In the peaceful light of the ever-shining sun in the days of spring...

Got it!

What?! Already?!

Wow, Airi!
You're so quick!

I didn't even know which card to reach for...

Don't worry, Minori!
We just started!

Miku...!
Yeah, you're right!

We can beat them if we try really hard!

The color of the flower has already faded away while in idle thoughts...

Got it!!

How?!
I thought I could get this one...!

Next, we'll be playing Fukuwarai!

Right. Shizuku, would you like to go first?

Yes, sounds good!

Good luck, Shizuku!

Hmm, is this... An eye?

Nooo! Shizuku, that's a cheek...

Shush, Minori! Don't say anything until everything's in place...!

But it really is hard to stay quiet during this.

It's you guys...

Oh, no. It's nothing.
Keep going, Shizuku!

Okay then... What could this be...?

I'm guessing this is the mouth? I put an eye here, so the mouth should go... Here!

Wh-What?! There?!

Shizuku's so... Bold...!

To be fair, she is blindfolded...

Finished! How did I do?

It's straight out of a horror movie...

I-It's like a Picasso painting! I like what you did with it, Shizuku!

Oh, thank you so much!

Man, I don't even know where to start with this one...

Sigh... I'm spent...
But that was fun!

It was a nice change from what we usually do.

Hehe. We were so into it, we completely forgot about the camera sometimes.

Yeah, it was great!

Wait... NOOO! I forgot we were recording too!

Welcome to the club, I guess?

Wh-What do we do?! We had it all planned out so neatly, and I went off script right there...

Don't beat yourself up over something like that.

Exactly. Why don't we see how the video turned out?

O-Okay...

Oh...!

This video's great!

Yeah! Everyone's having so much fun playing those games!

Oh, but this is a bit embarrassing... I put a cheek where an eye should be and the mouth where the nose should be during Fukuwarai...

We were all really on edge when you did that...!

I was really worried because it didn't all go as we planned...

But it actually turned out pretty well in the end, right?

It's like this with live shows too. You can plan all you want, but things never really follow the script while the cameras are rolling.

Plus, it's usually better when you're just yourself and go with the flow.

Oh, I see...!

Spoken like a true professional, Airi.

Weren't you thinking the same, Haruka? I mean, I'm sure that's why you let things go off script the way they did.

Well, that was part of it but...

But...?

Everyone was having so much fun, I wanted to preserve that vibe.

Hehe! You all look so happy and enthusiastic in the video!

Yeah, you can't help but smile while watching it!

Thank you, Miku and Rin!

Hehe, I wish I hadn't made such silly mistakes in front of the camera, but if you liked the video, then I'm happy with it too.

Right. And it was a good learning experience!

Well, that was a good test run. How about we take what we learned from it and work out what we'll do for the real thing?

Haruka, before you go, would you like to stay here a bit longer and have some fun?

Huh?

We're celebrating the New Year, so it would be great if we could spend more time chatting!

I want to try Fukuwarai too!

Hmm. We have been crazy busy lately, so maybe we should just take it easy for a change...

Right. We can draw up our plans whenever so...

Let's celebrate the New Year together!

Yeah!
