Frohe Weihnachten We have come to serve as the hosts of the event this time. |
|
I-I-I am Japan and I came to serve as Christmas host this time…! I-I-I-I look forward to working with you! |
|
Are you okay!? | |
I feel like a father at his daughter’s wedding ceremony. Being the host is nerve-wracking. |
|
What kind of feeling is that? Next is… |
|
zzz | |
......... | |
......... | |
“Ciao! I’m Italy!” | |
Japan, your voice imitations are so good it’s terrifying… Hey! Will you wake up already!? | |
Ve~ zzz | |
It’s because he worked very hard yesterday. I think that he will wake up if guests arrive. |
|
Italy… honestly. | |
As usual, your help has eased my nerves a little. I shall read the letter we received at once. |
|
Hm, I’ll leave it to you. Okay! |
|
“I’m studying abroad in Japan, and there’s a problem that I thought of. Why are there only one or two reindeer in Japanese drawings of Santa? I always found it strange because the official number of Santa’s reindeer should be eight.” |
|
That’s a surprise. | |
Concerning this question, we already received a fax from Finland. | |
Does it matter that much how many reindeer there are? Try asking America instead! |
|
That was Finland’s answer. Let’s try to call America. |
|
Merry Christmas !! It’s still the 24th in my house, but are you all enjoying the celebration? |
|
Come to think of it, wasn’t there no time difference last year? | |
Merry Christmas-desu, America. By the way, if you don’t mind the question, Santa has officially eight reindeer, right? |
|
Yep! Since all eight of them have names! | |
A Santa wearing red clothes and flying through the sky with eight reindeer became famous at my house and got reimported back to Europe. The original Santa is a very scary person, so I changed him into a more dream-like character. |
|
Yes, there are plenty of scary figures in European Christmas tradition. Threats to take (the kids) to Spain, having the Devil as a companion, bringing them ash and cursing them… |
|
S…Santa? | |
Ve ve ve… At my house, a witch… zzz [T/N: Italy is talking about Befana.] |
U-uve! Ah, you’ve already started! Sorry about that! Germany, are there any girls here now? |
|
So you’be finally woken up? No, not yet. |
|
Oh, ok… ZZZ | |
Don’t go back to sleep! | |
We’re now accepting requests about what sorts of scenes you’d like to see. We ask that you don’t request that we take on unreasonable appearances. I can’t turn into a bridge. It’s simply impossible. |
|
You know Japan, I have the feeling that we’ll be made to turn into unnecessarily some crazy things! |
Now, let’s start with the very first request! | |
> I want to see Kugelmugel and Liechtenstein cross over English!? |
|
The first request since we put up the notice was, amazingly enough, from Vietnam’s house. It seems that since she requested normally around the announcement time, she got number one. |
|
Kugelmugel, that guy at Austria’s house, huh? They met once, but whether or not they had a conversation is a mystery to this very day. |
|
Hey! |
I’m not good with this kind of thing, but I came because you told me to, Germany. | |
Hello, everyone. I’m Liechtenstein. |
|
Switzerland, you came, huh? I’m thankful. |
|
Ooh, Switzerland and Liech! Ciao, ciao! |
|
Hmph. | |
These are our guests, Switzerland and Liechtenstein. I will distribute the requested images at once. |
|
I won’t (can’t) say any clever comments. | |
I’m looking forward to this. | |
Kugelmugel was quite an adorable person. I would most certainly like to see Kugel Mugel again! |
|
I can’t help but feel a dangerous aura radiating from that Kugel. | |
That boy really is difficult to deal with. | |
Really!? | |
(…Boy? Perhaps he is mistaken.) | |
How do you spend Christmas in your home, Mr. Switzerland. |
|
Hrm. In my home, we bake things like brunsli, a type of brownie, Chrabeli, a type of cookie, and other such items. We then toll bells to welcome the arrival of Christmas. |
|
Santa’s appearance resembles the appearance of the Santa that appears in Mr. America’s home, but has more of an angelic impression. In Switzerland, Santa is called Samichlaus. He visits on December 6. |
|
Sinterklaas visits the Netherland’s home on December 5 and visits Belgium’s home on December 6, if I remember right. The 6th is one busy day! |
|
The presents that are given are not the big presents that the child wants, like the ones that are given out in England, America, etc., but small treats and toys and the like. It is a most wonderful reward from the paren- excuse me, Samichlaus. |
|
Indeed. That is why we are more accustomed to baking cookies than cakes on Christmas. Even now he still gives out toys that the children love playing with and games as presents. |
|
I really want to eat the cookies you baked! | |
Very well. I shall make some. | |
Huh, oh yeah. Haha… um, thank you? | |
Thank you very much, Switzerland and Lichtenstein. Having a peaceful Christmas like that is great. |
|
You can say that again! I couldn’t agree with you more! How is it that every Christmas turns into a strange one every year?! Now when Christmas approaches, I have to be vigilant! |
|
Will you be spending the rest of Christmas in your home? | |
Yes. Once I enter my home, I do not intend to set a single step outside of it for the rest of the day. I believe this year’s Christmas will be a great one. Now then, if you’ll excuse us. |
|
Have a pleasant Christmas. | |
Okay! I’m gonna read the next request now! | |
“LITTLE PRUSSIA! LITTLE PRUSSIA! LITTLE PRUSSIA!” |
|
…I can certainly feel the enthusiasm this request has. My brother when he was a kid, huh? He said himself that he was strong, cool, and awesome when he was little… |
|
He was quite… a free spirit back then… | |
Now then, as requested, here is “Little Prussia”. |
……… | |
How nostalgic! Yup, Prussia’s been like that ever since he was the Teutonic Knights! |
|
I shall expand further and explain how the Teutonic Knights, who were unable to marry, continued to exist. It seems that people from Germanic countries came to join the ranks of the Teutonic Knights. There were many instances in which the first-born son inherits the house, and the second son joins the Teutonic Knights. …Mr. Germany? |
|
What is that brother of mine doing?! | |
Huh? He hasn’t changed since he was little! | |
Honestly… What was so “cool” about that… | |
(Italy. I believe that, perhaps, Mr. Germany believed everything Prussia told him about his past?) |
|
(Ah! I think I understand, Japan! I’m sure he must’ve heard from Prussia that he was cool, cute, strong, rugged, etc. quite a bit…) |
|
I believe a cross-examination of my brother is required. |
