Shrine Hall
Minori
Wow... I'm exhausted...
Shizuku
So am I. I'm guessing it has to do with having to stand the entire time outside of breaks.
Airi
Hate to break it to you both, but we still have a stream to do tomorrow. Try to hang in there, okay?
Haruka
Hehe. You don't seem tired one bit, Airi.
Minori
Oh, I know...! What if we did our stream dressed as shrine maidens?! I bet everybody will love it!
Airi
Nice idea, but something doesn't seem right about borrowing these for that sort of purpose... Hm?
Mizuki
No way! You guys really are dressed as shrine maidens! Cute doesn't even begin to describe how you look!
Ena
That's what you're gonna lead with?
Not, “Happy New Year”...?
Not, “Happy New Year”...?
Airi
Ena! Mizuki!
Minori
Oh, Happy New Year!
Shizuku
Happy New Year, Asahina.
Let's make this year a good one.

Mafuyu
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
Well, some things came up and we all decided to help out.
Mafuyu
Yes, I see. You must've been very busy.
Kanade
S-S-So cold...!
Airi
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
That reminds me. How does some amazake sound? That should warm you right up.
Mizuki
Yeah, that sounds great!
We might just have to take you up on that♪
We might just have to take you up on that♪
Shizuku
Alright, here you are.
Kanade
Th-Thank you...
Ahh, so warm...
Ahh, so warm...
Mizuki
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
You sound like an old man after a night of drinking...
Mafuyu
This is just what we needed.
Thank you, Hinomori.
Thank you, Hinomori.
Shizuku
Hehe. You're all very welcome.
Mizuki
Alright, now that we've warmed up, let's start hitting up everything we can here!
Kanade
Such as...?
Mizuki
For starters, Omikuji!
Mafuyu
Aren't we usually supposed to make our wishes first?
Mizuki
Aww, don't be like that!
We'll be fine as long as we keep believing!
We'll be fine as long as we keep believing!
Airi
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
I agree...
There's no rule saying that we have to go in a certain order.

Ena
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
In that case, I can show you where the Omikuji booth is. Shall we?
Mizuki
Yay! I got a “great blessing”♪
Ena
Why'd it give me a "curse"...?
Mizuki
Whoa, I've never seen anyone get that before! Wanna trade?
Ena
I don't need your pity!
Minori
Let's see... Kanade, you got #99!
Kanade
Thank you...
Oh...
Oh...
Kanade
Can I try again?
Minori
Huh? Of course!
Is it for someone else?
Is it for someone else?
Kanade
Yes...
Well... For all the others...
Well... For all the others...
Minori
Alright...!
Here you are! #1!
Here you are! #1!
Mafuyu
What did you get, Kanade?
Kanade
A “minor blessing”. How about you, Mafuyu?
Mafuyu
I got the same.
I think it's because we both drew the same number.
I think it's because we both drew the same number.
Kanade
Right.
Oh...
Oh...
Kanade
It says, “Work hard and your wish will be granted...”
Mafuyu
...
By working hard...?
By working hard...?
Kanade
Let's do our best this year, Mafuyu.
Mafuyu
Yes, let's...
Mizuki
Hey!
Looks like there's no line for the shrine! We can make our wishes right now!
Looks like there's no line for the shrine! We can make our wishes right now!
Kanade
Oh, okay.
Be right there.
Be right there.
Haruka
(It's already well past dusk...
Our time as shrine maidens is about to come to a close.)
Our time as shrine maidens is about to come to a close.)
Haruka
(Yoisaki's group may very well be the last we see making wishes tonight.)
Mizuki
Alright, everyone got their offerings ready? We can ring the bell once we throw them in...
Kanade
Yes, I'm ready...
Mizuki
Here we go!
Ena
(I want to draw in a way that I can be happy with this year... And...)
Ena
(No, I'll do something about Mizuki myself... I can't wish that away after saying that I'd wait...)
Mizuki
(I'm glad we're celebrating New Year's like this again...)
Mizuki
(Please make it so things stay like this...)
Mafuyu
(I want to discover the “real me”...)
Kanade
...
Kanade
(I want to compose a song that can save everyone...)
Miku
<...>
Miku
(I came to take a quick peek...)
Miku
(But they seem completely focused on their wishes.)
Miku
<I'll make a wish too...>
Miku
(Please make all of their wishes come true...)
Haruka
Huh...?
Haruka
(I thought I saw something poke out of Yoisaki's pocket just now... Maybe I'm just seeing things...)
Airi
Everything alright, Haruka?
Is something going on with Ena and her friends?
Is something going on with Ena and her friends?
Haruka
Uh... No, it's nothing...
Haruka
I was just marveling at how seriously they're taking their wishes...
Shizuku
Yes, I noticed that too.
What they're all wishing for must be very important to them.
What they're all wishing for must be very important to them.
Minori
Yeah, I totally understand! It's natural to take a little longer when wishing for something really big or important!
Haruka
Yes, let's...
Haruka
I don't actually know what they're wishing for...
Haruka
But I hope all of their wishes come true for them.
6:00 pm
Haruka
And... That's a wrap.
Thank you all for doing this.
Thank you all for doing this.
Airi
That just flew by us, huh?
Still, I thought it was a great experience!
Still, I thought it was a great experience!
Shizuku
Me too. It was nice seeing how everyone smiled as we distributed amazake to them.
Minori
Yeah!
It wasn't always easy, but it ended up being really fun!
It wasn't always easy, but it ended up being really fun!
Haruka
I agree. Also, it was great seeing so many people stop by to make their wishes.
Shizuku
Hehe. It sure was!
Oh, why don't we cap everything off by making our own wishes?
Oh, why don't we cap everything off by making our own wishes?
Airi
Yeah, let's go!
I'm sure all our hard work will be rewarded! Somebody up there must've been watching us!
I'm sure all our hard work will be rewarded! Somebody up there must've been watching us!
Haruka
Hehe. I sure hope so.
Haruka
Alright, let's ring the bell...
Haruka
(I want to be able to spread as much hope as we can to as many people as possible, together...)
Airi
Okay, I'm all set!
Minori
Me too! Oh, while we're at it, we should go see what fortunes we get!
Shizuku
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
There's no way a charm for streamers exists! We just gotta make our own luck when it comes to that!
Haruka
Hehe...
For now, let's just focus on making our New Year's stream a good one!
For now, let's just focus on making our New Year's stream a good one!
Minori
Yeah!!
