Rin

Listen

Wow!
2

Miku

Listen

That's amazing, KAITO!

KAITO

Listen

Yo... Ho...

4

Rin

Listen

You're so good at juggling, KAITO!
5

Minori

Listen

Yeah! It feels like magic for some reason!
6

KAITO

Listen

Thank you!
I was able to figure out how to do this after watching Airi and the others play.
7

Luka

Listen

Hehe. Kendama, marbles, juggling...
All the toys you bought for us are so much fun, Airi.
8

Miku

Listen

Yeah, thank you so much for getting these for us!
9

Airi

Listen

Hehe. We made sure to test them out before buying, so your satisfaction is guaranteed!
10

Airi

Listen

We even got a chance to play some competitive Hanetsuki, and the four of us had a really fun match!
11

Haruka

Listen

The four of you?
I thought you went shopping with just Ena yesterday...
12

Airi

Listen

Oh, we ran into Akito and Toya yesterday, and we decided to go to the mall together.
13

Shizuku

Listen

Wow, what are the odds?
14

Shizuku

Listen

Also, Akito and Ena going shopping together on New Year's Day must mean they're very close!
I'm actually a little jealous...
15

Minori

Listen

Wait, Akito...?
16

Minori

Listen

As in Shinonome...?!
17

Haruka

Listen

Huh?
18

Airi

Listen

Yeah, that's right...
19

Minori

Listen

Wait, I didn't know that Ena and Shinonome were siblings!!
20

Shizuku

Listen

Oh, were neither of you aware?
21

Airi

Listen

I thought you two already did...
22

Haruka

Listen

No. I've met both of them before, but I didn't know that they were brother and sister.
23

Haruka

Listen

But now that you mention it, their personalities are somewhat similar...
24

Airi

Listen

Yeah, they do have a lot in common.
Especially how they both hate to lose.
25

Airi

Listen

You should've seen how competitive things got when we played Hanetsuki yesterday. Neither of them was willing to let the other win.
26

Shizuku

Listen

Hehe. They really do get along.
27

Haruka

Listen

Wait, that counts as getting along...?
28

Airi

Listen

Actually, she might be right. After all, they say that close friends get into arguments all the time.
29

Airi

Listen

Anyway, let's have ourselves a test Hanetsuki match before we do this live during our stream!
30

Airi

Listen

If we're gonna keep spreading hope to lots of people this year, then we gotta give it everything we've got!!
31

Minori, Haruka & Shizuku

Listen

Yeah!

Len

Listen

Darn it! We lost again!
33

Rin

Listen

This is so frustrating! We only managed to score two points!
34

KAITO

Listen

Haha. To be fair, that smash shot you hit did catch me off guard.
35

Luka

Listen

Heh heh heh.
If this is all you two have got, then you don't have any hope of defeating Miku and MEIKO.
36

Rin

Listen

Grrrr!
37

Len

Listen

Let's have a rematch!
We're not gonna lose this time!
38

Miku

Listen

They certainly sound motivated.
39

Toya

Listen

Yes, I'm glad that they're enjoying themselves.
40

Toya

Listen

We had quite a lot of fun during our match yesterday, so it's nice to be able to share that with all of you.
41

MEIKO

Listen

Speaking of which, Akito, you ended up playing with your sister and her friend, right?
42
Playing Hanetsuki together? You two are really close.
43

Akito

Listen

Hardly.
That's just what ended up happening.
44

Akito

Listen

Still, I am glad that I had a chance to talk to Momoi.
45

Kohane

Listen

With Airi?
46

Akito

Listen

Yeah, she's been friends with Ena since junior high. So we've talked a few times.
47
Wait, really?!
She takes the time to talk to her friend's siblings? That's so kind of her.
48

Kohane

Listen

What did you two talk about yesterday?
49

Akito

Listen

I thanked her for being Ena's friend all this time.
50

Kohane

Listen

You thanked her...?
Hehe. It's so like you to do that, Shinonome.
51
I know, right?! Akito's so old-fashioned when it comes to these sorts of things!
52

Akito

Listen

Huh?
If you ask me, it's pretty normal to thank those who've helped out your family.
53
That's what I'm talking about!
You're like... A chivalrous samurai or something!
54

Akito

Listen

Alright, you keep believing whatever.
55

Akito

Listen

(Still, I'm glad that I got a chance to tell her how I felt.)
56

Akito

Listen

(Also...)

Akito

Listen

(It was nice to be reminded of how those around us are genuinely hoping that we make our dream a reality.)
58

Akito

Listen

(Which means we need to keep finding ways to move forward.)
