(Wh-What do we do...?!
We can't let Rin and MEIKO's amazing idea go to waste like this! We have to see this through for Hona's sake...!)
(We'll blow everyone's cover if we don't do something...!)
Huh? Is something wrong...?
You all seem flustered...
Uh, w-we just... Well...
We weren't expecting you...
Cause you had to go to work, you know?
(Nice save, Shiho...!
Oh, she even managed to keep everything out of Honami's line of sight!)
Anyway, I just wanted to ask about practice tomorrow before I did go.
I was wondering if we could focus on some of the parts that were giving me trouble. Something about them isn't clicking right in my head...
Yeah, sure.
It's probably best for us to nip that in the bud.
Thank you so much!
I thought about just sending a message, but I really wanted to get it off my chest as soon as I could.
Anyway, see you all tomorrow.
Okay, see you.
Bye bye, Hona!!
See you.
Geez...
Safe!!
That was amazing, Shiho!!
I thought we were done for, but you found the perfect place to stand. Thank you, Shiho.
Hey, I broke out in a cold sweat too...
But I wasn't about to let MEIKO and Rin's idea get ruined after agreeing to help them.
Hehe. I'm with you there.
Anyway, let's get back to writing out blessings for her!
Yeah!
Yeah.
That was really good!
You stayed completely focused through all of it.
Thank you very much!
Huh...?
Rin? MEIKO?
Why are you two grinning like that?
(Oh...
Is it done?)
Hona!
We made a special Omikuji just for you!
What?
Why don't you try drawing from it? I'm sure you'll enjoy what comes out!
Th-Thank you...
But you know my luck's terrible with these...
Don't worry!
This one's specially made by me! It's guaranteed to make anyone super duper happy with a cherry on top♪
Hehe. Since you personally made this, Rin, I might just have to give it a try.
Here we go...!
Open it, Honami.
What did you get?
It's... What?! A “great blessing”?!
I got a “great blessing”?!
Yay!!
Congratulations, Hona!!
Congratulations, Honami!
Can you tell us what else is written?
Sure...
“Education: You'll be fine. (If anything, I'd like you to tutor me in math.)
Music: You're developing your very own sound while staying in perfect rhythm. Keep it up.”
(Oh, she drew mine first...)
Did you write this...?
Y-Yes, I did...
There's still lots more where that came from, Hona! Here, try drawing another one!
Okay!
Another “great blessing”!
“Travel: See the stars with your friends. (Another rooftop planetarium show could also be nice.)”
Hehe. It'd be nice to do that together since we're all here now.
Yes, I'd like that as well!
Oh, this one's a “great blessing” too!
“Lost item: You won't have trouble finding it. (Also, thank you for helping me find my glasses.)” Is this yours, KAITO?
Yes, but having it read aloud is a little embarrassing...
Hehehe. So many “great blessings”!
Oh, this must be Saki's! That's so cute!
Ichi's is really good too, so don't forget to draw it!!
Y-You don't need to egg her on...!
Heh heh heh! All according to plan!
I'm glad you like it so much, Hona♪
High five, Rin!
I have to think no one out there can top you in terms of ideas like these.
Hehe♪ You really mean that?
Also, Shiho...
Hm? Yes?
I heard that you were put in a bit of a spot but managed to keep everything a secret. We really need to thank you for doing that.
It wasn't anything major.
No, don't say that.
I mean, just look at Honami.
Do you think we would've been able to see her smile like this if she did find out in advance?
Hehe...
Yeah, you might be right.
Next is... A “super special great blessing”?! Oh, Rin, this must be yours, no?
Correct!
Keep reading♪ Keep reading♪
(All I did was help out a little, but I'm glad we did this...)
(I'm looking forward to another good year.)
