Minori

Listen

Wow... I'm exhausted...

Shizuku

Listen

So am I. I'm guessing it has to do with having to stand the entire time outside of breaks.

Airi

Listen

Hate to break it to you both, but we still have a stream to do tomorrow. Try to hang in there, okay?

Haruka

Listen

Hehe. You don't seem tired one bit, Airi.

Minori

Listen

Oh, I know...! What if we did our stream dressed as shrine maidens?! I bet everybody will love it!

Airi

Listen

Nice idea, but something doesn't seem right about borrowing these for that sort of purpose... Hm?

Sound Effect: Play

Mizuki

Listen

No way! You guys really are dressed as shrine maidens! Cute doesn't even begin to describe how you look!

Ena

Listen

That's what you're gonna lead with?
Not, “Happy New Year”...?

Airi

Listen

Ena! Mizuki!

Minori

Listen

Oh, Happy New Year!

Shizuku

Listen

Happy New Year, Asahina.
Let's make this year a good one.

Mafuyu

Listen

Happy New Year, Hinomori.
Ena told us that you'd all be here, but I still quite can't believe that you're here volunteering as shrine maidens.

Shizuku

Listen

Well, some things came up and we all decided to help out.

Mafuyu

Listen

Yes, I see. You must've been very busy.

Sound Effect: Play

Kanade

Listen

S-S-So cold...!

Airi

Listen

Oh, are you alright?
It's been warmer than usual around this time, but it still gets pretty chilly after the sun goes down...

Haruka

Listen

That reminds me. How does some amazake sound? That should warm you right up.

Mizuki

Listen

Yeah, that sounds great!
We might just have to take you up on that♪

Shizuku

Listen

Alright, here you are.

Kanade

Listen

Th-Thank you...
Ahh, so warm...

Mizuki

Listen

Whoa! Amazake from a real idol!
I can feel it coursing through my veins! It's like all five of my senses are on fire now!

Ena

Listen

You sound like an old man after a night of drinking...

Mafuyu

Listen

This is just what we needed.
Thank you, Hinomori.

Shizuku

Listen

Hehe. You're all very welcome.

Mizuki

Listen

Alright, now that we've warmed up, let's start hitting up everything we can here!

Kanade

Listen

Such as...?

Mizuki

Listen

For starters, Omikuji!

Mafuyu

Listen

Aren't we usually supposed to make our wishes first?

Mizuki

Listen

Aww, don't be like that!
We'll be fine as long as we keep believing!

Airi

Listen

I'm not sure how to feel about that, but I don't see a problem with checking out everything in whatever order you like.

Kanade

Listen

I agree...
There's no rule saying that we have to go in a certain order.

Ena

Listen

Yeah, I guess that's true.
Plus, I got to see Airi. Let's get this over with so we can head over to a diner to relax.

Haruka

Listen

In that case, I can show you where the Omikuji booth is. Shall we?

Mizuki

Listen

Yay! I got a “great blessing”♪

Ena

Listen

Why'd it give me a "curse"...?

Mizuki

Listen

Whoa, I've never seen anyone get that before! Wanna trade?

Ena

Listen

I don't need your pity!

Minori

Listen

Let's see... Kanade, you got #99!

Kanade

Listen

Thank you...
Oh...

Kanade

Listen

Can I try again?

Minori

Listen

Huh? Of course!
Is it for someone else?

Kanade

Listen

Yes...
Well... For all the others...

Sound Effect: Play

Minori

Listen

Alright...!
Here you are! #1!

Sound Effect: Play

Mafuyu

Listen

What did you get, Kanade?

Kanade

Listen

A “minor blessing”. How about you, Mafuyu?

Mafuyu

Listen

I got the same.
I think it's because we both drew the same number.

Kanade

Listen

Right.
Oh...

Kanade

Listen

It says, “Work hard and your wish will be granted...”

Mafuyu

Listen

...
By working hard...?

Kanade

Listen

Let's do our best this year, Mafuyu.

Mafuyu

Listen

Yes, let's...

Mizuki

Listen

Hey!
Looks like there's no line for the shrine! We can make our wishes right now!

Kanade

Listen

Oh, okay.
Be right there.

Haruka

Listen

(It's already well past dusk...
Our time as shrine maidens is about to come to a close.)

Haruka

Listen

(Yoisaki's group may very well be the last we see making wishes tonight.)

Mizuki

Listen

Alright, everyone got their offerings ready? We can ring the bell once we throw them in...

Kanade

Listen

Yes, I'm ready...

Mizuki

Listen

Here we go!

Ena

Listen

(I want to draw in a way that I can be happy with this year... And...)

Ena

Listen

(No, I'll do something about Mizuki myself... I can't wish that away after saying that I'd wait...)

Mizuki

Listen

(I'm glad we're celebrating New Year's like this again...)

Mizuki

Listen

(Please make it so things stay like this...)

Mafuyu

Listen

(I want to discover the “real me”...)

Kanade

Listen

...

Kanade

Listen

(I want to compose a song that can save everyone...)

Miku

Listen

<...>

Miku

Listen

(I came to take a quick peek...)

Miku

Listen

(But they seem completely focused on their wishes.)

Miku

Listen

<I'll make a wish too...>

Miku

Listen

(Please make all of their wishes come true...)

Haruka

Listen

Huh...?

Haruka

Listen

(I thought I saw something poke out of Yoisaki's pocket just now... Maybe I'm just seeing things...)

Airi

Listen

Everything alright, Haruka?
Is something going on with Ena and her friends?

Haruka

Listen

Uh... No, it's nothing...

Haruka

Listen

I was just marveling at how seriously they're taking their wishes...

Shizuku

Listen

Yes, I noticed that too.
What they're all wishing for must be very important to them.

Minori

Listen

Yeah, I totally understand! It's natural to take a little longer when wishing for something really big or important!

Haruka

Listen

Yes, let's...

Haruka

Listen

I don't actually know what they're wishing for...

Haruka

Listen

But I hope all of their wishes come true for them.

Haruka

Listen

And... That's a wrap.
Thank you all for doing this.

Airi

Listen

That just flew by us, huh?
Still, I thought it was a great experience!

Shizuku

Listen

Me too. It was nice seeing how everyone smiled as we distributed amazake to them.

Minori

Listen

Yeah!
It wasn't always easy, but it ended up being really fun!

Haruka

Listen

I agree. Also, it was great seeing so many people stop by to make their wishes.

Shizuku

Listen

Hehe. It sure was!
Oh, why don't we cap everything off by making our own wishes?

Airi

Listen

Yeah, let's go!
I'm sure all our hard work will be rewarded! Somebody up there must've been watching us!

Haruka

Listen

Hehe. I sure hope so.

Haruka

Listen

Alright, let's ring the bell...

Haruka

Listen

(I want to be able to spread as much hope as we can to as many people as possible, together...)

Airi

Listen

Okay, I'm all set!

Minori

Listen

Me too! Oh, while we're at it, we should go see what fortunes we get!

Shizuku

Listen

In that case, I'd like to get a good luck charm as well. Are there any that can help make sure our streams go well?

Airi

Listen

There's no way a charm for streamers exists! We just gotta make our own luck when it comes to that!

Haruka

Listen

Hehe...
For now, let's just focus on making our New Year's stream a good one!

Minori

Listen

Yeah!!
