| Citron | How was everyone’s first dream of the year ne? |
| Guy | I, unfortunately, don’t recall mine. |
| Tsumugi | Me neither. |
| Izumi | I heard that the hatsuyume[1] doesn’t have to be on the night of New Year’s. |
| Guy | Is that so. In that case, I may still have a chance. |
| Tsumugi | Has Citron-kun already dreamed his first dream? |
| Citron | Yes! I’ve already seen it dayo! |
| I ate sweet shrimp until I was full! I was very happy dayo. | |
| Izumi | Fufu, I’m glad you enjoyed the dream at least. |
| Citron | I want to eat sweet shrimp now! Guy, let’s go to a sushi restaurant now! |
| Guy | Understood. |
| Citron | We’ll get canned sushi for Director and Tsumugi ne! |
| Tsumugi | I wonder if they have orizume[2]. Thank you, I’ll look forward to it. |
| Izumi | Take care! |
| *door closes* | |
| Tsumugi | By the way, how was your first dream, Director? |
| Izumi | Actually, I haven’t had mine yet either. I hope we all have a good hatsuyume! |
| Tsumugi | This year, I want to dream of the three auspicious subjects: Mount Fuji, a hawk, and an eggplant.[3] |
| Izumi | I also want to see them. It seems difficult to dream all three though… |
| Tsumugi | Yeah… You can’t choose what you dream. But I want to see it one day. |
| …Ah, I have to leave soon. | |
| Izumi | That’s right, you’re meeting with Banri-kun soon at a cafe, aren’t you? |
| Tsumugi | Yes. I need some good coffee. |
| Izumi | Tsumugi-san and Banri-kun really like going to cafes, huh. |
| Tsumugi | We do, and it doesn’t look like that’s changing this year. Well, it’s time to go. |
| Izumi | Take care! |

| Tsumugi | (…Banri-kun hasn’t arrived yet it seems.) |
BANRI.  My bad, gonna be late. Go ahead and order something. |
|
Tsumugi Tsukioka  Got it. Stay safe. |
|
| Tsumugi | Excuse me, may I order one hot coffee? |
| …Fuu, it’s good. | |
| (Ah hot… It was pretty cold outside. Good thing the heater’s working in here—) | |
| (Actually, I’m getting a bit sleepy…) | |
| File:Tsumugi MANKAI☆New Year Backstage 1-03.png | |
| Tsumugi | Huh… |
| …Eh, Mount Fuji!? | |
| I’m not at the cafe anymore, why am I here suddenly? | |
| File:Tsumugi MANKAI☆New Year Backstage 1-04.png | |
| Guy? | Fuji looks good this year. |
| Tsumugi | Guy-san’s here too? And, what’s with that look… |
| Guy? | Guy…? Who is that? I’m a hawk. Are you mistaking me for another bird? |
| Tsumugi | Hawk…? |
| (Honestly, he doesn’t really look like a hawk…) | |
| File:Tsumugi MANKAI☆New Year Backstage 1-05.png | |
| Kamekichi? | What are you talking about? I’m the hawk here! |
| File:Tsumugi MANKAI☆New Year Backstage 1-06.png | |
| Homare? | No no, I’m the hawk! Look at my magnificent feathers! |
| File:Tsumugi MANKAI☆New Year Backstage 1-07.png | |
| Azami? | Hah? Obviously, I’m the hawk. |
| File:Tsumugi MANKAI☆New Year Backstage 1-08.png | |
| Citron? | I’m the hawk dayo~! |
| Tsumugi | What is going on with everyone…? |
| File:Tsumugi MANKAI☆New Year Backstage 1-09.png | |
| Banri? | Nah, the only hawk here is me. |
| Tsumugi | Is… That’s Banri-kun’s voice. |
| Banri? | Who’s that? I’ve already said I’m a hawk. |
| Tsumugi | R-right… |
| (Banri-kun doesn’t look like a hawk either… Is it because I don’t know what a hawk looks like.) | |
| File:Tsumugi MANKAI☆New Year Backstage 2-01.png | |
| Tsumugi | (Anyway… No one’s really a hawk. Wait, Mount Fuji and a hawk, it’s like the three auspicious subjects for good luck.) |
| (I hope the eggplant will appear afterwards…) | |
| Kamekichi? | Cut it out! I’m the real hawk! |
| Citron? | I’m the hawk dayo! Look at the feathers on my head ne! |
| Guy? | No, I am the hawk. |
| Homare? | The hawk is me. Isn’t the tail proof of me being the hawk? |
| Azami? | If that’s the case, then I’m the hawk. |
| Banri? | Hah? None of y’all are hawks. No matter how you see it, I’m the hawk. |
| Azami? | Huh? That doesn’t make any sense. |
| Banri? | Haah? |
| Tsumugi | (Th-this’ll turn into a fight if I don’t do something. I have to stop them…!) |
| Uh, everyone, let’s calm down a bit… | |
| Guy? | Hm? |
| Azami? | Who are you? |
| Kamekichi? | You’re not gonna say you’re a hawk too, are ya!? |
| Tsumugi | N-no, not a hawk, just a passer-by… I’m Tsumugi Tsukioka. |
| Homare? | You’re not a bird? |
| Citron? | That’s it ne! Tsumugi will choose who’s the real hawk dayo! |
| Tsumugi | M-me? |
| Guy? | I see. I agree. |
| Banri? | It’s alright, isn’t it? |
| Azami? | Sure. |
| Homare? | Since we’re all in agreement, decide! |
| Tsumugi | Uum… |
| Kamekichi? | Oi, hurry it up! |
| Tsumugi | … I don’t think anyone’s a hawk. |
| Azami? | !? |
| Banri? | Hah? |
| Guy? | I… what? |
| Kamekichi? | I-I’m not a hawk…!? |
| Homare? | I can’t believe it. My identity…! |
| Citron? | Oh! I can’t recover from this dayo… |
| Tsumugi | (Huh!? Maybe I said something I shouldn’t have…!) |
| J-just kidding! I think everyone’s a hawk! | |
| Guy? | …So I am a hawk after all. |
| Homare? | I knew it! |
| Azami? | I figured I was one. |
| Citron? | Oh, I’m a hawk ne! |
| Kamekichi? | Saying I wasn’t one was a bad joke! |
| Tsumugi | (Well, I’m glad everyone’s happy about it…) |
| Banri? | Thanks for saying I’m a hawk, Tsumugi-san! |
| Tsumugi | You’re welcome. Your grip on my shoulder’s a little strong… |
| Banri? | Really, thank you! Tsumugi-san, Tsumugi-san! |
| Tsumugi | Okay okay, Banri-kun. You can stop shaking my shoulder so much—. |
| File:Tsumugi MANKAI☆New Year Backstage 2-02.png | |
| Banri | … Tsumugi-san, Tsumugi-san. |
| Tsumugi | Huh… Banri-kun? |
| Banri | Ah, you’re up. When I came, you were asleep. I was surprised. |
| Tsumugi | Sorry. It was really warm here and I got sleepy, I guess. |
| (So, it was a dream… Then, that was my first dream of the year.) | |
| Huh? Banri-kun, that thing in your hand, is it eggplant? | |
| Banri | How did you… This bag isn’t even see-through. Yeah, I had this bag while coming over. |
| I feel bad for being late and making Tsumugi-san wait because on the way, I was asked to buy this. | |
| Tsumugi | Hmm, I see…. Sorry. |
| Banri | Huh? Why are you apologizing? Did something happen? |
| Tsumugi | Ah, no! Don’t worry, it’s nothing. |
| Banri | Hmm…? If you say so. |
| Tsumugi | Banri-kun, you haven’t ordered anything yet, right? Here, the menu. |
| Banri | Ah, thanks. Let’s see… |
| Tsumugi | (Mount Fuji and a hawk this year? But I didn’t dream of eggplant too…) |
| (Next year, I hope I get all three.) | |
