(title Bad Rumor)
*
So what are you two doing on this side road during New Years day?
Fighting the cold?
We are planning on visiting a shrine with Miri.
Miri said that she was going to change into some nice clothes so we are waiting for her.
This is her house right here.
*
What? This is it?
Its small!
Hey saying it like that is a little rude.
*
But I thought it would be a traditional Japanese house with men in black suits standing in front of the entrance gate.(Like a Yakuza boss's house)
*
(title Seven-Five meter)
*
Thanks for waiting
Oh, Miri.
How is it? I don't look weird in it right?
*
Wow you look great in it!
Sure do.
But this isn't quite suited for visiting a shrine...
*
Its like 7-5!
*
You know 7-5-7 like a poem song or a haiku!
No way you are way off.
*

(title Insticnt)
*
Oh Akagi-san is here?
Oh we just bumped into her.
Lets go to the shrine together.
Huh?
*
Well I don't really have plans for this afternoon so I guess its fine
Akagi san
*
Last year lots of things happened.
Lets have another good year together.
Huh?
(bubble lots of things happened?)
*
Oh yeah lets have a good new year.
She just unconsciously got defensive.
*
(title smiling face)
*
Oh hey, Miri!
You forgot your handbag!
*
Oh is that Miri's older brother?
Oh sorry.
Its cold so bring your scarf too.
No its her younger brother, Yuu-kun.
*
Oh hello everyone.
“nico” smile sound
Please have a wonderful new year
*
There is no way he is her younger brother, what is those two's relationship?
No he really is her younger brother.
*
058
(title who's talking?)
*
Here I'll attach your scarf for you.
Oh thanks
*
Its really slippery so watch your step.
Ok, got it.
Make sure to come home before it gets too late.
*
Ok everyone, please keep an eye on my sister.
Sure.
*
Your brother sure does a lot for you.
You think so?
I think he still has a lot to learn.
*
(title Children's mentality)
*
Well its about time we get going.
Oh, its a snow man.
*
When small children see snow they can't help but make a snow man.
Its kind of mysterious.
*
But the snow the kids make are just terrible.
I could do so much better.
Ha ha ha
*
Actually that last one was the one Miri made.
What?
*

(title A Cursing Spirt)
*
Those in the know come to this exceptional shrine to renew their spiritual blessings.
For “those in the know” there sure are a lot of people here.
*
Is there a reason why this place is so special?
Of course, the story that I heard was
Students who fail the college entrance exam and have one last shot come here.
*
They pray “Please help me pass the test, even if it costs me my life!”
And that year the pass the test at the school they want with flying colors.
*
Their happiness is however cut off by a heart attack.
That's not worth it!
*
(title Instant Effect)
*
I have come all this way, I hope my wish comes true.
Well then I ask that thou once again watch over everyone this year.
*
Huh? What's that?
“zawa” crowd talking
I feel like people are starring at me.
*
Oh Akagi I just noticed something.
Oh? What?
*
Your skirt is stuck on your jacket.
WHAT!?
*

(title The Best Wish)
*
On that note, is there a limit of things you can wish for?
If you squeezed them all in, wouldn't it have the same effect?
*
My wish
I want to have a dog?
I want my grades to improve?
I want Miyorin's school uniform?
*
No that's not it
My best wish is
*
That
“pan pan” ringing of bell
I want to get taller.
*
(title Prevention)
*
Miri, are you done with your prayer?
Yeah, I'm all done.
Well then I will make a quick prayer.
*
Please help Miri to always be healthy.
*
Please keep her small and cute
and don't let her grow.
*
Uah!
“doka”
