<Three, two, one...>

<Happy New Year!>

<Happy New Year.>

<Yay! Happy New Year!>

<Greeting each other like this really makes it feel New Yearsy, huh.>

<Sure, but we're still just doing what we always do.>

<Yeah, but you're missing the point!>

<Anyway, shall we start working?>

<Yes, let's begin.>

<Alright... Oh, before we do...
Are you okay to stay, Enanan?>

<Huh? What do you mean?>

<You have to get up early tomorrow, right?>

<Yeah, but... I'll be fine.>

<If I don't get my usual work done, I feel like I won't be able to actually have fun tomorrow, you know?>

<Right... In that case, thank you.
But don't feel compelled to push yourself too hard.>

<Thanks, I appreciate it.>

<You're hanging out with Airi tomorrow, right? You mentioned something about buying lucky bags and stuff.>

<Yeah, we're heading over to the mall over in the next town because it just got renovated.>

<To celebrate their grand re-opening, they've decided to sell some pretty luxurious lucky bags.>

<Really? Now I'm kinda interested.>

<You are? But you said you didn't want to come when I invited you the other day.>

<Haha. I really wanna go since Airi's also gonna be there, but the lucky bag I want is only being sold online!>

<And they start taking orders at nine.
I can't take my eyes off my computer until then!>

<Wait, can't you just order it on your phone?>

<No, my internet connection at home is way more stable.>

<Yeah, it's not uncommon to just randomly lose your connection when you're outside, so I get it, but...>

<I'm done with those lyrics, K. I'll send them over now.>

<Okay.>

<Oh, I wanna look at them too...
What you wrote might change what I draw!>

<Haha. Looks like it's business as usual again for us this year.>

<Finally, I'm done!>

<And it's still early enough that I can get some actual sleep. So, I'll be going now.>

<Okay, thank you, and sleep well.>

<Good night.>

<Don't cause Airi any trouble by oversleeping, okay?>

<Yeah, yeah. Don't stay up too late, alright?>

Okay, that should be everything I need for tomorrow.

And I know what I'm gonna wear, so it's time for bed.

Honestly, Mizuki...

There's no way I'm gonna oversleep when I get to spend an entire day with Airi.

I've set an alarm...
But I might give myself more snoozes than normal.

Alright...
Five times at fifteen minute intervals, and three at five right towards the end...

I won't have a choice but to wake up.

Wait, huh? It's already this late.
I need to get to sleep now.

(Don't worry. There's no way I'm gonna oversleep...)
