RIKO-SAN.

[S-sorry, she doesn't realize she's shouting, but! SHE DOES SEEM EXCITED ABOUT SOMETHING?]

D-Dia-san?!

[ A familiar voice in her head is welcome even if it catches her completely off guard. And even if it's so loud. So loud that she forgets to point it out. ]

Did something happen...?

Did you know there are other idols here?!

[Dia is going to kill Riko before this is over with.]

[ Ah, she's still shouting. Should Riko tell her—there's no point. This is about idols. ]

Other idols? Really? Could it be that they're kidnapping the idols who are aiming for Love Live...?

[ That's...definitely an interesting hypothesis. Even if it's totally buu buu desu wa. ]

I don't think so. Eva-san and his idol unit are already debuted. They have lengthy amounts of experience over us.

[Though.....it's exciting!]

Riko-san, do you think this means that other could possibly turn up?

T-They're real idols?!

[ Finally, a more lively reaction from Riko. Who in the world would dare to kidnap real idols?! ]

I think it might be possible...but at the same time, I feel bad for getting my hopes up. This place is dangerous...

I couldn't imagine Ruby or Hanamaru-san faring well here.

This seems more like something Yoshiko-chan would like, right? With the powers and the magic...and the strange unfamiliar world.

[An audible sigh, and it seems that Dia unknowingly turned down the volume of her voice?]

Eva-san and his group are real idols though, yes. Though they are still receiving education... they are debuted and successful.

She would love it here, probably. Especially if she was granted a power connected with darkness.

[ Unbelievable. This sentence really came out of her mouth. Unbelievable. ]

That's amazing...I hope we can get along. I'd love to see Eva-san perform, too.

[ Given how loud she was just a moment a go, Riko can only imagine how excited Dia had been after encountering a real idol. ]

Dia-san...I know we're not really close, but I'm glad you're here with me.

Please, I don't want to think about that. Yoshiko-san being given any sort of power....

[Please god don't let Yoshiko really believe she is Yohane.]

Riko-san... I am glad you are here as well, I don't know if I could have handled this situation alone, truthfully.

It would be a disaster. An utter disaster.

[ Riko can be savage too! She looks up to her council president senpai. ]

I'm not happy to be here, if I may be honest. But...just maybe. I was thinking...that maybe this can help us grow? If we don't end up killed by wild boars, I mean.

[ She could've just skipped that last comment and save it to herself and yet. ]

We won't end up killed by wild boars. We...we just have to show them who is boss, right?! We won't let them get the best of us.

[BIG WORDS, DIA.]

S-Show them who is the boss? How exactly are we supposed to do that?

[ Riko is actually scared of hearing the answer. ]

Obviously we put our foot down, Riko-san!

Dia-san, I don't think it's a good idea...we really need to go back in one piece. Not in thousands of pieces...

[ Someone's dramatizing. ]

Surely we wouldn't let that happen to us, Riko-san....

[Dia tried, she...really really tried.]

[Yusuke actually didn't draw Riko anything! He instead went back to the art supply store he spent most of his credits in and bought a set of colored pencils and a pad, as well as a small trunk to store them in for Riko. He doesn't bother hiding his identity, but he does sign the card as "Yusuke Kitagawa (your secret Santa)".]

[ In front of the door to her room in their apartment, Riko will find a little box that has a neatly written card saying "Love, DEATH CHRONOS (Mio Yamanobe)". It's a little box of chocolate and vanilla cookies. She may have spotted him busy in the kitchen at some point making them. They're shaped like bats and coffins and crosses because he's edgy like that. But they should taste alright! He worked really hard on them at least! If she doesn't like them, he'll just have to curse her. ]

[ Riko will find some gifts from Sophie left at the front door of her apartment...

...

It's the romance book Riko was staring at in the book store and a second book that has a cover illustration by the same artist!

Simple knit book cover included, except in the color pink. A note with Sophie's shaky handwriting is included: "Thank you for teaching me how to read. -Sophie" Don't worry... she didn't read the romance books. They're too difficult. ]

Y-Yusuke-san?

[ Will she ever get used to this form of communication and why not. Her voice is a bit shaky, but Riko will shape up in a while. ]

Thank you so much for the gift! I'd like to give you something too, if you don't mind.

[ Sometime later, Riko will knock at the door to Mio's room. She has eaten some of the cookies, but there are still some of them left, so why shouldn't she share them with him? Besides...she has something for him, too. ]

H-Hello? May I come in?

[ SOPHIE...thank god. You don't need to take after Riko.

As for the knit book cover, she hasn't seen anything like it before, but she finds it cute! She's definitely going to use it on the other book because the cover illustration is quite...telling. ]

You don't have to, Riko-san! I was happy to buy you a gift for Christmas.

I insist. There must be something that you'd like to get.

More art supplies--I can never have enough, and I did get a trunk to keep them in when we return to the island--if you insist?

[ He's not expecting anyone at his door, so he's a little suspicious when he opens it. It even shows in his expression. Though it does soften up a little once he realizes who it is. It's just one of his roommates, and she's not that bad either. So it's fine. ]

Yes, I suppose you can enter. [ He moves out of the way and opens the door up. ] Come in!
