Kohane

Have you finished hiding all the presents, An?

2

An

Yeah, I'm all done!

3

Toya

I've also finished hiding the remaining envelopes containing the riddles we discussed. I believe we're all set to go now.

4

Akito

Still, it's hard to believe that we're doing Christmas presents already.

5

Kohane

Hehe. I know what you mean.

Sound Effect: Play

6

Kohane

Speaking of which, if we're at that ski resort on Christmas Day, then we might not be able to have a party with Miku and the others.

7

An

Yeah...
I don't wanna not do anything, you know?

8

Toya

Then, what if we threw a party early?
I'm sure we can make some time since we don't have to go to school.

9

Akito

Sure, why not?
We could even buy them some Christmas presents.

10

An

Yeah! Oh, also!
What if we did something special to make up for us being gone the day of?

11

Toya

Something special...?

12

An

Umm...
Let's think of that part together!

13

Akito

You're joking, right...?

14

Kohane

Oh, what if we did something like this...?!

15

An

...which was when you suggested that we run a scavenger hunt using Christmas presents!

16

Kohane

My parents did that for me when I was little, and I remember having a lot of fun...

17

Kohane

Which is why I'm hoping that Miku and the others also enjoy it.

18

Kohane

Anyway, that's it as far as the rules go.
Do you guys have any questions?

19

Luka

All good♪ To recap, each envelope contains a riddle, and the answers will give us clues as to where to look next!

20

KAITO

And solving the third riddle of a set plainly reveals where the corresponding present is, yes?

21

An

That's right! Sounds like you guys are good to go!

22

Akito

You're also free to look at the hint included in each envelope if you have trouble solving any of the riddles.

23

Rin

Oh, you included helping hints?!
I wanna find my present fast, so can I look at it right away?

24

Len

Wait, you gotta at least try to solve it on your own first!

25

Miku

I'm looking forward to seeing what our riddles are like since they're all apparently different.

26

MEIKO

Yes, and I'd like to try solving them without looking at any of the hints.

27

Kohane

Okay, let's get our Christmas scavenger hunt started...
Ready, go!

28

Rin

Whoa, this is a riddle?!
It just looks like a picture of animals and food!

29

Len

Mine's... Yikes, a brain teaser!
How do I solve this one?

30

Toya

You two should be able to solve those.
First, try taking a closer look at them.

31

KAITO

Mine also seems to be a brain teaser...
“You see two bouquets of roses and three bouquets of lilies. If you combined them, how many bouquets would you have as a result?”

32

Miku

Wait, how's that a brain teaser?
Two plus three is five, right?

33

KAITO

Uh, actually...

34

Miku

Huh? Why are An and Toya giggling...?

35

KAITO

Haha! I think they're enjoying how you fell right for this riddle's trap, Miku.

36

Luka

...

37

Akito

It's weird to see Luka with such a serious look on her face...

38

Kohane

Hehe. It sort of is.

39

Luka

Of course I'm taking this seriously. I'm absolutely, positively going to find this present no matter what.

40

Luka

Okay, I've solved the first riddle♪ On to the second one!

41

MEIKO

I've also solved my first one.

42

Miku, Rin & Len

What...?
Really?!

43

Rin

Yes, I found my present...!

BGM: --:-- / --:-- Play

44

Len

Me too!

45

Kohane

Congratulations!
All of you have your presents now!

46

An

Still, Luka, you found yours so fast.
You totally blew through those riddles.

47

Luka

Heh heh.
I guess I'm pretty good at these kinds of brain teasers♪

48

Toya

You two were also quick, KAITO, MEIKO.

49

KAITO

Well, I suppose it's a testament to my ability to think outside the box!

50

MEIKO

As for me, I think I sort of got lucky.
Despite it being a simple word-association riddle, the second one ended up taking me quite a long time to solve.

51

Akito

It took you a little while to solve that first one, Miku, but you ended up making short work of the other two.

52

Miku

Yes, I just really wasn't sure how I was supposed to think about it at first.

53

Luka

Anyway, now that we've all found our presents, can I open mine?♪

54

Kohane

Yes, please do!

55

Rin

Oh, I wanna open mine too!
Hehe. I can't wait to see what's inside.

56

KAITO

I've also been waiting for this moment!
Let's see...

57

Len

I wanna try solving everyone else's riddles!
Can you two show me yours, Miku, MEIKO?

58

Miku

Yes, this ended up being really fun, so I'd like to see your riddles as well.

59

MEIKO

Okay. Then, let's swap.

60

Toya

They certainly seem to be enjoying themselves...

61

Kohane

Yeah!

62

Kohane

(I'm glad we decided to run this scavenger hunt for them!)
