"The Christmas Thieves Attack!"[]
- "A brutal team of thieves, here to steal the city's beloved Christmas trees. We thought they were just an urban legend—until now! They're after the tree, and that rhymes with T, which stands for Trouble, right here in Littledove Hachiman City. Christmas trees, disappearing. A dark shadow, wriggling just out of sight. Can our faithful heroes from Saint Pigeonation's put an end to this mystery before it puts an end to them!?"

"Fallen Chronicles: Absolute Zero" Summary
|
|---|
| The episode starts with a black screen, and then a lab scene. An unknown character despairs upon discovery that his results are inferior to those of his coworker. He complains that his coworker’s work has no beauty, and then states that he will leave and find a place where his genius is appreciated. The character ends the scene by saying that his name is Tohri Nishikikouji, and that he will not use an alias because he has pride in his name.
The story resumes in the library on the last day of school before winter break (presumably the 23rd). Hiyoko Tosaka complains about the cold in the library, and Nageki Fujishiro points out Anghel Higure freezing to death on the floor. Upon revival, Anghel talks about needing to complete the “[g]reat prognostications of the future” and to “bring them to the battlefield of the Gods” on the Day of Judgment, Ragnarok. Hiyoko suggests that Anghel work on it at home instead of the cold library, and Anghel agrees. Later, Hiyoko is freezing in her cave. She receives a text from Ryouta Kawara asking her to meet him in town, and she decides to buy a wearable blanket while she is out. At the café, Ryouta asks her if she’s doing anything on New Years’ Eve, then requests that she be a volunteer salesgirl at Comiket, a convention where birds buy and sell manga. Anghel had asked Ryouta to help out at his booth, but Ryouta had already agreed to help out at another booth. After some misunderstanding about the nature of the convention, Ryouta suggests that Hiyoko study up for her first time at Comiket. On New Year’s Eve, Hiyoko meets up with Anghel and Kazuaki Nanaki, who had agreed to chaperone Anghel in the absence of the manga club’s advisor, who was helping at a company booth. Inside the convention, Anghel shows off his manga, ‘’Dark Angel Story’’. After a while of no one stopping by, Ryouta shows up dressed as Coore Grey from Hatocatch Pretty Coore[1]. Upon Hiyoko's request, Ryouta performs Coore Grey's signature line, "A single flower blooming in the asphalt road!" Ryouta tells Hiyoko that while not all salesgirls cosplay, everybody always makes sure to remind him to come in costume. Ryouta excuses himself to help his sales booth, which had just sold out, clean up. Hiyoko notes that she had never seen Ryouta look so competent before. Still no one stops by Anghel's booth, and soon it was almost closing time. Hiyoko apologizes to Anghel for not coming in cosplay, but Anghel tells her not to blame herself. As Anghel is putting himself down, a golden pheasant approaches the booth and asks who was running the circle. The golden pheasant lavishly praises Anghel's artistic ability, and then introduces himself as Tohri Nishikikouji, editor-in-chief of the manga magazine Golden Weekly. When Hiyoko mispronounces Tohri's name as "Bishikikouji Toshiki"[2], Tohri promises to make her wish she was never born if she mispronounced it again. Tohri offers to help Anghel, and tells Anghel to come to the location on his business card during the new year. Both Hiyoko and Kazuaki find Tohri suspicious, especially when Kazuaki noticed that Tohri had known Anghel's name without any of them ever mentioning it. On the first day after winter break, Hiyoko returns to school and finds Anghel at school on honors student time. Anghel reveals to Hiyoko that he was going to meet with Tohri for the first time. Hiyoko, still suspicious of Tohri, offers to go with Anghel, but he refuses, preferring to go alone. Some days later, Hiyoko, Ryouta, and Okosan decide to go to the cafeteria with them and sample the mixed-bean sukiyaki udon, a superb dish only sold a few weeks during the school year. Sakuya Le Bel Shirogane agrees to go with them after Hiyoko lies that sukiyaki used to be eaten by Japanese nobles. At the cafeteria, Sakuya decides that sukiyaki is not bad, Okosan scarfs down his meal, and Hiyoko and Ryouta trade their beans and meat. Hiyoko spots Anghel near the tableware. Hiyoko, noticing that Anghel isn't as energetic as usual, assumes that Tohri said something terrible to Anghel, but Anghel happily states otherwise. After Anghel had left, Ryouta notes that he had never seen Anghel so pale and tired.  Pretty Coore! Open my Hato!
One week later, Hiyoko wakes up on Sunday just in time to watch the second half of Pretty Coore. After the show ends, Hiyoko goes to school for makeup day. At the foot of the stairwell, she finds Anghel white as a sheet, collapsed, and rambling about blood. Hiyoko hurriedly carries Anghel to the infirmary, as he fainted completely along the way. Once at the infirmary, Hiyoko brings Anghel to Yuuya Sakazaki, who was watching the infirmary and Miru and Kaku while the doctor was overseas for a week doing research. Yuuya determines that Anghel is suffering from low blood pressure, and suggests that Anghel stay to rest in the infirmary so he could make sure his condition wasn't dangerous. |
