Sakuya	It's done!
Misumi	Sakuya, you can remove your blindfold now~.
Sakuya	Ah, the eyes are off.
Misumi	Hmmm, I am officially certifying him as Sun Triangle-kun!
Izumi	What are you doing....?
Sakuya	Ah, director!
Misumi	Director-sa~n!
Izumi	So you're playing Fukuwarai. It looks really fun.
Sakuya	Yes. I was thinking of borrowing it from Misumi-san.
Izumi	Borrowing it?
Sakuya	I am organizing a New Year's event for the nursery. I want the kids to experience playing various Japanese traditional games.
Izumi	Heh, sounds fun!
Sakuya	Misumi-san chipped in when I told him I'm looking for traditional toys.
	He lent me Sankaku-kun Fukuwarai, feathers, boards, and other materials Summer Troupe used to play with.
	Everyone also gave me permission through LIME.
Misumi	Right~?
	No one really said no, right?
Sakuya	Yes! I got a go signal as soon as I sent my message.
	However, I want a little more materials if possible.
	Of course, this is more than enough but I want them to experience playing various kinds of games.
Izumi	I see.
	Me too. If I have something you need, I'd be happy to lend it to you.
Sakuya	Thank you very much!
	By the way, director. Are you looking for something?
Izumi	Ah, yes. I am cleaning the theater right now but there are places which are too high for me to reach---
	*LIME Notification*
Misumi	Ah, it's from Sakyo!
Sakuya	I received it too. It's a message for all company members, isn't it?
Misumi	Hmmm...." Go and buy New Year's lucky bags," he said.
Izumi	(Sakyo-san is as opportunistic as ever)
Sakuya	Spring troupe is in charge of lucky bags for the kitchen.
	...I wonder if everyone is at home on this day.
Misumi	Hey, hey, director-san. Somehow, Sakuya looks super happy.
Izumi	Fufu, you're right. I wonder if it's because the Spring Troupe will be able to gather again.
Misumi	Me too! I'm super excited to see Summer Troupe again! I hope they come back soon~.

Itaru	We're currently in the middle of a quest to clear Sakyo-san's mission but....
Chikage	It's way too crowded here.
Citron	I'm going to get gloss!
Tsuzuru	You mean, 'lost'. Citron-san, you are the type to go off all over the place on your own. Please be careful.
Itaru	I feel like I'll never see you again for the rest of our lives if you get lost in here.
Citron	I don't want it! I don't want to be separated from everyone forever!
Masumi	You're overreacting.
Sakuya	All the people gathering around are customers who are aiming for a lucky bag....
Itaru	I don't think I can survive this....
Tsuzuru	Should we head to different stores for now?
Sakuya	Shall we gather here again after buying?
Tsuzuru	Yeah, let's do that.
Citron	OK! I am full of floating spirit!
Masumi	Fighting spirit.
Itaru	....Everyone, let's survive and meet again.
Chikage	Chigasaki, you're raising your own death flag, you know.
Sakuya	Everyone, let's do our best!
Sakuya	Uhh, where's the lucky bag for cleaning supplies....
	(.....Found it. It's over there)
Shopkeeper	Thank you for the wait-! The lucky bags are now available for sale!
Sakuya	Uwah!
	( U-unbelievable--.... Such a huge mountain of people!)
	W-what should I do...I can't reach it...!
Old Woman A	Sakuya-kun?
Old Woman B	Arara, Sakuya-kun, are you looking for this lucky bag?
Old Woman C	Here, take this.
Sakuya	Is it really okay for me to take this?
Old Woman A	It's okay~.
Old Woman B	You have always been so helpful to us!
Old Woman C	Come and visit the store again~!
Sakuya	Thank you very much!
	( Thank goodness....! I was able to buy the lucky bag I need. )
Citron	Oh! Sakuya, you came back safe!
Chikage	Looks like Sakuya was able to secure a lucky bag.
Sakuya	Chikage-san, were you able to buy yours too?
Chikage	Needless to say.
Sakuya	That's amazing....! I almost missed buying it but people from the shopping district helped me.
Citron	I also got mine from a madam!
	I shall go back and properly thank them next time!
Chikage	To win this battle, the cooperation of the ladies who have a great deal of experience is indispensable.
Sakuya	Everyone was able to secure their lucky bags, right?
Chikage	No....Two people couldn't buy it.
Sakuya	Eh?
Tsuzuru	I underestimated the New Year's Sale battle......
Itaru	To think that Sakyo-san sent me in the middle of a war...
Citron	You two are so spineless!
Itaru	I did everything I could to survive....
Tsuzuru	Furuichi-san might snap on us if we go home empty-handed....
Sakuya	I-it's going to be alright.
	I'm sure Sakyo-san will understand the situation.
Citron	Right! I'm sure Sakyo is expecting about half of our troupe to get a lucky bag!
Itaru	Half huh. It's not making me feel better at all.....
Sakuya	Huh? Speaking of, where is Masumi?
Masumi	.....
Sakuya	That bag....Masumi got a bag too!
Masumi	.....Yeah.
Tsuzuru	The lucky bag assigned to Masumi is the same-day lottery sale.
Chikage	You did great. Isn't the win-loss ratio terrible?
Masumi	The person who won it gave it to me.
	They said I can have it because I am handsome.
Itaru	I don't get it.
Chikage	Well, Chigasaki was dispatched in a place where women send the guys from their team.
Itaru	Damn it.... This may be self-proclaimed but I'll probably get a chance too if I was dispatched to Masumi's place--
Masumi	Your everyday behavior is terrible. Don't even think about it.
Itaru	How rude...
Sakuya	Ahaha...We already have our lucky bags. Let's go back to the dormitory soon.

Sakuya	We're home.
Sakyo	Welcome. So everyone secured their lucky bags except for Chigasaki and Minagi.
Tsuzuru	I'm sorry....I underestimated the New Year sale battle.
Sakyo	Well, you're good if you could buy more than half.
Itaru	Sakyo-san is showing his rare kindness for once. It's almost like a New Year's gift~
Sakyo	I have zero expectations from you in the first place.
Citron	You see!
Itaru	Seriously....
Izumi	Ah, welcome back, everyone. How did it go?
Chikage	The battle results are acceptable.
Sakuya	Director, you went for a quick shopping trip too, right? Did you find what you were looking for?
Izumi	I did!
	I ended up buying stuff I don't need though...
Citron	Let's open the lucky bags right away!
	I am excited to see what's inside!
Sakuya	Right? I'm a little nervous too.
Citron	I shall open my bag first!
	Ohh! There are several plates and cups inside!
Izumi	Citron-kun got the lucky bag for tableware.
Sakyo	We can now replace the missing cups and plates with this.
Chikage	Looks like I got the lucky bag for condiments.
Itaru	What's that paper?
Chikage	You can exchange it for the ingredients listed if you take it to the store.
Tsuzuru	Heh...Eh? You can exchange ingredients for something like this!?
	I-it's definitely a good deal....
Citron	What is inside Masumi's bag!?
Masumi	It has a kettle and various cooking utensils.
Izumi	Masumi-kun's lucky bag is luxurious!
Masumi	Lottery lucky bags sure live up to one's expectations. I got it especially for director.
Sakyo	I am the one who issued the directive though.
Izumi	Haha......
	What's inside Sakuya-kun's bag?
Sakuya	Mine is.....a combination of cleaning goods and kitchen tools.
Tsuzuru	A grill brush for baking soda cleaning.
Sakuya	....Ah!
Izumi	What is it?
Sakuya	There's a handy mop in it.
Itaru	Is it considered a kitchen tool?
Sakyo	They must've stuffed unsold cleaning equipment along with it.
Sakuya	Umm....
	Director, please take this.
Izumi	Eh? Me?
Sakuya	You said there are places which are too high for you to reach when cleaning.
	This mop has an extendable handle. I think you'll be able to reach high places easier using this!
CHOICE 1: "This is exactly what I want!" [+] Izumi This is exactly what I want! I can finally clean areas thoroughly...! Thank you, Sakuya-kun! Sakuya I am glad there are useful goods for director inside the bag. It's all thanks to the people in the shopping district who helped me get it.
CHOICE 2: "It seems really convenient" [+] Izumi It seems really convenient. Sakuya The theater has lots of high places to clean. Izumi Yup. With this mop, I'll be able to make nooks and crannies sparkling clean! Sakuya I'm happy you are pleased with it. But it's dangerous to climb up extremely high areas. Please don't overdo it and ask us instead! Izumi Thank you. Fufu, I'll ask for help.
Izumi	Speaking of, I saw this while shopping earlier.
	It reminded me of Sakuya-kun.
Sakuya	Director, this is....!
Izumi	It's a lucky bag for traditional toys.
	I couldn't help myself and ended up buying it.
Sakuya	Menko, ohajiki, kendama....
	There's a bunch of nostalgic toys inside!
Izumi	I thought you could use it for the New Year's event you told me about.
Sakuya	But, you don't have to go that far.....
Izumi	I bought it on my own accord. Please don't worry about it.
	Ah, Just think of it as a thank you for this mop.
Sakuya	But it's too much for me...
Izumi	Then how about making it an item for the dorm?
Sakuya	Well that's.....
Izumi	That settles it!
Sakuya	Thank you very much!
Izumi	I hope everyone will have fun at the nursery's New Year's event!
Sakuya	Yes!
