- Auspicious bustle of the first sunrise - 2-1N
- [Gin's room]
- Son: Alright now, we, the Three Heavenly Kings of elementary schoolers, have assembled here today, on New Year's day!
- Gin: Since we're a group of three, wouldn't something like the Triumvirate or the Three Musketeers sound better?
- Sum: Hehehe. Gin, this is foreshadowing.
- Gin: Foreshadowing?
- Son: We have a special guest today, allow me to introduce them.
- Sum: Now, let them take their entrance. Dear guest, please come in!
- Shi: ...Minowa, Washio, Nogi. Happy New Year.
- Gin: It's Shizuku-san! Happy New Year to you as well!
- Sum: Shizuku-san, please come on in. We have snacks and drinks too.
- Shi: I'll excuse myself then.
- Gin: Ah, I want snacks too!
- Sum: Don't worry, I prepared enough for everyone.
- Gin: Yay! ...So what are you planning to do, even calling Shizuku-san here?
- Sum: Isn't it obvious? Right, Sonocchi?
- Son: Yeah. Our traditional New Year's kimono dress-up session. Shizuku-senpai will be participating too!
- Gin: Eh? Wait, we did that last year already!
- Son: A New Year's tradition.
- Sum: Naturally, we asked Sonoko-san and Tougou-san to prepare us different kimonos than last year.
- Gin: Shizuku-san, are you really okay with letting those two do as they please?
- Shi: This is my first time hearing anything about kimonos...
- Shi: I thought we would be playing games together. Like sugoroku or Hundred Poets. [1]
- Son: Games are fun too, but kimonos are the New Year's tradition!
- Gin: You're really forcing that tradition angle...
- Shi: ...Well if it's a tradition, then okay.
- Gin: Shizuku-san... Sorry to force you to play along.
- Shi: No. It's fine. Back at Shinju-kan... I never had fun with you three.
- Shi: So I'm glad I can do that now. Whatever we might be doing.
- Gin: Ahaha, now that you mention it, you were in a different class in the Shinju-kan too.
- Son: I'm glad Shizuku-senpai didn't say no.
- Sum: Heehee. Let's start with picking out a kimono for Shizuku-senpai then.
- Son: Without further ado, let us proceed, the Four Heavenly Kings of Shinju-kan!
- Gin: Ah, we actually have four people now!

- Notes:
- 1 - Sugoroku - Can refer to two games, but the one played on New Years' Day is e-sugoroku - a snakes-and-ladders'-esque game.
- Hundred Poets - Refers to uta-garuta, a game where you must take a card that contains the finishing verse of the poem being read. (Watch Chihayafuru)
