Is there Kamen Rider 01 in Date Away?

While comforting himself in this way, Shiori walked into the elevator that went up to the eighth floor where the Yamai sisters were.

--split line--

"Xixian, when do you think Santa Claus will arrive?"

"I don't know. But according to reliable information, Santa Claus will come down the chimney to give gifts to good children. So all we have to do is guard the fireplace. Are you asking this because you want to go to sleep?"

"Kukukuk, how is that possible? I won't sleep until I catch Santa Claus. Let's play Dragon Knight Hunter Z next."

"Understood. Then Xixian will accompany you to the end."

Hearing the conversation between the Yamai sisters, Shiori's forehead was covered with cold sweat. He didn't expect that these two sisters who were too energetic had not slept and even had such a weird idea of ​​capturing Santa Claus alive.

"What should I do..." Shiori covered his head in distress. Looking at the situation of those two people, it was estimated that if they couldn't wait for Santa Claus, they would probably fight in front of the game console until dawn.

By the way, the Yamai sisters knew about Santa Claus earlier than Tohka and Yoshino. Although their definition of Santa Claus has been misunderstood as "a pervert who crawls in through the chimney and does indecent things to girls", they still had the idea of ​​capturing Santa Claus alive.

So Ratatosk granted their wishes and added a fireplace and an old-fashioned chimney to their room in half an hour.

Then, two people tried to use the fireplace to keep warm, which almost led to the achievement of "Carbon monoxide killing two elves alone".

Therefore, the fireplace has not been cleaned of ashes yet. If Santa Claus really wants to crawl into this chimney, it would be a bit too pitiful.

However, rather than worrying about whether someone would come in through the chimney, Shiori was more concerned about how to pass by this pair of "Santa Claus hunters" to deliver gifts to their bedroom.

"How about I make some noise to attract their attention, Xiaozhi, and you take the opportunity to give them gifts?"

"Well, this is the only way."

However, just as Lingyin was about to go to the other end of the corridor to make some noise, a crashing sound suddenly came from outside the window.

"Woo!" Shizhi, who had been frightened by those strange and scary things before, immediately became nervous.

"Santa Claus!"

"Move out. Capture Santa!"

Just now, a person wearing red clothes and carrying a cloth bag flashed past the window, and the Yami sisters jumped out of the window and ran after Santa Claus.

"Now!" Shiori hurried to the room of the Yamai sisters and stuffed the silver necklace that Yakuya wanted and the digital camera that Yui wanted into their Christmas stockings.

"Phew, let's go to Miku's room next. Hopefully she's asleep."

However, Shizhi also began to become curious about the "Santa Claus" outside the window just now. It should be other neighbors dressed as Santa Claus.

[No! This is the eighth floor! Can a normal human come up here without any tools!? ]

Shizhi realized that something was wrong and immediately became nervous. At this moment, with a thud, something fell from the chimney into the closet, and the accumulated coal ash inside immediately raised black smoke.

"Cough cough cough...What is that, is it a bird?" Shizhi opened his eyes, only to see the creature covered in coal ash in the fireplace stretching out a bandaged hand!

“Ahhhhh——!”

Shiori couldn't stand it anymore and ran to the ninth floor screaming. Is today Christmas or the Ghost Festival?

--split line--

Shizhi originally planned to give Miku a gift first, but Miku's room was empty. Although he had seen many scary things before, Shizhi still vaguely knew where Miku was now.

Arriving at Nana Sin's room, Shiori reluctantly opened Nana Sin's quilt looking at her expression as if she had had a nightmare, and saw Miku curled up in Nana Sin's quilt with a look of bliss on her face.

Even Miku seemed to be worried that Shiori would not give out gifts because she was not in the room, so she was very "thoughtful" and brought her own wish card and Christmas stockings here.

Nanashi scribbled and revised the wish card, and finally erased it all as if she had given up on herself. However, Shiori used the light of the flashlight to identify that the last thing Nanashi erased was the "makeup tools."

This was not a difficult task for Ratatosk. Shiori quickly stuffed a complete set of makeup guides, toner, lipstick, foundation and other cosmetics into Nanako's Christmas stocking.

However, Miku's wish card made Shiori a little troubled.

"I want a recording of Darling and Shiori-chan sleeping with me (each playing at least three roles)", Miku's wish card reads.

Not only did Shiori feel a little shy about recording a sleeping companion, but more importantly, Manren wasn't here right now. Even though there were elves, Miku was the only one who received half of the gifts, and even though she knew there was really no Santa Claus in the world, it was still a little pitiful.

"Xiaozhi, the script is ready."

"So fast?"

Looking at the recording equipment that Reine had set up, Shiori could only clear his throat and begin to recite the lines.

"You...are you asleep? Why are you so happy? It's not like I'm deliberately caring about you."

"Don't say such things! Baka! Hentai!"

"If you really want this... it's not impossible..."

"Sister, I want to spend an unforgettable night with you!"

"Really? I'll be looking after you from now on, onee-sama!"

"I will always love you, onee-sama!"

After dubbing the tsundere character and the fangirl character, I couldn't record the last weak character, Shiori, to make her look like she was about to cry.

“I can’t do it…”

After countless NGs, Shiori lowered his head helplessly. However, as he lowered his head, he actually saw a hand reaching out from under Nanashi's bed!

【! ! ! 】

Shizhi hurriedly shone the flashlight under the bed, but could not see any person. The feeling of unknown fear once again enveloped Shizhi's heart.

[I can’t stand it anymore. I can’t take it anymore…]

In extreme fear, Shiori was almost crying, but even in this situation, Shiori recorded very good results.

Chapter 14 True Love Christmas (Part )

On a deserted street late at night with a cold wind, Kurumi, who was wearing a short skirt and a Santa Claus costume, was confronting the Kamen Rider in front of her, who was covered in blood.

The blood-red Kamen Rider stretched out his hand to Kuang San, and Kuang San was ready to summon angels to fight a fierce battle with the opponent at any time.

“Kekeke…”

"Merry Christmas."

"Eh?" The other party's sudden "Merry Christmas" left Kuang San confused.

"I wanted to go to Origami's house to give her a gift, but she disappeared and it was a wasted trip. I happened to run into you, so it was worth the trip."

However, the other party didn't seem to care about Kuang San's confusion. He handed her a gift while talking to himself.

And Kuang San looked at the gift that the other party handed over, but did not take it but stared at the other party blankly - the overly unexpected development made her unable to understand the current situation.

"It's me, it's me." Seeing Kuang San's dull expression, the other party took off his mask. And this Kamen Rider with a fierce look on his face turned out to be Zhen Lian!

"Mr. Zhenlian?" Kuang San looked at Zhenlian with a frown, "I didn't expect that Mr. Zhenlian would have the habit of walking around on the deserted streets in strange clothes. Do you want to be a performance artist?"

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you qualified to say that to me? Aren't you dressed strangely yourself?" Although Zhenlian did not deny that his current behavior was indeed very much performance art, he just didn't want to be lectured by Miss Santa who was wearing a miniskirt in the cold wind.

"It's all because of those troublesome clones." Kuang San sighed, "But what's wrong with you, Mr. Zhenlian..."

"Kamen Rider 01 Santa Claus version, but there is no green paint, so I painted it all red. The bright red paint is sold out, so I used dark red to make do." As she said this, Shinren wiped off a small portion of the red paint, revealing the original fluorescent yellow color of the sublimated locust form.

"You are not Santa Claus, you are Satan Claus!" Kurumi suddenly felt that the only person who could force her to become a complainer, apart from her own off-line clones, was probably Shinren.

"In that case, how about letting us help Mr. Zhenlian dress up, hehehe..."

"I agree. It's not often that I get the chance to use Mr. Zhenlian as a changing doll."

"Hehehe, it was a pity that I didn't bully Miss Maaya properly during the Tianyang Festival last time. Now I can finally make up for it."

At this moment, the shadow under Kuang San's feet suddenly grew larger, and several clones of Kuang San crawled out from the shadow, staring at Zhen Lian with eager eyes.

"Hey, hey, hey, it's not fun to be a male changing doll! Kuang San, save me!" Zhen Lian was quickly sent into a deserted alley by a group of Kuang San's clones like they were transporting goods. Zhen Lian could only struggle and call for help.

"Since Mr. Zhenlian has seen me in such an embarrassing state, I will not let you leave in vain. So please satisfy us as much as possible~?"

"Help! Help!"

--split line--

After leaving Kuang San's avatar, Shinrei came to the Elf Apartment and took the elevator to the fourth floor where Tohka was. Shinrei looked at her outfit and sighed - the base was prepared by Japanese-style Kuang San, a Santa Claus-style haori with red and white as the main colors; the outer coat was prepared by eye mask Kuang San, with roses and skulls printed on the basis of Santa Claus clothes; the hat was prepared by Lolita Kuang San, which seemed to be a top hat that matched her outfit very well, and there was no sense of Christmas at all; as for the bandages, Kuang San had wrapped a lot of bandages with inscriptions of unknown meaning on Shinrei's arms under her clothes.

[I really don’t want anyone to see me like a stitched monster. ]

When she came to Tohka's bedroom, she saw Tohka kicking the quilt away as soon as she entered the room. Shinren couldn't help but laugh: "Tohka is really like a child."

After covering Tohka with the blanket, Manre saw Tohka's wish card: "Do you want a hamburger steak you've never seen before? Great, just as she said."

Shinrei's Santa Claus operation is absolutely secretive, even the people of Ratatosk and Shiori don't know about it. After all, if they know, Shinrei won't be able to surprise Kotori and Shiori. In order to prevent sending the wrong things, Shinrei also asked people indirectly what gifts they wanted, and put small things that people might like into her gift bag.

Since Tohka wanted hamburger steak, it was necessary to borrow the kitchen of the Elf Apartment. After arriving in the kitchen, Shinren quickly started working.

"It's so hot."

The elf apartment was heated, and Zhenlian was still wearing a thick coat next to the pot that was spreading heat. After a while, he was sweating profusely. After silently praying to the gods in his heart that no elves would come to eat supper, Zhenlian took off his heavy coat, put on an apron, drank a bottle of iced soda to replenish sugar, and planned to put the remaining minced meat back into the refrigerator.

However, Zhenlian accidentally stepped on a banana peel that a little foodie had carelessly dropped on the ground, and came into close contact with the table.

Not only that, the minced meat and kitchen knife on the table also fell to the ground due to the vibration.

"This is terrible... This is so troublesome to clean up." Zhenlian said in annoyance as she looked at the minced meat on the ground.

However, just as Shinren picked up the kitchen knife, she heard the voices of Shiori and Reine talking on the stairs.

【Crap!】

It was too late to hide now. Shinren didn't want Shizhi to see him secretly acting as Santa Claus, and such a funny Santa Claus. Shinren, desperate, could only take out a mask from the gift bag and put it on his face, then closed his eyes and waited for Shizhi to recognize him.

However, Shiori did not ask "Mare-kun, what are you doing?" as Mare had imagined. Instead, he glanced at Mare and hid away.

[Eh? What is she doing? ]

Just when Manren was about to ask Shiori what was wrong, the carbon dioxide in the soda rebounded and Manren burped very loudly.

"Sorry, I drank too much soda just now." Manren apologized and walked towards the stairs, but did not see Shiori.

"How weird. Did I see a ghost?" Shinren scratched her head but didn't think much about it. After getting dressed, she took the elevator to the fourth floor and put the hamburger patties wrapped in plastic wrap into Tohka's Christmas stocking.

The next one is Shion's room. Looking at Shion and Shion's wishes, Manre is in a dilemma - Manre can still help Shion want a hat, but the size of Shion's new clothes is not in the gift Manre has.

In that case, Manren had no choice but to DIY a set herself. After measuring Yoshina's size, Manren went to the handicraft room and started working.

“It hurts… it hurts! Hiss…”

Although Shiona's gift was ready, Manreon's hands were clumsy because she hadn't done needlework for a long time, and Manreon's hands were pricked by the needle and bleeding profusely.

"Go to the bathroom, wash the wound, and then bandage it." Shinren pushed open the door. Although Bandage Kurumi was one of the culprits who made Shinren wear such strange clothes, it has to be admitted that the bandages she gave her came in handy.

However, what Manren didn't know was how much psychological trauma the bloody handprint she just left on the door would bring to Shiori.

The Yamai sisters knew that Santa Claus came in through the chimney, and Ratatosk even built a chimney for the Yamai sisters' room to allow Santa Claus to enter their boudoirs more easily.

[In that case, let's experience the work of a guy who only works one day a year. ]

After confirming that the Yami sisters were attracted away by something unknown, Shinren crawled into the chimney.

However, the environment inside the chimney was not as good as Zhenlian had imagined. There were spider webs, coal ash and all kinds of dirty things everywhere. If there was another chance, Zhenlian would rather go dig a hot spring with Kanbutsuki than get into this life-threatening chimney.

He finally slid into the fireplace, but got a mouthful of ashes. However, as soon as he opened his eyes, he met Shiori's eyes.

[Shiori, give me a hand...]

However, as soon as Shinren stretched out his hand, Shiori immediately screamed and ran away, pulling Reine, who was wearing a moose costume.

"Ah... my back... I have to go fix the window in my room that is about to break. No wonder Santa Claus only works one day a year. It's really terrible..."

Looking at Shiori's running back, Zhenlian helplessly got up and shrugged her shoulders, then put the gifts for the Yamai sisters into their Christmas stockings.

Perhaps because Shiori stayed somewhere for a little longer, Shinren arrived at Nanashi's room before Shiori. However, just as he was about to put the cosmetics in the Christmas stockings into Nanashi's bedside, the door of Nanashi's room opened.

[Oh no! Someone is coming! Is there any place to hide? ]

The panicked Shinren initially planned to hide in Nanashi's bed, but when she opened it, she found the idol who was holding Nanashi with a silly smile on his face.

[I knew it... I'm sorry, Nanashi. I can't save myself now and can't save you.]

After repenting in her heart for not being able to save Nanashi from her yuri nightmare, Zhenlian crawled directly under Nanashi's bed.

"You...are you asleep? Why are you so happy? It's not like I'm deliberately caring about you."

Hearing Shiori pretending to be a tsundere, Manren roughly knew what Miku's wish was. Then Manren silently turned on the recorder and prepared to use it as her own sleeping recording.

However, just as Shinren was gradually becoming overwhelmed by sleepiness, Shiori stopped and even dropped the microphone to the ground.

[Have I been exposed? I absolutely cannot let Shiori see me like this. 】
