It's almost Christmas in Akihabara.  At Lenessia's mansion, Marie and Henriette are all visiting.  Lenessia is smiling, but she can't open herself up to the adventurers because of how different they are.  Akatsuki, who has been tasked with guarding the princess, is the only one who isn't having fun.  She thinks of Shiroe and worries about her own powerlessness.  Then, in Akihabara in December, a shocking event occurs.
I'll work at least as hard as you.
Ich werde mich genauso
sehr bemühen wie du auch.
Trabajaré al menos tan duro como tú.
Je suis prêt à me donner à fond,
Mi impegnerò almeno quanto te.
Eu me esforçarei tanto quanto você.
Ты усердно трудишься...
