- -----
- -1-
- Yachiyo
- Happy New Year.
- Tsuruno & Felicia
- HNY!
- Sana
- Happy New Year...
- Tsuruno
- Traveling during the year-end holidays - we're living the life of luxury, huh!
- Felicia
- For real! Yachiyo's bein' unusually generous!
- Yachiyo
- It can't be helped.
- If there's no change in what we see from last year, we'll end up comparing it to then...
- Sana
- Because "those two" aren't with us like before...
- Tsuruno
- Just remembering them makes it feel all the more lonely, doesn't it...
- Felicia
- .....
- ...But like, that don't mean they've gone and vanished.
- Besides, even if we're apart, our hearts are still together, ain't they?
- Tsuruno
- That's...
- Yeah, you're right.
- Even if we can't see them, it feels like they're with us.
- Sana
- ...If that's true, then if we all look so down for New Year's...
- When they see us, those two may end up getting sad...
- Yachiyo
- You're right...
- The year has just begun, so let's at least keep moving forward.
- Felicia
- Yeah! We gotta party day 'n night!
- Sana
- I just remembered...there is a nearby shopping district having its first sale of the year.
- Tsuruno
- Then why don't we change and head on out!
- Yachiyo
- (I want to cherish the present. That is how I truly feel, but...)
- (I do still want you by my side.)
- (One day, for sure...)
- ---
- Felicia
- Alriiight! Ready and set! Let's go!
- Tsuruno
- Wah-! If you run your clothes are gonna come undone!
- Sana
- ...It still feels like everything is the same, doesn't it?
- Yachiyo
- Yeah. Let's get going too.
- Since we're going out of our way for New Year's sales at a tourist attraction,
- it would be nice to buy Iroha and Ui-chan souvenirs, don't you think?
- Sana
- Yes...!
- -2-
- Juri
- Alriiight! New Year's sales! I'm buyin' a lucky bag!
- Ao
- Think they have any game lucky bags?
- Yuna
- There is a limit to your spending money, so you should think before you use it all...
- Hikaru
- S'all good! I got my New Year's gift too!
- Yuna
- There's a limit to that as well, you know...?
- Juri
- If you're on about money, you don't gotta worry. No matter what, our target today is...
- Man
- Inventory clearance sale! Completely random special lucky bags here...!
- One bag, 1,000 yen! One per person!
- Ao
- Did he say 1,000 yen!? Cheap-!
- Hikaru
- And the stuff inside's worth up to 50,000 yen!
- Juri
- Nihi, I'm gettin' fired up...! Let's try our luck again this year 'n buy 'em!
- Ao
- ...He said the items are totally random. It's a gamble~...
- Yuna
- That's right, there is no guarantee to get something you even want...
- Ao
- Kusu...
- But it's so interesting!! I'm gonna go buy one toooo!
- Yuna
- Are you serious...?
- Hikaru
- Hikaru's curious now too! Yuna-san, let's buy some too!
- Yuna
- ...If one is all it takes to test my luck... Well, I suppose it's fine...
- ---
- Juri
- Alright now, what we got in...here.
- ...Mm, the hell's this...? PuchiUsa...? This some kinda character?
- Ao
- Cute, though...pfft, to think Nee-chan would pull that...huhu...
- Juri
- Shit-! There's still more in here, so I'm pushin' my luck...
- Wait - uwaah, this's a book, ain't it... This thing's why the bag felt so damn heavy...
- Yuna
- A book on the history and folklore of Futatsugi City. Not bad.
- Juri
- Sure is... To toss in the bonfire, maybe...
- Ao
- Uu...is mine gonna be a dud too... This sweater's color is weird...hm?
- Ah-AAaaAAHH!! The game I was tempted to buy's in here!
- Juri
- Haah!? And Nee-san and Horse!?
- Hikaru
- A wearable blanket in mine. The rest's all crap, but I'm satisfied!
- Yuna
- There was a diary in mine. Huhu, just what I needed...
- Juri
- Why's Juri-sama the only one screwed out of anythin' useful...
- Alright, little sister! Trade the book for your game!
- Ao
- That's a no~ You picked that yourself, didn't you, Nee-chan?
- Yuna
- No fighting this early into the new year.
- If Tamaki-san heard this, I'm sure she would be straining a laugh...
- Juri
- Ah? The hell you bringin' her up for?
- Yuna
- I'm going to keep a diary until the day we meet again
- to tell her the things we do to pass every day.
- Because it's thanks to her that we get to live now...
- Juri & Ao
- …………
- Juri
- ...Truce?
- Ao
- Yeah, when I'm done playing this game I'll lend it to you.
- Hikaru
- Now that you've made up, onward to the next place?
- Yuna
- Yeah, let's pay our first visit to the shrine this year...
- -3-
- Chiharu
- Mochi fresh from the mortar is so good~!
- Shizuka
- Mmm~~... Exceptional, is it not~...
- Sunao
- Huhu, please eat slower so you don't choke.
- Shizuka & Chiharu
- Okay!
- Chiharu
- By the way, what are we doing after this?
- Playing outside? Lounging under the kotatsu?
- Shizuka
- Before that we must go give our greetings.
- Chiharu
- Greetings...?
- Shizuka
- ...Well, you see, normally we go see Kyuubee-sama,
- offering him mochi as New Year's greetings...and as our first shrine visit of the year...
- But we are learning of the outside world and trying to change,
- so if that tradition was solely Mikoshiba's creation...
- Sunao
- Yes, there is no need to abide by it.
- Now he is not even an object of worship to us.
- Chiharu
- ...True.
- I don't think it's a bad idea to quit cold turkey,
- but in the end, isn't it about how you want to change?
- Shizuka
- (How you want to change...)
- ...Maybe we should give our greetings,
- as we are building a different kind of relationship than before.
- And it's not like we are rejecting him.
- Sunao
- Then shall we head to the shrine?
- Shizuka
- No, he is no god, so there is no need to meet him at the shrine.
- Kyuubee-sama, are you here?
- Happy New Year to you.
- This year I hope we may build a new relationship with one another.
- Chiharu
- It's nice being equals, huh!
- Sunao
- Ah, help yourself to some mochi.
- Shizuka
- ...Tamaki-san, we are going to change.
- Though I'm sure it will be little by little.
- Chiharu
- Hatsumode...I don't know if this counts as our first shrine visit of the year, but now that the greetings are out of the way, let's do something.
- Sunao
- I agree with that... How about getting the hagoita for a game of hanetsuki?
- Shizuka
- Great idea!
- First we will relax our bodies,
- and then let's think about our future, shall we?
- -4-
- Himena
- Letting the hane drop is a total nono, alrighty?
- Kay, now that the hagoita are passed out, this cutie's starting with her resolution...
- A lovey-dovey date with Hiko-kun at the amusement park!
- [*Whack*]
- San
- The fire festival's revival!
- [*Whack*]
- Miyuri
- Legs! ...No actually winning a tournament!
- [*Whack*]
- Hagumu
- U-um...awawa...
- [*Clunk...*]
- Miyuri
- Don't send it back to Miyu - hit it to Miyabi!
- [*Whack*]
- Himena's Voice
- Hagurin, your resolution! You can't just return to sender!
- Hagumu
- Awawawa... To make costumes!
- [*Clunk...*]
- Himena's Voice
- O and K! Last up's Shigurin!
- Shigure
- I...umm... To create my...
- [*Clank!*]
- Shigure
- Uhh...my own program!
- [*Whack clank whack clunk*]
- Miyuri
- She's started a rally by herself...
- Shigure
- What should I do with this at the end?
- Himena
- Hit it back to this cutie!
- Shigure
- O-okay...!
- [*Whack*]
- Himena
- And now let's gooo... Send our resolutions up to Irorin!!
- [*Smack!!*]
- Hagumu
- Wow...it went flying...
- Shigure
- Why Tamaki-san...?
- Himena
- Just feels like she's watching over us or something, so like why not tell her anywho.
- Miyuri
- That's fair...
- San
- You think they'll come true...?
- Himena
- Who knows?
- Hagumu
- Ehh...? But Aika-san, you just...
- -Flashback-
- Himena
- Anywho, it'd be cool to hit the hane while saying our New Year's resolutions,
- so if the whole crew can say them without dropping it, they'll totes come true, won't they? Kyaha★
- -End Flashback-
- Hagumu
- ...said that.
- Himena
- No, frankly it was just all wishing. This cutie never said they'd come true.
- Shigure
- You did definitely say "totes come true", though...
- San
- ...Well, it wouldn't be the first unreasonable act from Hime-sama.
- Himena
- Well like, isn't putting the effort in yourself more meaningful?
- Even if she is watching over us,
- if all we do is count on her, she might just turn her back on us.
- Hagumu
- That...could be...?
- Shigure
- I'm...suddenly exhausted...
- Himena
- Alrighty, who's up for some lunch? This cutie's running on empty too!
- San
- Right, let's go eat ozoni like it's New Year's day.
- -5-
- Alexandra
- Huu... Things have finally calmed down.
- Urara
- That's New Year's for ya...
- Asahi
- Quite the busy time.
- Rabi
- Everyone, thank you for helping with the guest house.
- With that many customers for the new year, you were all a great help,
- though I am incredibly sorry for putting you through the trouble over your own vacation...
- Alexandra
- No no, we're the ones who offered to help, after all.
- Urara
- I had nothin' to do back home, so if anything this made it better for me!
- Asahi
- Besides, we owe a great deal to you and your home.
- It was great that we could repay in kind.
- Rabi
- ...I see.
- Mother seems like she can handle the rest,
- so now that you have all worked day after day, spend the rest of your vacation relaxing.
- Alexandra
- Uhuhu, this will be our New Year's then.
- Rabi
- Ah, we have ozoni. Would you like some?
- Asahi
- The Cradle of the Earth's ozoni
- is exquisite from what I hear, so I will more than gladly accept your offer.
- ---
- Everyone
- Thanks for the meal!
- Alexandra
- Mm~, delicious.
- Asahi
- The dashi is incredible.
- Urara
- And the mochi's so springy!
- Rabi
- ...I'm glad.
- The flavor of ozoni differs from house to house,
- so I was worried it wouldn't be to your taste.
- Urara
- Now that you mention it, it's totally different from eating at my place.
- At my parents', we have way more meat than veggies.
- Asahi
- As for my home, we use the game we catch in ours.
- As such, the meat in ours varies every time it is made.
- Alexandra
- My home isn't much different from Rabi-chan's home,
- but sometimes we do flavor it with miso.
- Rabi
- Miso...?
- Alexandra
- Mama seemed to have picked it up from someone who moved from the Kansai region.
- A soy sauce base is good, but miso is also delicious, you see~
- Urara
- We really are all over the place!
- Alexandra
- Hearing how Hime-chan and everyone does theirs could be interesting too.
- Urara
- For sure! I'll be sure to ask Yuna-san and all them.
- Asahi
- I will inquire the Tokime Clan as well.
- Rabi
- Then I, Nayuta-sama and the people of Kamihama City...
- And next year I will recreate the flavors.
- Urara
- Next year...?
- Alexandra
- Uhuhu, the year has only just begun, and yet -
- Asahi
- Hasty, aren't we?
- Rabi
- That may be so.
- But Tamaki-san has brought us to this moment,
- so I'm hoping to envision many futures.
- I'm sure she would be happy to know that.
- Asahi
- Then once we've finished eating
- we should try our first calligraphy of the year.
- Rabi
- Yeah, first let's write down our resolutions for the year.
- -6-
- Sudachi
- Fumumunfumu, fumumumuu!
- Livia
- Welcome back, Sudachi.
- Yozuru
- How was your New Year's visit back home?
- Sudachi
- ~ Ehehe, Otou-san and Okaa-san spoiled me so much! ~
- Yozuru
- ~ I'm glad to hear the time with your parents went well. ~
- Sudachi
- ~ Ah - this is a souvenir! From Otou-san and Okaa-san. ~
- Livia
- ~ Sorry for havin' yer parents go through the trouble... ~
- ~ Give 'em ma regards. ~
- Sudachi
- ~ Sure! ~
- Livia
- ~ That reminds me, didn't ya have an interview with the teachers at yer elementary school? ~
- ~ How'd it go? ~
- Sudachi
- ~ Well... It wasn't anything special, I guess? ~
- ~ If I'm doing well, if I'm eating enough. ~
- Livia
- ~ They sure care about ya. ~
- ~ They must rightly be relieved knowin' yer doing well. ~
- Sudachi
- ~ Yeah! ~
- ~ ...Ah, but I also had winter holiday homework. ~
- ~ Like kakizome. ~
- Yozuru
- ~ Your first calligraphy of the year... That brings back memories. ~
- Livia
- ~ Then why don't y'all give it a try too, Yozuru. I bet she'd get it done faster than workin' alone. ~
- Yozuru
- ~ If Sensei says so, then I will try. ~
- ---
- Sudachi
- Fumumu.
- Yozuru
- I finished writing as well.
- Livia
- Let's see 'em...
- [Even if it's just for one day, go to school. Sawa Sudachi]
- Livia
- Ohh, now there's a fine resolution.
- Sudachi
- Fumu, fumunmumufumumu, fumufumumumufumumun.
- Livia
- Even if it's jus' a small one, ya wanna take a step forward...?
- The first step's the hardest, so do yer best.
- Sudachi
- Fumu-!
- Livia
- And Yozuru's...
- [Become a nursery school teacher. Sasame Yozuru]
- Livia
- Nursery teacher...? That a dream of yers?
- Yozuru
- No, it is nothing of the sort.
- I was simply thinking of how to improve my kindness - where I could show it -
- and children had come to mind.
- A child is the object of kind, gentle protection.
- Livia
- I see, ya really thought it out.
- Goodness gracious, ya do yer best too, Yozuru.
- Yozuru
- Yes.
- Livia
- Well now, one piece of homework's outta the way, so how's about we head out?
- Yozuru
- Where to?
- Sudachi
- Fumu?
- Livia
- It'd be right impolite not greeting the kid who protected our future now.
- 'Sides, y'all going out and takin' steps towards your own futures -
- wouldn't she just be delighted knowin' that?
- -7-
- Tsuruno
- We're heeere!
- Felicia
- I wondered why we weren't headin' back to Mikazuki Villa...
- Yachiyo
- Coming back to Kamihama, this should be the first place we return to, don't you think?
- Sana
- Yes... We have to give proper greetings...
- Yachiyo
- ...Oh?
- I didn't expect all of you to come here too...
- Yuna
- It was a surprise to me as well...
- Shizuka
- We came to Kamihama City in hopes of giving greetings to all Mahou Shoujo...
- But our feet just naturally walked towards this place.
- Himena
- Us cuties too. It just like came to mind.
- Rabi
- Everyone seems to have thought the same thing.
- Livia
- My stars, what a big gathering this is.
- Yachiyo
- I heard you've been traveling the whole country, but you came back to Kamihama I see.
- Livia
- We came ta give our greetings too.
- Yuna
- And after everything... For all of us to come here on the exact same day...
- Himena
- Maybe you're feeling like us cuties understand each other?
- Shizuka
- ...Well, there is a connection between us.
- Rabi
- Because we have all overcome the same thing...
- Yachiyo
- Well, now that we've all gathered here...
- Everyone
- ["Happy New Year."]
- ["Please take care again this year."]
- Shizuka
- Huhu, this year will be different from the last.
- Yuna
- ...Yes. It should end up a fine year.
- Himena
- It's not "should end up", it's "will be", kyaha★
- Rabi
- Indeed, it's important to willingly go yourself.
- Livia
- Mm, we each got our own resolutions. A blessin' to be sure.
- Yachiyo
- .....
- Tsuruno
- You think it reached Iroha and everyone?
- Felicia
- They hadda've gotten the message, right?
- Sana
- Yes, I'm sure they're listening.
- Yachiyo
- That's not all. I'm sure she has a reply.
- Am I right, Iroha?
- Iroha
- Yeah!
- Everyone, have a Happy New Year!
