It doesn't seem all that crowded today.
Yeah, things are a lot calmer now.
The line came all the way out to here when we visited the other day.
Sorry for making you guys come here again.
I was with Kohane at PXL during New Year's Day, and didn't get a chance to visit a shrine after that.
Actually, I've been hoping that the four of us would be able to do a visit together.
Yeah, I don't have a problem with pumping ourselves up for the new year like this.
Yes, so let's go say our goals, and make this year a good one.
That ended up being a really smooth visit.
Yeah! Now that we're done, let's go draw some fortunes.
In that case, the shrine office is just over there. We've already drawn ours, so you two go on ahead.
Okay!
Let's go see how lucky we are, Kohane!
I'm a little nervous. I hope we get something good.
Hehe. We gotta start this year off on the right foot by drawing two great blessings!
(Come to think of it, they also carry lucky charms here.)
(Academics, family safety, greater luck, warding off bad luck...)
Oh...
Hm? What's up?
Ah, it's just...
We've got our fortunes.
Hm? What's going on, Toya? Is something wrong?
Not wrong, but... I was just thinking about the charms.
These charms?
I have to prepare myself mentally, you see.
It's obvious in retrospect, but in order to get to the United States, we'll have to fly in an airplane.
*Gasp*
Statistically, there's no safer mode of transport... But fear appears to be overpowering any sort of logic...
A-Aoyagi, you don't look so good...
W-well, it's normal to feel scared, since it's gonna take us up so high in the sky.
I know. What if we got some seats with no windows adjacent? That should help, right? And in the event you are assigned a window seat, I'll swap with you, Aoyagi!
Honestly, I wouldn't worry.
Remember what our fortunes said? They didn't say things would go wrong on our trip.
Yes, that's right...
See?! You'll be fine!
Anyway... Let's see what our fortunes have to say!
O-Okay. I hope we don't get anything bad.
What?! T-Terrible luck...?!
No way! You too, Kohane...?! That's also what I got...!
You've gotta be kidding me...
What are the odds of us both getting these...?
That means we're starting this year off in the worst way imaginable!
*Sob*
It even says “avoid if possible” in the Trip section...
Huh? What does mine say...? Ugh, it just says “wait”!
Frankly, that's almost impressively bad.
Still, they're just pieces of paper, so I really don't think you need to take them...
We should get ourselves some protective charms.
Huh...?
I might get one for warding off bad luck...
Oh, I'm thinking about getting one to boost my luck...
Y-You guys are taking this way too seriously...
