Sworn friends and the year's end - 1-2N

[Hero Club room]

Kar: Well, I think we should talk about how we're going to give out presents to the kids.

Meb: What do you mean? Can't we just dress up in Santa outfits and come to give them out?

Kar: Do you really think the kids these days would be pleased by that? Underestimate children at your own peril.

Yum: Heh heh. Mebuki-san is surprisingly ignorant. Santa comes silently at night while the children are asleep.

Yum: In other words, it would be best to come to the kindergarten during their daily nap and put the presents under the children's pillows!

Meb: But we're going to be giving out presents in the middle of the Christmas party...

Yum: Say what!?

Yum: I was not informed of this! You set me up, Mebuki-san!

Kar: No, Fuu clearly said that...

Meb: But we need an element of surprise, then. Just coming to hand out presents won't work, we need to give them a thrill...

Kar: Hmm... It'd be better to ask the others for ideas.

Kar: Someone who comes up with a lot of ideas... That'd be...

[Food court]

SON: What should we do for the upcoming club member birthdays?

Son: If we don't keep increasing the intensity they'll get bored, so it's getting harder!

Kar: ...No, better leave those two alone. Who else...

[Anzu's room]

Tam: ...So you came to Anzu for advice.

Meb: First I'd like to know why you're in Anzu's room like it's the most natural thing, Tamako...

Anz: Ahaha, that's how it always is.

Anz: Giving out presents... I see. I would read Dickens' "Christmas Carol" aloud, myself.

Anz: A masterpiece of English literature, it's an important story full of lessons and morals that would stimulate the development of the children...

Tam: I see. So your plan is to put kids to sleep with difficult books and put presents under their pillows while they're off-guard!

Anz: No it's not!

Tam: But you said it's a masterpiece, so it's gotta be a difficult book that would put kids asleep... Tama'd fall asleep for sure.

Anz: Yeah, that could happen...

Anz: Let's put Dickens aside then. What about a simple picture book?

Anz: Do a reading of a book where Santa appears, and have all of you come out to match the story... How about that?

Yum: I see, that is a good idea.

Meb: Yeah. Let's go look for a picture book with Santa, then.

Kar: Anzu, Tamako, thanks! Now that it's decided, let's make a beeline for the library!
