A Special Message From the CEO...♡ (Part 2)

Koyomi
'I’m the culprit? Well well, this is a surprise. After all, it was you yourself who proved my innocence, Ojou-sama.’

Lilja
'Yes, as you say, it was a perfect alibi. Although now there's no trace of it left.’

Koyomi
‘I'll warn you, playing detective comes at a high price, Ojou-sama.’

Lilja
‘Go ahead, as you wish. If a coward like you can bring yourself to kill me.’

Koyomi
...!?

Lilja
...

Lilja
...What's wrong? Did you forget your line?

Koyomi
...Sorry, let’s take a short break.

Lilja
It's rare for Koyomi not to be concentrating on the play. Are you tired?

Koyomi
No, no. I simply forgot.

Koyomi
It's embarrassing that I’m having you help me practice...

Lilja
On days like this, it's good to rest by leaving your body in the care of someone who's full of energy.

Koyomi
You're worried about me, but you're entrusting yourself to me. That’s very like Lilja-san, but...hmm?

Lilja
Is something wrong?

Koyomi
Did you change your perfume or something? Actually, earlier I noticed that your scent was different from usual.

Lilja
...

Koyomi
Oh, no, it's not that I dislike it. And it might just be my imagination.

Lilja
No, it was strange that you remembered my smell.

Lilja
Could it be that you were sniffing around me?

Koyomi
I wouldn't do anything so bad.

Koyomi
I just happened to think that you smelled nice...

Lilja
I'm glad you noticed. This is a body cream I got from Santa Claus.

Koyomi
Santa Claus...

Koyomi
I'm glad it's something like that.

Lilja
Yes, it smells nice, I like it. Yeah, it smells nice, I like it. Even Ramo complimented my body.

Lilja
But there is a mystery about this present.

Koyomi
A mystery? What do you mean?

Lilja
There are four Santa Clauses who gave me presents, but I don't know which one of them chose this one.

Koyomi
Yes, this! This is it! I'm sure Lilja-san will be impressed with this!

Koyomi
I see. It might be a perfect crime that even a detective can't solve, right?

Lilja
That's right. I've made my deductions, but I don't have any evidence.

Lilja
First, the German Santa. He's the most suspicious, but I think he's probably not the one. If he were to give a present, he would give something more simple and unadorned.

Lilja
The Chinese Santa hates waste, so he doesn't do surprises. He’d ask me what I wanted beforehand, but he didn't ask me.

Lilja
The Okinawan Santa is very fashionable and knows a lot about beauty. I think he would choose something like that, but he's an honest person and can't tell a lie.

Lilja
...Hey, Koyomi. Who do you think the Santa Claus who chose the present for me is?

Koyomi
I don't know. Is the answer written in my eyes?

Lilja
...Ueno’s Santa is the last person who would do something like this. But while pretending not to be interested, he's watching everyone.

Lilja
You can't give presents unless you know what people like and what they have. He keeps his distance from other people, but that doesn't mean he doesn't like them.

Lilja
Even after all this, you still don't know who Santa Claus is?

Koyomi
What do you plan to do once you've found out?

Lilja
I want to meet him and thank him. Because he's joulutonttu , who watches over me and Gingaza.

Lilja
Thank you for the present. Thank you for watching over Gingaza.

Koyomi
Heh heh, that’s lovely. If I ever get to meet him, I'll tell him.

Lilja
Mmm...as Ramo said, you’re stubborn...

Lilja
Then, let me ask you one thing. Do you like it, Koyomi? The way I'm getting more and more beautiful.

Koyomi
You’re always beautiful, Lilja-san.

Lilja
...Thanks.
