Since he'll be in Kanto joining Chiemi's class Christmas party, Haruma won't be with his class for theirs and he already informed the Class Reps, which they accepted. But although he won't be around, Haruma is still joining the gift giving and now, he's picking a random name and letter. Afterwards, he'll get his gift early and leave it here to be given away to its recipient before his departure for Kanto. Now, he is alone in the classroom with Ashi, Gohan, Suke and Angela going through the selection. Ashi placed two boxes full of paper slips on the table in front of Haruma. "Okay Hinata, we got the names all in here!" Haruma tilted his head. "So I just, take one from each box?" "Yeah! You only pick once so no second draws except when you accidentally take your own name! Otherwise, what you pick is what you get!" Said Suke. The Nomu hummed with a shrug then proceeded to take his picks. The Class Reps started talking between each other. "Too bad Hinata won't be joining our party. But he deserves to be with his gf." Suke chortled. Gohan looked confused. "Don't say that Suke. Hinata said Chiyumi's cousin Chiemi is not his girlfriend so many times!" "Oh Gokuhara!" Ashi laughed before wincing amusedly. "Gee, at least Hinata has more feeling now. As Kamukura he was so quiet throughout the party but hey, presence counts! Oh, that reminds me! Who picked him again, it was you right Suke?" Suke groaned. "Don't remind me! It was so hard deciding what to get the not-quite-normal human that he was back there! It didn't help that I got the letter B! Plenty of things start with B!" "But at least you ended up settling on that yacht in a bottle! I hear from Masa and Kiyomi that Hinata as Kamukura liked it! It's on display in his apartment right now!" Angela said warmly. Ashi shrugged. "At least he celebrated with us once at all. I remember Tanaka getting his witchcraft book from Kamukura. Dunno how he got that one but he had a W for Tanaka's gift so..." Gohan looked excited. "Oh Gohan excited now! Gohan wonders who Hinata chooses and what letter!" Angela giggled lightly. "That depends Gokuhara! Unless it's one of us in this room, Hinata can't tell us!" "Then if he does tell us, we have to not tell anyone. Just like last year and the year before that, okay?" Ashi reminded warmly. "Gohan understands!" Gohan replied cheerfully. Suke crossed his paws. "Well Hinata? What's the name and what letter?" Haruma unfolded the name paper and his eyes widened. "Idabashi." "Okay? And the letter?" Asked Ashi. "I got the letter D." Haruma replied and blinked. "Huh.. This one's going to be tough. I know many things that start with that letter but I don't know which one to give." "You'll figure it out I'm sure! Just make sure to have the present by the time you leave!" Suke reassured. Angela nodded. "Yes, Lord Atua says it doesn't matter what you bestow upon thy neighbor. What does is that it comes from the heart." "Hm.. I gotta make it special. Yeah, I think I know what to get now." Haruma murmured with a small smile as he tucked the slips into his pocket, already feeling sure about what to gift his robot pal. After leaving the Class Reps, he returned to his apartment where he got started on making his gift using the crafting materials he had in his office.
