[Sanshuu Middle - Courtyard]

Wak: The year-end food has to be udon!

Uta: The year-end food is soba!

Hin: Aah, we couldn't avoid it this year either...

Mit: It's already January, but they're still arguing about year-end noodles... It's impossible for humans to stop being in conflict, isn't it...

Wak: Udon, udon, udon, udon!

Uta: Soba, soba, soba, soba!

Yuu: Waah, you two, seriously fighting with your weapons is dangerous!

Wak: It's fine! My weapon is a toy sponge sword!

Uta: And I'm using a toy vinil whip!

Wak: Back to our showdown, Utanon! Udon, udon...

Hin: Soba.

Wak: Soba, soba, soba, soba, soba!

Uta: Udon, udon, udon, udon, udon!

Wak: Ah!? When did we switch!?

Uta: Por que!? Why!?

Wak: Hinata! It's because you chimed in with something weird at a weird time!

Uta: What part of soba is weird!?

Hin: Haah...

Mit: Nogi-san and Utanon, you're at the point where you can switch between each other, so does it even matter anymore?

Uta: No! No, Mii-chan!

Uta: Mii-chan, what happened to you!? If you, one of the few members of the soba party, break, then it's all...

Mit: I... don't really like seeing you fight all the time, Utanon...

Uta: Waaaaaaah!

Wak: Utano has fallen! I'll finish it here! Udon!

Hin: Wakaba-chan, if you keep being so stubborn, I won't clean your ears anymore.

Wak: Waaaaaaah!

Yuu: Ah... They both fell.

Wak: Not done... yet! I can't afford to lose yet!

Uta: So... do... I!

Tak: Baaam! I've heard everything!

Uta/Wak: Yuuna-san!?/Yuuna!?

Tak: Last year I tried to combine udon and soba, but failed...

Yuu: But this year, we'll bring an end to this conflict!

[Kameya]

Uta: Well, Yuuna-san, we followed you here, but this is an udon place. How am I supposed to show off the power of soba here?

Wak: Heh heh heh, Yuuna is, after all, from the udon party. Of course she wouldn't side with soba!

Uta: Guh...

Tak: There, there. Our order will be ready soon, so wait a little!

Sek: You brought us here too, for some reason...

Yuu: The whole Hero Club is assembled!

Meb: Were Wakaba and Utano fighting about soba and udon again? That's two years in a row.

Its: Oh it's not two, it's three years in a row...

Store owner: There, sorry for the wait! Your limited New Year udon!

Wak: Now, let's eat this beautiful, divinely white udon...

Wak: It's red!?

Wak: It's topped with... pickled plums!

Uta: This one's topped with tomatoes!

Tou: And here it's octopus.

Yum: Squid and carrots!

Wak: Yuuna! Is there some sort of pattern to this!?

Tak: The contrast between the white of the udon and red of the toppings, the colours for festivities... This is udon for the New Year!

Wak: For the New Year!?

Uta: Udon!?

Tak: An-chan, please explain to them!

Anz: Okay. In year 2000 of the Christian Era, a tradition of eating red-and-white udon on New Year's Day was born, modelled after year-end soba.

Yuu: Basically, it means that you should eat soba for the end of the year and udon for the beginning of the year!

Tak: That's right! This way we can segregate udon and soba!

Wak: Utano... Let's have a handshake.

Uta: Yeah, let's shake hands, Wakaba!

Uta: The soba and udon parties can finally sign a pact of non-aggression.

Wak: Yeah... Yeah!

Tam: Well, Tama's gonna eat udon for both the end and the beginning of the year, though!

Gin: T-Tamako-san! Read the mood!

Wak: Y-Yeah... Now that I think about it, there's no reason not to eat udon for both the end and the beginnging of the year!

Uta: Yeah... I almost let my emotions get the better of me.

Chi: So this battle's going to continue...

Tak: Aww...

Tak: I couldn't stop it this year either...

Suz: New Year money... New Year money... Ah, New Year money... New Year money...

Meb: Suzume, what's wrong?

Shi: When we went to the shrine, she saw people throwing offerings into the box there, so she keeps talking about wanting New Year money...

Suz: New Year money... New Year money...

Meb: You're helpless...

Fuu: Hm? There's a poster about a food challenge here.  If you finish an ultra-large serving of udon in 30 minutes, you'll get New Year prize money...

Suz: I'll do it!

Suz: Ugh, urk... It was... impossible. My stomach hurts... I ate too much... The pain...

Meb: Jeez...

Fuu: Another ultra-large serving, please!

Suz: Eeh...

[Beach]

Fuu: How about we work out a little after our meal? I've got paddles with me.

Sum: That's nice. Flying kites, playing hanetsuki and spinning tops are all things we should partake in, as Japanese. [1]

Yuu: Yay! Let's do it!

Son: Alright, here we go!

SON: Sonosono, we're playing doubles!

Tou: Sonocchi, there are no doubles in hanetsuki.

Kar: We played it last year too. Hanetsuki is a good way to train your kinetic vision.

Meb: Yeah. I'll do it!

Kar: Okay then, come at me! It's a fight!

Fuu: You two don't differentiate between games and training, do you... No need to get so worked up, it's just a game.

Kar: Since you're saying that... Aren't you just afraid of losing?

Fuu: What was that!? We fight now!

Its: Ahaha... Feels like Onee-chan falls for provocations really easily these days...

Fuu: Uryaaa!

Kar: Toryaa!

Kar: This is my perfect receive!

Fuu: I can't reach it! I... I lost.

Its: Good job, Onee-chan.

Fuu: I lost to my junior... I hate it! Itsuki! Avenge me!

Its: Eeh!? Me!?

Suz: I'll... do it!

Its: Suzume-san!?

Suz: But if I win... Give me New Year money!

Kar: Why!?

Fuu: Okay, Suzume! If you avenge me, I'll give you New Year money!

Suz: Awwwright! Here I go, Karin-san!

Kar: Heh... That spirit... I don't hate it, Suzume!

Kagajou Phoenix: (I'm no Suzume right now! I'm a phoenix! I'll show you the power of Kagajou the Phoenix!)

Kar: Okay, I win.

Kagajou Phoenix: I lost...

Its: Kagajou Phoenix-san, you played 50 matches and lost all of them...

[Sanshuu Middle - Hallway]

Suz: New Year money... New Year money... I want some...

Anz: Suzume-san, that was a total loss...

Tam: Oh well... Come on, Suzume, put your hand out.

Suz: Tamako-san, are you going to give me some money!?

Tam: Here's a mandarin. I dropped one into your hand, so it's otoshidama. [New Year money/fallen ball]

Suz: They don't even do that to elementary schoolers these days!

Tam: Eh, really!? Tama got this even when she came back home for the holidays during 1st year of middle school!

Anz: It's because you're tiny, Tamacchi-senpai. But that's a cute part of you, too.

Tam: I'm not tiny!

[Hero Club room]

Sum: This tile is going to be "skip one turn"...

Gin: Gotta make the game fun, you know!

Shi: The tiles closer to the goal are stricter... Because in life, it's hard to achieve the goal of happiness...

Son: And this tile... A steamy situation would be nice!

Tam: Hm? The elementary girls and Shizuku are making something.

Anz: What are you doing?

Gin: We're making sugoroku right now! [1]

Sum: Yeah. It's a tradition to play sugoroku on New Year's Day, but we decided to make one ourselves.

Son: It's gonna be the most exciting sugoroku in the world!

Tam: Lemme see. Whoa, what's this!? Most of the tiles near the goal are "Go back to the beginning"!

Gin: That was Shizuku-san's idea!

Shi: Life is hard...

Anz: This tile is... "A will do whatever B says"?

Anz: Is this even sugoroku at this point...?

Son: I made that tile!

Suz: Me too! Let me help, too!

Sum: Really? Thanks, we'll take you up on that offer.

Suz: Okay! Then this tile will be "Give Suzume New Year money".

Suz: This tile and this one will also be "Give Suzume New Year money"... as well.

Tam: D-Do you want money that much...

Sum: Phew... I guess we're done?

Anz: It's pretty big, since there are a lot of tiles.

Suz: Let's call the others since we made it! Sugoroku is more fun with more people!

Sum: Yeah. Let's call our seniors.

Suz: (Heh heh heh... The more people there are, the higher the chance someone will land on the money tile...)

Anz: Suzume-san... You look like you're thinking something wicked right now...

[Sumi's room]

Wak: Sugoroku, huh.	I played it a lot when I was a child.

Hin: Yeah. It's tasteful, very "New Year".

Meb: Cramming this many people into one room certainly makes for high population density...

Tam: W-Was there no bigger room?

Sum: Should we look for another room?

Yum: It appears there is no choice. I have no objections if you wish to use my enormously large room at the Miroku estate.

Yum: Ah, my apologies. The room is undergoing reforms right now, so we cannot use it today.

Suz: Okay, okay. There's no large room, it doesn't exist.

Yum: But it is large!

Yuu: I like this room! You have to put the sugoroku board on the floor, so it's easier to play on a tatami floor!

Tak: Agreed!

Nat: Yeah. Sugoroku on a tatami. Not bad...

Uta: I think it's nice, too. Let's draw lots to decide our order, first!

Aya: I made lots. Please draw them.

Uta: Let's go clockwise, starting with the person who gets a 1!

Chi: I'm number 1.

Chi: Dice... roll!

SON: What tile will you stop on? What tile will you stop on?

Chi: Uuh... "Hug the person next to you"?

Chi: Huh!? This isn't even sugoroku! Why do I have to...

Tak: Uh... Next to Gun-chan means me, right?

Chi: W-Well if I have to...

Chi: Okay... Come here, Takashima-san.

Tak: R-Right... There!

SON: Wonderful! This is the best part of sugoroku!

Its: Is... Is this really sugoroku?

Sek: Oh, I won! I'm number 1.

Shi: Akihara... Awesome. I can't believe you made it through the stretch of "Go back to the beginning" before the goal.

Sek: Ahaha, I ran away with the victory, not bad.

Gin: Ah, I won too!

Fuu: Seems like people are beginning to reach the goal.

Suz: Aah...

Fuu: What's wrong, Suzume?

Suz: I made so many "New Year money" tiles, but nobody's landing on them...

[Sumi's room]

Tam: Whew, that was some white-hot sugoroku gameplay!

Anz: Yeah! To think that Sumi-chan and Gin-chan would end up like that... Heh heh heh.

Gin: P-Please don't remember that!

Sum: Sonocchi must've made that tile, I'm sure of it!

Hin: And I got to take a photo of Wakaba-chan's unbecoming figure, so I'm satisfied.

Wak: Delete! You have to delete that photo!

Hin: But it'll be a good memory.

Suz: Haah...

Suz: Ah...

Shi: Kagajou is really down in the dumps...

Yum: At a time like this, you should eat some skipjack tuna. It shall bring your spirit back.

Kar: No, dried sardines! Eat dried sardines, it'll cheer you up!

Yum: Skipjack tuna!

Kar: Dried sardines!

Yum: Tuna, tuna, tuna, tuna, tuna!

Kar: Sardines, sardines, sardines, sardines, sardines!

Mit: Huh? I feel like I've seen this somewhere before...

Uta/Wak: Hm?

Suz: I don't care about tuna or sardines...

Aya: Suzume-senpai, why are you so sad? I'll do anything if I can help!

Suz: Ayaya! Ayaya, you're so kind. Give me New Year money then!

Meb: Suzume! Don't pester someone younger than you for money.

Aya: Ah, Mebuki-senpai.

Suz: But if you don't get any money for New Year, that's half the point of it gone!

Meb: What will I ever do with you... Here.

Suz: Eh, what's this envelope...?

Meb: It's something you will need this year. Open it.

Suz: Is this... New Year money!?

Suz: M-Mebuuu! Thanks, I love you!

Suz: H-How much is there? Time to look inside... Huh?

Suz: There's just a folded piece of paper...

Meb: It'a training regimen I thought up for you.

Suz: Eeeh!?

Meb: Once you finish all of it, I'll give you a reward. The actual New Year money.

Suz: I'll do it! I swear I'll finish it, Mebu!

Suz: For my New Year money!

Sek: Ahaha, she sure controls Suzume well.
