Story Reader / Festival Event Story / Night on Christmas / Story
The severe winter in the far north approaches on the edge of the night sky, but the snowflakes have yet to arrive.
Tonight will usher in Christmas Eve. Everyone who has just completed the recon mission waits in anticipation...
Everyone in Gray Raven is looking to enjoy the festivity in the air.
They also hope that everything in the plan can go smoothly.
This is their first Christmas Eve.
Commandant...!
Commandant, may I take a moment of your time? There is something I want to discuss with you.
Thank you, Commandant!
Honestly, I'm not quite sure...
But everyone has been... acting weird toward me recently...
(Static)
Commandant, is everything going okay?
Someone needs to talk with you? Is it Liv...?
...The plan was for you to take the initiative and find her. The next step is the most crucial part.
Plan B, Commandant. Take Liv to the target location to begin the first phase.
Beep—
Commandant?
As I was saying...
It seems like everyone is avoiding me.
I'm not! I have proof!
Lucia's been running around a lot recently. I tried saying hi to her several times, but she ran away like she was avoiding me.
Lee did the same thing. Whenever I used to go to Lee to repair my attachments, he'd always patiently share all kinds of ways to help maintain my equipment.
But recently, he's always saying he's too busy. It's like he doesn't even want to see me...
So I've been wondering if everyone is upset with me because I've been delaying our mission.
You can be honest with me, Commandant.
I know I have a lot of room for improvement. I need to try harder and learn more.
Really...?
I really like everyone in Gray Raven. So, I'm afraid of losing you all...
Understood, Commandant. Thank you.
...Also. I have something else I wanted to ask of you.
I hope you continue to keep an eye on me. I want you to give me guidance whenever I make a mistake, so I can show you that I'm getting stronger.
Okay... Thank you, Commandant, for finding some time in your busy schedule to speak with me.
Huh? Um, yeah... The architecture is really different here. I hadn't really noticed.
...But there are still Corrupted roaming around...
I'll keep you safe, Commandant.
And... with you here... I can relax, too.
Huh?!
(Static)
Are you ready yet over there, Lee?
We've hit a snag. Who came up with using White Kuroro as a contingency plan?
(Static)
Super-duper cute Nanami! That's who! Since it SOMEHOW isn't snowing in December, how else are we gonna create such beautiful snow? The plan's perfect!
I should've known...
Aren't I the best? Hehehe!
Need help, Lee?
Just a few minor issues. Nothing that'll get in my way. The snow will fall right on cue.
Oh, hey! Didn't you ask Karenina for help, too?
I wanna go play with Karenina. I'm bored here. I wanna see if there's anything new and exciting going on over there!
Beep—
(Sighs) Finally, I can work in peace.
(Static)
Hey! You guys! Don't pass your problems off to me—!
Someone as tiny as Nanami should be easy to take care of with your long-ranged arsenal, right?
Dang it...! You little—! Fine... I'll think of a way to get out of this mess...!
Karenina! Karenina! Your favorite lil' Nanami is here to play!
How'd you get here so fast?! Lucia, I gotta terminate the call. I'll contact you when I'm up to bat—
Beep—
...Well, Lee, the commandant is near the scheduled location. It's your time to shine.
Roger. Time to turn this place into a winter wonderland with some Kuroro Cog snow. In a sense, I guess it really does need to shine.
I will relay the sit rep in each area. Hurry up.
