Um... if you wear antlers outside, the Reindeer Spirit might think you're one of its own... You could even get a luck buff...

Wow... so the Reindeer Spirit is real, just like my mom and brother said! Is it all round and fluffy? Does it use warm, glowing magic to bring us gifts on Christmas Eve?

It's... tall and skinny... Like, really sharp antlers and teeth. And bone spikes all down its spine. Its eyes glow red... So gorgeous...!

Eep?! Th-that sounds like something from a creepypasta... Ayako, you're okay, right...?

Y-yeah, I'm fine! I had the antlers on, so... the spirit and I are friends now. Really, don't worry...

Analysis: Commercial antler accessories are mostly polyester. No RFID or biological traits found.\nQuery: How would entity "Reindeer Spirit" identify KR-976 as "one of its own"?

N-no need to worry... It knows exactly where you are. Maybe just check behind you sometimes? It likes to follow... quietly.

Reconfiguring defense modules. Entity "Reindeer Spirit" flagged as Threat Level: High...

Clarification: KR-976 is not exhibiting fear reflexes or avoidance behaviors toward this unknown entity.\nProject "Antler" temporarily suspended... solely due to interference with antenna reception!

Lol... Ayako still got that natural gift for making content, huh?

Sadako said she had fun hanging out last time... She wants to introduce a new friend to you...

"EXCLUSIVE LIVESTREAM: FINDING THE CRYPTID REINDEER AT MIDNIGHT"... That title is gonna print views. Time to dominate the gaming and horror categories at once! Lmaooo!

The Reindeer Spirit said it's excited to meet you...

If I wear them, do you get the good luck buff, Ayako?

Uhm... the Reindeer Spirit said if two people wear antlers together... they'll get a double luck buff...

Awww so cute!!!

Glad you like them, {name}... Hanako and Sadako helped me pick them out, and I added the ribbon bows...

Also, Sadako was asking if you're free on Christmas... We really want to hang out with you...

The snow here is INSANE! Hey everyone, come over and let's build a snowman!

Aahhh, we only got like an inch of snow in One Han City. Where is this? How is the snow so heavy?!

Anca Ranch! It's where Liisa Liisa grew up!

SO COOL. It looks like a scene out of a manga... The forecast says One Han City might get a snow dump too. Pls god I wanna build a snowman so bad...

Shaun's looking so chubby, so cute!

Hehe! Shaun's just all fluffed up for winter! Makes for the best hugs right now!

Whoa! Look at all that snow! Maybe there's a secret entrance to Wonderland hidden underneath.

Yes! Probably snow bunnies nesting in there! Let's go find them together!

Looks like a giant coconut mousse. Just looking at it is so satisfying.

Mmm... now Liisa Liisa is hungry. Wish I could get deserts from One Han City out here to Anca Ranch!

That mini snow Shaun you're holding looks so real!

Hehehe! Next I'm gonna build a Mr. Wolf snowman!

Seriously, Eliisa, aren't you cold?

I'm fine! Liisa Liisa grew up in this weather!

Ooh! Someone's feeling chilly! Come here, I'll give you a big warm hug!

My Xmas Special recipe... REVEALED!\nA foundation of aged rum. A sanguine flood of cranberry. And the chalice, rimmed with crushed roasted almonds...\nO Tannenbaum, blazing against the chaotic void of night! How can mere mortal words ever hope to do you justice?

I'm taking suggestions. The name has to be as memorable and soul-crushing as White Night's first appearance!

We need a name again? How about... "Midnight Christmas Tree"? Customers will instantly get that it's the holiday special.

So basic! My magnum opus needs to have that vibe, you know? Like finding light in the abyss, that feeling of destiny and redemption!

Brother... your standards are insane. Mom, you're up! [tag]@Montbel[/tag]

"Seasonal Composite Fluid – Winter Edition (3.2% EtOH, Anthocyanin-Based Coloration)"

That's my Yui! But the key to flavor is the interaction of the molecules. I suggest the name highlight the synergistic effect of the esters...

How about "Xmas Molecular Synergy Complex: Cocktail Type α-01"?!

The molecular synergy is optimized when ice keeps the liquid at 5°C.

That makes sense!! That's critical for the flavor profile! So the final name has to be... "Cryo-Constrained Xmas Flavor Resonance Complex α-01: Winter"!

Hmm... not bad. Pretty sick, actually. As expected, my magnum opus can rock any kind of name. Hahahahaha!

Hehe, that's so White Night. The legendary "Nocturne of Shadows: Oath of the Berry" has finally found a master to whom it must bow.

A truly magnificent name! And yet... I can feel it... There's another name, chosen by fate, waiting for me to awaken it...

"Phantom Thief of the Holy Night: Oath of the Frostblade"

This... this is practically a calling card from White Night himself! My kindred spirit, would you have time to come and personally taste the Phantom Thief of the Holy Night's holiday special?

Hehe, Natsuki, you just wanted to invite {name} over for Christmas, right? [tag]@{name}[/tag] We'd love to see you! Please come visit!

"Xmas Special" is still the easiest to get, though!

Hahaha! {name}, truly, nothing escapes your eyes. You saw right through the disguise! I'm impressed!

Oh~ So you don't think it's basic anymore now that {name} came up with it?

Woah, the trees on the street grew shiny fruits! And there are so many stalls selling wild snacks! Like garlic & bell pepper gingerbread men, and cilantro & bacon milkshakes... I want to try everything, chirp!

Do not eat those strange things.

The books say "to experience something is to know it"... I'll just have a little bite!

...Never mind. Where have you wandered off to? Are you lost again?

Hehe... I just followed my nose... It's all bright and warm here, chirp!

Garlic & bell pepper gingerbread men... Cilantro & bacon milkshakes... Such contradictory yet pioneering combos... Please tell me where to find these!

I'm also curious...

It's at the Christmas market nearby! I can take you there, chirp. But... please don't be mad if I'm a little slow, chirp.

I'm kinda curious... how did they taste?

The nice lady with purple hair I met said it's a secret...

Wow, that's some real holiday spirit! And they say good kids receive gifts, you know!

Chirp?! I keep my feathers all shiny and clean, and I don't sleep in class! I am a good kid, chirp!

[Holiday Notice] The office will be closed from Dec 24 to Jan 3.\nHoliday Perks:\n1. 10 straight days of paid leave\n2. Double year-end bonus\n3. Round-trip tickets to anywhere (can be exchanged for cash)\nMake it a productive and happy holiday, team!

Yes! Finally, I have time to get 100% on IDOL Hunter!

I missed the limited Mokos hand puppet drop last time. But now I finally get the chance to go bring it home!

Perfect! Holidays are the best time for an adventure! A wild journey like this needs a partner who knows how to chill!

More comments hidden

Um, are you guys still hiring by any chance?

I'm glad you're so eager, but I'd rather spend my time off with you. Whatever you want to do this holiday, just say the word. I'll take care of everything.

Sweet! Totally gonna borrow some of these holiday ideas!

{name}, you in? I've got a ton of new games waiting for us!

Hmm, {name} sweetie is already fully booked by me. And I won't agree to any other plans, okay?

Haha, Happy Holidays, partner! So, you wanna be the lucky guest or my adventure buddy? Your call.

Can I have another one?

That ice cream is huge! Looks so yummy, I want a bite too, nyaa!

Hmph! You dare try to steal from me... But you did teach me how to get snacks from {name}, so I'll allow it this time.

On my way, nyaa!

Oh, Ichihime and Lin Lang, you're both here! Saw a bunch of snacks at the Christmas market. How about I treat you both, to make up for the incident at Samu Joy Island?

I-I'm NOT hungry!!! You can have your mushroom soup yourself!!!

But didn't I just hear you asking for another serving? Don't be shy on my account.

In human years, I'm your elder! You can't force an elder to eat!

Nyahaha... I just remembered I have snacks at the shrine I need to finish, so I think I'll stay in, nyaa...

Oh my! All that ice cream... Better be careful, or you'll get a tummy ache!

Don't worry! My cuteness is infinite, which means my stomach is too!

You gotta watch your health. Don't eat too much dessert!

The amazing, talented {name}, the mahjong genius {name}, the perfect grown-up {name}... uhm, uhm... the {name} who buys me snacks... Come on... you're the best!

Alright, special exception for today! Keep the refills coming for Lin Lang!

Hehe, even {name} is under my spell. My cuteness is already on another level!

Yasss! One Han City is so lit right now! Time to serve some holiday looks. This outfit is already slaying, but with a few cute accessories? It's gonna be a whole vibe!

I'm meeting some friends next week, so I gotta look good. Kirara, what style do you think will really pop?

Ooh – are you talking about a... group date? Hehe, say no more! You absolutely have to go full-on Hot Girl mode!

Oh shoot! I forgot to prep an outfit! ...Ugh, guess I'll just go pray in my tracksuit. It's a look, right?

Tracksuit?! Absolutely NOT! Nana! That is a total betrayal of your potential glow-up! You are committing a crime against fashion itself!

Chill, chill, I was kidding. I wouldn't actually wear a tracksuit to the shrine!

The arcade is having a Christmas event! You can win a suuuper cute strawberry cake plushie from the claw machine! It's a limited drop! Wanna go after we get our accessories?

That plushie is pretty cute... but aren't you supposed to be streaming?! I literally just saw the announcement on CatChat!

Kirara, your sense of style is always on point.

Hehe, I knew you had a good eye, {name}! So, what do you say? Want me to be your personal stylist for a bit?

So, what's the plan for the extra bling?

Ugh... I have zero ideas. Wait, {name}, be my shopping buddy! Let's just hit the mall and I'll cop the first thing that catches your eye. I totally trust your taste!

I thought this deep freeze would be a total bust, but the streets are crawling with potential couples! Let's go!

Tch. The world is in chaos, and the strings of fate are all tangled up. Charge into that mess if you want, my friend... but don't be surprised when you come up empty.

Yeah... the last couple of years have been weird. Young people these days have their walls up so high, like they're terrified of letting anyone get a glimpse inside...

Hah! I've been tying the knots of fate for ages. You think a little thing like that can stop me? Get to the market, now – I'm about to give you a masterclass in matchmaking.

Fate's script must not be spoiled, nor its cast be coerced. Lately, the romantic energies in One Han City... are not to be messed with. Ah, one moment. I have a visitor. Let's pick this up later, my friend.

W-w-what?! You can't just drop a bomb like that and bail! That's it! I'm turning all your precious strings of fate into a complete rat's nest!

Ooh, are you going on another special mission?! I can call the Kitty Warriors to help!

My whole deal is... kinda different from yours. Ahem. Look, this is a complicated grown-up business, so stay out of it, kiddo!

Hey! Me and my Kitty Warriors are legit, so don't underestimate us! We find lost stuff, lost kitties, you name it! We're awesome! But... what is "matchmaking"?

Need any help?

Matchmaking is an art, not something any rando mortal can handle. But... you're different. I'll let you tag along. Where are you at? I'm heading over now!

Working on the holiday? That's rough!

You think I wanna be working on a holiday?! It's because your love life has somehow become a total train wreck, {name}... and I have to pull out all the stops to make sure you get your happy ending!

And, uh... Merry Christmas.

Happy Holidays! Things are getting pretty wild out there with all the events. No way Luck and Fortune is getting left in the dust! ...I got it! Let's get everyone in some flashy costumes to jingle all the way and bring in the customers!

You really think anyone would do that for free, woof?

They'll get a 10% off coupon for Luck and Fortune!

Didn't you pull this same stunt before, woof...?

That was a 20% discount, but this time? I've slashed the number all the way down to rock bottom!

Did you slash the price... or just the discount? Sounds like you're being even stingier, woof...

Oh, you've figured it out! Congrats, you passed the interview. How about you come get your uniform?

Since WHEN was this an interview?! This is basically forced labor, woof!

Whoa, sweet discount! How do I sign up, nyaa?

Just head to the parlor and sign up at the front desk to get your coupon. First-come, first-served!

Count me in!

Uhehe, young lady. Even if I hired you, I wouldn't give you a chance to figure out my age.

Busted... The Great One Han City Unsolved Mystery Investigation failed right out of the gate...!

That's not much of a discount...

If you're interested, {name}, I can sweeten the deal. I always make a killing when you're around, after all. But honestly, I've got something else in mind for you – you are absolutely not missing our Christmas mahjong night.

What about you, Fu Ji? As the owner, are you gonna dress up too?

Hehehe, I can see exactly what you're thinking. I do have a special plan just for your eyes only. But if you want me to say yes, you'll have to convince me first~

The bells in One Han City haven't stopped ringing. Better to stay inside and focus on my meditation than let the clamor dull my senses.

The firecrackers are making a huge racket, too. Must be torture for someone who relies on their ears as much as you do... Wait, hold on. How are you even sending messages on CatChat??

The modern world offers its own solutions. I speak, and my words are transcribed; posts are read aloud for me to hear. The mind is not bound by the eyes – tools can serve as a means to convey one's thoughts.

And here I thought you'd have some next-level sensory powers, like reading the wind with your fingertips or literally seeing words with your mind's eye...

A quick tongue doesn't mean a focused mind. If you've got the energy for wisecracks, you clearly haven't been training hard enough. I'm on my way. We're drilling until you have no breath left to waste.

I've done a quick divination, and alas! It says this training is totally incompatible with my current star sign. To train now would be to destroy my own path to enlightenment! ...So if you'll excuse me, I'm out!

...

Does this mean the dojo's closed? No class?

The noise of the world is its own kind of training. Though the dojo is closed for now, your inner blade must stay sharp. While you're home for the holidays, I expect you to review the techniques we've covered. I will be testing you when you return.

Homework over the holidays...? Should've just stayed quiet!!

Mr. Hokuraku, your health comes first. If you feel unwell, please let me know.

It's just a bit of noise, harmless to my health. Thank you for your concern, Kazuha.

Maybe you could find some peace out in the suburbs?

I do know of a secluded place. I was planning to go there to clear my mind – just listen to the wind in the bamboo leaves. If you are free, you may come with me.

Ever tried noise-canceling earplugs? I can recommend a good pair.

I appreciate the thought. But true silence isn't what you can't hear – it is what you find within.

It's been snowing, and school's out. The field's totally empty except for this weird Christmas tree that keeps shaking...

Why would they put a Christmas tree on the field when the school is empty? Kinda creepy...

We could come hang out with you, y'know? We're free!

Not practicing today? Wanna hang out?

So that's what he was waiting for!

I knew it! No way he'd post something like that out of the blue.

Ignore them! And uh... yeah, I'd love to!

What about the indoor gym?

Sweet! We can still get a good practice in despite the snow!

Uh... he's hopeless.

Yeah, totally clueless.

What's that supposed to mean?!

Training my stealth arts in the snow.

Ransei, you'll get frostbite if you're in the snow for too long! I've got hand warmers here. Come to the nurse's office and get them!

Thank you, Miss Kisaragi! A ninja's spirit can endure any cold! But... the warmers could keep my kunai from icing up. I'm on my way!

Um... that weird Christmas tree that popped up near the gardening club yesterday... that was you, wasn't it?

How did you spot me?! I was using Stealth Art: Snow Hiding Jutsu! Was it because my uniform isn't the same color as the pine needles?

It was because you kept shaking snow... It was kind of hard to miss...

I should have known. Your stealth is top-tier, but your observation skills are on a whole other level. It is my complete defeat again. However, I'll keep training!

G-go for it...

Even though it's during the holiday, that's still a campus safety violation. You can't do it again.

I object. I didn't damage any school property during my training.

Student safety is campus safety. Report to the student council office after you're done at the nurse's. You'll be copying the campus safety rules.

This high school is a minefield of rules!

Your ninjutsu is already superb. That's enough training for today.

You think so, Master?! All that training was worth it! Let's go shopping after I'm done with those safety rules!

Emergency pause on stealth training! Your next mission is mastering the safety rules!

Master, I'm already reflecting on the way of the ninja while copying the rules!

It's just... could you please bring me some red bean buns? My stomach is about to unleash the Starving Rumble Jutsu!

Holiday Special: The city's largest pub is serving up a new "Biker's Brew." Ride your motorcycle there and get refills on the house! Apparently, a certain tall lady biker suggested it?

So "gotta finish some work" is your code for "live-catchating our group chat"? I'm at the bar. When are you two getting here? [tag]@Chihori Terasaki[/tag] [tag]@Ayane Kisaragi[/tag]

Just a force of habit! Grabbing some B-roll at the door, be right in.

Ugh, still on duty! It's all the principal's fault. He said he saw someone on the school field during the holiday, and now he's making the teachers rotate shifts to keep an eye on things...

It keeps the students safe and makes sure you get your sleep. Sounds like a win-win from the principal.

ARGH! For real! Can't you have some sympathy for a lady who needs to unwind after work? If my life is just work-sleep-repeat, what's the point?!

And of course, the news story ends with drinking again!

It's a rare holiday, gotta relax and leave all that work stress behind. You should come too. I'm dying to do an exciting exclusive interview with {name} on a day like this...

So you're finally deciding to enjoy your holiday?

Wanna join? You don't have to drink. Let's see... Nadeshiko and Ayane are giving me a great scoop right now... Hehe, I promise it'll be entertaining.

Holidays are kinda whatever to me. I just wanna spend New Year's gaming. The only thing remotely interesting is the holiday takeout specials...

Hope your next excuse for ditching class isn't "I pulled an all-nighter gaming and now I'm literally burned."

Go touch grass. You're gonna have the bones of an eighty-year-old before you even hit thirty.

I'll game with you!

You are? Alright, get on.

But if you wanna go out, I guess that's cool too... Feels bad making you waste your whole holiday on me... Just a heads-up, no crowded places.

Any good new takeout specials?

Really, that's what you care about? ...Fine, I'll send you the link. Just don't order the magical girl strawberry sandwich. Total trap.

Ahem. So... you got plans for the holiday?

This place has a new combo for two... Wanna go check it out?

I tried my hand at a few new dishes... Just a little something to show my appreciation...

Whoa, Mai, you're amazing! I can practically smell it through my phone, nyaa!

Th-that's... you're too kind... Maybe next time I go to Mahjong Soul Shrine, I could prepare some for you too, Ichihime?

Quite the menu, but you're missing a key dish, you know!

Oh?! R-really? Please, enlighten me, Miss Kaguyahime...

Hmph! How can it be considered a carefully prepared feast without my Moon Palace lemons? Lucky for you, I have some to spare. I suppose I could bestow them upon you, uhehe!

I see! Thank you, Miss Kaguyahime! I'll come get them right now...!

Food is the quickest way to someone's heart... letting your beloved taste your very soul. From there, things naturally escalate to a more... intense exchange.

M-Miss Onodera, I'm... not really thinking that far ahead yet!

Whoa, this looks incredible!

I'm so happy you like it...

From preparing the ingredients to the final presentation... my heart was focused on just one person. A meal made with this much love... has to be shared with the one who matters most.

I really wanna try some...

Huh? O-of course you can!

I've been practicing in secret, hoping that one day I could finally make a meal you'd love... P-please wait just a moment! I'll bring it to you right away...!

The New Year is upon us. St. Severus's awaits your prayers... What does your heart desire for the coming year? Leave your wish here, keep the faith... and perhaps, it shall come to pass.

Wish for... prey. More. Bigger.

Told you hyenas really don't have a clue! If praying got you prey, what's the point of the hunt?!

...? Giving prey... to {name}... makes me happy. Your wish?

My wish? Duh! To take down tougher prey and become an even better hunter! In fact, let's compete: whoever catches the most impressive prey for {name} is the winner!

Interesting... Challenge... accepted.

For my wish... I want the person I care about most to come watch every one of my performances. That's the only way to make sure I have your heart completely locked down, isn't it? [tag]@{name}[/tag]

Your prayer has been heard, loud and clear. But be careful what you wish for, my child... sometimes, getting exactly what you want is a curse in disguise.

I'm gonna pray! For tons of big hands this year! Like, a Blessing of Heaven on the first game, nyaa!

Not gonna happen, woof... If it did, nobody would ever play mahjong with you again.

Who can say? If your wish is strong enough... maybe you really can change your destiny. Hmm?

More comments hidden

So, like, any wish at all?

Now, now, it might be a tad greedy to expect miracles from St. Severus's like you do from Mahjong Soul Shrine, you know? But since it is your wish, {name}, I'll listen to it with all my heart.

Then my wish is for you, Lily! I hope you find happiness in the new year too!

Hehe, a selfless wish for someone else? The gods will surely hear that... But for my happiness to be complete, I need you to stay by my side, {name}... forever.

One Han City has a special charm during the holidays... But since this is my first New Year's outing with a certain expert guide, I'd rather we go somewhere we haven't visited yet.

Even on holiday, my lady, you must still adhere to all articles of the Code of Noble Etiquette when leaving the premises.

1. Report to the estate upon departure.

2. Maintain noble decorum and family prestige at all times.

More comments hidden

20. Return to the manor in One Han City no later than three hours following the conclusion of the journey.

Argh, Marie, I know, I know...! I've had that whole thing memorized forever!

In that case, have a wonderful time, my lady.

Exactly! Always gotta have a brave heart for exploring the world! Just like George and me, always fired up for an adventure! Let's GO!

Thanks for the encouragement! I really hope I get to see every corner of the world someday, just like you!

I wanna go traveling too, nyaa!

And where would you like to go?

A place with tons of snacks...? No, even better – an all-you-can-eat snack paradise, nyaa!

Sure... but I don't think a trip to the local shopping street really counts as "traveling"...

Hope we're not going someplace super dangerous this time...

It'll be fine as long as you're there, {name}. Plus, I know you'd love to make some heart-pounding memories with me, right?

Got a plan already, Xenia?

Nope, not yet! How about you decide where we go this time? Give me a taste of the unknown!

URGENT HIRING: Temporary Secretary\nStarting pay is 3x the market rate, plus special bonuses for top performance. Strong candidates are encouraged to apply.

Liisa Liisa's here to apply again! I'll be super reliable this time, I swear!

I-I'll try again too! I'll use the calculator real good this time!

That much pay? This job must be a real handful.

{name}, backing out already? Don't be. I know what you can do, you're more than qualified. You can say no, of course... if you don't mind missing the chance to have me owe you one.

But it's still on holiday...

You know Bamboo Cloud's policy on overtime, right? Think of a wish, any wish, and I'll do my best to grant it. You won't regret becoming my personal secretary.

Uhehe! The first godlike masterpiece of the new year is complete! A glorious rabbit snowman, a full 3 meters tall! Its perfect form is modeled on my own divine proportions and height. Tremble before me, you mortals!

Who cares if it's tall, nyaa?! My snowman is STUFFED with yummy snacks! It's way better than that dumb rabbit's, nyaa!

Don't make me laugh, you little shorty. That thing you made... it's just a glorified outdoor freezer!

It's so gorgeous... I want to build one like that at the Temple of Moons, too...

You wish to build a snowman just like MINE? Very well... but only if you support me as the new master of Mahjong Soul Shrine! Uhehe!

That bad rabbit is tricking you! Don't listen to her, Mai. I'll help you build one that's even TALLER, nyaa!

Bickering again. So immature, woof. And for the record, I built a tall, beautiful ramen snowman. That's the REAL snowman of the year, woof.

Wait, is your real form actually that tall, Kaguyahime?

Questioning a deity again? I see what you're doing. You're just trying to get my attention!

Fine. I'll deign to wish you a happy New Year. Now, don't forget to bring lots more offerings this year, you hear me?

This snowman doesn't really look like you tho...

How dare you critique a deity's art! This snowman contains the majestic aura of my true form. It's not for some mortal to judge!

Hmph! But... if you want a closer look, I'll allow it. Aren't you just dying to see what secrets it holds inside? Uhehe!

A rare holiday break... and of course, intel is flying all over the place. Heads-up to everyone in the trade: even with business going through the roof, don't get sloppy with info security. You definitely don't want trouble coming knocking.

Comments on this account are filtered.

Not celebrating, Kutsuji? Wanna go for a walk?

Hmm? I'm swamped when everyone else is off. But since you've been such a good client this year, I'll let you buy my time today. It's yours.

But no trying to get free intel. Business is business. You know the drill, right?

So I guess the intel quality drops around now, huh...

Oh? You aren't doubting my skills, are you?

Wait, are you actually worried about me? Aww, getting this much heat from my top client... I'm tearing up over here, for real.

New year, new vibes at Floating Dreams! Just one "Cloud Step" and I'm up here. Don't I look like a true warrior? [tag]@{name}[/tag], come hang lanterns with me!

It's freezing, and you're out there hanging lanterns? Put on a coat or you'll catch a cold.

I know, Sis. I won't be late for rehearsal, promise!

Good. If you want to nail your part in the new play, you'll need to focus.

Whoa, you're amazing! You can do warrior roles too?

Hehe, it's because I'm rehearsing a new play, Stealing the Immortal Herb! It has a ton of intense fight scenes!

And it's a completely wild adaptation you'll never see coming! Get ready, {name}, this year's opening show is going to be huge!

Coool pose!

Right? That's what you call skill and guts! I can go even higher. {name}, come hold the ladder steady for me!

You're just spoiling her... But I have to admit, the lanterns do look nice. I've got some red paper here with couplets and the "Fu" character ready. Would you mind helping Yuqing paste them up on the main doors of Floating Dreams, {name}?

Didn't expect to run into a fella like this!

Look, not to spoil the mood, but that fox is weak as a kitten. Is your taste in prey seriously this terrible now?

He's a tough hunter, just like me – out here training in the cold. At least he's not stuck at home like someone, right?

Don't move an inch. I'm coming to end this right now! You think you can handle the cold? Ten of you wouldn't match a single hair on my tail!

Look at him, totally at ease... I will bring some candy over for the little guy.

Whoa, hold on! Giving a fox candy will make its fur fall out!

So cute!

R-really?! This ferocious beast is... cute?

Is that how you see me when I'm out hunting, {name}?! Not that I hate it when you call me cute, or anything.

You two better be careful not to catch a cold.

Relax! Foxes are like little furnaces. {name}, wanna hug one and find out? You can pick either one of us!

Sealed by thin ice, the stream still pulses silently below, singing a secret chorus with the falling snow... Winter in One Han City is like silver bells ringing in the wind, crisp and lively. A season so vibrant... I long to compose a song for it.

A stunning simile! I know you turned down my offer for a regular column, but these lines... Could I use them for the intro of our next issue? I'll pay the highest rate possible, what do you say?

I cannot take the credit. It's not that my words are special, but the city itself flows like poetry... Since it is a gift from nature, please, use it as you wish.

Whoa, man! That description was cinematic! You know what? My next adventure show is gonna be a One Han City Winter Special! You gotta be my special guest!
