## Background

The end of the midterm exams signaled the approach of Christmas break. However, Kaoru noticed that the usually energetic Ellen was not too excited about Christmas. Ellen revealed that circumstances will keep her family from spending Christmas day together, so Kaoru decided to join Ellen on Christmas day. However, this plan was interrupted by Sana's abrupt assignment of Kaoru to another expedition. Soon, they noticed that Mihono was also glum during the approaching holidays, and it was because of failing the last exam and expecting supplementary classes to make up for it.

As the three girls expected to have a "black Christmas" this year, they overheard a conversation about a Unified Christmas Mock Battle that will reward the winner with one wish that the head of the Origami Family will fulfill. After confirming that the Mock Battle was real, the girls decided to join the event, hoping that Yukari would deal with their Christmas problems. Meanwhile, Sayaka turned down Mai's offer to join her in a Christmas party after being told by President Takatsu to win the Mock Battle.

The Mock Battle took place on Christmas Eve, with Yukari declaring the promise that she would grant the winner's wish and Maki explaining the rules of the event. The winner of the Mock Battle would be the one who would take the star mounted at the very top of the Christmas tree set up at the venue of the Tournament finals, which was guarded by Yume and Suzuka. Participants were given until 10 pm to meet the objective. Yomi also advised participants to respond to Aradama sightings, although it held no bearing to the competition.

On Maki's signal, the Unified Christmas Mock Battle began. Mihono was shocked to discover that winning involved getting through one of the Elite Guards, while Mai told Sayaka to examine the battle before taking action. Meanwhile, Kaoru started losing interest in the event upon realizing the effort needed to win. Ellen, however, pushed Kaoru to challenge themselves this time. As Suzuka and Yume continued to push back participants from stealing the Christmas star, Mihono talked to fellow participant Chie about her worries about the event. Chie was already prepared to help in her studies regardless and supported her along the way, while Kofuki turned down Mihono's offer to help her in the Mock Battle, preferring to fight Aradama instead of fellow Toji.

Ellen and Kaoru decided to take a closer look at their biggest foe in the event. Although unable to make an opening against Yume and Suzuka, Ellen discovered that they fought differently than normal, using Hachimanriki to push back any attackers. As Ellen and Kaoru retreated, Sayaka began her offensive along with Mai, but they too were forced back. After reexamining their strategies, Mai asked Sayaka about her wish. Sayaka's wish was simply about wanting to eat more of Mai's cookies, something that Mai was always ready to fulfill.

Soon, Yume left the vicinity of the Christmas tree, seemingly bored at the lack of challenge provided by the participants. Realizing that the only ones who pose a challenge to her won't fight her directly, Yume decided to spar with Maki instead, leaving Suzuka as the only person guarding the Christmas star. In addition, she also wanted Yukari to fulfill her wish, something that Yukari agreed to as long as the Christmas star remained untouched by anyone. Yume then secretly planned to prepare something for Yomi's birthday that day, using this as motivation to continue doing her part in the event.

Yume returned to Suzuka's side, this time eager to keep no one from taking the Christmas star. Mihono and Chie once again failed to get past the two Elite Guards and retreated. Chie apologized for not being helpful during the event, something that Mihono denied. Then, they started talking about their childhood past, as well as their memories of Christmas together. After feeling inspired to continue the challenge, they were joined by Sayaka, Mai and Ellen, with Kaoru deciding to stop participating due to fatigue. Ellen revealed that she was planning a combined strategy against Yume and Suzuka and asked for a joining of forces, supporting whoever would be the one who would take the star. Upon returning to the Christmas tree, Mai and Sayaka faced Yume while Chie and Mihono held off Suzuka. Suddenly, Ellen barged into Yume's clash with Sayaka, anticipating Yume to swat her away using Hachimanriki. To Suzuka's shock, Yume launched Ellen upwards, allowing her to quickly reach the Christmas star, securing the win.

Maki officially declared Ellen as the winner of the Unified Christmas Mock Battle. Mai assured Sayaka that her wish of cookies would come true, and Yume voiced her disappointment over not being able to give a year's worth of Akita rice as a present for Yomi. Meanwhile, Kaoru came to congratulate Ellen for winning the event and to ask for her wish. Initially, Ellen thought of giving Kaoru her Christmas vacation time, but after Kaoru urged Ellen to do something for herself, she decided to ask for a Unified Christmas Party so that everyone would enjoy the occasion. With nobody objecting to the idea of a Christmas party, Yukari approved Ellen's wish and quickly began its preparations.
