―A story about one day just before Christmas.
Chikage Kazama: [on the phone] "―Can you hear me? It's me. How are the preparations for the plan we discussed earlier? ...Listen, little time remains before Christmas. Hurry this along as fast as humanly possible. Don't forget to charter the helicopter, either."
[hangs up the phone]
Chikage Kazama: "Alright. No problems should arise if I entrust the rest of the work to Amagiri. All that remains now is to wait for Christmas Day. I can already imagine the look of delight on my wife's face."
???: "Oops, 'scuse me."
Chikage Kazama: "Hm? You're..."
Shinpachi Nagakura: "Oh! Kazama, huh? Weird to bump into you in a place like this."

Shinpachi Nagakura: "Whaー!?"
Chikage Kazama: "I only care about presents chosen by my wife."
Shinpachi Nagakura: "......"
Chikage Kazama: "By now, she must be completely absorbed in choosing the appropriate present for me. Just wait, my betrothed! I will gift you with the best Christmas of your life, in a way that only I can!"
Shinpachi Nagakura: "This yearーor maybe this time aroundーhe’s sure got himself all fired up. Still, I wonder how many years it's been since he started hunting for a wife..."
