Emu
So I was talking to Honami the other day, and she told me about how she and her friends all visited a shrine together! I thought it'd be great if we went too♪
Miku
A shrine...!
That's where everything goes JINGLE-JINGLE-CLANG-CLANG, right♪ Sounds like fun☆

Rui
I believe she's referring to either the bell you ring when making a wish or the sound of drawing a fortune from an omikuji tube.
KAITO
Now that you mention it, none of you had a chance to go last year because you spent all your time discussing show ideas here.
MEIKO
Oh no you don't! You're coming with us! I'm not about to let you hibernate through the holidays!
Tsukasa
Well, Saki said that she'll be staying over at Ichika's for New Year's, so we probably won't be visiting as a family until the evening...
Rui
Yes, I see... Since we're all going, it'll be good to come up with some special effects to mark the occasion...

Ena
Yeah, go for it. Oh, we should probably move everything closer towards the middle so nothing spills or falls over.
Mizuki
Yeah, a New Year's Eve Countdown Party! The one we did last year was super fun, so we decided to do one again this year♪
Ena
Lemme guess. You couldn't get tickets to the anime song countdown show again and didn't have anything else to do?
Mizuki
But since we're all here, why don't we do some other New Year's stuff this year instead of just a countdown?
Ena
Oh, speaking of which, Airi just sent me this... <We're volunteering as shrine maidens at a local shrine.>
Mizuki
What?!
Did she say, “We”...?! Do you know what this means?! Real-life idols dressed up as shrine maidens!

Mizuki
MMJ dressed up as shrine maidens...! We've gotta see this!! How about it, you guys?!
Mizuki
I get that leading with seeing idols dressed as shrine maidens wasn't great, but I do kinda want to visit a shrine together with you guys.
Ena
Actually, it's supposed to be warmer than usual that day, so it shouldn't be that bad.
Ena
Yeah. It's been pretty warm all winter, so we'll get an early taste of spring during the holidays. Which is why I'm thinking about going.
Mafuyu
But I always have some free time at night, so I'll ask to see if they'll let me go...
