The Season's Already Winter

is chapter 176 of the Beelzebub manga.

Summary
Furuichi begins furiously apologizing to Kanzaki and Himekawa while digging a hole in the dirt. He digs further at their demands, with additional help from Oga, and is subsequently left buried in the hole once it is big enough. Tōjō ends up pulling him out and asks whether they can continue their fight, though Lamia states that neither of them can given their current injuries.

Hearing Lamia's words, Yuka and Chiaki start gossiping after they think that Lamia and Furuichi are "playing" doctor with each other, upsetting Furuichi. Oga eventually steps up and tells them to stop making fun of him even if they do find him weird. Surprisingly, Nene is already aware of that and ultimately has the other members stop harassing him, too. She then remarks that she is jealous of Oga's and Furuichi's relationship; with that said, she says for everyone to start heading home.

Late at night, Furuichi hands back the Demonic tissues from the Great Demon Lord to Oga. However, Hilda takes the tissues instead and states that she will burn them.

At the Oga residence, Oga's Mother and Misaki tell Hilda about Christmas and how a person known as Santa Claus usually distributes gifts on that day. While telling her about the holiday, they end up drifting off to a memory when Oga still believed in Santa Claus as a young toddler. After the two women finish reminiscing, Misaki tells Hilda that she and her younger brother are Baby Beel's Santa Claus so they should pick out a present for him.

Hilda later writes a list of gifts that she intends to give to Baby Beel for Christmas, even marking on the calender for the day of the holiday. Upon reading the list, Oga becomes annoyed and protests that her gifts are unsuitable for the holiday to give to the young infant; however, he considers only giving Baby Beel a mechanical pencil as a present. Upset, Hilda attacks Oga and begins lamenting over his status as her master's father.

She then notices that Baby Beel is hungry and demands Oga to give her milk; angry from earlier, he throws it, which prompts Baby Beel to try and catch it. In the ensuing chaos, Hilda and Baby Beel end up sharing a kiss. After a brief moment, Hilda suddenly rises from the ground and shyly asks whether Oga remembers her; shocked, Oga instead looks at the amnesiac and friendly Hilda from before.
