But I'm glad that we were both able to draw great blessings. It's an excellent way to start off the new year.
Akito
Still, this place is also packed with people...
There might be a huge line to get into that cafe.

We may want to head there early, since you mentioned that they'd be serving only a few plates of those New Year's pancakes...
Toya
We should probably head to the cafe before visiting the sporting goods store at the mall.

Toya
Could you tell me more about these New Year's pancakes? I've been having a hard time figuring out how they managed to tie a Western dish to this holiday...
Akito
Apparently, it's a stack of three pancakes coated in white chocolate and a mandarin on top.

That being said, I don't mind waiting.
We're not doing anything else other than visiting that sporting goods store, so let's get in line.

Happy New Year, Momoi.
One of their menu items caught our attention, so we came to try it.

Look, us running into each other like this can't just be a coincidence, so let's all wait together, shall we?
Toya
With the exception of tomorrow.
We're actually going to play competitive Hanetsuki with some friends.

Toya
Yes, it's Hanetsuki with rules that mirror similar sports. As you can probably see from this image, they use larger paddles and shuttlecocks.

But we had trouble coming up with ones that would be entertaining on a stream. Ena and I are actually gonna head over to the mall to see if they have anything good.
Akito
Then, why don't we all go together?
We were also planning to head over to the mall after checking out this cafe.

Ena
I'm not in love with the idea of going with Akito, but I guess it would make sense for us to go together.
Airi
I tried searching for New Year's games we could play during our stream, but I ended up with way too many choices. It was hard to pick just one.
Airi
My sisters and I used to play Karuta a lot when we were little. I also remember crying a lot since I could never beat my big sis.
Akito
Yeah...
I remember a certain someone always placing a big bet that invariably put them deep in debt.

Ena
I mean, you never did anything interesting.
You always ended up leading a boring life with no detours.

Yes, my dad usually performed in New Year's concerts overseas. We'd go as a family to watch him play.
