Part 8: Great Year Ahead

Kokona: Kathrina-chan!~

Kathrina: Kokona!

Ramona: Oh, the girls from Sirius!

Kokona: Hello, Mona-san! Lilja-san and Hikari-san too! Happy New Year to you all.

Ramona: Happy New Year! Glad you made it here safely.

Hikari: Oh, Panda-chan is here too!

Panda: Yeah! It’s New Year’s Day, so we all went on a shrine visit together!

Panda: Kathrin, sorry you had to wait for us. I wanted to come get you, but Sassu decided to try out a lottery and just kept winning…

Chisa: I made the owner cry with joy.

Panda: Hey, it’s more like he was pleading for mercy!

Ramona: Ahaha, I guess, Sasuga’s really lucky.

Panda: So much she makes a lottery owner cry…

Hikari: How cool, wish I had such luck too!

Lilja: So, since Kathrina’s friends are here, is it time for us to part ways?

Panda: I guess so. Well then, Gingaza girls, thanks a lot for looking after Kathrin!

Kathrina: Hey, I ain’t a kid!

Kokona: Come now! I’m glad we were able to meet up! Mona-san, thank you too!

Ramona: Yeah, take good care of each other on your way back!

Kokona: Sure!

Ramona: Well, Kathrina. Take care. See you later.

Kathrina: Yeah… See you.

Kokona: Kathrina-chan, sorry it took us so long.

Kathrina: No problem. Don’t worry about it.

Shizuka: You aren’t angry?

Kathrina: I wouldn’t get angry over something like this.

Panda: Huh, and I thought we’d have to prepare something for Kathrin as an apology, since we made her wait this long.

Kathrina: Hehe, don’t underestimate me.

Shizuka: Ohh?

Kathrina: I’m working on improving myself every day. So, did you have fun checking out the stalls?

Kokona: Yeah! But we haven’t checked them all, because we wanted to get you first! Oh, you know what? There’s a stall selling delicious omikuji castella cake!

Kathrina: Hehe, I know!

Kokona: Wow, you’re sure well-informed!..

Kathrina: Somewhat. Come on, let’s go see what else we can find. Did you notice some other interesting ones?

Kokona: Ah, yeah, there’s also a tama-konnyaku stall that seems really popular…

Shizuka: Hey, don’t rush like that!

Panda: Hehe, everyone sure is in high spirits!

Chisa: Right, Sirius is going to have another great year ahead.

Ramona: Well, let’s head back too then?

Lilja: Yes.

Hikari: Hey, Ramo-san. What did you talk about with Kathrina-chan?

Ramona: Huh? Oh, we just remembered some stuff from the past.

Hikari: Common memories! You’ve known each other since back when you were in Germany, so there must have been a lot to discuss, right?

Ramona: Haha, yeah. That was a nice opportunity to talk about all sorts of things.

Hikari: That’s great! Kathrina-chan looked really well in a kimono, too!

Lilja: Yes. It was adorable to see her cheeks turning bright red. I was surprised when she suddenly ran off to buy a castella cake.

Ramona: Me too. Oh, right, there should be an omikuji inside the cake, no?

Hikari: Yeah! I wonder if you get Ultra Happy Delicious slightly good luck too!

Ramona: Well then, let’s see…

Hikari: How is it?

Ramona: Oh! It’s excellent luck.

Hikari: Whoa?! Ramo-san, that’s so cool!

Lilja: Hmm… It says “What you regret about the past will be turned around.”

Ramona: Haha, so that’s how it is.

Hikari: Ramo-san, isn’t that great! Why don’t you eat a piece of cake to celebrate it? Isn’t it tasty?

Ramona: Yeah. That’s true, it’s delicious.

Ramona: Come on, there’s enough for all of us, so help yourselves!

Hikari: Really?! Yay! Thanks for the treat!

Lilja: Just one should be fine. Thank you.

Hikari: Umm! Yummy!

Lilja: Amazing sweetness that gently melts in your mouth.

Ramona: Hehe, looks like another great year awaits us ahead.
