p83
>This year, let's watch the first sunrise on Mount Takao!!
>Eh...Mountain climbing?
>Isn't that a bit dangerous...

>It's a short mountain, and it looks like there's a hillside path. Besides, it's our last New Year's

as high schoolers! Let's make some memories!
>Well, if you put it that way...
>Guess we gotta do it.

>January 1st, early morning
>Fwaah

>I wanna go home and sleep...
>Hey, this was your idea!

p84
>Looks like Hotarun isn't here yet~

>I'm sure she's sleeping...
>She's not you, Nenecchi...

>Sorry to keep you waiting~
>Ah, she's here.

>A kimono!?

>Huh...does it look weird? I assumed a long-sleeved kimono would be troublesome so I'm wearing a

hakama instead...
>Also I'm wearing boots!

>Regardless of if it's a kimono or a hakama, both would be trouble when climbing mountains!

>Eh...But you said there was a hillside path...

>It's cos you were saying weird stuff, Nenecchi.
>It's my fault!?

p85
>Can't be helped I guess. It'd take us a day to climb anway, we'll go as far as we cab!
>I'm already wide awake anyway.
>I'll accompany you.
>Thanks.

>Woah, both the cable cars and lifts have massive queues!
>Cable cars and lifts this way

>Even though it's past 4am, I'm kinda curious.
>Now that you mention it, me too.

>Alright, let's just ascend on foot!
>Hill path.
>No no, we can't!
>Hotarun's with us!

>We've arrived!

>The lift was pretty fast, but whereabout are we?
>About halfway it seems.

>How long until we get to the shrine?
>This sign says the station's 40 minutes in that direction, so just 40 more minutes, right?

>40 minutes, huh...
>Sounds tough...
>Man, you guys are weak!

p86
>Still, the new year is short, so we shouldn't complain.
>I'll do my best!

>Well, if Hotarun's gonna do her best I guess I will too.
>You're so simple.

>But y'know, this hillside path is really gentle.
>Yeah, we'll be at the summit before we know it!

>There is currently a restriction on people on the summit, so you cannot climb any further.
>Eeeeeh!?

>We've barely even moved...
>Oh yeah, this place is pretty crowded, huh...

>Honestly. Coming here for New Year's without a plan.
>How'd it come to this...

>...

>You weren't thinking, were you, Nenecchi!
>I'm sorry!

p87
>But look! It's bright this way so we should be able to see the sunrise over there!

>You sure about that~?
>Alright, I'll ask!

>Fufufu
>What's up?

>Even though things aren't working as planned, it's still fun being with you two.
>I-I suppose...

>What should we do about next year...
>You're thinking about next year already?

>I mean, I didn't know you guys are year ago, right?
>No matter how the exams go, I'm sure there'll be more things to come.

>Aocchi, if... if you really want to work at that company, then don't worry about me.
>Eh?

>I'm gonna be seperated from Nenecchi as well.
>As long as you're trying your hardest, Aocchi, I won't feel lonely.

p88
>Yeah, thank you... I feel the same way.

>Looks like you can see the sunrise from over there!

>Ah, you're right! Over there!

>Well, things didn't go to plan, but it turned out alright in the end!
>Yeah, it's really pretty.

>But it's because we decided to see it that we made it this far.

>You guys wanna get together to see it again next year?

>Sure!
>Of course!

p89
>...Ah! I forgot!!
>?

>The New Year's greeting!
>Oh yeah!

>Happy New Year!
>Happy New Year to you too! May this year be a good one!

>Yeah, I hope so!

>I pray that all of us will have a great year...

p90
>So what did you wish for, Aocchi?
>Not telling.
>Eh? Stingey!

>What about you, Nenecchi?
>Well, y'see...

>I wished to pass my exams, find a good part-time job, earn a lot of money and spend it all on manga

and anime.
>!?

>That's not what you said during the Summer!
>Eh!? That wasn't for me, that was for you guys!!

>...

>Ah, don't tell me you wished for our happiness or something like that, Aocchi?
>!

>Eh? No way. Sorry. I just wished for my own success in the exams.
>That's the normal thing to do!

>Geez, I don't know you guys!
>Wait, I think it's a good thing!
>Ahaha, sorry Aocchi!
