Presented by Myama

Homuhomu and Mami
A New Year's Eve for Two

---03---

:  It's only fitting to watching *** on New Year's Eve.
:  How could you welcome the New Year without it?

: Pssh...!

:  Why can't you understand... the brilliance that is ****...!
Sour Loser

:  You lost this time, Homura-chan, so quit complaining!
:  Grrr...

---04---

:  J-just compare their viewer ratings, there's no way *** could lose..!
:  Sure, sure~ you can record and catch up with it later-
:  ...!!

:  To be honest, I never used a kotatsu before.
:  It's really warm..!

:  It was just sitting at home, so i figured I might as well brought it over.  'So cold..'

:  You sure look comfortable.

---05---

:  Thank you, Akemi-san!

:  I always hear about eating oranges in a kotatsu, but I never imagine it feeling so wonderful..

:  Mami-san, stay strong, kotatsu will be the downfall of humanity.
:  Also, you'll get sick if you fall asleep in a kotatsu.
:  Yeah, yeah~~
:  I'll definitely be asleep at this rate...

---06---

:  ... A job that bring smiles to everyone, how nice..!
:  So brilliant and glamorous...

The other show would be interesting too and stuff

:  When I was little, I used to love idols.
: I had a blast when my parents bought me a toy microphone.

---07---

:  ... Mami-san...  I think that you can be an idol.  'probably'

:  Won't that be nice? Just quit being a magical girl
:  And go be an idol instead?

Yeah!
:  That's not really a compliment...

:  Making everyone happy as an idol is enticing,
:  But as a magical girl, I can also protect the smiles on everyone's faces..?  That's what I think...

---08----

:  That's why
:  I want to remain like this, for now.

:  Besides
:  Living with Homura-chan is fun too!
:  I don't think we could have lived together otherwise.

:  ...

:  Oh yeah, I prepared soba noodles, so let's have some together.
:  Do you mind helping, Homura-chan?
:  Okay, sure.

---09---

:  Thanks for the food.
:  It's nothing special.

:  It's delicious, Mami-san.  You made it with chicken.
:  In my family, we usually addd seaweed instead, so that's quite novel for me.

:  I use seaweed for my mochi soup
:  So having it for the noodles too is too much.

I will leave the rest in the fridge.
Thanks

:  ... So the year's almost over...

---10---

:  It went by fast.
:  How was it, Homura-chan?
:  How has the year been for you?

:  Ah...
:  ...

:  ... Up to this point
:  The best year of my life.. Probably...?

---11---

:  I got along well with Madoka and everyone else...

:  Me too!  This year was the best one yet!
:  Being alive is amazing! And such!
:  No need to exaggerate...

:  It's true.  I get to meet so many great people!
:  I think us living together is the reason why
:  I'm having such a happy New Year's Eve.

---12---

:  But I didn't do...

:  'Or rather'  I was in your care all along...

Honestly, I never imagined I would be getting along so well with Mami-san.

If Mami-san didn't forcefully drag me here back then,
Orange #2
How would things have turned out instead?

---13---

:  Everyone enjoying themselves
:  That's what matters.

:  As long as we're together, there's nothing I can't overcome.
:  Somehow I start to feel this way.

:  ... Me too

:  Oh... Let's invite Madoka and others to the shrine together.
:  We can make our new year's prayers and draw fortunes together.

---14---

:  I have really bad luck with fortunes.
:  Last year's was neutral luck.
:  What if next year I got awful luck instead...

:  If that happens
:  Just keep drawing
:  Until you get a good one!

:  I see
:  Until I draw best luck and force the gods to deliver me true happiness.

---15---

:  'Fufu'  Looks like next year will be a happy one too.

:  Don't oversleep on new year!
:  Won't happen
:  Instant reply!?  I-incredible...

:  Only 30 seconds left until the new year!

:  Ah, time to count down, Mami-san.

:  Let's count together!!
:  I like the sense of connection between everyone on the new year
:  with the tension slowly creeping up on you.
:  Yeah

---16-17----

:  3-!
:  2-!
:  1-!

:  Happy New Year!!

:  Happy new year
:  Y-you too

:  I'm in your care this year as well!


--18---

:  What a nice way to pass the new year...

:  The totsuko is just too comfortable..
Akemi-san, peel me another orange please
:  Lost to the totsuko already?

:  Ah
:  ...Why do I have to
:  Whatever
RING Mami Tomoe! Your phone is ringing!
!?
[*Homura's voice]
: Ah, a text message.
:  Eh?  That's your ring tone!?  Really!

: Oh, Kaname-san texted a new year's message!  'First time I ever got one...!'
:  Wait... when was this recorded!!
RING Mami-san, someone's texting you.
RING Mami-san, I think you got a text message.
:  Miki-san and Sakura-san too!
:  Don't set your individual ringtones like that!!

---19---

:  Should we invite them when I reply?
:  They probably need some time with their family...

:  How about the day after?

:  Yeah, it'll be less crowded...

:  Hehe, Homura-chan.
:  Can we both go in kimonos?
:  Eh... Do people actually wear it there..? 'It's social suicide...'

:  Seriously!  You don't get to wear kimonos everyday.  You have to take every chance you get...!

:  I think a pink kimono is perfect for Homura-chan!!
:  P-pink!?  That's... even worse...  Just a plain one...

---20---

:  ... Ah
:  I fell asleep!

:  Morning, seriously...  You're out quick...

:  How did this happen... No wonder people called it the devil's tool...

:  How long was I asleep?
^ This
[]
:  3 hours or so.
: Ten more minutes and I would had used this to wake you instead.

:  P-please try a gentler method next time...

---21----

:  I woke up by myself on the first day of the year.  Nice!
: Zzz...

:  That's an easy new year's resolution.

:  ... Oh
:  What's about you, Homura-chan?  What's your resolution?

Oh
:  It's...

:  Total victory

:  Eh..?
:  'Ah'  Look, Mami-san
:  The first sunrise of the year


----22--

:  Wow... It's beautiful...

A new year's card from Saotomoe Sensei too
:  For today, let's have new year's soup and new year's meal.
:  And after we open our new year's cards we can watch ****, sounds good...

:  Eh..
:  Wait!
:  What about  ****...!?

----23----

:   ...
: ...

: .. Ah!?  Homura-chan is a groupie, how expected?
:  How can you call yourself Japanese if you're not watching period drama?
:  I don't want Mami-san to call me such thing!!

:  If you won't listen to reason

Then we have no other options

:  ... Ugh!!

---24---

:  LEGARE!!

:  Same move every time...

:  It won't work this time!! Mami Tomoe!!

:  Tsk tsk, so noisy already in new year morning.
:  Is this some what you call a lover's quarrel?

:  I don't get it at all.
: W-wait?  Not indoors...
