Kokona
Nom! Mmm~! It's delicious, Sasuga-chan!

Kathrina
It really is, but is this okay? Ozoni is supposed to be eaten in the morning, right?

Chisa
Strike while the iron is hot, all other days are unlucky...or so they say. My stomach was getting cold with sashimi and osechi, so this is just right.

Panda
The mochi stretches so much! Freshly pounded really is different~.

Shizuka
Heh...heh heh, that's right...just watching looks delicious...pfft, heh heh...

Kokona
Pfft, cough cough! It went down the wrong pipe...!

Chisa
Are you okay, Kokona? Heh heh, I get it. The way they got roasted just now was a masterpiece...

Shizuka
Year end special programs are this funny...heh, heh heh...

Panda
During year end and New Year, everyone stays home and relaxes as much as possible. They must be putting effort in~.

Panda
Ah, right. The mochi pounding vlog I posted earlier is already getting good reviews!

Panda
Since we were helped in various ways, why don't we go to that temple again for hatsumode?

Shizuka
You say that, but you want to film a hatsumode vlog next time, don't you?

Kathrina
True, the priest was cooperative during mochi pounding too, and we could probably get filming permission.

Panda
Gulp!? A-Ahaha~, well, I am properly grateful...

Chisa
But we really were helped, weren't we? I'm in favour of Panda's idea, I guess.

Kokona
Yeah, I'm in favour too!

Kathrina
Well, it's true that we can eat mochi like this thanks to the mochi pounding. I'm in favor of going to hatsumode.

Shizuka
That's right, I feel the same way.

Panda
T-Then it's decided!! I'm looking forward to tomorrow~.

Chisa
Yeah! Off to hatsumode...right.

Panda
Ooh, as expected of hatsumode, there are so many people. We're lined up quite a bit...ah!

Iroha
Ah, Panda-san and Kokona-san! Everyone came to hatsumode too!

Mito
Heh heh. An unexpectedly early reunion...right?

Kokona
That's right! Right, Shizuka-chan!

Shizuka
Heh heh...that's right.

Shizuka
Speaking of which, what happened to Towa-chan? She was there during mochi pounding, right? Did something happen?

Tsubomi
I invited her, but she said she didn't want to go out early in the morning. She ended up not coming.

Shizuka
I-I see...how should I say it, that sounds like her usual self.

Kokona
Now that I think about it, meeting Iroha-chan and the others off duty like this doesn't happen much!

Iroha
That's true! If there's an opportunity, I'd want to meet anytime~.

Iroha
Actually, I'd like to try performing on the same stage together!

Panda
True, there aren't many places where different troupes perform together...that would make headlines, or rather, sounds fun!

Kamira
I know! There might be things we could do with promotion together with Sirius!

Mito
Sounds fun...!

Tsubomi
Indeed, by combining the domains of two troupes, we might gain unprecedented power.

Kokona
Unprecedented power...sounds amazing!

Kathrina
It depends on what Hiiragi-san and the others think, but it definitely seems like it would be an unprecedented stage.

Tsubomi
It also depends on Kaname-san and the others' judgment on our side though...thinking about it is free, as they say.

Shizuka
Heh heh, I hope it comes true. Ah, looks like it's our turn.

Kathrina
Eh, already!? T-There's proper etiquette for praying, right? W-What was it...um.

Mito
K-Kathrina-chan. It's two bows, two claps, one bow.

Chisa
What will you wish for, Panda?

Panda
Huh? Let's see...wait, that was close! If I say it, I feel like it won't come true!

Iroha
Ahaha, I get it. Wishes should be kept in your heart, right!

Kokona
Heh heh, that's right.

Everyone
(May this year be a good year too...)
