Chisa
Kokona, pass me that soy sauce.

Kokona
Ah, okay! Here you go, Sasuga-chan!

Chisa
Mmm, I'll show you...this is soy sauce flambé!

Shizuka
Isn't that just making burnt soy sauce?

Kathrina
W-Wait a minute! The sauerkraut...the vinegar measurement is...ah, I spilled it!

Panda
Hey, wait wait Katorin! You don't have to measure so precisely with a teaspoon!

Panda
It's fine to be approximate, approximate. You were so tense your hands were trembling!

Chisa
The black beans I've been preparing since the day before, tazukuri[1], and kurikinton[2] preparations are perfect. Once what we're making now is done, all that's left is to arrange it in the boxes...!

Kathrina
The osechi is taking shape.

Panda
I'd be grateful if Katorin could make her cooking take shape faster though~...

Kathrina
Hm? Panda, did you say something?

Panda
No, nothing! Let's make it together, Katorin!

Kokona
Each of these has its own meaning. The person who thought of it is amazing~

Shizuka
Yes, kuromame means to work diligently, and it has the meaning of warding off evil, right?

Panda
Konbu[3] rolls are for longevity and prosperity of descendants!

Chisa
And red and white somen means to live a life with resilience like somen...

Panda
Don't add things on your own! That somen is just something Sassu wanted to put in!

Kokona
The first tier is regular osechi, and the second tier is things everyone wanted to put in...so this is Sirius's osechi~.

Chisa
Yeah, this is our osechi. Now, let's get to finishing it!

Chisa
It's done...complete...!

Kokona
Ooh...!

Kathrina
Phew...there's a real sense of accomplishment.

Shizuka
Especially for you, Kathrina. But now that it's done, it's kind of moving.

Shizuka
So, Panda, did you get the video footage you wanted?

Panda
Heh heh heh, it's perfect...! Sirius Osechi Making Edition! This is gonna be a hit~!

Kokona
Even though you were making food with Kathrina-chan, when did you...as expected of Panda-chan...!

Kathrina
We're going to leisurely eat this during New Year, right? So is all the prep for today done?

Chisa
Yeah, it's do...ah.

Panda
Hm? What's wrong, Sassu? W-Why are you turning pale!?

Chisa
Oh no...I messed up.

Kokona
Messed up...? What?

Chisa
I forgot to reserve the freshly pounded mochi for ozoni. I was doing the osechi preparations ahead of time and got so absorbed in that...

Shizuka and Kathrina
Huh...?

Everyone
Ehhhhh!?
