Shiho

(Okay, I got here earlier than usual today, so I think I'll practice a bit on my own...)

2

Shiho

Hm...?
There's something on top of that desk... Someone's fortune?

3

Shiho

A “great blessing” too.
But it looks handwritten...

4

Rin

You saw it!

5

MEIKO

You saw it, didn't you?!

6

Shiho

Huh?!

7

Shiho

Uh, Rin, MEIKO?
What's going on here? What did I see...?

8

Shiho

Hold on. You mean this?

9

MEIKO

Correct!
Of all the people who could've found it, you ended up being the one.

10

Rin

*Sigh*
I knew it was a bad idea to leave it here... Even if we did just leave to deal with our pens running dry.

11

Shiho

Hang on... Are you two saying that you're making your fortunes?

12

MEIKO

Yes, that's right.
Rin came up with the idea of making a type of Omikuji that only gives out “great blessings” just for Honami.

13

Rin

Yeah!
She didn't get one at the shrine this year, right?

14

Rin

That's why I want her to start off the new year with a great, big smile by drawing a “great blessing”.

15

MEIKO

Isn't it a wonderful idea?
And so, I decided to help out.

16

Shiho

I see... Now it makes sense.

17

Rin

Also, now that you know our plan, you're one of us...♪

18

Shiho

Wait, what...?!

19

MEIKO

Heh heh heh.
There's no escape, Shiho♪

20

Shiho

Y-You too, MEIKO?!

A few hours later

Sound Effect: Play

21

Ichika

Phew... That went pretty well.
I feel like that's enough for today in terms of a full group practice.

22

Saki

Yeah!
Whew... We practiced a ton today...

23

Shiho

You have work after this, right, Honami...?

24

Honami

Yes, I do.
I was actually just about to head out.

25

Ichika

I'll probably stick around a while longer to practice some stuff on my own. There's a part that still needs more work.

26

Saki

Oh, I'll stay too!
There are some parts that I wanna practice with you, Ichi.

27

Shiho

If that's the case...
I'll stick around for a bit too.

28

Honami

Sorry, everyone. I wish I could stay to practice, but I really do need to go. Maybe next time...

29

Honami

Anyway, I'll see you tomorrow!

30

Saki

Bye!
Stay safe!

31

Ichika

Shall we get started right away?

32

Shiho

Before that... Can I have a minute with you guys?

33

Saki

Hm? Sure, Shiho. What's up?

34

Shiho

I kinda want your help making “great blessings” for Honami...

35

Ichika & Saki

“Great blessings”...?

36

Saki

Oh, so Rin and MEIKO are making it for her! That's so thoughtful of them!

37

Ichika

An Omikuji with only “great blessings”...
Hehe. Honami's going to love that.

38

Ichika

What do you need help with exactly?

39

Shiho

The idea is to write all these “great blessing” fortunes, but we're still not sure what to write for each section.

40

Saki

Each section?

41

Shiho

Regarding education, others who you're awaiting and stuff, you know...?

42

Shiho

I was hoping that you could help us come up with things that Honami would like.

43

Saki

Yeah, totally!
Let's come up with a whole bunch of them!

44

Ichika

I'm in too.
By the way, have you written something, Shiho?

45

Shiho

Y-Yes... Uh...

46

Saki

Oh, can we see?!
Hmm...

47

Saki

“Education: You'll be fine. (If anything, I'd like you to tutor me in math.)
Music: You're developing your very own sound while staying in perfect rhythm. Keep it up.”

48

Ichika

Haha. Only you would write this, Shiho.

49

Saki

But this would totally send any of us over the moon, you know?! I'm gonna write one too♪

50

Saki

What should I say?
“Ambition: I want some of your apple pies, Hona!” How's that?

51

Ichika

Isn't that what you want?

52

Shiho

Hm...?

53

Saki

Oh no! I-Is that Hona?!

54

Ichika

Wh-What do we do?! She'll find out...!
