からかい上手の(元)高木さん » Volume 6 » Page 30

As they decorate their Christmas tree, Chii learns from her mother that kids need to be good because Santa is always watching. Chii wants Christmas to arrive soon so she doesn’t have to keep being good, until she takes a look at the decorated tree.

「ずっとこのままでいいなー。」
"It might also be nice if it stays this way forever."
「でもクリスマスもはやくきてほしいんだー。」
"But I want Christmas to also hurry and come."
