Part 1Part 2

Izumi	I’m back~.
Sakuya	Welcome home, Director!
Kazunari	Oh, perfect timing, Director-chan!
	Tah daaah!
	I made this year’s advent calendar ☆
Izumi	Woah… it’s amazing!
	The letters on the calendar dates are pretty and cute too!
Kazunari	Oh, Director-chan noticed!
	I was supes particular about that point when I made it ♪
Izumi	(Citron-kun's when he made one was really amazing, but as expected, Kazunari-kun's has his heart put into it too…!)
	Speaking of which, today’s the day I start opening the advent calendar, right?
Kazunari	Yep, yep! The “MANKAI Dorm Advent Calendar”!
	For 24 days starting today, the advent calendar which has presents for Director-chan put inside will be opened~.
	I’m feeling pretty excited too!
Hisoka	…So noisy.
Kazunari	Uwahh! That surprised me~!
Izumi	Hisoka-san, since when were you here!?
Hisoka	…From the start.
	I was sleeping behind the sofa.
Sakuya	You’ll catch a cold, you know!
Hisoka	I was sleeping with Penpen, so it’s fine.
	More importantly, aren't you opening the calendar?
Sakuya	Yeah, the first day is the day my present will be opened!
	Please open it, Director!
Izumi	Thank you. I’m really happy…
	But as I thought, I feel guilty that I’m the only one receiving presents.
	Why don’t we take turns opening it this year?
Kazunari	EH! No can do!
	This was prepared by everyone for Director-chan!
Hisoka	…It’s meaningless if everyone opens it.
Sakuya	That’s right!
	Please don’t hesitate and go ahead.
Izumi	Ok… I understand. Thank you.
	Alright, I’ll open it then.
	(I wonder what could be inside. My heart is racing…)

Izumi	This is… a stocking?
Sakuya	Yes! The present from me is a stocking!
Izumi	It’s so cute with the print of Santa and his reindeer on it.
	Thank you, Sakuya-kun!
Hisoka	A stocking…
Kazunari	Sakusaku, why’d you give her a stocking?
Sakuya	Actually, on the night of the first Christmas I spent at MANKAI dorm—.
	When I placed a stocking by my pillow, the next morning, a cat plushie was put inside!
Izumi	Sakuya-kun was really happy back then, right?
	How nostalgic.
Kazunari	What the, that’s so lit!
	It was a present from Santa, right~!
Sakuya	Right! Since that made me so happy, I thought it’d be nice if Santa could come visit Director too.
Izumi	Then should I leave my stocking by my pillow on Christmas eve too?
Sakuya	Yep!
	—Ah, no! Wait, you can’t!
Izumi	Eh?
Sakuya	If Director does that, I’ll have to barge into her room in the middle of the night, so…
	If possible, you could hang it on your doorknob or something…!
Kazunari	Sakusaku, you’re such a cutie pie~!
	You’re letting your true intentions show, you know ♪
Sakuya	Ehh? AH…!
	F-forget what I said just now!
Izumi	Fufu.
	Alright, I’ll hang the stocking on my doorknob.
Sakuya	Yes, I think that something good will definitely happen.
	Please look forward to it!
Izumi	Yeah!
Hisoka	…Sakuya, put marshmallows in my stocking too.
Sakuya	Hisoka-san, she’ll find out if you say that…!
Kazunari	Hmm~, what’re you two being so sneaky about?
	That’s pretty sus~!
Sakuya	I-it's not like that!
Izumi	(I wonder what kind of present I’ll get… I can’t wait to see.)
	—Mm…
	(It’s morning already, huh… Today’s the 25th.
	It’s Christmas…)
	Ah, that reminds me, my stocking!
	*door opens*
	—!
	There’s lots of candies put into my stocking…!
	…Hm?
Sakuya	—!!
	*leaves*
Izumi	(Fufu, I'll have to thank Santa Sakuya-kun once again when I see him later.)
