**Bombs from Santa Claus** is an Ultimate Wizard quest released for the JP Christmas 2021 event for the Japanese version of Crash Fever (in the Japanese version, the quest was labelled as Spectre difficulty instead).

The event also had a story quest associated with it, **Holy Night Operation Spy**; episodes 1-2 will be covered on Wicked Reindeer, episode 3 will be covered on this page, and the rest on Smiling Ruler.

After the events of Wicked Reindeer, Silky continues to monitor Yao Bikuni's movements. She states that nothing notable has happened other than her buying a drink along the way. She admits that she did not expect that she would be unable to find any evidence of wrongdoing from Gareth, and she vows to not let it happen again.

Silky says that it is almost time for the next target to begin moving, and she soon spots her - Little Match Girl. She reports to her organization that she has found her target and will begin following her, and will use a surveillance bot to monitor Yao Bikuni just like last time. Silky states that Little Match Girl once tried to commit an act of terrorism as a result of a grudge she had harbored against the public for many years, but tried to change her ways after it had failed while making use of her abilities for good.

Silky remarks that the grudge must still be present in the back of her mind after all this time, and the fact that she had been working on a bomb for many nights proves it. She states that nobody at the ALICE Fairy Files Christmas party would suspect that the handmade cakes with candle-like bombs are actually real. She says that, with how many cakes Little Match Girl is bringing, the party venue will be completely destroyed. She then wonders just how many AIs have to die before her grudge is settled.

Silky thinks for a moment and says that the disaster could be prevented by disposing of the bombs right now, but that would only stop this and not prevent any future ones. She says that she has to find absolute proof so that she can put a stop to Little Match Girl's plans permanently. Silky then mentions that she found a bomb filled with gunpowder that Little Match Girl had carelessly dropped, and will just need to get one of the handmade cake bombs in order to see if it is a match. She also notes that the boxes will be opened after Little Match Girl reaches the venue and the party begins, so she will need to act after that but before the bombs are lit.

Little Match Girl arrives at the party, and apologizes for being late. Silky tells herself that now is the time to act, and that she can't let her guard down for the sake of ALICE. She makes her way to the venue, passing by Eris, who is complaining about how Ares made her go shopping in such cold weather. She finds Little Match Girl presenting the cakes, mentioning that she made them with her grandmother and that there is an extra surprise within them. Urashima notices the matches on the cakes, and asks her about it.

Silky realizes that she miscalculated and that Little Match Girl had already lit the match on the cake, with sparks already coming off of the bomb. Little Match Girl says that she put her heart into making this special match for all of them, and raised the cake up as the fuse was almost fully lit. However, before anything happens, Silky quickly puts out the fuse. Dismayed, Little Match Girl is saddened that the work she put into that seemed to be for nothing.

Silky quickly examines the contents of the bomb, but realizes that the amount of gunpowder was not what she was expecting. Little Match Girl explains that these were her bomb-shaped fireworks, much to Silky's confusion. Silky admits that the amount of gunpowder would only be enough for small fireworks, and wonders what that bomb that Little Match Girl had dropped was supposed to be. Little Match Girl mentions to the others that she had tried to make a rocket firework earlier, but was unable to do so with that shape, so she gave up on it. She says that she brought small fireworks for the cakes instead, and she realizes that there are still fireworks in the other cakes.

Silky realizes that the bomb that Little Match Girl had dropped wasn't by accident, but rather because she disposed of it. She wonders why Little Match Girl disposed of explosives so carelessly, but admits that there was no maliciousness in the act, just trying to help everyone have fun. She reports back to her organization that Little Match Girl is harmless, and that she will monitor her with a bot for now while she goes to the next location. She also states that she will gather evidence later to determine whether Little Match Girl is truly reformed or not. She then says to herself that her next target is quite some ways away, so she will need to hurry to reach it in time.

The story is continued in Smiling Ruler.
