You know, a girl's butt is colder than I imagined.

Girls' butts are strangely cold, huh?

That's the last thing that should be on my mind right now, though.

Now isn't the time to be thinking about that, though.

Fuyumura!

Come on, chill out!

What's gotten into you?

Whoa! Y-You're freaking me out!

Kazushige...

Sanda...

Cut it out! Don't use my full name!

Seriously, what's the deal? What did I do?

This is nuts!

I mean, up until a second ago, you and I were...

-We came to school early like we agreed. -Good morning!

We came to school early like we agreed.

Good morning!

And then we cleaned the gunk out of the window track because it was sticking.

The two of us did our job as co-class representatives just fine, right?

It still sticks?

Are you mad because I did a half-assed job of cleaning the track?

I'd had dreams of scenarios where I was being straddled by a girl

or being chased around by one, but not like this!

I can't wrap my head around this!

What did I do to Fuyumura?

It's friggin' cold!

Good morning!

-Good morning. -Good... morning!

Good morning.

Good... morning!

You class representatives are here so early!

Sucks to be you!

Later!

Before the day is out...

I'm going to...

kill you.

H-Huh? Hang on.

Could this mean that Fuyumura likes me?

It's been eight months since we were made co-class representatives.

I've never seen the expression on her face change one bit...

but she's still a girl!

Being awkward and surly

has to be the same for both guys and girls going through puberty.

That has to be it!

Before the day is out...

I'm going to kill you.

Translated from the puberty language, that must mean, quote...

"Before the day is out, I'm going to confess my feelings for you."

End quote!

I'm onto you, Fuyumura!

Being pursued by a girl all day...

this might be the greatest day of my 14 years on this Earth!

This might be the greatest day of my 14 years on this Earth!

Sanda, your special kind of stupidity is gonna put you in an early grave.

Huh?

When Fuyumura comes at you with a kitchen knife out of the blue,

that means she's bad news!

-Let's go tell the teacher about this! -Wait, don't!

Let's go tell the teacher about this!

Wait, don't!

Fuyumura's a shy girl! I don't want to spoil this for her!

Look, man...

do you have any idea what kind of mental state Fuyumura's in right now?

I bet she's been a mess ever since Ono died.

I forget, were Fuyumura and Ono friends?

Or rather, hasn't it been a week since she was declared dead?

Yeah, about that long.

I mean, those two were joined at the hip, you know.

Oh.

If that's the case,

it's all the more reason for me to give her a shoulder to cry on.

Whatever.

Anyway, you're probably better off avoiding being alone with Fuyumura today.

Thanks for being so concerned about me!

Brr!

August is one thing, but it's nuts for it to be this cold in December!

Talk about abnormal weather!

Yeah, but I hear this is what was normal way back in the day.

It's no surprise that Christmas isn't a thing anymore.

Christmas?

Today. December 25th.

The way I hear it,

it was a day kids got presents from an old guy named "Santa Claus."

He was some big old dude with a white beard.

Wow, I had no idea.

Sounds kinda creepy.

More to the point, Sanda, don't you want to put on your track jacket?

Cold doesn't bother me at all!

Wow, it's snowing! It's actually snowing!

It's actual snow!

No wonder it's so cold!

Huh? Sanda?

Hey! What's wrong?

I-I don't know!

My chest suddenly felt like it's--

My chest suddenly felt like it's—

Come on, put on a jacket! You must be freezing!

No, I'm fine!

Where's this pain coming from?

It's like my heart is swelling!

Crap! My heart's pounding so hard, I feel like I'm gonna die!

Does...

Does this...

Does this clinch that Fuyumura is the girl I'm destined to be with?

Bring it on, Fuyumura!

Whatever you've got in store, I'm ready for it!

Can you do me a favor?

Wh-What is it?

Give me your eraser.

My eraser? Oh, you forgot yours?

Sure, hang on.

Give me your eraser.
My eraser? Oh, you forgot yours?
Sure, hang on.
I appreciate you attending the class representative meeting
even though you're not feeling well.
It's no big deal.
I'm not the sorta guy who'd chicken out at this point.
Why are you being so nice to me after I threatened you like that, Sanda?
Huh?
Is it because you're descended from Santa Claus?
You stubbornly refuse to ever put on...
our academy's red tracksuit.
Are you that scared of people finding out your secret identity?
Come again? "Descended from Santa Claus"? What are you talking about?
Please. Hurry up and give me that eraser.
Oh, s-sure!
Just about all of the conditions to break the curse have now been met.
Ignoring any danger to yourself, you show affection to a child
on a snowy December 25th.
You give a child something that she asked for.
You had to perform those two acts, Sanda.
And it worked.
I guess I'm close enough to still count as a child.
Hang... on--
People sometimes get sick suddenly with heart palpitations or whatever, right?
It's a sign that their latent abilities are about to emerge.
There are so many conditions that have to be met for that to actually happen
that most people just write it off as poor health and stop their daily routine.
There's just one more condition left to break your curse, Sanda.
And that is to wear something red.
Huh? What the hell are you babbling about, Fuyumura?
Get real!
Show a child affection? Give something to a child?
Don't trample all over my actions with talk like that!
I don't know squat about Santa Claus! It's some stupid old legend!
A fairy tale! Fantasy!
Everything I did was because I've had a thing for you forever, Fuyumura!
The plan was to eventually tell you how I feel...
but thanks to you, you've ruined everything, you jerk!
Give me back my heart!
You're wrong. Everything you do is motivated
by the instincts...
of Santa Claus!
Listen to...
Listen to the words I'm shouting at you!
Then put on this red track jacket.
Then we can talk.
Forget it! I hate the color red--
Anyway! Fuyumura!
Why...
are you so freaking obsessed with this Santa Claus guy?
You leave me no choice. I'm going to follow through on what I said.
You're going to wear something red, Sanda.
You...
w-were serious...
about that?
Fuyumura...
Why...
Oh, wow!
It's so pretty!
Dying all alone with no one ever knowing is a terrifying thought, isn't it, Sanda?
Ono didn't die.
She just up and vanished one day,
and they wrote her off as dead after not finding her for six months.
She was always inside with her nose in a book.
She couldn't possibly have been killed outside.
"Shiori Fuyumura" is such an amazing name, you know that?
It is?
Way back when, Japan had four seasons, right? Spring, summer, fall and winter.
They say that the scenery changed with the changing of the seasons.
Your skin is white as snow, and you're quiet,
so your last name meaning "winter village" is a perfect fit...
but deep down,
you have lots of expressions that are as varied as those seasons are.
You're so colorful!
Hanging out with you lets me enjoy all the seasons!
So, here! Merry Christmas!
You're the only one who's hung up on this old tradition.
Besides, I didn't get you anything.
Let's spend December 25th together next year, too!
We can say "Merry Christmas!" to each other...
and exchange presents!
Either Ono is being held captive by someone from this school...
or maybe she's already--
Sanda? Hey!
Turn into Santa!
If you don't, you'll die!
Santa Claus is able to do incredible things to do what he does for kids, right?
Well, I need unstoppable power like that right now!
I need your powers to find Ono!
If you die on me, I'm screwed! I never wanted you to die!
You're my only hope, Sanda!
If I give up, that means Ono really is dead!
I can't let that happen!
I promised her!
I said we'd spend Christmas this year together!
I know she would've loved to see it snowing on Christmas!
I wanted to give her a present!
I miss Ono so much!
Ono...
Merry Christmas.
Sanda...
I thought the Sanda Family curse would be locked away with me!
I have no idea how you found out!
How do you know what it would take to break the curse, Fuyumura?
You stuck me pretty good.
It'll heal.
The bond between Santa and a child who believes in Santa is unbreakable.
A little stab wound like that will heal.
A child who believes in Santa?
Don't make yourself out to be so innocent. Fuyumura, who the hell are you?
How did you know who I really am?
You're really him!
Santa Claus!
Despite being 14...
Fuyumura has to be at least 182 cm.
Does just looking at her from above make her look so young?
This Fuyumura standing in front of me is just a little girl.
I'm begging you, Sanda!
I need your help! I want to find Ono!
Is this Santa's instincts talking or just simple ethics?
All I want to do right now... is put a smile on this child's face.
All children ought to be smiling.
I give you my word.
I'll find her, no matter what!
And with that...
a snow-white curse fell upon my youth.
Is this... that presbyopia deal I've read about?
Why...
can I see it clearly far away, but it's blurry up close?
My voice that was on the cusp of changing was so cute!
My face had its own nickname, "The cheeks that bring happiness"!
How long are you gonna stay locked in there, Sanda?
Everybody's freaking out because you trashed the school building.
Everyone! Please evacuate!
Nobody's gonna bat an eye at a half-naked old dude
wandering the halls at this point.
-This is bad! -What is?
Having an adorable face is my thing!
If I have a rugged face that's anything but cute, I'm not me anymore!
You realize how messed up those words sound coming out of that face, right?
What if I can't turn back? I'm 14 on the inside!
If I'm stuck as big, burly Santa Claus forever, the rest of my life will be hell!
You'll turn back soon enough.
The important thing is that you hurry up and keep your promise.
Getting back my looks comes first!
Looking for a missing classmate comes way before that!
Damn!
What're those?
These are my mood stabilizers, Bratty Beans.
Thank goodness I always have some on me.
Whenever I'm angry, these always do the trick.
It's like when adults smoke a cigarette.
You know?
Hang on, I can see things up close clearly.
I've eaten Bratty Beans for so long that it's become like second nature!
Thanks to this junk food
that's chock full of additives and have zero nutritional value,
I've turned back into my youthful self!
Okay, everyone!
Yesterday sure was scary, huh?
I'm told that the explosion was the result of the building deteriorating due to age.
So, as a result, we'll be having classes here in this science lab for a while.
Anyway, we'll be picking up from last time.
JAPANESE FOR TENSHI
Let's talk with the person next to us about what we would wish for, okay?
Fuyumura... I spent all night thinking about this.
I know I gave you my word and all...
but I don't know how much use I'd be in looking for Ono.
All I know is that I'm descended from Santa Claus...
and I have absolutely no idea what I'm even capable of.
Besides, there's no telling when or if I'll ever change again, right?
I'll be honest, I'm freaking out.
You don't need to worry about any of that.
I've already come up with a plan.
A plan?
I've planted a bomb somewhere in this science lab.
It'll go off in one hour.
You could use your powers to find the bomb,
or you could get everybody out of the room...
or you could even force me to tell you where the bomb is.
Or you could just wait around and see if it explo--
Why would you do that?
To learn what Santa Claus is capable of.
This is a test to see what abilities you'll employ...
using the lives of the 22 people in this room as motivation.
As much as I hate to say it...
I know that she doesn't bluff!
Everybody!
Huh?
Th-There's a bomb somewhere in this room!
You should all...
get out of here before it's too late.
We're in the middle of a lesson. Please don't interrupt.
Sanda, I didn't study for the quiz, either, so don't sweat it.
Let's blow up together, okay?
Yeah, I'm not surprised. I shouldn't have opened with that.
Be honest, Fuyumura.
You're lying about there being a bomb, right?
If believing that makes you feel better, feel free.
It's better to look for the thing than sit fretting for an hour, huh?
Okay, you're on!
Teacher,
the truth is, I spilled a whole box of thumbtacks in this room this morning.
Can I check the floor?
But we're in the middle of a lesson.
But I'm worried sick that I didn't find them all.
I can't bear the thought that someone might get hurt because of me.
I want to look for them right now.
Okay,
since it looks like Sanda wants to keep a sharp eye out to keep the classroom safe,
I want you all to keep just as sharp an eye
on the rules for paragraphs and line breaks.
What the hell am I even doing? No way is it gonna be sitting out on the floor!
Use your head!
I can't believe today's lesson is writing an essay, of all things.
"WHAT I WISH FOR"
And that's the theme.
Me being the descendant of Santa Claus in a situation like this,
what kind of sick joke is that being the topic?
How can I put it?
The pressure is really getting to me!
They're all totally focused on their writing.
They all have something they wish for.
And yet here's the real Santa Claus...
but he's a useless idiot. Sorry, guys.
I wish I could be like you and be the one doing the writing.
But there's no going back to being a regular middle schooler anymore.
I can't bear the thought of my secret identity
being just some huge old geezer who can't keep his promise to Fuyumura!
My Santa Claus curse has been broken!
Santa Claus...
What would the real Santa Claus do?
What would he do at a time like this?
I'll tell you what the real Santa Claus would do!
Okay, time's almost up! Is everyone done--
Don't make a scene! If you do, I'll snap this girl's neck!
L-Let her go this instant!
Who are you?
I told you not to make a scene!
I'm a thief!
No, a robber!
Uh, no, a terrorist!
Get out of this room right now!
-And get me 10 billion yen! -Fuyu!
In exchange for her life!
Get moving!
Teacher!
Fuyu... Fuyu's gonna...
Don't you worry, children.
Judging from his demand, he doesn't seem to be very bright.
I want you all to go downstairs and take shelter.
I'll go get help!
Color me surprised. You've got balls, Sanda.
If I can turn into this
just by draping a red track jacket across my shoulders, this body has its perks.
I must say...
I'm impressed that you figured it out.
You were... serious about the bombs?
I'm always serious.
I was testing you for real.
A Santa who can't save a bunch of kids
from a little bomb like this would be of no use to me.
I would've looked for Ono myself.
You...
were about to take out the entire class, not just yourself!
I can't stand people who bitch and moan about things that didn't happen.
That's a bad habit adults have.
Just be happy you found the bomb and it's all done.
Fuyumura! Deep down, this girl is a rotten brat!
Tell me, how did you figure out that the bomb was on me?
I heard the sound of writing from every desk but yours.
I don't know if it's the way Santa's supposed to do things,
but a kid who can't think of something that she wants...
would make Santa worried sick, right?
Especially at a time like this...
when you have it so rough worrying about Ono.
I interrupted the class because I thought it must be hard for you, that's all.
I was going to ask you questions to figure out where the bomb was,
but I never imagined...
Hey, are you listening to me?
I can't write out what I want.
Because I know...
that the fear of losing someone...
far outweighs the joy you feel when you're with them.
Then...
the joy you'll feel when you're reunited with her will be even bigger.
Isn't the time you spent with Ono the most precious thing in the world to you?
So, let's get back your treasure. Oh!
Wait a minute, did you deactivate the bomb?
The bomb! Sanda grabbed it?
Fuyumura!
Sanda is more like Santa Claus than I ever hoped.
I now know three abilities that Santa Claus possesses.
One.
He turns into Santa Claus when he puts on something red.
Sanda!
Fuyumura, you airhead!
I meant what I said just now!
Two. He turns back into his child form when he eats Bratty Beans.
I like your spirit!
Let's find Ono for real!
Looks like I can shrug off a fire in a fireplace like it's nothing!
I'll come down the chimney to deliver your present!
That's a promise from Santa Claus!
Three.
He's impervious to fire.
Though I guess this goes a little beyond your average fire in a fireplace.

of Santa Claus!
Listen to...
Listen to the words I'm shouting at you!
Then put on this red track jacket.
Then we can talk.
Forget it! I hate the color red—
Anyway! Fuyumura!
Why...
are you so freaking obsessed with this Santa Claus guy?
You leave me no choice. I'm going to follow through on what I said.
You're going to wear something red, Sanda.
You...
w-were serious...
about that?
Fuyumura...
Why...
Oh, wow!
It's so pretty!
Dying all alone with no one ever knowing is a terrifying thought, isn't it, Sanda?
Ono didn't die.
She just suddenly went missing...
and they wrote her off as dead after not finding her for six months.
She was always inside with her nose in a book.
She couldn't possibly have been killed outside.
"Shiori Fuyumura" is such an amazing name, you know that?
It is?
Way back when, Japan had four seasons, right? Spring, summer, fall and winter.
They say that the scenery changed with the changing of the seasons.
Your skin is white as snow, and you're quiet,
so your last name meaning "winter village" is a perfect fit...
but deep down,
you have lots of expressions that are as varied as those seasons are.
You're so colorful!
Hanging out with you lets me enjoy all the seasons!
So, Merry Christmas!
You're the only one who's hung up on this old tradition.
Besides, I didn't get you anything.
Let's spend December 25th together next year, too!
We can say "Merry Christmas!" to each other...
and exchange presents!
Either Ono is being held captive by someone from this school...
or maybe she's already—
Sanda? Hey!
Turn into Santa!
If you don't, you'll die!
Santa Claus is able to do incredible things to do what he does for kids, right?
Well, I need unstoppable power like that right now!
I need your powers to find Ono!
If you die on me, I'm screwed! I never wanted you to die!
You're my only hope, Sanda!
If I give up, that means Ono really is dead!
I can't let that happen!
I promised her!
I said we'd spend Christmas this year together!
I know she would've loved to see it snowing on Christmas!
I wanted to give her a present!
I miss Ono so much!
Ono...
Merry Christmas.
Sanda...
I thought the Sanda Family curse would be locked away with me!
I have no idea how you found out!
How do you know what it would take to break the curse, Fuyumura?
You stuck me pretty good.
It'll heal.
The bond between Santa and a child who believes in Santa is unbreakable.
A little stab wound like that will heal.
A child who believes in Santa?
Don't make yourself out to be so innocent. Fuyumura, who the hell are you?
How did you know who I really am?
You're really him!
Santa Claus!
Despite being 14...
Fuyumura has to be at least 182 cm.
Does just looking at her from above make her look so young?
This Fuyumura standing in front of me is just a little girl.
I'm begging you, Sanda!
I need your help! I want to find Ono!
Is this Santa's instincts talking or just simple ethics?
All I want to do right now... is put a smile on this child's face.
All children ought to be smiling.
I give you my word.
I'll find her, no matter what!
And with that...
a snow-white curse fell upon my youth.
Is this... that presbyopia deal I've read about?
Why...
can I see it clearly far away, but it's blurry up close?
My voice that was on the cusp of changing was so cute!
My face had its own nickname, "The cheeks that bring happiness"!
How long are you gonna stay locked in there, Sanda?
Everybody's freaking out because you trashed the school building.
Everyone! Please evacuate!
Nobody's gonna bat an eye at a half-naked old dude
wandering the halls at this point.
This is bad!
What is?
Having an adorable face is my thing!
If I have a rugged face that's anything but cute, I'm not me anymore!
You realize how messed up those words sound coming out of that face, right?
What if I can't turn back? I'm 14 on the inside!
If I'm stuck as big, burly Santa Claus forever, the rest of my life will be hell!
You'll turn back soon enough.
The important thing is that you hurry up and keep your promise.
Getting back my looks comes first!
Looking for a missing classmate comes way before that!
Damn!
What're those?
These are my mood stabilizers, Bratty Beans.
Thank goodness I always have some on me.
Whenever I'm angry, these always do the trick.
It's like when adults smoke a cigarette.
You know?
Hang on, I can see things up close clearly.
I've eaten Bratty Beans for so long that it's become like second nature!
Thanks to this junk food with zero nutritional value,
I've turned back into my youthful self!
Okay, everyone!
Yesterday sure was scary, huh?
I'm told that the explosion was the result of the building deteriorating.
So, as a result, we'll be having classes here in this science lab for a while.
Anyway, we'll be picking up from last time.
Let's talk with the person next to us about what we would wish for, okay?
Fuyumura... I spent all night thinking about this.
I know I gave you my word and all...
but I don't know how much use I'd be in looking for Ono.
All I know is that I'm descended from Santa Claus...
and I have absolutely no idea what I'm even capable of.
Besides, there's no telling when or if I'll ever change again, right?
I'll be honest, I'm freaking out.
You don't need to worry about any of that.
I've already come up with a plan.
A plan?
I've planted a bomb somewhere in this science lab.
It'll go off in one hour.
You could use your powers to find the bomb,
or you could get everybody out of the room...
or you could even force me to tell you where the bomb is.
Or you could just wait around and see if it explo—
Why would you do that?
To learn what Santa Claus is capable of.
This is a test to see what abilities you'll employ...
using the lives of the 22 people in this room as motivation.
As much as I hate to say it...
I know that she doesn't bluff!
Everybody!
Huh?
Th-There's a bomb somewhere in this room!
You should all...
get out of here before it's too late.
We're in the middle of a lesson. Please don't interrupt.
Sanda, I didn't study for the quiz, either, so don't sweat it.
Let's blow up together, okay?
Yeah, I'm not surprised. I shouldn't have opened with that.
Be honest, Fuyumura.
You're lying about there being a bomb, right?
If believing that makes you feel better, feel free.
It's better to look for the thing than sit fretting for an hour, huh?
Okay, you're on!
Teacher,
the truth is, I spilled a whole box of thumbtacks in this room this morning.
Can I check the floor?
But we're in the middle of a lesson.
But I'm worried sick that I didn't find them all.
I can't bear the thought that someone might get hurt because of me.
I want to look for them right now.
Okay,
since it looks like Sanda wants to keep a sharp eye out to keep the classroom safe,
I want you all to keep just as sharp an eye
on the rules for paragraphs and line breaks.
What the hell am I even doing? No way is it gonna be sitting out on the floor!
Use your head!
I can't believe today's lesson is writing an essay, of all things.
And that's the theme.
Me being the descendant of Santa Claus in a situation like this,
what kind of sick joke is that being the topic?
How can I put it?
The pressure is really getting to me!
They're all totally focused on their writing.
They all have something they wish for.
And yet here's the real Santa Claus...
but he's a useless idiot. Sorry, guys.
I wish I could be like you and be the one doing the writing.
But there's no going back to being a regular middle schooler anymore.
I can't bear the thought of my secret identity
being just some huge old geezer who can't keep his promise to Fuyumura!
My Santa Claus curse has been broken!
Santa Claus...
What would the real Santa Claus do?
What would he do at a time like this?
I'll tell you what the real Santa Claus would do!
Okay, time's almost up! Is everyone done—
Don't make a scene! If you do, I'll snap this girl's neck!
L-Let her go this instant!
Who are you?
I told you not to make a scene!
I'm a thief!
No, a robber!
Uh, no, a terrorist!
Get out of this room right now!
And get me 10 billion yen!
Fuyu!
In exchange for her life!
Get moving!
Teacher!
Fuyu... Fuyu's gonna...
Don't you worry, children.
Judging from his demand, he doesn't seem to be very bright.
I want you all to go downstairs and take shelter.
I'll go get help!
Color me surprised. You've got balls, Sanda.
If I can turn into this
just by draping a red track jacket across my shoulders, this body has its perks.
I must say...
I'm impressed that you figured it out.
You were... serious about the bombs?
I'm always serious.
I was testing you for real.
A Santa who can't save a bunch of kids
from a little bomb like this would be of no use to me.
I would've looked for Ono myself.
You...
were about to take out the entire class, not just yourself!
I can't stand people who bitch and moan about things that didn't happen.
That's a bad habit adults have.
Just be happy you found the bomb and it's all done.
Fuyumura! Deep down, this girl is a rotten brat!
Tell me, how did you figure out that the bomb was on me?
I heard the sound of writing from every desk but yours.
I don't know if it's the way Santa's supposed to do things,
but a kid who can't think of something that she wants...
would make Santa worried sick, right?
Especially at a time like this...
when you have it so rough worrying about Ono.
I interrupted the class because I thought it must be hard for you, that's all.
I was going to ask you questions to figure out where the bomb was,
but I never imagined...
Hey, are you listening to me?
I can't write out what I want.
Because I know...
that the fear of losing someone...
far outweighs the joy you feel when you're with them.
Then...
the joy you'll feel when you're reunited with her will be even bigger.
Isn't the time you spent with Ono the most precious thing in the world to you?
So, let's get back your treasure. Oh!
Wait a minute, did you deactivate the bomb?
The bomb! Sanda grabbed it?
Fuyumura!
Sanda is more like Santa Claus than I ever hoped.
I now know three abilities that Santa Claus possesses.
One.
He turns into Santa Claus when he puts on something red.
Sanda!
Fuyumura, you airhead!
I meant what I said just now!
Two. He turns back into his child form when he eats Bratty Beans.
I like your spirit!
Let's find Ono for real!
Looks like I can shrug off a fire in a fireplace like it's nothing!
I'll come down the chimney to deliver your present!
That's a promise from Santa Claus!
Three.
He's impervious to fire.
Though I guess this goes a little beyond your average fire in a fireplace.
