Unfortunately, that seems to be the case.
It's apparently going to be quite some time before it gets here...

Just to confirm, it's carrying the lanterns and launching devices we were planning on using for the climax, yes?
Staff Member
Things have been a bit hectic since we received news of it getting stuck, so if you'll excuse me.

What do we do, Rui?
You were really set on using those lanterns during the climax, right...?

Rui
As long as our Santa Clauses overcome all the trials and deliver their presents to the children, we'll be able to call it a happy ending.
Rui
In other words, that is the bare minimum which we need to present. Even if we don't have those lanterns, all I'll need to do is make a couple of changes to the script...
Tsukasa
You're correct in terms of us still being able to go forward with this show given that you make some changes. But those lanterns embody the very spirit of this story, do they not...?
Rui
I do. The idea was to use them to create a path which our Santa Clauses would fly down. I was hoping that it would be a mystical sight to behold...
Rui
So of course, I haven't given up on it just yet. My plan right now is to figure out an alternative solution for making that scene a reality...
Rui
(But this mountain offers little in terms of props. If we have to make do with what we have right now, then...)
Kohane
They talked about how hard he worked on the climax, so I hope they get to go with their original plan...

<I figured you'd all be on the slopes now, so I came to see... Did something happen?>

Kohane
Exactly. These things happen, but there seems to be no way for them to create the same effect as they originally planned...
Toya
He's trying his best to make sure the audience goes home smiling. He doesn't want to cut any corners...

An
Right. As the director, he's probably trying to come up with the best effect he can at this very moment...
Kohane
(He puts an enormous amount of thought into each show because he wants to meet the audience's expectations in the best way possible...)

With me being one of them.
I can't wait to see today's show. I actually consider it a sort of Christmas present to myself...

Look at me. Making a member of the audience worry like this. I have no right to call myself a director...
Rui
(That means I have to find a way to overcome this trial. No matter how difficult it is, I will give the audience the best present ever...)

Rui
(Just as Santa Claus gave me wonderful presents and allowed me to dream big... Now, it's my turn.)
Rui
Yes, but we're quite literally going to need some extra hands if we're going to pull it off. So...
