Episode 1: The Santa at that day and time
Location: Shinjuku

---Every time when you're mad,
you'll say that like a habit.

Santa will not come,
for a naughty boy like you.

Some time later, I gave up being a "nice" kid.
Because, Santa never came at all.

A "naughty" boy like me should---


......

What's the matter, Youl?
We're still in the middle of Santa Marathon?

Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Principal.
It's nothing.

......




A clear fine afternoon.

Ryouta and [Player] decided to do some shopping,
and now walking along the retail street after class.

Yawn~~
I'm so tired after class......

That's why, we should get something to eat!
Buying something to eat after school is a student privilege afterall!

Cakes are tempting, ice-cream is nice too.
The new Hawaiian pancake place is also something you can't miss.

There's too much and I can't choose.
What do you want to eat, [Player]?


1 option
......

Oi~, [Player]?
What are you doing there, standing like a wood.

Oh, you found a delicious looking restaurant?
Where is it?

---Hmm?
Those big horns over there......

......

Ah-, it IS Youl.
Your big horns are so easy to recognize!

Ryouta! [Player] too.
Merry Christm---I mean, good afternoon.

It's been a while isn't it.
Are both of you doing well?

Yep, as well as you can see!
I'm enjoying every meal and growing my happy belly!

You haven't changed a bit.
If you're concerned about your weight, do you want to join the Santa training?

I will need to refuse politely!
I don't really know, but the name already says how hard it is!

Youl:(shock face)
I-I don't think it's that hard.
How are you doing too, [Player]?


3 options
It's been a while. I'm fine thank you. I went through numerous sleepless nights missing you.

That's good to hear.
Doing well is great for everyone.

E-eh!? T-that's......?
You missed me, that much......?


Hey, Youl. Do you have time?
Do you want to have some desserts with us?

As much as I want to join you two......
I'm sorry. Allow me to refuse for today.

What's wrong?
Is there something troubling you?

Eh, how did you know!?

Because Youl, everytime when you are troubled,
your nostrils starts to twitch. Did you notice?

You should've told me this earlier!
When did it start......it's so embarrassing.

So?
What's bothering you?

......I'm no match for Ryouta.
You never draw back in these situations.

Do you remember this bag?
Back from Christmas---

Youl drew out a big white bag,
and showed it to the two.


2 options
It's Santa's present bag...... It's a big white garbage bag......

I'm glad that you remember it.
It was a big mess by that time wasn't it.

Of course I remember it.
Being a deputy Santa is something I can't forget even if I want to.

NO!?
It's not a garbage bag ok!?


This is the "sacred treasure" of our Principal, Ded Moroz.
The big white bag, symbol of Santa Claus.

But, it's not even Christmas,
why are you carrying it?

Did you......
Don't tell me you've taken it out without consent again, Youl.....?

N-no! It's not like this......
Mr. Principal lent it to me.

Remember back at Christmas I cannot fully
utilize my "sacred treasure's" power?

After that Mr. Principal has told me to carry it day by day,
and think of how to use the "sacred treasure".

But Mr. Ded will need the bag,
in order to fulfill his "role" as a Santa isn't it?

It's impressive he lend it to you,
even when it's so important to him.

I'm also worried so I asked,
but he said "I can only use it on Christmas Eve anyways"......

But I think this should have some meaning to it.
"Something" in order to become a great Santa Claus.


3 options
Then you have to work harder. He doesn't seem to be a person lending out something without reason...... Is Mr. Principal doing well by the way?

Yes, that's what I'm aiming for too.
I'll try my best as not to let Mr. Principal down!

He pushed himself too hard with the students yesterday......
Now his lower back pain worsened, and is still resting.

He's been lectured by vice principal, "You're not young anymore,
so stop using your full energy and run the Marathon with the students."


But, why are you here,
standing in the middle of the road in the first place?

If I was Youl, and borrowed this amazing bag,
I'm sure I will want to put it to good use right?

Ah, yes......
I have heaps that I want to do but......

......Everything seems uncertain now.
Even when I was so proactive back at Christmas.

Is something bugging you? Mind to share it?
Or do you want a chocolate crepe first?

Umm, actually......
please don't laugh at me and listen.




......Recently,
although only from time to time, I can feel someone is staring at me.

---Hmm.
What an interesting conversation you're having here.

I sensed it again while I was running the marathon......
Although I wasn't harmed, I'm just a bit concerned.

Heh-. There are always kids
finding Youl for presents.

If that's the case then it's a good timing!
Wouldn't it be nice if you become Santa and give him presents?

  • Nod nod*

But, the strange thing is......
There's nobody when I turn around.

Eh, what is this. A ghost story?
I'm not good at this to be honest.

......I see.

Maybe there is something to do with
the bag Mr. Principal lent me......


1 option
......

Did the number of people just increased naturally!?
A bear and a primary schooler to be exact!

Erm......eh!?
Kenta-kun and, Mr. bear?

We were just passing by,
and happened to see you all talking.

Long time no see.
It was since Christmas when we met Youl.

Barguest:(smile face)
Thanks for your help,
to both Kenta and I, back then.

No problem, it's a nice experience for me as well.
Good afternoon to you too, Kenta-kun. And you too Inugami.

G-good afternoon......
Inugami too, say hello to Mr. Santa.

Inugami waved its tail,
as it popped up from Kenta's ransel.

The two of you together......going for a stroll?
It's a nice weather today. A perfect Santa say!

Santa day?
What kind of day is that!

We have business around here.
Passing through here is just a coincidence.

The conversation you just had......
There are places that interests me.

---Reindeer Santa.
Did you feel you're being watched at multiple places?

I was in the middle of Santa Marathon then,
so there where several places, what's the matter?

I'm sorry, but can you show me those places?
The reason---I'll explain as we move.




With Youl's guidance,
the crew walked to the several places Youl has felt being watched.

Barguest slowly started to explain
as they were walking along the way.



Near the river

Remember what happened at that Christmas night.
When we first met, you were attacked by Ghosts.

Kenta and Inugami were able
to hold off them at that time, but---


School grounds

---the "core" which controls the Ghosts
were nowhere to be found.

Umm, the Ghost's "core"......what is that?

Oh right, I have to start explaining from there.

There are different types of Ghosts. For example,
one type is where you lose your body but keeping your soul and ego.

The second type is, born at a place where you call the underworld,
a "so called living being" which and entirely made up of spiritual matter.

The third type is, where one lost their body and ego,
and left as fragments of emotions in this world.

Like those forgotten fragments when you wipe a cassette tape, leaving as irregular recordings.
Think of it as something like a noise.

......Excuse me, what is a cassette tape?

Y-you don't know what is a cassette tape?
Right, it's the new generation......!

Hmm, nevermind.
Let's continue the talk......ahem.

For this time, it is the first case,
where the spirit lost its body but---

That kind of Ghost was an unstable existence to begin with.
If it cannot retain its ego, it will doomed to vanish.

However in rare cases, it didn't vanish and continue to linger---
A Ghost which still hold it's ego.


Park

Obsessed with something, or regrets to this world.
Although different reasons, the Ghost will form a "core"---

The thoughts will lure and absorb other spirits---
And soon, become a powerful cluster of Ghosts.

Because of my unfortunate condition, I can attract Ghosts easily.
I act as a decoy to capture them all at once but......


Streets

It was a bit different when back at Christmas.
It was coming for Youl instead of me.

So, why do you think the Ghosts
were aiming for Youl?

The target was---Santa's big bag.
Attracted by it's magical power, I assume that is why they attacked you.

They were trying to snatch Santa Claus' big bag......
and turn it as their own.


Forest

Youl.
You said someone was staring you isn't it.

Was it when, you received Santa's bag?
It was only a theory---

What if the escaped "core" from that time,
was attracted again by the bag---


Library

Setting things aside, isn't the travelling distance a bit too far!?
My legs are killing me already!

The Santa Marathon was a bit long......
T-the next stop is the last one.


Alleyway

......Ah.

As the crew arrived at an alleyway,
Kenta's Inugami has made a reaction.

......Uncle Bear.
Inugami is growling.

Ah.
So they're hiding in this alley.

Why, I can feel the chill down my spine......!
Where is this coming from......

Y-yea.
That's what we felt from Christmas......


1 option
---Youl, back down!

Suddenly, there was a freezing current of air flowing
from the end of the alleyway.

It wasn't actually cold air.
It was the flow of spirits.

Uwa......! This feeling......!
It's so cold! Also......I feel sick......!

GUAAAAAAAAA!!

The ominous power twisted the space into a spiral,
and formed into something that is indescribable by words.

The huge irregular being entwined itself around the ominous power,
and started to attack.

There it stands---

Come, Inugami.
It's time for a meal.

Inugami.
Let's eat.

Inugami, who flew out from Kenta's ransel,
swallowed the growing being in one gulp.

......We've finished eating.

Not talking too much was not enough to explain the situation,
The whole crew fell into silence.

......

W-what just happened......?
Kenta's Inugami just......snapped up......!

Kenta's Inugami feeds on Ghosts.
And as you see, it has a big appetite.

But, it only ate the outer part of the Ghost.
The important "core"......is still, there.

......

Eh, a boy......?
And he's a......ordinary boy too.

I want to meet Mr. Santa......
Only once will be fine, I want presents......

Mr. Reindeer has come......
But, Mr. Santa is not here......

Because I'm a naughty kid?
I just want to meet Mr. Santa that's all......

......

Youl?


1 option
Are you going?

Yes. That's the reason Mr. Principal......
Lent me this bag afterall.

No problem. I'm Santa Claus.
Making the kid smile......is my job.

Mr. Reindeer......?

No, that's not correct.
I'm Santa Claus. An apprentice though.

If it's not Santa......
. I don't need you...... Nothing.

Don't say things like that.
I've come, all the way to give you presents.

Present......?
Really......for me......?

Yup, that's right.
You see this bag, anything could come out from it.

What do you want the most?
Toys? Sweets? Or---

Youl reached his hand into the bag.
However deep in his heart---there was a small thorn.

It was a bit different when back at Christmas.
It was coming for Youl instead of me.

So, why do you think the Ghosts,
were aiming for Youl?

The target was---Santa's big bag.
Attracted by it's magical power, I assume that was why they attacked you.

They were trying to snatch Santa Claus' big bag......
and turn it as their own.

Eh......!?
Why, the presents......!

The presents---didn't come out......!
That's impossible......!

Mr. Reindeer......?

I-I'm sorry.
There must be something wrong.

Erm, hold on for a second.
The presents......!

They really didn't come out......!
This child......he's......

A "naughty kid"......?

Words spoke, and he immediately shut his mouth.

His suspicion in the bottom of his heart,
and his anxiety, formed into words.

N-no!
This is......I mean......!

I knew it......
Why Santa didn't come......

If that's the case......
If he don't come to me......!

I'll become a naughty kid......
The bag, the presents......

Everything, are mine!

The anger of the boy shakens the air.
Unexpectedly, Youl let go the Santa's bag from him.

Ah, the bag!
No, give it back!

The boy rode the wind as he put away the bag.
In the same time, the trembles in the air became violent.

Now I have the bag......!
Now everyone won't get to receive presents......!

If I can't get any presents......! I don't need Santa!

Damn......!
Santa's bag......!

Although he still looks the same......
Watch out! The matter of the Ghost is changing......!

Eh, Inugami......?
No, stop......calm down......!

Is Inugami......
Reacting to the Ghost......!?

Ah, stop......no......
Inugami......Inugami......stop it......!

Inugami flew out from Kenta's ransel,
and faced the boy who turned into a Ghost.

Wait, what's going on!?
Inugami has become ferocious!

The Ghost has turned powerful,
and Inugami trying to counter it......!

It's all my fault......!
Because I said cruel things to him......!


1 option
Don't give up yet.

......


1 option
You're going to bring smiles to the kids right?

......


1 option
Hang in there! Santa Claus

......Yes.
That's right, [Player].

I'll have to, go for the boy......!

[Player]! Ryouta!
Please......lend me a hand!

Let's stop them!
Inugami and the boy!

If we can disable the Ghost......no, the Evil spirit,
Inugami should return normal too.

The boy is not an Evil spirit.
That's boy, is just......

Bargurst:(smile face)
......I know.
I'll leave that kid to you, Youl.

Yes! Understood!
Let's go! [Player]!

(Battle)

GUAAAAAAAAA!!

The ghost of the boy cried with a screaming voice,
soaring up in the air trying to sake off Inugami.

H-he can still move!?
The sky---he's going to escape......!

It's the Santa's bag.
The bag is continuing to provide "power" to the ghost.

That's bad......! If he keeps growing stronger,
there's nothing we can do then!

......Mr. Santa, listen.
That boy......he's crying......

Eh?

Inugami told me......
as it came back......

He is like me......before meeting
Uncle Bear and Inugami......he's all alone.

The boy is not angry.
He's crying......Always, always......

......

[Player]!
Hop on! Let's get to him!


1 option
Let's go, Youl!

---Are you going to charge onto him?
You'll be blown back instead!!

......Youl, [Player].




Thank you, for coming with me.
I won't be able to do it......if I'm alone.

My "sacred treasure"---
It's not only a sleigh for riding.

It's a sleigh---
That's guides Santa Claus to the children!

Please, Korvatunturi!
Take Santa......me, to where the kid is!

Santa Claus apprentice......
In the name of Youl the reindeer!

God's delivery(天郵神助)......!
Korvatunturi---!!

Reach him---!




Mr. Santa......
No......Don't come......

Because, I did something very bad.
I stole Santa's bag. And---I consumed it.

That is a very bad thing.
That's why Santa didn't come to me.

---never.

Ouch......

......Mr. Reindeer......?

I took a hard landing.
But, I came for you.

Sorry for waiting!
Santa has come to you!

Lies! Santa didn't come!
Because, I'm a "naughty kid"......!

Why do you keep saying
you are a "naughty kid" yourself?

Eh......?

That's because, you are reflecting back on yourself.
By saying "I've did something wrong, I was a 'naughty kid' ".

That's why......I believe in you.
You're no longer a "naughty kid" anymore.

That's why, I'm giving you.
The present from Santa Claus.

It doesn't matter if it's out of season.
It's a Christmas present just for you.

The bag of Santa Claus glowed with light.
That was, the present for him that Youl hoped for.

It was a big big present box.
Youl handed it to the boy.

It's a bit late but......
Here you go. Merry Christmas.

You've been waiting for this all the time isn't it.
Sorry---for keeping you waiting.

Reindeer onii-chan......

I've been waiting......
Because, Mr. Santa didn't come......

Because, I was always a "naughty kid".
All I want to say......for all these times, was I'm sorry......!

Hehehe. That's not right.
When you receive presents from someone---what do you say.

......

---Can you tell me.
Your honest feelings. To me only.

Reindeer onii-chan......
No, that's not right.

Thank you for your present!
Reindeer Santa onii-chan......!




---I see it has come to an end.
You have done well. My beloved apprentice, Youl.

Is that sleigh Youl......
They're not coming down at all.

Are you lonely? Deliverer of happiness.
It's all right. They will return soon.

......It's okay. Compared to me,
it's better to have [Player] with him.

So, let's go home together Kenta!
Let's go have a meal with onii-chan!

I-is that okay......?

E~veryone worked so hard,
Let's all go to eat some delicious food!

Barguest:(smile face)
Yes, It's okay to do it from time to time.
Kenta, you should go first.

Has Inugami calmed down?
I wonder what the boy eats.

Now that's a case closed.
God......What a problematic world.

Again, my gratitude to you.
You have helped my beloved apprentice a lot.

Barguest:(smile face)
No need to thank me.
A reward is already most satisfactory.

However, what on earth
were Youl and the others doing?

......The fact is that "sacred treasure" of the bag is not
for giving out presents to begin with. You can use it that way, nevertheless.

......Huh?

It sorts out the black and white, and "delivers to the target without fail"
the suitable consequences---that's how it actually works.

If you do good you'll receive the suitable present(award),
If you done bad you'll receive the suitable present(consequence).

The fate could not be avoided and certainly
delivered to the person, and one cannot counter back.

For those who were deeply sinned
will of course have a server consequence.

But---for a youngster,
a punishment like that does not seem suitable.

The child is suffering for a long time.
I think that should make up for all the things he had done.

That's why, the bag has prepared the suitable present(award).
The thing that he most wanted.

The thing he wanted.
Not toys. Nor sweets.

What he wanted was,
A "chance" for him to say "sorry".

Barguest:(smile face)
I see.
Presents are not bounded to physical objects as well.

However, the bag is only a tool used by Santa.
Coming up with this conclusion---You've grown strong, Youl.

---Hm, sorting out black and white?
I've heard of this......somewhere. It's like---

You're correct, I was also
a "receiver of presents".

Ded:(white_smile face)
Every Santa was once---a youngster.
They shall never forget---

That day, that time, the fact that Santa came before them. And then the youngsters now---became the ones who deliver dreams.

But, let's stop the conversation here.
For he is---too embarrassed to talk any further.

A glow of light had risen into the sky.
As if, a soul was rescued.

Watching as the light rose up into the air and disappear.
Youl spoke to [Player].

The boy was told that he was a bad boy.
That's why he couldn't receive any presents.

I was like that too. Because I was a reindeer......
I was told I couldn't become Santa.

That's why, I kind of understand......
How the boy feels.

Is that......
Really the best for him.

The person the boy wanted to meet,
was Santa Claus, not a reindeer.

I'm a reindeer.
I am one, and will always be one.

I cannot change that.
A reindeer Santa sounds a bit disappointing right.


1 option
It doesn't matter if you could laugh in the end.

Is that so.


1 option
That is the proof.

Yes. Thank you, [Player].
Even I'm knew it alreay, but being a Santa is tiring.

......It sound bad to Ryouta,
but do you want to have a stroll in the sky?

I want to be with you for a little longer.
I might cry if I'm alone.


3 options
I'm with you (Put hand on his shoulder) (Squeeze him around your arms)

......!
I-it's kind of embarrassing......!

Thank you, [Player].
Please......support me next time too.

Eh, wait......You're too bold!
Er......even if you say there's no one watching......

Ah, but......don't let go.
Even just for a little longer, stay like that.


Youl's sleigh soars slowly through the sky.

Even if there are troubles.
Youl is going to proceed through.

Looking at the problems he is facing,
He has a strange confidence that he will work it out someday.

Because sitting besides him, there was [Player].
The one who gives him strength.

Someday, when he becomes the Santa Claus
every child dreamt to be---

---END---
