Santa's morning is early. |
Shibuya |
"Udon-chan~!" |
Udon Thani |
"Yes♪" |
Shibuya |
"Goshujin~!" |
Conductor |
I'm here. |
Udon Thani |
"[Shibuya] anego~!" |
Shibuya |
"Yes yes yees~!" |
Conductor |
You only have to say 'yes' once. Anyway - it looks like we're all here. |
Shibuya |
"Of course, Goshujin! Shibuya-san is a gangsta, so she fully approves of the evil shady corporate customs of no tardiness and no absence! She will work until she dies without ever complaining, even if she doesn't get paid!" |
Udon Thani |
"That's what I'm talk about~, Anego! A good girl instead of a baddie on the contrary...!" |
Conductor |
Enough of the chatter. You've got plenty of work to do today, don't you? |
Shibuya |
"Of course! Today she's going to be like Santa and hand out presents to all the good kids in the country~!" |
Udon Thani |
"Anego! I just have a question!" |
Shibuya |
"Yes? What is it, Udon-chan!? She've just been scolded for wasting time talking, but Shibuya-san is a baddie girl and will repeat the same mistakes!" |
Udon Thani |
"That's what I'm talk about, Anego~♪" |
Udon Thani |
"Eh um? Oh~, I forgot what I want to ask of you~♪" |
Shibuya |
"Don't worry! Just take your time and remember! There's no need to rush, Shibuya-san is good at waiting!" |
Udon Thani |
"So sweet♪ Ummm, uuhh...?" |
Udon Thani |
"Oh, I remember now~! [Shibuya] Anego is a bad girl, but is it okay for you to do good things like give gifts to everyone?" |
Shibuya |
"But of course! Shibuya-san is Santa-san, right?" |
Shibuya |
"Speaking of Santa-san! He trespasses into houses all over the place without permission, leaves presents under children's pillows and leaves, a trespasser!" |
Shibuya |
"To be honest, is such a suspicious person a good kid? Is he a baddie?" |
Udon Thani |
"Ah! H-he's a baddie...!" |
Shibuya |
"Right? That's why it's okay, UNDERSTAND?" |
Udon Thani |
"Understaaan~♪" |
Conductor |
I'm glad you two are getting on so well. But I really hope you girls hurry up, both of you. |
Conductor |
The extreme weather has caused heavy snowfalls all over the world and logistics have almost come to a standstill. In some countries, politics are paralysed and the situation is quite dire. |
Udon Thani |
"That's right~ My country, Flamarine, is usually warm, and everyone is fall down in flurry because they can't stand the cold~" |
Shibuya |
"What the heck is this~ this heavy snow... Even asked Chitose obaa-san, who has lived a long time about this, and she said she's never seen anything like this in her life." |
Conductor |
Naturally, governments all over the world and we of the SSS are doing the utmost to investigate the cause. But while there is no solution in sight, people still have to make a living. |
Shibuya |
"Woosh! It's Shibuya-san's role to protect those lives!" |
Conductor |
That's right. Of course, I'm the one running the Mist Train at full capacity, delivering supplies to the whole world. |
Shibuya |
"Shibuya-san and the gang also act as delivery companies, delivering supplies to places where the tracks don't run! And with only one Train, we wouldn't be able to handle them all!" |
Conductor |
That's very true. If we keep the Train running continuously, we get tired and in the worst case scenario, we die. That's why we've been given the last few days off. |
Shibuya |
"So yer going to work for our company even though yer on holiday...? That's Goshujin after all, yer really cool! Too much of a corporate livestock!" |
Conductor |
In the midst of a global crisis, I can't just lie around quietly. |
Udon Thani |
"Cool~, Sir [Conductor] is so great~♪" |
Shibuya |
"Udon-chan is great too! This is how ya work ya!" |
Udon Thani |
"Ehehe, thank you very much~♪" |
Shibuya |
"Oops! Goshujin will get mad again if we keep chatting! Let's hurry up and finish our departure prep, we're especially busy today!" |
Udon Thani |
"Tomorrow is Kurisumasu! We have to deliver gifts to all the good children in the world today, don't we?" |
Shibuya |
"Exactly! In fact, we're in a difficult situation right now - But that's when we should do something wonderful to make everyone feel happy!" |
Udon Thani |
"That's what I'm talk about~, Anego! Even though everyone look so gloomy! You're a baddie who doesn't read the room...!" |
Shibuya |
"That's how it is! You're starting to understand, the gangsta style!" |
Udon Thani |
"Ehehe~♪" |
Conductor |
Come to think of it, the relationship of the two of you is also a mystery. You're both from different countries - I didn't get the impression that you were particularly close before. |
Shibuya |
"Hmm well. Udon-chan was hired a few days ago as a part-timer at this delivery company run by Otou-san." |
Shibuya |
"Shibuya-san here was working for this company before that, so she was assigned to train her as a member of the same team. So, well, became friends in a normal way." |
Udon Thani |
"Yes, thank you very much for your help~♪" |
Shibuya |
"Thanks to Udon-chan, we can make groundbreaking deliveries, so it's good! It's like a win-win situation!" |
Conductor |
Groundbreaking delivery...? |
Shibuya |
"Now now, the snowmobile is ready! Everybody get into position!" |
Udon Thani |
"Rajah~!" |
Shibuya urged me to get into the snowmobile with her. At the rear of the snowmobile was a container with a generous amount of cargo attached to it. |
Udon Thani |
"Udoooon~! Santa II, all ready!" |
Shibuya |
"Santa I is ready too!" |
Conductor |
So I am Santa III? I'm ready too. |
Shibuya |
"Yes, sir! Now let's go, YO~SOROOO~!" |
Udon Thani |
"DES NANOOOOOOO~......☆" |
Right at the moment Udon Thani sat on top of the snowmobile and shouted happily, we were lifted into the air by the huge container. |
