain). I'll hang it up with the others.
Are you available tonight? If you have some time, stop by and I'll make you a holiday supper.

During the winter, the whole town seems to sparkle. It's livelier than ever.
See? Look around. The kids are decorating the trees on the corner.
They look like they're having so much fun.
I know! I'll put a tree in the entrance of my home.
Then I'll have everyone in town come to see it. And they can decorate it with whatever they like.
Don't you think that would be fun?
Since that's settled, let's start the search for a tree.
I hope we're able to find one big enough for everyone to really have fun decorating.

In previous years, I put up a tree in front of my home and anyone in the city could decorate it however they liked.
Based on all the positive feedback I received, I put up another tree again this year.
Unlike before, however, I've prepared my own ornaments this time around.
Take a look at this! It's an applique of an animal, O holy night edition!
See how it's wearing a Santa hat and reindeer antlers? Heehee, isn't it so cute?
If you know a child that would like to have it, I'll happily give it to them after the holidays are over!

Did you know, (Captain)?
Last year on the holy night, Count Paris arranged for Verona's town plaza to be decorated with candles...
In hopes that the holy night could be a peaceful one, alleviating our sadness if only just a little.
The beautiful lights in the plaza that night glowed with such kindness... I could feel the light slowly warming my heart.
That's why, this year, I also decided to distribute candles to everyone.
All of these candles have the power of the guardian spirit in them. They should provide protection to all when lit.
If you'd like, (Captain), please feel free to light one of these candles on the ship as well!

Juliet (Water)

Is that a hymn coming from the church?
Haha, it reminds me of the day I got married to Romeo.
Count Paris, Rosalind, and you came by to wish us a happily ever after...
Just knowing that there were people wanting me and Romeo to be happy filled me with such warmth.
It's as if you brought spring to our long, bleak winter...
As chilly as it is tonight, the thought that spring is only weeks away makes this wintry weather feel that much more precious.

Oh, (Captain)! You came all the way here to give your holiday greetings on this special night?
Thank you very much. But I'm really sorry—I'm afraid Romeo's sleeping at the moment.
He was sitting near the fireplace devising the plot for a new play earlier, and it must have tired him out.
He was writing at his desk until quite late yesterday as well, so I think I'll let him sleep for now.
Today, I'll prepare a feast for you in Romeo's place. I saw a note with a recipe on it, so if you'd like, I can...
Hm? Is that the smell of... something burning?
Oh no! I'd forgotten that I was in the middle of cooking some meat! I'll go turn off the stove right now.
Oh dear... I hope it hasn't been burnt to a crisp...

Whew... That should be all for the ingredients on the shopping list.
I'm sorry. You came all the way to visit, but ended up spending your time carrying all these things for me...
Since I burnt the dish last year, I wanted to make up for my blunder this year.
Although, Romeo ate all of the meat last time even though it was burnt, saying it was delicious...
I want to make something that actually tastes good for Romeo! The holy night is a special occasion, after all.
There's no need to worry. I've run many cooking simulations in my head while reading the recipe book.
I'm sure it'll be just fine! I hope you'll look forward to my cooking too, (Captain).

Thank you for coming, (Captain)!
Hehe, I'm sorry, I've been feeling a bit overexcited ever since this morning.
To tell you the truth, it's because Romeo suggested that we cook our holy night dinner together this year.
I usually make them myself, and he always enjoys them, but he said he wanted to take this chance to make one alongside me.
"We are married, after all" he said, hehe...
I like to do things for Romeo, but being husband and wife isn't about one person just doing things for the other.
Once again, Romeo has opened my eyes to something important.... Which brings us to you, (Captain).
You are a very precious friend to both Romeo and me.
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to host you at our home again this year!

Juri

Leave the decorations to me!
I learned all about the logistics of cutting down and shipping trees when I was in the military!

Ah, looks like more empty plates! I need to keep the food coming. Oh, (Captain)!
Yes, I know I should be relaxing instead of running around, but...
Haha, well, when I was in the military, it was my responsibility to do all the menial tasks at banquets. Not that I wanted to...
Okay, I'm going to take your suggestion and rest for a change. Thank you.
By the way, (Captain), can I get you any—Oops, there I go again.
Haha. I don't think I'll ever be able to rid myself of my commanding officers' influences.

Happy holidays, (Captain)! Today I'll be lending my expertise in the kitchen too.
What, you didn't think I could cook?
Back in the military, we each took turns preparing meals for the unit. I wouldn't say I was the best or anything, but they ate what I served at least.
Out in the field, a hearty meal is imperative for maintaining morale. That was another lesson I took to heart.
Hmm... Are you trying to sneak in bites before dinner?
Haha, I won't stop you.

Hrrgh! Argh!
Juri lugs around a heavy box.
Ngh! This sure is heavy... I could use a break.
Ah, (Captain)! Happy holidays!
Choose: What's up?
Erm... I thought I'd get this ready for tonight's gift exchange.
I have some of my favorite books in here. Mostly revolving around tales about knights...
I had trouble singling it down to just one, so I brought a whole box of them.
Ah, that's right! I should give you one too, (Captain)!
Juri opens up the box and begins looking over its contents.
I wonder which one you'd like best... This one's a classic knight-in-shining-armor-saves-the-princess story.
But it's got a unique twist on things. Despite being a knight, the protagonist isn't too great with a sword. It's full of thrills, and...
(Captain) simply listens with a smile.

Rrgh. Permission to speak, (Captain). It seems our forces are at a disadvantage.
We've been forced to retreat past the main snow fortress. Katalina and Farrah are fearsome warriors!
However, I've managed to restock on ammunition! If we go on the offensive, we may still be able to turn the tide in our favor.
Now, fill your pouch with these snowballs! Dodge through the enemy barrage, then take out the hostiles one by one!
What? You didn't think I'd be so... into the snowball fight?
Haha. It's an old habit from my time in the imperial army. During the holiday season, whenever snow piled up, we'd set up huge mock battles.
Well then, (Captain)! Leave the vanguard to me! Charge!

(Captain), I hear that we'll be exchanging gifts tonight...
I would like to ask you what you want...
I can offer you treasure, status, fame, or longevity. Are you interested?
Your only wish is to see me smile?
Hehe, you truly are selfless...
In that case, allow me to stay by your side tonight and show you my smile.

Oh, please...
Holiday gift-giving is a scam created by merchants to peddle their wares.
But if you knew that, of course it wouldn't be any fun...
Hey, what are you doing! Don't just open my bag without asking!
Ah, too late. All right then, here's your present.
Thanks for always bein' there. Just take your present and go. Happy holidays!

Are you joking? You wanna invite me to a party at this time of year?
Listen here! The holiday season is a busy time for us merchants. We're makin' last minute deals and closin' the books!
Good golly! Don't make that face at me!
Aw, when you're pleadin' with those eyes, I just can't...
Ah, fine. You win... You're makin' me feel guilty when I haven't done anything...

Heh-heh! Happy holidays, (Captain)!
I'm lookin' chipper, y'say?
Well, can't say that I ain't! People're buyin' all sorts of things for gift givin'.
Heh-heh! Made a pretty profit this season!
By the way... I uhh... I might be free tomorrow night...
So what? So what?! I'll tell ya what! You know how busy merchants are 'round this time!
But this year I tried as hard as a horse to keep tomorrow night free...
And why d'you reckon I did that? Go ahead. Guess.
...
Humph. Forget it. Cap'n numbskull...

Happy holidays, (Captain)!
Hey, dontcha think Santa Claus is awesome?
He gives out all those presents to kids, and he does it for free. Free! How's he bankroll that kinda venture?
He must be rollin' in rupies. Man... I wanna be that rich someday.
Oh! Light bulb!
If I can get him to take me on as an apprentice, I can learn all his entrepreneurial tricks!
Hehehe... How's that for a killer business plan!
No time to waste! Gotta go find this fella if I'm gonna strike a deal!

Hey. How much d'ya think Santa's sleigh costs?
If I could get my hands on one of those, I'd be able to go anywhere in a jiffy. That sleigh's a real gem—the stuff merchants drool over!
Ya know what? I've got it! Lemme see if I can't get Santa to barter it to me.
Heheheh... Lemme show ya just how good of a merchant I am.
Hey! If all goes well, I wouldn't mind takin' you out for a spin, (Captain). So you just sit tight and wait, ya hear?

Happy holidays!
So let me get this straight... Santa will bring me anything I want, right?
Even if it's a map to a treasure? Located in an impenetrable ruin? Filled with deadly traps? He'll really bring it?
Ooh, I can't wait!

Hey, (Captain)! Happy holidays!
You wanna know what I'm up to? I'm deckin' the halls with traps instead of holly.
Come on! Ha-ha-ha. Santa's gotta be bored just handin' out presents, right?
So how about a little present for him? I thought I'd give him his just desserts. Know what I mean?
Heheh! Of course they aren't bear traps! They're only enough to make him jump.
The finishing touch is a trick thank-you note... Heheheh! It's the perfect season to show off my trap expertise!

Heh-heh-heh! I'm thinkin' I should set a trap for Santa again this year!
Huh? That's a bad idea, you say? Well, last year he didn't make it past the trap to the trick thank-you note after all...
But Santa's just gotta be lookin' forward to a trap again this year, I think!
Second time's the charm, right?
All righty! I'd better go get that trick thank-you note ready for this year too!

Hmm, what to do...
Oh! Hiya, (Captain). I was just thinkin' of what kind of trap I should set for Santa this year.
I'm guessin' my thank-you letter from last year didn't reach him.
So I thought I'd make things a lil' easy for me this time around.
But I can't make it too easy for myself. Don't wanna lose the thrill, after all!
Hmm... I'm really stumped here.
Well, (Captain)? You got any riveting ideas?
Come on, I know you've got something good!
I'll give you a real thrill as a present in exchange!
So let's hear what you've got!

(Captain)! You gotta see this!
So, uh... I was trying to lay out another trap for Santa. But I fell asleep when I was only half-way done.
Then, when I woke up, there it was—right by my pillow! A present!
Look at how aged it is, how faded the lines! This is 100%, no doubt, a treasure map, right?
I'm sure Santa means it as some kind of message. "Use this, and work on your traps some more."
Thank you, Santa! Before this time next year, I'm gonna have built the best trap ever!

Season's greetings!
Tonight I'll be serving a cake I baked all by myself! Hey wait, where are you going!

Ugh, I'm exhausted. Huh? Oh, hello, (Captain).
I was thinking of baking a nice cake and giving some to everyone.
And when I said I was going to cook something nice for dinner, they all hurriedly dragged me out of the kitchen.
I wonder why they did that...
Oh, did you want my help with something? Okay, I'll lend you a hand.
It's too bad about the cake, but it gives us something to look forward to next year.

(Captain), perfect timing! I need your help! On my signal we're going to smash through the kitchen doors!
Every single year others cook while I don't even lift a hand—and that's inexcusable.
I conjecture that Farrah and Vira are simply looking out for me.
And as their superior officer, I can't bring myself to ask them for their assistance in baking a cake.
So this year I'll break into the kitchen and spearhead a cake-baking operation.
It is my duty as someone they look up to. Don't you agree, (Captain)?
Now, let's head for the kitchen... Remember, when I give the signal—
Huh? (Captain), where did you go? You completely disappeared...

Season's greetings, (Captain)!
Have you seen the tree yet? Lyria decorated it with Vyrn.
He flew up and put the star on the top for us.
He looked so proud... Hehe, it was adorable.
Lyria would ask me if each ornament she put together looked pretty.
She worked diligently, but she still enjoyed every second of it.
In fact, I baked them some cookies for all their hard work.
See? They're shaped liked stars. I'm pretty confident in my own recipe, but would you try a bite for me?

Hehe, I see you're excited for the holiday party.
Everyone else is as well. Actually, the kitchens are so full right now I can't even squeeze in.
I expected as much, so I went ahead and baked a cake last night.
The only step left is to prepare it for serving... I'm sorry to ask, but could you help me with that?
It ended up bigger than I thought it would. In fact, it's been continually expanding since last night.
Of course, I'll pay you back with the cookies I baked.
Very good. This cake will be sure to surprise and stun everyone once we're done with it!

Have you seen the tree yet? Lyria decorated it with Vyrn.
He flew up and put the star on the top for us.
He looked so proud... Hehe, it was adorable.
Lyria would ask me if each ornament she put together looked pretty.
She worked diligently, but she still enjoyed every second of it.
In fact, I baked them some cookies for all their hard work.
See? They're shaped liked stars. I'm pretty confident in my own recipe, but would you try a bite for me?

Hehe, I see you're excited for the holiday party.
Everyone else is as well. Actually, the kitchens are so full right now I can't even squeeze in.
I expected as much, so I went ahead and baked a cake last night.
The only step left is to prepare it for serving... I'm sorry to ask, but could you help me with that?
It ended up bigger than I thought it would. In fact, it's been continually expanding since last night.
Of course, I'll pay you back with the cookies I baked.
Very good. This cake will be sure to surprise and stun everyone once we're done with it!

Season's greetings!
Tonight I'll be serving a cake I baked all by myself! Hey wait, where are you going!

Ugh, I'm exhausted. Huh? Oh, hello, (Captain).
I was thinking of baking a nice cake and giving some to everyone.
And when I said I was going to cook something nice for dinner, they all hurriedly dragged me out of the kitchen.
I wonder why they did that...
Oh, did you want my help with something? Okay, I'll lend you a hand.
It's too bad about the cake, but it gives us something to look forward to next year.

(Captain), perfect timing! I need your help! On my signal we're going to smash through the kitchen doors!
Every single year others cook while I don't even lift a hand—and that's inexcusable.
I conjecture that Farrah and Vira are simply looking out for me.
And as their superior officer, I can't bring myself to ask them for their assistance in baking a cake.
So this year I'll break into the kitchen and spearhead a cake-baking operation.
It is my duty as someone they look up to. Don't you agree, (Captain)?
Now, let's head for the kitchen... Remember, when I give the signal—
Huh? (Captain), where did you go? You completely disappeared...

Season's greetings, (Captain)!

Tonight is the main event!
See here, (Captain), wipe that blank look off your face.
How long have we been practicing this carol for? Are you nervous?
Music is an essential component to an enjoyable evening. You don't have to be good as long as you have heart.
My baton shall take command of this holy night!

At long last, the holidays have come! Are you ready for the main event, (Captain)?
A bunch of us got together and practiced singing carols just for today.
Though we all come from different walks of life, everyone's being a lot more cooperative about it this year.
It goes to show how much respect we have for you, (Captain).
Hm? You believe it's because they trust me?
Hm, an interesting take.
It would be quite a blessing if indeed true.

It's wonderful to have a performance the eve of the holy night—especially one that has improved in quality since last year's.
Hahaha, your caroling was magnificent, (Captain). Your voice stood out amongst the choir.
Now then... I believe it is time for me to retire for the evening.
Hm? I suppose it is a bit early to sleep.
But I have plans for the early morning. Other musically inclined crew members are going to help me wake Haase with a performance.
After all, there can be no greater present than waking to a beautiful melody.
This is meant to be a surprise, which is why I've asked everyone to keep it a secret.
Yes... I can picture it now... Haase startling awake and breaking out into a smile!
I hope you understand why I must take my leave now.
But wait... What if I went to wake you after Haase?
Hahaha! No need to be shy! I would be more than happy to bestow this early morning present upon you too!

(Captain): ...
Katzelia: Let us begin, Demon Cat. One, two, three, four!
Judgement: ...!
The sudden booming noise startles (Captain) wide awake.
Katzelia: (Captain), what did you think?
I was struggling with creating a new sound for our holy night performance today...
But now I've finally found what I was looking for!
I wished for you to be the first to hear it, which is why I rushed over immediately! My apologies for waking you!
I hope you enjoy our performance later!
Well then, I shall take my leave here. There's still plenty of time to sleep, so get some rest!
Have a wonderful holy night!

Katzelia: The atmosphere of the holy night is most certainly profound. The people's happiness and excitement are palpable...
Although I do enjoy these feelings I'm sensing from strangers on the street, the familiar faces of the crew are also comforting.
This sort of environment stimulates my music composition, and a delightful melody unconsciously comes to mind.
With the high spirits of the holidays, everyone is sure to be able to feel music to an even deeper extent.
So with that, (Captain), let your voice decorate this festive winter night!
It's time to show the fruit of your training! You can leave the accompaniment to me!
Come, Demon Cat!
Judgement: ...!
Now, (Captain)! Follow my direction and sing!

It's that time of the year again! And what better way is there to spend winter's longest night than around a table with the people you love?
Ha-ha! But then again, maybe the little ones are more interested in the presents from Santa.
I know I was always excited about him paying a visit when I was little!
Of course I didn't actually meet the man himself until after I grew up...
He's quite a friendly guy, and chatting with him while I helped him deliver presents was such a hoot!
Ha-ha! Selfira has grown up enough to start doubting the existence of the big guy...
But that's a huge mistake! All you have to do is open your ears, and I'm sure you'll hear him laughing tonight!

Hm? What are you looking for, (Captain)?
Oh! So you're looking for a broom and a mop! I've hidden those.
Dahahaha. On the holiest night, the fairies use a mop and broom to soar through the skies and make mischief.
So to stop them, I hid the mop and broom in a certain place.
Dahahaha! Do you think I'm talking about some urban myth? I've had my run in with them...
Listen here! During the minstrel crew's feast on the holy night, all the food disappeared into thin air.
Everyone was so sad that now we take precautions. We don't leave the mop and broom out. No...
Dahahaha! Whether or not you believe me is up to you!

Tis the season, (Captain)!
Speaking of seasons, it's quite frosty out there. It may even snow soon, methinks!
By the way, (Captain), have you heard of this?
On the most silent of winter nights, one may see a dancer in the snow by chance.
They say that those who catch a glimpse of the dancer are destined for a life-changing encounter!
Dahahaha! You know, I've actually seen her once myself long ago... I say, It was a most mezmerizing dance.
And you know what? It was the night before I first joined the order of minstrels as a guardian. True story!
Oh?
Dahaha! It really has started snowing! Perhaps another fateful encounter awaits us tonight, (Captain)!
You wish to see the dancer in the snow as well, don't you?
Come come! Together now, let us depart on a search of our own!

Tonight's a festive night, isn't it? If you want to disembark the ship, best to do so in a jiffy.
You see, wicked fairies riding mops and snow-drawn dancers will soon appear to greet Santa Claus as he flies through the night.
Who knows what kind of lively encounters you might have! Keep your wits about you.
Dahaha, you might think I'm pulling your leg, but there's wisdom in my tale.
The year end is the time when work begins to get out of hand—precisely the environment where accidents occur!
And not just that, but one accident when you're out skyfaring could be enough to cause irreversible consequences.
Therefore it's in your best interest to slow down and lead your ship with care!
I guarantee Santa Claus is guiding his reindeer with aplomb, so let's follow his example as we glide through the winter!

It's that time of year again! Santa Claus must be in his sleigh now, spreading good cheer across the skies.
He and his elves have been very busy all year, preparing for this one night.
I'd imagine Santa is feeling quite nervous right now.
What if, when all the good little children open their gifts in the morning, there are some left disappointed? It'd be very discouraging to Santa.
And we mustn't forget the children on Santa's naughty list... I'm sure it saddens him when he must simply fly past their houses.
Now, (Captain)! Hurry along to bed. One is never too old for presents.
And if, tomorrow, you do happen to unwrap a gift that puts a smile on your face, I believe it'll make Santa feel like his work truly is worthwhile.
Oh, you must forgive me for treating you like a child. I am quite an old man, after all.

(Captain)! Something was brought to my attention.
Is it true that the crew holds an annual banquet on the night of wintery eve?
I also heard that crew members who are cooking-inclined prepare scrumptious dishes and cakes.
Golly, you sure are a generous leader, (Captain).
Oh, this won't do. I'm drooling again at the mere thought...
Very well! I shall put myself at your disposal!
One who doesn't work shall not get to eat!

Pant, almost there... Pant, pant...
Ah, good morning, (Captain)!
Yes, this is what it looks like. A lot of food arrived earlier, so I'm carrying it to the mess hall.
Oh, you've already forgotten? You should try to shake off that sleep haze a little quicker.
Tonight is the annual winter banquet, eagerly awaited by everyone in your crew.
Hehe. And this year I've actually enlisted myself to help prepare the food.
I shall make a stew so delicious that your cheeks will plump like the most well fed rodent getting ready for winter!

(Captain), (Captain)! What is that warm twinkling over there?
Ah... So those are the "illuminations" I've heard so much about.
Looking at those lights, I'm reminded of the bright, cheery dinners I shared with my mother and father..
Wouldn't it be nice if we could have illuminations year-round?
Oh! That would be my stomach clamoring for food.
I think I'll go whip up some stew. (Captain), you wouldn't care to join me for a cheery dinner, would you?

My, my. What are you doing, stargazing on a chilly night like this?
Or is it not the stars you're scanning for, but Santa Claus?
Every year, he leaves a present by my pillow, then slips off before I'm any the wiser.
But I've always thought I'd like to properly thank him.
That's why tonight is the night! I'm going to forego sleep and tell that Santa just how grateful I am!
...
Yawn...
I'm just going to rest my eyes for a bit... But never you worry—I won't be falling asleep.
Zzz...
(Captain) drapes a coat over Kolulu's shoulders and brushes a strand of hair from her sleeping face.

(Captain)! The o-o-other day, I sent out a letter to Santa Claus, inviting him to join our holiday banquet...
Lo and behold, I was blessed with a response! Golly!
At long last, I'll finally be able to express my endless gratitude to the legend himself!
(Captain), do you happen to know of Santa Claus's preferred food and drink?
I have been mulling over whether stew and fried chicken would be suitable fare.
But there must be more I can prepare...
Please, (Captain), if you may be so kind to grace me with your knowledge, it would be much appreciated!

Happy holidays, Captain! Are we going to have a party?
If we are, you need put on something nice to fit the occasion! That means something besides your everyday duds!
It's not just how you look on the outside. What you wear defines who you are. It can even change your personality.
Come on, if you're going to have fun tonight, then you need to get changed. I'll pick the outfit, okay?

Happy holidays, (Captain)! So... what can you tell me about your outfit?
Bah! How many times do I have to tell you you're supposed to dress for the occasion?
Can't let our hard work go to waste now! You'll want to really get out there and strut your stuff!
Okay, stand in front of the mirror! I'll pick a nice one out for you! Consider it a holiday gift from me!
Ooh, there's not much time until the party! I can't wait to get you all suited up!

Aah. (Captain), isn't that outfit something I picked out for you a while back?
You like it that much, huh? Puts a smile on my lips. Yeah, you're all ready to rock out at tonight's party!
But no.
Why, you ask? This holiday dinner is not a repeat of last year's. Think of them as one-shot events.
That goes for anything in life. It's your loss if you don't approach everything with a fresh mind-set and a fresh outfit!
Got it? Good. Now follow me to my room.
Even if it's the same outfit, you can coordinate the parts differently to achieve a different feel. This is as good a chance as any to show you.
Also you might as well use this chance to look in the mirror and take note of just how attractive you are.

Heeey, what's up, (Captain)?
You want me to help you with your banquet outfit?
...!
(Captain)! Do you understand! What a great honor! It would be! Absolutely! Oh, this is the best present ever!
Of course I'll help you! But I can't decide everything on my own.
Tell me if you've got a favorite color or fabric, or a favorite accessory. We'll base your outfit off of those!
You've gotta wear what you wanna wear, after all! Fashion is an expression of the self.
Once we've decided on the basics, I'll handle the rest.
Now, stand in front of the mirror. Stand up straight and look forward. Imagine yourself looking your best.
Do you see it? The new you is already brighter than any starlit tree!

Hey there, Captain. You've been staring at that snood for a while now. You're in luck, because I'm gonna buy it for you!
Haha, think of it as a holiday gift. Hm? You don't want it because it looks scratchy and too grown-up?
Good! That's why I have to get it for you now. You don't give up on a piece just because it doesn't start off perfect.
You complement its flaws in some way, like with cosmetics or accessories. You can even change your body itself by losing weight or bulking up.
Sure it requires a bit of effort on your part, but you'll end up feeling better about yourself.
When you look good, you feel good. And above all, that feeling of success is what'll stick with you the most.
Winning the little battles does wonders for your confidence. You'll be thanking your experiences when the time comes to take center stage.
Ahaha, what doesn't kill you will make you look more stylish. So get out there and be the best you can be!

Hm... What should I do? Who else can I invite?
Oh, (Captain)! Happy holidays!
Perfect timing. I was just throwing together a party. Wanna come?
I've asked Lowain and his bros, the class president, and some other friends. The more the merrier, right?
If you're busy, you can just pop in for a second. Everyone'll be glad to see you!
Really? Great, then follow me to fun!
This night comes but once a year, after all. Let's let loose while the letting's good!

Whoo-hoo! This dazzling candle is the perfect topper for this magnificently decorated tree!
Aaand it's up! Now there's a picture-perfect scene at any angle, wouldn't you agree?
Awesome. Since the decorations are up and everything, it's time to get down at tonight's party!
I love me some lights, candy canes, and wreaths, but the real magic of the season takes place at the table with all my friends!
Heehee, you didn't think you'd be sitting this one out, did you, (Captain)? Come on, let's go!

Hehe, nothing beats a walk through town to get into a festive mood!
Why? Because of the lights? Oh, yeah, we chatted about that before, didn't we?
But it's not just the lights. Listen. Use your ears.
You hear all those happy voices—people chatting and laughing everywhere?
There's nothing like being surrounded by holiday cheer to make you cheerful too!
Now come on, we should get this shopping over with and have some fun too!
The most eye-catching cake out there is gonna be ours!

There you are, (Captain)! I picked up our chicken dinner!
I also brought my gift for our Secret Santa exchange!
Hehe, you know, I practically jumped for joy when you first suggested we do this.
It's like you've gone from just a customer to a friend who's willing to party with me.
We're practically besties now, so if you've got any more great ideas, feel free to share!
I can't wait to sing with everyone as we pass the presents around...
And when the music stops, I wonder who'll receive the Santa style clothes I worked so hard on...
Ah, right, the presents are supposed to be a secret. Forget you heard anything!

Enjoying yourself, (Captain)? Ah, you must be giving your tummy a rest after all that food.
Though I sure didn't expect the class president to hunt down such a large bird...
Then again, I probably should've expected this when she said she'd give it her all...
At first, I thought she meant she'd pick out a nice one from the grocer. Little did I know she'd shoot a bird down herself...
Phew... It feels kinda hot in here after filling myself up. Let's go outside for some fresh air.
Wow, look at all the snow... This sort of pretty scenery makes the holidays that much better!
I bet there are couples on the street corners bashfully holding hands for the first time as they watch the snow fall...
Hm, I feel like going out to town to check out all the sparkly decorations...
Oh, don't worry! I wouldn't leave the party behind just to do that!
But since we're already out here... why don't we call everyone else out for a snowball fight!
A bit of exercise before the holiday cake never hurt anyone!

Look, (Captain), look! There was a present waiting for me by my pillow!
Is this the work of that Santa Claus everyone's been telling me about?
I didn't sense even a whisper of a presence all night... This Santa Claus must be one incredible martial artist to move so stealthily...
Hehe... Analysis aside, I really am terribly happy.
Someday I'll discover who this Santa Claus really is, so I can thank him properly.

Oh, (Captain). I'm almost done decorating for the party.
Last year was my first time going to a celebration on the holy night...
It's kind of nice sitting with everyone at the table and eating together, isn't it? Almost like we're one big family.
I decided to help out with the decorations so we can have another nice celebration this year! Take your time to look around later, okay?

(Captain), would you like to make an igloo together?
I was thinking we could change things up this year and have our winter celebration inside an igloo instead.
Yes, of course I'll invite Yuel, Societte, and You. It'll be a lively party—
Huh? You want... to try celebrating with just the two of us?
O-oh...
Ahaha, of course I'm not against the idea. Quite the opposite, actually... Heheh.
Let's keep this a secret from everyone, okay?

(Captain), it's snowing. Aren't you cold?
If you want, you could use my tail to keep warm.
It's not as fluffy as Yuel's or Societte's, but it should be enough to keep you comfortable.
If you want, you could use it to keep you warm while you sleep too.
Hehe, did I get you?
I-I mean, I guess it's not like it'd be the first time or anything... Ahaha...
I don't mind, (Captain). Not if it's you, at least. Hehe.
I'm already blessed enough to have spent another year together with you. Happy holidays, (Captain).

You know about Santa Claus, right?
I did a bit of sneaking around, and...
I found out that Yuel and Societte prepared presents for You, Sui, and me!
Wouldn't this mean Santa is really Yuel and Societte? But they don't look anything like how he's described...
Maybe there's multiple Santas? That would explain why we get so many presents every year.
What? You think I'm still like a child at times...
Sheesh... Try to take this seriously, won't you? Or else I won't let you stay the night with me this year.
Just kidding. I've still got questions, but I'd rather spend the holy night having fun with you.
Happy holidays, (Captain).

Season's greetings.
Ha-ha-ha. They say that this season is magical. Are you sure you want to spend the holidays with a guy like me?
Heheh... I'm glad. Now let's make the most of it!

Ha-ha-ha. I made a present for you.
As it's my specialty, you can guess what it is, but I hope you'll like it.
I made six in all though, so you'll have to roll the dice and see which one you get.
Heheh. Go on and give them a roll!

(Captain), would it make you smile if I baked a cake for you?
Ha-ha-ha. That's nice of you to think that I might look good in an apron!
The truth is that I watched Katalina bake a cake and decided to give it a try myself...
What's with that suspicious look? I can imitate anything after seeing it only once.
You knew that already? Then you should know that my cake is a perfect reproduction of Katalina's unique—
Well, I didn't expect you to run away... Ha-ha-ha. I guess I'll see if Vyrn is interested in having a slice...

(Captain), good timing.
How would you like some cake from me?
Hey, I know I'm not exactly the best patissier around, but can you at least pretend to not be so taken aback?
Haha, just kidding.
The only reason you ran away last year was because I tried to replicate Katalina's cake.
But this year, I tried imitating a few other flavors instead.
Hm, why six, you ask?
Hahaha. Don't you already know?
Anyhow why don't you try rolling this die?
Just be aware that it can land on a critical or fumble as well.

Ahh, if it isn't (Captain)... Happy holidays. I'm just resting for a bit.
Say, do you remember the cake I gave you last year? There were six flavors; you rolled a die and let luck choose for you.
Well, it seems the story of our little game has spread throughout the ship. Thanks to a certain captain.
Thus, this year, children are lined up at my door, begging for cake dice.
Heh-heh. How do you plan to make this up to me?
The whole situation was bothersome, but I found myself slightly—well, greatly enjoying myself. I'm not upset.
Also, I've saved some dice for you, so come begging at my door whenever you wish. I'll be waiting.

Kumbhira

Kumbhira: (Captain), welcome back. And happy holidays. Where were ya?
Just buying some stuff for tonight's feast? I see. Glad you're back.
Was it cold outside? Here, my little piglets will help warm you up.
Piglets: Squee!
Kumbhira: Hehe. Sit beside me so they can warm us both up.

Ah, (Captain)... The holiday party sure is lively. Are you enjoying yourself?
Huh? You called out to me because you saw me all alone in the corner over here?
Ahaha... Sorry if I made you worry.
To be honest, I'm feeling a bit anxious right now...
We have the entire crew gathered here, but there's there so many people I've never spoken to. It might be too lively for me...
Eep! (Captain)? What are you suddenly grabbing my hand for?
We're going to leave the party to take it easy in your room?
But if you're not here, the party—
With a smile, (Captain) puts a finger to Kumbhira's lips before leading her to the exit.
(Oh, what do I do... I really don't want to stand out...)
(Please don't come out now, Hamward!)

Wow... These are all ornaments for the tree?
Candies, socks, ribbons, sparkling orbs... Everything's so pretty, I don't know what to choose.
We had a tree in my village, but we hung amulets and paper strips instead.
Ahaha... I'm starting to think we had the wrong idea.
Oh, but we at least put a proper star on top.
My brothers and sisters always fought over who got to do it, so I've never actually done it myself...
What? You'll let me be the one to place the star?
Hehe... I appreciate it, but isn't it a big responsibility? Kind of makes me nervous...
Oh! How about we do it together? That way I can relax a little bit.
Would that be all right?

Wow, I didn't realize it was snowing outside! What a beautiful winter wonderland.
Brr... It's romantic and all, but really cold out here... At this rate, we might freeze before we make it back to the Grandcypher.
Oh, the tip of your nose is getting red, (Captain). Just like a reindeer, hehe. Cute.
Huh? Mine's getting red too? Ahaha... Guess we'll just have to hog the fireplace when we get back.
Hehe. It really is chilly today...
But it's strange how even though it's so cold outside, when we're together like this, my heart feels really warm.
And it's not just with anyone... I only feel this way when I'm with you, (Captain).
Huh? Even my cheeks are red now? Y-you don't have to say it out loud! It's so embarrassing...

Phew... That should just about do it for cleanup.
Some party, huh? It was so lively up until just a moment ago... and now it's just the two of us. It feels a little strange, doesn't it?
Choose: Here... This is for you.
(Captain) presents Kumbhira with a neatly-wrapped gift box.
Huh? Is this... for me?
Choose: Just a little token of appreciation.
Thank you so much! I actually have something for you too, (Captain).
I, um, knit you a scarf. The craftsmanship might be a bit shoddy, but it should still keep you warm!
Still, what a coincidence that we'd both exchange gifts with each other at the same time, huh?
Hehe... I guess some feelings just transcend words, huh? Thanks again, (Captain).

It's the most wonderful time of the year at last!
Hee hee, you know it, don't you? That's right. I love the holiday spirit.
But then, this is the busiest time of year for gardeners like us.
It's usually super busy! We have to make sure all the plants are looking extra festive in town and across the whole island!
But this year, I only have the one tree aboard the ship to worry about.
Funny, though. I don't feel the slightest bit sad about that.
Hee hee, I wonder why that is? You have any idea, Captain?

Tis the season, (Captain)!
Now this isn't something you see everyday.
What's gotcha lookin' so excited, (Captain)?
Oh, dear... Could it be that you're excited for a certain man in red to come?
Aww, (Captain)... You're so adorable sometimes!
You've never stopped believing in him, have you?
Surely it's because you've had the gift of friends to celebrate and fill your heart with joy every year.
That's my favorite part about you, (Captain).
Hehe, oh dear... Now you've... hehe... got me all excited too!

How exciting! It's that time of the year of the again, (Captain)!
Look, look! I made a beautiful holiday wreath!
And this is a present for you. Put it around your neck.
Wow! How cute! You're all sparkly just like a holiday tree.
Ehehe... Looking at you just makes this day even better!
Even my heart shines like a star! Just kidding... Hehehe...

Happy holidays! You excited about the festivities, (Captain)?
I'm snipping some tree branches right now to use as hands for snow pals!
It's a special request from some of the kids in the crew. I guess they're really counting on me.
Ehehe, just imagining their faces light up gets me all hyped.
Here's an extra happy smile for you, (Captain)!
Just my way of spreading the joy. May you have a merry winter season, (Captain). Teehee...

Happy holidays! Are you having a happy, happy time?
I know I am! I had the chance to style up all the snowmen around this year!
Plus the garden too!
Now the snowmen are having a party in the garden!
Hehe, the holiday tree there got a cute makeover too!
How about it? Want to hop into the winter wonderland and join the fun?
You might just get a taste of a special holiday dinner if you do!

What a splendid holiday! Did Santa bring you anything nice?
Oh? You say you're not a kid anymore?
Well, allow me to give you a more suitable present then. How 'bout a smooch? Mwuah!

When I think about Santa Claus, I realize just how lacking my own love is...
On a cold winter's night, Santa brings warmth to all the good boys and girls in the skydom...
But what can I do? Nothing big or grand. There are so many I can't reach out to.
Oh dear, how could I even think about giving up now? That wouldn't be love!
It might not be glamorous, and I still have a lot to learn, but at least I have someone close by to practice on... right? Hehe!

Happy holidays, (Captain)! What are you doing in the galley?
You came to help out, you say? Why, thank you! We're really strapped for helpers right now.
We need more and more food to feed an ever growing crew.
Yes, the eaters are many, but the chefs really get to shine and showcase their home cooking.
I know eating is such a delight, but try to hold on just a bit longer.
Sorry, but could I have you saute this without letting it burn?
And don't you sneak in tastes either. That'll only spoil the fun!

How about a gingerbread cookie, (Captain)? Fresh out of the oven!
Where I'm from during the holidays, er, end of the year, we always ate gingerbread men.
It was tradition to make the cookies to contain and protect from bad omens during the holiday festivities.
It might seem a bit barbaric, but it feels so good to just crunch into their little heads.
We all made cookies back at the orphanage... I'm sure they're making them again this year as well.
Perhaps I'll make an appearance at the orphanage once the holidays have settled down a little bit—with plenty of belated presents for everyone!

La-la-la... Why, if it isn't the captain! Have you finished with your holiday shopping?
Yep, I've finished with mine as well. Now I'm writing my greeting cards!
I just have so much I want to tell everyone at the orphanage and the Jewel Resort... I might not be able to squeeze it all in!
But expressing your love in words is a very precious thing. Just like how it's important to tell someone you love them.
It might be hard to remember exactly what someone said to you before, but if it's written down, then you can read it over and over again.
Even if I can't be with the people I love when they're feeling down... maybe this card can cheer them up in those times!
Hm? You want a card from me too, (Captain)?
I'm so glad to hear that! I'm going to send you the most beautiful card and fill it with love! Teehee, look forward to it!

But expressing your love in words is a very precious thing. Just like how it's important to tell someone you love them.
It might be hard to remember exactly what someone said to you before, but if it's written down, then you can read it over and over again.
Even if I can't be with the people I love when they're feeling down... maybe this card can cheer them up in those times!
Hm? You want a card from me too, (Captain)?
I'm so glad to hear that! I'm going to send you the most beautiful card and fill it with love! Teehee, look forward to it!

Lady Grey

In my family we used to spend the holidays singing together.
How I used to love those songs...
I pray that such happy times may come again some day.

Heehee... What a beautiful night, (Captain).
Hm? Is it so strange for me to be laughing?
I'm not too fond of hymns, but the flicker of the candle flames is so lovely.
Watching its gentle movements can be so relaxing.
Teehee, don't you agree?
But I'm just glad to be able to spend this time with you, (Captain).
Happy holidays.

Hehe, can you feel it, (Captain)?
This mysterious feeling that's overcome us...
Tonight may be a night like any other, but it feels special somehow.
People in times past called it a divine power that graced the skies.
Haha, it's okay if this is all new to you.
I imagine it is purely because of my powers in necromancy that such matters are so apparent to me.
Mm-hm. Makes me sensitive to these sorts of things.
But it also makes me feel so lonely when no one can share in the sentiment.
The holiness of the night keeps my husband and child at bay, far away from my side.
(Captain), will you protect them in my stead?
At least until the holy night passes...

Haha, look, (Captain). That tree is so beautifully decorated.
I'm not very comfortable with the holy night itself, but I do like the trees.
It reminds me of better times spent with my family, decorating our tree.
My necromancy has given me something of an allergy to this evening...
But those twinkling lights do feel like they're granting me and my family their blessing, if only temporarily.
May you have a blessed night too, (Captain). Happy holidays.

Oh, (Captain). Enjoying the night so far?
Hehe, I was making a wreath with my husband and son. What do you think?
That reminds me, have you ever considered the meaning of a wreath?
The ringed shape represents eternity. It must seem so ironic for a family like mine, where the dead and living stay together...
Yet eternity is still something I wish for, even if I'm no longer worthy of it after involving myself in the dark arts...
At the very least, allow me to pray for eternal happiness for both you and my family.

Lady Katapillar and Vira

Katalina: Ahh, what a beautiful snowy night. But in this body, I can no longer feel the cold... or anything else for that matter.
Lowain: 'Sup, Kat. Pardon me for a sec.
Katalina: Wh-what are you doing, Lowain?
Why are you... hugging me?
Lowain: Feel that? That's my heart burnin' for you.
And I can feel you burnin' too. I don't care about the presents, Kat. All I want is you.
Katalina: Lowain... Oh my...
Elsam and Tomoi: It's looove!

Tomoi: Lady Katapillar's been broken and busted since Halloween.
Elsam: This is the fixer-upper story of brosome Lowain and his beloved Lady Katapillar.
Lowain: Did that sting? My b, won't take much longer now.
Just gotta unclog this clog, and...
Katapillar: Bzzzt...
Lowain: Rockin'. That should do it. Dig that tune-up, Kat!
Feel them holiday vibes. 'Cuz it's all thanks to you.
No more lonely holy nights. No sirree.
Blah, look at me actin' the fool... Guess it ain't funny. You gonna give me the cold shoulder too, Kat?
Nah, what am I sayin'.
Hehe... You're all heart.

Lowain: Mng... Yawn... Kat... Tonight's our special night...
???: Rise and shine, Lowain. Time to get up.
Lowain: ...! K-Kat!
Katalina: Haha, I'm still getting used to it. This can be a bit embarrassing...
Lowain: No way... Kat, you... recognize me?
Katalina: Your maintenance worked wonders on me. Though my physical appearance remains as is...
Lowain: Sniff... Just getting you to call my name is so... so rad...
Katalina: Lowain... I'm so sorry for leaving you all alone in this whole wide world...
Lowain: Aw, let's quit it with the apologies. All I want for the holidays... is you!
Katalina: L-Lowain!
Lowain: How 'bout that? Two lovers overcomin' all hardships to finally get together!
Elsam & Tomoi: I'm bawlin'!

Lowain: Whoa... Kat, the snow's gettin' crazy out there.
It's pilin' up like nobody's business... Even Yggy's all covered up. I guess we can give up on goin' back to the G. Cyph today.
Katalina: It was rather cloudy when I went out for a bit of shopping earlier, but I didn't expect things to get this bad...
Lowain: It's all good though. I'll make things work. Just gotta wait for the snow to take a chill pill before I can clear a path.
Katalina: You plan on doing that all by yourself? Let me help you!
Lowain: Nah, it's cool. I got this, Kat. Wouldn't want the snow to get all over your shiny body.
Katalina: Forgive me. If only my treads were built for more than just clean roads...
Lowain: You're always so sweet, Kat, so lemme be extra sweet to you today. As a man among men, I'll keep you and the roads safe.
Katalina: Lowain...
Lowain: Oh snap, what's goin' on? The snow just took a lot more than a chill pill...
It's like winter just came and went in a jiffy!
Katalina: Good morning, Lowain. What a surprise it must be for you.
Lowain: Kat! What happened?
Katalina: The warm words you showered me with last night were like the sunbeams of spring to my ears.
The happiness you filled me with turned into gasoline. I let it out from my exhaust pipes to bring spring to town.
I'm not one to be protected all the time. Despite my tanky body, there are still things I can do for you.
It's okay to rely on me a little. Together, we can overcome anything and live happily ever after.
Lowain: Kat!
Hehe... Care to warm me up tonight with some of your heat exhaust?
Katalina: Haha... Just be careful that I don't end up overheating you.
Lowain: Then we'd totally hold hands on our way back to the G. Cyph together.
Tomoi & Elsam: w00t! w00t!

Festive lights whiz by as Lowain rides through the air on Katalina's back.
Katalina: I had no idea I was equipped with the ability to fly.
Aren't you cold, Lowain? I can't feel temperature like you do since I'm a machine.
Lowain: N-not at a-all... I'm actually b-burnin' up, B-Buttercup!
Katalina: Don't try to be so macho. I can tell your body isn't geared for this. Let's touch down.
Lowain: Wait, Kat! What's more romantic than a winter's midnight rendezvous among the stars?
Just keep flyin'! I've figured out a slammin' way to keep my furnace going!
Katalina: Gasp! H-hey! Don't hug me without warning.
Lowain: Aaah... It's like I'm hugging the sun... You steaming?
Katalina: F-fine, but just for today, okay? I'll get in trouble if I return with a frozen Lowain. You'd better not get used to this!
Lowain: When your heat becomes mine, it's like we're melding together!
Katalina: S-stop being so cheesy!
Lowain: Preciate the warm gift! Smooches!
Katalina: Gasp!
For goodness sake! If you end up falling off, it's your own fault!
Lowain: And that's how we'll deliver presents as Santas!
Tomoi and Elsam: TMI!

Happy holidays.
I've heard that milk and the holidays go hand in hand.
So I went and got you a bunch of this great milk.
I was thinking we could sit here, relax, and enjoy it. You know... together.
It's just my opinion, but... I think a day like this is better spent... together. Hehe.

The festive lights in town this time of year are amazing.
You can feel the holiday spirit everywhere. I'm starting to get into a merry mood myself.
How about you, (Captain)? Ah, you too?
Haha. In that case why don't we take a stroll through town together?

This is just my take, but it feels like everyone's tired from the goings-on in their lives.
Especially you, (Captain). You're always going out of your way to help someone...
So you should spend tonight recovering from the rigors of this journey. It's a holiday, ya know. Plus it's cold outside.
Here, have some hot milk. Bottoms up.
Isn't it nice to have a quiet moment, even on days as uplifting as this one?

With the town lit up so nicely, there's no doubt that tonight is the holiest night.
What do I want for a present? Haha, thank you, but just the sentiment is enough.
But if I had to pick something, well... How about we head back and enjoy a cup of hot milk together?
You can wait with me while I prepare it.
Hehe, spending that time with you is better than any other present in the world.

Happy holidays, (Captain). The town may be bright with lights, but it sure is cold outside.
A cup of hot milk's perfect for this season. Of course I've got some prepared. It's just in my room...
Oh, you're talking about presents? As I told you last year, just the sentiment's enough...
Hm... Well, maybe I will accept it this year.
Just my off-handed opinion, but both giving and receiving presents is an important custom for this special night.
So I'm looking forward to your present, (Captain).
But before that, let's make a toast with some hot milk.

Happy holidays! Let's make this the most happenin' holiday party there ever was!
With that out of the way, it's time for a holiday toast!
Wait. You're a little young to drink, aren't ya? No worries! I made sure to get some fruit juice just in case!

Heh heh heh... A special festive night like tonight calls for some heavy duty partying!
Hrm... With a little bit of grape juice, if you know what I mean.
Hm? You wanna celebrate with me too, (Captain)?
What a great kiddo you are! Here. Drink some of this, (Captain)!
It's fine, it's fine! Just grape juice!
Now then... Three cheers to the holiday season, (Captain)!

Happy holidays! Let's get this festive party started! Drink until you get into the spirit!
Gulp, gulp, gulp...
Aaah!
Huh? Is that Santa? Good work, old man! How about a drink?
Waaait a minute... You're not Santa; you're (Captain)!
Sorry... You're in that costume, so I couldn't tell.
Wha? Even if you were Santa, I shouldn't give him the sauce?
Uh... You gotta point, (Captain). If Santa went around smelling like liquor, it might hit a little too close to home for some people.
Okay, okay. I've seen the error of my ways. Here, I'll give you some of this funky cheese as an apology.
After you hand out all the presents, come back with some juice so we can say cheers together!

...
Hm? Where'd er'body go?
Hey, (Captain)... What's the dillio?
What! The party's over?
...
I-I remember what happened! Everybody was having a good time!
We were all together... And toasted...
And then...
And then...
Um...
W-whatever! (Captain), let's get our drink on again!
It'll be part two of whatever happened last night!

(Captain)! Happy drinking days! Cheers!
Chug, chug, chug...
Ahh, that hits the spot! Something about juice on the holidays just makes it extra tasty!
But... Where is everyone else? And why is this room all messy?
Huh? This is the second party?
Wh-what? Nobody invited little ol' me to the first party? I thought we were comrades...
Huh? I downed a whole bottle by myself during the first party?
(I don't... remember this at all...)
Well, whatever! Come on, (Captain), I'll give you some juice too, so let's drink some more!

Happy... holi... daze... Oogh... My head's killin' me...
Not sure I have it in me to party with everyone right now...
Urp... I'm gonna crash in my room... I'll poke my head in again when things calm down...

Nngha... Guess I overdid it with the spirits...
You really picked a good time to show up, (Captain).
Couldja... maybe get me some water?
Blegh... M-my head's killing me.
Hm? Water? For me? Thanks... Gulp, gulp, gulp... Ahhh...
Ungh... Is this really water? It tastes kind of... sugary.

Ugh... Happy... holidays...
Ah, (Captain)... Are you enjoying the party? Pant...
Even though... I'm here... Sorry, I can't...
Hm? What're you... giving me?
Eek... Aah? C-cold snow? Feels nice...
Pant... That feels better...
Ugh... Never mind...
I'm gonna sleep in my room... When I feel better, we can exchange presents...

Huff... Huff...
Bu-urrpp!
Hap... Holid... Burp!
Huff... (Captain)? I wancha... to hab a good night...
Buh... If you stay here... Oh you'll get a wet present you really... won't want...
Wha?
Huh?
W-what... That's not what I meant... I was talking about a monster...
Bah!
There it is! Hiccup! Let ol' Lamretta... take care of it...
(Captain)... go on without me... Live... for the both of us...
I... can handle this... So hurry...
Go... Now... While I can hold it off... Run you fool...

Happy... holi... da...
Burp... (Captain)... I'm so sorry...
I was just... so happy... 'bout celebratin' alone with you. Got a bit carried away...
Bleurgh... Hey... I'm so sorry... But I gotta ask you... a favor...
Think you could... get me... a present?
Water... Please. Water... I need... water...

The winter holiday is full of temptations, wouldn't you agree?
On one side, the sweet aroma of wine and spirits is so hard to pass up!
On the other is all the yummy food and how it pairs up with bubbly...
Okay, rein it in, Lamretta. A nun mustn't disgrace herself by becoming a drunken nuisance!
One glass couldn't hurt, you say? Are you sure about that? Like, double, triple, quadruple sure?
Hehehe... Okay, I can't disobey the captain's orders...
And as captain, you'll stay here with me to make sure I don't go overboard, yeah?

Oh, (Captain)! Happy holidays!
Are you heading back to the ship? Then let's go back together!
Hm? What was I doing?
Heh heh heh. I was out shopping! And not for booze!
Since I'm gonna abstain from alcohol this holy night, I bought ingredients so I can distract myself with some cooking instead!
I got my mom to send me some of her special recipes the other day.
Oh yeah! You wanna have some of my cooking, (Captain)?
Smoked dishes, passed down in my family from generation to generation! They all go perfectly with a drink...
Wait, no! This is all about the cooking, I swear!

Lamretta and (Captain) stand in the kitchen, looking at the dish that is cooking slowly in the smoke.
Yeah... Sorry. It's the holy night and everything, and here we are cooking like it's any other night...
Maybe I should call you over when it's done.
Choose: I'm on guard duty.
Oh, right... I guess I did ask you to come...
I ended up drinking a bit while taste testing last year, and you ended up having almost nothing to eat...
Thanks so much for still agreeing to keep me company this year, (Captain). You're just so nice.
But I know you're busy, so don't worry about me and go enjoy yourself—
Wait. Sorry, (Captain)... Stay here with me.
I... can't hold back anymore. The smoked dish just looks so good... I'm drooling...

Season's greetings!
This time of year always reminds me of the times Vane and I stayed up late to try and see Santa Claus!

Ah... It's the holiday season. But I don't feel like going out with all the crowds. I guess I should tidy up my room a little...
Hm? Oh, hey there, (Captain). You want to help me clean my room? No way! I can't let you do that!
No!
I mean, it's not like I have anything to hide. It's just that you're the captain and it's your holiday break, you see...
Humph... You don't give up, do you? Fine. I'll let you help me just this once, (Captain)!
In exchange, I'll take you someplace to eat after we're done! Heheh... Now where should we go?

Today's the holiday party, huh? I remember going to those parties when I was a kid...
Heh-heh, it was so funny! Vane could never remember the words to the songs and made a mess of holiday caroling...
So I'd be sure to sing to him over and over again for practice. Ha-ha! What a great memory...
Huh? You want me to sing something now? I dunno... You can't just put me on the spot!
You really really want me to? Well, if you insist... But just a little.
Jingle bells! Jingle bells! Jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to sleigh on this jolly holiday!
A-ha-ha-ha! You're embarrassing me with all that clapping...
All right! Now it's your turn to sing for me, (Captain)... And don't try to blush your way out of it!

Happy holidays!
(Captain), did you look outside?
There's so much snow! It's a fluffy white world out there!
When I was young I would play outside by making snowmen on days like this.
Together, the body and head would be made of three big balls. The head would get a helmet which was just a bucket, and I think I even added a sword to make him look a soldier.
I'd name him after a famous warrior, and then Vane and I would salute him.
Heh heh... Those were fun times.
Huh? You want to see a warrior snowman?
As a matter of fact, I could make an even better snowman than before!
Will you help me make him especially big?
Let's surprise all the crew members!

Happy holidays!
Thanks for keeping watch out here on the deck despite it being so cold. Here, I brought you something warm to drink.
It's so cold you can even see your breath...
This reminds me of the time I patrolled the streets of Feendrache on a cold night like this before I became captain.
The cold was so brutal, I could feel it seeping into my bones...
An old lady thanked me and gave me a cup of hot tea to drink when she saw me patrolling out in the cold.
The warmth of the tea and the feeling of being depended on made me so happy. Thanks to that, I was able to keep going.
Maybe that's why I wanted to come and bring you a warm drink myself.
Since the party preparations are pretty much complete, would it be all right if I stayed and kept watch with you?
Heheh. All right then, let's stick this out together!

Lancelot (Event)

Is it visiting hours already?
Oh... It's that time of year again, huh? Heh... I suppose people everywhere are celebrating the season.
When I was a kid, I never imagined spending the holidays like this...
I wonder if Santa will pay me a visit here... I hope he will. It'd surely be nice...

Slipping inside secure places on a winter's night...
And leaving gifts for children in their stockings, only to slip out again without a trace...
Yeah... That's jolly Old Saint Nick.
When you think about it... isn't Santa Claus the ultimate escape artist?
Tonight I'll be a Santa. I planned my escape route just for this day. Yes... I'll use the chimney!
And then... I'll bring you a special gift... The gift of reunion. Just wait for me...

Zzz... Zzz...
(Captain) visits the underground dungeon where Lancelot is being held to find the young knight fast asleep, his head resting on a burlap pillow.
(Captain) moves closer to call out his name and wake him, but thinks twice after seeing the peaceful expression on his sleeping face.
(Captain) softly whispers happy holidays before carefully placing a small bundle tied with bright red ribbon next to his pillow.
Mm... No, no... It's jingle all the way... Listen...
With his eyes still closed, Lancelot mumbles as a warm smile begins to spread across his lips.
While wondering what sort of dream could make Lancelot so happy, (Captain) quietly slips out of the dungeon.

(Captain) hears the beautiful sound of a bell on the deck of the ship and heads to its source.
There (Captain) spots someone familiar. And the source of the sound is not a bell, but the rhythmically timed sound of chains clanging together.
Jingle bells! Jingle bells! Jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh! Hey!
(Captain). Happy holidays! How are you?
Why the face? Oh, you think it's odd I'm on the bow of the ship?
What about the dungeon? Well actually my body is still there. This is me in spirit. Like some sort of miracle.
Lancelot comes down from the bow and takes (Captain)'s hand.
I've never felt so alive. I feel almost possessed.
Heh heh! Let's enjoy this wonderful night!

Oh, it's you, (Captain)... Ah, I see. You're here because it's the holy night tonight...
Because it's the holy night...
It's the holy night! What are you doing here?
That can't be right! It's a special night! It's party night! A time for celebration!
There must be other people you want to see at an important time like this!
Now, go and be free! You can go wherever you want, so you should do just that and have fun!
Make sure you have my share of fun too!

You really really want me to? Well, if you insist... But just a little.
Jingle bells! Jingle bells! Jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to sleigh on this jolly holiday!
A-ha-ha-ha! You're embarrassing me with all that clapping...
All right! Now it's your turn to sing for me, (Captain)... And don't try to blush your way out of it!

Happy holidays!
(Captain), did you look outside?
There's so much snow! It's a fluffy white world out there!
When I was young I would play outside by making snowmen on days like this.
Together, the body and head would be made of three big balls. The head would get a helmet which was just a bucket, and I think I even added a sword to make him look a soldier.
I'd name him after a famous warrior, and then Vane and I would salute him.
Heh heh... Those were fun times.
Huh? You want to see a warrior snowman?
As a matter of fact, I could make an even better snowman than before!
Will you help me make him especially big?
Let's surprise all the crew members!

Happy holidays!
Thanks for keeping watch out here on the deck despite it being so cold. Here, I brought you something warm to drink.
It's so cold you can even see your breath...
This reminds me of the time I patrolled the streets of Feendrache on a cold night like this before I became captain.
The cold was so brutal, I could feel it seeping into my bones...
An old lady thanked me and gave me a cup of hot tea to drink when she saw me patrolling out in the cold.
The warmth of the tea and the feeling of being depended on made me so happy. Thanks to that, I was able to keep going.
Maybe that's why I wanted to come and bring you a warm drink myself.
Since the party preparations are pretty much complete, would it be all right if I stayed and kept watch with you?
Heheh. All right then, let's stick this out together!

Season's greetings!
This time of year always reminds me of the times Vane and I stayed up late to try and see Santa Claus!

Ah... It's the holiday season. But I don't feel like going out with all the crowds. I guess I should tidy up my room a little...
Hm? Oh, hey there, (Captain). You want to help me clean my room? No way! I can't let you do that!
No!
I mean, it's not like I have anything to hide. It's just that you're the captain and it's your holiday break, you see...
Humph... You don't give up, do you? Fine. I'll let you help me just this once, (Captain)!
In exchange, I'll take you someplace to eat after we're done! Heheh... Now where should we go?

Today's the holiday party, huh? I remember going to those parties when I was a kid...
Heh-heh, it was so funny! Vane could never remember the words to the songs and made a mess of holiday caroling...
So I'd be sure to sing to him over and over again for practice. Ha-ha! What a great memory...
Huh? You want me to sing something now? I dunno... You can't just put me on the spot!

Lancelot and Vane

Vane: Lancey, could you help me out? If you could get that food over there and put it on a plate that would be great.
Lancelot: On it. There isn't much space here, so I'm going to move the food over there.
This looks amazing... Maybe I'll take one small sample...
Nom!
...
(Captain)! You caught me red-handed!
What? I could bribe you with one of these? All right...
Vane: Hey! Stop that, (Captain)! You know the rules!
Lancey! Don't tell me you're an accomplice! I can tell you ate some too!
Lancelot: Sorry, Vane! They just looked so good...
Vane: I'm glad you like the way they look, but you need to wait! You know I made other stuff too, right?
Lancelot: Right... (Captain), could you go wait somewhere far away from the food?

Vane: Seeing kids waiting excitedly for Santa Claus sure brings back memories!
Lancelot: We were like that once... Remember that time I stayed over at your place?
Vane: Yeah! We dumped all this candy on our bed and ate them while waiting for Santa.
Lancelot: What's that, (Captain)? Did we get to see Santa?
Well, Vane's grandmother came and told us to hurry up and go to bed. Then she tucked us in...
Vane: And the bed was so warm that both Lancey and I fell right asleep. We were so upset the next morning!
Lancelot: Yeah, we were both so sleepy, we couldn't help it... Guess we really were just kids back then.
Vane: Hey, do you have any holiday memories to share, (Captain)?
Lancelot: Oh, I want to hear them too! Do tell!

Vane: Whoa... It was coming down pretty hard last night, but I wasn't expecting this!
(Captain), we better clear out this snow before the party—
Whoap! It's freezing!
Lancelot: Heh. Your back was wide open, Vane.
Vane: Oh, Lancey... We're not here for a snowball fight.
Lancelot: Sorry. But the snow looked so white and soft, I couldn't resist. I'll start shoveling—
Ah! That one was you, wasn't it, (Captain)?
Vane: (Captain), where'd you get an armful of snowballs? I didn't even see you make one!
Lancelot: Haha. It looks like our captain means business. What do you say to a free-for-all?
Vane: All right, fine. But just for a little. And afterwards, we're shoveling up this snow!

Lancelot: That covers everything on the shopping list. (Captain), Vane, shall we return to the party venue?
Vane: Walking the streets on a night like this sure gets me hyped up! I mean, just look at all the shiny lights everywhere!
Whoa! Get a load of that shop! It's as bright as the chandelier in the castle!
Lancelot: No kidding! The decorations are getting fancier every year.
Vane: Heheh, I've got an idea! Can you guys drop by the kitchen later?
Lancelot: Sure, what do you have in mind?
Vane: Let's not spoil the surprise just yet!
A bit of oil mixed with coagulant poured into the cup, with a candle wick in place... All that's left is to wait till it hardens!
Lancelot: You're making candles from leftover cooking oil? This will certainly liven up the venue tonight!
Vane: We had some leftover food containers from all the sweets we bought. Thought we might as well make use of 'em!
We've got plenty more oil and paint too!
Let's fill the venue with these candles like we're filling the skies with stars! It'll be our holiday present to everyone!
Lancelot: Oh yeah, sounds good to me! Let's do it, (Captain)!

Lancelot: Seasons greetings, (Captain).
I was checking our outfits for the party later tonight. We have two Santa costumes, which Vane and I shall don.
Vane: Reminds me of the time we both dressed up as Santa, way back when we were tikes!
Lancelot: Oh yes! For the local festival, right?
Vane: That's the one! I ruined my costume, so I ended up borrowing yours...
Lancelot: I almost forgot about that. Haha, we were quite young, weren't we?
Vane: It still makes me feel guilty. Man, I've been taking advantage of you for our entire friendship, haven't I?
Lancelot: Is that what you think? All I remember is my best friend Vane giving me the strength to get through the darkest of times.
Vane: Really! I'll take that!
Haha, even if it is you just being nice.
Lancelot: Haha, you think too kindly of me.
It's been nice taking a trip down memory lane. Shall we make more happy memories tonight?
Vane: I'm so there! C'mon, (Captain)! Let's head to the party!

There's something so romantic about a snow-filled sky.
I hope I can enjoy it with someone special someday...

Do you remember what we did on this same night, one year ago?
I told you I wanted to look out at the snowy sky with someone special.
To tell you the truth, I... I think that may be within reach...
After all, I'm here with you, (Captain).
And with so many precious friends here with me, spending tonight with someone special might not just be a fantasy after all.

Ah, (Captain), there you are.
The holiday party was fun, wasn't it? Everyone really let their hair down.
It's late, we better be heading back. The streets have gotten pretty quiet.
Hehe. I'm glad I could spend the holidays with you this year as well.
I can't tell you how happy I am right now.

Phew... This ought to be far enough from the party...
Sorry to drag you away from the festivities, (Captain).
I won't keep you too long, or else everyone'll worry.
I just wanted to borrow you to look at the stars with me for a little while. If possible, I'd like to do this together every year...
I feel like the more time I spend with you, the greedier I get.
But I find myself wondering... if that's such a bad thing. Weird, huh?

Oh, (Captain)! I wanted to compliment you on the party. Everyone seems to be enjoying⁠—
U-um, is something the matter? You surprised me, taking hold of my arm like that. Is there somewhere you wanted to go?
Choose: Let's go stargazing.
That was unexpected... I didn't think you'd just spirit me away like this.
Still, I'm happy you remembered... That I said I wanted to go stargazing with you every year.
Oh, no wonder it was so cold. It's started to snow. Look—it's so pretty, how the flakes shine against the night sky...
Hehe. Looks like we've made yet another wonderful memory together.

What a wonderful holiday night... Everyone seems so happy.
Spending a night like tonight with someone you know is important too, yes?
Oh, how wonderful it would be if a day like today were to last forever.
Hee hee hee... I'm so happy to have the opportunity to travel with you and the rest of the crew, (Captain).

...!
Hmm? Why am I in such high spirits?
Silly you. Today's that time of the year when you do something to make another happy.
I'm taking after Santa and giving all my merriful cheer!
It's just such a lovely time of the year. Maybe I'll walk around and hand out flowers again.
(Captain), would you like to join me?
Everyone will be smiling thanks to the scent of my flowers!

Happy holidays, (Captain).
The town's children were sad that no snow was falling, so I gave them a flurry of petals instead.
I launched clumps of flowers into the air and let them land atop everyone's heads. Boop!
Heehee. I thought I might have gone overboard with the bright colors, but it seems to have matched everyone's bright smiles.
This holy night is absolutely wonderful. Happiness truly comes from doing something nice to bring a smile to someone's face.

Oh my! What a marvelous tree! Did the crew put it up just for you?
But this tree is so large, I can hardly wrap my arms around it. Dragging it here must've been a chore. I suppose it was a great, strong person who did it.
And they've got the tree in such a large pot... Could they be planning to replant it after the festivities are over? What a kind soul.
They put in all this effort, just to have a wonderful holiday evening with you, (Captain). You're very blessed.
Hehe. Look at how everyone's gathered around the tree, hoping to adorn it. What a lucky plant. It's starting to remind me of you, actually.
Hmm... How shall I decorate it?
Oh, I know. There!
Hehe. I've dressed the tree in a tinsel of flowers.
How lovely it'd be if I could embrace you so, and wrap you up in love and warmth.
Let's spend many more splendid holidays together, (Captain). This year, and the next, and so on into forever...

Happy holidays, (Captain).
Hehe... Do you see this pot here? I've been raising a tree in my room.
This little one is still small, but it has a proper trunk.
Would you do me a favor and decorate it with ornaments? So it can be a small holiday tree, yes.
One day, I hope it will grow to be a full-sized one for someone.
Though I'm not sure how long it will take to become the proper size...
When the time comes, an island will become its home. But for the time being, it can journey with us.
Nothing would make me happier than for you to continue to decorate this one until then.

Oof!
I'm so sorry, (Captain)! I didn't hurt you, did I?
Sigh... I'm always telling people not to run in the hallways and then I go and ignore my own warnings.
Sorry I was in such a hurry, but preparations for the military's winter holiday are underway.
By the way, do you have time later, (Captain)?
I finally have the chance to show you around Luxurios while it's geared up for the holidays.
And maybe you could kind of help me with a little bit of shopping... Or not...
Huh? You will?
Great! Thank you! Why don't we go right now? Come on, follow me!

Haha... Everyone's really in the spirit...
(Captain), are you enjoying the festivities as well?
What's this, you ask? I thought I would sneak into Cain's room and place it next to his pillow.
Haha... Even though he always asks me to stop treating him like a child.
Actually... I have one for you too, (Captain)!
You can't open it yet. You'll have to wait until tomorrow morning.
Hehe. I'll sneak the present into your room a bit later.

...
Eek!
Oh, it's you, (Captain)... What a surprise...
Sorry, I must've startled you just as well.
I just got back from putting a present by Cain's bedside.
And was actually just about to go to your room...
Ahaha... But you caught me before I could do that.
I guess I'll just have to give it to you in person this year! Here it is! Happy holidays!

???: Hehe, this should this put a smile on the captain's face. Here's hoping...
Leona: Huh? Ah, (Captain)!
Sorry to surprise you like this. It's me, Leona.
I thought I'd leave a holiday present by your bedside...
I didn't mean to wake you. I'm so sorry.
H-hey, can you just pretend this is all just a dream! Yeah, you didn't see me here at all!
You can go back to sleep. I'll be on my way now...
Oh, just one more thing!
Happy holidays. And have a wonderful dream... Teehee.

Sigh... I can't sleep. Guess I'll go out for a walk.
Huh? (Captain)? What are you doing up so late?
You're delivering presents? Don't tell me you were about to deliver mine, thinking I was asleep.
That's very kind of you, (Captain). Not everyone does this year in and year out.
Sorry for spoiling the surprise. I just wasn't feeling sleepy tonight.
Say, do you have some time right now?
Recently I bought this tea that makes you sleepy. I was wondering if you'd like to try it with me.
You would? Thanks! Okay, come on in and sit tight. I'll have it boiling in no time.

I finally have the chance to show you around Luxurios while it's geared up for the holidays.
And maybe you could kind of help me with a little bit of shopping... Or not...
Huh? You will?
Great! Thank you! Why don't we go right now? Come on, follow me!

Haha... Everyone's really in the spirit...
(Captain), are you enjoying the festivities as well?
What's this, you ask? I thought I would sneak into Cain's room and place it next to his pillow.
Haha... Even though he always asks me to stop treating him like a child.
Actually... I have one for you too, (Captain)!
You can't open it yet. You'll have to wait until tomorrow morning.
Hehe. I'll sneak the present into your room a bit later.

...
Eek!
Oh, it's you, (Captain)... What a surprise...
Sorry, I must've startled you just as well.
I just got back from putting a present by Cain's bedside.
And was actually just about to go to your room...
Ahaha... But you caught me before I could do that.
I guess I'll just have to give it to you in person this year! Here it is! Happy holidays!

???: Hehe, this should this put a smile on the captain's face. Here's hoping...
Leona: Huh? Ah, (Captain)!
Sorry to surprise you like this. It's me, Leona.
I thought I'd leave a holiday present by your bedside...
I didn't mean to wake you. I'm so sorry.
H-hey, can you just pretend this is all just a dream! Yeah, you didn't see me here at all!
You can go back to sleep. I'll be on my way now...
Oh, just one more thing!
Happy holidays. And have a wonderful dream... Teehee.

Sigh... I can't sleep. Guess I'll go out for a walk.
Huh? (Captain)? What are you doing up so late?
You're delivering presents? Don't tell me you were about to deliver mine, thinking I was asleep.
That's very kind of you, (Captain). Not everyone does this year in and year out.
Sorry for spoiling the surprise. I just wasn't feeling sleepy tonight.
Say, do you have some time right now?
Recently I bought this tea that makes you sleepy. I was wondering if you'd like to try it with me.
You would? Thanks! Okay, come on in and sit tight. I'll have it boiling in no time.

Leona (Yukata)

Oof!
I'm so sorry, (Captain)! I didn't hurt you, did I?
Sigh... I'm always telling people not to run in the hallways and then I go and ignore my own warnings.
Sorry I was in such a hurry, but preparations for the military's winter holiday are underway.
By the way, do you have time later, (Captain)?
I finally have the chance to show you around Luxurios while it's geared up for the holidays.

Happy holidays, Boss!
You must have a great many things to attend to at this time of year, but remember that your health always comes first!

Holidays spent with the crew are the best.
I used to till the fields, back before you picked me up. The fields were always so cold.
But now that I'm surrounded by so much food and gift-giving, I could cry.
Sob... Boss, I've decided—I'm following you for life!

How nice that we get to spend another merry holiday season... You know, it's got me thinking about things...
What do you say to checking out the snow together?
I've always wanted to watch the falling holiday snow with you.
Yes? Really? Woo-hoo! Much appreciated, Boss!
Let's get your lizard friend to come along too! Jirokichi can play with him!

Boss, season's greetings! Jirokichi and me are jumping with joy to spend this holy night with you!
We heard you're taking us out somewhere later?
Ooh! This year's party is gonna be at that super fancy restaurant?
Gyahaha! Our crew's really come into its own to be able to dine at such a nice place!
Just thinking of all we've been through in our travels brings a tear to my eye!
Can we get going already? I'm just dying to go!

Boss! Come and take a look at this! We just finished roasting a huge bird on a spit!
Thanks to you, it's become tradition to spend the holidays together—as a crew.
Gosh, I can't help gettin' choked up every time we're about to feast and all the grub lines up on that huuuge dining table!
I owe it all to you, Boss. If you hadn't made me into your underling, I wouldn't have ever thought the holidays were worth celebratin'.
Come on now! Let's gorge ourselves on the spread and make this a night to remember!

Levin Sisters

Mena: Hey, (Captain)! You know where Mina went?
Mona: We've been looking for her for a while now, but we can't find her anywhere.
Since it's a special night and all, we thought we'd get dressed up for the occasion.
Just check this out. Isn't this red just gorgeous?
Mena: All three of us were going to match outfits for tonight's party, but it looks like Mina got embarrassed and ran off.
???: There's no way that outfit would suit me! I'm not wearing it!
Mena: M-Mina! Where are you?
Mina: Eep! Gotta get away!
Mona: Ugh... Mina, stop being so stubborn.
Sigh. (Captain), could you wait here with me until Mina comes out?

Mina: Happy holidays.
Me? As you can see, I'm baking a pie for tonight's celebration.
I make one every year to share with my sisters, but this year I wanted to share with the whole crew to show my appreciation.
We won't be able to finish this many pies? No, but think of how many crew members there are. Wouldn't we need at least this many?
Mena's Voice: Miiinaaa! Aren't you done baking yet?
Mona's Voice: We're already changed for the party. You need to get ready too, Mina!
Mina: I really can't get away. I haven't made nearly enough pies.
No, (Captain)! You've got it all wrong! I'm not using pastry-making to put off changing into a dress!
Hey, let go of my hand! Where do you think you're taking me? I refuse to wear some froofy, frilly outfit! I refuuuse!

Mona: Happy holidays, (Captain)!
Mena: (Captain), come play in the snow with us! Mona and I were just making snow statues. Look! It's the Levin sisters!
Isn't Mina perfect? You know how her eyebrows suddenly drop when she's angry? I think I've got it down pat!
Mina: Oh? Tell me again—what happens to my eyebrows when I get angry?
Mena: Guh! Mina, you were here the entire time?
Mina: The pie's ready, so I came out to get you two, but...
Mena! Do you think it's funny to model snow statues after my angry face? How about you go and reflect on your actions? No dinner until you can tell me what you did wrong.
Mena: What! Just me?
Mona: Oh my...
(But that angry snow statue Mena made looks just like the real thing...)

Mina: Just a little longer, and all the pies for the party should be done baking. We did a good job if I do say so myself.
Mona: It's nice that your crew grows larger every year, (Captain).
We're going to need every mouth we can get to finish off this gigantic table of pies.
Mena: (Captain), can you tell which ones I made? Come on, guess!
At first glance, all of the baked treats look the same. But (Captain), trusting intuition, quickly points at one.
Wow! How'd you know?
Mina: Yours are slightly bigger than the rest, while Mona's lattice tops are cleaner.
Mona: And Mina's are done perfectly by the book! We can tell since we made them...
But it's amazing that you figured it out right away, (Captain)! You know us sisters pretty well, huh?
Mina: Shapes aside, the dough and fillings are the same, so they should all taste equally as good.
Mena: Still, which one will you eat, (Captain)? Lemme know what you think if you decide on mine!

Mina: Happy holidays, (Captain).
As you can see, I'm on a patrol through town. I won't let the festive mood distract me from guarding the people.
Ah... Achoo!
M-my apologies! Today's quite a bit colder than I thought it'd be...
Mona: Mina, you shouldn't push yourself so hard.
Mena: We brought some piping hot soup from that shop over there! You should take a breather and have some with us, Mina!
Mina: But I have a duty to protect...
Mona: And we have a duty to look out for you!
Mena: That's right! You always work so hard, someone has to make sure you're in tip-top shape to keep going!
Mina: Everyone...
Understood. I'll take a break.
(Captain), would you like to join us?
Mena: Guess we'll need another helping of soup! I'll go get some!

You're really having a holiday party? Well, I guess that's only natural for a coed crew like this one.
And here I thought the whole turkey and tree thing was just an urban legend...
But... maybe this just means the time is night... for the final battle between the extros and the intros.
Eheh... I hope the people living it up tonight enjoy their last supper.

Ehehe. White snow, bell tolls, and happy couples... The perfect storm for a night of quality sounds.
Yo, (Captain). Did you come for the concert too?
What do you mean, "what concert?" I'm talking about the vindictive rancor from the throng of intros.
Jealousy, desire, regret... This holiday night is hell for the timid. If you listen carefully, you can hear their collective lament.
Heeheehee... It's music to my ears! Curse the extros! Scorn yourselves!

Winter is coming... I bet it's gonna be a long one.
Say what? You didn't hear? The intros made their move.
And my sources say the extros are preparing to retaliate. All-out war could be imminent.
That means tonight could be this holiday's last... Better make it a night to remember.
Ehehe... Sorry to chat your ears off.

Ahaha! You're on! You said cookies, so I'll go with gingerbread!
Ooh, ooh! You know what goes best with gingerbread? Lily does! That's right! Me!
You're wondering why? Because I love gingerbread! And I'm sure gingerbread loves me back!
It's mutual affection! Ahh, I could really go for an extra large gingerbread cookie right now!

(Captain), the townspeople praised me!
I went around and found houses that didn't have trees. Then I made them some out of ice!
After that lots of people started asking me to come to their house to make them one too!
I did so much good today! Praise me, praise me! Pleeease!

Happy holidays, (Captain)!
I was just helping out with preparations for the celebration!
I put lots of decorations on the holiday cake and tree!
It'll be so much fun because of all my hard work!
My final task is to lead you to the venue!
So, (Captain)... Grab my hand, and I'll take you to the party!

Are you feeling stiff in the shoulders, (Captain)? How about I give you a nice massage to loosen up!
There? Feel better? I can massage your back too!
Ehehe, aren't I the best girl? I helped out so much to get the party ready too!
Do you think Santa's going to come later? I'm hoping to wake up and find the holiday stockings in my room to be filled with presents galore!
(Captain) hides the present prepared for Lily, opting instead to fiddle with the stockings that night.

(Captain), (Captain)! Do you have any extra strawberries? I need some.
Um, you see... I wanna bake this huuuge strawberry pie. So I'm on a berry hunt right now.
Oh. So I can have all the strawberries left in the kitchen?
Thank you! This pie's gonna be super yummy, so make sure you're hungry, 'kay?
Huh? Why do I wanna bake a giant pie?
Ehehe... 'Cause I wanna eat it with you all tomorrow. We gotta have cake tonight, 'cause of tradition, right? But we can have pie whenever.
And I want it to be strawberry, 'cause then it'll taste a lot like our holiday cake. So when you eat it, you'll get that special feeling in your tummy.
And then, it'll feel like the holidays aren't over yet! And everyone will be happy!
Gasp! Is it really okay if I use the Santa decoration?
Thank you, (Captain)! This is so gonna be the best pie ever!

Happy holidays, (Captain)!
I seem excited, do I? You yourself have been waiting with bated breath these past several days.
The holy night is delightful, isn't it? The sounds of plaisir (pleasure) ring out across the town...
Ah, you don't need to be so alarmed. Even I've been looking forward to this evening.
Santa Claus will bring the sounds of happiness to anyone who's been good today.
What's wrong? There's such alarm on your face...
Heh, are you worried about whether Santa Claus will visit you, (Captain)?
Yes... If he doesn't come, then I'll play you my favorite hymne.
Heh-ha, there's no need to be polite. I will play a divine acorde synchronized with the lights.
Ah, this will be delightful. Right, (Captain)!

Sigh... I can't accept this. Santa Claus is supposed to come if you've been good, no?
Well, I was a good boy all of last year, and he never showed.
I played such a nice l'hymne for the townspeople, filled with joy and du plaisir.
Not to mention the conques I made and handed out to the town's children... I even had a stocking ready.
Heh... Such is life. The lesson here is you have to pursue your own happiness, and take it with your own hands.
Whoa, put your weapon away. Where is your elegance? It's rude to threaten someone, you know.
Fret not, (Captain). I won't destroy anything... or anyone for that matter. What, you don't believe me? How regrettable.
Then why don't you spend the entire day keeping a close eye on me?
Heh-ahaha! Oh what fun we shall have tonight, (Captain).

Salut! (Captain), perfect timing!
Come join me. I'm going to meet Santa Claus.
It's time to take the initiative, since he's not coming around no matter how long I wait.
As for where he is... Heh. There's a key to drawing him out of hiding, and that key is you, (Captain).
He'll be sure to visit a kid as good as you.
I'll take cover somewhere nearby. Just give me a signal once he's here!
Finally, I'll be able to meet Santa...
I wonder what kind of noises the jolly old man will make... Heh-ahaha! The suspense is killing me!

You're just so awful, (Captain).
I'm talking about last year. Or did you forget?
I hid myself so I could finally meet Santa Claus...
But I waited the entire night without ever getting your signal. Did you forget I was there?
I was reminded of my childhood, when I played hide-and-seek with my Mama and Papa.
You know what? Why don't we play hide-and-seek this year? Santa Claus can be it.
Now let's hide together, side by side! Closer! I won't let you run away.
Heh-haha... I do hope dear Santa finds us.
(Captain)... Heh-ahaha!

Salut, (Captain)! I'm hard at work making a present for Santa.
Aw, don't look at me like that. While the present is a conque, it's filled only with words of appreciation from innocent children!
Care to have a listen? You can gauge for yourself their level of delight from their lovely voices.
Haha. I always did find it unfair that Santa doesn't get to hear all those happy sounds despite going out of his way to ensure children are happy.
We may as well record your voice too! Here, speak into this conque and express your thanks to Santa.
I'll make sure it gets to him. That's a promise!

Happy holidays!
This season's gonna be the best ever! Be merry!

Lowain: Smarts!
All Three: w00t! w00t!
Elsam: Moolah!
All Three: w00t! w00t!
Tomoi: Generosity!
All Three: w00t! w00t!
Lowain: Well, if it ain't the captain! Season's greetings!
Elsam and Tomoi: Happy holidays!
Lowain: We were talking about the presents we want from Santa!
I could never ask for Kat though. If she really came to me all gift-wrapped, it could only mean Santa brainwashed her! And that's not what I want!
Wait up, bros! I just realized something!
Elsam and Tomoi: Tell us about it, man!
Lowain: Listen good... Santa... and Kat...
All Three: Kat dressed up as Santa?
Elsam: My mind's exploding just thinking about it!
Tomoi: Oh man, can you picture that?
Lowain: Aah! I think my heart just skipped a beat!
All Three: Tubular, dude!

Lowain: You bros got any ideas?
Elsam: It ain't ever an easy choice...
Tomoi: Might as well just stick with the usual chicken.
Lowain: Goin' traditional's always nutritional, but with our crew gettin' so big, I dunno anymore, man...
Elsam: Word up. Everyone's got different tastes.
Tomoi: We could always go eeny, meeny, miny, moe, you know.
Lowain: Ah, season's greetings, (Captain). We were sweatin' hardcore over what to serve tonight.
Tomoi: This is, like, boss-level stuff we're talkin' here.
Elsam: Well, if we're just goin' up against a few imperial imp-eciles, us three with Kat wouldn't even break a sweat.
Lowain: But when the ship hits the fan, Kat ain't against getting a helping hand from Lancey.
Elsam: Synergy's everything in battle, if you know what I'm talkin' about.
Lowain: But, dude, we're still kinda screwed with this dinner menu...
How 'bout we kick up the vibes for now? Might spark a few ideas.
A one, and a two...
All Three: Wahey!
Lowain: Whoooaa! I just got, like, a major flash of inspiration, dudes!

Elsam & Tomoi: Season's greets, (Captain)!
Elsam: Oh, Lowain? He's preppin' tonight's holiday grub.
Tomoi: We're tryna reach new heights, so it might take a while.
Lowain: Dum-de-do...
Blech!
Whew, talk about a close one... Almost infected the grub with my barf...
Ah, happy holidays, (Captain). We were tryna make eats the Baotorda way.
That Draph hunk's really got his own style down.
Elsam: He's just burstin' with Lumiel vibes.
Tomoi: We figured Lowain could be more Lumiel-like by incorporatin' humming into his routine.
Lowain: Tonight's, like, the Holy Eve after all. We figured a change of pace was in order.
Elsam: So I thought long and hard about what makes the dude's cookin' so special, and then I figured it out! The secret ingredient's gotta be his hummin'!
Tomoi: I can't get enough of how his low-frequency humming's totally in sync with the simmer of his frying pan.
Lowain: The Lumiel way ain't so much about vibes; it's more about goin' with the flow.
Like, if you put too much heart into it, the flavor ends up full of heart too.
Tomoi: Anyways, we figured humming would be a good place to start...
Lowain: La-di-da— Ngh...
Elsam: Looks like you're not cut out for that bass sound, Lowain...
Lowain: Shoot... I might have to get in some voice training before next year rolls around...

Lowain Bros: ...!
(Captain) enters the galley to find the Lowain bros gathered around a cutting board.
Elsam: Oh hey, (Captain)! Kappa holidays!
Tomoi: Sorry, fam. We got all caught up watchin' Lowain slice that salmun.
Lowain: The voice training I started wasn't really workin' out, so I ditched it and decided to try makin' some kappa-style sushi this year.
But just tryin' to cut the fish right was gnarly enough, so instead of makin' it all neat, we're doin' deconstructed sushi.
Elsam: ...
Tomoi: I dunno though, dude... Deconstructed? I just don't like the sound of it.
Elsam: Yeah... I mean, deconstructed's got con right in the name. Think we oughta change it?
Lowain: ...
Tomoi: Well, maybe it's kappa. Not everybody'd hear it that way, right?
Lowain: Mmm... Just to be safe, maybe we call it... Unlaced sushi? Unleashed? Inside out?
Hmm...
The bros furrow their brows, grappling with this thorny problem even as they continue to slice.

Lowain (Event)

Lowain: Hey, nice timing, Captain! We could totally use your input on something!
Elsam: We've been discussing this forever and finally nailed it down—Operation Holiday Confession!
Tomoi: First, we come down with some sorta lung infection. Then Kat comes in and...
Lowain: What's that, Captain? The holidays are almost over?
Elsam: Aww, gosh... Dude, we spent way too much time mulling over the details...
Tomoi: So how about this Operation Holiday Confession?
All Three: Back to the drawing board!

Tomoi: Bwahaha! Yo, (Captain), you gotta hear this! Lowain actually believed in San—
Lowain: Shut it! Who doesn't believe in Santa when they're a kid?
Elsam: Nah, that fairy tale's for toddlers. 'Sides, who seriously rides on a sleigh? It's all about the carriages.
Tomoi: Gahaha, so horses are where it's at, huh? Whew, never woulda known if we didn't ask though. Who woulda guessed Lowain believed in something so whack.
Lowain: Heh, shoulda kept to myself about it.
Elsam: Hahah... Really got me wonderin' about Santa's ride though...
Tomoi: Ahaha...
Huh? Hold it, Sammy...
Elsam: Could it be magic? Maybe Santa's this world-class sorcerer or sumthin...
Lowain: Sigh... Hey, Tommy...
Tomoi: Oh snap, don't tell me you've fallen off the wagon too, Sammy...
Elsam: So what are you asking for this year, (Captain)? I asked for a ginormous spoon!

Elsam: ...
Yo, (Captain)! Can we rap for a bit?
It's killer cold today. That's why I wanna brew a hot soup that'll keep the Santa train chuggin' all night.
But who knows when he's gonna show up. So I was gonna find a big ol' heating stone in case I need to get a cold soup boilin' again...
Lowain: Basically it's up to us to dip into Sammy's soup of the day.
Tomoi: Don't want him wakin' up in the morning and gettin' butthurt over leftover soup.
Lowain: Thanks for being an extra mouth, (Captain). Sammy went into overdrive and filled this huge pot to the top.
Tomoi: Whoa, what? Yo! Pot's dry as a bone!
Lowain: Huh? That ain't right, man... Did some other crewmates polish it off?
Tomoi: Nah, don't think so. Check this out. A tube of hair gel with a card that says "Thank You."
Lowain: And it's that limited edition stuff Sammy wanted that no one can get anymore...
Lowain & Tomoi: ...
The Lowain bros exchange baffled looks. They have no idea how to explain what occurred while everyone was sound asleep.
Eventually they shrug it off and go off to do other things. With today being a day of gift-giving and mirth, there's no time to waste on piffling mysteries.

Lowain: ...
Tomoi: Say, Lowain. Do we got more food on the table than we did last year?
Lowain: Huh? Yeah... I guess. Just to be safe. Might be one more guest than we planned for. Happens.
Tomoi: Right... Sure. Never know who might turn up, huh?
Elsam: Wait. Lowain, are you puttin' out goodies for Santa too?
Lowain: N-no way, nuh-uh, nohow! You're the only one Santa's gonna visit around here, Sammy!
Tomoi: Pffft. Hahaha! You said it. You an' me just ain't pure enough, bro!
Lowain: ...
Lowain sets the extra meal in the cupboard. That evening, when he opens the cupboard, there is a surprise waiting for him.
Someone scarfed it... And Sammy's the only one who knew that food was here.
Tomoi: No way would Sammy eat something you said was for Santa.
Lowain: So you sayin' Santa's for real?
Tomoi: Beats me, bro.
Tomoi and Lowain stare in silence at the canister of rare spice and the glasses cleaning cloth left neatly beside the empty plate.

Lowain: Let's see... We got spit-roasted chicken, chef's salad, and soup. Any other ideas for the season's merriest partay?
Tomoi: Can't go wrong with pasta, right? I call dibs on choppin' veggies!
Elsam: Cool beans. Put me down for water boilin' duty—
Whoa, hold the transceiver, Lowain! Is that a red sock thingy I see chillin' in the kitchen?
Lowain: Huh? Oh, that. It's called settin' the mood, bro. Hangin' one up couldn't hurt.
Elsam: Just for deco? Yeah, right, fam! You know that's where Santa stuffs the presents!
Tomoi: ...
Lowain: ...
Elsam: Dude, I can't believe you went stocking shopping without me! That's a top ten betrayal!
Lowain: Um, actually...
It came in a three pack, so there's still two left.
Elsam & Tomoi: ...!
Lowain: Figured you bros'd wanna hang one up in your own digs, you dig?
Elsam: Bahaha! Count on Lowain to have all the bases covered. Cool, sock it to me.
Lowain: You in, Tommy?
Tomoi: ...
Eh, why not? In the name of the holiday spirit.
Elsam: No doubt. Thinkin' about what Santa'll bring is macho-level hype. I've been a good boy all year too.
Lowain & Tomoi: ...
Over the past few years, the Lowain bros have experienced unexplainable—almost magical—incidents that have them half-believing in Santa's existence.
With this year's holiday looming, what new surprises are in store for them?

(Captain) hurries back to the Grandcypher after buying ingredients for the night's winter feast.
Quite the large amount of things you're carrying. The items are about to fall from your two measly arms.
What? These are for... the winter celebration? Mortals certainly tend to celebrate at any occasion.
You're carrying everything rather carelessly. Do you not care at all if you drop and damage the items?
Ah, you do. Then perhaps you should consider employing the help of other mortals to avoid such a situation.
...
Use this. I have connected it to the deck of the Grandcypher.
I hear it is tradition to give gifts to young children for the winter celebration. You may see this as my gift to you, Singularity.

How do I usually spend the holidays? Well...
I used to count the festival fires burning on each island from way up high.
Everyone prays for their loved ones during this season.
There is a great peace that blankets the world...
It's a truly wonderful time of year... Sorry?
Yes, of course I spend it alone... Now why have you given me this plate of food, (Captain)?
It's very kind of you, but I think perhaps Vyrn would enjoy it more than I...

What was it... Ah yes, happy holidays. That is the greeting that the people of this world use today, is it not?
And there's a banquet tonight? Then I shall try to pass the time without sowing any seeds of unrest at your gathering.
But spending this holy night alone would be sad, you say? No... It's just I don't particularly understand the minds of people yet.
However, I now see that you were concerned about me spending the holidays alone.
Just knowing that you are there brings me joy, (Captain).

Happy holidays. Hm. I can't say that I've grown accustomed to speaking such a greeting.
I do apologize for declining to attend the party last year.
However, I was overcome by a mysterious feeling while watching from afar.
As I observed the smiles and laughter of that wintery scene, I felt a warmth spreading across my chest.
Is that what you call happiness?
If it is, then conversing with you now at this very instant is also my moment of happiness.

Happy holidays, (Captain). I feel as though these greetings have become second nature to us, don't you think?
That being said, I have something I would like to discuss.
This year I would like to observe the holy banquet firsthand.
Yes. I have previously kept my distance because I was afraid my presence would disturb the occasion.
But that was an unfounded fear. The members of your crew are focused solely upon you, (Captain).
I do not suspect I will cause a ruckus at all. And thus, I will join the festivities this year.
Oh? You're happy to hear that?
I am not sure why you are elated, but...
As long as you have the merriest of nights, that is the most important thing of all.

Happy holidays, (Captain).
I decided to enjoy the holiday banquet with everyone again this year.
It wouldn't be wise to let myself get carried away, but avoiding others on this day would surely be a source of concern.
Heh... You look relieved. I had no idea you were so worried on my behalf.
Throughout my time with you, mysteries that I previously couldn't fathom have been unraveled one by one.
I've come to understand that seemingly ordinary activities, like mingling and sharing meals, are actually incredibly important.
If you're happy, you should express it. That is yet another way to love the people of this world.
Interaction is key—much like how you reach out to those who seek to sever their bonds. And so I plan to enjoy myself to the fullest this year as well.
However, as I mentioned earlier, I'll take the utmost care not to overdo things. Heh.

The winter holiday... I used to spend it with Teena and my mother back home.
Never mind... Forget what I said.

It was on a night like this when Teena got angry at me.
Even though it was a holiday, all I did was spend it swinging my sword.
I was just practicing in order to become stronger for the sake of protecting everyone.
Heh. I guess that's why I'm always the odd one out.

What is it, (Captain)? What do you have there in your hands?
Huh? Letters from all the children aboard the Grandcypher?
Ah, of course... Letters addressed to Santa Claus.
("A teddy bear." Heh... There was a time when Teena wanted the same thing.)
("A picture of Leviathan." That's one macho kid.)
("A world where I don't have to eat veggies.")
Lucius instinctively checks to see who this letter is from.
Heh... You and me, both. Looks like we'll get along just fine.
(Captain) looks at Lucius quizzically, but Lucius simply flashes his captain a knowing smile.

Another holy night arrives...
Mm, I was just revisiting a past memory.
A memory of when a much younger Teena begged Santa Claus to bring her a teddy bear.
I worked my fingers to the bone in making one for her as a present.
It came out ugly as sin, but she loved it all the same.
I'll never forget the smile on her face. That was the best gift I could ever receive.
Heh. And here I am rambling on about such an embarrassing reflection. I ask that you keep this between the two of us.

Gehehe...
Hm? You found that creepy, (Captain)?
Well, it's just that I found something really surprising earlier in Teena's room.
I thought I'd seen that teddy bear somewhere before, but then I realized it was a present I gave to her a long time ago.
If you ask me, she should just toss out something that old.
Then again, taking good care of your possessions isn't necessarily a bad thing. Hm...

Lucius (Fire)

The winter holiday... I used to spend it with Teena and my mother back home.
Never mind... Forget what I said.

It was on a night like this when Teena got angry at me.
Even though it was a holiday, all I did was spend it swinging my sword.
I was just practicing in order to become stronger for the sake of protecting everyone.
Heh. I guess that's why I'm always the odd one out.

What is it, (Captain)? What do you have there in your hands?
Huh? Letters from all the children aboard the Grandcypher?
Ah, of course... Letters addressed to Santa Claus.
("A teddy bear." Heh... There was a time when Teena wanted the same thing.)
("A picture of Leviathan." That's one macho kid.)
("A world where I don't have to eat veggies.")
Lucius instinctively checks to see who this letter is from.
Heh... You and me, both. Looks like we'll get along just fine.
(Captain) looks at Lucius quizzically, but Lucius simply flashes his captain a knowing smile.

Another holy night arrives...
Mm, I was just revisiting a past memory.
A memory of when a much younger Teena begged Santa Claus to bring her a teddy bear.
I worked my fingers to the bone in making one for her as a present.
It came out ugly as sin, but she loved it all the same.
I'll never forget the smile on her face. That was the best gift I could ever receive.

Hehehe! (Captain)! Wh-why are you awake right now?
I was just... Hahaha...
Haha! Don't look at me—hehe—with such suspicious eyes! Haha!
Heh. I thought I would pull a Santa—haha—to thank you for everything! Haha!
After all it's the season to be giving. And we all know Santa brings good little crew members presents! Haha!
Hehehe! But you've already caught me! Haha!
Hehehe! Oh! What if you joined me tonight? Haha!
We could bring presents to the rest of the crew! Hahaha!
We'll be just like the real Santa! Haha! How about it?

Hehe... (Captain)!
Ahaha! What? Where am I going with my gun?
Hehehe... You know where! Bwahaha! It's the holy night.
Which can only mean... Haha! I'm going turkey hunting! Gyuh!
You know we can't do without a turkey! Bwahaha!
Hehehe... Leave it to me. I may not look it, but I'm a good hunter!
Hehe! (Captain), here I go!
Hahaha! I'ma catch a big one! You just wait! Bwahaha!

Hehehe, you came at a good time, (Captain)! Haha!
Heh, why don't you take a bite of this? Hahaha!
I made a special mushroom stew for this special, holy night.
Hehe, I did a pretty good job, but nobody wanted to give it a try! Ahaha!
Relax... Heh, i-it's mostly made of mushrooms I bought at the store! Bwahaha!
Hehehehe... Huh? Yeah, I said, "mostly." The rest I found, hehe.
Ahaha! It's fine. I tried them all, so they're not poisonous!
Hehehe, don't you trust me?

Heeheehee! (Captain), heh, mind hearing me out for a sec?
Mwahaha, truth is, I asked Santa Claus to bring me a new species of mushroom this year. Hehehe, hahaha!
Pfft, haha, Santa's a special guy, right? He might get something out of this world! Tee-hee!
I can't wait to see what he totes over... Gaha, ahahaha!
Wahaha! Ahhh, bwahaha! I can't... stop laughing! Haha!
Hyaha, hehe, haha! I can't! Bwaha! Ahahaha!
Hee, hahaha, hoo! Hahaha! Hyahhh... Cough!
Phew... Need to get my laughter under control before Santa gets here... Hehe... Hee...

Pfft... Ahahaha! Just the person I wanted to see, (Captain).
I baked a—heehee—I baked a cake.
Wanna try a bite? Ahahaha!
Teehee, thank you. I think you're gonna—
Bahahaha! What? You're worried it's a mushroom, and not a cake?
Aahahaha! Huff... huff... Wahaha!
It's a replica! It only looks and tastes like a mushroom... Pffaha!
Snort... I poured my heart into making it, so eat up!
You've got nothing to worry about! I only sprinkled in a tiny bit of shrooms... Ahahaha!

Sorry to tell you, but today's festivities aren't really my thing.
I've gotta get back to drawing anyway...
My next work? I'll let you in on a few details.
It's a story about Santa's mischievous son who befriends a fragile, sickly young man. I'm drawing the chimney scene now...

Ah, the holiday season always reminds me of my childhood. Especially the year I came to love all things romantic.
My parents bought me a book on anatomy, and certain drawings in it really grabbed my attention.
My parents got the wrong idea and thought I wanted to be a doctor or something. I felt so guilty seeing their excitement.
Oh look, it's snowing!

The scenery is so pretty... Bright little snowflakes falling gently through the air...
Tonight the sky is overflowing with love, don't you think? The weather is chilly, but the day is filled with warm hearts...
I bet that fancy guy is saying I made dinner reservations just for you today...
And the young guy says I'm not dressed for such a nice place...
Then the fancy guy says Don't fret. No one's stopping us...
Ahhh... How sweet!

(Captain), do you happen to be free right now?
I was just thinking of taking a walk around town on this festive night for some creative inspiration.
I thought of going alone at first, given how busy everyone is and that I'd simply be drawing sketches.
But there's so much going on out there that I'm not sure I can handle it alone.
So please... If you can just accompany me...

I figured the streets would be awash with couples.
(Captain), I have to apologize. Sorry to make you come with me to buy art supplies on this festive day.
Oh, but this mood is almost too much to bear. Makes me so tired... Maybe I'll just take a nice little nap, yawn...
...! W-wait! Look over there! Two young men walking side by side!
Are they friends? Coworkers? But they're only carrying one cake box. Judging by the size, it should contain two individual slices!
C-c-could it b-be! A co-cou-couple? Did they just finish picking out presents for each other... To-together?
We need to leave now, (Captain)! Suddenly I'm overcome with inspiration! I have to get to work on my next piece!

Lunalu (Light)

Happy holidays? How irritating... The holiday spirit is infecting every person.
Forget about me, and go back to your celebrating friends.
As for me, I'll be busy appeasing the demon inside that howls at the concept of a holy night.
The quiet of the snowy landscape outside town is calling to me...

Hey... Why exactly are you dragging me out like this?
What? You wanted to walk around town with me on this special night?
Heh... You're an odd one. You're only putting yourself in danger by being with me, you know.
The year end is filled with worldly desires, meaning demons are all the more powerful... but with your skill, I'm sure you can keep up.
It seems this moment of quiet will have to be put on hold, but no matter. Let us continue on our way into town to observe the festivities.

(Captain) and Lunalu walk through the decorated streets of town on a winter night.
Hey, don't go overboard just because it's the winter celebration.
What? You want a lollipop from that store before continuing on our way?
Don't you know that the power of demons is strongest on nights like these when worldly desires manifest themselves?
Still, I do like watching you enjoy yourself like this. All right, go get what you want.
But stay alert. We don't know when the demons will make their move.
I don't want the next lollipop I buy to be an offering for your grave.

Lyria (Event)

Happy holidays!
Wow, the tree is so shiny! It's beautiful!

Say... do you think I've been really good this whole year?
I wonder if Santa will come by and visit us again...
Ooh... I'm so anxious tonight, I don't think I'll get a wink of sleep!

(Captain), happy holidays!
I wonder if it will snow. I would love that so much.
Oh, but wait! If it snowed, then Santa would have such a tough time...
Hmm... I know!
How about we prepare something that will warm Santa up?

This needs... pepper, salt, and butter... and then...
Gasp! (Captain)! Are you here to buy some things too?
Actually, I'm out collecting the things we need to prepare the meal for tonight!
I'd like to try my hand at a full-course meal...
It's almost like preparing a small little festival for everyone to enjoy. I'm very excited.
Since it's so cold out, I'm thinking of making something very warm for Santa Claus!
I'll put my everything into making the best meal I can! You just sit back and enjoy, (Captain)!

Chicky with an empty belly... I'll stuff it full of yummy veggies...
While (Captain) mans the fryer, Lyria happily works on stuffing a chicken.
Ehehe... Sorry, (Captain). Cooking with you is so fun I started singing absentmindedly.
All that's left now is to put the chicken in the oven! How are your fries doing?
(Captain) lifts the basket out of the oil to see that the fries are a perfect golden brown. But the captain tries one just to make sure.
Hey, no fair! I want to help taste-test too! Here, pop one in my mouth, okay? Ahh...
I haven't washed my hands after touching the chicken, so I can't take one myself! Come on, stop teasing me!
Munch, munch... Hehe, they're delicious right out of the fryer. You're a frying genius!

(Captain). Won't you spend just this one day with me?
I've never had the chance to play in the snow with skydwellers before... I'd like to try it, if only just once.
And it's tradition to spend this day with those important to you, is it not? Therefore, I choose you,(Captain).
Hehe... After we've had our fill of fun, we can make an igloo together.
Inside we can keep warm, and let our worries and weariness melt away.

Hehe... Thank you for spending the holy night with me this year as well, (Captain).
Are you cold? The degree of cold skydwellers feel is different from how I perceive it.
I see. If you're feeling fine, then all is well.
But tell me if it becomes too much for you.
I shall come close and warm you up from the heart...

I love the winter. Cold nights are the most beautiful—for look... It is when the stars glisten brightest.
Come stand by me. We shall speak while gazing at the sky.
Do not fear the cold. I command the frost and will not let it touch you.
No... I've changed my mind. Tonight is special, after all. Such heavy-handed meathods would spoil the mood.
Lean against me. Hehe. Am I not warmer than you expected?
Now, lay your head on my chest... my beloved.

It's cold tonight. Isn't it, beloved skydweller?
But do not fear... I'd never beteem the frost to so much as nip at your nose.
Though, if you'd like, you can let the cold carry your soul away... then you and nature will become one forever.
Hehe. I jest, of course. Moments like this—the two of us chatting side-by-side—mean more to me than all the stars in the sky.
But if one day, you change your mind... and find you'd like to spend eternity with me, do let me know.

Snow will soon be upon us, beloved skydweller. The evening will be cold.
It doesn't seem like snow will fall, you say? Have you forgotten that I am a primal beast?
I believe it would be best to return to the warmth of your room before it gets cold.
Oh? Does the way I speak surprise you? Perhaps that may be the case.
There's no doubt that I wish to spend eternity with you, my beloved skydweller.
But, a part of me thinks that changing my methods may be worth a try.
I would like to experience eternity with you tonight.
The snow will not cease anytime soon. Shall we take this time to converse the night away?

Tonight's a very special night... I don't mind celebrating with the rest of the crew...
But doesn't going to a quiet place for two sound so much more romantic?

The holiday's upon us, (Captain).
Wouldn't it be nice to enjoy this romantic night between the two of us?
My, my, what are you getting all flustered for? You're bound to me by fate after all...

There's nothing more romantic than snow on a winter's night.
Hehe. That isn't my magic, I promise... I've learned that sometimes truly magical things can't be forced.
On precious nights like these, how and who you spend it with is important.
Being able to spend time like this with a special someone such as yourself just makes it even more precious.
Now then, just how shall we spend it together... What are you in the mood for?

Even though we're having such a lovely party, would you like to sneak out with me?
Hehe. Just kidding.
If I'd asked you to spend this entire festive night with me, I bet you would have.
Let's stare at the night sky together just a little longer and then head back inside.
That sounds good enough to you?
For now, yes. But I'm sure we'll be able to share many more nights like this.
And that's not just a prediction—we'll definitely see them together.

I must say, I feel some affinity for our dear Santa Claus.
With his red hat and clothes, wouldn't you say we share the same image? Hehe.
Hey, (Captain). Indulge me for a moment. If I were Santa Claus, what kind of gift would you ask for?
You're quite the kind person, so I assume you would ask for something like happiness and peace across the skies.
However, just for tonight, I'd be delighted if you focused your attention on me and only me.
Just kidding. Were you surprised by such a selfish request? Hehe...

Hmm...
Oh, (Captain). You came to eat cake too?
Okay, wait just a minute. I'm currently calculating the number of cuts required to give all members of the crew equal pieces.
I came pretty close just now, but I forgot to account for a 0.5 unit margin of error.
Hmm... First I'll have to recalculate some of the variables...

Hmmm...
Can I talk to you about something that I think about every year?
You know that a turkey lays an egg, right?
Well, how was the first turkey born to lay the first egg?
I guess the bigger question is... did the turkey come first or did the egg?

Let's see... If the weight of the third tier on the right side's... Then the symmetry of the star on top would have to be...
Hrm...
Ah, (Captain). Isn't this such a beautiful night?
I was measuring decorations for the holiday tree.
In order to make the tree as fancy as possible while keeping it balanced, we'd have to...
But wait, I really want to use a big, flashy star on top too...
Mm...

Oh, (Captain). There you are. Could you spare a minute?
Take a look at this sheet. I'd like you to rank the dishes in order, starting from what you want to eat most.
You see, the cooks asked me to help decide on a menu for today's feast.
So I wanted to gather some statistics on the crew's food preferences, then work out which dishes everyone would enjoy most.
Of course, to produce reliable results, we need as large a sample size as possible...
And I was wondering if you could help me with the data collection, (Captain).
Really? Okay, here's half of the surveys to pass out then.
I really appreciate it.

Happy holidays, (Captain). Tonight's holy night is going to be different.
I've taken the data from last year's survey and calculated the perfect course for our banquet.
As for the tree, I determined the largest star possible and placed it on top. It's extremely unbalanced, so please don't touch it.
Hm? You think... I'm kind of like the crew's very own Santa Claus?
I'm honored to be compared to someone as impressive as him.
But I still have a lot to learn. He can make every child in the world happy, after all...
Now that I think about it, how does he manage to deliver so many presents in one night?
Perhaps there's a secret to planning routes and choosing helpers that only he knows. At the very least, he would have to be completely efficient with time...
Ah, speaking of time, we're late for dinner. This won't do.
I need to check if the meal order performs accordingly with my calculations. Let's go.

Ah, speaking of time, we're late for dinner. This won't do.
I need to check if the meal order performs accordingly with my calculations. Let's go.

Mahira (Holiday)

Hmm...
Oh, (Captain). You came to eat cake too?
Okay, wait just a minute. I'm currently calculating the number of cuts required to give all members of the crew equal pieces.
I came pretty close just now, but I forgot to account for a 0.5 unit margin of error.
Hmm... First I'll have to recalculate some of the variables...

Hmmm...
Can I talk to you about something that I think about every year?
You know that a turkey lays an egg, right?
Well, how was the first turkey born to lay the first egg?
I guess the bigger question is... did the turkey come first or did the egg?

Let's see... If the weight of the third tier on the right side's... Then the symmetry of the star on top would have to be...
Hrm...
Ah, (Captain). Isn't this such a beautiful night?
I was measuring decorations for the holiday tree.
In order to make the tree as fancy as possible while keeping it balanced, we'd have to...
But wait, I really want to use a big, flashy star on top too...
Mm...

Oh, (Captain). There you are. Could you spare a minute?
Take a look at this sheet. I'd like you to rank the dishes in order, starting from what you want to eat most.
You see, the cooks asked me to help decide on a menu for today's feast.
So I wanted to gather some statistics on the crew's food preferences, then work out which dishes everyone would enjoy most.
Of course, to produce reliable results, we need as large a sample size as possible...
And I was wondering if you could help me with the data collection, (Captain).
Really? Okay, here's half of the surveys to pass out then.
I really appreciate it.

Happy holidays, (Captain). Tonight's holy night is going to be different.
I've taken the data from last year's survey and calculated the perfect course for our banquet.
As for the tree, I determined the largest star possible and placed it on top. It's extremely unbalanced, so please don't touch it.
Hm? You think... I'm kind of like the crew's very own Santa Claus?
I'm honored to be compared to someone as impressive as him.
But I still have a lot to learn. He can make every child in the world happy, after all...
Now that I think about it, how does he manage to deliver so many presents in one night?
Perhaps there's a secret to planning routes and choosing helpers that only he knows. At the very least, he would have to be completely efficient with time...
Ah, speaking of time, we're late for dinner. This won't do.

Makura

Makura: Look at all these couples out on the town to enjoy the holiday illuminations tonight...
But you know what? I'm gonna say it—I can't stand it!
You know why, (Captain)?
Because attendance to our show is just abysmal on nights like this every year!
Harrington: I understand how you feel, Boss. However, only troupe members should be privy to such information.
Makura: It's fine... Being more open about this sort of thing helps bring us actors together. Right, (Captain)?
Oh, wait a second. You're not an actor, are you, (Captain)? Ahaha, sorry!

Malinda (Event)

Malinda: Gyoo! Gyoo gyoo gyoo!
Vania: Malinda wished you a happy holiday! I think you understood it too!
Malinda: Gyoo! Gyooyoo... grurgh...
Vania: Hmm... I don't know what she's saying now...
Malinda: Grurgh...
Vania: Maybe she's hungry?
Then let's have some cake! Come on, Bloodkin, cut us a slice!

Malinda: Gyoo!
Vania: Wah! Why do you have such huge bag, Malinda?
Malinda: Gyoo... Gyoo, gyoo.
Vania: Ahaha! You want to play Santa Claus! Okay, count me in!
We didn't forget about you either, Bloodkin. Come help me with the presents! Heeheehee!

Malinda: Gyoo, gyooo!
Vania: Heeheehee! Malinda and I were the bestest girls this year, (Captain)!
Malinda: Gyoo gyoo gyooo!
Vania: Oh yeah! You want some too, don't you, Malinda? Hey, Bloodkin!
We need presents! Preseeeents!
Deliver a mountain of them at our feet! Heeheehee.
Malinda: Gyooo!

Malinda: Gyoo!
Vania: Yay! Malinda makes for the best Santa! Which present's mine, Malinda?
Malinda: Gyoo! Gyooo!
Vania: Aw, you don't have one for me? That's not nice!
Malinda: Gyauu!
Vania: Ah, so those presents are for all the children in town?
Ahaha, sounds like a busy year for you! Getting all the way to town won't be easy! Good on you, Malinda!
Malinda: Gyoo!
Vania: Ahaha! Let's get going then! You too, Bloodkin!

Malinda: Gyoo! Gyoo, gyoo!
Vania: Malinda's playing Santa again this year! What a good girl!
Malinda: Gyoo!
Vania: Ohh! Are these presents for me and Bloodkin?
Malinda: Gyoo... Gyoo, gyoo!
Vania: You got us gifts too this year?
Bloodkin, make sure to give Santa Malinda a big thank-you!
Malinda: Gyooyoo!

Manamel

When (Captain) notices that Manamel is not at the winter celebration, the captain goes to find her in her room.
Sis!
Oh... It's you. Of course it is.
Manamel is sitting quietly at the edge of the sofa in her vividly decorated room.
When I was small... On this holy night, I'd wait for my sister-boo to come home just like this.
I'd leave a small tree on the table, and decorate the walls nicely...
Then I'd wait like this, every single year... and I still do.
Hoping that my sister-boo will come back, just like before...
Choose: Can I sit beside you?
Huh?
Without waiting for an answer, (Captain) plops down next to Manamel on the sofa.
That's my sister-boo's spot.
Choose: Can I have it for today?
...
Without a word, Manamel resignedly leans closer to (Captain).

(Captain)? You have a present for me?
I have to admit, it's like, super hard to think of what to get for me.
I buy what I want right away, and I only use what I like. Are you sure you still want to give me something?
(Captain) nods and hands Manamel her gift. Manamel looks inside the package hesitantly.
Oh, wow! These are the limited edition cosmetics I wanted to get this summer but couldn't get my hands on!
Oh my gosh, seriously? I'm so happy!
Oh... So you remembered how I said I couldn't buy the cosmetics because I got the release date wrong?
Wasn't it hard to get these? Thank you so much, (Captain)!
You know... I said it's super hard to get me something, but the truth is... I would've been happy with anything you got me.
The last time someone ever got me something was when my sister-boo played Santa and gave me a present.
I can't really recall what she got me at the time, but I remember being so happy.
So... I guess what makes me happy about a present are the feelings behind it.
I'm never going to forget this moment for the rest of my life.

Maria Theresa

Happy holidays to you, skyfarer.
I've never attended a winter party such as yours before.
This feeling of familial togetherness in the presence of a hearty meal is like a blessing!
During my time at the castle, every matter was a stiff and formal affair. I much prefer this style of gathering!
Justice and I are excited to join in the merry festivities!

Happy Holidays, (Captain)!
Hm? Oh yes, doesn't it look delicious?
This is a local specialty from the Loman Empire. I'm no expert, but my handmaiden taught me the basics of making it.
I heard everyone's bringing food from their hometowns this year, so I tried making something too.
Hehe. You must be starving.
Would you like to have a little taste just before everyone comes?
In return, you have to let me know what you think, okay?
All right, then dig in!

Oh my, what a surprise bumping into you here, (Captain)! Happy holidays!
Are you out shopping for the party?
I knew it! Actually, I'm doing the same.
Everyone seemed to enjoy my Loman cuisine, so I decided to make a few more dishes this year.
Speaking of hometown meals, what kind of dishes do you have in Zinkenstill?
Ah, I see. That sounds delicious! I wonder if I could make it...
I'm not sure if it'll taste the same if I got my hands on the recipe, but I'd like to give it a try.
What do you mean why? Is it strange that I'd want to repay all your kindness?
Ah! I forgot we're still in the middle of a shopping trip! Come on, let's go!

Happy holidays, (Captain)!
Thank you for indulging me today.
I've been wanting to visit the holiday market ever since I first heard of it.
It is as amazing as the rumors claimed!
Festive ornaments and decorations as far as the eye can see! The sight truly puts a smile on the face, doesn't it?
I fully plan on making the most of today, especially since I was able to come with you.
There should be an ornament-making shop over there. Why don't we make one to mark the occasion?
Hehe, excellent. Let's not waste any time then! We still have plenty more to do after as well.
I hope to make many memories with you before the day is over.

My, this is fascinating! It's as if we've leapt into a sea of light!
Thank you, (Captain), for accompanying me all the way to such a far-off town.
The pretty illuminations lighting up the town, the festive decorations on the trees, the warm smiles of passersby...
It all shines more brightly and more beautifully than any jewel I've ever seen.
Which reminds me, rumor has it that any wish you make to the big tree in town on the holy eve is bound to come true.
Any wish, huh...
In order to focus on my goals, I'll have to leave the Grandcypher someday.
But even if that should happen, I...
The individual you all know as Maria Theresa, will continue to be your friend, forever and always.
Should our parting ever come to pass, I hope you'll pay me a visit in Loma from time to time and tell me about your travels.
And I would also consider it a blessing if I'm able to spend the holy eve with you again, (Captain).
Haha, sorry to be a downer on such a special occasion.
Well then! Let us get back into the swing of things by touring town!
The night ends far too quickly, so let's enjoy it while we can.

Mariah

Season's greetings, (Captain)!
Let's celebrate by getting stuffed on roasted chicken and pie! Yum!

Hey, (Captain)! Shhh!
Take a look at this spread!
All the crew members with culinary skills came out to shine for tonight's dinner!
How can you not pig out when it's right in front of you? All this tension is bad for the body.
The only cure is to snatch a few secret bites, but they've put up a strong defense...
All right, that's it. You and I are going in. Time to form a strategy!

Happy holidays, (Captain)!
I was about to head into the woods to do some chopping.
No, not for firewood. I'm getting us a tree for the big day.
Hm, but now that I think about it, I probably can't carry it alone.
I guess I didn't think it all the way through...
I was so focused on getting a huge tree so I could see the smiles of all the kids in the crew that I—
Oh, you'll help me lug it back? Thanks, (Captain)! You're a lifesaver!
What, are you accusing me of wanting to rope you in from the beginning?
No way. I totally didn't plot anything... Hahaha...

Oh, (Captain). Happy holidays!
Thanks for helping me carry the tree again this year!
We bagged ourselves an even bigger one than before! The kids will love this.
Huh? How are we going to decorate this?
Ahaha! It's obvious. We're going to climb the tree! We'll make it so it doesn't wobble. No worries.
I'm good at climbing. You just watch. I'll be at the top in a flash!
I have an idea. Let's see which one of us can get to the top first, okay? We'll decorate after that!

???: ...
(Captain) suddenly shoots up in bed, sensing someone else in the room.
Mairah: Whoa! Sorry for waking you.
Ahaha... This Santa thing isn't as easy as it looks.
Yeah, I just thought I'd go around leaving presents by all the kids' beds. Here, (Captain)! This one's for you!
It's a tool for weapon maintenance. I picked out one that was easy to use!
The other kids' gifts are all in this bag—things like plushies and other toys.
I can't wait for morning to come. I just know they'll all be delighted.
Oh, you'd like to try your hand at being Santa too, (Captain)? Sure, let's do it together!

Marquiares

Why, hello there, Captain. Planning on having a celebratory feast this evening?
If you need help with anything... I don't suppose I could lend a hand?
I hear you need help with the tree. And with decorating the ship in festive, glittering colors.
One of my eruptions should make the Grandcypher plenty glittering, I figure.
Fweh heh heh... That was a joke. Hoowee... Maybe I overdid it?

Fwah-hah-hah! Happy holidays!
Oh, (Captain). What's that worried look on your face about?
Come on, pipe up now! Let's hear it.
Wh-what! The chicken hasn't been put in the oven yet!
This is most grave! Hurry! We must hurry and prepare the chicken!
On your mark, get ready, get set...
Gooooo!
There! Now it's well-roasted!

Happy holidays. Are you as ready as can be, (Captain)?
Mmph, (Captain)... This cake is a bit plain, don't you think?
We're celebrating the holidays, so this needs to be a bit flashier! More explosive!
We could use my supernal...
Hm? Everyone is going to decorate it later, so there's no need for that, you say?
Then we'll need some supernal fireworks in order to really make the decorations sparkle...
Huh? No big explosions?
O-of course I'll keep it tame. I know, I know. Fweh heh heh...

Happy holidays!
Now, now, no need to make that frowny face at me. I'm fully aware of what today entails.
A holy night such as tonight's isn't supposed to be spent with explosions.
So I baked a cake instead. You and the children in the crew like cake, right?
'Course you do. Don't be modest. It's a mountain of a cake, so load up on the sugary goodness.
It's my own special concoction of supernal-infused batter and cream! I guarantee flavor you'll never forget!

Brrr, it is cold... The weather's unbearable this time of year.
Won't be much of a holiday feast tonight if we're shaking in our shoes...
You think so too? Hmmm, how about a little bit of explosive magic to heat things up?
I-I'm joking. But still, we'll turn into ice cubes if we don't do something...
Oh! What if I light the fireplace using the flames from my explosive magic?
We'll be nice and toasty after that! Time for a holy night...
Holiday roaaast!

Happy holidays! Santa must be nuts to be delivering all those presents for free! He could make a fortune!
But maybe he's just a good person. A bit like you!

Hey, (Captain), did you see? There's gonna be a real feast tonight!
The best cooks in the crew are trying to outdo each other, I heard.
The table's overflowing already. I wonder if we can finish it all... Then again, there are plenty of crew members, so maybe we can?
Hm? I seem excited? I guess so... Maybe.
To gather with friends and have a great meal without worry...
It may seem like everyday to you, but for me it's a special occasion! Ha-ha!

Ah, (Captain)! Happy holidays...
Ahhh... It's nothing really. I'm just a little worn out from all the hustle and bustle.
I sent a greeting card to Altos and that old codger. Syr said that I should.
Hm... I wonder if the card was good enough... Feels like it needed something more...
I probably should've talked to you before I sent it out actually. Next time though you'll lend me an ear, won't you?

So I just put it through here and...
Ah, (Captain), how are holiday preparations coming along?
Me? I'm making decorations for the tree.
This himmeli here is furnished from straw and string. I'll admit it looks kind of plain though.
The old man made himmeli every year to pray for a bountiful harvest.
But in my case...
Ah!
Treasure, treasure galore—by my bedside!
Ahaha! I wish!

Huh? (Captain)? You're awake too?
Me? Ehehe, just taking a little walk before bed!
Tonight's party was so much fun. I'm trying to keep it all fresh in my head.
How about you? You're using this time to hand out presents to the little kiddies in the crew?
That's great! Ahaha, I'm sure everyone'll be so happy! I can already picture Syr making a big deal out of it when he wakes up!
Oopsie, I should keep it down. Wouldn't want them waking up before they even get the presents.
Oh, of course! The identity of this year's Santa will be our secret to keep.

Well, it's the merriest day of the year. I guess that explains why the kids are so excited.
But something weird happened. People are supposed to find presents next to their pillows when they wake up today, right?
I didn't find anything next to mine... Do you think it's because I'm a primal beast?
Hey, what's so funny?
It's not like I even wanted anything! I just heard about the custom and thought it was odd not to find anything!

(Captain), have you told Santa Claus what you want for the holidays yet?
I mean, 'cause you and Lyria are still kids in a way. And Santa gives present to all the little kiddies.
Hey, quit teasing me! I know I'm no kid anymore and won't be getting any presents!
Grr, don't you laugh at me, (Captain)!
Keep it up, and you'll be on Santa's naughty list!
So stop chuckling already!

That Santa Claus guy... He gives presents to good kids, right?
I-I'm not asking for myself! I'm asking for Medusiana!
If it's only good kids that get something, then Medusiana deserves the best for always helping me out so much.
Besides, I'm not a kid, so why would I be asking for a present!
N-not that I'd mind getting one at the same time as Medusiana...
Anyway, I'm just thinking out loud! I'm not asking for anything, got it?

Hey, it was you, wasn't it? You can't trick me.
Y-you know... The present!
You're the one who prepared it, right? Since it's there, I guess I'll be nice and accept it!
So I just wanted to say thanks...
Huh? You didn't put it there? Does that mean it's from...
Wow, I'm impressed. I can't believe Santa Claus gave me this... Hehehe...
Wait, what am I grinning about? It's not like I'm super happy about it or anything...
Aaah, stop it! Wipe that smile off your face this instant!

Here. A holiday present from me to you.
What, it's not weird, right? You're supposed to give gifts on the holy night.
I've never given you one before today? You never miss a thing, do you.
Truth is, I was going to give this to Santa Claus last year.
But I haven't seen him at all, so I figured it'd go to waste at this rate.
Besides, I can just use the one I prepared for you while you take his...
Y-you didn't hear that last part! Anyway, you better be grateful to Santa Claus!

So stop chuckling already!

That Santa Claus guy... He gives presents to good kids, right?
I-I'm not asking for myself! I'm asking for Medusiana!
If it's only good kids that get something, then Medusiana deserves the best for always helping me out so much.
Besides, I'm not a kid, so why would I be asking for a present!
N-not that I'd mind getting one at the same time as Medusiana...
Anyway, I'm just thinking out loud! I'm not asking for anything, got it?

Hey, it was you, wasn't it? You can't trick me.
Y-you know... The present!
You're the one who prepared it, right? Since it's there, I guess I'll be nice and accept it!
So I just wanted to say thanks...
Huh? You didn't put it there? Does that mean it's from...
Wow, I'm impressed. I can't believe Santa Claus gave me this... Hehehe...
Wait, what am I grinning about? It's not like I'm super happy about it or anything...
Aaah, stop it! Wipe that smile off your face this instant!

Here. A holiday present from me to you.
What, it's not weird, right? You're supposed to give gifts on the holy night.
I've never given you one before today? You never miss a thing, do you.
Truth is, I was going to give this to Santa Claus last year.
But I haven't seen him at all, so I figured it'd go to waste at this rate.
Besides, I can just use the one I prepared for you while you take his...
Y-you didn't hear that last part! Anyway, you better be grateful to Santa Claus!

Medusa (Valentine)

Well, it's the merriest day of the year. I guess that explains why the kids are so excited.
But something weird happened. People are supposed to find presents next to their pillows when they wake up today, right?
I didn't find anything next to mine... Do you think it's because I'm a primal beast?
Hey, what's so funny?
It's not like I even wanted anything! I just heard about the custom and thought it was odd not to find anything!

(Captain), have you told Santa Claus what you want for the holidays yet?
I mean, 'cause you and Lyria are still kids in a way. And Santa gives present to all the little kiddies.
Hey, quit teasing me! I know I'm no kid anymore and won't be getting any presents!
Grr, don't you laugh at me, (Captain)!
Keep it up, and you'll be on Santa's naughty list!
So stop chuckling already!

Meg (Event)

Wow, look at all the pretty illuminations in town!
What a special night this is. Wouldn't you say so, (Captain)?
It was always incredibly busy at the cafe back home around this time of year, so I could never really enjoy the festivities.
Not like I had anyone to enjoy the festivities with anyway. Ahaha...
Hey, (Captain). When we're walking together, doesn't it feel like...
Like we're a couple?
Pfft! Sorry about that! Lost myself for a second...
I was trying to make you laugh with a joke, but I guess it backfired!
I'm serious though when I say that I'm having a lot of fun just walking around with you, (Captain).

Hey (Captain), do you believe in Santa Claus?
I do. I got a present from him when I was little, you know.
If you could wish for anything right now, what would you wish for? Lemme guess—peace for everyone in the crew?
As for me, hmm... I don't know. Maybe nothing in particular.
What, were you expecting me to say "peace in Auguste" or something? It's true that I do wish for that, but...
I want to protect the things important to me myself!
But I guess it'd be a waste if I didn't wish for anything when I could.
I know! I'll wish for Mari's happiness!
Oh, and yours too, of course!

Oh, (Captain)... Happy holidays...
Huh? I look kind of down? Yeah, I guess you could say something happened... Will you hear me out?
I just got a letter from Mari. I'll read a bit of it out.
"Dear Meg. It's almost the holy night, and the illuminations are just crazy here."
"It's literally the best. Why don't you come over for a visit?"
"Come to Auguste and let's spend a nice and cozy winterguste together."
The letter ended up arriving late and I just saw this... It's already the holy night.
Ahh, this isn't fair! I bet a winterguste with Mari would've been super nice!
I wanted to see the illuminations and eat some delicious seafood!
...
What do you think a "winterguste" is anyway?

Ursula: ...
Alerted to a presence, (Captain) awakens in the middle of the night.
Ursula: Sharrrk!
Meg: Aw, we goofed. you were supposed to stay nice and quiet...
Sorry, (Captain)! I asked Ursula to place my holiday present to you by your pillow...
She was convinced she could do it without waking you, but ah well...
Really sorry! You can go back to bed now!
I'll leave the present here! You can check it out in the morning!
Good night!
Ursula: Sharrrk!

Meg: Oh, (Captain). Happy holidays!
Mari: Season's greetings, (Captain)!
Meg: Mari and I are taking a little trip through town. The sparkly lights everywhere are so pretty.
Mari: Hey, Meg! Let's go that way next.
Meg: Sure! Care to join us, (Captain)?
Mari: Huh?
((Captain) is coming? Nothing against the captain, I guess, but of all the nights...)
(I'm sure (Captain)'s going to turn the conversation to stuff I wasn't around for and try to freeze me out...)
(And if so, could I just take it... No, that'd mean all-out war!)
(So be it... Let the battle begin! We'll paint the town red—blood red!)
(I won't let anyone get in the way of my special night with Meg, even if it kills—)
Feeling a sudden chill, (Captain) decides to return to the Grandcypher ahead of them.
Meg: Are you feeling okay, Captain? You don't have a cold, do you?
Mari: Aw, what a shame! Take care of yourself, (Captain)!
Let's go, Meg!
Meg: Huh? Oh, right... Take care, (Captain)!

Happy holidays!
It's really cold today... You look cold too. Which means there's only one thing to do.
I'll wrap you up in my hair! Well? Feeling warmer?
Gasp! The color's draining from your face!
I just wanted to warm you up, but I went too far. Hold on. I'm loosening my grip!
I'm... sorry.

Say, (Captain). What comes to your mind when you think of the holidays?
For me... all it reminds me of is the pain of watching the corn fields wither away.
Where I'm from, it's warm enough for the corn to grow all year round.
Just the thought that there's a time when it'd be too cold for corn to live... Brrr...
That fateful night... That's when I first experienced that kind of horror.
That winter night when Bianco and I retilled the soil of that withered corn patch.
It was so cold that night... So cold...

Happy holidays.
Isn't it around bedtime for good little girls and boys, (Captain)?
Soon Santa will be placing presents right by their pillows.
You should get to bed too if you don't want to miss out.
Feeling cold? Okay, I'll slip under the covers with you.
I'll wrap your body in my hair and spin you around to generate warmth.
I used to do that for my little brothers back home. Haha, good times...

Huh?
You're not feeling all that warm even after I've wrapped you in my hair?
Hm... I guess my locks aren't exactly the most efficient in retaining heat.
There must be something else I can do to keep you warm...
Ah...
Haha, is this any better?
When my kid brothers were still young, I would have a brother on each side as I held their hands for the long walks we took.
Ah, this brings back memories. Do you mind if we take a walk like this?

It's freezing tonight.
Where I grew up, it used to be warm even around the holiday season. So I guess I'm not used to this weather yet.
But I have something here that'll make us forget all about the cold.
Corn potage. My brothers used to love this. I brought enough for you too.
It's sweet and smooth, and it'll warm you from the inside out.
Oh, wait a second. It's pretty hot right now.
Phwoo, phwoo.
There, perfect. Go on, (Captain). Try it.

Happy holidays!
Let's go eat some candy canes! Yum... Look, Sachy's hungry too!

Melleau: La la... La la...
Wow... The city is glowing with sparkly lights. Do you like it, Sachy?
Sachy: ...
Melleau: Hm? You look like you're enjoying it too. Heheh... You're having fun hanging out with me?
I see. I see now... And I'm having fun too. And so is Sachy. That makes for a happy holiday!

I smell cake... Ah, hello there, (Captain)...
I was lazing about in my room when I got a sweet whiff of some cake...
So Sachy and I were just about to hurry and get ourselves a bite...
And that's when you showed up!
Now then, why don't you come along with Sachy and me to have a slice or two?
Huh? You will? I knew we were best buddies!
Well then, I think I'll take my sweet time to satisfy my sweet tooth with a sweet treat... Let's eat!

Happy holidude!
Hey there! I came to invite you to the party!
There's going to be a ton of food, lots of cake—it'll be amazing.
What do you recommend? I want to eat what you like, (Captain).
I think it's gonna be one of my favorites too.
I mean, you and me are buds, right?

Happy holidays, (Captain). I'm helping out with the party today.
The folks in the kitchen asked me to serve the food. It's all fresh off the stove.
I'm always kinda just lazing around, you know. I figured the least I could do was help out during the holidays.
Think of me and Sachy as culinary Santas for the day.
Of course, we have a present for you too. One pipin' hot rotisserie chicken coming right up!
Kay, I'm gonna go pass out the rest. But once I'm done, I'll bring up three servings of cake, so wait for me to come back, all right?

I haven't had a chance to celebrate the holidays these past few years. The PSC's always been right around the corner.
And I'm usually spending all my time in the pit stall tuning my machine. Good luck doing anything festive in there.
It's really bustling here though. I'm worried about losing focus, but you have to relax from time to time.

All right, just tighten this bolt here... that should do it.
Oh! What's up, (Captain)? Sorry, I was just performing some maintenance on the Blue Orbit.
Ah, today's the holiday, huh? Totally slipped my mind.
Okay, then! Should we head out?
It'll be nice to take a break outside tonight, especially with you, (Captain).

Ah, there you are, (Captain)!
I was looking all over for you. Any chance you're free right now? We should head out!
Hm, a speedship? Nah, that'd be overkill. I'm talking about a good ol' walk.
C'mon, it's fun to just hang out around town once in a while.
I mean, today is the holy eve after all...

Hm. This should be everything we were asked to buy, right?
Hey, what's that look for? Don't sweat it. I was already done with maintenance so it's not like I had anything else to do.
We should head back now though.
Huh? What's that?
They're setting up food stalls? I guess we did hear that shop owner saying something about that.
All right, let's go check it out then!
No one said we couldn't take a detour.
Besides, there's nothing like a bit of food for some holiday cheer.

The toolbox goes on the shelf in the back. Yup, you can just leave it there.
I'm really glad you came to help. The Blue Orbit's maintenance check went by in a flash today thanks to you.
All right... Let's get going then.
I heard they're going to light up the town plaza tonight, so I was hoping we could go check it out together.
Fixing the ship didn't take as long as I thought, so we've still got a bit of time before it starts...
Since it's the holy night, why don't we find a nice place to sit and take it easy while we wait?

Oh, hello, (Captain)! Over here, now. Why? To hang out, obviously.
Where are we going? To buy some new clothes, duh.

Hm? You're still awake?

Hehe... You know... That I know, right?
You were pretending to sleep, weren't you?
Haha. Did you think I wouldn't notice? Why are you getting so tense? You're just so adorable!
What did... you think I would do to you on this holiest night... in your room?
Hehe... Don't try to hide it. I saw your eyes open when I headed for the door.

Season's greetings, (Captain)!
Hey, listen to this, would you? I got so many invitations tonight from all kinds of guys...
Hehe... Oh, what's a girl to do? Maybe I'll have them all come over at the same time.
Bahaha! Look at your face. Oh, you're just adorable!
Well, this makes things easy... How's this? I'll just spend the night in your room instead.
Surely you'll be able to keep me entertained all night long... Right?

Ha... Ha... Happy holidays!
But, I've got to say... I'm just a tad tired of partying with everyone.
Hey, what do you say we go somewhere? Just the two of us?
Oh, I'd love to—long as you're on board.

It's been a while since I've gone out celebrating for the holidays.
I'm usually working around this time of year. Plenty of money to be made!
Oh, I almost forgot! I have this for you. It's nothing really. Just a little something.

The city sure is lively. Everyone looks so happy out there.
I look happy too? You might be right.
Huh? Is that really so surprising?
I've had a few happy moments as of late, you know.
Spending so much time on the ship is probably responsible. Nothing wrong with that.

There you are. Right on time.
I know. You're here to invite me to the holiday party, aren't you?
Thinking about it, this is the third time I've spent the holidays with you, isn't it?
All right. I'll go to the party with you. I kind of like spending this time of the year with you.
What? Don't get used to it, I'm not always in this mood.

(Captain), the holiday party is about to begin.
Is it strange for me to be the one telling you? I'm sure you were planning to invite me anyway.
I wasn't looking forward to it, particularly. Predicting what your client will want is part of a hired hand's bag of tricks.
This year's cake? I'm not especially looking forward to that either. I simply need to understand the power of the people I'm dealing with.
Why are you smiling? We need to get to the party right away.

You're late, (Captain). Everyone's been waiting for you.
Well, you look awfully surprised. Is it such a shocker that I got here before you?
Oh, it's just a coincidence that someone in the crew got to me and had me join the party before you had a chance to speak to me.
Though I'll admit I'm a bit startled to be invited by someone other than you.
I suppose I should just be glad I get to see that reaction on your face.
But enough talk—let's get inside already.
The party's not gonna get started without a toast from you, (Captain).

Milleore and Sahli Lao

Milleore: Oh, (Captain). Surprised to see me at the party?
Sahli Lao: I invited her. It's a special night, so I thought we might as well enjoy it together.
Milleore: I'm not the biggest fan of noisy places, but showing your face every once in a while is part of a mercenary's job.
Though I do leave all the tiresome social etiquette to Lao. Engaging in dull pleasantries isn't my thing.
Sahli Lao: Except you talk to (Captain) and a bunch of others in the crew pretty often. Maybe you don't hate it as much as you think you do.
Milleore: I've simply gotten used to it. People tend to gather around (Captain), so chances for conversation naturally arise.
Sahli Lao: Haha, so she says... But you should know, (Captain), she rarely smiles like that around other people.
Milleore: Well, it's tiring, but it's not all that bad.

Milleore: I have to say, it's quite cold this holy night.
Sahli Lao: Yes, I heard the cold weather will be quite severe this year. How I miss the kotatsu back on the ship...
Since we got everything we needed to get, let's head back before we catch a cold.
Milleore: Right.
Sahli Lao: Hm? What's the matter, Milly?
Milleore: I never used to mind chilly weather like this... before we started journeying with (Captain).
Sahli Lao: You think so? Hm, now that you mention it, I guess you're right.
Milleore: I wonder if it's because we've gotten so used to the warmth of the crew.
Sahli Lao: I think it's less the warmth, and more our mental state. We're able to notice these changes because we can afford to now.
Milleore: Ah, wording. But you're not wrong—that's probably it.
It's clear how much we've grown since we started traveling with (Captain).
Sahli Lao: Yes. That's why we came out today, after all—to buy a present for (Captain) as a sign of our appreciation.
I hope the captain likes it.
Milleore: Me too. Let's go and put it next to (Captain)'s pillow before anyone notices.

Milleore: Santa Claus... I am curious.
Sahli Lao: Oho, rare of you to take interest in something like that, Milly. Do you have an item you're hoping to get as a present?
Milleore: Not really. It's not like I want to receive a gift—what I'm interested in is the sleigh.
Santa Claus delivers presents to all the children in the skies in a single night, right?
A sleigh with that sort of performance, durability, and speed... It must be a superior vehicle. I'm sure it'd be useful for mercenaries.
So I really just want to see the sleigh.
I mean, if there are presents, I'll take them of course.
Sahli Lao: Hehe. I hope you can meet Santa Claus this year, Milly.

Sahli Lao: Happy holidays, (Captain)!
Milleore: The party's off to a great start this year. It looks like everyone's really enjoying themselves.
Sahli Lao: Hehe, it's funny hearing you saying something like that, Milly.
Milleore: What do you mean?
Sahli Lao: You'd always say how social events just weren't your thing.
Milleore: I mean, you get used to it year after year.
And it's not that hard to relax with all these familiar faces around me.
Sahli Lao: Hehe. Watching you have fun makes me happy.
Milleore: Hey, don't start teasing me now.
But honestly, it's not bad. Having events like this from time to time is a good way to let go of stress.
Sahli Lao: You're right. Let's have lots of fun today.
Milleore: And so that's what we'll be doing. We'll see you around.
Sahli Lao: Excuse us, (Captain).

Mimlemel

Happy holidays.
Gimme something.

Happy day.
I want stump cake.
Give it to me.
Tootle-too!

Not sleeping tonight. I'll see if you're real, Santa.
Then I'll hunt you down.

Happy holidays.
Now get over here and sit.
There's a trap in the street. Tonight we hunt Santa together.

Season's greets. Where were you hiding? I looked everywhere for you.
This is our scheduled time to go Santa-hunting every year.
I'll give you some of the credit too this time.

Mimlemel (Summer)

Mimlemel: I really want to see Santa. But this outfit's cold.
Turtleton: I'm with you, little lady. I don't think you'd be able to pry me away from this hearth.
It might be nice to spend this special night in a warm, toasty room. Don't you agree, (Captain)?

Mimlemel: It's too bad there's not more holiday food for Turtleton.
Turtleton: Ohoho... The sentiment alone is enough to make my holidays, little lady.
Besides, seeing you and (Captain) satisfy your palates fills me up more than any food possibly could.

Mimlemel: Ah, (Captain). I won't give up my spot in front of the fireplace, so don't even ask.
Turtleton's comfortable here, and this way my fried chicken won't get cold. Great real estate.
Turtleton: Hoho, now look here, little lady. I'm glad you care for me, but it's not very nice to turn away a friend.
(Captain), why don't you hop on my shell, and we'll all nestle closer to the fire?
We'll make this holy night the coziest one yet.

Mimlemel: I grabbed the spot in front of the fireplace for us. What did you bring?
Chicken, cake, and... Oh, this is seaweed for Turtleton.
Nice. You can sit on his shell with me.
Turtleton: Hoho, what good fortune to be able to spend the holy night with you and the little lady again this year, (Captain).
I had heard that someone named "Santa Claus" is supposed to be giving out presents tonight, but...
What need do I have for him when I have you two?

Mimlemel and Pun-Kin (Halloween)

Mimlemel: Hm? What's this? Something happen during my nap?
Pun-Kin: Wow, wow, wowie, wow! Look at the snowy-white snow covering the ground! Isn't it beautiful, Princess?
About time we got back though... Uh-oh, the wheel tracks are all covered up by the snow now... Which way do we go again?

Pun-Kin: Princess! That mysterious old man they call Santa is in town!
I wonder where he is? I've looked all over, but I can't find him anywhere!
Mimlemel: Nnh? What are you doing outside? And I was having such a good nap after my snack too.

Mimlemel: There's leftover food. Let's take it back to my room.
Pun-Kin: Aww, Princess! Don't you know I might just gobble up whatever yummy food you chuck into my mouth?
Mm, that smells so good... I bet she won't notice if it's just a bit of chicken leg... Chomp...

Mimlemel: A winter feast? I'm trying to catch Santa. This is bad timing.
I guess I could secure the cake, then head out to capture Santa.
Pun-Kin: Leave it to me, Princess! Time to make good use of the transportation tricks Stumpeye's taught me and protect the cake!
I'll keep things steady so the cake doesn't fall over... Oh, and I'll try not to eat it...
Mmm, just imagining the cake's making me drool! Princess, hurry and find Santa before I give in to the temptation!

Mimlemel: Good. I successfully secured a chicken.
It's the perfect bait to lure Santa in. You, come help me lay the trap.
Pun-Kin: Wow, it smells so good... The princess picked out the perfect bird!
Om-nom... Tastes good too! Santa'll love—
Ah, I ate the whole thing!
I'll give him some sweets from my special stash instead!

Mimlemel and Stumpeye

Mimlemel: Blah...
Stumpeye: Sorry. As you can see, she's sleeping like a log. We should let her sleep in today.

Mimlemel: Winter feast? Don't want it. Appetite's gone. Unless there's Mont Blanc...
Stumpeye: You poor thing. One Mont Blanc coming right up! These wheels spin quadruple time!

Mimlemel: Blah... No motivation to do anything...
If I don't get to see Santa, I'll wither and die...
Stumpeye: Hang in there, Mim! One Santa comin' up! I'll track him down for ya!
(Captain)! Where do I find this Santa chap? I need to know how to nab 'im!

Mimlemel: Where's Santa...
Stumpeye: What bollocks... How is it we've been lookin' fer a year now, and there's still no word of the fella...
C'mon, Captain! You've gotta help us out!
I wanna present Mim wit' Santa in the flesh!

Mimlemel: Is this... Santa?
Stumpeye: (Captain), was it you who put that sugared Santa on top of the cake?
Santa was so busy you couldn't get a hold of 'im, huh? That's why ya put this on the cake, so Mim can still enjoy the holidays...
Ngh... I'm really tearin' up here. Whaddya think, Mim? Looks like it's gonna be a good winter after all!

Mina

Very good. None of the crew members are doing anything particularly irresponsible.
Hmm? Oh, it's you, (Captain). I was just going around making sure the crew is staying in line.
Enemies could attack us at any time. We have to be ready and at our best, even during times of celebration.
I suppose I think that way because it's my job to support you. People like me never have a day off.
I sure hope you'll come running if something happens, but until that time comes, relax and have a good holiday season.

Mona and Mena... This is what you had in mind the whole time, isn't it? How am I supposed to let anyone see me like—
...!
(Captain)?
Th-this isn't what it looks like! My sisters made me wear this!
I didn't hear that this outfit would be quite so... festive, so I...
W-well, but anyway, (Captain)!
Please take this if you would. It's a holiday present from me.
All right. Now that you've got it, well, I suddenly remembered an urgent errand.
I'm not running off because I want to change into another outfit as soon as I can, or because this one's embarrassing. Definitely not!
(Captain), see you in a bit! H-happy holidays!

Phew... We should have everything we need after that last little supply run.
I'm sorry, (Captain). You were having so much fun at the holiday party when I made you tag along with me.
Y-you're wondering why I'm not wearing a dress like last year?
My face is going to turn as red as a beet if I start thinking about that again...
You might not know, but since I only wore that dress once, Mona and Mena gave me a new one...
N-no! I returned it right away of course! Experiencing that once was more than enough!
The most important part of the holiday is that you spend it with friends and family. What you wear doesn't really matter.
As long as the people you really care for are there by your side, you don't need to dress flashy or—
W-what am I even saying now!
It seems like the holiday spirit has gotten the better of me. Just disregard that silly little comment of mine.
All right, let's head back to the ship. The whole crew's waiting for you, (Captain).

I apologize for making you come shop with me again, (Captain).
Yeah, there's something that I must buy. I plan on stopping by another two or three shops.
But walking through these illuminated streets makes my heart flutter.
Romantic, isn't it? Walking through the streets with someone important to you?
What am I saying?
I... I was just daydreaming! Don't get the wrong impression!
I didn't invite you out for shopping because I wanted to spend the holiday with you or anything!

(Captain), what's that frilly thing in your hands?
Let me guess: Mona and Mena are up to no good again. I hope you're not expecting me to wear it, because I absolutely will not!
Huh? What do you mean it's not meant to be worn? No matter how you look at it—
Wait, it's a square shape... This must be the tablecloth for the holiday party!
My gosh... (Captain), I'm so sorry for casting suspicion on you.
Hm? You have a separate package from Mona? Let's see what's inside...
Now this is a bona fide frilly dress! One made with sparkly lace at that!
Hold it, (Captain)! You're going to explain to me what this is all about!

Mireille and Risette

Mireille: (Captain), have you seen Risette? She's been missing since this morning.
She went grocery shopping for the holiday party?
Oh... I guess I'll see her later then.
Hey, are those party decorations you're making, (Captain)?
I thought so! They're just like the decorations Mother and Father used to make.
Is it okay if I make some too? I always did want to help prepare for a party...
I'm new to this though, so be nice even if my decorations don't turn out too great.
In any case, it's something I need to learn if I want to teach it to my own children some day.

Mireille: (Captain)? What're you doing here all by yourself?
Me? I just wanted some alone time...
Choose: Is something wrong?
No. I was just thinking how... all of this is almost like a dream...
Just a while ago, I never would've expected myself to be able to spend my time like this...
It makes me kind of nervous. I start asking myself if it's really okay for me to be here...
I worry whether I'm out of place here... You know, someone like me.
To be honest, (Captain), I...
Actually, nevermind. I'm sorry I said something weird.
Anyway, I think I'll go back to where Risette is.
See you later, (Captain).

Risette: (Captain)? What are you doing here at this hour?
Me? I am currently preparing food for tonight's party.
Huh? You'd like to help me with the preparations?
Thank you very much.
In that case, can I ask you to mince the vegetables over there?
It would be wonderful if you could chop them as finely as possible.
Mireille will not like them if they are left in a distinguishable size, you see.
Choose: Is she a picky eater?
She is. That is why I need to mince them and mix them into the food so she does not notice.
Also, I'm sorry, but please keep this a secret from Mireille.
I don't think she would be happy if she were to find out.

Mireille:(Some kind of jewelry, or maybe a stuffed animal?) (Some kind of jewelry, or maybe a stuffed animal?)
(Both of those seem awfully commonplace though...)
(I'd like to prepare something that Risette would really be thrilled with...)
Hm...
Choose: What's wrong?
(Captain)? Well isn't that funny, meeting you out—
I know! (Captain), are you free right now?
If you are, would you accompany me for a bit while I do some shopping?
You see... I want to buy a present for Risette, but I can't decide on my own...
You'll help? Thank goodness... I really appreciate it, (Captain).
Sigh... I was really having a hard time, you know? I tried surreptitiously asking her about what she might want, but she said that there isn't anything.
She's anything but materialist, so I suppose that's to be expected, but...
Oh, right. Make sure not to tell her about this, (Captain).
Since I'm going to all of this trouble, I might as well make it a surprise too.
Thank you. Right then, let's get started.

This is the cake I've been hearing about! It's so pretty!
But when it comes to sweets, looks aren't everything. I won't be fooled by its appearance!
Let's eat!
Gozaru! This is just as delicious as anmitsu! Other countries are great at desserts!

Thanks a bunch for inviting me to the seasonal party!
I was just thinking that it'd be nice to study how best to act during such an event!
It'll expand my horizons and deepen my knowledge of foreign cultures.
By the way will that exotic sweet everyone knows as cake be available?
Oh, I definitely don't have any ulterior motives...
Ahaha... Okay, I'll confess.
Truth is, I just want cake!

It's freezing tonight. And there are so many clouds...
Oh! Look, look! It's snowing!
Amazing... I'd always heard about snowy evenings—how breathtaking they are, but...
This really is something special, isn't it?
Um, by the way, shouldn't we get going? To the party, I mean. I'm looking forward to the cake.
Ahaha... You're right. I really do care more about cake than snow!
Reminds me of a saying we have back home. Hana yori dango.

Whew... Buying things for the party is a tougher job than I thought...
There's so many interesting dishes available during the winter season that my eyes can hardly keep up.
Not to mention, every year, we're getting more and more varieties of food and desserts at our crew's party.
Ahaha... Talking about food sure makes you hungry.
Actually, I'm really looking forward to the Valtz roast chicken the main cook for tonight was talking about...
Gozaru! You have your eyes on the chicken too, (Captain)? Well, you can't have it all, okay? Let's split it!
Hehe. We can cut it in half and share it! Aah, I can't wait... But first, we need to bring back these ingredients!
Come on, (Captain)! A delicious feast's waiting for us, so let's do our best to help too!

Ngh... Ninety-seven, ninety-eight, ninety-nine...
One hundred!
Pant... Pant... Oh, (Captain)... I'm just doing my sit-ups...
The crew's winter party is tonight, isn't it?
And my sash has been feeling a bit tight lately, if you know what I mean... But there's no way I'm missing out on the cake.
So of course, the only solution is sit-ups! I can have my cake and my abs too! That's the way of the samurai!
(Captain)? Sorry to bother you, but would you mind holding down my feet? I'm gonna aim for 1,000 in a single set!

This holiday night is one full of memories.
It reminds me of a beloved child I once nurtured...
On this day only, that child could finally be happy, as if the pain and suffering had never existed.
As if they had never contracted that loathsome disease. Those joyful memories will always stay me.
So many memories come flooding back tonight. Hehe, what a wonderful time of the year.

The holy night... It really has meaning for me.
I've told you once of a beloved child, do you remember?
Only on this night, which overflows with spiritual energy, was the child's curse lifted. This was the only night when acting like every other child was allowed.
My heart aches every time I recall...
The memories we made will last me a lifetime...
Hehehe... Oh what a life I have lived...

The holy night is one of many wonders...
To the untrained eye, it appears to be nothing more than a normal day's end. But there is so much power...
I used to wish this power would last all year long.
Hehe... To save my beloved child I was so willing to hope for miracles.
But to do what must be done, I must rely only on my own strength.
I hope one day this night, will be one just like any other for my beloved and I...
I hope one day this silly idea will come to fruition.

Ah, I've found you, (Captain).
Please, kindly accept this medicine. I've been passing it out to all of the members of the crew.
No, it's not a strange medicine. It will help ease your digestive system, given the heaviness of tonight's banquet.
Take it before to prevent bloating; take it after to ease indigestion. It's the perfect remedy for anything that ails your stomach.
Now, I'll be taking this medicine to Zehek as well.
I believe he's fast asleep in his room. He went straight to bed without eating. One wonders if he isn't depressed.
In the event he's lost his appetite, this medicine should allow him to enjoy a slice of cake at least.
Would you grab a few dishes and follow me?
I want him to experience the warmth of the seasons, if only for a little while.

(Captain), why are you carrying those candles?
To adorn Zehek's room? Ah, I see. Since he cannot come down to the feast, you are bringing some good cheer to him.
Hm... Wait here a moment. I'm going to fetch something from my room—another gift I'd like you to give him.
Here. Would you mind delivering this aroma candle for me?
It will help to soothe his throat. When he was young, I used to light them by his bed on nights he couldn't sleep.
Once his coughing subsides, perhaps he'll find the energy to join tonight's festivities after all.
If he does come, I would be very glad if you gave him a warm welcome.

As if they had never contracted that loathsome disease. Those joyful memories will always stay with me.
So many memories come flooding back tonight. Hehe, what a wonderful time of the year.

The holy night... It really has meaning for me.
I've told you once of a beloved child, do you remember?
Only on this night, which overflows with spiritual energy, was the child's curse lifted. This was the only night when acting like every other child was allowed.
My heart aches every time I recall...
The memories we made will last me a lifetime...
Hehehe... Oh what a life I have lived...

The holy night is one of many wonders...
To the untrained eye, it appears to be nothing more than a normal day's end. But there is so much power...
I used to wish this power would last all year long.
Hehe... To save my beloved child I was so willing to hope for miracles.
But to do what must be done, I must rely only on my own strength.
I hope one day this night, will be one just like any other for my beloved and I...
I hope one day this silly idea will come to fruition.

Ah, I've found you, (Captain).
Please, kindly accept this medicine. I've been passing it out to all of the members of the crew.
No, it's not a strange medicine. It will help ease your digestive system, given the heaviness of tonight's banquet.
Take it before to prevent bloating; take it after to ease indigestion. It's the perfect remedy for anything that ails your stomach.
Now, I'll be taking this medicine to Zehek as well.
I believe he's fast asleep in his room. He went straight to bed without eating. One wonders if he isn't depressed.
In the event he's lost his appetite, this medicine should allow him to enjoy a slice of cake at least.
Would you grab a few dishes and follow me?
I want him to experience the warmth of the seasons, if only for a little while.

(Captain), why are you carrying those candles?
To adorn Zehek's room? Ah, I see. Since he cannot come down to the feast, you are bringing some good cheer to him.
Hm... Wait here a moment. I'm going to fetch something from my room—another gift I'd like you to give him.
Here. Would you mind delivering this aroma candle for me?
It will help to soothe his throat. When he was young, I used to light them by his bed on nights he couldn't sleep.
Once his coughing subsides, perhaps he'll find the energy to join tonight's festivities after all.
If he does come, I would be very glad if you gave him a warm welcome.

Happy holidays!
Tonight's the big night, so you had better rest up.

Sigh, what did I get myself into...
Hm? Oh, it's you. My crew has made a rather... unusual bet.
They're wagering whether or not Santa will come to visit me tonight.
Good grief... How old do they think I am, anyway?

Munch, munch...
Hngh! Gulp.
Oh my, who do we have here? I wasn't expecting to run into you.
What business do you have in the kitchen? I'm just making sure none of my comrades are breaking any rules on this holiday...
...
No, I should come clean with you. I don't want to tell you a bad lie.
To have my snack-raiding be exposed by you would be...
You won't say anything about this, right? It'll be our little secret. Hehe.
Well, then! It's time for me to make my patrols like I said I was.
What about you? I think the town's too lively tonight for someone to walk it alone.

Holiday pudding?
Or a buche de fete?
Well, I suppose the holidays aren't really the time to be worrying about overeating.
Excuse me, shopkeeper? I'll have one of each.
Oh. Hello, (Captain). Fancy running into you at this patisserie.
I was just selecting a gift for the rest of the crew on the Grandcypher.
I've already finished with my patrol. And it's the holidays, after all.
Hehehe. Let's celebrate with a fancy meal and some delicious sweets!

You're looking for cake shop recommendations?
Well, you're certainly asking the right person. Even so, the answer isn't as clear-cut as you might think.
There are a plethora of cake varieties, each with their own individuality.
I could take you to the shop that whips up an out-of-this-world cream that everyone agrees is delicious...
Or there's another shop that specializes in fruit-based cakes...
Ergh, but how can you say no to a good tart, or a brownie, or a cheesecake? Hmm...
Okay! It's time to take action instead of wallowing in indecision. Are you free right now?
I suggest we visit every shop on my recommendation list and sample their offerings.

Morphe and Phoebe (Event)

Phoebe: Santa Claus is a lie! He doesn't give presents to all the children of the world.
Morphe: Really? Aw, and I was looking forward to it!
Phoebe: Well... I've never gotten any presents before.
Morphe: Huh? But you've never looked like a kid before now! Santa Claus only gives presents to children!
When you're in primal beast form, you look like an adult! That's why Santa skipped you!
Phoebe: Gasp!

Phoebe: (Captain), open up wide.
Yup, these are from the other crew members. They say you eat cookies in the shape of humans for the holy night and the new year.
Morphe: They say the cookie collects all the evil energy.
Phoebe: But why would anyone eat something that's absorbed evil energy? The cookie must feel so abused...
Morphe: Hmm... If I were a cookie, I guess I'd be happy if someone just loved eating me, right?
Phoebe: Hehe... I hope the cookie is happy. What if it's not? What do you think, (Captain)?
Morphe: Ugh! Sis! Why you gotta go and say that before the captain is even done eating?
Phoebe: Hehe... If the cookie comes for you in your dreams... then I'll protect you.

Phoebe: (Captain), (Captain)... Why don't we go to bed soon?
Morphe: Santa Claus is supposed to come visit while we're asleep!
Winter comes at different times for each island, but still... Touring through an entire island in a single night can't be easy.
Phoebe: Which means us hitting the hay early makes it that much easier for Santa.
Morphe: I got fluffy bed blankets and pillows ready to help us fall fast asleep!
Phoebe: So let's go to bed, (Captain).
I'll read you a storybook and sing you a lullaby or two to help you enter a deep sleep.
... Or would you rather we share my bed? I think it'd be a lot more comfortable that way...
Morphe: Isn't your bed a bit small for two? I'm not sure how that'd be comfy...
Phoebe: ...
Morphe: Yeowch! What's the big idea, Sis? Can you stop with the pinching already?

Phoebe: How would you like a cookie? It's sweet with just a little bit of a zing to it. One bite will chase evil spirits and bad luck away!
Morphe: This year, we helped Ladiva make her special "out with the old" cookies!
After they cooled, we piped on faces and clothes with royal icing!
Phoebe: Please try one, (Captain). Which would you like? I recommend this one with the big smile.
Morphe: Hehe. You should chomp into it with gusto to help blow those evil spirits away!
Phoebe: Hee hee. Eat me, (Captain)! I'm so yummy! Quick, take a bite!
Morphe: Phoebe... I don't think anyone would want to eat a cookie that could talk...
Phoebe: Wait, what? Oh no...

Phoebe: Hey, hey. (Captain). What do you want when it gets cold?
Waah! Wh-where did that hug come from?
When it gets cold, you like to cuddle something warm?
Hmm... Yeah, I like warm things too.
But that's not what I'm asking about!
Morphe: Sis can't decide what to leave out for Santa. The other kids are already going with snacks, so...
She thought an herbal tea might be nice, but it's probably not a safe idea to drink and sled. Too easy to spill.
Phoebe: Is there nothing else I can give him? He must be exhausted from a night of delivering presents.
Morphe: At least he can sleep afterwards. Nothing like a good snooze to chase the weariness away.
Ah! That's it, Sis!
Phoebe: Yeah! I'll show him a pleasant dream as thanks.
Thank you, (Captain)! Here's a hug back for helping out!
Morphe: Hey! No fair! That's two hugs!
I wanna give you a hug too, (Captain)!

Morrigna

Badb: 'Tis a holy night, hear? Skyfarers spend it thinking of the ones they love and offering prayers for their protection.
Neamhan: Perhaps our former charge prayed for his family as well.
It's a pure shame we shall never know if his prayers were answered.
Macha: Oh, forgive us. We must seem like we're one drop away from a drizzle.
Badb: (Captain), who do you cherish?
Neamhan: Whoever it is, I bet when you realized you wanted to protect them, your strength and kindness grew tenfold.
Macha: Teehee. I hope we have that same kind of effect on you, hear.
Badb: And in turn, we'll guide you to a path of glory and fortune.

Badb: The holiday tree is finished...
Neamhan: Hello, (Captain). You've come at a good time.
Some of the other crew members couldn't reach the top of the tree, so they asked us to place the star on top in their stead.
Macha: Isn't it beautiful? Surely everyone will be pleased.
Badb: I wonder if the warmth in my chest is from this wondrous sight...
Whatever the source, this feeling might be something we have desired for a long time.
I'd like to see what the next year brings, and whether or not this warmth will return.

Badb: (Captain)... The sanctuary... Wings... Was that us?
Macha: Teehee. I'm sorry. It must sound like we're putting riddles to you.
Neamhan: We heard a choir singing, which led us into a sanctuary. And we saw a right strange picture there.
Macha: Tis called stained glass, apparently. And there, in shining color, were three winged women. Badb is convinced they're us.
Neamhan: I believe they are another set of primal beasts. Our place is on battlefields stained with blood, not sanctuaries filled with light.
We only hope that we may one day touch the heart of skydwellers and be worthy of worship, rather than fear.

Badb: Why, (Captain). 'Tis a joy to see you here.
Macha: We were invited to the holiday party by the other crew folk.
Neamhan: But we're not accustomed to such hustle and bustle. It could be folly that finds us, hear.
Macha: If you were to join us, (Captain), that might give us the wee bit o' courage we need to see the craic through.
Badb: My, it would be lovely to see the customs of mortals up close.
Neamhan: Can you imagine, girls? On such a cold night, we may actually find ourselves amidst the warmth of new friendship.

Badb: Santa Claus... We must offer presents...
Neamhan: I believe Badb means to use Santa Claus as an example and would like to give gifts to the many crew members tonight.
Macha: Those with whom our fate intertwines often find themselves facing death's door, but we would still like to give thanks somehow.
Will you assist us, (Captain)? It goes without saying that we have a special present for you as well.
Neamhan: Our gift pales in comparison to all that you've bestowed upon us.
Badb: But we would be honored if you would be so gracious as to accept it. Please, receive our thoughts, feelings, and this offering to you.

Ms. Miranda

(Captain), happy holidays!
Right now I'm out hunting for the perfect wine to bring to the school party.
If you're not busy, would you like to join our party too?
We've got a big ol' roasted chicken, strawberry cake, and of course my expertly curated beverages... Although you'll have to make do with juice.
Teehee, I must remember not to get soused in front of an impressionable captain.
Everyone at Mysteria would love to see you there, especially me!

(Captain)! Just the student I was hoping to find!
Right now everyone's working hard on making their own Santa costumes.
The problem is they're having trouble picturing how it should fall on the body.
Would you be a dear and stand in as a model for us?
I can't think of a more inspiring person to get the creative juices flowing.
Choose: Sure.
Thank you! Let me show you to the changing room.
Of course you won't come away empty-handed. You'll get your very own handmade Santa costume to fill your wardrobe!
I bet you can't wait to try them on!

Oh, (Captain)! Perfect timing!
I've got a special request just for you, (Captain)!
Could you put on this Santa Claus outfit for me?
I put all my heart into making this brand new costume...
But no one's willing to try it on for me! Everyone says it's embarrassing...
Will you do it for me? Pretty please?
Thank you so much, (Captain)!
In return, you can look forward to your present!
I've whipped up something nice for you.
It's Ms. Miranda's special handmade clothing set!
Everything was carefully picked out and made with love! I'm sure it'll match you perfectly!
Okay, enough chitchat for now! Why don't you go ahead and get changed?
I can't wait to see what you'll look like!

Happy holidays, (Captain).
Hehe. Tonight is the night for giving gifts. You know, I don't entirely mind this season.
What? You think I must be cold in this outfit? Hah. Don't be silly.

Naoise

Even in my hometown of Irestill, this time of year is known to be special.
So when I spend time with friends like this, it reminds me of the old days.
You know, Seruel always used to look forward to Heles's cake and my tea.

(Captain)? What's the matter? You should be spending this special time with someone close to you. Are you not going to be with Lyria and the others?
...!
You've come to be with me? You humble me on this day.
Back on Alster Island, it was common to pray for good fortune on this night.
But I will spend this night with you. No, it would be my pleasure to spend it with you.
Nothing makes me happier than hearing that you count me as someone close to you, (Captain).

I considered offering my assistance for tonight's supper, but I fear I may just be a hindrance.
Memories of my childhood at Emmain Macha came to mind—one winter night in particular.
I roamed the halls together with Heles and Seruel, eager to help prepare supper or decorate the castle halls.
Ultimately, we ended up knocking over a pot of boiling water, and my mother scolded the three of us.
I remember trembling in utter terror at my mother at the time, but looking back now I feel nothing but warm nostalgia—life is strange like that, isn't it?

Speaking of the holy night, as a child I would always leave candy by my pillow for Santa Claus.
In Alster Island, we use wheat and honey to bake a special treat for that very purpose.
If I remember right, it was the first thing that Heles ever baked. Ah, the memories.
I do not recall how many years ago it was, but there came a time when Heles decided to make some on her own. Even her mother was shooed out of the kitchen.
I fulfilled my duty as a food taster, praising her for the confection's wonderful taste. But doing so only brought me blame.
She wondered why I did not point out her accidental use of salt in lieu of sprinkles.
From all the perspiration that a knight undergoes during training, it is only natural to find salt savory.
That is why I enjoyed her confection so.
Hm?
You believe that my inimitable taste buds are the problem, not the perspiration?
(Captain), your words confound me...

Season's greetings, (Captain). Would you like some baked goods for a snack?
My mother sent them from back home. These are the treats I mentioned last year—the ones we'd present to Santa Claus each year.
It was common to enjoy the leftovers with tea on the day following the holy night. Ah, the memories.
As plain as they may be, it would bring me immense joy to see you relishing their taste, (Captain).
Hm? It appears my mother left a message on this wrapper...
"Please understand that Naoise was born with his inimitable taste buds."
"However, both Seruel and Heles have given the treats their highest rating from a young age, so you may safely rejoice in their taste."
...? Mother? What do you mean?

Naoise (Fire)

Twenty years ago, on a holy night much like this one, we secretly left the castle as snow fell from the sky.
Heles was intent on showing Seruel the town and its people... I followed as best I could behind them.
We saw house after house decorated with bright lights, and observed the kind citizens sharing their joy. The sights were as beautiful as a starry night sky.
Through our adventure, Heles impressed upon Seruel that the royal family existed to protect its people's happiness.
Heles understood, from a young age, the importance of her duties and always strove to fulfill them to the best of her ability.
She's always held strength and determination beyond her years... Only now do I realize and admire it.
But I would be remiss in hoping to compare myself to her level of resolve and commitment.
Though I will never be as pure as the white snow... The least I can do is ensure I never misuse this power within me.

Naoise: Phew...
Accompanied by his mother, Naoise single-handedly carries a large tree onto the Grandcypher.
Choose: You're carrying it by yourself?
Naoise: Ah, Captain! Happy holidays.
Ever since awakening as a dragonian, my strength has increased tenfold... This tree feels as light as a feather.
Elisheba: Remember that this power is a blessing from Lady Scathacha, so be sure to use it to assist (Captain), okay?
Naoise: Of course, Mother. Strength is meaningless without having others to protect.
Elisheba: It wasn't so long ago you used to try and help in the kitchen, only to end up knocking over all sorts of pots and pans.
And now look at you, using your strength to be (Captain)'s little helper. You've done a mother proud.
Naoise: (Captain)'s little... helper?
The captain inadvertently lets out a giggle at Naoise's inability to argue with his mother.
Naoise: It appears I still have much to learn, (Captain).

Naoise: Ah! Please be careful, 乾杯!
The captain sits atop Naoise's shoulders, hanging decorations on an enormous tree.
Seruel: (Captain), if you make large movements like that, even Naoise will lose his balance.
Unless you wish to spend the holidays in the infirmary, I ask that you make an attempt to heighten your focus.
Naoise: My apologies, (Captain). If only I could anticipate your movements more accurately...
Seruel: You shouldn't indulge the captain, Naoise.
And (Captain), try to keep your antics to a minimum as well.
Otherwise, I'll have to bestow the honor of placing the star on top to someone else.
Naoise: Seruel...
Speaking of placing the star, it was customary for you to do so on the castle tree in Irestill, wasn't it?
Seruel: My sister had every right to handle the role, but she always gave it to me for whatever reason.
Naoise: Heh. That just goes to show how kind Heles is.
Seruel: That was kindness? Well, perhaps she had more compassion at her core than her little brother was able to see...
Naoise: Indeed. Even though she was labeled a tomboy, she was a fine princess who always acted out of consideration for those around her.

Even in my hometown of Irestill, this time of year is known to be special.
So when I spend time with friends like this, it reminds me of the old days.
You know, Seruel always used to look forward to Heles's cake and my tea.

(Captain)? What's the matter? You should be spending this special time with someone close to you. Are you not going to be with Lyria and the others?
...! You've come to be with me? You humble me on this day.
Back on Alster Island, it was common to pray for good fortune on this night.
But I will spend this night with you. No, it would be my pleasure to spend it with you.
Nothing makes me happier than hearing that you count me as someone close to you, (Captain).

I considered offering my assistance for tonight's supper, but I fear I may just be a hindrance.
Memories of my childhood at Emmain Macha came to mind—one winter night in particular.
I roamed the halls together with Heles and Seruel, eager to help prepare supper or decorate the castle halls.
Ultimately, we ended up knocking over a pot of boiling water, and my mother scolded the three of us.
I remember trembling in utter terror at my mother at the time, but looking back now I feel nothing but warm nostalgia—life is strange like that, isn't it?

Speaking of the holy night, as a child I would always leave candy by my pillow for Santa Claus.
In Alster Island, we use wheat and honey to bake a special treat for that very purpose.
If I remember right, it was the first thing that Heles ever baked. Ah, the memories.
I do not recall how many years ago it was, but there came a time when Heles decided to make some on her own. Even her mother was shooed out of the kitchen.
I fulfilled my duty as a food taster, praising her for the confection's wonderful taste. But doing so only brought me blame.
She wondered why I did not point out her accidental use of salt in lieu of sprinkles.
From all the perspiration that a knight undergoes during training, it is only natural to find salt savory.
That is why I enjoyed her confection so.
Hm?
You believe that my inimitable taste buds are the problem, not the perspiration?
(Captain), your words confound me...

Season's greetings, (Captain). Would you like some baked goods for a snack?
My mother sent them from back home. These are the treats I mentioned last year—the ones we'd present to Santa Claus each year.
It was common to enjoy the leftovers with tea on the day following the holy night. Ah, the memories.
As plain as they may be, it would bring me immense joy to see you relishing their taste, (Captain).
Hm? It appears my mother left a message on this wrapper...
"Please understand that Naoise was born with his inimitable taste buds."
"However, both Seruel and Heles have given the treats their highest rating from a young age, so you may safely rejoice in their taste."
...? Mother? What do you mean?

Happy holidays, (Captain)!
It's freezing today. Maybe we should huddle up together for warmth?
Hee hee... Come on, I don't bite! Hee hee...

Happy holidays!
(Captain)! (Captain)! It's the most magical time of the year!
We just sat in front of the fireplace last year, so...
Wanna go into town this year as a change of pace? Hehe, here! Take my hand!
Hehe, we're gonna have so much fun today, (Captain)!

You know, there was a time when I went away to train all alone on a remote snowy mountain.
Back then snow was nothing to me, but something that was cold and white.
But not anymore. Now I think it looks absolutely beautiful. Makes my heart flutter when I see those little flakes falling.
I bet it's because I'm not all by my lonesome self anymore. Because I'm with a special someone.
Psst, (Captain). Mind if we... cuddle a little?
Hehe. Let's just stay like this for a while.

Happy holidays, (Captain)! What a beautiful night this is.
Teehee, this is the fourth time I've been able to spend this special day with you. It makes me so happy...
What sort of present do you want? I'm ready to give you anything...
Hm? You just want me by your side?
Ehehe... It's the same with me. Just having you nearby fills me with endless satisfaction.
I guess we make the perfect holiday gifts for each other. Ehehe.

Happy holidays, (Captain)!
It makes me so happy to wish you season's greetings like this every year.
Just seeing your face warms my heart right up.
The cold doesn't stand a... Ah... Achoo!
Oh my! I'm sorry, (Captain)! Don't worry, I'm fine...
Oh... Your hands are so warm...
Ehehe... Now you're warming me up, inside and out.
I'm somehow even happier than I was before. Can we stay like this a little while longer?

Nectar

Shinsha once told me a fairy tale about a Santa Claus who hands out presents.
Though it wasn't until after coming out into the world that I learned of those who imitate the jolly old man by donning a red costume during the winter holidays.
I have been thinking... If the treat-receiver puts on a costume for Halloween, and the gift-giver puts on a costume for the holy night...
Would it also not be apropos to don a costume for White Day, another occasion where material goods are given?
You do not think so? The meaning of the gift and the costume differs by holiday?
Hm, the affairs of people are quite fascinating. I'll have to ask Shinsha for her thoughts on White Day as well.

(Captain) is returning to the bedroom when the sound of Shinsha and Nectar's voices catches the captain's attention.
Shinsha: I've prepared some for Ugusu, Kushina, and Kusuki... But are you sure you don't want new stockings too, Nectar?
Nectar: I'm sure, Shinsha. I do not believe myself to be included in what Santa Claus categorizes as "children."
Not to mention, my clothes and equipment are all, in fact, a part of my body. I have no need for any additional clothing.
Choose: So you're basically naked?
(Captain) can't help but chime in, catching Shinsha off guard.
Shinsha: Naked?
Nectar: No, Shinsha. (Captain). I have clothed and equipped myself adequately so that I would not appear naked.
Shinsha: Right... When we touch, I can feel the clothes on you and you don't seem naked.
Hmm, but... you don't have any clothes on when you're in your squishy form, so... Huh? Wait...
Nectar: Shinsha. I am not naked.
Am I, (Captain)?
Shinsha: ...?

Nectar: Happy holidays, (Captain). Thank you once again for inviting us to your winter feast.
Nectar scoops up a spoonful of beef stew and carefully holds it to Shinsha's mouth.
Shinsha: Thank you, Nectar! It smells delicious... Nom.
Mmm! This stew tastes amazing!
Nectar: Yes, Shinsha. It appears this stew was made with soup extracted from cow bones that was then simmered with meat and herbs for an extended period of time.
Choose: Wow, you know so much about the dish!
Nectar: I had the chefs in the kitchen tell me how they had made tonight's dinner items and their ingredients.
Food and its flavor mean little to me, so I'm afraid I cannot explain the flavors very well.
However, if there is anything else you would like to know, Shinsha, I will be glad to answer.
Shinsha: I appreciate it, Nectar. Then I'll tell you what the food tastes like.
If I keep doing that, maybe someday you'll be able to understand what it means for something to be "delicious" too.
Even if you don't, I hope that you will understand what kinds of flavors I think are delicious.
Nectar: Very well, Shinsha. Your happiness is my happiness, after all—please do tell me everything you find to your liking.

Nehan

Surely you realize that I have no need of stockings, Mugen. Place that by your pillow instead.
Huh? Oh, it's you, (Captain). I was just explaining to Mugen that Santa has nothing to give to adults.
And of course, the same goes for naughty children.
Meaning even if I were a kid, Santa wouldn't bother with me. Make sense, Mugen?
That's why you're better off using that stocking for yourself. I've no doubt the jolly old man will have something for you.
Got it? Good.
Huh? You suggest we share the same bed tonight, so that your pillow will be my pillow? What are you talking about, Mugen?
(Captain). Would you stop laughing and tell Mugen what this holy night's all about? Because I've long since forgotten.

(Captain) has stopped by Stardust Town to pay a visit to Nehan at his office.
Nehan's Voice: Who is it?
Choose: I'm coming in!
Nehan: I don't recall asking you to come in... Well, it's you after all. I suppose there's nothing to hide.
Nehan opens the lid of a box at his feet, wraps its contents in paper, and then places them in another box nearby.
Choose: What's that?
These are holiday sweets the twins wanted to place near the pillows of the other children as gifts. They said it'd be a pain to wrap them, so I'm doing it in their stead.
This makes for decent rehabilitation exercise. My wrapping skills aren't the greatest, but what's inside matters most anyways.
Look expectantly at me all you like, but I don't have anything for you.
If you want some sweets, you should ask someone close to you. I'm sure the twins or Seox would be happy to give you some.

Urgh...
Choose: Are you okay?
Never mind me. I just overate at the holiday feast. Or rather... I was overfed.
I had a feeling it would come to this. But Mugen, Wamdus, and the children all wanted to stuff my face for some reason...
And you're partially to blame for laughing instead of stopping them.
Well, no matter.
I'm sure it will clear up with some stomach medicine. I'd hate to see all those elaborate dishes go to waste...
If anything urgent comes up this evening, I'll be in the infirmary.
You're free to unwind with the children or return to the ship—whatever you want.
...
Listen, I don't need you to come with me. I'm not sick, so stop looking at me like that.

Happy holidays!
I'm gonna be Santa this year!
Although I've never dressed as Santa before... Or ridden in a sleigh.
So this is like my first day at work! Heehee, what do you want as a present, (Captain)?
Ah, but you'll have to pay for your present! Heeheehee!
Ah, that's enough jokin' around! Let's have fun today and stay warm!

Hmm? What's the matter, (Captain)? You look cooold.
When I get cold I use these: the long, long silks on my axe!
You can use them for so many things. Love 'em so much!
Let's just wrap it around you like this... Aaand... Voila! Perfect scarf!
Oops... Looks like I wrapped us up together. Hehe. Now it's a double scarf.
But isn't this super warm? Hehe.

Believe it or not... Santa saved the lives of me and my sisters.
There was a time when we were poor, so poor we were struggling just to get by.
That's when this Santa Claus guy threw some gold coins into our windows.
And they just happened to land in our stockings. I couldn't believe it. Holiday presents for us.
Huh? You say I'm telling a story? Well, you've really grown—you figured it out so quick.
But even if our story is fake, who knows—maybe Saint Claus's real.
So we're heading to the town to solve the mystery once and for all...
All right! Just one more push and we'll be in town, (Captain)! Hehe!

Happy Holly Daze!
You see what I did there? That's right—it's a daze where you dream about holly and feel happy! That's what this day is all about!
But why? And just what kinda daze is that? And why is it just holly?
So to find out the truth behind this holly daze, I ventured out to a cake shop that was decked with boughs of holly.
I got you a mont blanc from there! See, here's the logo of the store—it's a picture of holly.
Huh? Just get to the point, you say? I totally get what you mean! That's why you should tell me, (Captain).
Heehee. Anyway, let's just toss that aside and save that for later.
This mont blanc cake is looking pretty good! Nom nom... Mmm, delicious! Here, open wide!
How is it? You like it? All right! Then once you're done eating, let's solve this holly daze mystery together!

(Captain)! Happy holly daze! Or if you say it faster, happy holidays!
Happy holly daze is complete nonsense, of course... Who ever thought of saying that? Oh, that was me.
Anyway, speaking of a holly daze, I've been thinking about something since last year... You wanna hear it? We can do that while having some mont blancs.
Mmm, this mont blanc is delish! How they made it not too sweet is just wonderful! Makes me forget all my worries!
Oh! This mont blanc just made me forget what I was thinking about...
Oh well, I suppose having cake with you on this special night is the perfect way to spend the holly daze.
Heh, guess I've come to a compromise.
And with that, let's enjoy the holly daze together! Happy, happy, holly daze!

Anyway, speaking of a holly daze, I've been thinking about something since last year... You wanna hear it? We can do that while having some mont blancs.
Mmm, this mont blanc is delish! How they made it not too sweet is just wonderful! Makes me forget all my worries!
Oh! This mont blanc just made me forget what I was thinking about...
Oh well, I suppose having cake with you on this special night is the perfect way to spend the holly daze.
Heh, guess I've come to a compromise.
And with that, let's enjoy the holly daze together! Happy, happy, holly daze!

Happy holidays to ya!
What's that? Hand over the present, you say? You've got a lot of nerve there!
But I'll tell ya... I've just about lost my cheer for the season.
I wonder how long it's been... You know, since I became the one givin' gifts instead of gettin' 'em.
Ha-ha-ha! I better stop. Got me thinkin' about my darlin' husband.
But I deserve a gift every now and then, don't you think? So, (Captain), how about my present?

Hey, did you hear?
The gift exchange's been canceled this year.
Why are you so surprised? A memo went around the airship and everything!
Yae's been a good girl this year too... It's a real shame.
I even got you somethin' nice this year, (Captain).
A real shame indeed... But my hands are tied!

(Captain)! Happy holidays to ya!
I heard what ya did! You went and got my little girl a present, didn't ya?
Thanks a bunch, hon!
I think I might've misjudged you. You're a lot nicer than I thought!
Hm... Or maybe I'm lookin' at this the wrong way. Are you goin' after my Yae?
Ha-ha-ha! I'm just foolin'! Why are you makin' that face at me?
Ha-ha-ha! You're hilarious! Pickin' on you is worth the trouble!

It's already that long-awaited time of the year again, huh, (Captain)?
I mean, I wasn't waitin' for it though.
Seriously though, it must be nice not having a care in the world...
Meanwhile, I haven't even decided on a present for my little Yae yet!
Not to mention I still haven't gotten you your present either!
But I really was plannin' on having something for ya today, really!
Wait, ya really believe me, don't you?
Haha, thank you kindly, (Captain)!

Psst, (Captain). Ya know someone called Santa?
I heard he gets real active around the holiday season, throwin' presents left and right.
Seems like there's still some decent people in the world, eh? Think my faith in humanity's comin' back home.
Don't ya agree, kid?
Ya do? Then whaddya say to helpin' me find this Santa?
Might be able to get (Captain)'s and Yae's presents free offa him...
What's that? Ya heard me plottin'?
Come on, kid. You're supposed to act like you didn't hear nothin'. Ya can be a real piece of work sometimes, ya know.

Happy holidays!
I just crashed into an old man. He was pretty well-built for his age! Hahaha!

Hah hah hah! That was so much fun I almost forgot how cold it is!
Hm? Is it my turn to fire up the crew?
All right, I've got something just perfect for the occasion!
Don't take your eyes off me for a second, everyone! Hah hah hah!

(Captain), won't you join me for tonight's festivities?
Hah hah hah! Now that you mention it, we should probably discuss how we'll spend the time there.
I was thinking you and I could try performing the tribal folk song and dance of my people together.
And you know, two is always better than one, three is always better than two, and so on—Actually, scratch that... We'll need over a hundred people.
Hah hah hah! Worry not, my friend! We have more than half a day left to practice!
And practice we shall! I look forward to seeing the looks of astonishment on their faces tonight!
Next, to invite the ladies of the crew! Any dance worth its salt needs a few lovely maidens!

A wizened man clad in robes of red who brings presents in the night...
Is he not afraid to be flying at such heights all night?
Hmm... I do wonder.
Aha!
If I can get ahold of him, perhaps I can ask him the secret of overcoming the fear of heights!
Hahaha! With this I might finally overcome my fears!
There's no time to waste!
Will you help me find him, (Captain)?

Ah, (Captain). What a chilly night we're having.
I was thinking of my fellow brethren back home.
I hope they remain warm and in good health in my absence.
Haha, you think I worry too much? Perhaps so, but that is simply my nature.
Since I cannot be by their side right now, I figure the least I can do is pray for their well-being.
If it's not too much to ask, (Captain), would you mind praying with me? It'd be that much more effective with the two of us.

(Captain), I have a holiday present for you.
It's a picture book. It tells a heartwarming tale of an elderly man known as Santa Claus.
Reading about how the jolly old man gives presents to the children of the world left a strong impression on me.
That's why I'm hoping to spread the word about him by handing out copies of the book.
Huh? His existence is already commonly known to mortals, you say?
I see... That's good to know, but it puts me in a strange spot...
I suppose there is still much I need to learn about the ways of mortals.

Hello, (Captain). Are you enjoying this holiest of nights?
I was invited by some of the others to help with party preparations and decorating the tree. This crew certainly keeps itself busy.
Primal beasts often fraternize with one another—as you've witnessed with the primal pals—but it's quite rare for us to interact with mortals.
Now that I've seen your ways up close and personal, I'm finding all sorts of small differences between mortals and primals that I overlooked before.
I shall never grow tired of mortals. That goes double for you, (Captain).

Ah, here you are. I didn't see you with everyone else, so I came looking for you, (Captain).
You came to look at the snow? All by yourself, in the cold?
Well, perhaps there's something interesting about snow that I don't know about yet.
Would you mind if I looked at it with you for a while?
...
Hm, I think I'm beginning to understand. As you stand amidst the silent night, you can hear the sounds of the party coming from inside the ship.
Even though you're cold and lonesome, you can still feel a flicker of warmth... What an interesting night.
You've taught me a new way to enjoy the holy night. Thank you, (Captain).

Happy holidays! I've been laying the groundwork for tonight for ages!
Groundwork for what? Why, the decorations, of course! When the crew sees the mechanical wonders I've put up to celebrate, it's gonna blow their minds!
Let's celebrate like we mean it, (Captain)!

It's that time of the year again...
What am I so excited about? The decorations of course!
The number of crew members has increased and... we've got so many more young crew members, right?
I got appraisals from everyone who heard about what we did last year, so this year I'm going all out with the decorations!
Will you help me, (Captain)? Haha, thank you! All right, let's get a move on it!

Happy holidays, (Captain)!
Heh heh. Actually, we're all done with the decorations.
What are we doing this year?
Isn't it obvious? We're going to give out presents!
Your crew has a lot of younger ones, so we made little robot toys for each and every one of them!
I'm sure they'll love it!
C'mon, (Captain). Let's give 'em out together!

Happy holidays, (Captain)!
Haha. I bet I look like a mess. I was just repainting Gigantes.
It's because I was thinking about Santa. He's got that red coat and that white beard.
By adding some white to Gigantes, I thought I could give it a seasonal flair. Maybe call it the Santa Bot.
Its power is just what you'd expect—carrying loads and loads of presents like it's nothin'.
And its control system would continuously evolve, learning to give the perfect present to each and every kid based on age!
Haha. Pretty good idea, right? The bots I make aren't just for battle!

Hey, (Captain)! Happy holidays! I'm here with everyone from the lab to hand out presents again!
I look forward to this every year, you know. Everyone in the crew always tells me about so many interesting things.
Tzaka and Suframare give me all kinds of advice too.
Stuff like, "Let me know when looking after someone gets tough for you," or "Don't nip things in the bud in case you can learn something from them."
Haha. Now that I think about it, all I ever talk about with other people is work or my hobbies, so it's nice to have these conversations once in a while.
Not to mention, it's fun talking about the future with everyone here too... Haha, look at me rambling on!
Anyway, what I wanted to say is that I always have a great time celebrating the winter season with all of you!
Thanks for inviting me this year too, (Captain)!

Um, (Captain)? What would you like for the holidays?
I-if there's anything at all you want, I'll get my hands on it for you...
So please, tell me... What is it you crave?
Choose: Y-you don't have to go that far...
I decided to devote myself to you...
Because you love and accept me for who I am... Because you're so dear to me...
That's why I hope you'll let me do you this favor...
So what would you like, (Captain)? I'll give you anything...

Can you leave it over there, Death?
Death nods and drops a large bag onto the ground.
Thanks. Haha, I hope this pleases (Captain) and the others...
Ah, (Captain).
What's in the bag, you ask? Well, you see... I heard everyone eats birds on this special day.
So Death and I brought a bunch of them.
I'm going to make a holiday feast out of these birds.
Will you sit down for a bite when it's ready?
Choose: Of course.
That's such a relief. I'm going to make it worth your while, (Captain).
You're going to love it...

Nier: Death, could you beat the cream for me?
Death: ...
Nier: Once you're done with that, please cut the strawberries too.
Choose: Making a cake?
Nier: That's right, but it's been a while since I last baked a cake...
That's why I'm practicing with test versions.
U-um, once this one's done, would you mind giving it a taste?
The others who like me said my baked treats were great, but I'm still not sure...
Thanks... I'll make this one with lots of love for you, (Captain)...
Oh, but I'd appreciate it if you told me your honest opinion...
Otherwise, I won't learn what flavors you prefer...

Death, it's been a while... Do you think Santa Claus will show up?
(Captain)? What are you doing up this late?
Me? I'm waiting with Death for Santa Claus...
You see... I've never seen him before...
Not a single time in my life...
I used to be told that I never would, since I was a bad child...
But I still want to see him at least once... That's why I'm waiting here with Death.
There are plenty of young children on our ship...
So he's bound to show up eventually...
I hope he comes soon though...

(Captain)? What are you doing up at this hour?
Huh? Me? I was wondering if I could see Santa.
Um... You see, I waited all day for him last year, but he was a no-show...
I figured this year would surely be my chance.
But considering how late it is already, maybe I should just give up...
I guess... maybe those people were right after all...
I'm a naughty child, so Santa wants nothing to do with me...
Ah, wait a second... Huh? (Captain)?
Ah, (Captain). Where did you go?
Oh, you're dressed up as Santa Claus...
You're doing this just for me?
...
Thank you, (Captain).
Although I couldn't meet the real one, I feel a lot better now.
I appreciate you so much.

(Captain), happy holidays!
Hm? You too, (Captain)?
Yeah, here I am.
Tonight's party is gonna be a blast. I hear the tables are gonna be packed with food.
Mm, my mouth is watering just thinking about—
No, wait! Never mind I ever said that!
And no, I do not eat ten times that of other people—only five!

(Captain), happy holidays!
Do you think I look weird? I don't have a stain or something on me, right?
Really? Good...
I was just helping out carry the tree in.
I pulled it from the forest, put it on my back, and took it all the way to the boat.
I chose the best tree I could find. I hope you're looking forward to decorating it, (Captain).
Since I'm clean, let's start now!

Well, I'm off!
Oh, hey, (Captain)! Happy holidays!
Where am I going, you ask? To do some shopping for tonight's party.
I can really pack it away, after all.
So I figured I'd better pitch in with the preparations.
Everyone has to do their part, y'know!
So I'll be back in a bit! Later!

Look at this huge holiday cake!
It's always been a dream of mine to eat a whole cake from the top down...
The folks working in the kitchen let me have all the ingredients for this one as thanks for helping out!
So I decided to go nuts and make this special giant!
Might've gone a little too crazy with the cream and strawberries... But it still looks real tasty even though it's tilting, right?
Huh? You wanna eat some too?
Of course you're welcome to! Dig in from the top on the count of three! How's that sound?

(Captain), happy holidays!
Huh? Oh yeah, I smell kinda sweet since I was baking a cake.
Do you remember the big cake I baked last year?
All the kiddos on the ship asked me to bake one again this year.
Really made me happy to see how much it brightened up their day.
And look!
As thanks, they gave me this—a drawing of me with my cheeks stuffed full of cake!
Ehehe, how awesome is it to give gifts and receive them on the holiest night of the year!
Oh, but don't worry! I made sure to save some cake for you and me!

You can tell it's the holiday season. The town is overflowing with happy melodies.
But there's an unsettling discord hanging in the air as well. I have to put a stop to it.

The holiday melodies flowing through town are so fascinatingly complex...
The sound of people reveling and others griping fills the air... But the end result is far from cacophonous.
What do I think of this season? I dislike noisy places—banquets and the like—so I was never much a fan.
But to spend my time within the noise quietly by your side? That... I like.

La la la...
Hehe... This is fun.
All I can hear is the falling of the snow and the melody in your heart.
Just for now, it all belongs to me. Hehe...

It's cold...
The snow's beautiful, but the cold numbs my hands.
(Captain)... Can you hold my hand?
...
Teehee. You're so warm.

... Hey, (Captain).
On the holy night, the town is so full of warmth, and you can hear beautiful melodies playing everywhere.
There are all kinds of melodies playing on the streets... All I heard were awful sounds before, so I was surprised...
Hehe. It's thanks to you, (Captain). When I'm with you, the same melody flows through me too.
Hey, can you spend a little more time with me today, (Captain)?
Once we get back to the ship, you'll be busy looking after everyone...
So... I want to keep your melody all to myself for a little while longer.

Happy holidays to you, (Captain).
Tonight Santa Claus appears before all the good children bearing gifts.
Have you been good this year as well, (Captain)?
Hehe. Well, you're a little too old to be bound by those rules anymore.
I do have a present for you though. It's not from Santa, but I hope it'll do.

So (Captain), do you know how Santa delivers all those presents?
According to one local legend, he travels the sky on a sleigh pulled by reindeer.
In any case he manages to do it all in just one night. As a primal beast that builds ships, I have to admit I'm intrigued.
Just once I'd like to see Santa riding around on his sleigh...
Hehe. What a strange thing to talk about. Let's just set that aside and enjoy the night before us.

Happy holidays, (Captain).
Preparations for this year's celebration have taken quite some time. Looks like we'll just be able to make it though.
What's taking so long? Well, the sleigh of course.
It was constructed for a dignified shipwright of a primal beast.
I don't know if it'll be able to go around the world in a single night, but it's definitely speedy.
I'll see if Rackam's up to play Santa Claus, but...
Well, it'd be great if you could lend a hand too, (Captain).

Ah, (Captain), what perfect timing.
As a matter of fact, I was just looking for you. I have a bit of a request to make.
Do you remember the sleigh I made last year?
This year I've modified it to release snow from the bottom.
Snow reduces friction when traveling across the ground anyway.
We can make it snow as we advance through the sky.
I'd like to use the sled to deliver presents to the children of the order.
Would you mind lending me a hand, (Captain)?

(Captain), would you be able to help in handing out presents to the children again this year?
I'd like to ask both you and Rackam to play Santa this year.
This time, I've prepared some mechanical reindeers as part of the sleigh.
Though I'm afraid the reindeer will make the maximum speed of the sleigh slower compared to last year...
I thought to prioritize the aspect of fun over performance, you see.
Well then, if you're ready, let's go and spread smiles on the children's faces!

It was constructed for a dignified shipwright of a primal beast.
I don't know if it'll be able to go around the world in a single night, but it's definitely speedy.
I'll see if Rackam's up to play Santa Claus, but...
Well, it'd be great if you could lend a hand too, (Captain).

Ah, (Captain), what perfect timing.
As a matter of fact, I was just looking for you. I have a bit of a request to make.
Do you remember the sleigh I made last year?
This year I've modified it to release snow from the bottom.
Snow reduces friction when traveling across the ground anyway.
We can make it snow as we advance through the sky.
I'd like to use the sled to deliver presents to the children of the order.
Would you mind lending me a hand, (Captain)?

(Captain), would you be able to help in handing out presents to the children again this year?
I'd like to ask both you and Rackam to play Santa this year.
This time, I've prepared some mechanical reindeers as part of the sleigh.
Though I'm afraid the reindeer will make the maximum speed of the sleigh slower compared to last year...
I thought to prioritize the aspect of fun over performance, you see.
Well then, if you're ready, let's go and spread smiles on the children's faces!

Happy holidays!
What's that? You're worried about Santa Claus making it here through all this snow?
Ah! No problem! Our town gets tons of snow, but he always makes it there just fine.

Santa Claus must be havin' it rough in this cold, yeah?
I heard he comes on a sleigh, and that's more than a mite chillier than an airship, I reckon.
It'd sure be nice if he could stop and have some warm milk and cookies with us...
But he's so busy, there's no way he'll have time, yeah?

Good golly! I've never seen a cake this big! I guess that's what you get from the big city.
You didn't buy it, but you made it yourself? Well, hot dog! I can't believe my eyes or my ears!
Thanks for the slice, (Captain)! Yum... Hm?
This cake is so good I wanna go swimmin' in a pool of the batter! Even the apple on top had me droolin' for more!
Ooh wee, I'm in heaven!

Dad fetch my buttons, if it ain't (Captain)! A happy holiday to ya!
I tell ya, today's a real special day. This big 'ol city's quiet as a mouse for once... It feels real blessed or somethin'.
Huh? You're wondering what I was doin' up this way all by my lonesome?
All ya'll in the crew're gonna have that big holiday hoe-down, but I just get so gosh-darn nervous...
I sure hate to ask you a favor, but... (Captain), would you mind stickin' by my side if I go?
No foolin'? Well shucks, (Captain), there ain't nothing gonna spook me when you're by my side!
A little bird told me there's gonna be some nice and tasty cake at that party.
Last year was such a hoot. I get ants in my pants just thinkin' 'bout this one!

Hiyo, (Captain). Snow's really comin' down this year.
I'm used to city livin' now, but seein' all this snow pilin' up reminds me of the mountains.
But it's nothin' like my hometown snow! That stuff'll bury you good.
When it comes to ease of livin', city dwellin' takes the cake.
Haha, listen to me talk like city folk! Well, I've been livin' this way for a while now, y'know!
The country boy in me'll never change, but I can safely say I've done some growin' up, (Captain).

Happy holidays!
Hey, (Captain)... I was wondering...Do you have any plans for tonight?
Why? Well, I have two tickets for a holiday dinner and...
I was wondering if you'd like to come along... Um, you know, if you're free that is! Otherwise, I can just ask someone else!
You can come? G-great! I heard the food is going to be fantastic!
I'm going to go get ready! I'll see you on the deck later tonight, then!

Hmm? Ack, (Captain)! Sorry... Unfortunately the food's not ready yet.
You smelled something good? Hehe. Well it's been in the oven for a while.
Since I was little, I would help my mother make the holiday festival dinner. I was always in charge of the mashed potatoes.
Smash the potatoes, add a pinch of salt. That's all I had to do, but I would also try my best to taste it as I made it.
Sometimes I would fill up on just tasting the potatoes and make my parents wait to start dinner. I miss those days...
Since I've become an adult, I haven't been able to go home for the holidays very often.
But I've enjoyed spending the holidays with you, (Captain).
Today I'll make a festive feast as a way to thank you for all the little things you do for us every day. I hope you're looking forward to it!

Happy holidays!
Oh, you could hear my violin out in the corridor?
I was practicing. Everyone on the crew who plays an instrument decided we'd put on a holiday concert tonight.
A peaceful holiday is nice too, but nothing beats singing and dancing the night away with all your friends.
I want to make sure it's an evening everyone will enjoy.
You want to hear my performance?
Well of course you can!
I'll run through the first song on the program. Give me your honest feedback, all right? Don't hold back!

Happy holidays, (Captain).
You're wondering what my plans are for tonight? Well, I've actually got a concert planned...
And it's a concert just for you.
Hehe, did I have you going for a sec? You're going to be the only person in the audience, so it's a surprise solo performance just for you.
I have to show my appreciation for all you do for me after all.
So will you be free to attend tonight?

Ah, (Captain)! Surprised to see the party decorations set up already?
I came early to make sure everything's prepped on time.
Sorry I didn't let you know. I wanted to surprise you.
I thought it'd be a good way to get your attention for myself.
Just kidding. I had a special winter present for you in mind.
Have a seat! I'm going to put on an exclusive concert just for you in this holiday-themed room!
It's just a short little something to help you relax until the party starts!

Tonight is the longest night of all. And to greet one another on this night, we are to say, "happy holidays." Correct?
Ah, no children of man lived on my island. It was a very small island.
I've come to learn much from traveling with you.
A holy night... What will the children of man think up next.
I pray that you and yours will have a joyous celebration.

Happy holidays, (Captain).
Who are you going to spend this festive night with?
It seems that the celebratory banquet aboard the Grandcypher is already underway.
Everyone is having the time of their lives to make this a memorable day.
Oh, sorry. I forgot that the children of man find the night air of winter to be cold.
You should bundle up so you don't catch a cold.

Hm? (Captain), why have you come here? Did you grow weary of the festivities?
I see. The feast was growing long, was it? Taking a reprieve from the bustle isn't such a bad idea.
I'm mistaken?
Me? At the party? So you came here to invite me.
(Hmm. There is no reason for me to participate in a party held by the children of man, but...)
Well, since you went out of your way, I have no objections.
Let us hurry to the venue. Once we arrive, would you introduce me to your favorite dish?

Happy holidays. Enjoying the feast to the fullest, aren't you?
Surprised to see me participating of my own volition? I'm not attending for any particular reason...
I don't dislike these gatherings. Besides, this way you won't have to waste time looking for me.
Does my simple act of joining the feast please you so much?
Hm... While I don't understand why it would...
I'm satisfied knowing that you are happy.
I'll do my best to emulate you children of man and enjoy the festivities as well.

Happy holidays, (Captain).
You seemed like you could use a drink, so I took the liberty of selecting one for you. I hope you enjoy it.
How many times have I spent this special night together with children of man? I must say, I've grown quite accustomed to it.
But to be honest, I can't say I grasp the deeper meaning behind this holiday yet.
Still, I suppose everyone gathering together to eat the same food and gaze up at the same night sky is meaningful in and of itself.
I'm only able to feel this way because you invited me to be a part of this so many times.
Now, raise your glass, (Captain). Let's join together in celebrating that everyone can enjoy this night in happiness and health.
Cheers!

What's a... Santa? An old guy who rides... flying reindeer?
Why does he do that?
Good boys and girls? Presents?
...
I'm going to go help Apollo.

Waiting and waiting...
But he's not here yet.
I got a present from Santa last year, so I wanted to thank him...
Santa only comes... at night while you're asleep?
...
Then good night, (Captain)...

There. All ready.
Ah, (Captain).
I wanted to thank Santa last year. But I fell asleep.
So this year I wrote a letter.
Do you think he'll read it?
I sure hope he does...

Om nom nom...
Ah... (Captain)...
You... You have it all wrong. I'm not sneaking snacks. Honest.
I made these cookies myself. Lyria and Io taught me how.
This letter... It's from Santa. He answered my letter last year.
It made me so happy... That's why I decided to give him a present this year.
I heard he likes cookies and milk... So I really gave it my all.
I'm... very happy with the results. Do you want to try one, (Captain)?
Say "ahh."

Roll, roll... Squish, squish...
Oh... (Captain). I was just kneading some clay. I'm going to sculpt an ornament for the tree.
Last year, Santa thanked me for my cookies. He sent me a letter with a drawing of our faces.
So this year, I'm going to make everyone out of clay. Then I'll hang them on the tree...
Me, (Captain), Lyria, Vyrn, and Apollo... all together.
Do you want to make one? You can make half of Apollo.
I'll make her face, and you make her armor, (Captain). I was having trouble with that part, so I could use the help.

What are you doing at this hour, (Captain)?
Me? I'm keeping watch.
Tonight's the big night, and that usually means people are more lax.
Therefore I've taken it upon myself to remain vigilant in their stead.
It's times like these that attract misfortune.
Hm? This large bag I'm carrying?
This would be... Ahem. This bag contains everything I need in order to carry out my duties.
In any case you needn't worry about what I'm holding.
Now it's gotten awfully late, (Captain). Might I suggest retiring to your room?
If you don't get to bed soon, Santa Claus won't be able to deliver his presents.
But don't worry. Santa will definitely pay you a visit tonight.
And when you wake up the next morning, you'll find a wonderful present. I guarantee it.

What to do...
(Captain)? What a coincidence meeting you here.
What am I doing? I'm procuring the necessary items for the party tonight.
But...
Choose: Something the matter?
Yes... The princess has ordered me to buy a cute stuffed animal...
However, I don't know what that means...
(Captain)... Would you be able to assist me?
Thank you. Then let us buy the cutest toy we can!

Who goes there!
(Captain)? May I ask what you're doing? To think you would appear in my room at such a late hour...
Hm? That is quite a large sack you're carrying. And what is that in your hand...
Perhaps... Were you meaning to leave me a gift as I was sleeping?
P-please accept my apologies!
I did not think you would be taking on the role of Santa Claus this night.
Er... I shall go back to sleep presently. Would you mind setting down the gift then?

A snowball fight with everyone in the crew?
I'd be happy to accept your invitation, (Captain).
May I ask who else will be joining?
What! Wait a second... You mean to tell me that the princess will be on the other team?
My apologies, (Captain).
I'm afraid I cannot bring myself to throw a snowball at the princess, even if it is only a game...
Instead, I shall join the princess's team. We'll face each other in the fight, (Captain)!

Ah, greetings, (Captain). It's kind of late, isn't it?
What am I up to? I was about to go bird hunting.
The princess and the others mentioned they have need of a bird for the holiday party.
I heard that many large birds roost in a nearby forest.
Hm? Have I piqued your interest, (Captain)?
Ah, you're knowledgeable about hunting, you say.
Hm... I wouldn't mind having a hunting partner if you're so obliged.
Great, thank you. Together we are a force to be reckoned with.
Let us surprise the others with a fine catch.
Onward, (Captain).

Hello, (Captain)! I heard that Santa's coming tonight. Do you have your stockings ready?
If they're peephole stockings, the presents will fall right out. I made that mistake once when I was a child...
Oh, by peephole stockings, I'm talking about stockings with a gaping hole where the big toe would be.
I sure hope Santa's bag of presents doesn't come with any peepholes!

Just before the orchestra's holiday performance, the dulcet tones of a flute echo throughout the halls.
Ah! (Captain)! You've come to see our performance?
To tell you the truth, I'm really nervous... It's always like this before I go on stage. If I don't practice, then I can't calm my nerves.
(Captain)? Why did you pull out your handkerchief so quickly?
What! How did you pull flowers out of it! That's amazing... Ah, I see what's going on.
Hehe. Thank you. I feel a little less nervous now.
I'll play my heart out during the performance! I hope you'll like it!

Happy holidays, (Captain). I just finished writing a greeting card for you. Here you go.
I drew a picture on it of you and Vyrn as Santa and his reindeer.
You think this Santa really looks like you? Good, I tried my best to think of your face when working on it!
Hm? You're going to hang this up in your room? Eep, th-thank you!
It's a bit embarrassing, but I'm glad you like it!

Oh, (Captain)! Thanks for coming to our holiday concert!
I was nervous about performing in such a large theater, but I'm glad things turned out okay.
Eep!
Haha, I guess all that peace of mind got my stomach growling somehow.
If you have some time to spare, would you like to come to dinner with me? There's a restaurant I've been meaning to check out.
Yay! I'm glad I invited you! Now I'll just need a few minutes to get ready.

Sorry for bothering you all of a sudden, but are you free tonight?
It's been a while since I've had a holy night off.
Which is why I was wondering if you wouldn't mind spending it with me... Maybe we could go for a walk around town?
Really? Thank goodness... I'm so glad I worked up the courage to ask.
Though I haven't figured out what we'll do yet... You think it's fine to see what we find while we walk?
Thank you. Shall we head out then?

Today's a time when the whole world feels restless. (Captain), do you remember what I said earlier?
Heh. I see you're already busy with preparations for tonight's feast.
You always enjoy each event to the fullest. I find it truly admirable.
What? No, I'm not being sarcastic. These day-to-day activities are what make us human.
I hate to neglect these events, but... I'm afraid the reconstruction of Verona is far from complete.
Hm? You want me to stay? Are you sure?
I couldn't possibly decline your kind offer, (Captain). I'll gladly join you.

Last year's holiday party really left an impression on me.
I volunteered to chip in for this year's preparations. Would you mind having a look at what I've done so far?
Hmm, sprinkling some white powder on the windows will make it look like they have snow on them? That sounds like an excellent idea.
In the past I've always left this work to the servants. I never knew to appreciate how much work it is.
Hm? My clothes are dirty? My apologies, how uncouth of me.
It just goes to show how hard I've been working, you say?
Haha, I'll gladly accept those words.
Now then, I'd best get to decorating these windows. Would you be so kind as to help me, (Captain)?

Yet another holiday party approaches tonight. I must say I now look forward to helping with arrangements.
A vibrant party is all well and good, but by lending a hand, I come to learn more about the townspeople.
Here's a few points I noticed.
With but scant few words, I can see that each person has their own story to tell, climbing different rungs of the social ladder, and dealing with their own unique problems.
I wish I could ensure happiness for everyone, but...
Ahem. I digress. 'Tis a night for joviality, and I won't drag down the mood with difficult matters.
You and all in the crew deserve a night of joyous partying.
Have a look at the decorations I had a hand in when you can. I pulled out all the stops this year.

Candles are lit and placed in ornate glass cases all around Verona's plaza today.
This holiday is a reminder of the importance of spending time with family.
I wondered if there was anything I could do to make this precious time even more enjoyable for the people.
Though I am but an amateur who came to rely on the handiwork of the attendants, I think it was a success.
It's starting to get dark. The full brilliance of the candles should soon become clear.
I think I shall head over to the plaza to see how the people are faring. Will you come along as well, (Captain)?
The experience I gain this year will be useful for future holidays. If you have any feedback, I would like to hear it.

Do you remember how I had candles in glass cases placed around the plaza last year?
Actually, when I was retreiving them after the night's celebrations...
A number of the glass cases had words scrawled on them—wishes made by citizens.
Isn't it wonderful? Being able to connect with the people's thoughts and emotions in this way... I was deeply touched.
This year, I decided to prepare the glass cases again, as well as a space where people can write their wishes before lighting the candles themselves.
Why don't you write something too, (Captain)? Surely, wishes can grant others happiness.
I know your wishes have the power to do so. If one person writes, others will naturally follow. I'm counting on you, (Captain).

Oh! (Captain)! I've been asked to sing a holiday song...
But I don't know any. Do you think you could teach me one?

Bird: Caw, caw! (Pavi! It's the holiday season! Don't you have a present for me?)
Pavidus: O-of course I do! Here...

All right, master. T-this year, I'll be Santa!

Quack! (As for me, I just want 100 different kinds of nuts!)
Chick: Chirp! (I want a great big house! And it better be made of wood!)
Pavidus: Eeep! You mean I'm supposed to give all of you presents too?
(Captain)... Please help me get all the things they want!

Pavidus: So I bend this twig here... And place the berries there...
Oh, (Captain)! Happy holidays!
Yes, I'm working on a wreath. I went into the woods and gathered everything that looked like it might be useful...
Chick: Chirp! (Ohh, what's this? A new house for us?)
Bird: Quack! (Hey, Pavi, making it pretty's all well and good, but this stupid nest has a hole through it. Who could live in this?)
Pavidus: Master, wait! Stop grabbing at it! This isn't meant to be lived in!
Bird: Quack, quack! (Amateur. I'll show you how to make a proper nest. Give it here!)
Pavidus: Nooo! If you fill in the hole, it won't be a wreath anymore!
(Captain), please, help me explain it to them!

Ah, the holiday season. I remember celebrating with my siblings when I was a child.
Would you look at that... I haven't seen this many people out on the town since my days with the Dragon Knights.
Heh. I suppose it doesn't hurt to enjoy yourself every once in a while.

Hm, have I caught a cold? Maybe I'll skip the festivities tonight and have a quiet evening to myself.
Oh, is that you, Captain? What is it? It's not good to be alone? Wait! Don't come any closer!
No! I mean, you'll catch my cold! Just listen to me! Hm? You'll stay and take care of me?
But you promised to go see the night sky with everyone. I'll be fine, so hurry up and go.
You're pretty stubborn, you know that? Fine, you can stay, but when I'm better, I'll show you a night sky like you've never seen.

Humph. This has become quite the blizzard.
Everything was in place for a most picturesque night until the capricious whims of nature had to go and spoil it all.
Heh, it's just like you to always be optimistic. If you'd like, we can go out another time.
The weather is unfortunate, but this food is first-rate. Let's enjoy ourselves with this bounty.
What comes to mind on a night like this? Hmm, I guess I could share some memories with you.
There was a snowstorm a long time ago, just like the one we're having tonight. Mother read a story to me and my brothers.
We were so absorbed in the story that we threw tantrums and pestered Mother to continue...
Heh... What a thing to remember. Now I'd like to hear one of your memories.

Enjoying five-star cuisine created by a top-ranking chef, all while surveying the breathtaking night view outside... I can't think of a better way to spend the holidays.
Oh, a shooting star. I just caught a glimpse of one by that mountain over yonder.
Heh. Put my hands together and make a wish, you say? Very well. I suppose it wouldn't hurt.
I wish that I would continue to meet suitable vassals.
What's that? You spotted another shooting star? And you want me to make another wish? Well, if you insist.
I wish that all skydwellers would be able to spend the holidays with those dear to them.
You think the scale of my wish is too large? But that's exactly what wishes are for—the grander, the better.
I've already been blessed with precious vassals such as yourself, so I thought it only right to wish for the happiness of others.
By the way—what was your wish, (Captain)? Care to share it with me?

It was supposed to be the perfect holy night with us enjoying a scrumptious dinner cooked by a top-rate chef, over a beautiful view of the snow-laden town...
If only I didn't make a mistake in the arrangements for our carriage ride home.
I had arranged for someone I know to come, but it's my fault for neglecting to make the final confirmations. I apologize.
Hm? What are you doing, gathering all that snow?
Oho, I see. A tiny snowman, huh? Clever of you to use leaves to recreate my hairstyle.
I suppose I'll give it a try too.
Percival swiftly makes a figure out of snow. He trims a leaf into the shape of Vyrn and puts it on the figure's shoulder.
Hmph... How's that?
Since we're waiting for the carriage to arrive, I guess we might as well make the rest of the crew too.

It's the holiday season, isn't it? Hm? Do you want me to use my powers to make it snow?
I'm not so sure I can, but since you're the one that's asking, (Captain), I'll give it my best shot!

Take a look at this, (Captain)! They were handing these out in town!
If we write what we want on a piece of paper and put it inside this stocking, we'll get it as a present the next morning!
What are you going to write, (Captain)? I wonder if I should write Mom...
Actually I think I'd rather look for my mom myself.

Word is that he soars the skies to hand out presents to all the good kids.
A cold northerly wind blows during these nights. It even snows sometimes.
I wonder if Santa Claus can read the winds. It worries me a bit...
Do you know how I might be able to meet him? Surely there's a thing or two I can help him with.
Hm? The kids on the crew already have their share of presents, so there's no need?
Sorry, I didn't know you were helping to deliver the presents too.
I guess I can just take it easy and enjoy the holidays then.

Spending the holidays with your significant other is certainly one way to go about it.
I hear the weather's very important during such an occasion.
For setting up the mood in particular.
Maybe I can lend a helping hand with that!
(Captain), do you know what sort of weather is preferable for such an evening?
A starlit sky with gentle snowfall, you say?
But those events occur in completely different climates!
To make both happen concurrently might be beyond my powers...
Still, I'm sure it'd make for a wonderful spectacle.
I wonder... if I continue my training as a wind shaman, will I one day be able to summon such wondrous weather?
If I do, you'll be the first person I show it to, (Captain)!

(Captain), I've been pondering something for a while now.
How does Santa Claus fly through the air?
Oh! What if, what if he's some sort of immensely powerful mage?
If so, I bet being a wind shaman qualifies me to become his apprentice.
What do you think, (Captain)?
I hope I get to meet him one day!
You'll help me find him, won't you, (Captain)?

Santa...
So if I hang a stocking up, some crazy guy in red will come and bring me presents?
It's strange that some people believe in him and some people don't. I wonder why...
Me? Well, I... think it'd be nice if it were true.
Huh? These stockings I hung? Well... I mean... who doesn't want a present?

Say, (Captain), it's snowing outside.
Snow is cold... But if this reality is only a temporary space...
Then this chill... And even your warmth... I suppose none of it is actually real.
Ha-ha! Oh, it's nothing. Are you free today? I'd love it if we could spend a little more time together!

What exactly are you supposed to do for the holidays? I think the original purpose is different from its purpose nowadays.
I wonder when it changed... Say, what do you think, (Captain)?
As long as you can enjoy spending time with friends, that's good enough for you, huh?
Ha-ha... Figured you'd say that! Well then, shall we go and help set up for all the fun planned for tonight? Heh-heh!

How did this custom of exchanging presents in the dead of winter come to be? What do you think, (Captain)?
Would you say it's a tradition from somewhere specific? Did someone intentionally spread it? Or is it something entirely different?
It's hard to guess what would make an appropriate present without knowing the holiday's origin.
Huh? You want to know if I'm having trouble deciding on a present?
Why is that your assumption? I mean, you're just...
Well... You're actually not far off the mark.
Um... (Captain), please put your head together with me if you would.

(Captain)! Here's a present for you!
Ah, but don't open it yet! Hehehe...
First a question for you. Is there actually anything inside that box?
Maybe there is, and maybe there isn't. See, what you have in your hands is—
Hey, hey, hey! I told you not to open it yet! I'm not done talking!
See? It's empty.
The gift is my feelings...
Happy holidays, (Captain).

Pholia: On your travels... Have you ever made acquaintance with Santa Claus?
As the sovereign of this land, I wish to create the best winter festival possible. Only, I find it exceedingly difficult to track that man down.
You are saying you don't know how to contact him? Then I suppose there is no other choice...
It is during times like these that I must go out and deliver happiness to the children of this land myself!
Bai Ze! Prepare the sleigh!
Bai Ze: The sleigh has already been prepared... But I won't pull it.
Pholia: Don't be ridiculous! (Captain), of course you'll be coming too! I hope you feel the winter spirit!

Pholia: It's all because of Old Man Santa Claus that the children's faces are lit with bright smiles.
I'd like to commend him for his work, though speaking to him directly is out of my control...
Eureka! I just came up with a cunning stratagem!
I'll fall asleep with a stocking in my hand and leverage what a good little girl I've been! I believe that's called a honey trap!
Bai Ze: However, in the time since we first met, I've never seen you receive a gift from him.
I assume Santa Claus is already aware of your adulthood.
Pholia: Hm, that's definitely a possibility...
(Captain)! I shall have you take my place! Do not worry; I will prepare a room for us.
We'll all lie in wait for the old man to come down the chimney!

Season's greetings! You come at an opportune time, (Captain)!
Do you remember how we missed our chance to meet Santa Claus last year?
I have a new honey trap in mind this time.
I call it Operation Body Warmer.
It can't be easy soaring through the freezing winter skies with his aging body... But one look at our warm and cozy party grounds should entice him...
The moment we've drawn his attention, we'll have to surround and corner him. That'll be our chance to invite Santa and finally reap the rewards of our efforts.
Get the other crew members here pronto, (Captain)!
We'll have to make the party so grand that Santa can't help but take notice!
C'mon! The more clamorous fellows like Cain we can gather, the better!

Pholia: Feast your eyes, (Captain)! Bai Ze and I have prepared the ultimate holiday tree for this year!
Towering over its surroundings as a massive cone which pierces the sky!
Bai Ze: She insisted on using it for this year's attempt at capturing Santa Claus's attention.
Though decorating an object ten times the size of the sovereign will prove to be troublesome.
Pholia: Troublesome? A tree of this caliber should prove to be no issue for you, my dear friend.
Quickly now, (Captain). Take a seat on Bai Ze with me. We shall hang ornaments from every branch!

Bai Ze: Compose yourself, my sovereign. I am sure Santa Claus is aware of your sentiments.
Pholia: Even so, I feel dispirited...
Well, well, if it isn't (Captain). Yes, you are in fact staring at a dejected woman. There's nothing unusual about that; I have feelings, you know.
Sigh... Forgive me, Bai Ze. I had my face buried in your back, and your fur is all wet now.
Bai Ze: She's been moping ever since she got it into her head that she won't get to meet Santa Claus this year.
I wish for my sovereign to enjoy the night before the holy night, but at this rate—
Hm? Something just fell from the sky. Is it a greeting card?
Pholia: Wait a minute! Isn't this from Santa? He could be flying above us as we speak!
Bai Ze, we shall give chase immediately! He must hear my words of appreciation straight from my mouth!
Bai Ze: As you wish. Please take a seat upon my back as well, (Captain). We shall greet him together!

Pholia (Yukata)

Pholia: On your travels... Have you ever made acquaintance with Santa Claus?
As the sovereign of this land, I wish to create the best winter festival possible. Only, I find it exceedingly difficult to track that man down.
You are saying you don't know how to contact him? Then I suppose there is no other choice...
It is during times like these that I must go out and deliver happiness to the children of this land myself!
Bai Ze! Prepare the sleigh!
Bai Ze: The sleigh has already been prepared... But I won't pull it.
Pholia: Don't be ridiculous! (Captain), of course you'll be coming too! I hope you feel the winter spirit!

A soothing silence fills the air...
I prefer the tranquility of the holy night, as the raucous clamor of grand feasts only serves to vex me.
But of course, I speak only for myself. You are free to spend the day as you wish.
Do not mind me; go and celebrate with your fellow children of man.
Hm. You've brought the feast to me?
How admirable it is for you to remember the importance of divine offerings. As Tide Father, I must commend your thoughtfulness.
(Captain), you have my blessing for a wonderful holiday night.

(Captain), have you come to deliver another feast?
Ah, you desire to enjoy a meal here together with the Tide Father this year? Yes, that is commendable.
However, I must decline. Take your feast in hand. I shall accompany you inside the ship.
It is terribly cold tonight. Sitting on a snow-covered deck would surely be harmful to the constitution of a child of man.
Heh, not to worry. I have become somewhat accustomed to the noise of this ship. It is much like that of a shoal of small fish.
Therefore, it will not trouble the Tide Father to plunge into the banquet for a brief while.
Come, let's be on our way, (Captain). It is not my wish for you to fall ill.

(Captain), what has captured your attention outside the window?
Ah, it's snowing? Are you upset that the weather conditions have become unfavorable?
You were merely appreciating its beauty? I see. That is admirable.
In that case, turn from the window. If you wish to gaze upon a spectacle, you need look no further.
Why do you appear so surprised? As snow is merely another form of water, it's only natural that the Tide Father should be able to control it.
I imagine it must be chilly watching from near the window. Return to the warmth of the hearth and behold this personal snow shower.
The mortal form is fragile. If you fall ill from the cold, it will surely cast a shadow over the holiday feast. Consider it a blessing from the Tide Father.

Everyone's smiling from the bottom of their heart...
What is it, (Captain)? Hm? There's something you want me to help with?
What's this... Baking a cake? Mm... I'm not so sure.
(Takes me back to how I used to prepare meals for Dad and everyone else back at the factory.)
Okay then. Get ready for the best cake you've ever had.

Come look at the snow fall, (Captain). Isn't it stunning?
Hm? You challenge me to a snowball fight?
Well, I don't think that—
Guh! I never said I would—
(Captain)?
(Fled? No, I sense the captain nearby. Aiming for my blind spot perhaps?)
Humph. You seem intent on striking me with snowballs. This duel is just what I need to warm up with.
Bring it on, (Captain)!
Haaaah!

What in the world are you doing, (Captain)?
Huh? You're making festive wreaths?
(That's supposed to be a wreath? Hm, looks like mangled pieces of scrap or something... No, what am I thinking?)
Say, (Captain). How about I give you a hand with that?
I'm actually pretty good with handicrafts, including wreaths believe it or not.
Okay, pay close attention, because I'm about to show you how to make the prettiest holiday wreaths you've ever seen!

You have a job for me? Sure, okay. What is it?
What! You want me to go hunt down a chicken?
This is the first time anyone's ever asked me to stalk a bird. My craft usually focuses more on people.
But I suppose there's no reason I can't get the job done. I'll take it. How many should I aim for?
Huh? You want me to buy them not kill them? At the market? From a reputable seller?
Haha, okay. That sounds reasonable. Old habits die hard, don't they?

You know, it's strange. When I look at these lights...
I start feeling all warm inside.
Heh. I guess the soft glow reminds me of you and how you're always watching over me.
What? You never realized?
It's not just me. The whole crew feels this way.
I don't know if I'd call it parental but... There's something incredibly tender about you, (Captain).

Season's greetings, Cap'n!
Don't forget, if ya weren't good this year, Santa's not comin' to see ya!

So tonight's that special night, huh? I always used to look forward to presents from Santa.
Hmm? What kind of presents did I get?
Let's see... wooden toy tools, a model airship. Stuff like that.
That airship was my favorite. Wherever I went, I would always bring it with me.
Come to think of it, whatever happened to that thing?

Oy, (Captain). Get any presents from Santa Claus?
You're grinnin' from ear to ear, so I thought you might've...
Heh-heh. Seein' that smile on your face makes me smile too.
But watchin' all the kids get presents sure is hard for the adults.
Makes me wish I were a kid again.

What? You want my help giving out presents to the crew?
Haha, you came to the right place!
Right, so I'll dress up as Santa—
O-oh... You wanna be Santa, (Captain)?
Then I guess I'll be the reindeer...
Vyrn's got dibs on that? Well, whaddyou even need me for then?
Whaaat! The sleigh? Whaddya mean, the sleigh!
Oh yeah, go ahead. Have a real good laugh at ol' Rackam's expense...
Well, I guess you deserve to have your fun. Tonight's about celebration after all.
All right then! If it puts a smile on your face, I guess I'll be your sleigh, or whatever else you want!

You want my help makin' a wreath for the Grandcypher? You got it, Captain.
What? You don't know how they're made? So that's why you needed me.
I see, I see. Well, I got some bad news for ya, (Captain)...
I don't know, either.
Now what? If we just eyeball one and try to make our own any old how, it's sure to fall apart right away.
Welp, age before beauty, I guess. Let's ask Eugen.
That old man's a treasure trove of random knowledge. Betcha he'll know.

Is this something you do every year? Daaang, you guys are amazing. Like, I knew you were close, but that's on another level.
...
All right, all right! "When on Reiche" and all that, I guess.
I'm gonna gift the biggest present outta the whole crew!

Ah, so you've heard as well, (Captain).
There's an old man with a huge red bag who gives out presents to children...
And it seems he flies using his fists. Like, he punches the ground and sends himself to the air with the repercussion.
That accursed old hack! I'm going to stay up all night to get him. Stay with me and help, (Captain).

(Captain), last year I stayed up all night, but that old hack in red didn't show up.
But for some reason there were presents laid next to both my bed and your bed...
What could this mean?
Sigh... This is baffling. If he knew just how strong we were, he would've never come.
Ah! He must've snuck in when we weren't looking! And that's why he laid the presents down!
I can't believe he was able to do that! Grr! How much longer will you taunt me, you old fart!
We can't back down, (Captain).
We've gotta try even harder this year to challenge old red!

Get a load of this, (Captain)!
Check out all this stuff the old guy in red left us!
Ooh, a greeting card! "I look forward to meeting you again next year," it says!
You know what that means, Captain? The old-timer'll finally be ready to duke it out with me!
Whoo! Can't wait till next year!

Hey (Captain)! Come check out this box! It was sitting by my pillow when I woke up.
And it's bursting with food! There's even a message. "Take care of yourself."
You get it, right, (Captain)! They're tellin' me to eat up and build some muscle!
Darn that old red dude... What's he doing, sending provisions into the enemy camp? Tryin' to say I'm weak, huh!
Just you wait... (Captain)! We're training! I'm gonna get ripped and blow that red dude outta the water!

Damn it... When will that old red dude finally show his face around here?
He left food and a message card again before running away. He's messing with me... I know he is!
(Captain)! He spends his time flying through the air, right?
Why am I asking? So I can catch him, duh!
But I can't fly myself, so...
I'll jump real high and take him down!
Gonna need a lot of training before then, so help me out, (Captain)!

Urgh! Why does it always turn out so gross?
Gasp! Who's there? Oh, it's you, (Captain).
What are you doing up so late?
Oh, you were thirsty? O-okay, well, grab a drink and hurry back to your room.
Huh? Um, I'm not up to anything... Wait! Don't come over here!
What do you mean, what's that? Can't you tell it's a cake? I mean, it's a little soggy, but...
No! Stop! Don't look at me with those pitiable eyes!
Ungh, I wish I were dead! I'd rather embrace death than suffer this disgrace!
Huh? Oh... S-sure, you can help me.
Let's roll up our sleeves and bake the tastiest cake the crew's ever had!
That's right! There's nothing the two of us can't accomplish when we work together!

This went well! Hahaha! Have a look! This is what I can do!
...! Who is it? Oh, it's just you, (Captain).
Why are you here so late?
What? The sound of my voice woke you up? I see... You have my apologies.
Huh? What was I doing? I'm making a cake!
Look at it, (Captain)! It is the cake! Nothing like the disaster I made last year!
Hahaha! How do you like that? I've gotten quite skilled at this.
What? I should watch where I step? What are yo—
O-Ouch... Oh no... My cake...
Just when I finally made it right...
Why do I always slip up when it matters the most!
Don't you dare look at me with those pitiable eyes!
Ungh, I wish I were dead! I'd rather embrace death than be so humiliated!

???: Gah...
Razia: Who is it!
(Captain)?
What am I doing? What does it look like I'm doing? I'm knitting socks.
For what? It's obvious!
So Santa can put a present in it!
What do I want?
Hm... I want bullets for my cannonlance.
The bullets are custom order. I can't just buy them anywhere.
I asked my servants to purchase them for me, but they all insist they can't be bought.
So I need another way to get my goods!
That's why I've decided to ask Santa for them instead.
What? Why are you looking at me like that?
S-stop! Don't you dare look at me with those pitiable eyes!
Kill me! I'd rather be dead than looked at like that!

Cannonlance, all loaded up. Spare bullets, check...
All right. I think I'm good to go!
Hm? Oh, it's you, (Captain). Sorry, but I'm heading out for a bit.
Apparently, the forest near here is a roost for giant birds. I heard it from one of the villagers earlier.
And you know what today is, don't you?
Yup, and what spells out holiday feast better than spit-roasted bird?
So I'm off to hunt some drumsticks!
Don't look so worried! I can handle a few birds on my own. I'll show you!
Well then, (Captain). I'm off!

Special flame bullets are locked and loaded... This time, I won't fail!
Those birds are going to be in our bellies tonight!
Ah! (Captain)? Did you... overhear what I just said?
Oh... No, last year I just didn't expect the birds to be that big!
But I've made special preparations this year! No more problems!
So don't worry! All you've got to do is sit there and get hungry!
I'll be right back with the biggest roast chicken you've ever seen!

Oh, you were thirsty? O-okay, well, grab a drink and hurry back to your room.
Huh? Um, I'm not up to anything... Wait! Don't come over here!
What do you mean, what's that? Can't you tell it's a cake? I mean, it's a little soggy, but...
No! Stop! Don't look at me with those pitiable eyes!
Ungh, I wish I were dead! I'd rather embrace death than suffer this disgrace!
Huh? Oh... S-sure, you can help me.
Let's roll up our sleeves and bake the tastiest cake the crew's ever had!
That's right! There's nothing the two of us can't accomplish when we work together!

This went well! Hahaha! Have a look! This is what I can do!
...!
Who is it? Oh, it's just you, (Captain).
Why are you here so late?
What? The sound of my voice woke you up? I see... You have my apologies.
Huh? What was I doing? I'm making a cake!
Look at it, (Captain)! It is the cake! Nothing like the disaster I made last year!
Hahaha! How do you like that? I've gotten quite skilled at this.
What? I should watch where I step? What are yo—
O-Ouch... Oh no... My cake...
Just when I finally made it right...
Why do I always slip up when it matters the most!
Don't you dare look at me with those pitiable eyes!
Ungh, I wish I were dead! I'd rather embrace death than be so humiliated!

???:Gah...
Razia:Who is it!
(Captain)?
What am I doing? What does it look like I'm doing? I'm knitting socks.
For what? It's obvious!
So Santa can put a present in it!
What do I want?
Hm... I want bullets for my cannonlance.
The bullets are custom order. I can't just buy them anywhere.
I asked my servants to purchase them for me, but they all insist they can't be bought.
So I need another way to get my goods!
That's why I've decided to ask Santa for them instead.
What? Why are you looking at me like that?
S-stop! Don't you dare look at me with those pitiable eyes!
Kill me! I'd rather be dead than looked at like that!

Cannonlance, all loaded up. Spare bullets, check...
All right. I think I'm good to go!
Hm? Oh it's you, (Captain). Sorry, but I'm heading out for a bit.
Apparently, the forest near here is a roost for giant birds. I heard it from one of the villagers earlier.
And you know what today is, don't you?
Yup, and what spells out holiday feast better than spit-roasted bird?
So I'm off to hunt some drumsticks!
Don't look so worried! I can handle a few birds on my own. I'll show you!
Well then, (Captain). I'm off!

Special flame bullets are locked and loaded... This time, I won't fail!
Those birds are going to be in our bellies tonight!
Ah! (Captain)? Did you... overhear what I just said?
Oh... No, last year I just didn't expect the birds to be that big!
But I've made special preparations this year! No more problems!
So don't worry! All you've got to do is sit there and get hungry!
I'll be right back with the biggest roast chicken you've ever seen!

Ah, (Captain), eh? Ready to celebrate the holidays, I take it?
No matter how old I get, today never gets any less exciting to me.
Why, you ask? Because everyone just looks like they're having so much fun.
Okay! Let's make tonight's feast extra festive! I'm gonna work hard to give the whole crew a holiday feast like nothing they've seen before!

(Captain), could I ask you something?
I was thinking of dressing up as Santa Claus this year... What do you think?
If I dyed my hair and my beard white, it could work, right?
Oh, come on. I want to give the kids something to smile about.
I could throw a feast like I did last year, but I thought I'd step things up a notch.
Pretty good idea, huh?
Hm? Ahahaha! Don't worry, you'll get your present along with the rest of them!

Hm, I dunno...
Ah, (Captain). Guess you found me, huh. Since you're here, I've got something to discuss.
I was wondering how we could make this an entertaining night for everyone.
We had fantastic grub, and the kids all raved about my Santa Claus outfit last year.
What I'd give to see those smiles again...
...
You know, I don't exactly have to come up with something new to please everyone.
It's you who made me realize that. We must never forget our humble beginnings!
All right, time to go shopping for groceries. I've got a ton of cooking to do later.
That includes my own share too, of course! And I eat a lot!

Well, well. You signed up for this eating competition too, eh?
That should make this a holiday belly-battle to remember!
Hm? You thought this was gonna be a chicken challenge?
I can see why you'd think that, but nope! Tonight's a holiday cake-eating battle!
Dahaha! Cake is a pretty heavy food, so this is no amateur rumble!

Oh, (Captain)? What brings you here?
Me? I'm giving my stomach a little R & R.
This might be the best party we've had this year.
Good food, good friends... Smiles and cheery conversation everywhere I look.
And best of all, a satisfied stomach.
Didn't have you fun too, (Captain)?
Dahahaha! Then I've nothing more to say!

(Captain). I've kept watch on you for a year now with these eyes of mine.
So much has happened. You navigated through pain, grief, and joy, and came out a better person.
I respect that very much.
You deserve a proper reward. Please, tell me what you'd like for the holidays.
You don't consider me your mother? Fair enough, but perhaps you can see me as an aunt.
Why not the spend the day with your aunt—preferably as a child free of any worries.

Oh, (Captain). You'd like to help me with carrying these? Thank you. What a kind child you are.
Yes, these are presents for the children of Stardust Town. It's mostly a variety of playthings such as stuffed toys, wooden blocks, and airship models.
I know they would prefer everyday items that they can use, but I believe it's important for them to have time to play too.
You too, (Captain).
As with Tien and Feower. They are only a little older, yet they always play the adult, spending their time worrying about the other children...
It's wonderful that all of you care so much about others. Still... it's the holy night tonight. You should let yourself act your age sometimes too.
Hm... After you help me transport these, why don't you come to my room?
I shall treat you to something nice, as a mother would do for her child.

Oh, have you come to help me deliver presents again this year, (Captain)? Such a sweet child.
I will happily oblige. I happen to be picking out gifts right now. Why don't you help me with that?
I could go with classic toys, but trends and fads can be as fickle as the wind.
I'll defer to your better judgment, (Captain). Please do your best to help me so that I may help the children.
Haha. Thank you for sparing your time. I'm happy you're taking this so seriously.
And when we're done, I'll treat you to a delicious meal. You need to enjoy the holiday festivities too, after all.
You'll let me spoil you this year, won't you? Happy holidays, (Captain).

Thank you for inviting me to tonight's feast with the crew, (Captain). It was a perfect night filled with food and drink.
It must have taken a lot of time and effort to prepare this banquet. You deserve more than a pat on the back.
Oh, I know you've already received your gifts, but I'm not taking no for an answer.
No single present is sufficient thanks for all you've done.
Hm... May I sit on your bed? There we are.
Rei sits down on the edge of (Captain)'s bed and pats her lap, beckoning the captain over.
Come here. Let's take a quick break before we head over to the after-party.
I'm not just thanking you for today. This is for an entire year's worth of endeavors as a captain and skyfarer.
Besides, if you're not going to treat yourself to some fun from time to time, then it falls on me to make sure you're taken care of.

Good timing, (Captain). Here's your present. Catch.
You look surprised... I know it's not like me to partake in this gift-giving thing.
But there were more than a few fathers in my unit back in the day.
We all chipped in to give those little shrimps presents whenever the occasion arose.
So preparing presents for you all takes me back to those days...

Hm? Kind of surprising to see you here, (Captain).
Me? I'm out here on a grocery run.
Meat, vegetables, wheat, and what have you... They asked me to help out in the kitchen.
You know how tonight's that special night? Well, they needed more people to help prepare tonight's feast.
I'm not a real chef by any means, but I'm somewhat of a halfway-decent cook, and my muscles are better put to use with these sorts of errands anyway.
Wasn't too keen on it at first...
But seeing how gung-ho everyone was reminded me of how I used to do things back in the day.
So I can't go around town with you right now, but you can look forward to some good food later.

Hey there, (Captain). Sorry, but I'm kinda in a hurry right now.
The kitchen's been having some trouble. Apparently there's not enough cake to go around; someone didn't make a proper head count.
There's not enough ingredients left to complete the job, so I'm off to fetch more.
Huh? You want to join me? Nah, not necessary. I can handle it on my own.
It's chilly, so you might catch a cold.
Fine, fine. Just stop glaring at me. Guess it would be more efficient to have you along anyway.
Since you're going through the trouble, let me know if there's something you want. I'll get it for you as a thank you present.

What's this, (Captain)? A present for me?
What a conscientious captain.
I'm not a kid though. You should save the gifts for the children on the crew.
Hey, wait. Don't make those puppy eyes at me. I'm sorry. I'm not rejecting your gift.
All I meant is that the kids would appreciate it more—the shine's still on the apple for them.
My communication skills are failing me today, sorry. Here. This isn't an apology—just a gift.
Yeah... I thought you should have something for the holiday. If you're not too mad at me, go ahead and take it.

This my holiday present? You never miss a year, do you?
No, I appreciate it. And I've gotten used to your sentimentality.
I got you something too. Take it.
What do you mean, I didn't have to? You're a kid.
And you care about an old boor like me. If there really were a "nice list", you'd be right on top.
Happy holidays, (Captain).

Hah, I'm getting good vibes about tonight, (Captain). In fact it's making me itch for a gamble...
Yes sirree, I prefer a roll of the dice to eggnog and spice.
All right, (Captain), how's 'bout a wager?
Wanna see if the legendary man in red actually comes to town?
If you wake up tomorrow with a present next to you, then you win. And it's yours to keep obviously.
Heh heh, deal? Don't stay up too late tonight. You'll want to get a good night's rest.

Ahh, (Captain). Beautiful night, isn't it? My gambling heart aches like this every year.
But I won't do any of that tonight. Let's find a nice place and have a drink.
Hm? Am I trying to be a good little boy?
Hahaha! I don't need any presents from that gramps in red!
So what do you say? My treat! You'll have to settle for juice though.

Happy holidays, (Captain).
How about it, Captain? You up for a quick gamble to liven up this restless night?
We'll be betting our own time. The loser has to accompany the winner for the remainder of this festive day.
Huh? You were planning on hanging out with me anyway?
Guess I didn't have to bother with the roundabout invite after all.
Out with gamble night.
And in with candle night.

Check it out, (Captain). The holiday illuminations give the snow such a sparkly glow.
Seems like the perfect day to sit down at a swanky place for a grand feast.
I think I'm gonna bet this night on you...
Haha, okay! Let's get this show started...
Give me your hand, (Captain). I'm gonna show you a wonderful evening.
Heh, let's hope Lady Luck doesn't feel jealous when the day's over.

It appears that tonight is going to be a perfect winter wonderland for lovers.
What will you be up to this evening, (Captain)? Having a date of your own?
Now, now, what are you blushing for? You're as red as an apple.
Hmm? Could it be? Do you already have the perfect date in mind? Now I'm quite curious.
Why don't we flip a coin? If it's heads, I'll obey any one request of yours.
But if it's tails... You'll have to tell me who you're thinking so dearly of.
Ready to bet?

The feasts around this time of year usually have a wholly cooked bird, right? Is it a duck?
It's not like I like to eat duck... I just happened to remember something about a talking duck.
But I guess if I had to pick my last meal, I'd want it to be duck with olive marinade!

A holiday gift? For me?
Quite a curious thing to give a zombie a present...
But... I suppose I'm happy to receive it. Thank you...
Heh-heh... It's been some time since I've gotten a gift...

Here. Take this. It's a present.
You gave me a present last year, right? I thought I would pay you back.
I'm surprised that these little customs have become so natural for me. Up until now...
You know what? Never mind. I wouldn't want to say anything to spoil the festivities today.
Oh, that's right. There is one thing I should say though—happy holidays.

Well, fancy meeting you here...
You want know what I'm doing? I'd think it was obvious... Picking up supplies for the party.
No need to thank me for something so insignificant. I owe you, in any case.
Rather, I'm sorry this is all I can do...
What's that? Cooking?
I'll pass. No one in their right mind would eat food prepared by a zombie.
Choose: I would.
You really are an odd one. Still, if you insist, I might put something together next year.

...
...
Sigh... Fine, I'll say it. That's what you're waiting for, right?
Happy holidays. There, happy?
Choose: Look more lively!
I can't. I'm not supposed to be lively—I'm dead.
You really are a strange one. You want to see a festive-looking zombie that much?
It'd be one eerie spectacle that's sure to get some eyeballs popping.
Not your eyeballs. Mine. Having to find them again is a huge pain, you know.
...
I might not look it, but it's not like I'm bored or anything. You know that, right?
I'm having fun in my own way. I enjoy the time I spend with you, and not just at parties.
I know... You wish you could see that reflected in my attitude, right? You're just a kid after all—I can see right through you.
Well, you want to go get some food together then? Yes, I'll go with you.

Happy holidays!
I just finished sending presents back home. What can I say? I'm a family person.
Being out here all the time, I don't get many chances to visit my family.
Did you want a present too, (Captain)?
You want a personal bathtub? Just be careful not to let your head go underwater. That would make you a... tuba diver. Sorry. Three out of ten?
You're feeling hungry now? I'm all out of snacks, but... I can give you a hug!

It's a happy happy holiday... Nom, nom.
Oh, these? I'm decorating the tree with tasty treats.
You see, after the party we can just eat 'em! There's no need to clean 'em up—two birds with one stone! Genius, am I right?
Speaking of which, I've been eating a few myself while putting 'em up. Here, you want one?
You're good? More for me then, I guess!
Mmm... Oh gosh, they're so scrumptious and delicious...
Huh? They're all gone already! Why didn't you tell me sooner, (Captain)!
Oh geez, we gotta go out and buy some more! Come on, let's move it!

Happy holidays! How are preparations for the party coming along?
I'm making treats that look like Santa. Check them out!
What do you think? Aren't they cute?
You want to know how to make them? Here, let's make some together!
First cut a strawberry across the middle. Then squeeze a round dab of whipped cream into the opening in the larger half.
Next draw a face on the cream with chocolate. Finally, set the smaller half of the strawberry on top like a hat. And voila!
Not bad, (Captain)! You're really good with your hands. Want to make some more?
That one turned out cute too! Nice job! Let's keep up the momentum and fill up this tray!
What's that? You feel like you got suckered into helping? Whoops, you caught me red-handed!
But you're really good at it, and it's fun making them with you!
Would you mind helping me make some more if you have time? Well, what do you say?

Happy holidays! Are you enjoying yourself, (Captain)?
Hahaha! Don't worry—the preparations for the party are already finished!
I'm not cruel enough to make an innocent kid like you help out two years in a row!
But this year I've hit a different snag. You see, I don't have a date for the party yet.
With no one to go with, I guess I'll be eating all those holiday treats by myself.
Hmm... Do you think there might be a kind soul out there who'd accompany me to the party?
Really? You'll come with me?
I can't thank you enough, (Captain)! Then let's get going! Here, take my hand!

Happy holidays! You've been such a good kid this year, I just had to get you a present, (Captain)!
Hahaha! Shocked, are we? You shouldn't be, considering how generous I am! Giving gifts is what I do!
Ta-da! It's a wood craving of a bear! I bought it on the island where we held our last concert!
What's that you say? Sounds more like a souvenir than a holiday present?
Aw, phooey. I thought you would totally liked it too...
Oh well... Guess I've got no choice but to drag you into town and shop for a new gift! Grab your coat, (Captain)!

Hey there, (Captain). Hmm? Ah yeah, it's that special night, isn't it?
You came to invite me out to the festivities? Hahaha. I bet everyone is more lively than ever tonight.
Though it's a joy in itself just watching people have fun...
I agree that it's also important to have fun yourself. Thanks, Captain. I'd be happy to go out and join the festivities with you.

Happy holidays, (Captain).
Look, it's snowing. We'd best prepare the fires tonight.
Seeing the snow reminds me of the brilliant white petals that would fall in Verona.
Strange how the two are connected in my mind despite them being completely opposite seasons.

Happy holidays, (Captain).
I'm sorry to disturb you on this holy night, but I would like to discuss something with you.
You're familiar with the tale of how Santa Claus goes from house to house, right?
It occurred to me to pen a work based on said tale.
This holiday brings out joy in everyone, young and old.
If I can come up with a proper play, I'm sure it'll make countless people happy.
Which brings me to my request. I would like your opinion on the draft I'm writing.

There's a local theater troupe putting on a show for the holidays.
What surprises me is that it's the first stage play I wrote as Bill the Bard.
I'm glad other troupes have picked it up, but I didn't think I'd see it being performed at this time of year.
It's been a while, so I'll probably go have look while in disguise or something.
A play consists of actors and the audience, hence you could say a production is a living, breathing entity. Figuratively speaking of course.
I'm curious to see how they interpret my work and how it's received by the audience.
If you're free, would you like to go with me? I would definitely like to hear your opinion as well.

Oh, (Captain)... I was just here thinking about things.
I was looking out at the city in all its winter festivities. You can see the port area pretty well from here on the deck.
The warm glow in the dark of night... The heart yearns for the light in the cold of winter, yet the invisible distance between is wider and deeper than imaginable...
Oh, I was speaking in reference to a character in the play I'm working on right now. It wasn't about me.
Huh? A warm cup of milk? Did you bring this all the way here so we could drink it together?
This warmth... It reaches the depths of the heart. Yes, that could be a promising turn of events.
I appreciate it, (Captain). Thanks to you, I think this scene is going to come together nicely.

Today is truly a most blessed day. (Captain), are you all right spending it in a place like this?
You want to spend the holiday with me? Very well, then! Let us talk about our everlasting friendship.

On a most holy night, under the warm fire's light, two share a moment of joy. Joined by the bond of their care for each other.
Okay, time to call it a day.
Aaah! (Captain)! How long have you been standing behind me?
N-nothing! I'm not writing anything special! Just a diary of sorts!
N-no, I'm afraid I can't show it to you right now! It's a diary after all! Can't be showing that to everyone now can we!
Ah! Yes, the party! I'd better go get ready! See you there!
(Whew, that was a close one. It's still not ready. It needs a lot of work before I can show it to anyone.)

The winds of winter night whisper to me... Let us alight. The time has come. To new skies we go!
(Captain)! I'm sorry; I hope I didn't disturb you. I was reading a play and got carried away.
It's a play enjoyed by all ages. In my younger days I saw it with my family a number of times.
I remember it like it was yesterday. What a beautiful performance it was. The first time I ever saw it, it moved me to my very core.
And ever since I've been an admirer of this play. I've been a patron of many a performance, but this one truly stands out from the rest.
Hm? You'd like to see it? Then please, allow me to perform it for you. It'd be much more interesting that way.

Have a look at this snowfall, (Captain)!
...
These snowflakes dance in the night sky like white flower petals. And the way the street's lights filter through it all...
There's no other word for it but breathtaking!
Yet they are petals that disappear at a touch.
Beauty is fleeting—
Achoo!
Haha, whoops. Obviously it's quite cold out.
Let's go inside.
There's a party waiting for us.

You can go anywhere on this ship and still feel the warmth of the holiday spirit. It's great.
Maybe it's just me, but whenever I hear the joy in someone's voice, I feel this swell of emotion in my chest.
Exuberant conversations take place by snow-covered windows, in contrast to quiet toasts shared between intimate friends. The gentle glow of calming candles blankets us all.
A symphony of colors drapes across rows of evergreen, serenaded by instruments that sing like a joyous chorus. My heart leaps out to join in dance, and—
Whoa! What's gotten into me?
Er, I was just reciting a verse from an old play! There's no way I could ever improvise something like that on the spot!
Anyway, the party is about to start. Let's not keep everyone waiting.

Everyone in town is really busy, so you know it must be time for the holidays.
A greeting card? You want me to make one because everyone else is? Hmm, should I make a collage?

A holiday party? I'm sorry, but I'm not fond of noisy gatherings.
I'll just bring some food and cake to my room and eat it alone.
N-no, you don't have to keep me company. Don't say such useless things.
Well, if you sit quietly, then I guess I don't mind...

And today marks the start of such festivities...
(Everyone's getting carried away in the foolishness of it all...)
I have many fond memories of holiday get-togethers with my family.
Hm? You suggest we all have cake together?
Well, if it's just eating cake, I'll oblige.
Thanks.

Ah yes... I've still yet to decide what to bring to the gift swap.
(Of course, I'm not sure I'm cut out for partying with everyone. Maybe I'll take a pass this time.)
Then again, I've already made this picture with the season's festivities in mind. I wonder if anyone would actually appreciate it.
Sigh... Never mind...
Choose: That sounds like a great present.
Does it?
Well, here. You sign it with your name, and then I'll feel better about giving it away. Good. Glad that's settled.

Heading to bed already, (Captain)? Did all the fun at the holiday party wear you out?
(I see. Then you ought to get some sleep.) That works out perfectly. I'll sneak this collage into the room once (Captain)'s asleep...
Gasp! P-pretend you didn't hear that...
A gift for you? I have no such thing. Don't get your hopes up.
Now, good night. And... keep the door unlocked, okay?

Happy holidays, Captain.
This is a special time of year, so let's make tonight a night we'll never forget!

Well now, you seem to be in good spirits, (Captain). Are you looking forward to seeing Santa?
Perhaps you think you're not a child anymore. But I think Santa will be the judge of that.
To Santa, anyone could still be a child.
Hehe. Just keep an ear out for him. His jolly laugh echoes through the snowy skies.
If you hear him, then he must be coming soon. Happy holidays!

(Captain), for you, what's the significance of this holiday? Is it a time to spend with a loved one? Or perhaps...
Hehe... For me, it's a day to spend with friends. Hmm... The cookies will be a while...
Would you like to take a walk with me?
Let's stroll down these dazzling streets together. I bet it'll be something you won't forget.

Io and the others went out. Apparently there was some event in town.
Wait... That means you and I are all alone, doesn't it?
Hehe... The holiest of nights is upon us, and it seems that my present has arrived a little early.
There's still time until the party, how about we have a nice cup of tea together?

Oh dear. I see you can't sleep either, (Captain).
Hehe, just remembering the wonderful party we had is enough to give me another boost of energy.
Io certainly got a little too excited, didn't she?
It didn't take long for the exhaustion to catch up to her, of course, but she looked absolutely adorable while drifting off.
I'm sure you're tired as well, but knowing you, you're forcing yourself to stay awake.
Perhaps Santa's taking a bit too long to stop by, so you decided to go seek him out instead?
Hehe, I'm only kidding. I know all too well how a festive night can keep you awake for hours.
Since we're both awake anyway, why don't we keep each other company for the rest of this short night?

Happy holidays, (Captain). I see you're busy preparing for the party.
Trying so hard to make sure the crew has a good time. You're such a dear!
Let me give you a hand. I love cooking!
I'll make a delicious feast for the whole crew to enjoy tonight!

Well, look at that. The whole ship is bustling.
Everyone has smiles on their faces—what a wonderful night.
Haha. Believe it or not, I've got more than a few cherished memories of this festive night.
Back when I lived with my husband, I would make a small feast.
Then we would stay up a little later than normal.
It was only the two of us back then, but we were happy together.
Yes, this festive night is just filled with memories.

Have you asked Santa Claus for what you want yet, (Captain)?
Tonight is all about the anticipation, heehee.
Me? Oh, I'm just an old biddy now. We don't get presents, y'know.
What's this? A cute little package for me, (Captain)?
Oh my stars! If this isn't a present, I don't know what is.
You've just made my night! My very own humdinger of a Santa!
I'm touched. I'll put it to good use. Thank you very much, my dashing princeGran is the Main Character/darling princessDjeeta is the Main Character.

(Captain), don't you think holiday trees are wonderful?
Each and every light is sparkling with the wishes of all sorts of people.
What about you? Do you have any wishes you want to make tonight?
I think... I'd ask for the good health of that person.
If that person under a faraway sky is spending their days in good health, then that's enough for me.
Well, truthfully I do get lonely sometimes, but...
With you by my side, I'm plenty happy as is.

Oh my... Is that a hymn we're hearing?
Hehe, this sure brings back memories of when I married my husband.
It was like a dream come true, being able to finally tie the knot... I can't help but smile whenever I remember it.
But that's enough of me rambling about the past.
Hopefully one day you too can find someone wonderful to become your partner. I'll be rooting for you.

The holidays are the perfect time to spend with family.
Oh, Kunlun... I'm so sorry I can't be with you right now.
I can't imagine how lonely you must feel... Ah, aah, aaah!
(Captain)! Let's go back to my hometown! No, we have to go back! Please!

Hey, (Captain). Can you come shopping with me?
There's something I want to get for Kunlun.
Oh, and of course I'll get you something too.
It's kinda chilly outside, so dress warm!

(Captain), check out this tree.
I decorated this one myself, starting with chopping it down in the forest.
How do you like all the fluffy trinkets I decked it out with? Isn't it just lovely?
This is one of my better creations. As for this teddy bear modeled to look like you...
Wha? You thought it was a reindeer? No way—it's not that bad!

(Captain), what do you think of this teddy bear?
Oh, it's not for me. I thought it might make a nice holiday gift for Kunlun.
Ah, so I see you, too, find it hopelessly adorable. Good, I've decided.
Guess I'll pick one up for myself too.
Oopsie, don't mind me! All I said was happy holidays! Really!

Happy holidays, (Captain). Heh, I think even the animals can feel the holiday cheer tonight.
As for me, I'm plenty happy with being able to spend it with you in this quiet forest.
It reminds me of the holy nights I had back in my hometown, surrounded by trees just like this.
We didn't have any fancy lights or ornaments, but we didn't need them to chat the night away and have fun together.
The cakes Kunlun baked sure were amazing too.
And I'm not just saying that because I'm her brother. Everyone in the village always wanted a piece.
Yeah... This feels exactly like those good ol' times.
Hey, (Captain). It's nice to take it easy sometimes instead of an all-out celebration, right?

It's almost that time of the year again... Hmm, what should I get for (Captain)...
Wah! (Captain)! Where'd you come out from!

Red alert, red alert! (Captain)! The Red General is mounting an attack!
On a silent and holy night, when all are fast asleep, when they least expect it... Ka-boom, ka-boom!
An aerial present bomb strike!
Our army's shouts of joy turns to screams of agony!
(Captain)! Are countermeasures ready?
Make sure to check the marshmallow trenches and barricades of holly!
And most important, the turkey stronghold!
W-what I'm trying to say it... Happy holidays!

(Captain)! Are you looking forward to the party? I sure am!
About the dinner... Actually, one of the dishes is a turkey I caught.
Ah! Aaah...
D-don't pat my head! Don't treat me like a child; I'm a full-grown woman!
Well, I do guess today of all days it's all right to go back to being a child...
B-but look at all this cake!
I-is it really okay to eat all of this?
Ah! Aaah...
I told you not to pat my head!

(Captain)!
How is this stocking meant to be used?
I received one just now, but I can't figure out its purpose for the life of me.
Hm? Hang it near the tree and Santa will put presents inside?
Th-that's a custom for children, isn't it?
Like I've told you so often before, I am an adult!
Well, it's fun enough anyway, and I wouldn't want to be a wet blanket.
Even if it is child's play, I am bound by duty to give my all.
What I mean to say, (Captain), is come hang up your stocking together with me!

(Captain)! Preparations for the holiday party are proceeding as planned!
About the celebratory tree... Don't you think the bird feathers I topped it off with look so wonderfully resplendent?
Haha, I gathered them myself. I consider it an honor to be able to contribute to the holiday cheer!
I've also prepared candy canes, bells, ribbons, and all sorts of sparkly decorations—that's including the shiny star on top!
I-I'm being a little too excited, you think? Well, that's just perfect for the holiday season!
Oh, right! (Captain), do you think you can help me put up some of the decorations?

Because I'm the only one who can fly?
Heh... You mortals sure have it rough.
Fair enough. I'll be nice for once considering the occasion, so hand over the presents.
I'll finish this up in a flash. Watch and see how the great Sandalphon gets things done.

Snow... It reminds me of the research lab.
I remember a day when I heard he would be returning, so I waited in the garden, watching the snow pile up by the hour.
The other researchers were surprised I was still there despite his no-show.
I still enjoyed it though. That serene white scenery, never changing day in and day out, was quite beautiful.
Hnph. Sorry you had to listen to that boring story.

Mm, those greetings I'm hearing can only mean one thing.
The annual winter holiday has arrived again.
Now then, what was it that you came to see me about?
A party invitation? Well, I'm still not used to the hurly-burly of crowded venues...
You say a famous cafe might be serving their renowned coffee?
Ah, that's right. Mortals tend to complement their coffee with something on the sweeter side, such as cakes.
Hm... Since you've taken the liberty of inviting me, then I can't say I have much reason to refuse.

(It appears that tonight is a holy night on which mortals spend their time celebrating the winter season with their loved ones.)
(Upon coming into contact with this custom a number of times, I find myself thinking how I would very much like to make a cup of coffee for you as well.)
(Though I cannot see you anymore, I'm sure that under this starry sky, you too, can...)
(Captain), you came to tell me that the preparations for the party are done?
All right. I'll be right there, after I finish this cup of coffee.

Oh, it's you. Don't mind me. Just staring off into the night sky.
Winter nights sure are mysterious... No other season compares to their beauty, yet at the same time they also evoke a feeling that resembles dread.
Keep staring into the darkness, and it's like the void is extracting your very consciousness from your body...
And where that soul is being taken to within the vast emptiness, no one knows...
Hmph... Sorry. I was getting a little too sentimental.
Well, let's head to the party. After all, you came to get me, didn't you? I just hope there's still some food left.

Happy holidays!
I get so excited looking at all the lights in town and all the decorations. The trees look so pretty!

So this decoration goes here and... Maybe we could use more fluff to make it look snowy! What do you think, Graphos?
Ah! You were here all along, Captain? Mm...
I'm making this tree festive by decorating it with pine cones.
I wish I had a present for everyone dear to me...
Volenna, Lyria, Jin...
And, of course, you and everyone else on the crew.
Actually, you've probably already figured it out. But here's my present for you, Captain!

Hmm, hmm...
Ah, (Captain)! Please, don't look!
Ah, sorry! I'm not mad at you or anything!
It's just... the crew taught me, remember? I'm making holiday cards for everyone.
For Volenna and Jin...
Of course, you and Lyria as well!
I'll give it to you once it's done, (Captain). So until then... No peeking, okay?

Wow! This is so delicious!
Isn't it? And we're not even done with the meal, Lyria!
Oh! (Captain)! Happy holidays!
We were asked by the cooks to taste-test the food.
Every single dish they have prepared tastes wonderful. I feel like I'm in heaven!
And they're not just a delight to eat, they're also a sight to behold. There's so much...
I want to be able to make food this well one day!
I'll do my best to make food that you and Lyria will love to eat!

Yaaawn... Oh, I'm sorry, (Captain)! I didn't mean for you to see that...
Hehe... The dinner with everyone was so fun, and the food was delicious. I got a little ahead of myself back there!
I guess I should head back to my room now.
Huh? You'll walk me to my room? Thank you so much!
Oh, it's starting to snow! Hehe, the moonlight is making the snow sparkle. It's so pretty!
But... no matter how pretty it is, I guess it'd feel cold and lonely if I were looking at it by myself.
I'm sure it looks pretty because I have you, Lyria, Volenna, and everyone with me.
I don't need presents or anything else. Just having all of you with me makes my holy night complete!

Every holiday season brings my dream of bringing Honey back closer to reality.
With each hardship she endures, she gets that much closer to being made flesh once again.
Then finally we can share so many romantic evenings together!
The ringing of the bells, the falling snow—we will enjoy all of it hand in hand!
Aaah!

Is it the holiday season already?
My feelings for Honey are stronger than ever at this time of year!
We hold hands in the cold of night to show our affection for each other!
The chilly gusts of wind do not deter us! Fleeting specks of snow melt away in the face of our intense passion!
Nothing can get in the way of our love! And I'll prove it tonight!
Aah!

Ahchoo!
Ah, the night breeze got the better of me. I should be okay though.
I was watching the winter snow with my Honey.
It felt cold at first, but the beauty of Honey standing against the backdrop of the gentle snowflakes fluttering in the twilight firmament made me lose track of time.
I caught a cold, but Honey seems to be okay. Ah, such is the power and beauty of a spirit.
I must admit I cower every time I'm reminded of the many differences between people and spirits—the hurdles I must overcome are oh-so great...
But triumph over such obstacles is precisely the key to strengthening the everlasting love between Honey and I!
Ahh!

Happy holidays, (Captain). Do you happen to know where the party is to be held?
Yes, this year I thought I would join in on the fun too. Rare, I know.
Haha. Actually Honey told me, "I'll worry if you catch a cold like last year, so please stay in your room."
Hehe. Well, I mustn't make light of Honey's concern. Hehehe.
But, then again, 'tis the season for cheer, and I would love the chance to chat with you, (Captain).
After all, the relationships we build and how we choose to develop them are truly the point of adventure, are they not?
Sometimes I get down in the dumps. But I guess all this time with Honey has changed me, hasn't it?

Sarunan: ...
Honey: ...
Sarunan: Haha. Indeed, what a wonderful night it is, Honey.
Oh, (Captain). Happy holidays.
As you can see, I decided to have my meal in this little corner of the mess hall.
Oh no, it doesn't feel lonely in the slightest. While everyone else is carousing around, I have Honey beside me.
To be able to enjoy a quiet meal while surrounded by the chatter of comrades fits my personality rather well.

Aaah!

Spending the holiday season with the crew sure makes things interesting. And Honey doesn't seem to mind it either.
I myself usually just like to stay in with Honey.
But I don't mind going out with her to see the crew when she's in good spirits.

Season's greetings, (Captain). Honey and I are having a wonderful time.
Hm? You wish to know what I desire as a gift?
...
Haha, I must say I'm rather surprised myself. I can't think of anything.
Just being here alone with Honey on a special day like this...
Is greater than any gift I could ever ask for.

Sarunan: Season's greetings. I've already picked up some food.
I don't have much of an appetite right now, but that small cook—Elmelaura I believe her name was—prepared a small mousse cake to help me blend in with the festivities.
Honey: ...
Sarunan: Of course I thanked her, Honey. But maybe it didn't come across right?
As I'm sure you know, my people skills are lacking. Perhaps more appropriate words of gratitude will come to me as I empty this plate.
Haha... It's funny how I'm not feeling hungry in the slightest, yet I can't stop eating this. That little lady is one amazing patissier.
Honey: ...
Sarunan: What's that, Honey? You think I should share some with (Captain)? Nuh-uh, this is my cake.
But if (Captain) insists, I suppose I could share a single bite.

Thank you for inviting me to another wonderful holiday gathering.
Hehe... Lately I've been trying to show my gratitude whenever it's due.
Too often fellow crew members have done something for me, be it an offering of food, medicinal herbs, or whatnot...
And I always realize too late that I didn't get a chance to say thanks.
So thanks again for having me, (Captain).

Wow! Look at all that snow, (Captain)!
The way the lights of the city mingle with the snow is so beautiful!
It's super cold tonight, but seeing the smiles on everyone's faces as they walk through the city fills me with warmth.
Hee hee! Something tells me this is gonna be fun!

Hmm. Santa comes in the night to deliver presents to good little children doesn't he?
It's truly a mystery where all those presents come from, not to mention the motive behind why the culprit would do such a thing.
Don't tell me he steals them from somewhere. Hehe.
Wait... Appears and vanishes without a trace... Steals...
Santa must be Chat Noir!
Just kidding! I'd never jump to a conclusion like that. Especially when I've never met the guy.
Be extra careful not to tell Barawa I suggested that okay?
If you do, he might just try to catch Santa!

Sarya: Happy holidays... (Captain), I've uncovered a frightful mystery.
Look! It's a gift from Detective Barawa! A plushie named Mr. Fluffles!
While it might look adorable at first, observe what happens when I push his tummy...
Mr. Fluffles: Gack!
Sarya: Eek! L-look at his face! Disturbing, isn't it?
Why... Why in the skies would a toy maker want to have a toy do this...
And what in the world was the detective thinking when he got this for me! This should be a crime!
Oh, do you want to try squeezing Mr. Fluffles's tummy? Be my guest.
Mr. Fluffles: Gack!
Sarya: Eek!

Isn't the holy night such a mysterious thing? Just saying it out loud makes me feel all giddy inside.
It has such a gentle, peaceful ring to it... that it feels romantic in a way.
When I asked Siero, she said it's because this is the season for Santa to make his appearance, and my name kind of sounds like his.
I know that's a bit of a stretch—okay, a really big stretch—but oddly enough I was convinced!
Just the thought that people all over might be saying my name indirectly feels strange yet nice.
Detective Barawa saying my name gives me a jolt of optimism, and you saying my name makes me feel relaxed.
So feel free to call out my name more often, (Captain)—any time you want.

Oh, it's (Captain)! Happy holidays! I wasn't expecting to see you here!
It's very cold, so I thought everyone would stay inside. I've been waiting her for a while though.
Why? Well every year on this holy night, snow falls and covers the ground. But it hasn't started snowing yet, right?
I decided to watch the skies. It still looks awfully clear though.
Look for yourself. I guess the starry skies are just as romantic as fluffy white clouds!
Oh, that's right! I saw a shooting star a moment ago! Probably thanks to how clear it is.
Look! Look! There goes another one!
Wow! And another—there's so many!
Hurry, let's make a wish before they're all gone!
If you wish hard enough, I bet Santa will come grant it for you!

Do you have a favorite holy night dish, (Captain)?
Chicken, roast beef, turkey, pie, gingerbread cookies, fruit cake...
I don't think I can choose a favorite. They're all so tasty.
Did you know us Primal Pals throw a holy night party on the years we manage to make it happen?
I'm thinking this year is going to be the wildest party we've ever had now that you and the crew are joining in!
Haha, I can't wait! We're going to have a blast!

Happy holidays, (Captain)!
All of us are decorating the tree to celebrate the winter season!
Oh, you noticed? That's right—all the decorations are made out of folded paper!
We wanted to do something even more festive than last year, so we decided to make the decorations together.
Come join us! You can have... this gold paper! It's perfect for a star like you.
I bet tonight's party is going to be amazing! I can't wait for evening to arrive!

Ho ho ho! Here's a present from Santa Claus to someone who's been very good this year!
Just kidding! What do you think? Do I sound like Santa?
You've met Santa Claus before, haven't you, (Captain)?
I was actually thinking of secretly handing out presents to all the primal pals while they're sleeping!
That's what Santa does, right? So I decided to dress up and look the part too!
I hope they'll be happy! Hehe. I'm excited to see how they'll react!

Wow! What beautiful singing!
Listen, (Captain). Hear the song coming from the church? Isn't it just wonderful?
I think they call them hymns, right? Oh, if only I could sing like that.
Maybe if I practiced really hard... Yes, I bet I could!
Then the primal pals would be so surprised when I sing in front of them!
Awww, that'd be a blast. If you want, you should practice with me!

Hmm... So there's a holiday party tonight. A chance to gather around the dining table with new faces for mirth and merriment.
But why is it only held on the longest night of the season?
Surely such a gathering like this isn't all that uncommon?
You're saying that you mortals consider it to be more exceptional if it's limited to just a single day of the year?
I see. I shall remember that.
Well, I don't care what day it's held on as long as the festivities are interesting.

A holiday banquet from the most skillful cooks on board... you've certainly gone all out.
The flavor might be impressive, but first and foremost the dishes look great. This is very much a feast for the eyes.
The presentation is meant to make the food look more appetizing, but that isn't all.
It's also way to show thanks to the living beings who gave themselves for this meal. It's a way of showing the joy of breaking bread with companions...
And of course it's a thoughtful gesture toward everyone gathered around the table.
One could call it proof that you're grateful to the ancient bloodline that devised the culinary arts, and you've refined them even further.
How interesting this all is.
We can't let the food get cold now. (Captain), it's an honor to take part in this feast with you.

I see... So that is Santa Claus. A being that appears in the night and bestows gifts upon mortal children...
But were his origins in small miracles that grew to attain the stature of legend? Or are they to be found in a legend that gave birth to miracles?
In any case, he likely lives not by the laws that govern mortals, though his form may be different from that of the true dragons.
To one such as I, the life of a mortal is short. The childhood of such mortals is even more fleeting; it flits by quicker than even the blink of an eye.
However, your fragility is such that you may crumble to dust, even as that eye is yet blinking.
And perhaps... That is why Santa Claus hoped to impart something unto your kind. His reasons are, I suppose, not incomprehensible to me.
It seems that, apart from primal beasts, there are many beings which grace these skies and yet live free from the constraints of mortality—many more than I had thought.
There may yet be others, aside from Santa Claus, who have watched over you from when you were but a child, (Captain).

What a coincidence it is to see you here, (Captain). Happy holidays!
Hm? Ah, I was on my way to the kitchen. I was hoping they could share some of their coal with me.
Elisheba sent me a lamp for the holy night, you see. I'd like to keep it burning tonight.
Look at this lamp. Superb craftsmanship, wouldn't you agree? The maker's design is so intricate—apparently it is custom to portray the sun in this way.
Winter nights are long—the holy night especially. For this reason, the people of Alster Island find themselves longing for the light of the sun.
This lamp also hangs from the roof of the Great Court. It would be lovely if we could enjoy this light on the ship too...
What's the matter, (Captain)?
Oho? The kitchen may be busy now in preparation for tonight's feast, you say? Ah, yes. It would be improper of me to get in their way...
I suppose I'll have to ask someone versed in fire magic, then. Do you have time, (Captain)? Can you think of anyone in the crew who could be of help?

Feasts, Santa Claus... I once thought that I knew everything of the holy night.
But it is not great banquets and gift giving in the night that is important, is it? It is the lack of logic and reasoning behind it.
The natural wish to bring cheer to those you treasure and hold dear.
Trying to assign logic and reason to affection is a pointless task...
From a mortal perspective, I have taken a long time to come to this realization. The fault of living a long life, I suppose.
This discussion itself is also pointless in a way. I apologize for taking up your time, (Captain).
We should return to enjoying the festivities—take advantage of these few days a year that we have them.

Happy holidays! I get so excited seeing all the gorgeous decorations.
You know, my grandfather told me he once met Santa Claus. I wonder if it's true...

(Captain), a moment of your time if I may.
Well, thank you.
About tonight's special holiday banquet everyone's been waiting for...
Would it be all right if I provided some entertainment? I've prepared a repertoire of holiday songs.
I can? Thank you! I'm going to put on my best performance yet.
The banquet's finally here. Nothing would bring me more joy than to help make wonderful new memories.
Heehee. I bet the food will be delicious, but please don't forget about my concert, (Captain)!

Hey, (Captain). Happy holidays!
I was just in the middle of tuning.
That's right. I'll be performing again for this year's holiday banquet.
But unlike last year, this year I went the extra mile and helped with preparing the feast.
You've always got to keep challenging yourself. It's a surefire way to get on Santa Claus's good—
Ah!
Er, you didn't hear that. Okay? Nothing at all...
A-anyway, I hope you look forward to hearing my performance at the banquet!

Ah, happy holidays, (Captain).
What's wrong? You seem a bit fidgety.
The get-together dinner? Yes, I'm thinking of performing this year as well.
Let me guess... You were looking forward to it? Ah, that makes me so happy...
Haha, I'm going to express the joy I feel right now through my music later tonight.
I hope you'll like it, (Captain).

Oh? Look, (Captain)! It's snowing! I suppose we'll be having a holy night filled with white.
This reminds me of a story my grandpa used to tell me.
If you see dancers in the snow on a holy night, it's a sign that you'll meet someone who will change your life.
Supposedly the dancers in the snow are breathtakingly beautiful, and I used to wish every year that it would snow so I could see one.
Hehe, I never did end up spotting a single dancer in all those years. But I'm lucky enough that I've had two life-changing encounters without them!
The first was my grandpa coming to live with me after my parents passed away.
The second, of course, was meeting you and the rest of the crew!

Hey, Captain! Um, happy holidays? I've seen it in a picture book!
Yeah! It's a holiday where, if you're good, Stanley Claus will let you ride in his sled, right?
Wrong? Well, anyway, this is my first winter so I'm going to do my best!
Umm... What am I supposed to do, exactly?

Happy holidays!
I decided to be Santa this year. I have a present for you too, (Captain)...
Ah! Oh no... That was supposed to be a secret...
Um... (Captain), make sure you go to sleep early tonight!

Nya-di-da!
Ah, (Captain)! Happy holidays!
Did you hear that just now?
Clarisse and Ladiva were teaching me this holiday tune...
It's still kind of embarrassing for me...
But it's a really fun little melody though. You ought to sing it with me sometime.
Ehehe.

Zzz... Zzz...
Sen slumbers at the very tip of a decorated tree, keeping her balance through some kind of cat witchery.
Mmh... Is that you, (Captain)?
Sen descends from the tree in a single leap, rubbing the sleep from her eyes.
Yawn... I fell asleep...
Um... I wanted to put the star on top of the tree, so I climbed up.
But the lights from town were so pretty, I got lost in them, and before I knew it...
What? Oh. I'm still holding on to the star. Guess I forgot to set it on top...
You wanna climb back up with me? The way the view glitters—it's breathtaking!

Ah, (Captain). Happy holidays.
Did you notice the tree decorations? I made those fluffy pom-poms myself.
I actually got tangled up in all the wool when making them...
The different types of wool led to the pom-poms giving the impression of a calico cat. I love the look.
I ended up making too many of the tri-colored pom-poms, so you're free to have some for yourself, (Captain).

Happy holidays!
This is finally going to be the year we get the Eternals together for a party. I can feel it!
Wonder if they'll show up, though...

Oh, hello, (Captain)! Perfect timing. You wouldn't happen to be... free this evening?
You are, are you? Gotcha, gotcha. Care to spend this most splendid evening with me then, my dearest (Captain)?
Oh, don't ask why. You want it spelled out for you?
It's a secret, I'm afraid! Let's just say that sometimes a leader like myself wants an excuse to show off.
Heheh... So I'll see you later! I trust you'll be ready?

Even I have fond memories of this holy night. For example, I used to ride with Santa in his red sleigh and we would travel the world.
What? You don't believe me? My memories are not lies. I even remember how fluffy the reindeer were.
Proof? Why would you ask for something like that? These are my childhood memories!
A-all right. If you must have proof, I guess I could show you some. Oh! But wait! All the proof's at home.
What? We could write a letter to Santa? Haha. You're a clever one.
All right. You write the letter and then give it to me. Then I'll go get a reply.
Why? Because Santa is my friend. We meet every single year.
Enough with the details. Go to it. I'll be sure to get a response from him. (Hmm... Now what should I write in the response letter to (Captain).)

(Captain)! Feast your eyes on this tree! I cut it down in the woods and decorated it all myself!
Well? Pretty gorgeous, right? Man... Brings me back to the days when I was known as the timber wunderkind!
With my unparalleled sword accuracy and technique, I mastered the art of carving trees. Did you know?
Something about your face tells me that you don't believe me now, do you?
(Aww... I actually did though.)
Huh? You don't believe me, but it's fine since the tree looks nice?
Hahaha! I see, I see! Welp, it's fine if you've taken a liking to it, I guess!

Why hello, (Captain)! Welcome to the Eternals' winter party!
I'm impressed how on time you are—that's what I like about you. You should be proud of yourself.
Huh? Are there any other guests? O-of course there are! It's an Eternals' party, after all!
Well... They all seemed to have other plans and are going to be a little late though.
Oh, look! It's already time! Why don't the two of us get started first? Yeah, let's do that!
I went out and found a whole bunch of rare delicacies! See!
This is a dish made by broiling the meat of a legendary 24-karat fowl born from a golden egg... And here's some fruit I picked on a certain long-forgotten island...
Hey, you aren't listening at all, are you! You're standing there looking like you're ready to dig in!
(That's strange... I really did do my best to find all sorts of rare cuisine... Could it be that (Captain) doesn't believe me?)

Seasons greetings.
Santa had better be careful when he comes to Karm this year.
No, I'm not bitter he didn't bring me any presents. Absolutely not...

So you decided to visit me on this holiday eve...
Humph... You really are needy, aren't you?
Unfortunately, I'm not particularly interested in celebrating the season.
I never was much for holiday celebrations, you see...

You don't learn, do you?
I've already told you I want no part in the festivities of this night.
Everyone is waiting for you. Go to your friends...
Ugh... Stop making that face. I don't care if you consider me a friend as well...

The snow fluttering down this holiday night... It glitters so brightly in the darkness...
Snicker... It's not so bad to relish the bleakness beneath a frigid sky.
...
Hm... Oh, it's you, (Captain). Need something from me?
N-no... I'm not feeling lonely! I was just giving myself over to the bleakness.
And I've told you I don't want any part in the festivities.
...
What is it? Don't you want to be with everyone else?
Heh heh... Ah, so you've been entranced by the snow.

(Captain), what's the matter?
I told you... I'm going to spend the holy night outside watching the snow.
You should go back inside. Everyone will be worried.
Hey, cut it out! Don't pull my mask like that! Just because you want me to come with you...
Don't you think you've been getting more and more pushy with me lately?
Okay, okay!
Damn it... Fine, I'm just going to be in the corner, you got that!

Happy holidays!
My homeland of Irestill also gets rather lively around this time of year.
However, I haven't celebrated with friends like this since my father, the king, was in good health.
But very well. If we must celebrate, we should do it right. I don't do things halfway after all.

When my father was still alive, on a snowy night just like tonight, I walked the streets of the town with Heles and Naoise.
The holiday lights provided ample warmth on that frigid eve.
That alone made it a night I would never be able to forget...

It's quite lively aboard the Grandcypher today. That can only mean that the winter holiday has finally come.
Even so you shouldn't get too worked up tonight. You wouldn't want to doze off too early.
Heh... The children wait for Santa Claus with unbridled anticipation.
Me? Oh, I can't seem to remember how old I was when I outgrew it...

It appears many islands use fir trees to celebrate the occasion. I find it surprising.
Because we only ever used evergreen trees in Alster.
Why, you ask? We have many theories about it on the island, but...
When we prepare for winter during the autumn, we stockpile a great reserve of arrows. And to make these arrows, we use evergreen wood.
My ancestors always believed those trees to be responsible for our ability to survive the harsh winters.
Which is why we decorated the evergreen trees to show our thanks. Intriguing, don't you think?
But enough talk. Our holiday feast of the year is about to begin.
I'll escort you to the mess hall. If you'll give me your hand, (Captain).

Happy holidays, (Captain). I'm glad to see you bustling about with preparations and enjoying the festivities.
As for your letter to Santa Claus, I hope it arrives safely.
Oh, you didn't write one? A shame, really. It's the perfect chance for children to indulge in their selfish wishes.
Heh... Haha! Seeing your cheefs puffed out like that hardly convinces me you aren't a small child.
Yes, yes, I know. It was merely a joke, (Captain). An experienced skyfarer like yourself could hardly be considered a small child.
So please, allow me, not Santa Claus, to show you my appreciation.
What would you like as a present? Shall we tour around town before the stores close up for the night?

So please, allow me, not Santa Claus, to show you my appreciation.
What would you like as a present? Shall we tour around town before the stores close up for the night?

Happy holidays!
My homeland of Irestill also gets rather lively around this time of year.
However, I haven't celebrated with friends like this since my father, the king, was in good health.
But very well. If we must celebrate, we should do it right. I don't do things halfway after all.

When my father was still alive, on a snowy night just like tonight, I walked the streets of the town with Heles and Naoise.
The holiday lights provided ample warmth on that frigid eve.
That alone made it a night I would never be able to forget...

It's quite lively aboard the Grandcypher today. That can only mean that the winter holiday has finally come.
Even so you shouldn't get too worked up tonight. You wouldn't want to doze off too early.
Heh... The children wait for Santa Claus with unbridled anticipation.
Me? Oh, I can't seem to remember how old I was when I outgrew it...

It appears many islands use fir trees to celebrate the occasion. I find it surprising.
Because we only ever used evergreen trees in Alster.
Why, you ask? We have many theories about it on the island, but...
When we prepare for winter during the autumn, we stockpile a great reserve of arrows. And to make these arrows, we use evergreen wood.
My ancestors always believed those trees to be responsible for our ability to survive the harsh winters.
Which is why we decorated the evergreen trees to show our thanks. Intriguing, don't you think?
But enough talk. Our holiday feast of the year is about to begin.
I'll escort you to the mess hall. If you'll give me your hand, (Captain).

Happy holidays, (Captain). I'm glad to see you bustling about with preparations and enjoying the festivities.
As for your letter to Santa Claus, I hope it arrives safely.
Oh, you didn't write one? A shame, really. It's the perfect chance for children to indulge in their selfish wishes.
Heh... Haha! Seeing your cheeks puffed out like that hardly convinces me you aren't a small child.
Yes, yes, I know. It was merely a joke, (Captain). An experienced skyfarer like yourself could hardly be considered a small child.
So please, allow me, not Santa Claus, to show you my appreciation.

Happy holidays, (Captain).
Haha. Can't wait, you say?
Well, don't think about sneaking a bite. I've put my very soul into this spread.
Savor the festive flavor of the Lumiel Gourmand!
Haha. I'm always watching, so remember what I said about snacking...
Is what I would normally suggest, but I can overlook one missing piece. Haha.

It's that time of the year again, isn't it, (Captain)?
What's that smile on your face? Oh dear, you've caught me at a funny time.
You know, some children have mistaken me for Santa Claus and asked for presents.
I wasn't able to give them everything they wanted, but I did get a chance to present them with my cake.
They were so happy... Heh heh... Just thinking about them brings a smile to my face as well.
(Captain), would you like a piece?
Seeing you smile is all the present I need to be content this year.

Why, (Captain). Happy holidays.
Looks like we're in for a chilly night. Take care to cover up your stomach when you turn in.
Hohoho. Am I treating you too much like a child?
Ah, but to me, you are still very young.
And worrying needlessly over young folk like you is one of the small joys left in life to an old bloke like me.
Thank you kindly for bearing with my little jest. I hope you have a capital evening.

Hmm...
Ah, (Captain).
Yes, it seems a present was delivered to me, but I'm thinking it might have been meant for someone else.
Oho? This is a present from you? For me? Is that so...
Receiving a present like this on the holy night had been but a distant memory for me.
Ha ha. Thanks to you, I feel like I've returned to my younger days. You have my gratitude.
In return, I shall prepare something for you to drink. A hot drink should be good for a cold night such as this.

This is for you, (Captain), with my regards. An invitation to an exclusive winter night dinner.
The present you gave me last year was a surprise and a delight, but I must admit it's in my blood to give rather than receive.
Nothing makes me happier than knowing I've brought someone joy.
When I think dinner, I think back to our first winter holiday.
Haha, do you remember how I looked the other way so that you could sneak a bite?
You poked and prodded until I had to give in. Ah, those were the days.
Please grant this old gent another round of your brilliant smile.
Now then, allow me to show you to your table. This way please.

Oh, are the holidays here already? I never really used to celebrate them so I forget when they are.
Most people are gathering around friends and family right about now, aren't they?
Haha. But we don't have to do that, right (Captain)? Huh? You want to do that?
All right, then, all right. Let's spend the holidays together!

Hmm? Oh, (Captain)! The guys in the kitchen just asked me to grab some ingredients from the pantry.
Haha. Have you seen the kitchen? There's so much majestic food in there, it'll barely all fit on the table!
And they look like they aren't even done cooking yet. Skies be darned...
Anyway, they look like they're having a great time, so it's all good in my eyes!
At times like this, it's fun to get yourself wrapped up in all the energy.
... Oh, sorry. I was just thinking about my sister. But this is no time for distractions!

Today's a special day, isn't it? All of the crew members seem filled with joy.
Bringing all of these people with different backgrounds together—(Captain), you have the character of a saint.
Ah-hah-hah! You don't have to be so modest! Celebrate your good points.
But you're already doing enough for everyone. Take care not to overburden yourself. Let us eat at tonight's feast like we've never eaten before!

It's getting chilly. Makes sense with the snowfall.
I know, (Captain). Beautiful, isn't it?
(When I was alone, I could almost feel the snow piercing against my skin...)
(But thankfully things are different now.)
...
Oh, don't mind me. Everyone's waiting, (Captain). Let's go for dinner.

(Captain), I'll be stepping out for a bit.
What's inside the bag, you ask? Nothing but holiday presents.
You remember the children we met on our last assignment?
They were really down in the dumps during that whole mess.
But now's the perfect time to brighten their days with some holiday cheer.
You want to tag along?
Sure, but... Aren't you really busy, (Captain)?
Sure, if you say so. The more, the merrier—especially for the children!

Is everything okay, (Captain)? You look restless.
Ahh, the holiday season is it... You can be so childish at times, which I find to be a wonderful thing.
Being able to enjoy the little things in life is a sign of good mental health.
Which directly affects your physical health, so I hope you never change, (Captain).

Hey there, (Captain). Looks like you're having fun.
Is it because of the festive season? I understand the feeling.
But don't have too much fun. It's cold outside, after all...
If you catch a cold, I'll have to whip you up some extra special, extra strong medicine.
And if you think regular medicine is bitter...

Whew... It sure is peaceful on this ship.
I can hear cheerful holiday greetings and laughter rejoicing from every direction.
...
By the way, (Captain), was there something you wanted to ask me?
Oh, don't mind me. You should go enjoy yourself with everyone else.
As the resident healer, it's better for me to keep watch and be ready to tend to anyone who might need it.
Haha. With that in mind, I certainly hope you don't end up being carried back to me later, (Captain).
Anyway, happy holidays. Enjoy yourself.

(Captain), I have a present for you.
Or so I say, but it's simply a remedy for stomach pain.
There is certain to be quite a banquet today. With cakes and turkeys...
And it would certainly spoil the fun if you were to overeat and feel unwell.
Still, if anything happens, I will nurse you back to health. So, please, have your fill of tonight's festivities.

Season's greetings, (Captain).
How courteous of you to drop by my room too.
This day only comes once a year. Make it count.
Hm? I'm also invited to the party?
I say this every year, but healers like me must continue to tend to people's ills especially on days like this.
After all, someone has to be on standby should any emergencies arise...
Haha, but perhaps you're right. Letting loose every once in a while may be a good idea.
Very well. I'll come along this year.
Thank you, (Captain).

I wonder if this holiday tradition exists in the far east as well.
Because samurai are always on the alert, I fear their reflexes would compel them to cut down anyone who sneaks in from the chimney.
But if the one playing Santa is also a samurai, perhaps they could parry and avoid a fatal blow.
Thus this tradition would turn every home in the far east into a battlefield of sorts, making it a great training exercise.

I heard we were shorthanded in the galley. May I help with something?
I should cut these vegetables? Understood!
Hyaaa! Face your death, leafy greens!
There. Perfectly sliced.
Hm? I merely threw the vegetables into the air and sliced them with my sword.
I can do the same for the cake tonight. How many people will be attending the party? I'll be sure to cut the correct amount of slices.

Whew... I need some fresh air.
Hello, (Captain). Are you also taking a break from the party?
Hehe. It's enjoyable celebrating with everyone, but gazing at the snowy landscape together instills a different sense of closeness.
...
In this still moment
Far away from flurry and haste
We open our ears
To the sound of snowflakes
As they gently fall
A tanka for this holiday evening.

Have you ever seen Santa Claus before?
Oh, sorry for asking you out of the blue. Your father once told us about your holiday celebrations.
After hearing that, Mika said that she wanted to meet this Santa Claus one day.
Huh? You've met him before?
Wow... What kind of person is he? Is he just like the person from the stories?
I almost can't wrap my head around this... I'm always surprised by the things that happen on your journey.
Say, would you mind telling Mika all about your adventures with Santa Claus too?
You'll do it? Thank you. She's going to love hearing about them.

Okay, so red suit... White beard... What else is left?
Eep! You startled me, (Captain). What brings you here?
Oh, this? Do you remember telling Mika last year about your adventures with Santa?
After hearing those stories she so wanted to meet him.
That probably isn't going to be easy to arrange though, so I thought I'd surprise her by being Santa instead.
Oh, you'd like to lend me hand?
Thank you. Mika's going to be very happy.
So what else do we need? A sleigh pulled by reindeer, huh?
Haha. Wow, this is going to be fun, (Captain).

(Captain), do you have a moment? Could you help me carry this tree inside?
Yeah, I was thinking it'd make a good holiday tree for the house.
It's a nice size. Good for bringing out the holiday mood too, don't you think?
Oh... But we don't really have anything to decorate it with...
Huh? You can make ornaments?
Using origami and fruit... That sounds very doable.
Let's go home and make some together with Mika.
Hehe, it's like you've become a part of the family, helping us out for the holidays.
The more the merrier... It's a little nostalgic.

Hmm, what do I do about the ingredients...
Oh, (Captain)! I didn't notice you come in.
What am I holding? It's a book that Mika found about all sorts of holiday foods.
She begged me to make something from it, so I was flipping through it to find a recipe for tonight.
The problem is that we only have access to a limited stock of ingredients. I've been trying to figure out substitutes...
But it's hard to come up with substitutes for things you've never had before.
Hold on. (Captain), you cook holiday food with your crew every year, don't you?
Do you know any of the recipes in here? Maybe you could explain a few things...
Oh... You're willing to make something with me? Much appreciated.
Hehe, I'll be honest. I'm also curious how some of these dishes taste.

...
Good. Everybody is sound asleep.
I should take care to not wake anyone up.
Ah! Sorry, (Captain). Did I wake you up?
Oops, I need to pipe down. I don't want to wake the others.
Um... So I actually wanted to give everybody presents tonight—leave them by their beds while they're asleep.
I wanted to surprise you too, (Captain), but well...
Huh? You'll pretend you didn't see me?
Ahaha, thanks for being so nice, (Captain).
Well, in that case... We never saw each other, and this conversation never happened.
Hehe, it'll be our little secret. Feels strange, doesn't it?
Anyway, good night, (Captain). See you tomorrow.

Can you hear them too, my adherent?
The cheerful voices of the children of men are sounding throughout the land.
This eve is a beautiful one.

My adherent, why is it that you look so morose on such a beautiful night?
You're worried about whether you will receive presents this year?
Hm...
Well then, I have a present for you. To confer blessings upon my followers is another one of my duties.
May you accept it in good faith.

Glittering snowflakes fill the sky...
Against the multitude of lights hung about, the town appears to sparkle brighter than before.
A fleeting combination of mortal-made and natural beauty.
Truly a sight to behold. Wouldn't you agree, Adherent?

My adherent, I come with a gift.
A diya lit by my divine fire.
The diya's fire is inextinguishable and wards off evil.
May you spend the holy night with my blessing. A fulfilling occasion it shall be.
As bringing peace to the children of man is one of my duties, seeing them revel in holiday joy is a true delight.
As long as my flame burns bright, I will allow nothing to disturb your peace on this very special night.

My adherent, your worship of Shanti has brought me to manifest. Now, what is your heart's desire on this occasion?
You wished only to speak with me? If that is your heart's desire, then I shall be happy to oblige.
Would you rather linger with me? Tonight, the children of man are spending time together and celebrating a feast, are they not?
I do recall hearing from the red dragon and the girl in blue that there are many who wish to spend this night with you.
I see... It is not of my mind to deny you your heart's desire.
I find our exchanges to be most meaningful.
Very well then, my adherent. Please sit with me and expound on recent tales for as long as you like.

Did you ask Santa for anything, (Captain)?
Me? Nah, I don't need to beg for stuff...
If I want something, I'll just grab it with my own hands! That's my style.
Whoa, hold up. Don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to put anyone down for asking Santa...
But the second I start expecting others to shower me with gifts, I might fall into old habits and get crazy greedy again.
I'm not a little chick pampered in a gold cage anymore. You've seen me learn how to spread my wings and take flight.
But keep watching me, (Captain), because you're witnessing the rise of a legend.

Surrounded by brilliant illuminations... I go running ever forward... Wherever the light leads me...
Don't think too deeply about it, (Captain).
I'm just waxing about the passion that comes with this time of year. You don't feel it?
Hehe. Eh, it's not really something you need to vocalize.
Now, (Captain), hop on the back of my beast!
We're going to ride full throttle through this holy night!

I can feel the heat inside my body dissipating as the heavy snowfall continues.
Phew... Cool down...
All right... Now it's time for the last step—dive straight into that giant pile of snow!
Heh-heh... Catch a cold? Who, me?
Tsk, tsk, tsk... You just don't get it. The more you try to stop me, the more I'm gonna go straight forward at full throttle.
That's how I live my life. Don't you forget that, (Captain)!
Fly away!

Dinner preparations are almost complete. We are running a little off schedule for handing out presents to the children, but I expected this much.
I appreciate your assistance, (Captain). We should be able to carry out the holiday arrangements as planned.
With the war having just ended, I'd like this night to be a special one for the people...
Nothing too grand, of course, but I believe an occasion like this is also necessary.
Well then, I should be able to handle the rest of it.
I won't keep you, (Captain). Please feel free to return to the others.
I expect they are all waiting for you.
Happy holidays, (Captain). I pray that today will be a wonderful day for you.

Welcome, (Captain). I've long anticipated this day when I can finally invite you to join our country's festivities.
Please take a look. This is a special winter night traditionally celebrated in Erdeni, with a variety of stalls set up that sell food and handicrafts.
It's rather small compared to how it used to be, but I'm glad to see that our country's recovered to a point where we can hold seasonal celebrations once more.
Of course, all of this is thanks to you and your crew's support.
The winter celebration is an event where those in the Erdeni army entertain the country's people and guests of honor as an expression of our gratitude.
Since you, the very person who saved us all, are here as our guest tonight, everyone is especially excited this year.
Hehe. See? They're calling out your name left and right. Everyone's in high spirits.
To be able to serve food and show our gratitude and goodwill to our country's savior is a great honor for us.
Now, (Captain). If you could wait here in front of this stall.
I'd like to treat you to some Khuushuur, one of Erdeni's traditional stall foods. I hope it'll be to your liking.
Let the night begin!

(Captain), thank you for the invitation to your crew's winter feast.
Oh, surprised? Yes, these are presents from His Majesty himself.
He wished to send these items as compensation for not being able to attend the celebration. Though I'm sure you are quite taken aback...
His Majesty was overjoyed upon receiving your invitation to tonight's celebration.
However, it is most unfortunate that it happens to coincide with an assembly the king must attend.
He lamented the fact that he needs to prioritize work of hardly any urgency over a special celebration you so kindly invited him to.
Hehe. He threw a tantrum like a child and had the others quite perplexed, I must say.
It truly is thanks to all of you that His Majesty has become someone who is able to jest and offer gifts to others.
After all, it is because of your efforts that our country was able to return to its peaceful days from once upon a time.
And with that, I have been sent by His Majesty to enjoy the celebration to my heart's content in his place.
Thus, I shall follow His Majesty's instructions and celebrate together with you tonight. Thank you for having me, (Captain).

(Captain)...
It's time to get up, (Captain)...
Well, this won't do... I may have no choice but use the technique I learned from Zawra...
Hm? Heh. Good morning, (Captain).
You seem confused as to why I'm here.
Tonight is the holiest of nights. Both the crew and the people of Erdeni have long awaited spending this day with you.
There exists but one of you, however. Naturally, it's impossible for you to be everywhere at once.
Thus, in order for you to spend the best day possible while also fulfilling the wishes of others, I've been assigned to keep you company.
Your first order of the day will be to procure breakfast. Ah, but before that, you should get changed out of your sleepwear.
Now, if you'll allow me...
Oh? What's the matter? You look surprised.
Making sure you're properly dressed is merely another one of my duties.
Embarrassed, you say? Heh, receiving a helping hand is nothing to be embarrassed about.
Only the most noble of individuals are aided in such a manner. Think of it as an honor.
With that said, let's get to it. Strip, (Captain). Not another word out of you.

Happy holidays. Santa's on his way, but have you been good this year?
I see... You're not a kid anymore, eh?

Even I could stand to relax every once in a while, right?
This time of year always reminds me that I'm not a child anymore.
Anyway, I'm off to deliver presents now.
There's no need to worry. I'll wear the red suit instead of my usual armor.
You've been good this year, (Captain). Perhaps there'll be a present waiting for you as well.

Happy holidays! Good to hear you sounding so cheery, (Captain)!
On the way here, a group of children I'd given presents to last year ran up to me. It's clear they've got their hopes up for this year.
But giving a child a gift with their promise that they'll be good for a whole year is a flimsy bet when it comes down to it.
But their bright smiling eyes looking up at me as they asked about their presents was proof enough. They'd honestly kept their promise all year long.
Now then, I think it's time for St. Nick and his reindeer to make an appearance and drop off these gifts!
But don't fret... I was sure to get a gift for you too, (Captain)!
Everyone knows that you've been good this year, (Captain). You deserve a present!

Happy holidays, (Captain)!
You want to know what this big bag is for? I'm going to go pass out presents to the children.
Last year, I promised the kids if they were good, I'd visit. I can't let them down.
Heh heh... I like the ring of Siegfried Santa anyways.
Hm? You'll help me pass out the presents?
That'd be much appreciated.
It's not like these are heavy or anything, but some of the stuff just won't fit in my one bag.
You'll get a present too once we pass all these out.
Come on, (Captain). Let's go.

When I went to give the children their presents as usual, they gave me an invitation to a party.
On the back of it, there's even a drawing of me looking like quite the hero. I'm honored.
I'm very touched that someone like me would receive such a heartfelt invitation—I never thought that day would come.
On the invitation, it says that I'm welcome to bring a friend to the party. Would you like to come, (Captain)?

Happy holidays. Santa's on his way, but have you been good this year?
I see... You're not a kid anymore, eh?

Even I could stand to relax every once in a while, right?
This time of year always reminds me that I'm not a child anymore.
Anyway, I'm off to deliver presents now.
There's no need to worry. I'll wear the red suit instead of my usual armor.
You've been good this year, (Captain). Perhaps there'll be a present waiting for you as well.

Happy holidays! Good to hear you sounding so cheery, (Captain)!
On the way here, a group of children I'd given presents to last year ran up to me. It's clear they've got their hopes up for this year.
But giving a child a gift with their promise that they'll be good for a whole year is a flimsy bet when it comes down to it.
But their bright smiling eyes looking up at me as they asked about their presents was proof enough. They'd honestly kept their promise all year long.
Now then, I think it's time for St. Nick and his reindeer to make an appearance and drop off these gifts!
But don't fret... I was sure to get a gift for you too, (Captain)!
Everyone knows that you've been good this year, (Captain). You deserve a present!

Happy holidays, (Captain)!
You want to know what this big bag is for? I'm going to go pass out presents to the children.
Last year, I promised the kids if they were good, I'd visit. I can't let them down.
Heh heh... I like the ring of Siegfried Santa anyways.
Hm? You'll help me pass out the presents?
That'd be much appreciated.
It's not like these are heavy or anything, but some of the stuff just won't fit in my one bag.
You'll get a present too once we pass all these out.
Come on, (Captain). Let's go.

When I went to give the children their presents as usual, they gave me an invitation to a party.
On the back of it, there's even a drawing of me looking like quite the hero. I'm honored.
I'm very touched that someone like me would receive such a heartfelt invitation—I never thought that day would come.
On the invitation, it says that I'm welcome to bring a friend to the party. Would you like to come, (Captain)?
All right, then change into this costume.
It's time for St. Nick and his reindeer to give the children a nice surprise!

It seems the winter festivities have started. I was wondering what everyone was fussing about.
...
This reminds me of the time that I was late to King Josef's holy night feast, back before the Royal Knights became the Order of the Black Dragons.
I expected to be reprimanded, but King Josef did nothing of the sort.
Instead, he just noted that the people's greatest happiness is to be able to spend this night with their loved ones, and defending that happiness is a knight's true duty.
...
On that note, I think I should take my leave.

Happy holidays!
Aren't you going to put a pot of monkfish stew on the fire? That's how we Drugas always celebrate in winter.
Aye, 'tis traditional fare. You simply boil the fish and vegetables together. Now as for the monkfish...
Hmm... I can't really explain it. Why don't you come by my room later, and I'll make you my special stew!

Oh, (Captain). Take a look at this giant package those sea dogs sent me.
The letter says it's a holiday gift. It's not like them to do that. Aye, let's see what's inside...
Huh? Now isn't this a shock! It's a rare red king crab!
Hahaha! They've gotten tougher, those Drugas of mine! Aye, we can't let them beat us, (Captain)!

Argh, I'm so frustrated with myself.
Ah, fantastic timing, (Captain). Can you give me a hand with something?
So we're having the holiday feast tonight, aye? Well, I've been trying to catch this turkey all morning.
Unfortunately I don't move quite as well on land as I do at sea. But now that you're here, we'll nab it for sure!
Give me a hearty yo-ho and let's go!

Ahoy, (Captain)! I'm glad I caught you!
Tell me, is there anything you have on your wish list? Anything at all?
My fishermen sent me a good haul, so it was child's play getting my hands on goods this year. I even snagged a turkey.
I don't know... It's all too easy. I want to reel in something worthwhile...
What? There's no star to hang on top of the tree?
Haha! A star, huh? Now there's a difficult catch!
Good! If that's what you need, then I'll weigh anchor immediately!
It might not look exactly like what you have in mind, but I'll find something! Just hang in there!

Ahoy there, (Captain)! It's not often I see you running around in a panic. What's the matter?
What! There was a mix-up and now we don't have a holiday tree?
Now that's no good... All the kids are so looking forward to it.
Guess it's come to this! You can leave everything to me!
I was just thinking about getting a drink or two, but this is a much better use of my free time anyway.
Huh? Have I ever chopped a tree down before?
Haha, of course not! When would a woman of the seas get a chance to try?
Heh, there's nothing to worry about. I can take down an albacore with one strike to the head, after all!
You just wait here. I'll be right back with the biggest tree you've ever seen!
You can bet on it!

Season's greetings. I may not be as young as I once was, but whenever the holidays roll around I still get so excited.
Can I add something to the tree?

Even though snow presents a danger to snipers, I can't help but enjoy the holiday weather.
Falling in a soft patter all around, surrounding you like kind comrades in a bunker...
Hehe. Maybe I just have an overactive imagination.
I wonder if it will snow this year... If it doesn't, prepare to begin Operation Deck the Halls with Fake Snow.

This island is ready for the holiday festivities. Santa Claus must be busy too.
Speaking of Santa, that reminds me of something Cucouroux said when she was a little girl.
She'd asked Santa for a big sister and a little sister.
Then one day Camieux came along, and I ended up staying with the gunsmiths as well. Essentially her wish came true.
When Cucouroux grew a little older, she apologized to me.
She said it was because of her wish to Santa that I couldn't go back to my hometown.
That wasn't the case at all though. That's the kindness of the girl I call my precious sister.

Hello, (Captain). So I made it in time for dinner. What a relief.
Cucouroux said she would send a gift to the gunsmiths for the holidays.
So I sent a card to them and to my parents.
I never thought I would be able to speak with my mother and father again. It's almost like a dream.
When Mephorash was sealed, I had no idea whether they were safe or not...
My home was saved thanks to you, (Captain).
Thank you... (Captain)... With all my heart...

(Captain), I'm back. Yes, I was just at the gun workshop.
My parents came to visit. It was nice seeing them again. Today's a holiday—back on the island where the workshop is, I mean—so thanks for letting me take time off.
I... wouldn't go so far as to call this a gift, but I got you a simple souvenir. Here, it's black tea and an island specialty.
Hehe. The container is adorable, isn't it? That shop always changes the design of its tins to match the seasons. This is their winter design.
Back when I lodged at the gun workshop, I would always go to that shop, just for their containers.
I'd also have tea parties with Cucouroux and Camieux, and we'd use these leaves... Hehe. We always had such a good time.
Perhaps I should hold another tea party soon. I could invite Cucouroux, Camieux, and Tweyen.
And, if you have time, (Captain), I'd like for you to come as well. There'll be delicious sweets to go with the tea, I promise.

Haaappy holidaaays!
What are you waiting for? Time to start eating, (Captain)!
Let's make lots of noise! Bring out the presents!
This is gonna be the best holiday ever! Hyaaa haaa!

Snowball fiiight! (Captain), prepare yourself for a snow-thrashing!
I'm packin'! Packin' snow, that is! And when I was in the Odajumoki Gang, I never once lost a fight!
Heh heh! I'm gonna give you a totally wicked crazy snowball! It's my gift to you!

Cough, cough!

Eek! Ah, (Captain)! You're just in time!
I'm using all my brains to make a snow house! If it goes well, I'll give you a tour.
But they're super difficult to make!
No matter what kind of bomb I use, the snow just goes everywhere!
I got a little too close to the last explosion. That was a close call.
All right! Let's give it another go! Yaaah!

Hyaaahaaa! It's snow! Snow! Beautiful snow!
When I see everything covered in snow, I just wanna hop all over the place!
(Captain)! How do you want to play together this year? How do you want to spend it?
Wanna make a snowman? Go dogsledding? Or what about making shaved ice?
I'm fine with whatever! 'Cause I know that when I'm by your side, I'll be able to do anything!

Balurga: We went out looking for the best damn cake we could find! Just look at it!

We couldn't make everything ourselves, so some of these things are from elsewhere, though!
Balurga: Huh, we've still got jobs to do? Forget about that!
We know a certain naughty someone has been taking too many jobs, and hasn't had any time to rest lately.
Skull: So you'll be hanging out with us all day, and we're not taking no for an answer!
Skull & Balurga: Hyahaaa!

Both: Haaappy holidaaaays!
Skull: Finally! Had to wait a whole 'nother year for it to be the holy night again! Hyahaaa!
Balurga: Get up, (Captain)! We ain't got time to sleep!
Why? 'Cause our day's about to be packed!
Gotta rush, or else we won't have enough time to try out every island's special holiday food!
Skull: You hear that? We've only got today before it's all gone!
This is our only chance to try some of these treats...
Balurga: So no way we're missing out!
Both: Hyahaaa!
Skull: We're gonna stuff ourselves so full, we won't be able to walk!
Er, almost that full, anyway! Still need to make it to the crew's holiday party tonight.
Everyone'll be bummed if you're not there, so we'll carry you if we have to!
Balurga: You're coming, and that's that! You've got until the count of ten to get ready!

The holidays are coming up, right?
Then... Um...
N-nothing! Never mind...

H-happy holidays, (Captain). Today's, um...
I-I... Um, you know...
I-I want to be with you today! I-if that's okay with you, I mean...
I-it is? F'real?
Heh heh, it's like a dream come true...

Oh, (Captain). Um... Huh? That's strange...
It was cold a moment ago...
But then things got warmer as soon as I saw you...
Heehee. You're a mysterious person, (Captain).
Um, so... W-would you spend time with me on this winter night?

Happy holidays, (Captain).
When I'm with you, I don't feel the winter cold at all.
Actually, you make me feel all warm and happy on the inside.
B-but... You look like you're shivering a little right now.
If you're cold, you can just tell me.
And, um... Uh... I'll do my best to warm you up!
Please let me know if there's anything I can do for you!
If you're the one asking, (Captain), I'll give it my all. Teehee.

(Captain), happy holidays.
I'm so happy for the chance to celebrate the holidays with you again, (Captain).
I have a present for you. I hope you'll like it.
It's a scarf... I sewed it myself. You look like you've been feeling cold lately, so...
What do you think? Do you like it?
Ehehe, thanks... You just made my entire winter season.
Me? No, I'm not cold at all—not with you by my side...
(Captain)? Wouldn't it be nice if we could spend next year's holiday season like this next year too?

The holidays are coming up, right?
Then... Um...
N-nothing! Never mind...

H-happy holidays, (Captain). Today's, um...
I-I... Um, you know...
I-I want to be with you today! I-if that's okay with you, I mean...
I-it is? F'real?
Heh heh, it's like a dream come true...

Oh, (Captain). Um... Huh? That's strange...
It was cold a moment ago...
But then things got warmer as soon as I saw you...
Heehee. You're a mysterious person, (Captain).
Um, so... W-would you spend time with me on this winter night?

Happy holidays, (Captain).
When I'm with you, I don't feel the winter cold at all.
Actually, you make me feel all warm and happy on the inside.
B-but... You look like you're shivering a little right now.
If you're cold, you can just tell me.
And, um... Uh... I'll do my best to warm you up!
Please let me know if there's anything I can do for you!

Happy holidays!
I want to put smiles on all the kids faces! Just like Santa does!

Do you think Santa Claus will make his way here?
After all, there are kids on the airship waiting for their presents!
What? You want to know what I want?
I'm but a pilgrim on a journey. I have no desire for worldly things. However...
I still want to see everyone's happy faces more than anything else.
Ha-ha! Why, thank you for asking, (Captain)!

Happy holidays! I heard that lots of gifts were delivered to the children on the airship!
My heart fills with joy whenever I see their beaming faces! Their smiles are truly a treasure.
Santa Claus is really something! Crossing all the skies in one night and making kids smile...
I hope I can bring happiness to many others too by becoming a great priestess and spreading the teachings of Zeyen.
Now then, I must get ready for the party! I'll get to cooking and make everyone smile in my own way for today!

Happy holidays!
The holiday festivities are about to begin!
Me? It may not be my place, but I'm decking the halls.
This precious evening is one we all spend together. I simply wanted to make the children smile, if only just a bit.
My efforts may not be much, but I'd be delighted if they bring others some happiness.
I'll keep pushing on! (Captain), you can wait outside until I'm finished.
Hm? Would you like to work together?
Thank you very much! Let's make it beautiful!

Earlier, some of the crew's children came by, asking me to mend their ripped stockings. So here I am...
It's been a while since I've last darned stockings like these—the kind meant for presents and not feet, I mean. How nostalgic.
Now, I dedicate myself wholly to my faith. But once, I too was a young girl awaiting presents from Santa.
He often brought me little dolls. I never asked for anything in particular.
But that made unwrapping the gifts all the more exciting. The memory of those distant mornings is a great treasure.
It is my sincere wish that the children from earlier can taste that same joy. And that happiness begins with a well-mended stocking.
Say, (Captain), do you have any similar memories? If you can spare a moment, please tell me all about them!

Happy holidays!
Huh? You want a present? Let me tell you about this one spot that'll give you the perfect view of paradise, then.
You know, I'm not much of a Santa fan myself, but I do fancy that fluffy red outfit...

Hm? You're looking forward to seeing Santa Claus, eh? Haha! You're still but a child, I see.
At cold times like these, I want nothing more than to get a hard drink and hop in the hot springs.
Even better if there's a nice view to look at too, of course!
Sheesh. You're having that much trouble understanding my manly ideals?
Got it! Let me treat you to a holiday cake, then!

That old man Saint Nick is a pretty sweet guy. Always thinking about how to make others happy. I admire that.
Huh? I could learn a thing or two from him? You don't hold back, do ya, Cap'n?
Huh... So, uh... How about I buy you a cake! I'll even let you pick it out.
Let's get a huge one, so that way everybody on the ship'll get a slice!

I'm back.
Oh, if it isn't (Captain). Couldn't wait to see me, eh?
I just popped into town to pick up some liquor.
The holidays are all about good food. The guys in the kitchen have that part taken care of, but a good meal just isn't complete without a good drink, am I right?
Wait, you can't even drink yet, can you, (Captain)? This is all over your head.
Haha! Come now, there's no reason to pout when you have cake to look forward to! Kids like that stuff, right?
I look forward to the day when we can share a drink together.
Make sure to grow up big and healthy, all right? Hahaha!

Hey, (Captain)! I just got back!
I was out in the shopping district, and it was packed to the brim with people doing their holiday shopping!
I gotta say, I felt a little out of place since I was only there for liquor.
So here! This is for you, (Captain).
Heh. I thought it might be nice to let myself get swept up by the mood! In other words, I decided to buy a gift of my own.
Huh? What's with those wide eyes? Are you really that surprised? It's just a plain ol' assortment of snacks, you know.
But either way, I'm glad you're happy!
Heh... I think I sort of understand how Santa Claus feels now.

Spinnah

It's snowing! These crystalized shapes really are beautiful.
(Captain), do you know why the snow forms such beautiful crystallizations?
Haha. You don't know?
They say that the snow spins in the clouds as it falls.
You already know what I'm trying to say, right?
That's right. Beauty is formed within the spin.
That is to say, this holiest of nights is when spins are most perfect. That is what the snow teaches us.

Tonight's a festive night, huh? I'm glad everyone's enjoying themselves. Even the streets are all gussied up.
But there's something missing. Any guesses as to what it is, (Captain)?
That's right. Snow.
Snow goes perfect with this season, don't you think? Doesn't look like any's gonna fall this year though.
Well, luckily for us, I have a solution: everyone's favorite, the spin blade.
By spinning this baby, I can send some wind up to the sky...
The wind will scatter the bag of paper snow I attached to the hull of the airship.
Hah! Check it out! The snow is starting to cover the streets!
Hehe. You've witnessed yet another joy that spin blades can bring into our lives.
Here, take one as a present!

Oh, (Captain). What are you doing up at this hour?
Some sound woke you up? Sorry about that.
I'm getting ready to head into town. I'll be placing spin blades by the windowsills of children's bedrooms.
It is my duty as messenger of spin blades to spread word of them on this holy night.
I can already picture the surprised looks of children all over as they open their windowsills in the morning.
Especially since the ones I'll be leaving them are forged from gold bricks.
Well, I'm off now!

Hey, (Captain). Shaping up to be a festive night, isn't it?
The spin blade's also here with a blessing for everyone out celebrating.
Huh? You don't know what I mean? Look up.
Spinnah points to the top of a great evergreen, where a spin blade glistens in place of a star.
Hah. Now you see. That, my friend, is a special spin blade.
I found a bunch of those Sunlight Stone things, just left to gather dust in the storeroom.
Felt like a waste, so I ground some up and dusted the spin blade with them.
What do you think? The stuff glitters like magic! Perfect tree topper, in my opinion.
I only hope I can spread spin blades throughout the skies, so everyone can bathe in that light...
And what better star for me to wish on than the one twinkling on that tree right there? Be real nice if you also wished for the same thing.

Lights, music, and smiles everywhere. Now this is what I call the holidays.
I got a present for you, (Captain). A special gift for a special night.
It's a spin blade that flashes all the colors of the rainbow. Really gets you in that festive mood. Come on. Give it a whirl.
See? Like a little lightshow on the tips of your fingers. Not another thing like it in the skies.
Found a bunch of multi-colored crystals in the ship's storeroom. Ground them all up to make these babies.
Huh? You were saving them up for New Year's celebrations? Uhh...
Haha! I got it! That was my New Year's money, wasn't it?
Thanks, (Captain). I mighta jumped the gun a bit, but you got me just what I needed.
Bet the crystals are thanking you too. What's better than being reborn as a spin blade, right?

Happy holidays!
So, (Captain), have you decided what to ask Santa for?
Me? Well, I'd sure like to have a bit more courage, but...
I mean, there's no point if someone just gives you that kind of thing! So basically I haven't decided.
Hey, if it's okay with you, how about we spend the day thinking it over, (Captain)?

What's wrong, (Captain)? You seem deep in thought.
Oh, I know! You're wondering about what to ask Santa for!
Haha. Boy, do I know how you feel. I had a real headache last year over that.
But I've got none of those problems this year! Why, you ask? That's simple!
I just told him anything's good!

I've never met Santa Claus. Have you, (Captain)?
I was just wondering what kinda guy he is.
Every single year, he's out there giving gifts to kids all over the sky.
It must be a tough job all by himself, so I'd love to give him a hand.
Hehe, is that a great idea or what?

Hey, (Captain). You know... I'm thinking of being Santa Claus this year!
Wait a second. What do you mean I look more like a reindeer?
I'm not talking about dressing up here. I mean I want to give presents to all the kids in our crew.
But it's gonna be tough doing it by myself, so I was wondering if you could give me a hand.
Really? Thanks, (Captain)! Everyone's gonna be so happy!

Hm? What's with this note, (Captain)?
Wha! You mean you looked into all the things the children want as presents?
I guess you saw through my plan to dress up as Santa Claus this year too...
To be honest, it's not like I really wanna play the hero or anything like that...
But when I saw the smiles of the little ones last year, I just thought to myself that maybe this isn't so bad...
Seeing you so enthusiastic about spending time with the kids is really inspirational too!
What? You got it from me?
Heh, I didn't think I had that much of an influence on you... Hearing that makes me kind of happy.

Npc m 3030129000 01.jpg
Stan (Event)

Happy holidays!
Hmm, I wonder what kind of presents I should ask for...
Say, (Captain), is there anything you want for the holidays?
Me? That's a secret. What's that? Yours is a secret too? Haha, I guess I was asking for that!
Let's enjoy today together, (Captain). As secret-having buddies!

Hey, (Captain), how's this for an idea? I was thinking maybe I'd give Santa presents this year.
It must be tough, giving presents to everyone every year... I thought I'd express my gratitude, ya know?
But the thing is, what are you supposed to even give Santa anyways?
Got any ideas, (Captain)? Surely if we rack our brains together we can think of something perfect!

How beautiful the snow is...
(Captain), did you come here to see it fall too?
You came to make a snowman? Haha. I haven't made one in some time.
All right, I'll do the same.
Let's see who can make the bigger one.
And what if we wager something?
For example, whoever loses has to do whatever the winner says all day?

Hey, look, (Captain). The snow's really piling up.
Which means... It's time for a rematch. Oh, I still haven't forgotten about last year.
Hmm... Yeah, let's not build snowmen this time. What do you say to having a snowball fight?
The rules are the same as last time. Whoever loses has to do whatever the winner says. All right?
Heh-heh. I can feel it. This year's the year I win!

A sky full of stars... A sea of sparkling illuminations, and the first snowfall of the year...
Such a romantic situation... That leaves us with only one thing to do, right?
Heheh, I wouldn't have expected any less from you, (Captain). So you're all ready, huh?
The rules will be the same as usual. But watch out—I'm not the Stan from last year anymore!
I've been training hard through all the snowball fights I've had with the children in town.
Whew... Okay, then let's get this started. Prepare yourself, (Captain)!

Stan and Aliza

Stan: Aliza! (Captain)! I'm done with the decorations!
Aliza: I'm done over here as well!
Feels like it's been a while since we last put up decorations like this together, doesn't it?
Stan: Yeah, we stopped doing this kinda thing after I started serving as an attendant.
I remember the time you wanted to top the tree with a star, Aliza. I gave you a piggyback so you could reach it...
But the tree ended up toppling over from having too much stuff on it and you cried a ton, didn't you? Haha!
Aliza: Hey! You're one to talk—you were bawling your eyes out yourself, you know!
Stan: Wha! I was not!
Aliza: Yes, you were!
Stan: No, I wasn't!
You know, this kinda thing brings me back to when we were kids.
Aliza: Yeah. And here I was thinking we're all grown up... We haven't changed a bit!

Stan: Look, (Captain)! Aliza baked a cake for us!
Aliza: You mean we baked a cake...
Stan: Well, I did help a little... Why do you sound so down about it?
Aliza: I wanted to make it myself and surprise you both.
But I couldn't do it on my own... It's frustrating to have to rely on someone else.
Stan: So that's how you saw it... I'm sorry I didn't notice.
It was fun working together with you though. Plus I appreciated watching you put in the effort.
Don't be so hard on yourself... That wasn't very comforting, was it?
I wish I knew what to say...
Aliza: Appreciate it, Stan. I thought I was letting you down the whole time, but I'm glad you didn't feel that way.
Next time, I'm gonna make something amazing and blow you away!
Stan: All right! Guess we're in for a treat, (Captain)!

Stan: (Captain), come here! Look at the fruit jellies Aliza made! Don't they look great?
Aliza: Hehe, pretty, right? Redemption for last year's mess!
It was kind of simple to make though. All I had to do was add sugar water to the jelly powder, then put fruit inside.
Stan: It still took time and effort. Besides, you didn't burn the sugar water when heating it up, and you put a balanced amount of fruit inside each jelly.
(Captain), you should try some! The sweetness levels are just right! This one's great, but so's this one and this one!
Aliza: S-Stan, calm down! (Captain)'s only got two hands and one mouth!
And... you're gonna make me blush if you compliment me that much...
Stan: Oh... S-sorry, I didn't mean to go overboard.
Aliza: It's okay, I'm happy to see you're happy. There's plenty for everyone, so you should eat up too!
Stan: Hehe... Aaah!

Stan: Wow, there's snow everywhere! This is amazing!
It never snows on Valtz, so this'll be my first time trying to make a snowman. Is this how you do it? Take a bit of snow, ball it up, roll it around...
Gah!
Aliza: A free hit for me! You've gotta keep your guard up at all times, Stan!
Stan: Blegh! Oh, you're gonna regret that!
Aliza: Come on, the snow cushioned your fall, right? No harm, no foul! Anyway, (Captain), about shopping for tonight's party—
Cold! Stan, was that a snowball?
Stan: Heheh, that's what you get! Have another!
Aliza: Oh, now you're asking for it!
This means war! I'll prove I'm the better fighter and snowball thrower!
Stan: Bring it! Sorry, (Captain), looks like shopping will have to wait!

Aliza & Stan: Happy holidays!
Stan: Oh, us? We're headed into town since Aliza said she wants to go.
Aliza: I just love drinking in the festive air. It's the only time of year we get all the ornaments and lights.
Be a shame to miss out when it's finally here!
Stan: I said I'd go if she did, so here we are.
Choose: So you're going on a holiday date.
Wh-what? I... that's...
Aliza: I-I didn't mean for it to be.
But I guess if it's just us hanging out, then...
That would make this a date, wouldn't it?
Stan: When you point it out like that...
Aliza: ...
Stan: Ah! We should get going!
The earlier we leave, the more time I'll get to spend with you...
Aliza: O-oh... Okay!

Humph. Everyone's all excited and happy about the holidays.
Drang got especially carried away. I'll teach him to know better...
Anyway, here you go. What? What's with the face?
It's a present. It's the holidays after all. I put a lot of thought into it, so you better like it.

Hm? What's with all the fidgeting?
A present? What about it? Yeah, I have one for you this year too.
Humph, you seem surprised. Well, I know it might seem out of character, but that's just how I was raised.
My family would always make sure we got the entire family together to celebrate something.
So I can't sit still till I've gotten someone's present ready.

... What?
Humph. If you're hoping for something, you're setting yourself up for disappointment.
Wha! Don't make that face! I-I was only joking...
Look! See? Of course I have a present for you.
Sigh... Should have known never to take Drang's advice on humor.

Oh, (Captain)... How many times have I spent this night with you?
Rest assured. I have a present for you...
Huh? What is this?
A present for me?
!
Don't get all emotional on me!
But... Thank you...

All right, we're going to exchange goods. First, we'll both put our goods onto the table at the count of three.
Three, two, one... Go.
Don't touch any of the goods I put out yet. If you make any kind of suspicious movement, you're dead.
Now, at the count of three again, we'll take each other's goods at the same time.
Three, two, one... Go. Now we inspect the goods. If there are no issues with the goods, then the transaction is complete.
This is how transactions go in risky situations. But it should run smoothly if you go in this sequence—it's how I do it too.
Why am I doing this all of a sudden, you ask?
That's because you fool around with me every single time! Watch it before I jab you!

Suframare

Happy holidays! Surprise! Look at what Santa brought you!
It's the guide I wrote: Basic Magic Even a Troll Could Understand!

Happy holidays, (Captain)! Did you ask Santa for anything?
I asked for my students to feel happy when I get them to open up their textbooks!
I want to show them that, as Vyrn has demonstrated, studying can help you overcome so many obstacles!
Well then, let's have dinner and then get on with the gift exchange!
Of course I have a gift for you too, (Captain)!

Happy holidays! My holiday present is...
A copy of my personal reference: From Sword to Staff!
Haha... Now you and Vyrn will never have to brave the winter cold without a good study guide!
What is it, (Captain)? You want me to give you a lesson using this book right here, right now?
I'd be glad to! Glad to see you so eager to learn all the time, (Captain)!
But that'll have to come after the holiday party! We should treat ourselves to a good time first!

All right, everyone! It's time for this special night's class to begin!
As all of you know, magic has a wide variety of use cases.
For example, fire magic is used as the source of fuel for gearcycles...
Of course my ice magic has equally useful applications!
I can create a machine that releases snow like this! It's beautiful, isn't it?
Hm? Did I use too much energy? Uh-oh... I did this in such a hurry that now I can't stop it...
Aaahhh!

Happy holidays! Here's a present from me to you on this holy night!
As she says this, Suframare holds out a beautiful, crystal-like ornament with flecks of ice dancing inside it.
It's a snow globe in which I've trapped my ice magic. Hehe, isn't it cute?
See it, touch it, feel it. Knowledge is something you accumulate through the various experiences you encounter.
Just like the snow inside this globe—see?
Hehe. With that said, we'll learn by observing this snow globe for tonight's special lesson!

Happy holidays!
I heard a suspicious man in red was going to show up, so I patrolled the skies all night long. Yawn...

Let's see... One, two, three... Oh, is there anything wrong, (Captain)?
Huh? You're wondering what I'm doing? I'm counting the candles we're going to use for tonight's holiday banquet!
I hear that it's customary to carry a candle with you, and blow it out while you make a wish!
Huh? That's not right?
I see... So that's more of a birthday thing.
Well, I went through all the trouble of getting these candles together, so I might as well use them to decorate. I'll go talk with the crew about it!

Oh, (Captain)! My sister invited me to a holiday get-together she's having, so I will be heading out for the night!
That's right. She said she wants to teach me how to be more feminine...
My mind is ready—I'm ready to do whatever it takes!
Apparently there are plenty of opportunities to increase one's womanly charm during the holidays.
I'll spare no effort if it means getting closer to my sister... I just hope that everything goes well!
Anyway, I'll be off now! Have a wonderful evening, (Captain).

Huff... puff... huff... puff...
Oh! If it isn't (Captain)! Happy holidays!
I was just doing my daily training routine. Although I thought I'd hit it a little harder than usual...
I mean... We're throwing our party this evening...
Metera said if I burn a few extra calories beforehand, I can indulge myself at the buffet table...
So that's why I've been working out like a fiend...
Agh, this is so embarrassing...
Uh... Please promise me you'll keep this between us!

I have to hurry... But I'd hate to compromise!
Oh, (Captain)! To think we'd see each other in town like this!
What am I so flustered about? Well, you see... I'm currently looking for something for the gift exchange at tonight's dinner.
I've been looking all over for something anyone would be happy to receive...
But I have yet to find something worthy... And before I knew it, the holy night had already arrived...
Huh? You've been looking around for a present as well, (Captain)? What a coincidence!
Then if it's not too much to ask... Would you like to search for one together? That way, we can make sure we don't end up buying the same item.
Thank you, (Captain)! Your advice will certainly be of great help to me. Well then, let's go!

(Captain)... The tree is all set up. We can begin decorating at any time.
Yes, I did everything. I made sure to pick the finest tree for the occasion, and I also settled the purchase. I set it up just now, and will continue to care for it.
Granny did a similar thing long ago in our neighborhood in Feendrache.
I helped her out a lot at that time, so now I am confident in my ability to do it all on my own.
My memories with Granny at that time are rushing back to me now.
(Captain), is it okay if we decorate the tree with flowers?
Granny did it, and I would like to as well.
Choose: Of course!
(Captain) nods, and tells Sylph that many other members of the crew are looking forward to decorating the tree together with them.
Yes... Together, with everyone.
The freshly decorated tree leaves everyone who attends the feast that evening with a smile.

Happy holidays, (Captain).
Is that a holiday present? Judging from the shape, I assume it's a book...
Yes, I understand. It's a tradition to give "good children" gifts on this night, correct?
(Captain) hands the package to Sylph with a smile.
(Captain)? I am not a child. I am a primal beast who has lived for many ages—
Choose: I wanted to make you happy.
I see. In that case, I will accept it.
Sylph takes the present and stares at it in wonder.
Thank you. I'll read it tonight and let you know my thoughts right away.

Happy holidays! I can't wait for Santa to come!
I'm gonna leave some cookies out for him! Or is milk better? Maybe both?

Teehehee! Oh, (Captain)! What am I doing?
I'm making holiday greeting cards for Gramps and Altos!
Heletina and the others said Grandpa and Altos might feel kinda guilty if we got them a present, so a card would be better.
Check it out! Not bad, right?
This is me and Grandpa and Altos and Mary and you and Lyria and...
Hehe, I hope Gramps and Altos like it.

(Captain)! I'll be going out for a while, okay?
I'm gonna go send a greeting card to Gramps and Altos!
Hehe, I made one for Mary too!
Yep! I'm sure they'll like it!
I'll be right back! Don't start eating without me!

Oh, (Captain)! Happy holidays!
Huh?
Hehe, do I look like I'm having a lot of fun?
Well, I got a card from my grandpa and that boy from before. They wished me a happy winter!
Look! See? The card's all shiny. Isn't that nice?
It's not made from ordinary paper. It's special!
We're going to have special food now too, aren't we? This holiday's the best!

Phew... That was so good... Thanks for the holiday dinner...
Hey, is this really okay? Can I really just eat and eat yummy food like this, and not care about anything?
Gramps and Altos... Are also having a holiday feast over at the hospital? Oh...
Okay, it has to be true... Because you're the one telling me, (Captain).
Yawn... Ehehe. I ate so much, I'm getting kinda sleepy.
Mm... You're so warm... I'm getting even sleepier... Yawn...
Hehe. I dunno why... But I feel so happy.
Mm... Zzz... Zz...

Aah... Attiyah...
Oh, sorry. I was lost in fantasyland when I should be focusing on our holiday gathering.
Yes... I was daydreaming about sweet, sweet time spent with dear Attiyah...
I can just picture a big golden star atop a tree that reaches the skies! And the both of us cuddling on that star!
We'd feed each other cake topped with oodles of strawberries while gazing at the beautiful, snowy town.
Then we'd sing blessings to the night sky until the sun rises!
Our smiles never fading until we fall asleep in each other's arms... How romantic!
What a wonderful holy eve that'd be... Don't you think so too, (Captain)?
Aah... Attiyah...

Wow... The snow's so bright and beautiful...
Who would you want to spend your holy night with, (Captain)?
Hehe, oh yes... I'm sure spending the night with everyone in the crew is the most important to you.
As for me...
Oh! It just came to me!
My precious loved one
A miracle that descends
On the holy night
Please, dear Santa... Won't you deliver my precious Attiyah to me?

(Captain), are you going out to buy some things for the winter celebration? Might I join you?
You'll definitely be at an advantage with me, a known business connoisseur within the merchants' guild, by your side!
Hehe, thank you. Let's make this a wonderful celebration for everyone in the crew!
Oh! I just came up with an excellent idea, (Captain)!
For special functions in Tahar, we usually hold a dance competition.
Why don't we try putting one together for tonight's party? Dancing would be a fantastic opportunity for everyone in the crew to bond!
Hm? Could it be that you're lacking confidence in your dancing?
Hehe, in that case, there's no need to worry! I'll take your hand and lead you step by step.
Let's turn this winter night into one that'll make even Attiyah jealous when he hears about it!

Look, (Captain). It's snowing! Hehe, such a lovely sight, wouldn't you say?
You're probably well aware of this, but it never snowed back in Tahar.
In fact, I thought it was something that only appeared in fairy tales when I was a child!
The first time I saw it in person was during a business trip with my father. I couldn't believe my eyes!
Ever since joining the crew, I've been lucky enough to see beautiful snowscapes like this every year!
Aaah, and it's all thanks to you, (Captain)! Thank you!

Hehe... Surprised, aren't you, (Captain)? This tree is huge, right?
Where'd I bring it from? That's obvious!
From the merchant guild Ahabak! I asked them to prepare their finest and largest tree for today!
But that's not all! I also ordered a ton of decorations for the tree!
Now then... With everybody's help, we'll make this the fanciest tree in all the skies!
(I pray that next year, I'll be able to celebrate the holidays with Attiyah...)
Darn it! I keep thinking about him!
Sigh... I really am nothing more than a lost sheep. Who will shepherd this lonely lover?

Hehe, oh yes... I'm sure spending the night with everyone in the crew is the most important to you.
As for me...
Oh! It just came to me!
My precious loved one
A miracle descends
On the holy night
Please, dear Santa... Won't you deliver my precious Attiyah to me?

(Captain), are you going out to buy some things for the winter celebration? Might I join you?
You'll definitely be at an advantage with me, a known business connoisseur within the merchant's guild, by your side!
Hehe, thank you. Let's make this a wonderful celebration for everyone in the crew!
Oh! I just came up with an excellent idea, (Captain)!
For special functions in Tahar, we usually hold a dance competition.
Why don't we try putting one together for tonight's party? Dancing would be a fantastic opportunity for everyone in the crew to bond!
Hm? Could it be that you're lacking confidence in your dancing?
Hehe, in that case, there's no need to worry! I'll take your hand and lead you step by step.
Let's turn this winter night into one that'll make even Attiyah jealous when he hears about it!

Look, (Captain). It's snowing! Hehe, such a lovely sight, wouldn't you say?
You're probably well aware of this, but it never snowed back in Tahar.
In fact, I thought it was something that only appeared in fairy tales when I was a child!
The first time I saw it in person was during a business trip with my father. I couldn't believe my eyes!
Ever since joining the crew, I've been lucky enough to see beautiful snowscapes like this every year!
Aaah, and it's all thanks to you, (Captain)! Thank you!

Hehe... Surprised, aren't you, (Captain)? This tree is huge, right?
Where'd I bring it from? That's obvious!
From the merchant guild Ahabak! I asked them to prepare their finest and largest tree for today!
But that's not all! I also ordered a ton of decorations for the tree!
Now then... With everybody's help, we'll make this the fanciest tree in all the skies!
(I pray that next year, I'll be able to celebrate the holidays with Attiyah...)
Darn it! I keep thinking about him!
Sigh... I really am nothing more than a lost sheep. Who will shepherd this lonely lover?

Today is a special day, do you think? It's a little hazy, but I have memories from when I was little of spending the holidays with my father.
The whole family got together.
(Captain), why don't you and I spend the day together? Suddenly, I feel a bit lonely...
You will? Really? Thank you.

(Captain), the truth is... when it comes to these kinds of festivals, I feel out of place.
I walk through the town and see all the happy people. But somehow... I feel like I'm left out.
But now... when I'm with you and the crew, I feel like I'm finally a part of the celebration.
Thank you. The time I've spent with you has truly warmed my heart, (Captain).

Looks like we're together again for the holidays this year...
The relaxing time I get to spend with friends is special to me... no matter the season.
The more I get used to this warmth I feel when I'm here with you... the harder it will be to go back to those nights I spent all alone.
Do you think... I could spend this time next year with you and the crew again?
Thank you...

There's always something about this time of year that gets me emotional... It's a strange feeling.
A calm feeling... A bright feeling.
I'm sure it's because I'm here with you and the rest of the crew, (Captain).
A stark contrast to my former life.
I love it here... but I'm scared—scared that I may find myself all alone again.
Hm? Yeah, you're right... You wouldn't abandon me or do anything like that.
Sorry for saying something weird suddenly... It's almost time for supper. Let's head over to the dining hall, (Captain).

???: ...
Sensing someone sneak into the room in the middle of the night, (Captain) springs out of bed.
Tanya: Ah... Sorry, did I wake you?
I meant to come in quietly, but I guess there's no hiding my presence from you...
I was going to put this present beside your pillow.
Since today's a special night, and you've been such a kind person...
Um... Will you accept my present?
I didn't expect you to be so overjoyed... It's almost infectious.

The holiday's here!
Heeheehee. I think you could say there's a bit of enchantment in the air. I haven't felt this peaceful in a long time.
We have cake, a tree, and everything... If you had told me I'd be able to go on such a fun journey, I wouldn't have believed you.
If you hadn't come, (Captain), I wouldn't be here right now. Once again I owe you my thanks.

...
Oh, (Captain). Look, I made a cake for everyone.
Now to add flower-shaped sugar frosting... and I'm done! You think it's pretty? Hehehe. Why, thank you.
I wanted to see if I could make it. This was my mother's favorite flower, and it represents one of my most cherished memories.
Teeheehee. I hope everyone enjoys it too.

(Captain)! I-I have to ask you something!
My brother... He...
His solemn face and white beard... I mean, it's a fake beard, but... That face just popped out in front of me!
Is he playing Santa for the kids? What's gotten into him?
I've never seen him like that before. Something must've happened without me knowing!

Hm, I wonder what sort of food I should prepare for this year's party.
It'd be kind of dull if we served the same food every year... Then again I wouldn't want to risk it with anything too bizarre either...
Ah, (Captain)!
Is there anything you'd like for today's party?
Just say the word, and I'll make it...
Aww, really now, (Captain)... You're no different from my brother!
And that's what troubles me most!
Sigh... Guess I'll just have to decide after seeing what they have at the market.
Do you think you'll be able to come along?
Teehee. Thanks, (Captain).
Let's go then.
Haha, how nice to be able to spend time alone with you on this festive night.

(Captain), good timing.
Lucius just caught this really big bird, but we can't decide on how to cook it...
Would you rather have roasted or fried bird, (Captain)?

  • Choose: I like mine roasted.
    Roasted, huh...
    I guess it's time to heat up the oven.
  • Choose: I like mine fried.
    Fried, huh... Everyone just loves that crunchy juiciness.
    All right! I suppose I should get started on that batter.

Thanks, (Captain).
This is gonna make a fantastic addition to tonight's dinner party, so be on the lookout for it!

The Lowain Bros

Happy holidays!
This season's gonna be the best ever! Be merry!

Lowain: Smarts!
All Three: w00t! w00t!
Elsam: Moolah!
All Three: w00t! w00t!
Tomoi: Generosity!
All Three: w00t! w00t!
Lowain: Well, if it ain't the captain! Season's greetings!
Elsam and Tomoi: Happy holidays!
Lowain: We were talking about the presents we want from Santa!
I could never ask for Kat though. If she really came to me all gift-wrapped, it could only mean Santa brainwashed her! And that's not what I want!
Wait up, bros! I just realized something!
Elsam and Tomoi: Tell us about it, man!
Lowain: Listen good... Santa... and Kat...
All Three: Kat dressed up as Santa?
Elsam: My mind's exploding just thinking about it!
Tomoi: Oh man, can you picture that?
Lowain: Aah! I think my heart just skipped a beat!
All Three: Tubular, dude!

Lowain: You bros got any ideas?
Elsam: It ain't ever an easy choice...
Tomoi: Might as well just stick with the usual chicken.
Lowain: Goin' traditional's always nutritional, but with our crew gettin' so big, I dunno anymore, man...
Elsam: Word up. Everyone's got different tastes.
Tomoi: We could always go eeny, meeny, miny, moe, you know.
Lowain: Ah, season's greetings, (Captain). We were sweatin' hardcore over what to serve tonight.
Tomoi: This is, like, boss-level stuff we're talkin' here.
Elsam: Well, if we're just goin' up against a few imperial imp-eciles, us three with Kat wouldn't even break a sweat.
Lowain: But when the ship hits the fan, Kat ain't against getting a helping hand from Lancey.
Elsam: Synergy's everything in battle, if you know I'm talkin' about.
Lowain: But, dude, we're still kinda screwed with this dinner menu...
How 'bout we kick up the vibes for now? Might spark a few ideas.
A one, and a two...
All Three: Wahey!
Lowain: Whoooaa! I just got, like, a major flash of inspiration, dudes!

Elsam & Tomoi: Season's greets, (Captain)!
Elsam: Whoops, that was you, Lowain? We're preppin' tonight's holiday grub.
Tomoi: We're tryna reach new heights, so it might take a while.
Lowain: Dum-de-do...
Blech!
Whew, talk about a close one... Almost infected the grub with my barf...
Ah, happy holidays, (Captain). We were tryna make eats the Baotorda way.
That Draph hunk's really got his own style down.
Elsam: He's just burstin' with Lumiel vibes.
Tomoi: We figured Lowain could be more Lumiel-like by incorporatin' humming into his routine.
Lowain: Tonight's, like, the Holy Eve after all. We figured a change of pace was in order.
Elsam: So I thought long and hard about what makes the dude's cookin' so special, and then I figured it out! The secret ingredient's gotta be his hummin'!
Tomoi: I can't get enough of how his low-frequency humming's totally in sync with the simmer of his frying pan.
Lowain: The Lumiel way ain't so much about vibes; it's more about goin' with the flow.
Like, if you put too much heart into it, the flavor ends up full of heart too.
Tomoi: Anyways, we figured humming would be a good place to start...
Lowain: La-di-da— Ngh...
Elsam: Looks like you're not cut out for that bass sound, Lowain...
Lowain: Shoot... I might have to get in some voice training before next year rolls around...

Lowain Bros: ...!
(Captain) enters the galley to find the Lowain bros gathered around a cutting board.
Elsam: Oh hey, (Captain)! Kappa holidays!
Tomoi: Sorry, fam. We got all caught up watchin' Lowain slice that salmun.
Lowain: The voice training I started wasn't really workin' out, so I ditched it and decided to try makin' some kappa-style sushi this year.
But just tryin' to cut the fish right was gnarly enough, so instead of makin' it all neat, we're doin' deconstructed sushi.
Elsam: ...
Tomoi: I dunno though, dude... Deconstructed? I just don't like the sound of it.
Elsam: Yeah... I mean, deconstructed's got con right in the name. Think we oughta change it?
Lowain: ...
Tomoi: Well, maybe it's kappa. Not everybody'd hear it that way, right?
Lowain: Mmm... Just to be safe, maybe we call it... Unlaced sushi? Unleashed? Inside out?
Hmm...
The bros furrow their brows, grappling with this thorny problem even as they continue to slice.

Happy holidays!
Hey, hey, I heard something from Vyrn!
He says there's gonna be a big party with the whole crew, today! Is that true, Captain?
Oh my gosh, it is?
Heh heh, hooray! Oh, I can't wait for tonight!

(Captain)! (Captain)! Look! Look! I found something awesome!
It's Harvest's Judgment!
Haha. You jelly? I found them on the other island.
What? What do you mean they are the same as the other ones? No they're not! Look real hard!
These are all messed up. But these ones are super round and have four edges!
Hehehe... This must be the infamous Santa's special delivery.
Come on! Today is the day miracles happen.
I hope he leaves you something good too.
If he doesn't, don't get sad though, okay? 'Cause I'll give you some Harvest's Judgment!
Haha! Happy holidays! May this year be merry for you too, (Captain)!

Hey, (Captain)! You know what I want? A sled. You know, like the one that legend rides on the most holy of nights.
I mean, if I had a sled like that, I could save princesses from all over the skies in a heartbeat!
Hmm... But how would I even get one? I don't think I even have enough money to buy a regular sled.
Oh! Here's an idea—acorns! With Harvest's Judgment, maybe I can gather enough to trade for a sled myself!
Yeah! I'll gather all the acorns... Just watch! Actually, (Captain), could you lend me a hand?

(Captain), happy holidays!
Here you go... I made you a Harvest's Judgment wreath!
I don't have any money, so this was all I could make, but...
It's filled with all my wishes for your health and safety!
Hehe, I hope you like it!

(Captain), look! Isn't it just so pretty?
The others asked me to help decorate the tree!
I'm not that good with my fingers, but...
Helping again and again really improved my skills! Guess that's what it means to gain experience, huh?
I've still got a long way to go until I'm a hero, but I feel a little closer now after challenging something I'm not good at!
I'll keep making progress, so one day you can count on me for anything!

Today is a special day, isn't it?
A fellow dueler and I are going to deliver some gifts to the orphanage.
He's a pretty tough guy, but he's actually very kind at heart.
Oh, (Captain)! If you're not busy, do you want to come along?

Uh... I'm wearing my bunny outfit again today... Like always...
This is evidently Christina's gift to me. Though for a gift, it's kinda weird...
Heh... I guess I can't exactly duel in this thing...

I... Well... Just like last year, I dressed as a bunny... Miss Christy ordered me to...
I politely declined, but she just said "It's that special night, so that calls for a bunny."
Oh, Miss Christy... This night is associated with reindeer... I wonder if she dressed me like this instead on purpose...

Happy holidays, (Captain).
Yes, I'm a bunny this year too, as per Lady Christy's orders...
I asked if I could slip into a Santa outfit to keep warm, and...
Well, she said no... Sigh...
Hm? You think I'm just itching to dress up as Santa?
No, no, that's not it! I just need something to keep the cold at bay!

Aah... It's so cooold... Look at how much snow's fallen...
Yes, it's just as it appears. Lady Christy told me to wear this.
At least this year she had a convincing reason. She said, "You want to be seasonally elegant, right? Then be a snow bunny."
A-anyway, there's still a little time before the holiday party tonight, right, (Captain)?
Would you want to build a snow rabbit with me?
If we build it in front of the party hall, it could be a nice welcome for everyone as they enter.
Hehe. Actually why don't we make a lot of cute little bunnies?

Oh, (Captain)! If you're not busy, do you want to come along?

Hrah! Arh! Hraah! Uraah!
What am I doing? I'm warming up for today's duel! Haha!
One of my friends suggested I donate my earnings to an orphanage. So I'm really gonna work up the crowd and rake it in for the kids!
Hey, (Captain)! Why don't we do a warm-up match right now?

Hey, (Captain)! It's finally the night for the last battle!
Huh? You don't remember? The duel! It's a special holiday tag team battle.
Haha. You just watch. I'm gonna rip my opponents a new one!

(Captain)! Are you enjoying our special holiday duel?
I didn't expect Ladiva to prepare a festive outfit just for tonight. That was a big surprise...
Anyway, the finals are coming up next. It'll be a great match, so be sure to watch!

Happy holidays, (Captain)! And welcome to a special holy night duel!
Fille will be watching from the stands. I heard she snuck out of a Gem Domain party to make it here.
She's truly a good friend to go to such great lengths to cheer me on. I know I'll do even better than normal thanks to her support!
After the duel's over, we'll hold a banquet to celebrate both the victor and the holiday!
I bought several desserts from my favorite cake shop. Why don't we all do a taste test during the party?

I bought several desserts from my favorite cake shop. Why don't we all do a taste test during the party?

Today is a special day, isn't it?
A fellow dueler and I are going to deliver some gifts to the orphanage.
He's a pretty tough guy, but he's actually very kind at heart.
Oh, (Captain)! If you're not busy, do you want to come along?

Hrah! Arh! Hraah! Uraah!
What am I doing? I'm warming up for today's duel! Haha!
One of my friends suggested I donate my earnings to an orphanage. So I'm really gonna work up the crowd and rake it in for the kids!
Hey, (Captain)! Why don't we do a warm-up match right now?

Hey, (Captain)! It's finally the night for the last battle!
Huh? You don't remember? The duel! It's a special holiday tag team battle.
Haha. You just watch. I'm gonna rip my opponents a new one!

(Captain)! Are you enjoying our special holiday duel?
I didn't expect Ladiva to prepare a festive outfit just for tonight. That was a big surprise...
Anyway, the finals are coming up next. It'll be a great match, so be sure to watch!

Happy holidays, (Captain)! And welcome to a special holy night duel!
Fille will be watching from the stands. I heard she snuck out of a Gem Domain party to make it here.
She's truly a good friend to go to such great lengths to cheer me on. I know I'll do even better than normal thanks to her support!
After the duel's over, we'll hold a banquet to celebrate both the victor and the holiday!

Happy holidays!
It's hunting season... and I want to bag me a Santa!
Then all his loot will be mine! Huh? That's not how it works?

Didja hear, (Captain)? We're throwing stars on the walls to decorate for the holiday season!
Seeing everyone make their own stars is pretty incredible...
But never fear, (Captain)! Because I'm here!
I'm gonna get me a star... guaranteed!
And the way I'm gonna do it is by dragging one out of the sky myself! Hold on a sec, okay?

Hey, hey! This year I'm going to be helping out with the dinner!
Cause, you know... You guys always do so much for me.
Now then... I'm going to go hunt for a huge dragon!
What do you mean why? Siero said we need meat and cake for our dinner!
Oh! You want something even bigger than a dragon to eat?
Leave it to me! I'll make sure to find something really good!

Say, (Captain), don't you think Santa's amazing?
I mean, he flies his reindeer across the skies, knows who's naughty and nice, and delivers all of his presents in just one night!
I wonder what kind of guy he is? I've gotta meet him and see for myself!
That does it! I'm gonna stay out all night and keep my eyes open for him!
(Captain) solemnly explains to Threo that Santa has powers that can keep him invisible to the naked eye.
Oh... So that's how it is. I guess I won't be able to find him then...
You think maybe Santa's some kind of mighty sorcerer of sorts or something?
I know! I should just ask Fif what to do about him then!

Hey, (Captain), have you ever met that old Santa dude?
I'm sooo jealous. I heard from Fif that he's an amazing magician!
I can meet him if I'm a good girl? Okay, but...
How exactly do you qualify to be a "good girl"?
Hmm... Don't be picky about my food and go to bed early?
That means I've been a really good girl! If it's meat I'll eat anything, and I go to bed right when I get sleepy!
Santa's definitely gonna come see me this year, right? I'm so excited!

Tiamat

(Captain) and Tiamat watch snowflakes spin on the midnight wind.
Tiamat: ...!
Her expression reveals little, thoughts locked with a key. But those rosy red cheeks tell the whole story.
"Isn't it beautiful?"
Tiamat: ...
Tiamat smiles as if in accord.
The gift of this treasured smile, thinks (Captain), is more precious than anything rupies could ever afford.

Tiamat: ...!
One early morning (Captain) comes up on deck at Tiamat's urging.
Tiamat: ...!
Amid the biting cold, crystalline snowflakes glimmer across the vast blues skies, tinging the world in a hue of white.
Tiamat: ...
A smile plays on Tiamat's lips, her eyes focused on (Captain) while the captain is enraptured by the beautiful spectacle before them.
Recalling the joy they had shared the night before, (Captain)'s countenance loosens upon realizing the meaning of Tiamat's actions.
Choose: "Thank you for an unforgettable holiday gift."
Tiamat: ...
With a pleasant nod, Tiamat dissipates into the diamond dust of the atmosphere, leaving behind a faint gust of wind.

(Captain) has been looking forward to all the pretty illuminations adorning the island during the holiday season.
However, the snowy weather makes it hard to see much of anything.
Tiamat: ...
Feeling sorry for (Captain), Tiamat sends a powerful gust of wind in the direction that the captain is facing.
The view clears up almost instantaneously, giving way to a beautiful moonlit night.
Tiamat: ...
"Thank you!"
The two walk side by side, taking in the gorgeous view of all the sparkly lights before them.

A warm breeze blows over the Grandcypher on what would typically be a chilly day.
The culprit is a familiar primal beast enjoying the blue sky above the ship.
Tiamat: ...!
Spotting (Captain), Tiamat floats down to the deck and gives a cheerful smile.
Tiamat: ...
She reveals a small box and holds it out to the captain.
Tiamat: ...!
It is the first time she has participated in the mortal tradition of giving a holiday present.
Understanding this, (Captain) gratefully offers a heartfelt word of thanks and accepts the precious gift.

The weather grows cold this holy night as snow falls from the sky.
(Captain) prepares to set out in place of an injured Santa Claus to deliver presents.
Tiamat: ...
A warm breeze brushes past as Tiamat appears before the captain.
Tiamat: ...!
The wind primal holds a confident hand out.
Tiamat: ...
As (Captain) takes her hand, another breeze carrying spring's warmth swirls around them.
Tiamat: ...
Tiamat smiles wryly, as if to imply how silly it would be if Santa's replacement caught a cold.
(Captain) gives Tiamat a grateful nod, thankful for the wind primal's blessing, before setting off into the night sky.

Happy holidays. I always used to feel a little sad whenever I saw the town so nicely decorated.
But I don't feel that way anymore. Now that you're here with me...

I'm so happy I have the chance to spend the holidays with you and the crew, (Captain). Everyone here is so nice.
It used to pain me when I saw the town decked out for the holidays.
Why couldn't we be inside that glittering wonderland, I thought.
But now me, Feower, and the children of Stardust Town are in that shining place.
How wonderful... There's not much else that needs to be said.
It's so wonderful I... I wonder how long it can last sometimes...

Happy holidays, (Captain). To bring in the holiday season, the roads of Stardust Town are aglow with lights and festoons.
I do love seeing the kids enjoying them...
Long ago, the lights and illuminations made Stardust Town feel like a whole different world to me.
But now we're the ones putting up the lights.
It's strange how things can change like that, but... It's not a bad feeling. I kind of like it.

Mm... Yes, these presents are for the children of Stardust Town.
Haha... You must be surprised with how many there are.
When I was a child, the thought of receiving a present never even occurred to me.
But things are different now. I'm able to handpick presents for every one of my little brothers and sisters.
It makes me so happy.
Just picturing their smiles brings me joy.
But actually seeing their smiles is pure bliss beyond words.
The way I see it, I'm just giving them more time to be children while they still can.

I'm back, (Captain). Yes, Sierokarte asked me to drop by the Knickknack Shack, so I went to see her.
And... that's where I received this large bag of decorations as a present.
The bag's filled with ribbons and other ornaments for the holy night.
Sierokarte said she was giving them to me since she seemed to have overstocked... But that's probably a lie.
It's really nice of her.
My brothers and sisters will be so happy. I'm going to go out to Stardust Town and start handing everything out.
You'll come with me? Are you sure you're not busy?
Mm... Okay, then let's go together. My siblings will be glad to see you.
Of course, I'm happy that I can spend this night with you too.

Tikoh

???: Next patient, please.
Tikoh: How are you feeling today?
Ah... (Captain), it's you.
Okay, let's have a look-see.
Your body temperature's high, your heart's beating fast, and you seem unsure yet excited...
I see now... My diagnosis tells me that you're in a merry mood for the holidays.
You would do well to calm down and breathe in the fresh outdoor air. Monitor yourself as you go about the day.
I'll come along. Just keep in mind that this isn't just fun and games—it's part of your treatment.
I'll meet up with you on the deck later. Tonight will be the prime time to analyze your symptoms.

House call incoming: merry holiday edition!
Heehee, Captain's out like a light. Better make this quick.
Hm... Pulse: normal. Temperature: normal. Blood pressure: normal.
(Captain) suddenly stirs and squints groggily at the intruder.
Oops. Did I wake you? I'm sorry.
For your present, I came to do a stealth checkup and hopefully leave you with a clean bill of health you could read in the morning.
But now that you're up, I might as well perform a more thorough examination.
Remove your top please. I need to listen to your heartbeat.
Come on, off, off.

Next person, please.
Oh, (Captain)... Sigh. I thought you'd come.
Here you are. I prepared everything in advance and prescribed you a gift for this winter season.
I didn't think you'd come looking this desperate for something...
Did you want a present from your doctor that badly? I don't believe it...
Well, you're lucky that Dr. Tikoh is so kindhearted.
Huh?
You haven't been feeling well since this morning?
Y-you should have told me that right away! I thought you were just here to get a present from me...
All right, loosen up your clothes. Time to break out the stethoscope and take a listen!

Happy holidays. Thank you for inviting me to the celebration this evening.
Parties are rather incredible, aren't they? The entire room's sparkling, and there are so many people...
Oh! Don't mind me. I'm perfectly content being a wallflower.
Besides, the food is so delicious, I've been focused on eating anyway!
Actually... I suppose there's no use hiding it from you.
I'd certainly like to relax and enjoy myself, but it's difficult striking up a conversation when I know I'll forget everything tomorrow...
What? A present for me? Is this... a Santa hat?
I see. By wearing this, I'll be able to remember tonight even after morning comes around.
Thank you, (Captain). I'll make sure to enjoy myself to the fullest so I'll have plenty of wonderful memories to look back on!

Happy holidays, (Captain)!
Are you enjoying the party? I certainly am!
Because... look! I have the Santa hat you gave me last year.
It was lying next to my notebook when I awoke this morning. I must have been eagerly looking forward to this since yesterday.
Now, hurry or all your favorite dishes will disappear! What would you prefer to eat first?
There are so many choices, I actually haven't been able to decide myself...
I'd like to try whatever you're having. So let's go fill our plates together!

Nom, nom...
Oh, (Captain)! Happy holidays!
These dishes are so good! It seems I was really excited about the food last year and the year before that too.
Why do I remember this, you ask? I saw the memories from the Santa hat you gave me two years ago.
I'm sure the memories will accumulate in the Santa hat as the years go by, just like snow on a winter day.
I hope by the time I become a grandpa, there'll be so many memories in it that it'll take me more than one night to go through all of them.
That's why I should always make the most out of the present!
(Captain), why don't you try some of this roast meat? I'll get you some grilled vegetables too!

Tsubasa

Yo, (Captain), you ever been jealous of the old man in red?
Not sayin' I wanna be him. But, damn, that sled of his!
If my beast could fly like that, I never would've had to ride on the airship.
Nah, I guess that's in the past though.
I don't have any regrets now, only thanks.
(Captain), meeting all of you was the best present ever. That's how I look at it now.

Yo, (Captain). You stay out here any longer, and you might catch a cold.
Me? I'm just checkin' out the snow. Doesn't look like it'll be stopping anytime soon.
Sucks that I won't get to ride on my beast till it all dries up.
Hm? You challenging me to a snowball fight?
You sound pretty confident. Yeah, count me in. Just so you know though...
I never lost a single snowball fight as a kid... My homies used to call me...
The Raging Snowball!
Dude! Quit laughing about it!

What's up, (Captain)? I'm about to head out for a ride. You wanna come with?
Ah... Yeah, it'll be pretty cold with the wind whipping by.
But you won't even notice when you're going past all the holiday lights down the road.
I'm telling you, it's real special. Makes you feel something inside...
Hey! Who're you calling a romantic!
Tch, listen to me... You'll change your mind when you see it with your own two eyes!
Get on! You're about to get a taste of what I feel!

Tsubasa: Taigaaa! You think chickenin' out like this is gonna get ya anywhere? It's time you got your act together!
Killa Taiga: B-b-but...
Yung Rintaro: Oh, (Captain)! Little help here? Someone's gotta stop Tsubasa before things get real bad!
Tsubasa: Wha?
Sigh... If you say so, (Captain).
Fine, you're off the hook this time, Taiga.
Yung Rintaro: Actually, we were zippin' through the streets when we happened to see the girl Taiga likes linkin' arms with another dude...
Killa Taiga: Hnnngh... Goin' on a date on a romantic winter night like this means they're already together, right? I didn't even get a chance, (Captain)!
Choose: Come on, let's cheer our buddy up.
Tsubasa: You're way too soft, (Captain)...
Yo, Taiga. It's freezin' outside tonight but we're doin' a rally—a special one. The night breeze'll blow those tears away in no time.

Sup, Captain. It ain't every day you call me out to a place like this—there something you wanna keep on the DL?
Wait, before you say anything—you're not here to ask me about romance, are ya? Just between you and me, (Captain), I'm terrible at that stuff.
No way... For real?
Man, that red guy's got a single job... Can't believe he'd pull his back on the eve of the big event.
So what you're sayin' is, you're gonna be takin' the role instead? And you want me to help?
Heh, say no more, Cap! You know I've got your back.
Besides, there ain't nobody else in the crew who could ride a sled like that but me, right?

Npc m 3040031000 01.jpg
Tweyen

(Captain), care to exchange presents with the rest of the crew?
You do? Let's go!

Plenty of people throw big holiday parties, but there are also those who wish to spend the night in peace and quiet.
I joined in the revelry tonight, but next year I'd like to try spending the night in tranquility.
You know, like you, Lyria, and I sharing stories by candlelight.
It's too early to decide? I guess I'm just looking forward to next year.

Spending this festive night in a cozy room... It feels wonderful.
Hey, (Captain)... Do you prefer large parties or spending a quiet afternoon with a couple of special friends?
Me? Haha, I just can't pick. Both are pretty important to me.
Oh yeah, I got presents for everyone. Let's exchange them later, okay?

I hope you remembered to bring a present, (Captain). I'm collecting everyone's.
I heard we were all getting together to exchange them.
Everyone forms a circle and then passes the presents along from hand to hand until the music stops... Just thinking about it makes my heart skip a beat.
Of course, a present specially selected for a particular person is a wonderful thing...
But I think being able to share the excitement in a big group like this will be a lot of fun.
The kind of fun you can only have if you spend the holidays surrounded by friends...
Which means any present you receive will be the best present ever.

Happy holidays, (Captain)! Hehe, this year's holiday season sure is lively.
I gave presents to Silva, Cucouroux, and Camieux.
The three of them are probably back at the workshop right about now. Spending the holidays with just family sounds nice too.
It's not like I'm lonely or anything, you know? Even if we're far apart, our thoughts are connected...
Besides, I have you and the others, don't I?

Ah! (Captain)! Tonight is a very special night!
I might be too old to be getting presents from Santa, but...
I just love the idea of cozying around a table with your loved ones.
No matter what your age, tonight is a night like none other!
Come on, (Captain)! Time to gather around the table!
To merry times! Hurrah!

Ahoy there!
Make merry, the holidays are here, (Captain)!
Yes, indeed... The folks in the dining quarters have assigned me the sacred task of decorating the dining halls!
It's all up to the efforts of myself and the other lovely crew members to make sure everything looks absolutely spellbinding!
How do they look—these wonderful paper decorations and knickknacks made by our very own crew? Truly a sight to marvel!
Honestly, you're sure lucky to have someone as tall as me with you! I'll get all those hard-to-reach nooks and crannies!

Hmm... Where could it be... No, not here...
Oho! Well if it isn't (Captain). Season's greetings to you!
Hm, me? Oh, I was just searching for something.
Say, there wouldn't happen to be a chimney on this airship, would there?
I just happened to overhear a conversation between some of the other crew members.
They said that Santa Claus enters the homes of children by going through the chimney!
So as you can see, I've been worried about whether or not Santa will be able to get into our airship without a chimney.
I need to find a way for Santa Claus to come in or else—everyone's joy is counting on it!
After all, Santa is a bit on the chunky side—know what I mean? Surely a plain old door would be too narrow!
So what else could we use instead...
Huh? If there isn't a way in, he simply uses magic?
I see! Of course Santa Claus would be able to do a little magic! It was all so obvious!
Well, that settles things! I must let the others know first, but it looks like I'll be able to rest easy on this silent night after all!

Season's greetings, (Captain)! I come to you with a gift of assorted treats on this fine occasion!
I will be heading out to town soon with the younger members of the crew.
They mentioned wanting to spend the holidays like an adult would, by window-shopping and taking in the beautiful views!
But for so many youngsters to be out and about in such a crowded town could be somewhat perilous, which is why I've taken up the task of keeping them safe!
Yes! We shall have a most merry time and return before dinner.
And of course, we'll be back with a most pleasant surprise consisting of bags of assorted treats for everyone!
So, (Captain), if you could please keep everything I just told you a secret for a short while...
For I, too, shall be keeping my lips tightly zipped in order for this glorious surprise to succeed! Now then, let us go!

Thread the ribbon through the hole just like that...
Oh! (Captain), happy holidays!
Why yes, I'm helping the younger crew members wrap gifts for their families!
I never imagined the skills I learned during Valentine's would come in handy like this.
But I couldn't be more pleased that I'm able to bring joy to others in this manner!
Are you about to wrap the presents you prepared for Lyria and Vyrn?
Would you allow me to assist you?
...!
Thank you very much for allowing me this honor! Please, have a seat right here, and let's get started!

Happy holidays, (Captain)!
Santa Claus is so amazing! He brings smiles to all the children of the skies!
And one day... I'm gonna be just as great as him!

Hmm... Oh, hello, (Captain)! I'm just thinking about some possible new stunts.
This time of year, all the kids are obsessed with Santa Claus, right?
I'm not sure I can top Santa's sky-wide feats.
Matching them though? That should bring plenty of smiles to plenty of people!
I'm the greatest performer in all the skies, after all!

Oh! (Captain)! Here's a holiday card for you!
Here, take it. Just take it, trust me.
Now, with a wave of my hands and a few magic words...
Tadaa! The present drawn on the card has jumped out into reality!
Hehe. Surprised? Glad to hear it!
All right, I can't stop now! Smiles and gifts for everyone!

Happy holidays, (Captain)! Time for me to make a bang!
Tonight I get the opportunity to put on a special performance for everyone! What a privilege!
I've gotta try my best to give everyone the best present of all—a smile!
Now then... (Captain), go take your seat and wait till the curtains rise!
Hm? What do you mean?
Really? You're going to watch from the stage wing?
That's okay with me, but are you sure?
So... You wanna be as close to me as you can?
Now I've got an even bigger drive! You just watch me give it my all!

I've decided to do another special holiday dinner performance!
Don't worry, though! This is completely new, one hundred percent original material!
The greatest performer in the skies would never bore his audience with a mere rehash of last year's show!
Every performance should bring new experiences, new thrills and chills to delight each viewer!
Feel free to raise those expectations to the rafters, (Captain)! I want to see you front and center, applauding loudest of all!

Ultimate Friday

To recap...
Friday suddenly took on the form of Ultimate Friday one day and handed (Captain) a pair of SHRIMP goggles.
Going forward, I'm going to be streaming various Premium Friday-related programs through the SHRIMP googles!
Friday's stream is supposed to go up today. (Captain) puts on the goggles and waits for the appointed time.
Premiuuum! Season's greetings!
Most people celebrate the holidays with fried chicken and cake.
But if you ask me, the holidays are the perfect time for some fried prawn.
I mean, just look at this! Its color and rolled-up shape couldn't be a more perfect representation of familial bliss and love!
That's why I thought I'd take this opportunity to show you how to make fried prawn—Friday-style!
First thing's first! You want to be extra gentle when peeling the shell—as if you're trying to catch a bubble without popping it.
Next is to devein, then soak in brine to eliminate the odor. Add seasoning, chop off the tail, drain, then dunk the prawn into a mixture of egg yolk and flour.
The trick is to make sure it's coated in flour all over—as if it's wearing a down jacket in the winter to keep warm!
Then dip the prawn into a pan of bubbling hot oil and perk up your ears to the euphoric sound of food being fried.
...
Now! Pretend you're an expert goldfish scooper while being careful not to burn yourself as you scoop the prawns onto a cooling rack!
There, it's done! Now it's your turn to give this a shot!
Feeling sudden pangs of hunger, (Captain) takes off the SHRIMP goggles and makes for the kitchen.
(Captain)'s understanding of fried prawn has increased by 75, while interest in fried chicken has decreased by 5.

Everyone seems quite busy this morning. Do we have an important customer coming?
We're preparing for a holiday party? Ah, of course, tonight is the holy night.
There will be an elderly gentleman dressed in red bringing children presents, won't there?
I've heard of him, but never received any presents.
Hehe, I've never been well behaved, after all.
In that case, you should get to bed quickly. You are still a child, after all.
Receiving those presents is your right as a child, isn't it? Then you'd best avail yourself of it.

Season's greetings, (Captain)!
This is the first time Gar and I have celebrated the holidays outside our hometown.
It's so much more lively and fun with all these people around!
I'm gonna go out to town to buy presents for everyone back home.
Care to join me, (Captain)?
I'd be so happy if you could show me where the best places to shop are!

Vajra: Hey, Gar. Does this look right to you?
Garjana: ...
Vajra: Okay, great! Now to just present it to—
Ah, (Captain)! Hahaha, guess you caught me, huh.
I was hoping to lay the surprise on you.
Today's that special day, right? I thought Gar and I could join in on the gift-giving this year.
Gar will be the reindeer, and I'll be Santa Claus! Neat idea, don't you think?
And I'm hoping you can keep this on the down low.
Because I really want to see everyone's expressions when I surprise them!
Of course, I'll drop by later with your present too! Hope you're looking forward to it!

Vajra: Wow! This is my first time seeing a cake this big!
Ooh, there are biscuits too! Could these be for Gar and the puppies? Thanks, (Captain)!
Hehe. Wish it was the holy night every night... That way, we'd be able to have these delicious treats all the time!
Oh, but I'm not just happy about the treats.
It's being able to celebrate the season together with you, Gar, and the puppies that makes me happy!
Eka & Dvi & Tri: Woof, woof!
Vajra: Hm? You guys want to play some more?
Hmm, okay... Then how about a snowball fight? We'll split into two teams and face off against each other!
Garjana: ...
Vajra: Haha, looks like everyone's ready to go!
Then once we finish our cake, let's head outside!

Vajra: Wow, would you look at all that snow!
I think it's enough to make us one awesome igloo!
A big one too! We can snuggle up with Gar and the pups in there!
Oh? You wanna snack on some holiday treats while we're at it?
That's a nice idea... I'm getting hungry just thinking about it.
All right, everyone, you ready to do this?
Garjana: ...
Eka, Dvi, and Tri: Woof, woof!
Vajra: That's the spirit! Let's go!

Is it just me, or do the holiday lights around town add an extra layer of fun to window shopping?
Hm? Oh, (Captain), look at the bakery over there!
They've got animal cupcakes. Ahaha, this one looks like Gar, what with the glum frown and everything!
Huh? You sure it's okay to get it? Thanks, (Captain)! You're the best!
Better be careful not to eat too much though, otherwise I won't have room for the party food later...
Hold on. (Captain), let's split it!
Good idea, right?
Let's buy it before someone else beats us to it!

Happy holidays!
I remember back when we were kids, Lancey and I would always try to catch Santa! We had a blast!

Hmm... It's that time of the season. Eh, not like I had anything planned for today anyway. Let's see what Lancey's up to...
Huh? Oh, hey, (Captain). Are you free right now? Good thing I bumped into you!
All right, you get the pleasure of spending the day with me!
Not! Yeah, like you'd want to hang out with me, hahaha!
Whoa, you serious? You're fine with hanging out? Whoa, whoa, whoa. That's... awesome!
Okay, so whaddaya wanna do? Go on, I wanna know!
You want me to bake you a cake? Are you sure? Wahaha! You've got simple tastes!
I'm gonna make the best cheesecake you've ever tasted in your life!
Let's hurry and go buy what we need! Dress warmly and meet up on the deck!

Wahaha! I've been asked to play Santa for the kids' winter party.
Heh, seeing this red suit takes me back to when I was a wee lad.
We were having a party with some other kids. Lancey and I came up with the idea to go dressed as Santas.
But my suit got messed up because I wasn't paying attention while getting ready to go. Man, I busted out crying right there.
So then Lancey gave up his suit for me to wear. He's got a heart of gold.
To be fair, I wanted him to wear it, but he was stubborn like a mule.
"You deserve to be the big man after all the work you put in" is what he said, but he was the one that was really looking forward to it...
Makes my eyes well up!
Whoops, sorry for dragging down the mood. Better get changed.
If you're free, why don't you come to the party too?

The kids just got a bunch of presents!
Their eyes were so big as they showed me all the things they got.
Just looking at all their happy faces was enough to make even me jump for joy! Ahaha!
Just think, when I was a kid, I used to get presents from Santa too. Those were the days...
Huh? What exactly did Santa give me?
Let's see... The thing I loved best was the action figure that both me and Lancey had!
"Now's our chance! Follow the captain!" Come to think of it, nothing's changed all that much.
(Captain), what kind of presents did you get this year?
Come on! Show me!

Happy holidays!
The cake's just about ready—see, it's getting all nice and fluffy.
This reminds me of the time I baked a cake on a holy night like this, back when I was a kid. The cake just stayed flat in the oven the whole time...
I was sad my grandma wouldn't be receiving any presents from Santa so I'd baked the cake for her, but it didn't work out the way I'd wanted it to and I ended up crying.
But Grandma took that dry, crumbling cake and ate the whole thing, saying it was really good!
She's the sweetest, bestest grandma in all of the skies!
Whoops! Looks like the cake's done baking.
Heheh, looks good, huh? Look forward to having it at the party!

Hey, hey! Have you been into town yet? There are lights everywhere! It looks amazing!
Everyone's laughing their heads off and having a blast!
Are you having fun spending time with me, (Captain)?
Since you're my bloodkin, I order you to have a good time!

Brrr... It's so cold... Bloodkin...
Don't just stand there! Make it warm already! I want to be warm!
You have to do my bidding, remember?
If you don't, I'm going to chomp, chomp, chomp on you! Hurry, hurry!

Oh, Bloodkin! Come here for a second!
You're so slow! Okay, now hold me up!
I can't reach the top of the tree on my own.
Stop wasting time and pick me up already! The holiday's not complete without the star!

Happy holidays, Bloodkin!
You think we can hold a party at Medvecia this year?
I want all the vampires there to know how much fun we have with these events out here!
And of course, I want them to get to know my favorite bloodkin of all—you!
C'mon! Let's get going, (Captain)!

Bloodkin! Happy holidays!
Ehehe. I've got a present for you!
Hey, hey! Guess what's inside! And the answer is...
Ta-daa! Clothes! I picked them out for you!
Go change, go change! We're gonna head out in a bit, okay!
And I'm gonna show everyone how wonderful you look!

Happy holidays.
Carolla and I used to bake holiday cookies this time of year...
I think I'll make a batch today! You're gonna have some, right?

This season is bittersweet for me.
Listen, (Captain), let me have a day off today.
I made cookies... for Carolla.
So I'm thinking of taking some to her... What's that? You want to come along? Heh...
I don't mind. Thank you, (Captain).

You want to bake a cake with me? I don't mind lending you a hand...
I see... It's a cake for Carolla. Thanks, (Captain). You really have a big heart.
And not just you... Everyone in our crew is too nice for their own good... You think I am too, eh?
Heh-heh! I dunno about that... I can get pretty stern when I'm baking a cake, you know!
How about we get started then? Let's whip up a shortcake with strawberries on top!

Truth is I'd never given Carolla a holiday gift...
I once asked if she wanted anything, but she always seemed more than content with my presence alone.
Acorazada would always tell me to give her something anyway...
I'd be all wishy-washy about it and end up doing nothing.
But after spending the holidays with you over so many years, I've come to realize how important gifts can be.
When she awakens, I plan on giving her a whole plethora of gifts to make up for every year I never got the chance to.
I hope you will help me pick out a few, (Captain).

Thank you for helping me choose another gift for Carolla.
I feel like you make much better selections than I do.
I'm sure Carolla will be surprised when she wakes up.
She's sure to wonder how in the skies I picked so well.
By the time I get her back, hopefully your good taste will have rubbed off on me, (Captain).

But after spending the holidays with you over so many years, I've come to realize how important gifts can be.
When she awakens, I plan on giving her a whole plethora of gifts to make up for every year I never got the chance to.
I hope you will help me pick out a few, (Captain).

Thank you for helping me choose another gift for Carolla.
I feel like you make much better selections than I do.
I'm sure Carolla will be surprised when she wakes up.
She's sure to wonder how in the skies I picked so well.
By the time I get her back, hopefully your good taste will have rubbed off on me, (Captain).

My old crew used to celebrate the holidays too.
This? It's the wine we'll be having at the holiday feast.
It's Erune-made so it's very good stuff. Will you be having any, (Captain)? Ah, you're not of age yet...

With all these crew members, the holiday feast feels much more lively.
At times like this, don't you sense how far we've come as a crew? I know I do.
Now let's get a seat, (Captain). You don't want to miss out on a feast as grand as this!

The holidays are here... It's that time of year again...
We're all exchanging gifts this year again, aren't we? I've already got my gift ready.
It's rare to see me at a holiday party, you say? I suppose I like to show my face every now and then...
For every person that finds a place in your heart, they become just one more push to give you strength to survive. That's all there is to it.

What's wrong, (Captain)? Not enjoying the feast?
Hm? You followed me out here?
Sorry if I made you worry. Had to clear my mind.
When I served as captain of my own crew, I loved partying with the rest of 'em.
Just as you do now, (Captain).
Recalling the good old days gets me a bit sentimental.
Perhaps I've said too much.
Hm? Where are you dragging me?
What? You want me to bust a few moves with you at the party?
I suppose I could do that.
Being an antisocial bore on this day in particular would be a waste indeed.
Let us return to the party and bust a groove or two, (Captain).

The town certainly is boisterous tonight. Crowds everywhere you look. Seems like a lot of preparation goes into that holiday feast.
Don't worry, though. I'll carry your bags. That's why you brought me along, right?
What? You want my help choosing decorations for the tree?
That's more a job for Zeta, don't you think? I don't know what the tree will look like with me helping.
But this is a special night... I'll be glad to accompany you if that's what you really want.
I don't have any experience with decoration, but I can probably make myself useful when it comes to negotiating prices.

Happy holidays.
Today's a festive day, isn't it, (Captain)?
Vampires don't celebrate this day in any special way.
I must say, mortals love to give gifts, don't they? Hehe.
I'm not complaining, though. Let's have fun today, (Captain).

I hear we're having a party with the whole crew today.
I also hear mortals eat a great many things on this night.
For example, some eat chicken, or cake, or stew, and even pie.
Now that I think about it, humans have quite an evolved food culture...
Hehe... Today will probably be interesting. But...
I'm sad that not a drop of your blood will be on the menu.
Hehehe... I'm kidding. I wouldn't force you to give me your blood.
If you asked me to take some of your blood... That's a different story.

Season's greetings, (Captain).
I heard some weirdo called Santa will be handing out presents to children today.
Though I don't know why anyone would go that far for total strangers...
I don't need a gift though. Because I have you, (Captain).
Hehe. So what goodies do you have in store for me?
I have my hopes high.

(Captain)? Well, well. What are you doing at this late hour? And in such attire...
Oh, distributing presents, are you? I see... That does explain why you're dressed as Santa Claus.
And is that why you've come here? To give me a gift?
However, I wish only for one thing. You do know what it is, don't you?
You haven't an idea?
Hehehe, oh really. Then, allow me to enlighten you.
What I dearly want... is right here in front of me.
Wait right there. I shan't let you get away. Now, I do hope you've prepared yourself... (Captain).

Happy holidays, (Captain). Taking a break?
Yes, I as well. The heat of the winter feast is rather overwhelming, so I came out to take in some fresh air.
You know... Every year around this time, I'm reminded yet again of just how much the members of our crew adore you.
Really, it's no fun at all. While I realize you're everyone's captain, your claws have long been lodged deep into my heart.
Seeing your smile, hearing your words...
And feeling the touch of your skin like this... Only I should be able to do these things.
I know it's an impossible dream, and yet... I find myself wishing it were so. Why is that, I wonder?
Heh... What's the matter? You're getting quite red.
Not so fast. After seeing that look on your face, I'm afraid I can't let anyone else have you tonight.
Don't worry. I shall take full responsibility and ensure that you have a good time...
A profoundly delicious time, worthy of this holy night... Hehe.

Happy holidays.
What is it? What's with that look on your face? You're saying I look like I'm not having any fun?
I see. It might look that way, but my chest is pounding with excitement. I'm having a lot of fun. But I wonder...
If my tears fall like a blanket of snow, then would it look like I'm having fun?
Ehehehe, that was a joke. Yes, telling jokes makes everything more festive.

Damn... Don't look at me!
A festive day such as this is not suited for tears...
Your words have touched me oh so...
You have my apologies, but I must leave here at once.
From the bottom of my heart... you have my thanks.
Perhaps beyond the pure white snow and these never-ending tears, I might find spring.
Sigh... I have only one wish... That a flower from the world beyond be with you and your happiness.
I wish nothing but the best for you on this journey...
Happy holidays.

Happy holidays, (Captain).
These never-ending tears have caused me to give up celebrating the holy night. I am not fit for the occasion.
But there is something I am fit for.
The church...
There are songs that are sung there that move others to tears. This I have seen...
That my tears and I have a place where we belong fills me with a most mysterious feeling.
(Captain), would you like to join in listening to the songs? You may find tears your eyes as well.

(Captain), are you enjoying the holidays?
Why yes, I certainly am. Just a bit earlier, a few children called out to me. They saw my tears, you see, and may have fancied me lonely.
So they invited me to build a snowman.
With everyone's cooperation, we ended up making a grand one, even taller than me. There was quite a bit of excitement.
It was extremely cold out, and we were all shivering... But I felt warm, as if a light had taken up residence in my heart.
A smile truly is a wonderful thing, isn't it? (Captain), may your future be filled with smiles and with joy.

A decorated tree... It's very beautiful.
It is as if I can feel everyone's dreams and wishes from the glowing lights...
I cannot stop my tears from flowing as I bathe in this light. It reminds me so much of the kindness I've received up until now.
Haha, my apologies—I cannot stop my tears regardless. That was just a little joke.
I must admit I'm feeling rather restless tonight, more so than usual. The holy night is truly a mysterious time of year.

Happy holidays!
Huh? A present?
Of course I didn't go shopping!
Fine, you got me... Here's your gift. Go on and take it!
What? You don't know what it is?
Well, it's a block of iron! Pure iron, see! Pure iron!
Oh, boy... You can't even tell, can ya? I fired it super hot in my furnace, so it's completely purified.
It won't rust in water or corrode in acid.
Ah, just take it already! Happy holidays, and all that!

Hey, (Captain)! Happy holidays!
Heh-heh! I got you something good this year!
Here you go! Go on and open it!
Hey! It's not a lump of metal! It's an iron Santa statue!
Feel how heavy it is! And it's tough too!
Ha-ha-ha! I knew you'd get fired up over a gift of metal. Reminds me of the first gift I got from my master!

Hey there, (Captain)! Happy holidays, yeah?
Heh-heh! What kind of party are we having this year?
Nah! I'm looking forward to the spread no matter what it is!
Nope, nope... You go ahead and pick out whatever desserts and snacks you fancy.
The only thing I really want...
Oops! I better watch it. I'd be mortified if someone heard what I'm gonna say...
So... how about it? Do you think you could set aside a plate of cream puffs for me?
Heh-heh! I'm looking forward to it! Can't hardly wait!

Hey, (Captain)! Can I get a "happy holidays"?
You mean I just asked? Haha, so what!
Don't you worry; I haven't drunk a drop yet. The party's about to start picking up real soon though.
I gotta say, that moon sure is gorgeous tonight.
Wish I could make steel that shined like that and lasted just as long...
Buwahahaha! What am I saying...
Looks like I'm already intoxicated by the holiday spirit.

Ho there, (Captain)! Happy holidays!
Looks like I'm having the time of my life, you say?
Heh-heh, well actually... I've fallen hard for the holidays.
Heh-heh. Was it obvious?
That's right! I can't keep my mind off the booze! Man, they serve the best stuff at holiday parties.
Hey, I haven't had any yet. Don't go assuming things now.
You know, they say strike while the iron's hot, but in this case, I think it smarter to save the best for last.

It really is bustling today, isn't it, (Captain)?
This is my first time spending a holiday with friends, so I'm really looking forward to our party!
Hm? How did I celebrate before?
Hm... I think I just spent the night making the rat-ear headbands we sell at Utopia. I do those all by hand.
But while I was quietly working in my room, I'd listen to all the music and happy voices outside...
And I'd imagine how much fun they were having... And get jealous of all the merrymakers...
Whoa... Flashback city. Anyway, who cares what I was thinking about back then? It's in the past!
Let's get our shopping done and hurry back to the ship! Yep, that's what we should be doing, so chop-chop!

It's almost that time of year again... A special holy night for Yangtopia.
The feast is ready for the party... Cake and presents too. Just have to make sure I keep the good spirits up when it starts.
I've been looking forward to spending a fun time with (Captain).
Better get moving...
Ta-da! Happy holidays!
Come on, (Captain)! Hope you're ready to join me in Holytopia!
Tonight's party is going to blow you away!

Happy holidays! Welcome to the holy night special Eccentrical Parade!
Featuring the Grandcypher as today's stage!
Not my typical spot, but we'll definitely make it work! Let's get this show on the road!
Or... something like that. Wh-what do you think? Can I use the deck for a parade?
Ah... S-sorry, I don't mean to pressure you into it! Just forget I said anything...
Huh? You're fine with it?
Th-thank you so much... You're too kind, (Captain).
U-um... I'll do my best not to disappoint!
But maybe keep your expectations low...

(Someone please end meeee!)
(It's not like I planned to head home together with only (Captain) after the Eccentrical Parade finished...)
(Now we're surrounded by c-couples... I wonder if other people think we're a c-couple too?)
(I didn't ask for a holy night present like this...)
(Wait... I haven't said anything this whole time we've been walking... The captain must be super bored by now...)
(I have to strike up a conversation, but... what do I even say?)
(Probably something festive? But it's not like I know what people usually do for the holidays... I can barely handle a normal conversation besides...)
H-huh? You want to take the long way home? I-I don't mind, but...
You wanna see the town? O-oh! Yeah, that's a good idea since everything's all decorated...
(I'm happy to spend more time with (Captain), but... I still haven't figured out what to talk about! What do I doooo?)

(I'm happy to spend more time with (Captain), but... I still haven't figured out what to talk about! What do I doooo?)

Happy holidays.
Has a nice ring to it, don't you think? Ah, to spend such a special evening with Katalina...

Ah, there you are, (Captain). Perfect timing.
How about it? Care to spend this festive night with Katalina and me?
I considered spending it alone with Katalina, of course.
But then your face suddenly popped into my head.
Hee hee... I've become quite greedy, it seems.

(Captain), I... have something to ask you.
It's about my preparations for Katalina's gift this year.
It pains me to admit, but the Katalina I knew from our academy days is not the same as the Katalina here now.
As such, I think either you or Lyria would know her best.
You do have an advantage over me in that area; I realize that much.
So what do you say we put our heads together to find the best present for Katalina?

Oh, (Captain). I was just looking for you.
Would you have a moment for me?
I need you to help me pick the perfect present for my Katalina.
Once we've finished that, let's enjoy a cup of tea while we take in the beauty of our surroundings.
It is that special night... And I would like you to enjoy it.

Hello, (Captain). Thank you for making time for me this year as well.
Yes. Let's pick out a present for Katalina, then enjoy ourselves over a cup of tea again.
Hehe... That's strange. I wonder why I was looking forward so much to spending time with you.
Oh yes. This year, allow me to pick out a present for you as well.
In return for helping me choose Katalina's present... No, not quite.
The holy night is a night for giving something special, to someone who is special to you.
It may be different from how I feel about Katalina, but you are also someone very special to me, (Captain). That much is certain.

So this is the peace of the holiday season. Sara and I have never really had the chance to experience it before.
From those who survived the floods of Manawydan, she was chosen as Priestess of the Dunes, and I was chosen to protect her.
Though our bond is strong, we've never really had the type of relationship that would allow us to enjoy this season.
Come to think of it, that must have been hard for Sara and all the maidens that came before her.
Can we change that someday? Yes. I very much hope so.

I know I stored it here somewhere...
Oh hey, (Captain). What's up?
Oh, this? I was thinking of putting up the pinecone tree Sara made this year too.
Back when I was guard captain, our policy was to carry as few possessions as possible.
Interestingly enough, since I've joined your crew I've begun to keep more material things.
But that's not a bad thing, I think. At least, I'd like to think...
Whether it's belongings or memories, it's important to not throw away what's precious to us.

It seems that spices are a bit pricy this time of year. Everyone needs some, so there's a little shortage...
Well, we have everything we went shopping for. Let's return to the ship—there are people waiting for us in the kitchen.
That said, the town has really come alive on the eve of the holiday.
Everyone's singing the praises of the holiday... It's a symbol of peace.
No, maybe it would be better to call it a sort of everyday miracle...
...
I'm sorry... I've gotten a little emotional. Come on, let's hurry back. Sara and the others are waiting for us.

It's awfully chilly tonight. We might even see snow by dinnertime.
Don't just stand there getting all excited about the snow. Put on more clothes—you'll catch a cold.
If you get sick, you won't be able to enjoy the holy night dinner and presents this year.
What? What do you mean I'll take care of you if you get sick?
Fine. If that's how it's going to be... If you catch a cold, we'll have Katalina prepare our meals instead.
I'll bring the meals to your bedside and make you eat them, of course. After all, we have to make sure you're eating properly, right?
No? Then you'd better wear this scarf and get yourself warmed up.

What is it, (Captain)? You've been looking over like you want to tell me something...
I look tense, you say? It's just your imagination...
Or... maybe not. You're right. I know it's no use thinking so much about it, but I can't help it...
Actually, the other day, Sara and I sent off a greeting card to Yusuf, Nasir, and the soldiers back in Sable for the holidays.
The routes around Sable have been unstable lately, so I'm worried whether or not the card safely made it to them.
The cards we send them every year usually arrive late, so I suppose I got a little nervous.
You know, I'm surprised at myself for being able to worry about something like this now... I guess I've changed.
Huh? I've always been good at looking after things? What are you talking about, (Captain)... No need to flatter me like that.

Happy holidays!
Did you get any presents from Santa? I sure did!

The city sure is bustling with cheer this evening!
And the decorations everywhere look great!
I can't wait to show Jade one day... Oh! That's right!
Hey, (Captain). Wanna decorate my forest back home next year for the holidays?
The forest is pretty big! It'll be plenty of fun!

Hey, (Captain). Do you remember what I said last year?
I asked you to help me decorate my forest so that Jade could see a winter wonderland.
Well, things are kinda different now. I want to ask you guys again, but not until we can get Jade on the decoration team.
That'd be awesome. With Vyrn and Lyria and Jade working together... Yeah, it'd be the greatest winter celebration of all time.
Ho, ho, ho! Can't wait for fun times ahead!

(Captain), perfect timing! Would you mind helping out?
I want to give some holiday presents to the kids in the crew... But I noticed a little problem.
To do things the traditional way, you need to climb down a chimney and sneak the gifts into stockings.
But this ship doesn't have a chimney... That's why I've decided to add on a chimney to everyone's quarters! You can help me lay the bricks.
Hm? That would push the ship over the weight limit? And it's weird to sneak into people's rooms in the first place?
Waaaugh! That makes sense when you put it like that. So how should I hand over the presents?

Ha-hah! I sure love strollin' around town during the holiday season! We're all havin' so much fun! Ahahaha!
Haha... It's so shiny and sparkly... And there's a sea of people... Weeh...
I-I'm fine! A little crowd's not gonna scare me!
Why, you ask? Well!
I am an agent of the holidays, charged with the grave task of retrieving goods for the party...
Yes! I am none other than the great party ranger, Walder!
Let's head out, (Captain)! Preferably at a fast clip!

Happy holidays, Singularity. Wam's here to give you a present.
Children get presents for the holidays, right? I'm an adult though.
I already did thorough research on what mortal children like. And I know people like snowy winter nights.
Here!
(Captain) looks up at the snowflakes fluttering down from the sky and smiles, grateful for Wamdus's kindness.
Yes, that smile. Makes me happy too.
But this won't be enough, right? How about a little more?
A bit more?
Oh, it's... too much? All right... Getting it just right is hard.
Let's play with the snow tomorrow! That should clear the snow off the deck. It's a promise, Singularity!

While on a delivery mission in Stardust Town, (Captain) runs into Wamdus, who's hard at work preparing holiday decorations.
Hmm... I think I'll do this... Then paint a little bit of color over here...
Oh, heya, Singularity! Have you come to help us make tree decorations?
Choose: I'm just here to drop off some stuff.
Ah, neat. Keep up the good work!
But if you have any time and energy left over, you're welcome to come make some decorations with us. It's tons of fun!
We're decorating all of the trees in Stardust Town, so the more we can create, the merrier!
Encouraged by a gaggle of children echoing Wamdus's invitation, (Captain) sits down to lend a hand.
Hmm... So that's how you make stars, huh, Singularity? Interesting. I guess the idea of a star differs from mortal to mortal!
Making them one at a time like this is kinda tough, but at least it's enjoyable!
When you're strong, you tend to get plenty of tasks done super fast.
Crafts like these teach me that it's good to do some things nice and slow.
But maybe the best part about all of this is that we're working together. I sure do love having company!
Thanks for sticking around, Singularity. I'm really glad to have your help.

Happy holidays!
Today is a very special day. Who are you planning on spending it with?
Naturally, I'll be spending it with the monsters. We're going to celebrate together.
Say, why don't you join us? You can bring Vyrn along with you. We'll have a splendid evening.

May tonight be a blessed night of miracles. A time of happiness for all the skies.
Hm? Oh, it's you. What's wrong? You look surprised.
I am a holy man, after all. On special days like today, I pray... for the peace and happiness of monsters.
Huh? Am I going to pray for people too? Do I have to? That sounds like such a pain...

Oh, oh my... This is quite the spectacle.
Oh, hello. Did you need me for something? Oh, you're having a party to celebrate the holidays?
Never mind that; look at this! There are monsters huddled together sleeping down there. I think they're hibernating!
Ah, what noble creatures! Wish I could snuggle up with them.
Sounds like a good idea, right?

And... lift. Oof. Oh, hi there, (Captain). What am I carrying?
Presents of course. I'm going to give these to the monsters.
I made a cake too, but I'm not feeling confident that they'll like it. Probably should've just stuck to fresh meat...
Say, can you help a fellow out, (Captain)? With what, you ask?
Hehehe... That's for you to find out.

Oh, it's you. You're surprised to see that I've bought a tree?
No, I won't decorate it. It's a present for my monsters, a new perch for them to rest upon.
You see, the monsters currently in my care have a proclivity for hunting prey from the treetops. I thought they would enjoy an upgrade to their environment.
Would you like to see how they hunt? I had hoped to do a little research into their behavior, but I'll need some... assistance.
With your reaction speed, I'm certain I could get some excellent results. So how about it?

Wilnas

Singularity, is there a Harvin in your crew with time on their hands?
I'm not looking to put them in any danger! I simply want to use their appearance as a reference for my own vessel.
Hm? Since this current form is only temporary, I'd like to make it smaller for this evening.
Choose: Why's that?
Well... I was hoping to observe in the kitchen as they prepare the food for the feast...
But my current form is so large that I'd be in the way no matter how much I tried to avoid it!
That's why I'm searching for a Harvin to be the model for my vessel!
I could make myself smaller without a reference, but I'm sure I'd end up looking strange and distract everyone in the kitchen.
I hope you'll introduce me to someone, Singularity! Anyone will do!

Hubris, hubris! Now I know what all the mortals mean when they say "this is flippin' grody, man."
Ah, Singularity! Happy holidays! I regret to inform you there shall be no winter banquet tonight. That is, unless you have a hankering for crisp bones and burnt meat.
For shame, for shame! I tried my claw at cookery, but unfortunately, my flames were too awesome a force...
I have dishonored my ingredients. I was just about to eat everything in repentance when you arrived.
Choose: Need another mouth?
My thanks, my eternal thanks! However, I fear this offal is not meat for mortal consumption.
I would not, for the skies, give you food poisoning on such an auspicious occasion! This feast of repentance is meant for me and me alone.
One day, I shall cook a meal that won't lay waste to your weak stomach. But until that time comes... Perseverance, perseverance.

Wulf and Renie

Wulf: The holiest night... I've never been able to celebrate any special days like this.
Winter is usually such a harsh season. Living in that forest, we never had much to call our own either.
This is Renie's first time to celebrate as well...
I mean with me. Before we met, she may have celebrated elsewhere...
But I'm not sure. She hasn't said anything to me about things like this before.
I'm glad Renie has the chance to experience so many new things just by being on this ship.
Now if only I could get her to come out of that room...

Wulf: Is that you, (Captain)? If it's about the holiday party...
Food from inside?
You brought this out here just for me? Why, thank you.
Renie wasn't too keen on joining the party either, but I'm sure she won't refuse good food like this.
Despite appearances, she's becoming more and more accustomed to the crew.
Though with Renie being the way she is, I realize it's not easy to tell...
Oh sorry, I didn't mean to keep you here. You should go back and enjoy the party to the fullest.
Happy holidays, (Captain).

Wulf: Ah, (Captain). Happy holidays.
Renie: Happy holidays.
Wulf: Renie, you said you'd get your own food this time around, didn't you?
Renie: No, I'm going to come with and pick the food. That's all.
Wulf: Didn't you say last year you'd carry it yourself too?
Renie: Well... I did, but...
Oh, (Captain)... You'll go with me to the galley?
Hmph, you can do whatever you want. Let's go, Wulf.
Wulf: Heh. We should hurry along before she completely leaves us behind.

Renie: Look, Wulf, it's snowing.
Wulf: Indeed, it is. Are you feeling cold? Shall we return to the room?
Renie: No, this isn't too bad really.
It used to be a lot colder and snowed a lot more back in the forest.
Wulf: True... Why don't we take this chance to join the party inside?
Renie: I'll pass.
Wulf: I see...
Renie: But if we're just watching the snow here...
I don't mind you being here, (Captain). Of course, it's up to you.

Wulf: Hmm? Oh, (Captain). Happy holidays.
Renie: ...
Wulf: You've come to invite us to the holiday party, I presume? Thank you, but Renie...
Well, like last time, I think that we'll just pick out some food and head back to our quarters—
Renie: No, I'll go.
Wulf: You mean... Will you stay at the party to mingle?
Renie: Yes... At least for a little bit...
Wulf: ...!
Oh... is that so? Well then, let's get going. Let's be sure to enjoy ourselves.
Renie: Just a little.
Wulf: (Captain), I appreciate your invite, as usual.
Seeing Renie come out of her shell like this... Well, it's one of the best presents I could have asked for.

Yggdrasil

It's the season to be jolly, and (Captain) and crew are enjoying a feast well into the night.
In the midst of the festivities, a silent Yggdrasil sits fidgeting.
Yggdrasil: ...
Upon spotting her vexation, (Captain) gets up and walks slowly to her.
"Happy holidays," says the captain.
Yggdrasil: ...!
She does not speak, but nothing need be said. Her smile says more than words ever could.
(Captain) responds in kind, wondering how on a cold winter night like this, such a lovely flower could bloom.

Yggdrasil: ...!
Yggdrasil is staring fondly into the sky.
She holds a stocking in her hand expectantly waiting for Santa Claus.
Yggdrasil: ...!
She looks at (Captain) and appears to be trying to communicate something.
It seems she would like (Captain) to make a wish with her.
(Captain) follows her lead and smiles into the great blue.
(Captain) can hear her wish spiritually—for everyone to be happy.

Yggdrasil: ...
Yggdrasil helps her fellow crew members set up the holiday decorations.
The sparkle of the illuminations on the holiday tree fill her heart with joy.
Yggdrasil: ...!
She turns to (Captain) with a wide grin on her lips, proudly pointing to the ornaments she put up.
Yggdrasil: ...!
Her beautiful smile, further enhanced by the festive lights, shows the joy she feels from the bottom of her heart.

Yggdrasil: ...
Yggdrasil notices the approaching captain and gives a bright smile.
Yggdrasil: ...!
She holds a wreath made of red flowers, while similar flowers adorn her hair.
(Captain) peers behind her to see other crew members wearing the same blooming decorations.
Yggdrasil: ...!
The captain realizes Yggdrasil made them with the leftover materials from her wreath.
Opening her hand, Yggdrasil reveals an ornate corsage and pins it over the captain's chest.
Yggdrasil: ...!
She claps her hands at the finished result.
In high spirits, she grabs (Captain)'s hand and pulls the captain over to join the others.

(Captain) and Yggdrasil walk through town, out to do some shopping together.
Yggdrasil: ...!
Yggdrasil happily drinks a box of juice in the illuminated scenery of the festive town.
Yggdrasil: ...?
She comes to a halt in front of a holiday tree displayed outside a store.
The tree's branches sag with the weight of all the ornaments hanging off its green stems.
Yggdrasil: ...!
Concerned, Yggdrasil anxiously squeezes the juice box in her hands.
She looks imploringly at (Captain).
With an understanding nod, the captain goes to speak with the store's attendants.
They agree to remove some of the tree's burden after a brief discussion.
In place of the shiny baubles, (Captain) and Yggdrasil offer to advertise for the shop and draw people's attention.
Yggdrasil: ...!
The two confidently stand out front and stuff their cheeks full of the store's holiday sweets.
Thanks to their eye-catching methods, the store manages to achieve record-breaking sales.

Never even occurred to me that this ship would be having a holiday party.
Do you know how my crew celebrated?
Because I sure don't. I always went into town to have fun.

Hey there, (Captain). What's the word on the holiday party? I've brought a little special something this year—a gigantic fir tree!
I'm not too familiar with some of these customs, but do as the youngsters do as I always say. You've gotta stay young at heart, you know what I mean?
The weight of the tree might be throwing the Grandcypher off balance, but no worries! I'm sure Rackam's got it all under control. Hahaha!

(Captain), I'm here as your escort. To the party of course.
Come on. No one wants to start it without you.
Once you're a member of the crew it all makes sense, but nothing is the same without you.
When I was captain of my own crew, I would just head out with a woman by my side on nights like this... Now I know why my second-in-command was always mad at me.
It's good to know some things do make more sense with age. Getting old isn't so bad after all.

Hahaha! You want to have a snowball fight with me? Is this a proposal I'm hearing?
My dear madamoiselle and me, cuddling beside the window in a stylish cabin as we gaze out at the fluttering snow...
That was how I'd imagined spending the perfect holy night... But your words bring back memories.
Memories of when I was but a boy, when my friend and I would put our all into competing with each other in a snowball fight.
Heh. I suppose it wouldn't be so bad to let loose and run around like in the old days.
Of course, I won't be taking it easy on you. That all right with you?

With this much snow, it's bound to get especially chilly tonight.
Make sure you tuck yourself in tight so you don't catch a cold in your sleep.
Haha, you don't need to worry about me. I've never caught a cold in my life.
You wanna know why? Well, the reason's simple.
A guy like me is always burning hot after daily doses of fiery love. Amore is the key to a healthy life, (Captain).

Never even occurred to me that this ship would be having a holiday party.
Do you know how my crew celebrated?
Because I sure don't. I always went into town to have fun.

Hey there, (Captain). What's the word on the holiday party? I've brought a little special something this year—a gigantic fir tree!
I'm not too familiar with some of these customs, but do as the youngsters do as I always say. You've gotta stay young at heart, you know what I mean?
The weight of the tree might be throwing the Grandcypher off balance, but no worries! I'm sure Rackam's got it all under control. Hahaha!

(Captain), I'm here as your escort. To the party of course.
Come on. No one wants to start it without you.
Once you're a member of the crew it all makes sense, but nothing is the same without you.
When I was captain of my own crew, I would just head out with a woman by my side on nights like this... Now I know why my second-in-command was always mad at me.
It's good to know some things do make more sense with age. Getting old isn't so bad after all.

Hahaha! You want to have a snowball fight with me? Is this a proposal I'm hearing?
My dear madamoiselle and me, cuddling beside the window in a stylish cabin as we gaze out at the fluttering snow...
That was how I'd imagined spending the perfect holy night... But your words bring back memories.
Memories of when I was but a boy, when my friend and I would put our all into competing with each other in a snowball fight.
Heh. I suppose it wouldn't be so bad to let loose and run around like in the old days.
Of course, I won't be taking it easy on you. That all right with you?

With this much snow, it's bound to get especially chilly tonight.
Make sure you tuck yourself in tight so you don't catch a cold in your sleep.
Haha, you don't need to worry about me. I've never caught a cold in my life.
You wanna know why? Well, the reason's simple.
A guy like me is always burning hot after daily doses of fiery love. Amore is the key to a healthy life, (Captain).

People keep mistakin' me fer this Santa Claus guy! A-hyuk-hyuk-hyuk!
They keep callin' me a fake Santa and chasin' me all around town!

Happy holidays!
If it's for you guys, I wouldn't mind holding a kitchen knife again.
That surprises you? Fishing isn't my only skill, you know. I spent so much time cooking in the mountains that I could cook blindfolded!

Oho! Are we all getting together for a holiday bash?
Hm, and that's where we'll do our gift exchange? That can only mean...
Bingo! Raw fish just won't do!
Oh, hakuna your tatas! I'll fry 'em so good you'll forget they were ever raw! A-hyuk-hyuk-hyuk!

(Captain), where do you keep the dye and varnish?
I wanted to whittle up some fishing lures as gifts for the other folks in the crew.
You take a pocket knife to shape the wood down into a shape that'll float, and then...
Hm, are you really that interested in lure-making? I should've known you'd be curious!
Once you can do your thing with a pocket knife, you'll be that much better as a swordfighter.
A-hyuk-hyuk! I found another thing I can teach you—I guess this holiday's turned out to be a good one.

Hoh, you're here, (Captain). Would you do an old man a favor and take a look at this?
Over here, on the tree. I carved a wee wooden fish. The craftsmanship isn't bad, eh?
When the chilly winds strike it, it sways in the air like a fish drifting along in water. Pretty fancy, if I do say so myself.
It's like life, you know. When things get turbulent, sometimes you have to simply go where the flow takes you.
You don't have to think too hard about it. I'm saying that sometimes you should let your friends take care of things and go on a bit of a lark, see.
You better really enjoy yourself tonight! A-hyuk-hyuk!

Hey, hey, (Captain)! Look what I got!
I found this present next to my bed when I woke up!
Santa came to visit me! What a swell guy!
Oh, yeah! I have to tell him thanks!
But, um... How am I supposed to meet him anyway?
Hm... As long as I stay on his nice list, maybe I can try to catch him next year.

Hey, I saw Bro Kou in that room over there decorating for the party just now...
Is there anything I can help with too, (Captain)?
Preparing the dishes to be served?
Th-that's a pretty important task... Are you sure you want me to do it?
Well... you can leave it to me! I've been in charge of cooking and stuff recently, so arranging it nicely on dishes should be easy!
Okay... So you want me to put the veggies around the meat? Gotcha! I'll make sure they look nice for everyone to enjoy!

Look, (Captain)! Look, look, look!
Santa came and left a ton of presents here!
There's cookies and candy and cake and deluxe fried tofu! Apparently it's all for me!
Here, I'll share them with you! Let's eat these together!
Hm? Why're you staring at me like that? I just wanna share these and... what was it again...
Oh yeah, "pay it forward"! Happiness is meant to be shared with the people around you, right?
Hehe. I learned that from you, Sis Yuel, Sis Societte, and Bro Kou.
But it's strange. The wrapping paper smells... kinda like you, (Captain).
Oh well. Anyway, come on! Let's dig in together!

(Captain)! Hey, (Captain)! Let's dress up as Santa!
I've got a present for Bro Kou, but I was thinking, just giving it to him like this would be kinda boring!
So why don't you dress up as Santa with me, and we can give Bro Kou a surprise!
And take a look at this! I prepared something for everyone in the crew! I used the savings I had stored up for a while!
Hehe, I hope the presents will make everyone happy. Come on, let's go, (Captain)!

Happy holidays, (Captain)!
Let's be Santa Claus together and hand out presents to the crew again this year!
Remember how everyone was super happy about it last year?
It's nice to receive gifts, but it feels even better to give sometimes.
If it wasn't for you, Bro Kou, Sis Yuel, and Sis Societte, I wouldn't have realized this.
Thank you!
Anyway, no time to wait—we got lots of presents to deliver! Haha! Sit tight everyone, we're coming!

Young Cat (Event)

(Young Cat): ...
(Young Cat) gazes at the roast chicken (Captain) is carrying as if sizing up his prey.

  • Choose: Seasoned chicken isn't good for cats!
    So saying, (Captain) sets a piece of unseasoned, boiled fowl in front of the hungry feline.
    (Young Cat): Myaaa...
    (Young Cat) gives the offering a cautious sniff, then chomps down on it and carries it away.
  • Choose: This piece here is just for you.
    (Young Cat): Mrrrow?
    (Young Cat) tilts his head quizzically, regarding this poultry offering.
    With a wistful glance at the roast chicken (Captain) still holds, he chomps down on the boiled piece and trots away with it.

(Young Cat): Meow!
(Young Cat) plays with a ball of yarn under the holiday tree.
(Young Cat): Mrowrow...
It isn't long before (Young Cat)'s body gets tangled up in all the yarn.
(Young Cat): Mew, mew!
Starting from (Young Cat)'s legs, (Captain) undoes the knots that has him in a bind.

(Young Cat): Meow, meow...
Inside (Captain)'s dresser, (Young Cat) rummages around.
(Young Cat): Meow!
Finding what he is looking for, the determined feline drags the object back to his bed and hides it.
Late into the night, (Captain) peers into (Young Cat)'s bed.
(Young Cat): ...
By his side is one of (Captain)'s socks.
A look inside reveals that the sock is packed full of cat treats.

(Young Cat): Meooow.
(Young Cat) is energetically sharpening his claws on the holiday tree.
(Young Cat): Meow.
Once he's satisfied, he steps back and emits a small sound of approval.

  • Choose: Let's get decorating.
    (Young Cat): Meow!
    (Young Cat)'s eyes sparkle as he stares at the decorations in (Captain)'s hands.
  • Choose: Claws nice and sharp?
    (Young Cat): Meooow.
    (Young Cat) responds by showing off his now pristine claws to (Captain).

And as the captain sets to work hanging ornaments on the tree, (Young Cat) helps by playfully batting at a strand of tinsel.

It's a cold winter morning.
(Young Cat): Zzz...
(Captain) awakens to find that something seems to have crawled into a large sock on the ground.

  • Choose: A present for me?
    (Captain) graciously picks up (Young Cat), sock and all.
    (Young Cat): Meow...
    The captain brings the young cat into the warmth of the bed covers.
  • Choose: Now how'd you get in there?
    (Captain) smiles and wraps the furry bundle into a warm blanket.

(Young Cat): Me... ow...
(Young Cat) wiggles his paws, apparently dreaming of something.
(Young Cat): Zzz...
But the moment soon passes, and the cat would return to his gentle slumber.

Hey! Isn't today the day good kids get lots and lots of presents?
I heard there's like this old grandpa guy who wears red and he brings everyone tons of cool presents!
Oh, that is sooo cool! I can't wait! I've been good all year, too! That means I'm gonna get lots and lots!
I hope you get loads too!

Whoo! It's holiday season! Mm, what to do, what to do...
Oh! There's this thing we do where I'm from! Come here—I'll show ya.
First we put on a coat dyed in red!
Next put in presents people would love to get as a gift in this snow-white bag.
All in there? Ooh, it's packed! Now carry it over yer shoulder and put on a bushy white beard fer the final touch-up.
There, all done! Hm? Whaddaya do in this getup, you ask?
You'll want to walk around and give out gifts to those who've helped ya out over the year. Seein' their face burst into a smile is priceless!
And now... It's time for my present. C'mon, (Captain)! Hahaha!

Ta-da! A present to you for bein' a good kid all year round, (Captain)!
C'mon, open it up, open it up! Go, go, go!
Well? How about it? A pass to "cuddle wit' tails" for an entire day!
That's right—any tail is fair game, not just mine!
Ahaha! I didn't exactly get permission from anyone else though, so it's better to stick with my tail!
So? When do you think you'll use it? Just keep in mind that cuddling is as far as I'll let ya go!

Hmm... I'm stumped. What kinda present should I give (Captain) this year?
Sigh... Maybe I'd make a good present...
No, you big dummy! That's so stupid!
Seriously, get a grip, Yuel! You're just embarassin' yourself now—
Aaaaah! (Captain)! How long have you been there for?
Heh... Heh-heh... Um, well...
Look, I got you a present... It's me...

Happy holidays, (Captain)! Check out these holiday candles!
Time to light 'em up with foxflame...
Haah!
Phew, is that pretty or what, (Captain)? Hehe...
Didja know that holiday candles have five different meanings?
They symbolize a prayer of peace, hope, joy, and eternal life fer whoever yer celebratin' with. Romantic, don'tcha think?
The last one? Huh? Did I say "five"? Wasn't it four...
Eep! Touchin' my ears is against the rules! That tickles... O-okay! Fine, fine, you win...
The last meaning... is love.
Ahaha... I can feel my cheeks flarin' up...
A merry night to both of us, (Captain)!

Yuel: Are ya ready, Societte? It's time to put out the holiday presents for Kou and You and make ourselves scarce!
We gotta be quiet and careful as can be. And take care not to trip on the bottom of your kimono or nothin'!
Societte: R-right... I'm a li'l nervous... but I think I'll be okay!
I can't fail those two. They were really lookin' forward to Santa coming this year too.
Yuel: C'mon, Societte, just relax. Untense your shoulders an' take a deep breath...
Societte: O-okay... Haah... Whew...
Th-thanks, Yuel. I'm feelin' a li'l calmer now.
Yuel: Great, then let's get goin'!

Yuel: Societte! Hurry it up, will ya! If we don't get movin' soon, we'll miss out on all of the holiday fixin's!
Societte: Hehe, don't be so dramatic, Yuel. We saw the feast earlier, there's plenty to go around.
Yuel: Grr, I guess so. But you know as well as I do that this ship's home to a bunch of eaters! If we let our guards down for a second, we'll starve!
Societte: Speaking of eaters, since when did you become such a glutton, Yuel?
Yuel: Hehehe... I'm gonna let you in on a little somethin' I heard about the spread. But only if ya keep it on the hush-hush, got it?
Societte: Hehe, you've got a secret, eh? Well, come on, let's hear it.
Yuel: They've added inari sushi made with the tastiest fried tofu pouches to the feast! We gotta hurry and grab enough for Kou and You!
Societte: That's a juicy bit of intel! The Yuel intelligence network is no joke...
The boys'll be jumpin' for joy when they hear about this. Yummy sushi, here we come!
Yuel: The holidays really are the most wonderful time of the year! You and Kou are gonna be thrilled!

Yuisis

Um, happy holidays... I guess.
Truth is, I ain't never been to a party like this before.
Back when I was leader of my gang, we were always too busy gettin' ready for New Year's around now.
But you guys are really chilled out.
You know, I read in this book about a gang called the Elves that's always active this time of year.
Their boss is called Santa Claus. Apparently they always strike in the middle of the night.
We better be ready.

(Captain)? What're you doing here at this hour?
Me? I'm waiting for Santa.
Ah, don't get the wrong idea though.
I've learned from last year. I know now that Santa isn't the boss of some gang.
This year I'm going to meet him. So I'm waiting here.
After all, Santa rewards all upstanding sky denizens by buying the presents himself, doesn't he?
I want to thank such a caring and charitable person at least once—
What? It doesn't work like that?

(Captain)?
Why are you in town alone?
Me? I'm just taking in the sight of the snow in my stroll through town.
...
The sheer expanse of white puts me in the mood for a drink...
Why, you ask? There's just something really graceful and refined about drinking to the pristine view of snow.
No drink for you though, (Captain). Maybe when you have more years under your belt.
I'll be glad to have a glass with you then.
Hehe, I'm looking forward to it.

Oh! (Captain), good thing you're here!
I'm makin' a cake right now, but I could sure use some help with this.
Would you mind lendin' me a hand for a bit?
Thanks. Have a taste of this whipped cream for me, will you?
I think it's at just the right sweetness, but a second opinion would be nice.
Okay, open up now. Say, "Aah!"

(Captain)? Are you here for some shopping?
Yes, me too. I was thinking of buying a few holiday presents for everyone...
Oh, (Captain)! Could you come with me for a bit?
I made it out here to town, but I actually have no idea what everyone would enjoy receiving...
So I'm hoping you could come and help me look.
After all, a present that the both of us agree on would definitely be better, right?
Is that okay with you?
Thanks. Then let's get going.
Hehe. Who'd have thought that we'd be out shopping together on this holy day? It's almost like we're a couple.

Um, happy holidays... I guess.
Truth is, I ain't never been to a party like this before.
Back when I was leader of my gang, we were always too busy gettin' ready for New Year's around now.
But you guys are really chilled out.
You know, I read in this book about a gang called the Elves that's always active this time of year.
Their boss is called Santa Claus. Apparently they always strike in the middle of the night.
We better be ready.

(Captain)? What're you doing here at this hour?
Me? I'm waiting for Santa.
Ah, don't get the wrong idea though.
I've learned from last year. I know now that Santa isn't the boss of some gang.
This year I'm going to meet him. So I'm waiting here.
After all, Santa rewards all upstanding sky denizens by buying the presents himself, doesn't he?
I want to thank such a caring and charitable person at least once—
What? It doesn't work like that?

(Captain)?
Why are you in town alone?
Me? I'm just taking in the sight of the snow in my stroll through town.
...

Hey, look. Something white's falling from the sky.
Is this... snow?
It really melts when you touch it...
Ah... I hope you're not feeling too cold, (Captain).
I understand that mortals have a tendency to get sick in the face of overwhelming cold. Do be careful, (Captain).
This tingling I feel in my hands...
Perhaps this is what it means to be cold.

After seeing how excited Zooey gets around this time of year, I'm guessing holiday cuisine is no ordinary fare.
I would like to try some myself.
I won't know what kinds of food I will enjoy if I don't even taste a bite, right?
What is this? It has a pleasant smell.
Hm, it is a type of meat. I can tell that much.
Lately I have begun taking to meat over vegetables.
What are some meat dishes you recommend, (Captain)? Please introduce me to new foods, especially ones reserved for the holidays.

Happy holidays, (Captain).
The holy night's dinner is a time for feasting and for joy.
I've prepared some special wine that will pair well with our food. I'll make sure only the adults partake of it though.
Come now. Don't give me that look.
You'll have grape juice in place of wine.
Hah. You will love it. And I hope be satisfied by it as well.

Happy holidays, (Captain). I have something for you.
This book here is one that I've really enjoyed since I was a child.
Oh, relax. I assure you it's no scholarly text. It's a famous tale of chivalry based in Levin.
I love fictional stories. In a sense, they allow me to live through events that I would never be able to experience in my own life.
A world unbound by reality, where you can stretch out your wings and soar to the limits of your imagination.
Of course, I have countless other books I can recommend you as well. I ought to give you a tour of my personal study some time, (Captain).

On their way home from shopping for the upcoming feast, Yurius suddenly stops and gazes up at the sky.
Oh... Would you look at that... Snow is starting to fall.
How nice. I hope it continues for some time.
Because it looks pretty? No. Because it covers everything without judgment.
All is hidden under a pure white layer... Pain, sadness, dark pasts...
Ah... My apologies. I did not mean to speak of such an ill-fitting topic for the season.
Please be at ease. I don't plan on being gloomy during the feast.
Being with you all is comforting, but also...
Never mind. Come, let us return. Everyone is waiting.

My apologies, (Captain). I'm afraid I'll be spending the holy night this year in Levin.
Though restorations are still underway, we've made enough progress for Levin's people to be able to enjoy the holidays.
His Highness wishes to throw a banquet in the castle, and I'm to be the program director. His personal orders, of course.
That's why I've been busy arranging orders for wine and food—writing letters to important people. It's been quite the honor.
I owe His Highness my thanks. Not only did he save my life, but he's also given me a role of great significance.
The banquet is open to everyone, not just citizens of our country. You should join us if you happen to be free.
I'm certain His Highness would love to see you there.

(Captain), I hope you're enjoying the holidays. Speaking of which, there's something I'd like to show you.
Gaze up at the night sky. The result of my research shall soon reveal itself.
Have I discovered a way to make it snow? Heh, I'm afraid the sight I've prepared is far more extravagant.
Fireworks pair rather well with the holy night, don't you think?
My dear friend taught me the basics, which I improved upon to make the spectacle more appropriate for the occasion.
Color choice and arrangement were taken into consideration, but the most impactful design choice was making them explode into shapes like holiday trees and Santa...
Ah, my apologies. I didn't mean to distract with my explanation.
The fireworks show has only just begun. Let's enjoy it to the fullest.

Season's greetings!
Hey, Captain, let's try to finish up our work early today! We've gotta be up early tomorrow!
Hehe. After all, Santa's coming tonight!
Aw, what's the matter? You think you're not a kid anymore?

Huh? What's the matter? Do you need something from the kitchen?
Hehe. It's pretty astounding to see all the food-obsessed crewmates here in the kitchen to prepare tonight's special meal.
And it seems we're nearly out of table space for all the food! Oh dear!
Now, (Captain), you can't go nibbling on the food before the big meal!
Wait for everyone to sit first! If we all sit down and eat together, everyone will feel warm and welcome.
Eat your fill, talk the night away, and go to bed, satisfied and waiting for Santa Claus.

(Captain)! You've made your way here to the kitchen. Care to lend me a hand with the cooking?
Hehe. Thank you. I plan on making a lot, so I appreciate the extra manpower.
Oh, that vegetable is something I got from my hometown.
Let's all give thanks to the blessings of nature as we feast to celebrate this season.
However, we must also remember to go to bed early. Because you've been a good kid all year.
One would assume Santa Claus will be paying you a visit tonight.

Ah, happy holidays, (Captain).
We're having a gift exchange at tonight's party, right?
Haha, I wove a tapestry in preparation for that.
I tried to fashion it in the image of the yuletide night... I wonder if it'll be a popular gift.
You think it will? That's great to know. And it's even greater to get a compliment from you, (Captain).
With your seal of approval, I'm sure my gift will be a big hit at the party.
At first I was worried about presenting something that catered too greatly to my tastes.
I wonder what everyone will choose... I'm getting all excited just thinking about it!

(Captain), have you already finished setting out your stocking? If not, please take this.
Santa Claus will fill it with presents, so I thought you could use one.
Oh, there are stockings for Lyria and Vyrn as well.
It's just the pattern may not be current with today's customs. I'm not very familiar with such things after all.
So long as you find them acceptable...
You do? Oh, thank goodness. That's quite the relief.
Even after this festive season passes, the weather will surely continue to be cold. I suggest wearing these stockings to bed on especially frigid nights.

Happy holidays... Kids are supposed to get presents today, right?
Hmm... Does that mean I should give them something too?

(Captain). It's very... calm today.
Such calmness never existed for me nor my friends...
I won't forget this moment. Thank you, friend.

I'm invited to a winter night's feast?
Thank you. I can barely stand in awe of you.
It is said that a friend of a friend is my friend.
Letting me spend time with your friends is a chance I mustn't waste.
Let us go now.
Hm? I'm not smiling enough?
I will work harder then.

What? You've all assembled with presents in hand?
You surely don't mean... The last person standing will walk away with them all?
Oh, I see... You plan to exchange them... How intriguing...
Now what should I give you?
A traditional decoration from my village? Would that please you?
Ah, thank you. I haven't made one in forever.

Ah, (Captain)... Happy holidays.
Hehe, I'm setting up the holiday tree's decorations.
Each trinket has its own meaning and significance.
That's why I fashioned this traditional charm, instilling my own wish into it...
My wish being the peace and smiles of all my friends...
I pray that this wish spreads far beyond my personal reach and benefits people throughout all the skies.

Happy holidays. I tend to fall ill a lot during this season.
You know those people who get sick on important days? That's me.
But Santa comes to see me anyway...

What a beautiful night it is, (Captain). Thankfully, I'm not feeling so bad today.
In fact I'm feeling really good for once. The magic within my body is rarely this calm.
I guess miracles really do happen. I couldn't have asked for a better gift.
I rarely get the chance to move freely, so let me take this opportunity to do something for you.
Tell me what I can do for you, (Captain). I want you to feel the miracle too.

The holidays are here, (Captain).
I know I've fallen sick and caused you trouble numerous times, but I'm feeling exceptionally well today.
Call it a holiday miracle. How nice it'd be if the miracle would persist long term.
I prefer to be of aid to others when I'm feeling up to it—especially for special occasions like this.
That's why I went ahead and decorated this tree. What do you think?
Too many accessories, huh? I guess trying too hard can have the opposite effect.
I'm never good with these things, (Captain). Can you offer me some advice?
I see... Thank you. I'm so glad to be able to just blend in together with everyone.

H... H-happy holidays, (Captain)...
Heh... Ahaha... Sorry, I'm a little more under the weather than usual, actually...
I stayed up all night hoping to catch a glimpse of Santa... So I've been wandering around all morning in a stupor.
Ah, this has nothing to do with my magical blight. Sorry... I didn't mean to worry you like that.
Did I meet Santa? Well about that, actually...
I must have dozed off at some point, because when I came to, a present was waiting right before my eyes.
Ngh... I was so close to seeing him for myself, too!
Next year I'll definitely stay awake and thank him properly! Say, (Captain)... Will you be there to make sure I don't fall asleep?

(Captain)?
Cough... Aren't you supposed to be enjoying the holiday party right now?
I'm sorry you had to slip out to come check on me in my room.
Rgh... Hngh... Pant... Wheeze...
Aah... I do feel a tad bit better now, but I doubt I'll be able to make a full recovery today.
Is that a candle? What a soothing light it provides.
Oh, so you've brought it to help me bask in the atmosphere of the party.
Your kindness is like the sky above, (Captain)... It has no boundaries.
Thanks for always being so thoughtful, but I hope you'll get back to the party and enjoy it for my sake as well.

Is there anything I can help out with, (Captain)?
Up until now I'd been avoiding the annual winter parties for fear of losing control without warning. Even so, I wanted to be useful in some way.
Like cutting the meats and vegetables for you. While I do this, go take a load off.
As a member of your crew, I feel ashamed for making my captain wait on me hand and foot.
Now if you'll excuse me...
Hyaaah!

Here, (Captain). Tell me to help with the party again this year.
There's no need to hold back. This is my way of having fun.
I noticed when I helped out last year that all the walking around allowed me to meet a lot of crew members.
I was surprised to see how lively the crew had become.
I'd like to make up for all the times I've kept others away and made them feel uncomfortable because of my illness.
Think of it as a holiday present from yours truly.
Heh. Listen to me sounding all high and mighty.

Bells ringing, carols being sung, children laughing...
This night is filled with all sorts of tones and voices.
In the past, I never had the chance to sit quietly and listen to the sounds around me.
Thanks to you, my world has expanded. I'm truly grateful.
I guess meeting you was no less than a holiday gift for me.

Happy holidays! Hey, are you preparing a big feast for today?
Everyone's so excited for the holiday festivities...
And it's the kind of peaceful life that we work so hard to protect.

So, (Captain), what are you planning for us this holiday season? Well, the ladies in the crew are looking forward to a feast, for sure! Ha-ha! When it comes to food, you'd better put up or get put out, (Captain)!

Hey, (Captain). Want some cake? I got a little carried away and bought too many. Go on! Take whichever one you like.
Huh? You're gonna eat it right here and now? Well, I mean... Sure, it's all right...
...
You wanna know why I'm staring? Oh, I was just thinking how much you look like a regular kid with your cheeks stuffed with cake...
I mean, should you even be eating that right before the party? You won't have room to eat anything else!
Forgot about the party, huh?
Ha-ha! You can be a real airhead sometimes, Captain!

Okay, the decorations are all complete. Now we just wait for the party.
Hm? You're surprised I spent my time helping you set everything up?
I might not look it, but I look forward to your invite every year.
I really like the friendly vibes everyone gives off in this crew, and we all just get along so well.
You know how disagreeing factions sometimes take root within a single organization? Take the Society, for example.
But there's none of that here, which makes my time with the crew all that much more enjoyable.
Ah, it's so relaxing just being here.

Mmf! Capfen! Mappy Mfolifays!
Gulp!
Haha, sorry. Shouldn't talk with my mouth full.
The Grandcypher has the best mess around. Your galleys are better stocked and better staffed than the imperial kitchens, I swear. I get kinda carried away whenever I eat with you guys.
So, did you decide what you want for your gift? I at least wanna give you something as thanks for all the food.
No requests, huh? Hm... In that case...
I know. Do you have a formal outfit? Something dressy for special occasions?
If not, I can pick one out for you. I used to be a knight from a pretty classy place, you know? I'll make sure you're dressed to the nines.
What say we go on a shopping date tomorrow? Not many people get that privilege y'know. I hope you're grateful! Haha...

Happy holidays! Hey, are you preparing a big feast for today?
Everyone's so excited for the holiday festivities...
And it's the kind of peaceful life that we work so hard to protect.

So, (Captain), what are you planning for us this holiday season?
Well, the ladies in the crew are looking forward to a feast, for sure!
Ha-ha! When it comes to food, you'd better put up or get put out, (Captain)!

Hey, (Captain). Want some cake? I got a little carried away and bought too many. Go on! Take whichever one you like.
Huh? You're gonna eat it right here and now? Well, I mean... Sure, it's all right...
...
You wanna know why I'm staring? Oh, I was just thinking how much you look like a regular kid with your cheeks stuffed with cake...
I mean, should you even be eating that right before the party? You won't have room to eat anything else!
Forgot about the party, huh?
Ha-ha! You can be a real airhead sometimes, Captain!

Okay, the decorations are all complete. Now we just wait for the party.
Hm? You're surprised I spent my time helping you set everything up?
I might not look it, but I look forward to your invite every year.
I really like the friendly vibes everyone gives off in this crew, and we all just get along so well.
You know how disagreeing factions sometimes take root within a single organization? Take the Society, for example.
But there's none of that here, which makes my time with the crew all that much more enjoyable.
Ah, it's so relaxing just being here.

Mmf! Capfen! Mappy Mfolifays!
Gulp! Haha, sorry. Shouldn't talk with my mouth full.
The Grandcypher has the best mess around. Your galleys are better stocked and better staffed than the imperial kitchens, I swear. I get kinda carried away whenever I eat with you guys.
So, did you decide what you want for your gift? I at least wanna give you something as thanks for all the food.
No requests, huh? Hm... In that case...
I know. Do you have a formal outfit? Something dressy for special occasions?

Zeta and Vaseraga (Halloween)

Vaseraga: ...
Zeta: Vaseraga? What are you doing out here? Party's not over yet.
Vaseraga: Needed a palate cleanser.
Zeta: Not getting your drift.
Vaseraga: I've grown too accustomed to companionship. I forget how fortunate I am.
Zeta: Ah, I see. So you were squirreling away some precious memories?
Vaseraga: You could say that.
Zeta: Hm. I hate to bother you when you're being a big softie, but (Captain), Lyria, and Vyrn were looking for you, you know?
Vaseraga: ...
Zeta: I don't lie. So come back inside.
Vaseraga: All right.
Zeta: Let's go. You don't need to worry so much, okay? No one's gonna disappear.
Vaseraga: All right.

Vaseraga: ...
Zeta: You see that, (Captain)? I was wondering where Vaseraga had run off to in the morning. Turns out he was here the whole time making that snowman.
Vaseraga: Zeta, (Captain). Stop hiding and come out here.
Zeta: Guh, he knows...
What put you in the mood to make a snowman anyway?
Vaseraga: I had a thought. Zeta, give me a hand.
Zeta: Need help? Sure...
What do you need me to—Huh?
Gwuh!
Whoa!
A pitfall? Don't tell me you woke up early just to play this prank on me!
Vaseraga: To be fair, that's not all. The children in the crew asked me to make this snowman.
Zeta: Aw, what a big softie. So what are you gonna do with it?
Vaseraga: It seems the right size for covering this pitfall.
Zeta: Urgh!
Vaseraga: Only kidding.
Zeta: Not funny, Vaseraga!

Zeta: So, (Captain), about the strange voice people've been hearing around here...
Vaseraga: Haaah!
Zeta: What... are you doing, Vaseraga?
Vaseraga: As you can see, I'm cutting down a fir tree. Apparently they need this for decorating.
Zeta: This huge one? Wait a sec, this is way too big.
Vaseraga: They told me a bigger one would look "snazzier."
Zeta: Ahahaha! I can't believe you used the word "snazzy."
Vaseraga: You're the one who said it once upon a White Day.
Hmph!
Hm, finally, it's down. Sorry to ask, but could you both help me carry this?
Zeta: Yeah, why not. Were you actually thinking of carrying this back all by yourself if we hadn't come along?
Vaseraga: Yeah. But I'm glad the two of you happened to find me by coincidence.
Zeta: It wasn't a coincidence. The children in town asked us.
Vaseraga: They asked you to help me carry the tree back?
Zeta: No. They said they heard a scary ghost in the forest screaming, so they wanted us to come check it out. And lo and behold, it was just you.
Vaseraga: ...
Zeta: Hahaha! Look, (Captain)! He's super depressed!
Vaseraga: You two are laughing too much.

Vaseraga: Zeta, I decorated my armor. What do you think?
Zeta: Uh... What are you going for here, exactly?
Vaseraga: I thought I'd become a tree.
Zeta: Pfft... Hehe. Why?
Vaseraga: I got the idea from Vyrn and Lyria. Apparently if I do this, children won't be as afraid of me.
Zeta: Ah, I gotcha. Heh... You're still hurt over what happened last year, huh?
But I dunno... I think it could use a little more pizzazz, you know?
How about it, (Captain)? You wanna help me give this bad boy some razzle-dazzle?
Vaseraga: I don't know about razzle or dazzle—Just try not to go overboard.

Vaseraga: ...
Zeta: What're you sneaking around for? If you're trying to be subtle, you're failing super hard at it.
Vaseraga: ...!
Zeta...
Didn't think I'd get caught...
Zeta: It'd be more surprising if you got away with it, considering how huge you are. Are you headed for (Captain)'s room?
Vaseraga: ...
Zeta: Trying to leave a present without anyone noticing?
Vaseraga: Forget you saw anything.
Zeta: No need to be so prickly. I wasn't going to stop you. It's just...
Vaseraga: What?
Zeta: Do you really think you can make it all the way there and leave a present without being spotted?
It's (Captain) we're talking about, after all. Even if you weren't a giant, there's not much that gets past those senses.
Vaseraga: You... make a good point.
Zeta: Sigh... Didn't think this through, did you?
I swear, you just expect to barrel your way through everything.
Vaseraga: Zeta.
Zeta: Huh? What?
Wait... No. You're not seriously making me go instead, right?
Vaseraga: The greatest gift of all is having a reliable partner.
Zeta: Hey, stop pushing me!

Happy holidays, Captain.
What kind of holiday is today, exactly? Everyone looks so happy.
It seems it's the type of day you spend with someone special. Think I understand now.
In that case I want to spend the day with you.
Because I know that you're special to me.
Huh? What is this?
There's this... strange feeling in my chest. My heart is pounding and I'm getting hot flashes. Am I... sick? No, I don't get sick.
Nothing to worry about. It'll go away soon. Come along, let's go have a happy holiday, (Captain).

This is a day we spend with people we care about. Hehe. You taught me that last year.
Like last year, I plan to spend my time with you. That won't be a problem, right?
Okay, good. That makes me happy. Very happy...
Hmm?
It's happening again... This feeling in my bosom... Just like last year...
My body... is getting hotter. But it's so cold outside...
Very well... This is strange, but not unwelcoming. I might even say this feels good.
Hehehe. What shall we do today, (Captain)?

Happy holidays, (Captain).
Living in the sky realm for so long has taught me a great many things.
For example, I know what it means to have your heart race or face to flush...
(Captain). You are irreplaceable. That's what I think of you.
To spend this time with you... makes me a very happy soul.
For the happiness you give me, thank you, (Captain).

Happy holidays, (Captain).
I'm glad I'm here to celebrate this day with you again.
Oh, that's right. Are you cold, (Captain)?
It seemed to me that people in town were sticking a lot closer together than usual.
I wonder if they were all trying to keep their loved ones warm.
Oh, that is what they were doing? Well then, shall I nestle in by your side to keep my most important person warm?
Haha, no need to be shy. You can hold me closer.
Your presence warms me from the inside out.
So I think I'll be able to keep you cozy. Come on, let's give it a try.

(Captain), happy holidays.
After seeing the streets so alive, I've been looking forward to saying this to you.
This feeling is something I never thought I'd experience.
And now, when I'm by myself, I feel as if it's a little... chilly.
What about you, (Captain)? Are you feeling cold?
Haha, I see. I guess mortals are more susceptible to the cold. Then we should move closer together, just like last year.
Actually, I learned a new way of getting even closer to someone from watching people in town. Can I try it out?
You join hands like this. How's that? The people seemed very happy and warm doing this.
Your face says it all... Yes, I feel very warm too.

Caim (Post-Replicard)

Caim: Santa Claus, huh...
Oh, I was just thinking about what a horribly inefficient custom this is.
Grown-ups should just hand over their presents to children directly instead of beating around the bush.
Going out of their way to make up this lie about Santa Claus doesn't make a shred of sense.
Foolish mortals and their tendency to overcomplicate things.
The Hanged Man: Sigh... Where's your sense of romanticism?
Look, even (Captain) is taken aback.
Caim: D-don't mind me, (Captain)...
I wasn't referring to you in particular.

Canna (NPC)

Heya, (Captain), did you ask Santa for anything?
Me? I wished that everyone could do the things they always dreamed of doing.
Wouldn't life be so much easier that way? As long as it's nothing bad of course!

Aren't the city lights just beautiful?
Watching everyone decorate their homes and run around buying gifts for their loved ones just makes me feel all giddy inside.
That's why I have to do what I can to make sure the ichnia walk away from our performances in good spirits!
Just watch, (Captain)! I'll make sure our next performance is better than the last!

Season's greetings, (Captain)! So glad to see you could make it!
Aren't you excited to see what kind of presents we'll get this year?
Hm? You're curious as to what I want? I... want to see Santa with my own two eyes!
I mean, you've gotta hand it to him for spending the entire year in preparation for one wintry day of gift-giving.
I'd love to ask how he got started and what it is that keeps him going.
If you happen to come across Santa, be sure to introduce me!

Happy holidays! It's that special day again!
The day when we all try our best to put a smile on people's faces!
I wonder what I should do...
It's not easy pleasing others if you don't know what they like first... Guess that means I'll just have to double up my efforts!
Hm, my present for you, (Captain)?
Hm, I'd definitely say I know you pretty well, but...
Hm...
Hmm...
Hmmm...
I know—a hug!
There!
Surprised?
I couldn't think of anything better on the spot! Ahahaha!

Happy holidays, (Captain)! Hey, can I hold your hand?
This is my present to you! Along with a little prayer... Squeeeeze!
Since I know you so well, I thought I'd be able to think of a gift idea right away...
But nothing came to mind last year, so I ended up giving you a hug on the spot. So this time I did a lot of thinking.
I thought about how you're cool, strong, and reliable! And this is what I came up with...
When Canna lets go, (Captain) is left holding a small cloth pouch.
It's a charm! Packed full of my blessings!
It will help you keep up the good work so you can come back to the island again!
Huh? You want a hug this year too? Okay, it can be the finishing touch!
Ahahaha! Here I come!

Diantha (NPC)

Happy holidays!
We change the decorations for performances this time of the year.
Oh! That's right! We put a fluffy, white beard on Xolotl.
Want to help us with the decorations?

Oh, Captain! You came this year too!
It makes me so happy to know you like our performances!
There's so much I want to talk about, but I'm a bit busy now...
Since I have to decorate the altar, how about we do it together?

Teehee. Welcome back, (Captain). I'm so glad you could make it to our holiday concert.
I look forward to this event every year because we have the new year's performance only days after this one.
Why is it like that, you ask? Well... That's just the way things are.
Will you come watch us again for New Year's?
You will? Haha, that's a promise.

Ah... (Captain), welcome back.
Haha, I've been really looking forward to this party ever since I heard you'd be attending.
All of us prepared the feast together this year! I was in charge of the cake.
The other maidens and the head priestess can't wait to see you too!
I don't think they can bear the wait much longer, so you should go say hello!
Haha, c'mon!

Ah! (Captain), welcome back!
Sorry about all the hustle and bustle.
Can you wait for us a bit?
We were preparing for the party and ran out of time, so...
You want to help? N-no!
I couldn't possibly have an important guest like you helping out.
Why don't you chat with me until things settle down?
Hm? Don't I need to help out, you ask?
Haha, it's fine. The head priestess gave me special permission.
To keep you company until preparations are over, that is.
Because once the party gets into full swing, we might not be able to talk alone...
Given the occasion, I wanted some one-on-one time with you, even if just for a bit.
Haha, so I took the chance to act a little spoiled and here we are.

Diola (NPC)

Happy holidays.
We'll be holding a special holiday performance tonight!
You'll get to see us in really festive outfits!
It's the first time we've ever done anything like this, but I think Xolotl and the ichnia will be pleased.
I can already hear the cheers when they lay eyes on our outfits.

I wonder how we should decorate Xolotl this year.
He seems to like white whiskers, so maybe we should try white brows too.
How about you, (Captain)? Care to try on these white whiskers and brows?

Don't you think Xolotl and Santa are kind of alike?
It's everyone's belief in them that gives them such great power.
Come to think of it, you sort of fall under that too, (Captain).
It's not just us maidens. Everyone in the crew believes in you wholeheartedly.
I'm included somewhere in there, of course.

I love the festive vibes tonight.
It feels so much more sparkly than other nights.
Maybe it's because everyone believes in the magic of this holiday occasion.
Just like how the ichnia believe in us maidens.

Nom, nom... The holidays are nice, aren't they? It's just feast after feast. I always get so excited.
Seems like Xolotl doesn't get what all the fuss is about though.
But there's something about the holiday season that makes you hopeful, you know? It's very inspiring.
And, around this time of year, I hear so many prayers.
(Captain), is there anything you wish for?
Nom, nom... Stare...
I've heard your prayers. Be nice if they came true.

Drang (NPC)

Hey, hey! 'Tis the season to be jolly!
How's the tree? How's the ornaments? Got the stockings ready?
Oh! Hope you have a nice big turkey in the works too!
Hm? Well how can I not be excited! Today only comes around once a year y'know!
I already have your present all wrapped up! Here you go! Don't open it till tomorrow!

Fa la la la la! La la la la!
Hm? What's that?
You wanna know what I'm up to? Are you curious? Super curious?
Oh shucks! I guess since you asked, (Captain), I'll tell you then!
Well, you know what time of year it is! I thought I'd dress up as Santa and pass out some presents!
And now that you're in the know, you can be my little helper, (Captain)!
Now then! Let's make it rain with gifts! We're the stars of the show for tonight!

Heya, (Captain)! Been waiting forever for you!
C'mon, let's be Santas together this year! Just imagine the smiles on the childrens' faces! What do ya say?
Sturm? You know she'd never agree to do that! Believe me, I ask her every year.
A pity really too! I just know she'll look great in a Santa outfit.
But you won't let me down, will ya? I can count on you, can't I? Right?
Yes! That's the spirit!

(Captain)! Happy holidays!
It seems like it's that time of the year again for us to get to work.
We're going to dress up and pass out presents!
Hm? You're willing? That's perfect!
Wait... What is that brown clothing?
A reindeer? Me?
Hold on! I'm glad you took the time to get this costume for me...
But I wanted to be Santa!
Just kidding...
Ahaha...

Oh, (Captain)! Take a look at this!
I tried putting the sphere I use on my nose. Isn't it cute?
Well, you know how you suggested I dress up as a reindeer last year?
I thought about it and realized that it actually kind of suits me. I mean, we both do things without being recognized for it.
Reindeer have shiny noses, right? So I tried putting this sphere on my nose and I ended up really liking it.
Huh? You're going to get on the sleigh with all the presents and I'm supposed to pull it as the reindeer? Ah, yes, I guess that is what reindeers do...
Oh, Sturm!
Hey, Sturm, you want to be a reindeer with me? I'm sure this reindeer costume will look great on you—
Ouch!

Goblin Mage (NPC)

Why is everyone so excited? Huh? Yul.. tide?
Hrm... Yol... tide
Yuletide! Hey, I said it! Now I know why everyone's getting excited!

Hmmm... I wanna ask you something, (Captain). I found a funny box by my bed, see!
Hm...
San... ta. Cla... us?
Santa... Claus?
It's from Santa Claus! Heheheh! I can read it! Thanks, Santa!

(Captain)! Guess what I saw! There was a reindeer right over there!
Hm? Reindeer don't live in towns? But I saw it! I really saw it!
It had horns and a bright red nose... And it told me it flies through the air all the time!
Let's see... Its name was Lam... Or Lamret... Lam-something...
I'm not lying! Come see it with me! It's probably still asleep on the ground in front of the tavern!

(Captain), I want you to help me! Tell me how to meet Santa!
I wanna see him and say thanks for the presents!
You mean he's too busy to meet people?
Yeah, I guess he's delivering presents for the whole world...
But I wanna see him... I wanna tell him how grateful I am in person...
You think I should write a letter?
(Captain), that's a great idea! I'll go write one right away!

(Captain)! Lookie!
Last year I wrote Santa a letter! And this year he replied!
It says since I was such a good girl this year, he'll give me new sparkly stuff!
Today I'm going to wait for Santa and thank him when he gets here!
Hm? If I don't fall asleep he won't come? I won't get my present?
Oh no... I want to say thanks to him, but I want a shiny present...
I know! I'll go to bed and pretend to sleep!
Yay! I know this'll work!

Looks like you folk go all out for the holidays.
I heard that the buffet would be somewhere around here...
Oh, Lina, Lyria, you two are already here!
Hey! Leave some for me!

Haaselia (Post-Replicard)

Ah, (Captain). What're you doing loitering around here? The party's that way.
Huh? You came to see me? You're a strange one.
I... remembered some things from the past and wanted some time alone.
Lively occasions make me think about the children, you see...
Ahh, I shouldn't let myself get too down. I can't help but get emotional on chilly days like this.
You should hurry and get back to the party. The others might get jealous if you spend too much time with me.
After all, there are a lot of people who care about you—many more than you think.

Npc m 3990392000 01.jpg
Harie (NPC)

Thanks for the help, ichnia! But can you move those altar decorations a bit to the right?
Ah, hello, (Captain).
Linaria wanted to really pretty up the altar, so we're in a bit of a rush to get it done before the holidays.

We've decided to do something special for the holiday performances from now on.
Such as putting a mustache on Xolotl, giving him a hat, and...
Come to think of it, the Xolotl statue is, in a way, part of the audience too.
That's why we try to arrange things in a way that'll let Xolot'll enjoy our song and dance too.
We really should have done this sooner though. We'll just have to make it up to Xolotl.

How does everything look to you with the holiday decorations, (Captain)?
To me, the sights and sounds I've grown so accustomed to all seem different.
We always try to consider things from the audience's point of view for concerts.
So I was hoping to walk around town with you while hearing your thoughts on the matter.
What do you say, (Captain)?

Season's greetings, (Captain). How do you like the food?
I made one of these dishes. It's the potato salad in your mouth.
Choose: No wonder it's so good!
Really? I'm so glad to hear that.
You just made my day, (Captain).
I hope we can continue... Um, I just wanted to say thank you, (Captain).

What do you think of the holiday food this year, (Captain)?
I only made one dish last year, but this year I made several. Like the roast beef and soup.
The salad and sandwiches too. Oh, and the little cakes lined up over there...
Ahaha... I guess I went a little overboard. I just couldn't forget how nice it felt when you complimented my cooking last year.
I hope you'll eat your fill. Hehe.

Npc m 3990396000 01.jpg
Head Priestess (NPC)

I've loved this season since I was a child.
The time I spent with my family, all gathered around the table is something I treasure deeply.
Those memories have stayed with me even after becoming a maiden.
But it's not just the time with my family that I value. I also value the time I spent as a maiden here.
I'm so blessed to have such amazing people in my life.

Welcome, (Captain), to an evening of excitement at tonight's holiday performance.
Oh my, was that a bit stiff? Sorry. This is the real deal, and it must be opening night jitters.
Don't be so surprised. Even a longtime head priestess still has nerves that can affect the outcome of a performance.
One method to combat nervousness is to start preparing for the after set. Cooking a well-deserved meal for everyone helps to calm you down.
Would you mind helping with that as well, (Captain)? The maidens would be very grateful.

Even on tour, holiday festivities are so important.
The ichnia have all set aside time to produce special holiday tlepilli.
I have to do all I can to see that their vision becomes a reality.
(Captain), if you don't mind, would you help me devise some ideas for a performance?
I'd like to incorporate an outside perspective to ensure that the holiday show is memorable.

What a wonderful night we're having, (Captain).
The holiday performance ended on a high note, and this after-party is going just as well.
It's so nice to finally be able to take things easy.
Look at all this food I brought back to my seat...
Why don't you get to feasting yourself, (Captain)? I made a lot of today's food myself.
Might as well enjoy the festivities while you're here.
And know that the maidens and the rest of us on the island are happy to see you here every year.

Phew... Once again, our holiday performance this year finished without a hitch.
I'm starting to get used to spending my holy nights with you, (Captain).
These nights will surely become fond memories one day, when I've retired from my role as head priestess...
Oh, forgive me. I didn't mean to grow melancholic on you. We should be celebrating, shouldn't we?
Hehe, don't worry. With all the things I still wish to do as head priestess, I won't be retiring anytime soon.
I hope you'll join me again next year as well. I'll keep my schedule open for you.

Npc m 3990353000 01.jpg
Imperial General Adam (NPC)

Is it the holy night?
Yes, of course I know a thing or two about this event.
And if only knowledge were enough...
But I've never experienced it with my own eyes. I wouldn't know what to do.
(Captain), you seem to be quite accustomed to this night.
Would you be my instructor in all that my knowledge alone cannot help me understand?

Experience outweighs knowledge. That is the lesson I took away from last year's holy night festivities.
I am a servant to the Erste Kingdom and consequently to the people of Erste.
However, knowledge alone isn't enough to understand people. How can I serve those I cannot understand?
Thus the best way to perform my inherited duty is to accumulate a wealth of various experiences.
Moreover, you would be doing me a great service by sharing with me your expertise in the customs of this holiday season.

(Captain), happy holidays.
Was that the correct greeting for this holy night?
Thank goodness. I spent some time properly studying the customs of the holiday this year.
Expanding the breadth of my knowledge can only prove to be a boon, after all.
However, there was something I did not quite understand in my studies. Who is this Santa Claus that people celebrate?
It seems absurd to me that an elderly man could ride a sled through the sky and manage to deliver presents all in one evening...
Perhaps you could spend tonight aiding me in my research. Would you mind?

Happy holidays, (Captain).
Do I sound natural saying it now?
Actually, we have more urgent matters to discuss. Do you remember how I expressed an interest in Santa Claus last year?
Well, I spent all night searching for him and didn't get so much as a glimpse.
I won't make the same mistake again. Pursuit is futile. This time, I'd rather wait for him to come to me.
To that end, I mean to stand watch by your pillow tonight.
You needn't pay me any mind. Just sleep as you normally do.
I am man-made, after all. If anything, think of me as a large piece of interior design.

Happy holidays, (Captain).
I hope you won't mind if I skip pleasantries—I'm eager to talk about how we can meet Santa this year.
As you may know, last year was a failure. After you had fallen asleep, I stayed at your bedside, keeping watch.
Around midnight, I was distracted by a knock at the door. When I returned to my vigil, there was already a wrapped present by your pillow.
It all happened in an instant. Santa Claus is truly a being of unfathomable power.
That's why I'd like to try a different tact this year. If we can't sneak a peek at Santa, maybe we can receive one.
I'll write to Santa, and as my gift, I'll ask him to teach me the secret of his efficiency.
It's something I've always wanted to know—to help me become a better golem.
And if he chooses to grant my wish, then at last, we shall catch a glimpse of this mysterious being...

Lecia (NPC)

There's something so romantic about a snow-filled sky.
I hope I can enjoy it with someone special someday...

Do you remember what we did on this same night, one year ago?
I told you I wanted to look out at the snowy sky with someone special.
To tell you the truth, I... I think that may be within reach...
After all, I'm here with you, (Captain).
And with so many precious friends here with me, spending tonight with someone special might not just be a fantasy after all.

Ah, (Captain), there you are.
The holiday party was fun, wasn't it? Everyone really let their hair down.
It's late, we better be heading back. The streets have gotten pretty quiet.
Hehe. I'm glad I could spend the holidays with you this year as well.
I can't tell you how happy I am right now.

Phew... This ought to be far enough from the party...
Sorry to drag you away from the festivities, (Captain).
I won't keep you too long, or else everyone'll worry.
I just wanted to borrow you to look at the stars with me for a little while. If possible, I'd like to do this together every year...
I feel like the more time I spend with you, the greedier I get.
But I find myself wondering... if that's such a bad thing. Weird, huh?

Oh, (Captain)! I wanted to compliment you on the party. Everyone seems to be enjoying⁠—
U-um, is something the matter? You surprised me, taking hold of my arm like that. Is there somewhere you wanted to go?
Choose: Let's go stargazing.
That was unexpected... I didn't think you'd just spirit me away like this.
Still, I'm happy you remembered... That I said I wanted to go stargazing with you every year.
Oh, no wonder it was so cold. It's started to snow. Look—it's so pretty, how the flakes shine against the night sky...
Hehe. Looks like we've made yet another wonderful memory together.

Leona (NPC)

Oof!
I'm so sorry, (Captain)! I didn't hurt you, did I?
Sigh... I'm always telling people not to run in the hallways and then I go and ignore my own warnings.
Sorry I was in such a hurry, but preparations for the military's winter holiday are underway.
By the way, do you have time later, (Captain)?
I finally have the chance to show you around Luxurios while it's geared up for the holidays.
And maybe you could kind of help me with a little bit of shopping... Or not...
Huh? You will?
Great! Thank you! Why don't we go right now? Come on, follow me!

Haha... Everyone's really in the spirit...
(Captain), are you enjoying the festivities as well?
What's this, you ask? I thought I would sneak into Cain's room and place it next to his pillow.
Haha... Even though he always asks me to stop treating him like a child.
Actually... I have one for you too, (Captain)!
You can't open it yet. You'll have to wait until tomorrow morning.
Hehe. I'll sneak the present into your room a bit later.

...
Eek!
Oh, it's you, (Captain)... What a surprise...
Sorry, I must've startled you just as well.
I just got back from putting a present by Cain's bedside.
And was actually just about to go to your room...
Ahaha... But you caught me before I could do that.
I guess I'll just have to give it to you in person this year! Here it is! Happy holidays!

???: Hehe, this should this put a smile on the captain's face. Here's hoping...
Leona: Huh? Ah, (Captain)!
Sorry to surprise you like this. It's me, Leona.
I thought I'd leave a holiday present by your bedside...
I didn't mean to wake you. I'm so sorry.
H-hey, can you just pretend this is all just a dream! Yeah, you didn't see me here at all!
You can go back to sleep. I'll be on my way now...
Oh, just one more thing!
Happy holidays. And have a wonderful dream... Teehee.

Sigh... I can't sleep. Guess I'll go out for a walk.
Huh? (Captain)? What are you doing up so late?
You're delivering presents? Don't tell me you were about to deliver mine, thinking I was asleep.
That's very kind of you, (Captain). Not everyone does this year in and year out.
Sorry for spoiling the surprise. I just wasn't feeling sleepy tonight.
Say, do you have some time right now?
Recently I bought this tea that makes you sleepy. I was wondering if you'd like to try it with me.
You would? Thanks! Okay, come on in and sit tight. I'll have it boiling in no time.

Linaria (NPC)

Teehee, the decoration and outfits for today's performance will all be one-of-a-kind!
They're so cute; you're going to love them, (Captain)!

Is there anyway we can make more of those ornaments on the altar? But then again I guess there's no one around to make them, huh.
Hey, (Captain). I'm thinking of making our holiday performance even better than last year's!
After all, if Xolotl and the ichnia don't have a good time, there's no point in doing the performance to begin with.
When everyone sees me on stage and tells me how cute I am, it'll all be worth it.
That's why I need ample preparation and practice to really wow the crowd and make them all fall for me!
You'll be there to cheer me on too, right, (Captain)?
Teehee! I'm going all in!

Found you, (Captain)! You came to see our winter concert?
I can't wait to get onstage. I'm cuter than ever with my new outfit.
I want you to get a real good look at me in it. Teehee...
...
It's just too bad I won't be able to perform with Diantha this year...
Oh, can't worry about that now! Focus, Linaria—focus! I'm going to go all-out, so make sure you get a good view, (Captain).

Happy holidays, (Captain)!
Teehee... Diantha's not able to perform with us on stage in her maiden outfit anymore, but...
She said she'll put on a special performance just to compete with me tonight!
With you cheering for me, (Captain), I'm almost sure to come out on top!
Haha... I'm gonna wow your socks off tonight with a performance so good, you're gonna be asking for more!

Hey, (Captain), what's my present this year?
I went all-out in our concert today, so I'm expecting a lot of great stuff!
What? You're going to take me on a shopping trip?
Aiiee! I knew you wouldn't let me down, (Captain)!
But you might be spoiling me a little much. Are you sure it's okay?
Teehee... Then I'm happy to let you spoil me! You're my biggest fan and my Santa too, (Captain)!

Lyria (NPC)

Happy holidays!
Wow, the tree is so shiny! It's beautiful!

Say... do you think I've been really good this whole year?
I wonder if Santa will come by and visit us again...
Ooh... I'm so anxious tonight, I don't think I'll get a wink of sleep!

(Captain), happy holidays!
I wonder if it will snow. I would love that so much.
Oh, but wait! If it snowed, then Santa would have such a tough time...
Hmm... I know!
How about we prepare something that will warm Santa up?

This needs... pepper, salt, and butter... and then...
Gasp! (Captain)! Are you here to buy some things too?
Actually, I'm out collecting the things we need to prepare the meal for tonight!
I'd like to try my hand at a full-course meal...
It's almost like preparing a small little festival for everyone to enjoy. I'm very excited.
Since it's so cold out, I'm thinking of making something very warm for Santa Claus!
I'll put my everything into making the best meal I can! You just sit back and enjoy, (Captain)!

Chicky with an empty belly... I'll stuff it full of yummy veggies...
While (Captain) mans the fryer, Lyria happily works on stuffing a chicken.
Ehehe... Sorry, (Captain). Cooking with you is so fun I started singing absentmindedly.
All that's left now is to put the chicken in the oven! How are your fries doing?
(Captain) lifts the basket out of the oil to see that the fries are a perfect golden brown. But the captain tries one just to make sure.
Hey, no fair! I want to help taste-test too! Here, pop one in my mouth, okay? Ahh...
I haven't washed my hands after touching the chicken, so I can't take one myself! Come on, stop teasing me!
Munch, munch... Hehe, they're delicious right out of the fryer. You're a frying genius!

Monika (NPC)

Happy holidays!
Tomorrow's the big night, so you had better rest up.

Sigh, what did I get myself into...
Hm? Oh, it's you. My crew has made a rather... unusual bet.
They're wagering whether or not Santa will come to visit me tonight.
Good grief... How old do they think I am, anyway?

Munch, munch...
Hngh! Gulp.
Oh my, who do we have here? I wasn't expecting to run into you.
What business do you have in the kitchen? I'm just making sure none of my fellows are breaking any rules on this holiday...
...
No, I should come clean with you. I don't want to tell you a bad lie.
To have my snack-raiding be exposed by you would be...
You won't say anything about this, right? It'll be our little secret. Hehe.
Well, then! It's time for me to make my patrols like I said I was.
What about you? I think the town's too lively tonight for someone to walk it alone.

Holiday pudding?
Or a buche de fete?
Well, I suppose the holidays aren't really the time to be worrying about overeating.
Excuse me, shopkeeper? I'll have one of each.
Oh. Hello, (Captain). Fancy running into you at this patisserie.
I was just selecting a gift for the rest of the crew on the Grandcypher.
I've already finished with my patrol. And it's the holidays, after all.
Hehehe. Let's celebrate with a fancy meal and some delicious sweets!

You're looking for cake shop recommendations?
Well, you're certainly asking the right person. Even so, the answer isn't as clear-cut as you might think.
There are a plethora of cake varieties, each with their own individuality.
I could take you to the shop that whips up an out-of-this-world cream that everyone agrees is delicious...
Or there's another shop that specializes in fruit-based cakes...
Ergh, but how can you say no to a good tart, or a brownie, or a cheesecake? Hmm...
Okay! It's time to take action instead of wallowing in indecision. Are you free right now?
I suggest we visit every shop on my recommendation list and sample their offerings.

Orchis (NPC)

What's a... Santa? An old guy who rides... flying reindeer?
Why does he do that?
Good boys and girls? Presents?
...
I'm going to go help Apollo.

Waiting and waiting...
But he's not here yet.
I got a present from Santa last year, so I wanted to thank him...
Santa only comes... at night while you're asleep?
...
Then good night, (Captain)...

There. All ready.
Ah, (Captain).
I wanted to thank Santa last year. But I fell asleep.
So this year I wrote a letter.
Do you think he'll read it?
I sure hope he does...

Om nom nom...
Ah... (Captain)...
You... You have it all wrong. I'm not sneaking snacks. Honest.
I made these cookies myself. Lyria and Io taught me how.
This letter... It's from Santa. He answered my letter last year.
It made me so happy... That's why I decided to give him a present this year.
I heard he likes cookies and milk... So I really gave it my all.
I'm... very happy with the results. Do you want to try one, (Captain)?
Say "ahh."

Roll, roll... Squish, squish...
Oh... (Captain). I was just kneading some clay. I'm going to sculpt an ornament for the tree.
Last year, Santa thanked me for my cookies. He sent me a letter with a drawing of our faces.
So this year, I'm going to make everyone out of clay. Then I'll hang them on the tree...
Me, (Captain), Lyria, Vyrn, and Apollo... all together.
Do you want to make one? You can make half of Apollo.
I'll make her face, and you make her armor, (Captain). I was having trouble with that part, so I could use the help.

Pholia (NPC)

Pholia: On your travels... Have you ever made acquaintance with Santa Claus?
As the sovereign of this land, I wish to create the best winter festival possible. Only, I find it exceedingly difficult to track that man down.
You are saying you don't know how to contact him? Then I suppose there is no other choice...
It is during times like these that I must go out and deliver happiness to the children of this land myself!
Bai Ze! Prepare the sleigh!
Bai Ze: The sleigh has already been prepared... But I won't pull it.
Pholia: Don't be ridiculous! (Captain), of course you'll be coming too! I hope you feel the winter spirit!

Pholia: It's all because of Old Man Santa Claus that the children's faces are lit with bright smiles.
I'd like to commend him for his work, though speaking to him directly is out of my control...
Eureka! I just came up with a cunning stratagem!
I'll fall asleep with a stocking in my hand and leverage what a good little girl I've been! I believe that's called a honey trap!
Bai Ze: However, in the time since we first met, I've never seen you receive a gift from him.
I assume Santa Claus is already aware of your adulthood.
Pholia: Hm, that's definitely a possibility...
(Captain)! I shall have you take my place! Do not worry; I will prepare a room for us.
We'll all lie in wait for the old man to come down the chimney!

Season's greetings! You come at an opportune time, (Captain)!
Do you remember how we missed our chance to meet Santa Claus last year?
I have a new honey trap in mind this time.
I call it Operation Body Warmer.
It can't be easy soaring through the freezing winter skies with his aging body... But one look at our warm and cozy party grounds should entice him...
The moment we've drawn his attention, we'll have to surround and corner him. That'll be our chance to invite Santa and finally reap the rewards of our efforts.
Get the other crew members here pronto, (Captain)!
We'll have to make the party so grand that Santa can't help but take notice!
C'mon! The more clamorous fellows like Cain we can gather, the better!

Pholia: Feast your eyes, (Captain)! Bai Ze and I have prepared the ultimate holiday tree for this year!
Towering over its surroundings as a massive cone which pierces the sky!
Bai Ze: She insisted on using it for this year's attempt at capturing Santa Claus's attention.
Though decorating an object ten times the size of the sovereign will prove to be troublesome.
Pholia: Troublesome? A tree of this caliber should prove to be no issue for you, my dear friend.
Quickly now, (Captain). Take a seat on Bai Ze with me. We shall hang ornaments from every branch!

Bai Ze: Compose yourself, my sovereign. I am sure Santa Claus is aware of your sentiments.
Pholia: Even so, I feel dispirited...
Well, well, if it isn't (Captain). Yes, you are in fact staring at a dejected woman. There's nothing unusual about that; I have feelings, you know.
Sigh... Forgive me, Bai Ze. I had my face buried in your back, and your fur is all wet now.
Bai Ze: She's been moping ever since she got it into her head that she won't get to meet Santa Claus this year.
I wish for my sovereign to enjoy the night before the holy night, but at this rate—
Hm? Something just fell from the sky. Is it a greeting card?
Pholia: Wait a minute! Isn't this from Santa? He could be flying above us as we speak!
Bai Ze, we shall give chase immediately! He must hear my words of appreciation straight from my mouth!
Bai Ze: As you wish. Please take a seat upon my back as well, (Captain). We shall greet him together!

Pholia, Sovereign of Idelva (NPC)

Pholia: On your travels... Have you ever made acquaintance with Santa Claus?
As the sovereign of this land, I wish to create the best winter festival possible. Only, I find it exceedingly difficult to track that man down.
You are saying you don't know how to contact him? Then I suppose there is no other choice...
It is during times like these that I must go out and deliver happiness to the children of this land myself!
Bai Ze! Prepare the sleigh!
Bai Ze: The sleigh has already been prepared... But I won't pull it.
Pholia: Don't be ridiculous! (Captain), of course you'll be coming too! I hope you feel the winter spirit!

Pholia: It's all because of Old Man Santa Claus that the children's faces are lit with bright smiles.
I'd like to commend him for his work, though speaking to him directly is out of my control...
Eureka! I just came up with a cunning stratagem!
I'll fall asleep with a stocking in my hand and leverage what a good little girl I've been! I believe that's called a honey trap!
Bai Ze: However, in the time since we first met, I've never seen you receive a gift from him.
I assume Santa Claus is already aware of your adulthood.
Pholia: Hm, that's definitely a possibility...
(Captain)! I shall have you take my place! Do not worry; I will prepare a room for us.
We'll all lie in wait for the old man to come down the chimney!

Season's greetings! You come at an opportune time, (Captain)!
Do you remember how we missed our chance to meet Santa Claus last year?
I have a new honey trap in mind this time.
I call it Operation Body Warmer.
It can't be easy soaring through the freezing winter skies with his aging body... But one look at our warm and cozy party grounds should entice him...
The moment we've drawn his attention, we'll have to surround and corner him. That'll be our chance to invite Santa and finally reap the rewards of our efforts.

Pommern (NPC)

An occasion for merriment, I do say!
Do try to enjoy the the festivities!

Tonight is the night good little boys and girls receive their presents from Santa.
Sadly, however, children these days think of nothing but presents.
Rather than spending all your time at parties, now is the time to reflect on this past year and ask yourself if you've been naughty or nice!

Another winter, another year. You feel like time flies, do you? Ohh, youth. You don't know the half of it.
When you hit a certain age, the years come at you faster and faster. One day you're in the prime of your life, and the next you're my age...
You'd best look back on the year...
And see if you've been naughty or nice!

Seeing the streets with festive decorations makes the end of the year feel all the more real, doesn't it?
Just because it's that time of the year again, doesn't mean we are all in high spirits!
Even so! I have made the preparations to give my wife a present.
There will be cake as well! So I will be leaving early today!

Attention! Confirm the number of presents! Once preparations are complete, we shall sally forth!
Ah, seasons greetings. As much as it pains me to say, I must let you know I do not have time for you today.
I am concocting a most vital strategy, you see... Right now, the imperial army inspires little more than fear, and that simply will not do!
Why, if the people are overly scared of the army, they will not ask for our protection, no matter how great their peril!
So I've planned a gift-giving campaign, in hopes it will soften our image, even if just a little. It is of the utmost importance!
Now, let us make short work of this! After we've carried out the mission, I must hurry home to my wife!

Queen Orchis, Erste Kingdom (NPC)

Why hello, (Captain).
Look at all this snow. The town is pure white!
It's as if the town was painted with purity. Oh the memories...
When I was a child, Mephorash once had snow like this...
Apollo and I would run around and play.
Whether it's snow or a party, all that matters is that the children enjoy this night.
(Captain), I know you're a skyfarer...
But you're still a child, so enjoy yourself.
I suppose I look like a child as well...
In that case, let us enjoy this night together, (Captain)!

Happy holidays, (Captain)! Let's make our celebration even more fun than last year's.
That night you, Vyrn, and the others seemed like you were racing to eat the cake before someone swooped in and stole it.
You looked so cute with that whipped cream mustache.
Oh dear, did I embarrass you? Hehe.
Apollo used to have a real weakness for cake too... I always kept a handkerchief ready to wipe the frosting off her face.
Tonight is a special occasion, so it's all right to let your manners slip a little. I think even Adam would look the other way.
So let's just have the best night ever, (Captain)!

Good evening, (Captain). I see the holiday preparations are going smoothly. Everyone's smiling and laughing while they work.
Reminds me of past holy nights... Placing cotton on the tree to act as snow, trying to put the star on top by myself...
I remember once decorating the cake with so many strawberries that it began to cave in on itself.
Hehe... The nostalgia has me wanting to help out too.
Would you mind if I lent a hand? I know just what to do to liven things up even more!

Happy holidays, (Captain). Looks like it's going to be a lively evening.
Adam brought the decorations for the tree this year. Won't you hang them up with us?
We've got gingerbread people, tin Santa Clauses, and small glistening bells.
Aren't they adorable? Adam's been up nights studying your holiday traditions.
He was overjoyed when you asked us to help prepare for the party.
Impressed, are you? Make sure you give your compliments to Adam directly—he'll be over the moon.

Happy holidays, (Captain)! Looks like you're enjoying yourself.
So, at tonight's banquet, there's going to be a near endless supply of food and cake. Make sure you eat your fill, okay?
Me? Oh, I eat like a bird.
Honestly. I'm happy just watching you young people feast without a care in the world.
What? I... I guess I am still young... Should I pig out?
Mm... No. I'm a light eater, really.
Not to mention, if Adam caught me stuffing my face, I'd never hear the end of it. So you're just gonna have to eat enough for two!
Hehe. See you at the party!

Siegfried (NPC)

Happy holidays. Santa's on his way, but have you been good this year?
I see... You're not a kid anymore, eh?

Even I could stand to relax every once in a while, right?
This time of year always reminds me that I'm not a child anymore.
Anyway, I'm off to deliver presents now.
There's no need to worry. I'll wear the red suit instead of my usual armor.
You've been good this year, (Captain). Perhaps there'll be a present waiting for you as well.

Happy holidays! Good to hear you sounding so cheery, (Captain)!
On the way here, a group of children I'd given presents to last year ran up to me. It's clear they've got their hopes up for this year.
But giving a child a gift with their promise that they'll be good for a whole year is a flimsy bet when it comes down to it.
But their bright smiling eyes looking up at me as they asked about their presents was proof enough. They'd honestly kept their promise all year long.
Now then, I think it's time for St. Nick and his reindeer to make an appearance and drop off these gifts!
But don't fret... I was sure to get a gift for you too, (Captain)!
Everyone knows that you've been good this year, (Captain). You deserve a present!

Happy holidays, (Captain)!
You want to know what this big bag is for? I'm going to go pass out presents to the children.
Last year, I promised the kids if they were good, I'd visit. I can't let them down.
Heh heh... I like the ring of Siegfried Santa anyways.
Hm? You'll help me pass out the presents?
That'd be much appreciated.
It's not like these are heavy or anything, but some of the stuff just won't fit in my one bag.
You'll get a present too once we pass all these out.
Come on, (Captain). Let's go.

When I went to give the children their presents as usual, they gave me an invitation to a party.
On the back of it, there's even a drawing of me looking like quite the hero. I'm honored.
I'm very touched that someone like me would receive such a heartfelt invitation—I never thought that day would come.
On the invitation, it says that I'm welcome to bring a friend to the party. Would you like to come, (Captain)?
All right, then change into this costume.
It's time for St. Nick and his reindeer to give the children a nice surprise!

Sierokarte (NPC)

Tis the season!
Would you like to try some of my special Knickknack cake?

Looks like it's that time of year again!
Considering all the shopping going on, I can't let my guard down.
But it is nice to spend some quality time with you and the crew.
Let's turn this holiday into a qualiday! Hehehe...

Happy holidays, everyone!
Whether you're planning an extravagant party or looking for the perfect present for that special someone, just leave it to Santakarte.
I'll even deliver it without them ever realizing—just like the real Santa.
I'll slide them a sleighful of presents! Hehehe.

Happy holidays!
The Knicknack Shack is doing a brisk trade this holiday season! I'm extremely grateful for that!
Presents for your pals? Decorations for your digs? Food for your festivites? The Knicknack Shack has got your back, Jack!
Oh, but I don't think the holidays are just a way to make a quick buck!
This time of year, the quick bucks should all be pulling Santa's sleigh!
Teeheeheehee...

Exsqueeze me! Coming through!
Oh, is that you, (Captain)? Happy holidays!
Thanks to you, the Knickknack Shack is doing great business during this festive season!
Especially our cake orders! They've been selling like they're going out of fashion.
You might say I've had my cake and eaten it too! Hehehe.
Oh, whoops! Forgot I was in a hurry! See you later. Have a merry holiday!

Sturm (NPC)

Humph. Everyone's all excited and happy about the holidays.
Drang got especially carried away. I'll teach him to know better...
Anyway, here you go. What? What's with the face?
It's a present. It's the holidays after all. I put a lot of thought into it, so you better like it.

Hm? What's with all the fidgeting?
A present? What about it? Yeah, I have one for you this year too.
Humph, you seem surprised. Well, I know it might seem out of character, but that's just how I was raised.
My family would always make sure we got the entire family together to celebrate something.
So I can't sit still till I've gotten someone's present ready.

...
What?
Humph. If you're hoping for something, you're setting yourself up for disappointment.
Wha! Don't make that face! I-I was only joking...
Look! See? Of course I have a present for you.
Sigh... Should have known never to take Drang's advice on humor.

Oh, (Captain)... How many times have I spent this night with you?
Rest assured. I have a present for you...
Huh? What is this?
A present for me?
'"`UNIQ--nowiki-00000003-QINU`"'
Don't get all emotional on me!
But... Thank you...

All right, we're going to exchange goods. First, we'll both put our goods onto the table at the count of three.
Three, two, one... Go.
Don't touch any of the goods I put out yet. If you make any kind of suspicious movement, you're dead.
Now, at the count of three again, we'll take each other's goods at the same time.
Three, two, one... Go. Now we inspect the goods. If there are no issues with the goods, then the transaction is complete.
This is how transactions go in risky situations. But it should run smoothly if you go in this sequence—it's how I do it too.
Why am I doing this all of a sudden, you ask?
That's because you fool around with me every single time! Watch it before I jab you!

Vira Luminiera (NPC)

Merry Christmas.
"Holy Night." It has a nice ring to it, don't you think? I think I'll spend this special evening with Katalina.

Ah, there you are, (Captain). Perfect timing.
How about it? Care to spend this festive night with Katalina and me?
I considered spending it alone with Katalina, of course.
But then your face suddenly popped into my head.
Hee hee... I've become quite greedy, it seems.

(Captain), I... have something to ask you.
It's about my preparations for Katalina's gift this year.
It pains me to admit, but the Katalina I knew from our academy days is not the same as the Katalina here now.
As such, I think either you or Lyria would know her best.
You do have an advantage over me in that area; I realize that much.
So what do you say we put our heads together to find the best present for Katalina?

Oh, (Captain). I was just looking for you.
Would you have a moment for me?
I need you to help me pick the perfect present for my Katalina.
Once we've finished that, let's enjoy a cup of tea while we take in the beauty of our surroundings.
It is that special night... And I would like you to enjoy it.

Hello, (Captain). Thank you for making time for me this year as well.
Yes. Let's pick out a present for Katalina, then enjoy ourselves over a cup of tea again.
Hehe... That's strange. I wonder why I was looking forward so much to spending time with you.
Oh yes. This year, allow me to pick out a present for you as well.
In return for helping me choose Katalina's present... No, not quite.
The holy night is a night for giving something special, to someone who is special to you.
It may be different from how I feel about Katalina, but you are also someone very special to me, (Captain). That much is certain.

Vyrn (NPC)

Season's greetin'!
Ooh, instead of cake, let's get some apple pie! Whaddya say?

Whew... We're just about finished with the holiday decorations!
They had me flying back and forth since I was the only one who could reach high places.
But it all turned out terrific. It's fun to work together and make something like this!
Everything's ready for the feast now. So let's go there, chow down, and be sure to get a slice of that cake!

Hey, (Captain)... Do you think I'm still a kid? Or am I an adult?
I don't really want everyone treatin' me like a baby...
But if I'm already fully grown, that means I won't get any bigger than this...
Hrm... I dunno.
Well, for now I think if I'm good all year I should still get a present!

Hey, listen!
I asked the guys in the kitchen to make me an apple pie for tonight!
Haha! Asking gets ya a long way, huh. I wonder how they're gonna prepare!
Whoops. No time to be thinking about that.
For the pie to taste the best, I've gotta work my tail off on this ship decorating!
Leave all the high places to me! I'ma decorate the apples off this place!

Let's see... Where am I supposed to take this one to...
Oh, (Captain). Take a look, I'm Santa for today!
Since we've got a lot more people in the crew now including kids, I'm handing out presents to everyone!
I got asked to be Santa since my scales look so festive and red! Check out this mountain of presents. Geez, the holy night's gotta be the busiest time of the year for Santa!
Huh? Who asked me to do it?
I was kinda spacin' out, so I don't really remember. Come to think of it, who the heck prepared so many presents anyway?
Holy night sure is a mysterious night! Well, looks like I'm gonna get compensated too, so leave it to me to get the job done!
"I'm counting on you to play Santa. You will be compensated with a mountain of apples. Ho ho ho!" That's what the person said. These requests sure get wacky sometimes!
