People bustled around making the most out of the last week of December. The night is young, and so are the children playing tag along the streets of Sagiri Village. Their smiles are innocent and pure, in contrast to the one of full of mischief lacing Kochou Shinobu's lips.

The girl around her twenties has situated herself in front of a fairly sized home inside the village. When talking about decorations, the house is anything but bare. However, she couldn't hear any sounds coming from inside. No party, no blaring music. Just nothing. Normal people would say they're missing out the holiday spirit, thinking nobody's home.

But Shinobu isn't normal. She knew better than to leave in peace. And so, she starts pressing the doorbell with her finger and breathes in air, as she prepares herself for another attempt of a Christmas sing-along session.

"ON THE FIRST DAY OF CHRISTMAS, THE BARMAN SENT TO ME, A LARGE LONG ISLAND ICED TEAAA~"

Shinobu, in her naturally calm yet sinister voice, sings in a high pitched tone made to intentionally annoy people within the vicinity. Clasped firmly by her right hand is a plastic bottle with a few coins inside, used to hit her left hand to create a sound accompanying her singing.

"ON THE FOURTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS, THE BARMAN SENT TO ME, FOUR FREAKY TEQUILAS, AND I TELL YOU, THEY TASTE AWESOME!"

Shinobu strikes the bottle once again and carried on with her singing. Fifteen minutes has passed and she's on her fourth song after Silent Night. Yet, the target she's aiming for hadn't released himself from his hiding place, and she's getting impatient.

"You're not getting out, huh?" she mutters, completely pissed off.

Her butterfly harpin glistens under the beautiful moon whose witness of her lifting her leg up to reach the top of the gate. Lucky for her, it's not that tall, and climbing it is a piece of cake. Of course, she didn't abandon her beautiful song number.

"ON THE SEVENTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS, THE BARMAN SENT TO ME SEVEN GIN MARTINIS, FIVE CASES OF SOJU , A BOTTLE OF JOHNNY WALKER, OPEN THE DOOR YOU M*TH*RF*CK*R!"

Swinging her arms backward to gain additional force and jerking it forward, Shinobu lets go of her oh so precious musical instrument bottle as soon as the house's front door opened hitting the one person standing by the door right in the middle of his forehead.

Kochou Shinobu smiles. She succeeded. Right in front of her, watching her sitting comfortably on top of the gate with legs dangling, is Tomioka Giyuu, in all glory of his poker face and a cloth similar to a blanket in thickness draped around his shoulders.

"Oh, you finally decided to come out of your worm hole, Tomioka-san!" Shinobu chirps at the man who continues to stare at her wordlessly.

"... Kochou, you should stop singing about alcohol. There are kids around. It's not even Christmas."

The girl merely ignored the advice and leaps, landing in two feet on the ground perfectly. Her footsteps were muffled in the grass as she walks toward him with an 'innocent' smile.

"It made you open the door, so I don't really have a problem with it. Now, aren't you gonna let your pretty girlfriend in?"

"... You're not pretty?"
