Sworn friends and the year's end - 1-4N

[Hero Club room]

Uta: So, what were you arguing about? I'll listen, if that's alright with you.

Kar: Well... There was this and that...

Uta: Hmm... So while you were deciding on who will be reading the book out loud, the argument shifted to a different topic.

Meb: How did you understand the situation from that?..

Uta: It's an indispensable skill in this club!

Mit: We've learned a lot of stuff ever since we became club members, I guess...

Uta: Yeah, yeah. So we need to pick who's going to be doing the reading, right? The three of you, un moment!

Sum: Utano-san, we're here.

Son: We rushed all the way back from Ines!

Gin: We heard that the upperclassmen had a favour to ask... What is it about?

Mit: Utanon, what are you going to be doing?

Uta: The three of you are going to have a little reading context in front of our elementary schoolers.

Uta: The one who makes them have the most fun is going to be reading the book out loud at the kindergarten!

Kar: I see... If we can't entertain the elementary schoolers, then kindergarteners would be straight up impossible.

Kar: I'm down...

Meb: For this challenge...

Yum: Indeed!

Meb: Well, I'll be going first. This is a story about a Santa who was bad with directions...

Son: Zzz...

Sum: Sonocchi fell asleep...

Meb: Eeh!?

Yum: How should I put it... This reminded me of one classic literature lesson that happened right after the lunch break...

Meb: Did it make you that sleepy...

Kar: Heheh. I knew it, your stiff way of reading won't work for the kids. My turn next!

Kar: Santa, who was bad with directions, asked the reindeer: "Reindeer, what way is south?", the reindeer looked at the chimney 

Kar: and said "I don't know either, but why not head towards the chimney?" "Makes sense!

Kar: Maybe that's a good idea" - thought Santa and soared through the night sky with his reindeer, and in that house was a girl...

Gin: Stop! Karin-san, you need to stop!

Sum: You're reading so fast, it's impossible to keep up...

Kar: Eh? R-Really?

Uta: Karin-san... You don't understand the difference between reading aloud and simply reading out loud, do you?

Kar: Eeh!?

Mit: When you're reading something aloud, you need to make sure the person listening understand you. It's pretty tough.

Kar: Kuh...

Yum: Now, it is my turn!

Yum: Eeek! If I do not hurry up, then dawn shall break, and everyone shall be awake!

Yum: Reindeer! Oh, reindeer! Surely there must be something we can do!?

Gin: I have no idea why Santa's speaking in this way, but it's kind of fun!

Sum: D-Do you think they'll make it?..

Son: Mhm... I'm sure the Santa is actually female, and the reindeer is female too, and from there a love that goes beyond that of a master and servant...

Mit: Leaving Sonoko-chan's reaction aside, Gin-chan and Sumi-chan look like they're really enjoying themselves.

Uta: Guess it's decided then. Miroku-san will be the narrator.
