Kitagawa Kai and Shiina Hiyori helped solve a murder before returning to the group’s Izu Christmas gathering, where a stray kitten joined their plans. The holiday brought new romantic confessions and ended with Kai and the others playing in the snow.

• Kitagawa Kai and Shiina Hiyori investigated the mansion murder, and Hiyori identified Iguchi Maiko as the culprit.
• The group returned to Bay City Mall and Moon Court Villa, where Kitagawa Kai and the girls enjoyed a hot pot dinner and learned the kitten was a healthy stray they could adopt.
• Horikita Manabu received Kitagawa Kai’s deceptively wrapped gift package, while Hoshinomiya Chie coaxed Kai toward the stairs and the group later hung Christmas wishes and watched a movie.
• Sakayanagi Arisu spent time close to Kitagawa Kai during the movie, leaving Amikura Mako reluctant to approach him until she came to his room and confessed her feelings.
• Kitagawa Kai accepted Amikura Mako’s confession and kissed her, while Ichinose Honami, Kushida Kikyo, Sakura Airi, and Shiranami Chihiro hid in his wardrobe as Chabashira Sae visited.
• Snow canceled the morning sightseeing plans, so Kitagawa Kai and the girls played in the courtyard, built ice swords, and chased one another around the snow.
• Ibuki Mio, Kamuro Masumi, and Morishita Ai joined the ice-sword chase before Kamuro warmed her hands between Kitagawa Kai’s palms.
