Story/A Snowy Night Capriccio/E1-1 (Part2)

At the entrance of the Griffin base.

Springfield

There. All cleaned up.

Gr MG5 lets out a sigh as she drags a T-Doll sprawled on the snow back on her feet.

Gr MG5

Get up. Are you this tired just from cleaning up some fodder?

OTs-44

Then can we finally start preparing our presents for real?

M14

We already have a clear idea about our gift!

M21

Really? Tell me... No, I suppose it'd be better to come up with something on my own...

CZ75

Why do I have a feeling I'm going to draw Spitfire's gift...

SAA

I've already decided to give away my beloved collection of cola. I wonder what I'm going to get in return?

Am RFB

I just hope I won't get your cola...

... Behind a shady corner near the Griffin base.

Destroyer

Did you hear that, Gager?!

Destroyer

They... they're having a Secret Santa!

Destroyer

What is that? It sounds really interesting...

Gager

...

Destroyer

Any doll who prepares a gift can participate?!

Destroyer

Then I, too—

Gager smacks the eager and restless Destroyer on the head, sending her into the snow.

Gager

I see that your intelligence is also astounding.

Destroyer pulls her head out of the snow and sees a few modified Dinergates wandering among the Griffin T-Dolls.

OTs-44

These Dinergates are so cute! They're pretty helpful too...

WA2000

They ARE surprisingly useful...

M21

Say, if Sangvis Ferri sent in some Dinergates of their own today, we probably wouldn't be able to tell them apart, ahahaha...

M14

You're telling weird jokes again, M21...

Destroyer

Hold on, I just came up with the perfect plan.

... Meanwhile.

... Next to the chimney of the Griffin base.

ART556

(Dozing off) Wow... everyone's putting a lot of effort into making their presents!

ART556

Jeez... making gifts or whatever isn't cool at all...

ART556 watches all the busy T-Dolls around her and falls into deep thought.

ART556

If you ask me, the coolest thing has to be the mysterious thief who gets all the presents without having to work for them! Hahaha!

Thus, an exciting show begins to unfold.
