Thanks for the TL!
Interesting that there's more circling back to past events compared to usual this time. Makes sense with the wreaths.
- They switched back their winter uniforms introduced at the start of the series after using the summer uniforms they made for quite a while.
- Aoyama being suspicious at Fleur as usual.
- Cocoa's joke with wearing the summer uniform for 10 years being referenced.
- Rize grappling Cocoa in their usual manzai routine interactions.
Nice to see Cocoa being more open and even making jokes on the next "little sister" who would use her uniform at Rabbit House next since she her third winter at the half timbered town could be her last wearing the cafe's uniform. Funny that Rize called her out for pretending things are okay since Cocoa has thoughts that she tends to just keep to herself.
Looking forward to how they will spend Christmas this time since there's more recurring characters now with Fuyu, Natsume, Elu, and Yura (who appears more frequently now) compared to their last Christmas celebration back in Vol. 6 Ch. 12 which is roughly 6 (or likely 7) volumes back at this point.
Only thing missing this time is that Gochiusa was on Kirara MAX cover this month. (I'll try to include the cover image here)
