== Plot ==
The story opens up with Chiaki Yoshino wondering what Yoshiyuki Hatori's reaction will be to him finishing his manuscript early and bringing it straight to the Marukawa Publishing building. Once he arrives, he runs into Ritsu Onodera, who explains that Hatori had a meeting somewhere else and that he wouldn't be returning to the office for the day.
Ritsu ends up taking the manuscript in Hatori's place and the two continue to chat, leading to Chiaki realizes that it's Christmas Eve. A few moments later, Chiaki's cellphone begins to ring. It's a call from Hatori, and as expected he's quite shocked to hear about Chiaki finished his manuscript early for once. As they continue to talk though, Chiaki discovers that Hatori is waiting for him at his apartment and has made huge meal. He excitedly ends the phone call and leaves to go buy some alcohol and cake for them to share. On the way out however, he bumps into Takafumi Yokozawa.
Yokozawa is annoyed at first, saying he should watch where he's going, but then Ritsu informs him that the person who just left was Chiharu Yoshikawa, Chiaki's pen-name. Yokozawa is shocked to hear this, and explains that with how busy the New Year's party had been, he had never been able to properly meet him.See The Case of Ritsu Onodera No.8/Season 2 Episode 7 He mentions how he's always getting nagged to get Chiharu Yoshikawa to hold an autograph session, but always getting turned down by both the author and Hatori as his managing editor, so he had always assumed the worst of him. But after seeing him in person, he jokes that Chiaki might actually be popular with his female fanbase.
Eventually, Yokozawa asks Ritsu about Masamune Takano's current whereabouts. Ritsu tells him that Takano is in a meeting and that he's supposed to return to the office when it ends. This annoys Yokozawa, because he was looking for someone to consult about a gift for an elementary schooler, which can be inferred to be referring to Hiyori Kirishima.
At this point, Shouta Kisa walks up to them, having been sent with a message from Zen Kirishima for Yokozawa. He wanted Yokozawa to meet him on the editing floor as soon as possible, and having figured he'd otherwise ignore the request, he told Kisa to mention the following: "I know your secret." This sends Yokozawa into a panic, and Kisa is quick to tease him, even going on to mention a recent picture going around of Yokozawa in a polka-dot apron.See The Case of Takafumi Yokozawa (light novel) or The Case of Takafumi Yokozawa (movie). Yokozawa quickly leaves the scene to avoid any further embarrassment, leaving Kisa and Ritsu alone together.
After a bit of chatting, Kisa's phone rings. It can be inferred from what's being said that Kou Yukina is on the other end of the line. He's saying things like he wants to see Kisa right now and even says he would meet him at the office to pick him up, but Kisa quickly shuts that down and hangs up after telling him he'd meet him at the station. Ritsu listened into the whole conversation and is convinced that Kisa had a girlfriend, and that he had just been speaking with her. Kisa avoids the question and quickly leaves the office.
Ritsu is left to himself, and he thinks to himself that it's about time for him to head home as well, when his cellphone starts to ring. It's a call from Takano, and he tells Ritsu that he'll be heading straight home from the meeting that he'd been out at. He goes on to tell Ritsu that he will be coming over for a Christmas party at his place, leaving no room for Ritsu's opinion, abusing his power as Ritsu's boss saying that he'd increase his workload if he didn't comply. Ritsu wants to ignore him and just head home, but then he remembers that today is Christmas Eve, which is Takano's birthday. Despite that, he wants nothing more than to just get home and rest, as its gotten quite late. But Takano calls him again to tell him he'll be waiting up for Ritsu, telling him to come over, and saying that he just wants to be together. The story closes with Ritsu wishing Takano a happy birthday.
