Minori

Now that we've learned the proper etiquette for being shrine maidens, let's give it our best shot!

Shizuku

Yes, let's make sure everyone who visits is able to fondly look back upon this past year and look forward to the next one!

Haruka

Listen

Yeah.
Oh, but there's something I need to ask you all to do...

Haruka

Listen

We've lightly disguised ourselves just in case this time...

Haruka

Listen

But in the event that some of our fans do realize who we are, please tell them that, “We're volunteering here on our own time.”

Airi

Listen

Good idea. We may also want to ask them to refrain from taking pictures and posting them online.

Minori

Listen

Okay!
We wouldn't want to cause the shrine or its visitors any trouble so...

Shizuku

Listen

Yes, I agree. I'm sure they'll understand as long as we ask them politely.

Minori

Listen

Still, Haruka, your fans are gonna be so surprised when they see you here... Dressed as a shrine maiden no less...

Minori

Listen

Some might even think that this is a shrine dedicated to you!

Airi

Listen

A shrine dedicated to Haruka...?

Minori

Listen

Huh? Well, I mean...

Kiritani Shrine

Minori

Listen

Alright, we're here!
I'm gonna make so many wishes this year!

Minori

Listen

Hm? Wait, is that...?

Minori

Listen

H-Haruka?!
What are you doing here?!

Haruka

Listen

This is the Kiritani Shrine, so it's only natural for me to be here.

Minori

Listen

Wh-What?!

Minori

Listen

I-Is this my reward for working so hard this past year...?!

Haruka

Listen

Why don't I make a wish with you?
Oh, I could ask for you to have another great year.

Minori

Listen

O-Okay!!

Minori

Listen

Something like that...!

Airi

Listen

That didn't make any sense at all!!

Shizuku

Listen

You have such a vivid imagination, Minori.

Haruka

Listen

Haha...

Shizuku

Listen

Oh, doesn't a shrine dedicated to Haruka means that there'd also be a festival to celebrate her?

Haruka

Listen

What?

Minori

Listen

A Haruka festival?!
That'd be amazing!

Shizuku

Listen

Wouldn't it also be fun to dance and parade around while carrying a little shrine in her honor?

Minori

Listen

Yeah, it absolutely would be!
Oh, what if we had lanterns that look like penguins!

Shizuku

Listen

Yes, we could even wave around blue glow sticks and offer delicious sweets in celebration.

Minori

Listen

We'll need lots of merch too, like charms and ceremonial arrows in Haruka's image...

Haruka

Listen

Merch...?

Airi

Listen

You've gone from being a shrine maiden to a goddess...

Airi

Listen

Do you have any words to offer your overzealous followers, your divineness?

Haruka

Listen

I'm the furthest thing from divine, but alright... Ahem...

Haruka

Listen

Minori, Shizuku...
Hear my words.

Minori

Listen

Eep!
Th-That voice...!!

Shizuku

Listen

It's the great Haruka!

Haruka

Listen

This is hallowed ground...
You must behave accordingly as the shrine maidens you are.

Minori

Listen

Th-Thank you!
We will!

Shizuku

Listen

We promise not to disappoint!

Minori, Shizuku & Haruka

...

Airi

Listen

Hah!
Seriously? None of you came up with a punchline for that?

Haruka

Listen

Haha. Sorry about that, you two. Our divine comedy tragically must come to an end.

Minori

Listen

Hehe... That actually helped me a lot, Haruka! I feel like I can make it through today now!

Shizuku

Listen

I feel the same way!
If anything, I'm more inclined to do my part as a shrine maiden now!

Haruka

Listen

That's good to hear.
But I feel a little embarrassed about my performance just now... I hope no one up there was watching...

Airi

Listen

But it worked, didn't it?
That's Haruka Kiritani for you!

Airi

Listen

Anyway, we should head over soon.
Shall we?

Haruka

Listen

Okay.

Haruka

Listen

(A shrine dedicated to me...
I really don't deserve anything like that...)

Haruka

Listen

(I just want to make it so all these hopeful visitors get to make their wishes today.)

Haruka

Listen

Alright, let's give it everything we have today! Ready?

Minori & Shizuku

Listen

Yeah!
