New Year - The Hero Club's first smiles 1-2

[Dorm]

Sh: Unbelievable! Stop saying stupid things! The food for New Year's Eve has to be soba!

N.W: Maybe in Suwa. But here in Shikoku, udon is the only food for New Year's Eve!

Sh: This might be the holy land of udon, but toshikoshi soba is one thing I will never give up.

M: I've never even heard of toshikoshi udon. Sumi-chan, does it really exist?

W: It does. In my family, we would have tempura udon for every New Year's Eve.

N.W: Udon!

Sh: Soba!

G: 'Sup! It's really noisy in here, what's going on?

s: They're arguing whether to have soba or udon for New Year's Eve.

N.W: In the first place, the tradition of eating toshikoshi soba comes from eating something long and thin to symbolise longevity.

N.W: Thus, u don fits just as well. No, with its elasticity, it fits even better!

Sh: That's just one of the theories.

Sh: Another theori says that by eating soba, the easiest of the noodles to cut, you cut off all of the hardships that have followed you during the year!

N.W: ...Is that true?

H: I believe so.

W: The origin of the tradition is exactly as Utano-san says.

Sh: Hehe, see?

N.W: ...Sumi, have you betrayed us!?

W: Eh!?

G: Wakaba-san is venting at Sumi!

s: Ancestor, that's unjust~.

H: Sorry. When it comes to udon, Wakaba-chan gets really passionate.

Sh: Well, if you understand now, let's all have some toshikoshi soba tonight!

N.W: That won't do. Let's gather the rest and ask their opinions. Udon or soba!

Sh: You're a sore loser, Wakaba. But okay. I'll take you up on that!

G: Hey... Why'd this turn into a competition?

W: I'm... A traitor...

s: Cheer up, Wasshi. Just join the ancestor in promoting udon and it will be fine~.

W: That's right. I got it, Sonocchi. I'll guide udon to victory whatever it takes!

G: Sumi, you've started acting kind of like Tougou-san lately.
