Calm and mannered New Year's greetings 1-1H

[Utano's room]

Uta: We have year-end soba in front of us... And the time is 11:50 PM...

Uta: Now, let us begin the soba party rally!

Mit: Yay! Clap, clap, clap! Utanon!

Mit: But the only people attending our soba party rally this year are us two...

Uta: It's fine. It's fine, Mii-chan! Next year, for sure!

Uta: I have a dream...

Uta: I have a dream that one day Shikoku will rise up, and people will awaken to the self-evident truth: that everyone was born under soba!

Uta: I have a dream...

Uta:  I have a dream that one day on the hills of Haginooka descendants of the soba party and descendants of the udon party will be able to sit down together at the table of sisterhood!

Mit: Huh? Someone's here.

Uta: Could it be, someone wants to join the soba party!?

Fuu: So this is the soba party's house.

Its: Excuse us.

Uta: To think that out of Inubouzaki Fuu and Nogi Wakaba, the udon party's two pillars, one would change sides and join the soba party!

Fuu: No, nobody's changing sides. I'm in the udon party.

Its: I'm a little interested in soba too, though.

Uta: Is that so!? Then please, have some year-end soba right now!

Mit: Fuu-san, please have some too, let's leave the udon and soba party stuff aside.

Mit: We made a lot, after all.

Its: Thank you very much! Time to eat!

Fuu: Heh... You think you can satisfy me, who's been eating udon since infancy and is called the Udon God Tongue?

Uta: No problemo. Taste it first, would you?

Fuu: *slurp* G-Ghaaa! What's with this deliciousness!?

Fuu: It's not just the taste of soba... I can taste a faint flavour of udon! T-This is...

Uta: Yep! I used Kagawa's udon flour as the binder for the buckwheat flour!

Fuu: U-Udon flour!? Impossible! A staunch supporter of soba like you didn't make 100% buckwheat soba!?

Uta: That's right! It's 10:1 ratio soba that you can recommend even to udon lovers!

Fuu: This... I can't stop eating it! *slurp*

Fuu: Haah... It's so good I almost began to undress.

Its: Onee-chan, what character are you supposed to be? Though it really is very tasty.

Uta: But it's not just delicious on its own. It's delicious because we have friends to eat it together with.

Uta: My best friends... Eating year-end soba with four of us soba party members is the best.

Fuu: No, I'm still in the udon party.

Uta: Then what was that reaction just now!?

[Shrine]

Sum: (Normally, it'd be wrong for a child to be out alone at night...)

Sum: (But this is New Year's Eve, it's a special night. You have to spend this night at a shrine, after all.)

Sum: (Ah, there's the ritual bonfire. It's cold, so maybe I'll go stand by the fire.)

Sum: Oh?

Shi: Hm? Washio?

Sum: So you're here too, Shizuku-san.

Shi: I like... quiet places.

Sum: Me too. Can I stand next to you?

Shi: Yeah. It's cold. Better stand by the fire.

Sum: Okay, I'll do that.

Shi: ...

Sum: ...

Sum: Fire is strange, isn't it? Looking at it kind of relaxes your mind.

Shi: Yeah. It's fascinating... But I think it's scary, too...

Shi: So you feel the same, Shizuku-san.

Shi: ...

Sum: ...

Sum: (When I'm with Shizuku-san, it doesn't feel awkward even without any words...)

Sum: Shizuku-san, I've heard that if you don't feel awkward after 30 seconds of silence with someone, it means you're friends. I've read that in a book.

Shi: I see... Then me and you are friends, Washio.

Sum: Yeah, looks like it.

Gin: Ah, Sumi and Shizuku-san!

Sum: Ah, Gin, you came too.

Shi: Good evening, Minowa.

Son: Ah, Shizuku-senpai, Mino-san, Wasshi! You're all here!

Summ: Sonocchi! We didn't even arrange this beforehand, but we all ended up gathering here.

Gin: I guess that's our sympathy as the team of best buds from Shinju-kan.

Shi: Yeah. Best buds.

Son: Ah, it just struck midnight! Happy New Year!

Gin/Shi/Sum: Happy New Year!

Gin: Alright, you all! Let's go do our first shrine visit of the year!

Shi: (Even when I was alone, I had SHIZUKU, so I wasn't alone. Then I became friends with Kusunoki and the others...)

Shi: (And now, I've got this many friends.)

[Shrine]

Hin: Did you know that there's an underground passage beneath this shrine?

Wak: Undergound passage?

Hin: Yes. They say that in the past, it was used for the monks' ascetic training.

Hin: A pitch-black cave that you walk through... Or so they say.

Hin: Want to go there?

Wak: Yeah, that sounds intriguing. Let's go.

Wak: So this is the entrance? It really is pitch-black.

Hin: We should be able to reach the exit if we walk while touching the wall...

Hin: But it feels... kind of scary. It doesn't even get this dark at night...

Wak: Don't worry. I'm right next to you.

Wak: (It's impossible to perceive anything with your eyes...)

Wak: (It makes me unsure where I am, and whether I'm standing at all.)

Wak: (It's like all my five senses are gone, and even my very body has disappeared... What a strange feeling.)

Wak: Phew... That was quite a valuable experience.

Hin: Yeah.

Fuu: Hm? Wakaba and Hinata, did you go somewhere?

Hin: Yeah. You see, there's this and that...

Kar: Huh, an underground passage. Sounds interesting.

Fuu: Y-You think so? Okay, let's buy some talismans over there and go home.

Kar: Fuu... You're scared, aren't you?

Fuu: W-W-W-What are you talking about? O-O-O-Of course not!

Fuu: I-I-I totally don't think that the darkness under a temple is a massive horror spot or anything!

Kar: Hmph... The Hero Club has a pretty pathetic president, huh.

Kar: If the club got some request that involves spirits, you'd probably say you're scared and decline.

Fuu: W-What was that!? Awright, I'm in!

Fuu: Wait! This is way darker than I thought! Where!? Karin, where are you!?

Kar: I'm here, you don't have to shout.

Fuu: Don't go ahead of me, got it!? Don't! Promise me!

Fuu: ...

Fuu: Huh? Karin? You're here, right? Right?

Fuu: Y-You're not!? Someone! *sob* Someooone! *sob*

???: It's fine.

Fuu: Who!? Someone from the shrine!? Thank goodness! Hand! Give me your hand!

Fuu: Phew, that was scary...

Nat: Yeah.

Fuu: Huh? Natsume!?

Nat: Yeah?

Kar: Ah, there you are, Fuu! Thank goodness, I was looking for you since you got lost.

Fuu: Eh... Wait, so the person who was pulling me by the hand just now...

Nat: Good thing I happened to be there. Because I was able to find you crying and save you.

Fuu: Aaaaaaa! I know nothing! Nothing!

[Beach]

SON: Huff, huff... W-Wait! Akki!

Sek: Huff, huff... No, you know, I don't really have to put a kimono on, do I!?

Sek: Ah... I'm tired from all this running away...

Sek: (I've been on the run ever since I came to the clubroom on the first day of the year and Sonoko suggested me to wear a kimono...)

SON: If you're tired, then give it up and put the kimono on!

Sek: Huff, huff... No, Sonoko, why don't you put this kimono on instead?

SON: Huff, huff... Wait!

Sek: (Oh yeah, there was a time I fought a battle while retreating just like this back in Hokkaido...)

Sek: (But... It's different now...)

SON: Teiyaaa! Diving! Catch!

Sek: Waah!

Sek: Aah, you caught me...

SON: I caught you! Huff, huff...

Sek: ...It's fine, got it. I'll put that kimono on.

SON: Wah, nice!

SON: Good thing you gave in easier than I expected!

Sek: Yeah... Now that I think about it, it wasn't something to run away from.

SON: That's right! Wearing a kimono isn't a bad thing!

Sek: Yeah...

Sek: (It's not like I'm being chased by something bad... Like back then in Hokkaido...)

Sek: Alright, let's put it on and hurry on to the shrine.

SON: Yeah!

Sek: Well, since I said I'm putting that kimono on, I'm going to coordinate the look perfectly!

SON: I can't wait! Hype!
