Happy Holidays

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.)

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!

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.

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!

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!

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?

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.

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!

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!

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!

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.

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

Santa Claus? What's that?

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.

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!

Happy holidays!
I think you and I were destined to spend this season together.

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!

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 summons 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!

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?

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)...

Aagh... I did say to keep me warm, but this is...
Aah! N-no! I-I can't... Ngh!

Ngh, (Captain). I'm not cold anymore, so give me some room, okay?

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?

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)!
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 the 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?

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!

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.

Happy holidays, (Captain). Any plans for the night?

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?

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

Sigh...
Oh! Hi, (Captain).

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...

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?

Gah... Everyone's making a racket. Something tells me I'm not getting any sleep tonight.

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!

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.

Hey, that's no way to treat demons! We're not just fun ghost stories for you to tell with your friends!

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...

(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.

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.

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!

Another happy day...
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!
(Captain), come on! I told you to stop laughing!

Another happy day...

(Captain), come on! I told you to stop laughing!

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.

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: (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!

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!

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!
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.

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: 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.

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!

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.

Happy holidays!

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?

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!

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?

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.

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?

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.

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.

You mean you've actually met Santa Claus before? Are you kidding!
That's incredible! You have to tell me everything!

Happy holidays!
The strawberries on this cake are placed off-kilter.
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.

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.

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!

Happy, happy holidays!

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'! (*^.^*)

Like, I couldn't be any happier today!

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?

'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!

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

Happy holidays!

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.

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.

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), (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!

(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.

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!

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...

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.

Danua: Happy...
Hansel: Danua wants to wish you happy holidays!
Danua: Hee hee hee... Let's play...

Danua: Cake...
Hansel: Oho. It sounds like Danua wants to eat that cake over there, (Captain).
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.

Danua: Cookies...
Hansel: Hm... Hm... Danua's happy that the cookies are ready!
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!
Danua: (Captain)...
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.
Gretel: Hey now, (Captain), no need to get so embarrassed. We all like being together, right?
Danua: Heehee!

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!

Danua: Happy...
Hansel: Danua wants to wish you happy holidays!

Hansel: You've prepared something for us as well? Why, thank you, Danua.
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: Happy...

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.

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...

Wow, the city lights are so beautiful tonight.

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!
Dorothy: 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.

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!

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!

Wait... What is that brown clothing?
A reindeer? Me?
Hold on! I'm glad you took the time to get this costume for me...

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.

Hm hmm hm hm hmmm! (Happy holidays!)
Mm hmm... Hm mmph hmph hm... (Ah, memories... I used to sing at parties...)
Mmm mmmph! Hm hmmph! (I love the buzzing holiday atmosphere, and walking in a winter wonderland!)

Hmm mmm, mmmph mm! (Happy holidays, (Captain)!)
Mm... Mmph hmm hmm. (I can't enjoy the food unfortunately, but I love the feeling in the air!)
Mmph, hm hmmm. (The feelings of my heart will surely join the happy voices in harmonious chorus!)

Mmm mmph hmmm! (Season's greetings, (Captain)!)
Mm? Hnn unnh? (Oh? Go into town? How fun! I'd love to!)
Mmmph... (Hehe, strolling the streets with (Captain)... It'll be like a winter wonderland!)

Mmm mmph! Hmmm! (Look, (Captain)! Snow!)
Mmm hmm, mmph mmm! (I can't believe it's snowing on this special night. How romantic!)
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...)
Hmm, mmph mmm! (Well, I'm just really happy.)
Mmph, mmm hmmm. (Hehe. I love when the holidays are festive, but a quiet night like this is nice in its own way.)

Mm, hmm mmph... (Ah, are you out shopping too, (Captain)?)
Mm, mmph... Hmmmph! (Yes! I am also buying supplies for tonight's party.)
Hmm... Mm mmph... (And, of course, I need to find presents for everyone.)
Mm... Hmm, hmph mm. (Oh, I would never forget you, (Captain).)
Hmmph... Mm, hm mmph. (You'll get your present at the party. Do look forward to it.)
Hmmm, mm... Hmmph. (I put a lot of thought into these gifts. I do hope everyone will like them.)

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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...

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!

Happy holidays to ya!

(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)?

Happy holidays.
...
What? Do I look like I'm having fun?
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)?

(Captain). So that's where you are.
...
No, I don't need anything in particular... I just thought I'd stay by you.
Humph. Because it's the holidays.

(Captain), happy holidays.
Aren't you cold having come all this way?
Give me your hands.
...
I don't mind this weather...
Sharing my warmth with you isn't bad at all.

Look. It's snowing.
...
Seeing snow fall always reminded me of home. And for the longest time I felt nothing.
But that's changed now.
It's all thanks to you.
Happy holidays, (Captain). Thanks for staying with me through thick and thin.

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.

Happy holidays, (Captain)!
Hehe... Katalina and I have been exchanging gifts since our days in the imperial army!
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!

Happy holidays, (Captain)!

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!

Happy holidays, (Captain)!
Hehe... Katalina and I have been exchanging gifts since our days in the imperial army!
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 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!

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!

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?

Oh, (Captain)! Today's the big day, right? That means, well, um...

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?

This takes me back. I haven't celebrated winter festivities in decades...

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)!

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!

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.

...
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!

(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!

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.

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)!

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!

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.

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!

Ohh! That's what I like to hear! Well then, ye've earned yer present!

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!

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

Bahahaha! Season's greetings, (Captain)!
