[applause]
I don't usually
demonstrate this
for those outside my family.
Sorry that I'm so nervous!
[HITOYOSHI]
Hardcore deja vu activated.
It's our bad for asking you
but those were
some sweet moves!
Ninjas are so cool!
Though I'm a ninja,
my prowess is nothing at all
compared to that
of my older brother.
[NAKA]
And my techniques
aren't really as amazing
as they seem.
In truth, I'd rather
not have these abilities.
I often wonder
what life would be like
if I was born "normal."
[gasps]
I understand. More than most.
That's my wish.
I want to be "normal".
Though I am still
trying to figure out
what "normal" means to me.
Ms. Naka,
if I could perhaps discuss
such things with you
I know it would truly
put my heart at ease.
- May I?
- Hah!
I. Yes! Please!
By the way, I also specialize
in throwing weapons.
Oh, wow!
Please show me!
There's something so sweet
about watching them connect.
[GRACE]
Lookit what we got here.
My little Hitoyoshi
has taken one giant leap
towards his secret dream
of forming a harem!
You're practically drowning
in cute girls, aren't ya?
It's an embarrassment
of riches!
Wha? No way,
you've got it all wrong!
I swear.
It isn't what it looks like!
[HITOYOSHI]
So you skipped the festival
but now you're here
outta the blue?
Beautiful women come
and go like the wind.
What's Ms. Nitta doing?
[GRACE]
Aren't you satisfied,
feeling my jumblies
pressed up against you?
Go ahead.
Have a squeeze.
Uh.
Huh. I was aiming for the tree,
not the desperate woman.
Don't subconsciously
try to off me, lady!
What are you,
some kinda killbot?
You got this!
[GRACE]
Simmer down!
Don't forget you asked me
to research your little sister
for you as a favor!
[YUKI] Master Hitoyoshi,
my apologies for startling you.
Nah.
Don't worry about me.
Since she attacked me
on autopilot
she feels no remorse, I see.
[scoffs]
I've been wondering
something for a while
you're not "normal" either,
are you?
- Hm.
- Oh, I'm Naka Hikage.
Ah, the youngest daughter
of the Hikage clan.
[gasps] You mean
you already know who I am?
Duh.
I'm an informant, y'know.
[Grace sighs]
And what's more
I know you were the one
who wrote Yuki's name
on her test.
I know everything.
[GRACE] Don't consciously
aim for the kill, either!
♪
[GRACE] I see the runt's under
her protection now, too.
[nervous laugh]
By the way, care to tell me
what brings you here, Ms. Grace?
[GRACE]
Right, almost forgot.
My work is taking me to China
for a little bit.
I was thinking of hitting up
Xue's old acquaintances
to try and score some info
on her sister.
It's too risky to ask
the organization directly.
Still, that's your old
stomping grounds, right?
[YUKI] Actually,
I didn't know anyone there,
aside from my mentor.
[Grace groans]
Well, that concludes
my business.
I know it's a real shame
our little group
can't spend Christmas together.
Keep Hitoyoshi company
while I'm gone.
Have lotsa steamy nights!
- [gasps]
- Steamy?
Can you not say crazy things
right before you go?
[YUKI]
My old stomping grounds.
♪
[NAKA] Hey. There's something
I've been really curious about.
Um, are you two dating?
- Huh?
- Uh
Oh, sorry!
Was that uncouth?
I've never tried
"girl talk" before.
Please try to forgive me
if that was an inappropriate
moment to bring it up!
'Cause I guess you're cousins, right?
Let's back it up.
Like I said, there's nothing
like that between us.
Oh. Okay, understood!
Uh!
- I'm sorry! Forgive me!
- Oh, man!
I'm the one
who should be apologizing!
[NAKA] It's just I've been
watching you two for ages,
and you seem
like the perfect couple.
Yeah. Except we're
not a couple, remember?
It's not possible, anyway,
for reasons.
Those reasons being that we.
Uh.
Um, Ms. Yuki?
[YUKI] Being asked
about my old acquaintances
just made me remember
something.
Never in my life has
anyone shown an interest
in getting to know the real me,
nor have I harbored
such an interest.
♪
[YUKI]
Being alone was all I knew.
But that has changed.
Now I love having
so many people to protect.
[both gasp]
[HITOYOSHI]
I can see that.
Ms. Yuki's feelings are
more like familial love,
and nothing more than that.
[gasps]
It's snowing!
♪
[cell phone buzzing]
DAD I'LL BE BACK IN JAPAN
FOR THE NEW YEAR.
[HITOYOSHI]
Winter wonderland!
I hear ya.
Snow has a way of making
everything exciting.
[Hitoyoshi laughs]
Now you're iced mochi!
Save some for me!
Tada! Mini-snowman!
So yeah, we don't
get a whole lotta snow
around these parts.
And when I was a kid,
I became a pro
at building tiny snowmen
like this guy.
Then I shall to learn as well.
[barks]
[YUKI] I am not as proficient
in this art as you are.
[HITOYOSHI]
Well, it's very you.
Um, how should I put this?
The way it's trying
its hardest to be round
reminds me of you
in the very best way.
[soft laugh]
Thank you, Master.

[chuckles]
♪
Wait, what? No!
Agemochitaro?
[Agemochitaro muffles]
[gasps]
You murdered them!
Keep this up and Santa's
gonna put you on

[crying]
They were so young.
Is there any way
we could revive them?
[HITOYOSHI] Prognosis negative.
They're gone.
[gasps]
[cell phone rings]
[ringing continues]
I'm sorry.
I have to answer this call now.
All right.
Yeah. Yeah, I'm aware.
No, that's
[HITOYOSHI]
Oh, I understand.
I'll talk to Riko
and have her tell Mom.
Bye.
It's already that time of year.
[sighs]
Hey, Ms. Yuki.
Can you watch the house for me
while I go see Riko?
That will not be a problem.
Pardon, Master Hitoyoshi?
Huh?
♪
[indistinct chatter]
[HITOYOSHI]
It's freezing!
She said she wanted to meet me
on the way home
but does that mean
she wants to eat out?
It's Christmas,
so everywhere'll be packed.
Huh.
Quite a crowd over there.
Uh
- Huh?
- Oh, you're finally here.
[gasps]
♪
Wait, why are you dressed
like that?
I mean, it's normal
and pretty and all, but.
[YUKI] I knew you'd be chilly,
so I kept this scarf warm.
We don't want you
catching a cold.
[HITOYOSHI]
What are you clairvoyant, now?
Y'know, if we go out on
Christmas, people will think
- They'll think.
- [YUKI] Yes.
So let us go out on a "date."
D-D-D-D--
A date? Why would we do that?
Ms. Riko advised me
that you would feel better
if I were to go
on this "date" with you.
[gasps]
Your sister called me
while you were out.
She confided
that you have troubles
weighing heavily on your mind.
♪
And even before
she had called me,
I sensed a cloud of gloom
over you.
I couldn't help but wish
I could do something
to help lighten your mood.
Even if only a little.
[Hitoyoshi gasps]
While your own form
is obscured by a gloom,
I cannot become the round
snowman I wish to be.
I simply cannot.
♪
[HITOYOSHI]
Ms. Yuki, um.
If that's how you really feel,
then, well.
♪
[HITOYOSHI]
Shall we start our date?
Sounds lovely. Let's go!
- Should we keep holding hands?
- [YUKI] Yes.
[YUKI] Ms. Riko told me
not to let you go.
[indistinct chatter]
[HITOYOSHI]
Oh, man.
I can almost see
Riko's triumphant face.
There may not be a way
around it
but part of me can't help
feeling it's wrong
to see Ms. Yuki
in a romantic light.
In a way she's kind of like
a big baby in a Katsuda
sauce-loving adult's body.
Goo-goo!
Besides, even
if that wasn't a factor
I don't want to lose
what we have.
[YUKI] Master Hitoyoshi,
where shall we go first?
[HITOYOSHI]
Huh? Oh.
Guess we'll start with dinner.
Oh, wow.
It's snowing again.
[YUKI] You're not feeling cold,
are you, master?
[HITOYOSHI]
I'm fine.
I have this warm scarf.
Oh? Look at all that.
[chuckles] When the snow falls
onto the lights
it blurs them and makes them
sparkle even more.
It's such a magical sight.
That's another reason
why I love the snow
as much as I do.
- [chuckles]
- Uh-oh.
Did I say something
super weird?
Not quite.
[groans]
I was just so happy to hear
you say you love me.
Thank you, master.
♪
I know that you were only
referring to my namesake
but even so,
it felt wonderful to hear it.
[Yuki chuckles]
[heart pounding]
[HITOYOSHI]
What's this?
Huh?
[RIKO] Let's decide
what you're gonna wear
on your Christmas date!
Hurry, before my big bro
gets back! Ooh!
You bought that
loose-knit cardigan, right?
You have a killer figure,
so you'd totally slay
in something
that shows off
those dangerous curves,
but an innocent look
really gives Christmas.
If we're going that route,
you should pair it
with a tight little skirt,
along with a camisole
that goes with the knitted top.
Cardigan. Innocent look.
Little skirt. Camisole.
[RIKO] Sounds good, but your
neck still needs some drip!
[YUKI] My neck?
I suppose I do have my bell.
Oh! That's so perf!
Nothin'
like a flirty lil choker.
Now let your hair down
and pin it in place.
And we bought a handbag,
didn't we?
Bring that thing, too.
I believe this is it.
[RIKO]
As for your legs,
black tights
with matching boots!
[YUKI] You're sure
that dressing like this
will help lift
master's spirits?
[RIKO]
Abs-itively pos-olutely!
In fact, even better.
You'll cast a Christmas
spell on him!
Show him even more
of the gorgeous side of you
than he usually sees,
and he'll fall head over heels!
[YUKI]
Head over heels?
All right. I'll strive
to be more beautiful
than the snow
he named me after.
Wish me luck.
[Riko squeals]
I only wish
you could have heard her
getting all dolled up!
Ms. Yuki is ruthlessly adorbs,
isn't she?
[HITOYOSHI]
Oh, um, indeed.
I really don't wanna
hear this right now.
But think about it.
Does she strike you
as the romantic type?
Can she actually have feelings
like that for anyone?
No matter how I try,
I can't even imagine it.
Check the numbers.
As your sis,
my affection for you
is somewhere
in the thirty range
so Ms. Yuki must be
over nine thousand!
Thirties?
Uh, why is yours so low?
I've got it. She probably
hasn't realized it yet.
Her feelings of romance!
[grunts]
Seeing as how she wants to be
with you forever,
isn't that basically love
already?
[groaning]
[HITOYOSHI] Wanting to always
be with someone.
Is that love?
[RIKO] If you're
somehow still in doubt.
Eh, voila!
The Unrequited Love Test!
- Huh?
- Using this
we can determine
how much of her heart
you've managed to snag!
Online tests
aren't exactly reliable.
[RIKO] Nonsense,
these things are spot on!
My friend used one of these
to decide
whether to confess her love
and she got exactly the result
she was hoping for!
That was pure coincidence.
Even if, you've got nothing
to lose by trying it!
Let's get this party started.
Does she make it a point
to physically touch you?
Uh. I guess so.
Like, my hands.
Question two, does she lavish
praise on you?
Suppose so.
Question three,
does she actively
initiate conversation with you?
Well, yeah,
but we live together.
Question four.
Does she help you out
when you're in trouble, or not?
She sure does.
Question five. Do you catch
each other's gaze a lot.
I suppose so.
Question six.
Does she laugh at your jokes
and funny
an-anec-anecdotes-ess?
[sighs]
I suppose so.
[RIKO]
And now the last one!
Question twenty five.
Has she ever told you
she likes you,
outside of a love confession?
I was just so happy to hear
you say you love me.
Thank you, master.
[heart pounding]
[stammering]
Um, I. No.
'Kay! Results time!
There's a ninety-six percent
chance
you two have feelings
for each other!
[Hitoyoshi gasps]
All that's left is
to confess your love!
At ninety-six percent, you're
basically a couple already!
[HITOYOSHI] She just says
whatever pops in her head.
But it's the remaining
four percent
that I'm worried about.
I have returned
from my errands, Master.
- [gasps]
- [RIKO] Welcome home!
Shopping and walking Mochita?
You're the best!
Thank you.
[HITOYOSHI] Ooh. You even
picked out a daikon radish!
Yes!
I will never mistake
a squid for one again.
A daikon radish and a squid?
[cover rustling]
[HITOYOSHI] When it comes
to mundane conversations
like this one,
I have no trouble
talking to her at all.
Maybe it's really
like Riko said.
Could it be that
Christmas magic was to blame?
[RIKO]
Oh, hey, Ms. Yuki!
I've got some questions,
so just answer "yes" or "no."
[whimpers]
Stop it! Right now!
[RIKO]
Question one, does big bro
make it a point
to physically touch you?
- He does.
- I won't survive this.
[RIKO]
Question two.
Does big bro
lavish praise on you?
- He does.
- [gasping]
Question three.
Does he actively initiate
conversation with you?
Yes.
Question four.
Does big bro help you out
when you're in trouble?
- Or not so much?
- He does.
[whimpers]
RIKO
Finally!
Question twenty five.
Has big brother
ever told you he likes you,
outside of a love confession?
He has.
In fact,
he did so just the other day,
during our Christmas date.
- [gasps]
- Ms. Yuki?
[RIKO] One-hundred ninety six
percent chance of love!
I have no regrets
for the life that I have led!
[HITOYOSHI]
There's no honor in dying
over a misunderstanding!
♪
[RIKO] The key
to enjoying a nice kotatsu is
to stretch your legs out
underneath it.
My legs.
Do you mean like this?
Ya nailed it!
[chuckles]
Those are some long legs!
Wow.
A kotatsu is so warm and fun.
I know, right?
I just love them!
We don't have one at my house.
It's been too long
since I had hotpot on one!
And I owe it all to you.
There didn't used to be
enough space here to set it up
since my big bro
liked to fill up the house
with junk to spite our dad.
[gasps]
To spite him?
Quiet!
I am dead serious!
[RIKO] Huh? Did I say
something I shouldn't have?
Drop it.
[HITOYOSHI] I can't admit
that I just don't want Ms. Yuki
to find out my shameful secret.
I was a total brat!
[RIKO] Oh, I bet you're
worried I'll tell Ms. Yuki
all about your childish side!
Riko!
[HITOYOSHI]
I'm tormented with worry here
and she's still carelessly
running her mouth.
He's so desperate
to look cool in front of you!
[gasps]
PONZU
[HITOYOSHI] Thanks to that,
I'm feeling
extra self-conscious.
Such sins must be met
with divine punishment!
It's true! I laughed so hard,
milk came out my nose!
- [HITOYOSHI] Take this!
- Tsujioka, who sits next to me
tossed me a napkin
- [HITOYOSHI] Huh?
- And I scrubbed the living
heck outta that desk,
lemme tell ya!
But then the clay eraser
stuck to it.
[HITOYOSHI]
Why isn't she reacting to it?
We worked together as a class
and made them using
our leftover clay shavings.
There were three of them,
named "aw," "kuh," and "ward,"
and making them
was a total blast
until we got 'em
all stuck together,
and we spent the rest
of the day arguing over
who got to keep the giant
awkward mega-eraser.
But anyway,
I was scrubbing the living
heck out of this desk
and then the clay
got stuck to it-
[gasping]
[RIKO] Uh? Hey.
What's going on, you two?
[YUKI]
Oh. Um.
[gasps]
I'm so sorry!
- Huh?
- It's all right.
What is this? Some secret
language between you?
[Riko gasps]
Does it mean "I love you"?

There may not be a way
around it
but part of me can't help
feeling it's wrong
to see Ms. Yuki
in a romantic light.
In a way she's kind of like
a big baby in a Katsuda
sauce-loving adult's body.
Goo-goo!
Besides, even
if that wasn't a factor
I don't want to lose
what we have.
[YUKI] Master Hitoyoshi,
where shall we go first?
[HITOYOSHI]
Huh? Oh.
Guess we'll start with dinner.
Oh, wow.
It's snowing again.
[YUKI] You're not feeling cold,
are you, master?
[HITOYOSHI]
I'm fine.
I have this warm scarf.
Oh? Look at all that.
[chuckles] When the snow falls
onto the lights
it blurs them and makes them
sparkle even more.
It's such a magical sight.
That's another reason
why I love the snow
as much as I do.
- [chuckles]
- Uh-oh.
Did I say something
super weird?
Not quite.
[groans]
I was just so happy to hear
you say you love me.
Thank you, master.
♪
I know that you were only
referring to my namesake
but even so,
it felt wonderful to hear it.
[Yuki chuckles]
[heart pounding]
[HITOYOSHI]
What's this?
Huh?
[RIKO] Let's decide
what you're gonna wear
on your Christmas date!
Hurry, before my big bro
gets back! Ooh!
You bought that
loose-knit cardigan, right?
You have a killer figure,
so you'd totally slay
in something
that shows off
those dangerous curves,
but an innocent look
really gives Christmas.
If we're going that route,
you should pair it
with a tight little skirt,
along with a camisole
that goes with the knitted top.
Cardigan. Innocent look.
Little skirt. Camisole.
[RIKO] Sounds good, but your
neck still needs some drip!
[YUKI] My neck?
I suppose I do have my bell.
Oh! That's so perf!
Nothin'
like a flirty lil choker.
Now let your hair down
and pin it in place.
And we bought a handbag,
didn't we?
Bring that thing, too.
I believe this is it.
[RIKO]
As for your legs,
black tights
with matching boots!
[YUKI] You're sure
that dressing like this
will help lift
master's spirits?
[RIKO]
Abs-itively pos-olutely!
In fact, even better.
You'll cast a Christmas
spell on him!
Show him even more
of the gorgeous side of you
than he usually sees,
and he'll fall head over heels!
[YUKI]
Head over heels?
All right. I'll strive
to be more beautiful
than the snow
he named me after.
Wish me luck.
[Riko squeals]
I only wish
you could have heard her
getting all dolled up!
Ms. Yuki is ruthlessly adorbs,
isn't she?
[HITOYOSHI]
Oh, um, indeed.
I really don't wanna
hear this right now.
But think about it.
Does she strike you
as the romantic type?
Can she actually have feelings
like that for anyone?
No matter how I try,
I can't even imagine it.
Check the numbers.
As your sis,
my affection for you
is somewhere
in the thirty range
so Ms. Yuki must be
over nine thousand!
Thirties?
Uh, why is yours so low?
I've got it. She probably
hasn't realized it yet.
Her feelings of romance!
[grunts]
Seeing as how she wants to be
with you forever,
isn't that basically love
already?
[groaning]
[HITOYOSHI] Wanting to always
be with someone.
Is that love?
[RIKO] If you're
somehow still in doubt.
Eh, voila!
The Unrequited Love Test!
- Huh?
- Using this
we can determine
how much of her heart
you've managed to snag!
Online tests
aren't exactly reliable.
[RIKO] Nonsense,
these things are spot on!
My friend used one of these
to decide
whether to confess her love
and she got exactly the result
she was hoping for!
That was pure coincidence.
Even if, you've got nothing
to lose by trying it!
Let's get this party started.
Does she make it a point
to physically touch you?
Uh. I guess so.
Like, my hands.
Question two, does she lavish
praise on you?
Suppose so.
Question three,
does she actively
initiate conversation with you?
Well, yeah,
but we live together.
Question four.
Does she help you out
when you're in trouble, or not?
She sure does.
Question five. Do you catch
each other's gaze a lot.
I suppose so.
Question six.
Does she laugh at your jokes
and funny
an-anec-anecdotes-ess?
[sighs]
I suppose so.
[RIKO]
And now the last one!
Question twenty five.
Has she ever told you
she likes you,
outside of a love confession?
I was just so happy to hear
you say you love me.
Thank you, master.
[heart pounding]
[stammering]
Um, I. No.
'Kay! Results time!
There's a ninety-six percent
chance
you two have feelings
for each other!
[Hitoyoshi gasps]
All that's left is
to confess your love!
At ninety-six percent, you're
basically a couple already!
[HITOYOSHI] She just says
whatever pops in her head.
But it's the remaining
four percent
that I'm worried about.
I have returned
from my errands, Master.
- [gasps]
- [RIKO] Welcome home!
Shopping and walking Mochita?
You're the best!
Thank you.
[HITOYOSHI] Ooh. You even
picked out a daikon radish!
Yes!
I will never mistake
a squid for one again.
A daikon radish and a squid?
[cover rustling]
[HITOYOSHI] When it comes
to mundane conversations
like this one,
I have no trouble
talking to her at all.
Maybe it's really
like Riko said.
Could it be that
Christmas magic was to blame?
[RIKO]
Oh, hey, Ms. Yuki!
I've got some questions,
so just answer "yes" or "no."
[whimpers]
Stop it! Right now!
[RIKO]
Question one, does big bro
make it a point
to physically touch you?
- He does.
- I won't survive this.
[RIKO]
Question two.
Does big bro
lavish praise on you?
- He does.
- [gasping]
Question three.
Does he actively initiate
conversation with you?
Yes.
Question four.
Does big bro help you out
when you're in trouble?
- Or not so much?
- He does.
[whimpers]
RIKO
Finally!
Question twenty five.
Has big brother
ever told you he likes you,
outside of a love confession?
He has.
In fact,
he did so just the other day,
during our Christmas date.
- [gasps]
- Ms. Yuki?
[RIKO] One-hundred ninety six
percent chance of love!
I have no regrets
for the life that I have led!
[HITOYOSHI]
There's no honor in dying
over a misunderstanding!
♪
[RIKO] The key
to enjoying a nice kotatsu is
to stretch your legs out
underneath it.
My legs.
Do you mean like this?
Ya nailed it!
[chuckles]
Those are some long legs!
Wow.
A kotatsu is so warm and fun.
I know, right?
I just love them!
We don't have one at my house.
It's been too long
since I had hotpot on one!
And I owe it all to you.
There didn't used to be
enough space here to set it up
since my big bro
liked to fill up the house
with junk to spite our dad.
[gasps]
To spite him?
Quiet!
I am dead serious!
[RIKO] Huh? Did I say
something I shouldn't have?
Drop it.
[HITOYOSHI] I can't admit
that I just don't want Ms. Yuki
to find out my shameful secret.
I was a total brat!
[RIKO] Oh, I bet you're
worried I'll tell Ms. Yuki
all about your childish side!
Riko!
[HITOYOSHI]
I'm tormented with worry here
and she's still carelessly
running her mouth.
He's so desperate
to look cool in front of you!
[gasps]
PONZU
[HITOYOSHI] Thanks to that,
I'm feeling
extra self-conscious.
Such sins must be met
with divine punishment!
It's true! I laughed so hard,
milk came out my nose!
- [HITOYOSHI] Take this!
- Tsujioka, who sits next to me
tossed me a napkin
- [HITOYOSHI] Huh?
- And I scrubbed the living
heck outta that desk,
lemme tell ya!
But then the clay eraser
stuck to it.
[HITOYOSHI]
Why isn't she reacting to it?
We worked together as a class
and made them using
our leftover clay shavings.
There were three of them,
named "aw," "kuh," and "ward,"
and making them
was a total blast
until we got 'em
all stuck together,
and we spent the rest
of the day arguing over
who got to keep the giant
awkward mega-eraser.
But anyway,
I was scrubbing the living
heck out of this desk
and then the clay
got stuck to it-
[gasping]
[RIKO] Uh? Hey.
What's going on, you two?
[YUKI]
Oh. Um.
[gasps]
I'm so sorry!
- Huh?
- It's all right.
What is this? Some secret
language between you?
[Riko gasps]
Does it mean "I love you"?
[both gasp]
