✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG ꜜ she/glam（DIVA HOUSE） ― Then... Can I do whatever I like?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HOON" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― Mhm!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG ꜜ she/glam（DIVA HOUSE） ― I'll fill up the Diva House room with GLITTER.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HOON" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― ... OK, no.

For God's sake...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG ꜜ she/glam（DIVA HOUSE） ― [pouts] Boring...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HOON" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― What use does that even have?!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HAO" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― [appearing from behind XIAOQIONG] Well, I have an idea...

And where does he even come from?!

Of course he's whispering just so I won't hear anything too...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG ꜜ she/glam（DIVA HOUSE） ― [clapping her hands] This sounds great! I will do that~

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HAO" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― Of course! Shall I help you out then? You can also pick someone among the contestants to help you out.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG ꜜ she/glam（DIVA HOUSE） ― Mhm...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HOON" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― ...

I am scared.

❪ 📍 Car...? ❫

Out at this hour of the day? Seriously?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JEON NAKYOUNG ꜜ she/siri（DECONSTRUCTED CLUB） ― Couldn't you ask Seoyoon?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG ꜜ she/glam（DIVA HOUSE） ― I would never wake up my princess from her afternoon nap. And I love spending time with you too!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JEON NAKYOUNG ꜜ she/siri（DECONSTRUCTED CLUB） ― Wouldn't you take me out for a dessert, then? A small treat before getting into this...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG ꜜ she/glam（DIVA HOUSE） ― [deadpan] That's going to be your Christmas gift.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JEON NAKYOUNG ꜜ she/siri（DECONSTRUCTED CLUB） ― Oh great heavens, aren't we being parsimonious here?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG ꜜ she/glam（DIVA HOUSE） ― I'm joking! I could never refuse you anything~

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG ꜜ she/glam（DIVA HOUSE） ― Just make sure it's within our budget.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JEON NAKYOUNG ꜜ she/siri（DECONSTRUCTED CLUB） ― [chuckles, pinching XIAOQIONG's cheek] Of course. Thank you.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG ꜜ she/glam（DIVA HOUSE） ― No, thank you! I couldn't do it all alone.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG ꜜ she/glam（DIVA HOUSE） ―  Hao and Hoon sure are helpful... But we need more manpower.

Xiaoqiong and I are on our way to the mall for Christmas shopping, authorized by the Seiyuu Academy production.

It's going to be fun...

Probably.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HOON" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― [driving] This is the worst idea you could've ever had. Someone is definitely going to get offended.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG ꜜ she/glam（DIVA HOUSE） ― Your boyfriend thinks otherwise.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HOON" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― That's not really a solid indicator of anything.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JEON NAKYOUNG ꜜ she/siri（DECONSTRUCTED CLUB） ― ... He's not denying they're together anymore?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HOON" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― [sighing] What's the use, at this point? You guys tease me over it anyways.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG ꜜ she/glam（DIVA HOUSE） ― Mhm, indeed.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JEON NAKYOUNG ꜜ she/siri（DECONSTRUCTED CLUB） ― Yes, yes, I understand.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HOON" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― You're not even going to deny it?!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG ꜜ she/glam（DIVA HOUSE） ― Shut up and drive!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JEON NAKYOUNG ꜜ she/siri（DECONSTRUCTED CLUB） ― I think Rihanna had a song named like that.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HOON" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― [slamming his head on the steering wheel] I HATE THIS JOB.

▎ "HAO".
❪ 📍 Mall ❫

They woke me up from my nap in the car and told me to record everything... How boring.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HOON" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― [sighing] Make yourself useful for once, will you?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HAO" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― I am, actually!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HOON" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― Not right now, no.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HAO" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― ...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HOON" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― Nakyoung, it's quite cold outside... Take this.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JEON NAKYOUNG ꜜ she/siri（DECONSTRUCTED CLUB） ― Oh, thank you.

Nakyoung takes the coat Hoon is offering her...

Ugh... I wish he'd do that more often for me too.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HOON" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― [annoyed] Hao.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HAO" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― Hey, I'm jealous!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HOON" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― ... Over a coat?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HAO" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― [pouting] You being kind to people in general! Why not me...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HOON" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― This is literally my [BLEEP]ing job.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG ꜜ she/glam（DIVA HOUSE） ― SHUT THE [BLEEP] UP, YOU LOVEBIRDS.

...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG ꜜ she/glam（DIVA HOUSE） ― [clapping her hands] Perfect! First, Nakyoung and I are going to have a well-deserved dessert break.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HOON" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― You haven't even done anything yet...?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG ꜜ she/glam（DIVA HOUSE） ― You can come too.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HOON" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― Thank you for the hard work! Let's go celebrate!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG ꜜ she/glam（DIVA HOUSE） ― Woohoo! Strawberry meringue cake, here I come~

▎ "HOON".
❪ 📍 Mall ❫

After a short dessert break, we're finally on our way to help Xiaoqiong prepare for her special idea.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HAO" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― I even got to feed you... ♡

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HOON" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― After I asked you not to... [sighs] You're going to kill me with these sugars. If you have to embarrass me publicly, at least pick something sugar-free.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HAO" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― You liked that cake, though?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HOON" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― The problem isn't whether I like it or not... The problem is I AM DIABETIC.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HAO" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― ... I might've forgotten about that.

Oh, wow, how surprising really...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HAO" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― [pouting] I'm sorry, OK...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG ꜜ she/glam（DIVA HOUSE） ― STOP PUSHING.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HOON" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― ... What's mushy about this, exactly? ¹

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JEON NAKYOUNG ꜜ she/siri（DECONSTRUCTED CLUB） ― Oh, I think she means that literally. You're pushing her.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HOON" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― I'M SORRY.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG ꜜ she/glam（DIVA HOUSE） ― And could you be quiet? I can't concentrate and I can't decide what to buy.

...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JEON NAKYOUNG ꜜ she/siri（DECONSTRUCTED CLUB） ― Mhm... What about going here first?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG ꜜ she/glam（DIVA HOUSE） ― What a great idea! I don't want to spend too much money so this is the perfect solution! Let's go!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HOON" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― What can you even buy at ◯?

Wait, am I even allowed to say the name?

T/N: Apparently not.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HAO" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― Are you seriously asking this question? They sell literally everything you can think of.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JEON NAKYOUNG ꜜ she/siri（DECONSTRUCTED CLUB） ― And for an infinitesimal fee as well...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG ꜜ she/glam（DIVA HOUSE） ― What are you waiting for? Let's go!

Time to enter the shop, I guess...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HOON" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― Uh... Excuse me? Are we allowed to use our camera here?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ EMPLOYEE ― ... Do whatever you want? What a stupid question.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HOON" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― ...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HAO" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― Talk like that to him one more time and I will [BLEEP] you up in ways you can't even imagine.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ EMPLOYEE ― SECURITY.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG ꜜ she/glam（DIVA HOUSE） ― I am truly sorry for the irresponsible behavior of such a fool. Please forgive us. Please don't kick us out yet. I think we will have to visit other stores.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ EMPLOYEE ― What is she saying.

This is not looking good for us...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JEON NAKYOUNG ꜜ she/siri（DECONSTRUCTED CLUB） ― [sighs] Where is Kyu when we need him?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG ꜜ she/glam（DIVA HOUSE） ― I CAN'T STAND BEING KICKED OUT OF OTHER STORES. PLEASE FORGIVE ME OR I'M GOING TO KILL MYSELF.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ EMPLOYEE ― SECURITY.

I'm never doing this again.

▎ "HOON".
❪ 📍 Mall ❫

... And so, we got kicked out.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JEON NAKYOUNG ꜜ she/siri（DECONSTRUCTED CLUB） ― ...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HOON" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― What the [BLEEP] is wrong with you two?!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HAO" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― That employee was rude first.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HOON" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― And you could've easily ignored them! That always happens, you can't just reply back like that and expect them to take it calmly... You don't have any power over them either.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG ꜜ she/glam（DIVA HOUSE） ― [pouting] And they still kicked us out...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JEON NAKYOUNG ꜜ she/siri（DECONSTRUCTED CLUB） ― I'm sure we'll find another shop. What about ◯?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG ꜜ she/glam（DIVA HOUSE） ― As always, your brain is doing amazing things, Nakyoung! I can't believe I couldn't remember, but of course I couldn't remember in the chaos that was caused by these two damn lovers.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HOON" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― Hey.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG ꜜ she/glam（DIVA HOUSE） ― Your boyfriend kicked us out. Take responsibility!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HOON" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― [slamming his head against the wall] I HAD ENOUGH. Let's go to ◯ already.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HOON" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― [pointing at HAO from behind the camera] And YOU stay out.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HAO" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― [pouting] Aw...

▎ "HOON".
❪ 📍 Mall ❫

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG ꜜ she/glam（DIVA HOUSE） ― Nakyoung, randomize.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JEON NAKYOUNG ꜜ she/siri（DECONSTRUCTED CLUB） ― On it.

What are these two doing...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JEON NAKYOUNG ꜜ she/siri（DECONSTRUCTED CLUB） ― A magnifying glass.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG ꜜ she/glam（DIVA HOUSE） ― Aw, that's cute... Alright! Let's go!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JEON NAKYOUNG ꜜ she/siri（DECONSTRUCTED CLUB） ― I'm glad the presents so far are smaller things... I wonder what would happen if the randomizer picked something more outlandish.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HOON" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― ... What are you doing, exactly?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JEON NAKYOUNG ꜜ she/her（DECONSTRUCTED CLUB） ― Oh, Xiaoqiong doesn't know what to buy, so we found one of those "Random Object" generators online and we're selecting our presents for her Christmas Lotto.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HOON" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― I'm... I'm sure there other ways to go about it?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG ꜜ she/glam（DIVA HOUSE） ― [deadpan] No.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HOON" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― OK, no. Fine. You're right.

At this point I give up trying to reason with glam.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG ꜜ she/glam（DIVA HOUSE） ― Nakyoung, next item!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JEON NAKYOUNG ꜜ she/siri（DECONSTRUCTED CLUB） ― Alright.

Nakyoung uses the randomizer once again as Xiaoqiong cheerfully pushes the cart from a section to another.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JEON NAKYOUNG ꜜ she/siri（DECONSTRUCTED CLUB） ― Scotch whisky.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG ꜜ she/glam（DIVA HOUSE） ― YES.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HOON" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― NO.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG ꜜ she/glam（DIVA HOUSE） ― I said yes.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HOON" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― AND I SAID NO. I'd like to keep my job, if possible!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JEON NAKYOUNG ꜜ she/siri（DECONSTRUCTED CLUB） ― This is the most mendacious statement you've ever released during our time in Seiyuu Academy 2. Can't you find a motivation that truly resonates with you at least?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HOON" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― ... OK, I might not like this job, but money doesn't grow on trees.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG ꜜ she/glam（DIVA HOUSE） ― [with a hand on HOON's shoulder] We know about Seiyuu Academy 1's beer incident, by the way. ²

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HOON" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― ...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG ꜜ she/glam（DIVA HOUSE） ― There is no way out. Give up.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HOON" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― ... If anything happens, I'm blaming it on Hao.

T/N: As if the higher-ups don't watch the extras...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG ꜜ she/glam（DIVA HOUSE） ― [clapping her hands, enthusiastically] Yippee yay! Thank you!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JEON NAKYOUNG ꜜ she/siri（DECONSTRUCTED CLUB） ― Let's write it down for later, then. Next up is...

I HATE THIS JOB.

At last, we're done with our shopping. Hoon and Hao are currently carrying our bags from the car.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HOON" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― Couldn't you help out?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JEON NAKYOUNG ꜜ she/siri（DECONSTRUCTED CLUB） ― Well, yes... But I didn't really want to.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HOON" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― Why are you like this... [sighs, shaking his head] At least Xiaoqiong is helping, I guess.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG ꜜ she/glam（DIVA HOUSE） ― [with a huge box in her hands] Huzzah!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HAO" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― Damn, she's stronger than you! Not like it takes a lot...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HOON" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― Hey.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HAO" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― [ignoring HOON] But to carry a Christmas tree like that...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG ꜜ she/glam（DIVA HOUSE） ― Let's leave these here!

Xiaoqiong leaves her box next to the teacher's desk, with Hao and Hoon following suit.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG ꜜ she/glam（DIVA HOUSE） ― We need to call someone to help us move the desks. Nakyoung, could you ask one of our former third-year students?

T/N: She meant people from Class Three.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JEON NAKYOUNG ꜜ she/siri（DECONSTRUCTED CLUB） ― Sure, but... Who do I leave the camera to?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HAO" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― Bring it with you! You might catch something funny on camera.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JEON NAKYOUNG ꜜ she/siri（DECONSTRUCTED CLUB） ― As if... [sighs] Whatever, I will.

... I guess I can get two in one this way.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JEON NAKYOUNG ꜜ she/siri（DECONSTRUCTED CLUB） ― [knocking on the door] Greetings. May I please cross the doorway to your humble abod-

Ijun opens the door and rushes out of the dorm, bumping into Nakyoung and making her fall to the ground.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JEON NAKYOUNG ꜜ she/siri（DECONSTRUCTED CLUB） ― Heavens to Betsy!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SEOK IJUN ꜜ he/him（DECONSTRUCTED CLUB） ― Man, can't you speak normally for once?! Ouch...

It takes a while for the camera to focus again as Nakyoung picks it up from the floor...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JEON NAKYOUNG ꜜ she/siri（DECONSTRUCTED CLUB） ― Do you know where I can find Nathan Chae and Hong Inkyu? We require them for the preparations of today's Christmas party.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SEOK IJUN ꜜ he/him（DECONSTRUCTED CLUB） ― Oh, they're inside. Let me call them.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SEOK IJUN ꜜ he/him（DECONSTRUCTED CLUB） ― [at the top of his lungs] KYU! NATHAN! STOP EATING EACH OTHER'S FACE!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JEON NAKYOUNG ꜜ she/siri（DECONSTRUCTED CLUB） ― WHAT.

T/N: This is the most expressive we've ever heard siri, I think.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ LIU YIYUAN ꜜ he/him（POP CITY） ― [popping up from behind IJUN] Oh, they're not doing that for real.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JEON NAKYOUNG ꜜ she/siri（DECONSTRUCTED CLUB） ― Why would you even say that.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SEOK IJUN ꜜ he/him（DECONSTRUCTED CLUB） ― More content for the cameras! They love Yaoi Academy after all... Does it work?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JEON NAKYOUNG ꜜ she/siri（DECONSTRUCTED CLUB） ― ...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ LIU YIYUAN ꜜ he/him（POP CITY） ― ...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JEON NAKYOUNG ꜜ she/siri（DECONSTRUCTED CLUB） ― Just move already.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SEOK IJUN ꜜ he/him（DECONSTRUCTED CLUB） ― Yes ma'am.

What even was that... These kids...

At last, the preparations for the Christmas party are over, also thanks to Kyu and Nathan's help, and we're now reunited in the Diva House classroom for Xiaoqiong to start with her surprise for the others.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG ꜜ she/glam（DIVA HOUSE） ― Hello everyone and welcome to my super special Christmas party!

The other students all clap enthusiastically.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG ꜜ she/glam（DIVA HOUSE） ― I've organized a Christmas raffle, your money will go towards paying for the food you're eating right now.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG ꜜ she/glam（DIVA HOUSE） ― This is entirely out of my pocket, as the production refused to refund my money after I spent theirs on your presents.

None of those presents is even valuable enough for them to refuse to pay for food. What the hell...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG ꜜ she/glam（DIVA HOUSE） ― The papers with your names on them were prepared by Hoon to ensure maximum fairness, so don't complain that you didn't win anything, I really don't care. Got it?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ KWAK YOUNGDAE ꜜ he/him（DIVA HOUSE） ― [gulps, swallowing down his candy] ... Yes.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG ꜜ she/glam（DIVA HOUSE） ― Great! So let's get started right away. We'll start by drawing out the names... But first, let's announce the grand prize!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG ꜜ she/glam（DIVA HOUSE） ― The person whose name we will draw will win these adorable scissors!

Oh wow... What an amazing gift...

The first name to come out is...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG ꜜ she/glam（DIVA HOUSE） ― [showing the paper to the others] Chu Minjeong! Congratulations! You can come pick up your prize.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ CHU MINJEONG ꜜ she/her（POP CITY） ― [bowing] Ah, thank you!

Everybody claps as Minjeong stands up to collect her prize, unwrapping the pink and orange packaging before revealing a pair of surprisingly huge pink scissors.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ CHU MINJEONG ꜜ she/her（POP CITY） ― [with a tear running down her cheek] I'm so thankful... This is the best thing that ever happened to me in the last few years... Thank you... Thank you...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HOON" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― ... It's just a pair of pink scissors.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ CHU MINJEONG ꜜ she/her（POP CITY） ― SILENCE.

Minjeong and Hoon bicker for a while before the former eventually goes back to her seat.

What the [BLEEP] is her problem?!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG ꜜ she/glam（DIVA HOUSE） ― Next up is the laser pointer! Who will be the lucky winner?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JAYDEN IM ꜜ he/him（POP CITY） ― A laser pointer.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG ꜜ she/glam（DIVA HOUSE） ― [showing a smaller box] A laser pointer.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JAYDEN IM ꜜ he/him（POP CITY） ― ...

I wouldn't know what to say either in your place, Jayden...

Xiaoqiong extracts the second name of the night as the other students eat their snacks...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG ꜜ she/glam（DIVA HOUSE） ― And the winner of the laser pointer is...

Nakyoung plays the drums by Xiaoqiong's side as the latter teases the winner.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ ADELAIDE BEAUCHÊNE ꜜ she/her（BUBBLEGUM BASE） ― ... And where did those drums come from?

I wonder.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG ꜜ she/glam（DIVA HOUSE） ― Kwak Youngdae! Congratulations!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ KWAK YOUNGDAE ꜜ he/him（DIVA HOUSE） ― Oh, yay!

It is now Youngdae's turn to pick up his prize, the other students just as enthusiastic as they were before.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ KWAK YOUNGDAE ꜜ he/him（DIVA HOUSE） ― I will have lots of fun with this! I was getting bored in the dorms...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG ꜜ she/glam（DIVA HOUSE） ― Glad to hear that! Congratulations again!

The raffle continues, with the students receiving the most random gifts. Some of them end up being more useful...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JAYDEN IM ꜜ he/him（POP CITY） ― Thanks for the umbrella... I guess?

... While others are, although cute, extremely impractical.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG ꜜ she/glam（DIVA HOUSE） ― [with a huge box in her arms] And the winner of the giant Pikachu plush is...

WHEN DID SHE BUY THAT.

No wonder the production did NOT want to pay for the food.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG ꜜ she/glam（DIVA HOUSE） ― Han Soyul!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HAN SOYUL ꜜ she/her（POP CITY） ― YES.

After the end of the raffle, the students have started doing their own thing. Some of them are eating the food, carefully picked by Xiaoqiong with the staff to make sure everyone can eat everything without any problem; other students are having a loud, heated karaoke session.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ KANG DOHEE ꜜ she/her（DECONSTRUCTED CLUB） ― ♪ LET IT GOOO, LET IT GOOOOO... CAN'T HOLD IT BACK ANYMOOOOORE... ♪

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HAN SOYUL ꜜ she/her（POP CITY） ― ♪ LET IT GOOO, LET IT GOOOOOOOOOO... TURN AWAYYY AND SLAM THE DOOOOOOR... ♪

✹ ﹒ ﹒ AMARI HARUHIRO ꜜ he/him（POP CITY） ― ... I don't think I should've given them any of my scotch.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ CHEN YULIAN ꜜ she/they（POP CITY） ― How come you received something that cool to begin with? [pouting] That's unfair.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ CHA YUBIN ꜜ she/her（POP CITY） ― You say that as if you didn't get an harmonica!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ AMARI HARUHIRO ꜜ he/him（POP CITY） ― [acting dramatic, staring into space] And I need my alcohol to survive the horrors...

... No, you all need a therapist.

I don't really get everyone's enthusiasm, actually...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG ꜜ she/glam（DIVA HOUSE） ― [visibly displeased] Of course you don't... You're always grumpy. It gets to your head, you know!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HAO" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― Oh, well, that's one thing... He just hates Christmas.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG ꜜ she/glam（DIVA HOUSE） ― WHAT.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HOON" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― It's not that I hate it, I just... Don't get the hype? What's so fun about it?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG ꜜ she/glam（DIVA HOUSE） ― Well, obviously, socializing! There are people who wouldn't even know about each other without this party, or wouldn't have the occasion to talk to anyone... But look there! That's such a random group...

The camera pans over Nakyoung, Ren, Junseong and Yunzhi, currently busy playing Wii Party.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SHIMIZU REN ꜜ she/her（DIVA HOUSE） ― NO. NOT GLOBE TROT AGAIN.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ QIU YUNZHI ꜜ he/they（POP CITY） ― Why? What's the problem?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SHIMIZU REN ꜜ she/her（DIVA HOUSE） ― We were playing with Muchen and Jayden earlier, and both Nakyoung and Muchen nearly KILLED Jayden for winning over them...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ WANG MUCHEN ꜜ he/they（DECONSTRUCTED CLUB） ― I TELL YOU HE WAS CHEATING.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ KIM JUNSEONG ꜜ he/him（BUBBLEGUM BASE） ― [shaking his head, disapproving] Mon Dieu, Muchen... What did we say about attacking strangers for winning against us? I will have to tell your father...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JAYDEN IM ꜜ he/him（POP CITY） ― So he does this regularly?!

... What the hell is wrong with everyone here.

The camera pans back to Xiaoqiong.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG ꜜ she/glam（DIVA HOUSE） ― Listen, I get it. The Seiyuu Academy studio is a stressing place to be in. But it is for this reason that I worked hard to give people a fun Christmas to let loose!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG ꜜ she/glam（DIVA HOUSE） ― You worked hard. You could join us too.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HOON" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― ... Maybe you're right.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG ꜜ she/glam（DIVA HOUSE） ― Of course I am! Guan Xiaoqiong is never wrong.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HAO" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― [nodding] Yes, yes.

FEVEN'S CORNER !!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On May 25... Haha... But at last, this extra is out! Help Me I Am Melting Under The Sun. ❄️🎁☃️🎄 All jokes aside, this was actually quite fun to write, so I hope it is just as fun to read as well~ Most of the next extras are going to be shorter but also more concentrated, with two daily updates rather than one. You'll see why soon! I'm very excited already... Hehe... 😊 Please look forward to them all!

As for the voting, as I mentioned yesterday, the selection for the male contestants is going to be two students rather than three this time. The question is formatted in the same way purely to collect answers more efficiently as I count the votes. I will send the confirmation messages in a few hours from now, please be patient. 🙏🏽

¹ A mistranslation from Google Translator as I tried to have Xiaoqiong say "stop acting all lovey-dovey", but I thought it'd be funnier if Hoon looked too into it without even considering she could mean it literally.

² Shown in the only Seiyuu Academy Mysteries extra that is currently available in Seiyuu Academy 1's book, former contestants and current niveau seuil members Alice, Hannah and Kyuhyung were shown uncovering Seiyuu Academy 1 mentor Eguchi Takuya's hidden beer stack in the teacher's room.
