Kumon & Azami Talk

Azami	So they’re even doing a Toshi no Ichi^[1] here, huh. Rather, has it always been like this?
Kumon	Not only do they have sales, but they also have stalls! The name too, it became a festival instead of a market.
	Ah, Azami, look! They’re doing Hanetsuki^[2]!
	“Hagoita Game”...is what’s written.
Azami	Huh… There’re stalls like this too?
Kumon	Depending on how many times you can hit the shuttlecock, you'll be receiving a somewhat fancy prize! What do they mean by a fancy prize? Could it be a trip!?
Azami	Is there even a prize like that for festival stalls…?
Kumon	I dunno! Maybe we can win it! And then we can go together!
	Hey hey, Azami! Let’s try it!
Azami	...Well, I guess it’s fine to do something like this once in a while. Since I’m doing it, I’ll make sure to win.
Kumon	Alright! On to the match!

↑ Toshi no Ichi are Year End markets.
↑ Hanetsuki is a Japanese traditional game often played during New Year. It is similar to badminton without a net as you hit the hane(shuttlecock) with a hagoita(wooden paddle).
