Christmas.

Since Santa stopped coming,

it just became a holiday for picking at a cake as a family.

Merry Christmas.

Today, I'm on an important mission to acquire something.

And that is...

A Christmas present for Hirose!

Hirose, I've brought you a present today.

Wow. For me?

Thanks, Nakamura.

It's no big deal.

I'd do anything for you.

Just you wait, Hirose. I'll get you the best present ever!

I'll send this to Hirose-kun later.

Grab It! The Presents Scramble!!

I already know what Hirose wants.

This bonus Aquapet T-shirt!

Hirose-kun, did you see what comes with the album?

You mean the limited edition T-shirt?

I want it so bad.

This is it.

I bet Hirose would be surprised if I gave him this T-shirt.

Service Desk

It's you.

I-It's this guy.

You go to Hirose-kun's school.

Nakamura-kun.

The pervy Hirose fanboy.

What a coincidence. Are you here shopping, too?

Y-Yeah, I guess.

So am I.

I'm actually shopping for a Christmas present.

Hey, wait.

I, uh, I'm getting that T-shirt, too.

Oh, I see.

But I'm giving this to Hirose-kun, so you'll have to let this one go.

What?

Wait!

I'm...

I'm giving it to Hirose, too.

What? What did you just say?

I-I said I'm giving that T-shirt to Hirose.

What? Could you not copy me?

What?! I'm not copying you!

Plus, I found it first.

No, I did.

No, it was definitely me.

Well, I heard Hirose say he wants that T-shirt with my own ears!

What?

W-Well, I have my own reliable sources...

Actually...

Did Hirose-kun ask you to buy this for him?

Yikes!

Oh, yeah? Well, did he ask you?

In any case, it's mine. Give it up.

No, you! I'm buying this!

No, you give up!

You're just a pretty face!

Looks like we don't have any more left.

What?

N-Not even one?

They're the most popular band around right now.

Sold Out

T-Shirt

This is his fault.

That T-shirt was mine.

Oh, but this other store is getting more this afternoon.

Where is it?!

U-Uh...

Right here.

I have to do it.

I have to beat him.

Now is the time...

to use my legs!

I'll get that T-shirt before him!

Why are there so many people here?

While I'm stuck here...

D-Damn it!

What?!

Is there another escalator?

Damn. Was this a trap?

They say haste makes waste.

Hello!

Here you go. Merry Christmas.

Don't rush. Merry Christmas.

Be good. Merry Christmas.

E-Excuse me.

Crud. I should've taken the elevator in the back.

Reindeer, deer, deer!

Reindeer, deer, deer!

Merry Christmas.

Uh-oh.

Wh-What is this?

The store's already packed!

No fair!

I decided I'd give him this T-shirt a long time ago.

Why don't you give him something else?

No way. I want to give Hirose this T-shirt he wants,

and see his delight when he wears it.

Well, so do I.

I want to see Hirose-kun living in the T-shirt I gave him!

I want to see Hirose-kun pop by the store in it!

I don't even wish for that much! Wearing it at home is fine!

Or even sleeping in it.

We're sold out of the bonus merch.

Aw, what?

You!

I've had enough!

Stop getting in my way!

Hey!

I heard another shop just got more!

On the far end of the second floor?

We'd better hurry.

There are two routes to the CD shop from here.

Both take about the same amount of time.

This is plain and simply...

...a contest of physical ability!

He's probably just waiting for his parents.

There aren't too many customers here yet.

If I keep walking...

A-Are you okay?

Wh-Where are your parents?

I-I see.

Ah!

No, wait! Wh-Wh-What...

What am I supposed to do?!

There, there.

It's all right.

Let's go find your mom together.

Let's take this boy to the lost child center on the first floor.

O-Okay.

Y-You can have this.

Ken-chan!

Mom!

I am so, so sorry.

You're okay now.

Thank you so much.

Well, that's just how it goes.

I'll look for a better present on my own.

I doubt a T-shirt is the only thing Hirose-kun wants.

Th-Thanks for earlier.

I'm glad that boy found his mom right away.

See you later.

What am I going to get him?

Closing Ceremony

Today marks the end of second semester,

but buckle down and focus on your studies even more next year.

Also—

Later.

Have a good end of the year.

For our first temple visit...

I-I bought these because they're so cute.

Later, Hirose.

Yeah. See you next year.

But there's no way he'd like them.

They're totally just what I like.

Is this yours?

Huh? Uh, yeah.

I knew right away because it's an octopus.

Y-You can have it.

What?

I accidentally bought two and was wondering what to do with it.

I can only use one, so it'd be a waste otherwise.

What am I saying?

It sounds like I'm dumping something I don't want onto him.
