Auspicious bustle of the first sunrise - 2-2H [Hero Club room] Suz: Ugh, I'm sooo tireeed... The lactic acid in my muscles... Shi: Kagajou, here you are. Suz: Aah... Shizuku... What's up? Shi: Where are Kusunoki, Miroku and Kokudo? Suz: Ah, they were at the beach training, but went somewhere else. Suz: They forced me to train with them, but I was totally beat, so I left ahead of them. Yum: It was as crowded as I expected. Aya: Yeah. The crowds of people really gave it that New Year's atmosphere. Shi: Kusunoki, Miroku, Kokudo. I've been waiting for you. Meb: Hm? What? Shi: Come with me to Sonoko's house. I asked her to let me borrow enough kimonos for all of you. Meb: Kimono? But we just came back from our first shrine visit. Suz: Eeeeeeh!? Mebu, what about me!? Yum: But we invited you, did we not? You were the one who declined the offer, Suzume-san. Suz: Aaargh... I was so tired, I couldn't hear you properly... Shi: ...So you already went there. Then the kimonos aren't... SON: I've heard everything! Meb: Sonoko? Shi: ...That scared me. SON: Heh heh heh. One important person in the past said this: "If they can't go to their first shrine visit, then let them go to the second one!" SON: You see, there's a theory that when Heroes visit shrines in kimonos, Shinju-sama's power grows by a whole lot. SON: So visiting shrines while wearing kimonos is a Hero's duty too, and you can do it however many times! Aya: Is that true? Meb: So becoming a Hero really does impose a lot of duties that the society knows nothing about... SON: Sure does! SON: Alright, so pick out what kimono you want... Meb: Forestization warning!? Shizuku, Sonoko, we'll finish this later. Meb: Everyone, get ready to sortie! Suz: I'll pass today, alright... I'm tired from the training, alright... I'm done for, alright... Meb: Suzume, don't start whining over this much! Meb: But if you feel it gets dangerous, stay always by my side. I'll make sure to protect you. Suz: Waaaah! This is just carrot and stick! Fine, I've got no choice but to fight!
