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.
and he said to allow her to 
watch as much as she liked.
sagte er, er würde Akatsuki erlauben,
uns ohne Einschränkungen zu beobachten.
y dijo que le permitiéramos 
ver cuanto quisiera.
mais il m’a ordonné

e lui ha detto di lasciarla guardare quanto vuole.
E ele disse para deixá-la assistir o quanto ela quiser.
и он позволил Акацуки приходить,
когда захочет.
