Great.

It's a little chilly this morning, but it's really nice out.

Let's go.

Huff... Huff... Huff... Huff...

Phew... That felt good.

(I'll do some stretches as usual here before heading back.)

Hello there, Haruka.

As energetic as ever I see.

Oh, Ms. Enomoto, good morning.

You must be busy as well this time of year being a Shrine Maiden and all.

I could say the same for you.

It's incredible how you go out for a run every morning despite it being so cold out.

Actually, I really enjoy exercising like this.

But it's almost New Year's Eve.

I'm sure you've been getting a lot of people lately.

Yes, we have. We run ourselves ragged every year around this time to keep this place going.

I can tell...

But it's been getting very cold at night, so please make sure to keep warm.

Thank you!

As busy as it gets, I actually have a lot of fun seeing all these people stop by to pray and make their wishes.

They're all trying to make their futures as bright and prosperous as possible, so I'd like to help them achieve their goals in whatever way I can.

Hehe. That's so noble of you.

(I was the recipient of that support a while back too...)

(I remember visiting this shrine right after I became the lead for ASRUN...)

(If I recall correctly, that was also when Ms. Enomoto came to talk to me.)

(And I felt so much better after that little chat.)

I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who are grateful for the support you're giving them...

So I wish you the best this year.

Thank you very much, Haruka.

Now, if you'll excuse me.

Happy holidays.

Phew... Showering right after a run always feels so good.

We'll be discussing plans regarding our New Year's stream later tonight, so I think I'll try coming up with some ideas until...

Hm? A message from Minori...?

<Haruka! Airi! Shizuku!

I have some ideas for our New Year's stream!>

Whoa, this is pretty long...

Hehe. She came up with so many.

<They all sound really good. Let's talk about which we can do tomorrow.>

<Okay! Oh, I'd like to change subjects before I forget...>

<How about we all go visit a shrine together on New Year's?>

Visit a shrine?

<We were so busy practicing for our New Year's stream last year that we didn't get a chance...>

<But we're doing it on the second this time, so I was thinking that we could all go on New Year's Day!>

<Would that be alright?

Oh, but it's okay if you can't go!!!!>

Hehe. I keep forgetting how many stickers and stamps Minori has. I've never seen this one before... “Will you consider it?”

<Sure, I should be free to go.>

Hehe. Oh, Minori.

Hey, that's great.

Airi and Shizuku can go too.

And I think I know just the shrine we can all go to...

<I know a good shrine that we can visit.>

Hehe.

We get to visit it together. I can't wait.

(I know it won't be easy, but I really want to introduce them to Ms. Enomoto if possible...)

(It'd be great to show her that we're all still trying our best as idols...)
