[ The video opens to Mitama, though just like in her recent post, she's wearing her "disguise". She's here on an important business, after all. ]
Ho, ho, ho! Thank you for joining our Secret Santa event~ It's time to find out what ─ or rather who ─ your assignment as Santa's Little Helper for this year is! Drumroll, please...
[ She makes a pause for a dramatic effect, her hand slipping into a Santa hat she's holding and pulling out a small piece of paper with a name on it. ]
It's none other than... Akira Kurusu, the rebel without a cause!
Remember, you should present your assignee with a gift of your choice until December 25th! Good luck, and remember: your main task is to spread joy, happiness and the spirit of Christmas cheer!
Miss Santa Coordinator, out!

Uh....Kijirou-san? It's me, Ken. When you have a moment, can I talk to you?
[Nevermind the hesitation in his voice. Because talking to his other leader will always be awkward.]

[ If she hears any hesitation in Ken's voice she's not going to make any mention of it. ]
Of course, Amada. How can I help?

It's not really you helping but...more that I was wondering what you would what for Christmas.
[Because telling the leader what she wants should not be a difficult as it should be.]

I see.
You do know that I don't expect a gift? You're under no obligation to get anything for me.

I know but I want to. It feels like the right thing to do anyway.
[Look. Some things are just respectful. And when your housemates is covered by mistletoe and frogs to divulge their nudist tendencies-- giving them a heads up on when you expect to be home is only right. Right??]
should be back in like ten minutes, just as a heads up.

[ Oh. So he really meant it when he said he was going to start texting her warnings... ]
Shinjiro.
Why exactly do you think it necessary to warn me before you enter your own house?
[ Say it, Aragaki.
Or text it rather. ]

[ Ugh, Ken. Let her think of something that isn't ridiculously expensive that he can actually get for her if he really insists upon it... ]
Well, I'm quite partial to sweet things. However I will be appreciative of anything you get for me.

[jokes on you, Mitsuru! This is more embarrassing for you than for him!]
To give you time to get a shirt on.

Would cookies be okay? I'm not much of a baker but I hope that you'll like them.
[ At least he can’t see the look on her face. Not yet anyway. ]
Your notice is entirely unnecessary.
I do not undress at the slightest opportunity, Aragaki.

[he's absolutely signing his own execution paperwork but you know what. That's fine.]
Didn't say you did. Just thought you might like the warning.

[ Oh he's being a shi-- pesky fellow. ]
Then thank you for the utterly unnecessary warning.
You will be pleased to learn that I am in fact fully clothed and you have nothing to concern yourself over.
I will you see you in ten minutes.
Provided I can control myself and remain dressed.

[Jerry is so confused about this chain of events... but he supposes he has nothing to do than to go through with what that girl said in his mailbox. he's no rule breaker, and even though he hadn't signed up for anything, he's going to go along with it. because it was a rule.
so on the 25th, Mitsuru might find a rapier leaning near her doorstep with a bow on the top. there's a note, in clear, concise handwriting:]
To defend those closest to you in the days ahead.
[she'll find that the weapon doesn't cut her, and it won't cut any of the other Chosen unless they're actively doing crimes. Monsters, animals and everything else can be damaged and killed by it as normal, though.]

[he's gonna get her to say a swear one day. Even if it means he has to annoy the hell out of her until she does!]
Cool make it five then
Anyway I gotta figure out something for this gift exchange thing. You wanna head out and see what they've got at the market?
[is this last minute? You get your ass it is.]
Kotone says you've met this Ryoji guy back home so help me out here.

You've left that late.
[ Of course she's going to express disapproval over that.
As for Ryoji- she had heard he was here but... ]
Mochizuki?
So you wish for me to accompany you to the market to help you pick out a Christmas gift for a recently defrosted pervert?
[ Someone she's executed then. ]
Fine. Although I may not be much help.
[ She can't imagine sharing the same taste as such a person. ]

Yeah Kotone mentioned you didn't think too highly of him. I met him one time here. He just seems like an awkward idiot.
Nah you'll help plenty.
[Bynagging insisting that Shinjiro take it seriously and figure something out so they can stop and go home, maybe.]
Besides I took out a nest of those sharkdog things the other day so I can buy some tea or whatever the hell hot things they have to drink here for us.

[ An awkward idiot, huh? ]
Well he certainly seemed to have a great deal of trouble understanding the rules of male and female segregated bathing.
Razorfins.
[ Is anyone surprised that she researches the names of all these monsters?
The mention of tea certainly makes this errand for an idiot's gift more appealing. ]
I'll be ready to leave as soon as you get back.

Cookies will be just fine and I'm sure you'll do a wonderful job with them, Amada.
...
If you say so, I think you and Kotone-san are being way too confident about me.

what a dumbass.
[god, even SHINJI knows that's what the internet is for?? You don't have to snoop it's 2009 and jpegs and mp4s exist.]
ok so on top of being an awkward idiot he's got no respect and no game. Great.
See you in a few.

Correct. [ Or it would be if she entirely understood what "having game" is. ]
À bientôt.
[ With that, she's just going strip off, hang out and wait.
Except she most definitely isn't going to do that first part and instead she's going to fetch her coat like a completely normal person about to leave their-house-but-not-really-their-house. ]

I"m guessing that means a pendejo.
[fuck your French?? Anyway, sure enough, it doesn't take him long to get to the house-- what's become their weird little home in this place. He doesn't bother knocking (as he gave her the warning so she wouldn't be NAKED), and at least looks half-amused.]
So what'd this guy do: try to get into the women's baths?

[ No, Shinjiro, it does not mean that. But alas Mitsuru doesn't feel inclined to text back with clarification for once. She has to mentally prepare herself for gift shopping for a perverted idiot and that's quite enough.
Also hi to you too, Shinjiro. ]
There was no try about it. It was one hot spring, set separate times for men and women to use it.
[ She takes a moment to fasten her coat before heading out of the front door. ]
He, Akihiko, Iori and Arisato claimed to have forgotten the time of the switch over.
[ Her expression confirms two things, 1. she didn't believe them for a single second and 2. there were consequences. Dire consequences. ]
