After a monologue about how much he despises Christmas and a few detours to buy some necessities for the upcoming festivities, Sensei walks together with Ami, Ayane, and Maya to the hotel where the Christmas party is being held.
Once he enters the hotel, he exchanges multiple interactions with the girls:
Karin has somehow ended up working the reception desk, yet has no clue what she has to do.
After being called over to them in the lobby, Futaba prevents Sensei from telling Tsuneyo that Santa Claus doesn't exist, while Molly is absorbed in a gatcha game.
After finishing her game, Molly points out that Chika and Yumi have arrived, which ends in an argument about Chika's festive attire.
After following everyone upstairs, Sensei meets Makoto and Miku. Makoto doesn't seem to remember what happened before the reset, and instead wants to draw Sensei's attention to the haircut she gave Miku, who feels completely uncomfortable with her shorter hair until Sensei compliments her.
While sitting on the bed, Ami and Maya question the romantic decor.
Rin is texting a girl whom Sensei may or may not have met, while Sana stands patently to her left. Both mention a "Secret Santa" the class organized, but having come straight to Christmasthrough the reset, he doesn't know anything about it and, as a result, also doesn't know who he got, let alone brought a gift. Disappointed, the girls remind him that he was the one tracking the names, so there's no one he could ask for help, though he considers asking Maya since she might know despite the reset.
