Hagumi
Brr~... It's so cold, Mii-kun...
Misaki
Well, yeah. It's winter... It kinda surprises me that you wouldn't be your upbeat self because of the cold, though.
Hagumi
I am, but... I get cold too, you know... I hope it at least snows soon...
Misaki
The temperature will drop some more if that happens though, won't it?
Hagumi
Yeah, but it's prettier and way more fun.
Misaki
I see what you're saying, but I guess I just don't enjoy the snow as much as you do.
Hagumi
Ah! Hey, Mii-kun, wanna go to a ski resort?
Misaki
Nope. Sure don't.
Hagumi
Why not?! I wanna ski and snowboard and stuff~!
Misaki
That's cool. I don't.
Hagumi
Why not~?!
Misaki
I'm... not sure how to answer that...
Hina
You guys are going to a ski resort?! Count me in!
Misaki
Hina-san?! You sure like to pop out of nowhere...
Hagumi
Whoa...! Hina-chan! Howdy~!
Hina
Howdy howdy~! It's been so long since I last went snowboarding! I can't wait! It's gonna be boppin'♪
Misaki
Whoa there, hold on a sec'. We're not going anywhere.
Hina
Huh? Why not? It sounds like fun, so we should go, right?
Hagumi
Exactly! I think so too!
Misaki
This isn't something that can be decided so easily. We all have plans and stuff going on, right?
Hagumi & Hina
Nope.
Misaki
U-uhm, uh...
Ako
Kukuku...
Misaki
...?!
Ako
The frozen goddess descends upon the frigid earth... M-may the banquet of... stuff... begin...
Misaki
And here comes another weirdo...
Hina
Howdy, Ako-chan!
Ako
Hello, Hina-chin! Hello, everyone! Sorry to barge in, but I wanna go skiing too!
Misaki
Sigh... Of course this is how things would turn out...
Hagumi
Yippee! With the four of us, we'll have a blast for sure!
Misaki
Are you kidding...? This group is definitely bad news...
Hina
What~? Okay, let's decide with a vote, then! Who wants to go to the ski resort!
Ako, Hagumi & Hina
Me~!
Hina
Then it's decided ♪
Misaki
Okay, okay, I get it. Calm down, all of you.
Hagumi
... You don't wanna go, Mii-kun?
Misaki
It's not that I don't want to...
Ako
Huh...? You really, actually don't wanna go...?
Misaki
Uhh, this is... the part where I end up going, isn't it...?
Ako, Hagumi & Hina
Please~?
Misaki
I... No... Uhm...
Ako, Hagumi & Hina
Please~??
Misaki
... Argh, alright, alright. I give up. I'll go.
Ako, Hagumi & Hina
Yay~!
Misaki
Sigh... It's not like I can really let the three of you go skiing alone anyway. Looks like I have no choice...
Hagumi
So when do we wanna go?! How about the Saturday coming up?!
Ako
That's okay with me!
Hina
Ah, hold on. Let me check my schedule... Yup! I'm good to go~♪
Misaki
I'm free too, I guess.
Hagumi
Alright, Saturday it is! We'll meet at the bus stop in front of the station!
Hina
Oh, that's right. Is it okay if I bring a friend along?
Ako
A friend? Who?
Hina
That... is a secret~♪
Hagumi
Oh~? Why's that?
Hina
Secrets are really boppin', aren't they? Now you have something else to look forward to when we meet up!
Misaki
A friend of Hina-san's...? That's not unsettling at all...
Transcript
Misaki
Sigh... It's been so long since I've snowboarded, but... I mean, we already decided to come, so let's have fun... Although, I'm not sure they'll agree with the normal definition of that word...
Hagumi
Mii-kun! Good morning~!
Misaki
Ah, yeah, okay. Morning. Cheerful as always, I see.
Hagumi
Of course! We're going somewhere with a ton of snow!
Misaki
There are so many things I should feel about that reasoning, but the fact you can find excitement out of that kinda makes me jealous actually.
Ako
Ah! Good morning, you two~!
Hagumi
Good morn', Ako-chin!
Ako
Fufufu... At last... The time has come for the icy silver dragon and the army of darkness to... to uhm, c-collaborate...
Hagumi
Hm? What's all that supposed to mean?
Hina
Ah! There they are! Hey~!
Hagumi
It's Hina-chan!
Maya
Good morning, everyone!
Misaki
Huh? Yamato-san?!
Maya
Okusawa-san! Nice to see you!
Ako
Oh! So Maya-chan was the friend you were talking about!
Hina
You betcha! When she screwed up at our recording session the other day, she said, "I want to go somewhere far away." You should have seen her face! So I figured she'd wanna come!
Misaki
Uhm... I have a feeling she meant something very different from what you're thinking, Hina-san...
Maya
Uhh... I'm not sure I follow. So, why was I invited here today?
Misaki
Huh...? Wait, she hasn't told you anything?
Maya
... Hm? Well, you see, yesterday...
Maya
Oh, a phone call... Hm? Hina-san.
Maya
Hello, this is Maya speaking. Is everything okay?
Hina
Hello? Hey~! Meet me at the bus stop in front of the station tomorrow morning at seven! And don't be late~!
Maya
Wh-what?! Uhm...!
Maya
... She hung up.
Maya
So I came here like she told must just in case... But honestly, I have no idea what's going on...
Misaki
... Sounds like Hina-san alright... I'm impressed you actually came...
Hagumi
Hey, look! The bus is here~!
Ako
Ah! You're right! We'll talk on the bus! Hurry!
Hina
Sounds good! Here we go~!
Maya
H-huh? A bus? W-wait, wha-
Misaki
Yamato-san, just forget it. Let's get on.
Maya
...?
Maya
H-huh?! Skiing? Snowboarding? But... I'm no good at sports like that...
Ako
What?! Really?!
Maya
Yeah... So I'll just be at the bottom of the hill making snowmen. You guys all have fun...
Misaki
W-wait a minute, Yamato-san... It's fine if it's your first time. Hagumi or I can teach you.
Hagumi
Yeah! Just leave it to me!
Maya
No, it's okay... I'll just get in the way of all your fun...
Misaki
No you won't! In fact, if you don't come, I'll have to deal with these three on my own...!
Hina
Hm? Did you say something, Misaki-chan?
Misaki
Nope! Nothing at all! N-not a word.
Maya
Hmm~... I don't know... I feel like I'll just be a nuisance...
Misaki
Seriously, don't worry about that! Please, I'm begging you. Come skiing with us. Please!
Hagumi
Ahahaha! Mii-kun, you must really like Maya-san!
Ako
Uhhh, we also don't have to ski right away, do we? There's an area to play in the snow at the resort. It might be nice to go there and get our feet wet first!
Maya
Oh? Does the resort really have something like that?
Hina
Ah, she's right. They even have it in this brochure!
Maya
Ooh~! I might be able to have some fun too, in that case!
Hagumi
Alrighty! Then the first thing we're doing when we get there is building a snowman!
Misaki
Nice, Hagumi! You came up with a great idea for once!
Hina
Woohoo! I wanna make a snowman!
Ako
Me too~!
Maya
Th-thanks everyone!
Maya
If it's making snowmen, I know I can be of osme use! I-I'll do my best!
Transcript
Ako
We're here~!
Hagumi
Whoa~! This is amazing! Everything's so white!
Hina
It's really pretty~!
Maya
Wow~... It's been so long since I've seen snow... I forgot how breathtaking it is.
Misaki
Yeah, no kidding... It's still a little cold for me though.
Maya
Hey, but taste that clean mountain air! Every breath of it is refreshing.
Misaki
Yeah. To be honest, I wasn't too excited about today, but now that I'm here, I think this might be okay.
Ako
Hey! Let's go to the play area! Come on, hurry!
Misaki
Alright, alright. C'mon, Yamato-san.
Maya
Okay! You know, I think I'm starting to get excited too!
Maya
So this is the play area...? Ah, you can even borrow tools to use in the snow.
Misaki
Looks like they have everything you need. Buckets, toy shovels... the works.
Ako
We're gonna make a snowman, right?! What kind should we make?
Hina
Let's do something awesome! Like one that moves on its own!
Misaki
There's no way to make that not sound ridiculous...
Hagumi
Ah! How about Michelle?! Let's make a snow Michelle!
Misaki
That does fall within the realm of reality... Isn't that pretty hard, though?
Maya
Ah, actually, that sounds doable. Michelle-san is mostly made up of round parts, so she might make for the perfect snowman...
Misaki
Wait, really?
Maya
If we break it up into parts, we should be able to pull it off...
Hagumi
Then let's do it! Where should I start, Maya-san?
Maya
Okay, Kitazawa-san and Ako-san, you make a big snowball and a slightly smaller snowball... Those will be her body and head!
Ako & Hagumi
Okay~!
Hina
What about me~?
Maya
Hina-san, you're in charge of the arms! Start making cylinder shapes using a bucket and some water, please~.
Hina
Arms, huh...? Wait, does she have claws?
Maya
W-we'll wory about detail work after we have the base done.
Hina
Hmm, okay. I'll get on it!
Misaki
... Yamato-san, you're amazing... You were able to deal with those three so efficiently...
Maya
H-huh?! No, I'm sure anyone could have done that...
Misaki
No, really. That was impressive. Ah, so what should I do?
Maya
Well, you're probably the most familiar with Michelle-san's smaller details, right? If you could make the smaller parts, that'd be pretty helpful.
Misaki
Oh, uhm, actually... Not really... I'm not that familiar with what she looks like... You know, since I'm always looking out from the inside...
Maya
O-oh, really? Then I guess we have a problem. If only we had Michelle-san here...
Black Suits
Okusawa-sama, please use this.
Maya, Misaki
Huh?
Maya
Th-that's...!
Misaki
It's Michelle... She's even got a new winter outfit.
Black Suits
Kokoro-sama expressed a desire to play in the snow with Michelle, so we had this insulated, water-proof prototype made for such an occasion. We would like for you to test it out.
Misaki
... Sure. Okay, got it.
Black Suits
Thank you for your cooperation.
Misaki
... Alright, looks like I'm gonna go get changed. Be right back.
Maya
Uhm, okay... That really surprised me. They just appeared out of nowhere... But you barely even flinched... That's pretty cool.
Misaki
Nah, I've just gotten used to it, I guess. Not really sure how to feel about that though...
Hagumi
Maya-san~! We're finished!
Maya
Okay! Put that smaller snowball on top of the bigger one, and then we'll pack snow where the two meet to smooth out the edges.
Ako
I-it's too heavy~! We can't do it ourselves!
Maya
Hang on, I'll help...! Okay, ready? Heave!
Hina
Maya-chan~! The arms are ready~! How do they look?
Maya
Great! Stick them on, and we'll use snow to attach them!
Hina
Okay~! Hiyah~!
Hagumi
Wow~! It's starting to look like Michelle! Maya-san, you're awesome! Super duper awesome!!
Ako
But, what now? What about the face and everything else?
Maya
Well~...
Misaki
Hello, everyone~!
Hagumi
Yay~! It's Michelle!!
Ako
What are you doing here, Michelle?!
Misaki
I heard you were making a snowman of me, so I came to help you all~!
Hagumi
I see... Alright! Let's finish it together!
Maya
Okay, Hina-san, I want you to make the eyes and the other parts of her costume using Michelle-san as a model.
Hina
Aye, aye, captain! So the eyes are like this... Here's the hat... Then the clothes♪
Misaki
(She's so fast! And it looks great, too! Hina-san, what are you?!)
Hina
All done~ ♪
Ako
Whoa! It looks just like her!
Hagumi
Oh~! It's like there are two Michelles here!
Misaki
(What the-?! It looks perfect! Is Hina-san actually... a genius?
Maya
Nice job, Hina-san! I knew you wouldn't let me down!
Hina
Right~? I think the face came out pretty good~!
Ako
Can I take a selfie and send it to Rin-rin?!
Hagumi
Ah! We should take a picture together then!
Hina
Oh, maybe I'll send a picture to my sister too~ ♪
Maya
Okay, let's do it! Everyone, gather round!
Ako
Let me just set the timer...
Ako
Here we go~!
Transcript
Hagumi
And with that, we've finished our snow Michelle... What's next?
Hina
Well, you can't have snow without a snowball fight, can you?!
Ako
Yeah, I'm in~!! I shall use my power of darkness, and... bam! Take you all down~!
Maya
A snowball fight, huh...? I'm not sure how good I'll be at that, but I'll give it a try!
Misaki
... A snowball fight? Wait, wearing this?
Hagumi
Okay, let's break up into teams!
Misaki
Oh... So I'm with these two...
Ako
Hina-chin! Michelle! Let's win this battle!
Hina
Three-on-two? We've got this in the bag!
Hagumi
Maya-san, let's do our best!
Maya
Okay! We may be at a disadvantage, but... we'll do everything we can!
Ako
Alright! Here I come! Take this~!
Hagumi
Wah~! That was close!
Maya
Kitazawa-san, they have a three-woman team. We'll never win by just going back and forth with them!
Hagumi
I know, but... what should we do?
Maya
I'll make the snowballs, so you just keep throwing them!
Hagumi
Mhm, gotcha! Here I go~! Hyaaa~!
Misaki
Oof!
Hagumi
There's more where that came from! Take this! And that! And some of these!
Hina
Ahaha! Hagumi-chan's snowballs sure move fast! This is so fun~!
Ako
Those look like they'd hurt if we got hit by any of them! No~!
Hina
I know! We might be safe if we hide behind Michelle~! Excuse us, Misaki-chan~♪
Misaki
No, wait. That's... pretty messed up, don't you think...?
Maya
Kitazawa-san, keep it up! I made a fort while they were distracted. We can use it for cover!
Hagumi
Oh! Nice work, Maya-san! Alright~, lemme at 'em!
Ako
Hina-chin! We can't lose to them! We have to keep going!
Hina
Take this!
Misaki
Oof!
Hagumi
Yahhh!
Misaki
Ngh!
Ako
Raaah!
Misaki
Ack!
Misaki
(Obviously, I'm getting hit by Hagumi. I get that part. But some of Hina-san and Ako's snowballs are definitely hitting me from behind, too...)
Misaki
(Well... I can feel the blows, but it's not like it hurts, and I'm not getting wet. Is that because of this new winter Michelle costume? You can say what you want, but the suits really are something...
Ako
Hey, Hina-chin, I was just thinking...
Hina
Hm? What is it?
Ako
How do you win a snowball fight?
Hina
Huh? Good question...
Ako
What...?! Hey, time out! How do you win a snowball fight?!
Hagumi
There's no winning or losing in a snowball fight~! It's just pure fun, so we're all winners~!
Maya
Ahaha! Such a Kitazawa-san way of looking at things!
Hina
Okay, can we stop soon then? My arms are getting tired~.
Ako
Alright, let's head to the slopes!
Maya
H-huh?!
Hagumi
Well, Maya-san? Are you feeling more comfortable in the snow now?
Maya
Ah, yes... The snow itself is no problem...
Hina
Okay, then let's go!
Maya
... Y-yeah! We came all the way here, so it'd be a waste to not at least try. Plus, I feel like I can do it since we'll be together. I'll do my best!
Ako
Wow, Maya-san! That was so cool!
Misaki
I can always help you learn too, so let's just give it a shot~.
Maya
Alright! I'll be counting on you guys!
Transcript
Hina
Oh man~! It's been so long since I've gone snowboarding!
Ako
Me too! Me too!
Maya
So you're all snowboarding? Should I do that too? I feel like skiing is a little less scary...
Misaki
Yeah, that's true. You can't really move your legs snowboarding, so it can be a bit more intimidating.
Hagumi
Plus your body is sideways while you're going down the hill. But with skiing, you face forward, so it feels a bit safer!
Ako
I'm definitely a ski person!
Hina
I can do both, so~... maybe I'll just change halfway through the day!
Maya
You always amaze me, Hina-san... Alright, I'll go with skiing!
Hagumi
Everybody ready?
The Other Four
Yeah~!
Hagumi
Okay~! Ski slopes, here we come!
Maya
U-uhm... I was able to get my skis on, but... How do I walk in these? I keep sliding backwards...
Hagumi
Oh, you just go like, grah ha ha ha!
Maya
H-huh?! What is "grah ha ha ha"...?
Hagumi
You know, grah ha ha ha! Maya-san, what you're doing is more of a whoosh~!
Maya
... I have no idea what you're talking about.
Ako
I think it's actually like, swoosh, swoosh!
Hina
No way, Ako-chan! Isn't it like, swish swish swish~?
Maya
Ngh... What is going on...?
Misaki
J-just point your toes outward so that the skis are facing diagonally. Then you can walk forward like that, a little bit at a time...
Maya
Okay, got it... Oh! You're right! I can definitely move like this!
Ako
Alright! To the lift, we go~!
Hagumi
Maya-san, we're about to get on!
Maya
Okay! I'm a little nervous, this being my first time and all, but I'm ready!
Hina
You sure about that, Maya-chan? The lift doesn't stop, so once the people in front of us get on, we gotta rush in and get on quickly. Like, swoosh, then bam!
Maya
... "Swoosh", then "bam"...? We're really just gonna get on while it's moving like this?
Ako
Yup! That's right!
Maya
Th-there's no way I can do that... Isn't there some way to slow it down, just a little bit...?
Hagumi
It's okay! Once you try it out, it's actually really easy! If you need me to, I can let you know the timing too!
Misaki
Uhm... if you're worried, you can just take off your skis and ride the lift that way, so~...
Maya
Wait, really?
Misaki
Yeah... Once you've done a bit of practice up there, I think you should be able to get on the lift, no problem.
Maya
That makes sense... Okay, I'll do that way for now. I'm sorry, Kitazawa-san. After you offered to help me and everything...
Hagumi
No problem! Either way's fine by me!
Ako
We're here~!
Maya
Th-this is the beginner's course? It seems pretty steep...
Hina
I think you'll see that it's not too bad once you try it out.
Hagumi
Yeah! You won't pick up too much speed either, so there's nothing to worry about!
Misaki
By the way... I know it's kinda late to be saying this, but I'm not sure I can even snowboard with this on...
Hina
As long as you can see what's in front of you, it's fine~♪
Misaki
I don't think it's that simple...
Ako
Come on! Let's go already~!
Maya
U-uhm... What should I do?
Hagumi
It's okay, Maya-san! We can slide down together!
Maya
O-okay! Lead the way!
Hagumi
You got it! When you start, first you wanna slide by going bahhh~!
Maya
Uhm, "bahhh~"? Okay... What about stopping?
Hagumi
Ah! You just gotta go skreee to stop!
Maya
Skreee...
Hagumi
Alrighty! Let's give it a shot!
Maya
Y-yeah...
Misaki
Y-Yamato-san, you alright? Your legs are shaking...
Maya
I-I'm fine! H-here I go!
Maya
Whoa~!!
Hagumi
Maya-san?!
Ako
Oh no~! ... Maya-san, are you hurt?!
Hina
Awesome, Maya-chan! How many spins was that? Was that a triple axel?!
Misaki
That was not "awesome"... Seriously, Yamato-san, are you okay?
Maya
Yeah... Somehow...
Hagumi
... I'm sorry... It's because I didn't explain it right...
Maya
N-no... It's not your fault. Sorry you had to teach me for nothing, but I can't seem to get the hang of the "skreee" part...
Misaki
What do you think? Should we walk down together?
Maya
No... That'd just be more of a burden to you all... I'll keep trying!
Ako
Really? Don't push yourself too much!
Hina
Yeah, there's no point if you end up getting hurt.
Maya
Ahahaha... You're right... I'll be more careful...
Hagumi
...
Transcript
Maya
Urgh... Skiing sure is hard... M-my legs feel so unstable- Uwah~! My skis fell off...!
Ako
Maya-san's down again!
Maya
Sigh...
Hagumi
... Uhm, Maya-san!
Maya
Yes?
Hagumi
T-try going hrmph!
Maya
... "Hrmph"?
Hagumi
Uhm, uhh... Like this. Bend your knees and crouch a little... Hrmph...
Maya
...? ... Ah! So lower my center of gravity!
Hagumi
Yeah, that's it! Probably!
Maya
Okay... Let's see... Oh, this feels a bit steadier!
Misaki
(Hagumi...?)
Maya
... Wh-whoa~!! Now I can't stop sliding!
Hagumi
If you wanna stop, go hup with your knees!
Maya
What?! "Hup"?!
Hagumi
Mhm! Bend your knees inward! Hup!
Maya
Hup! ... Ohh~! I did it, Kitazawa-san!
Ako
Wow, awesome~! Maya-san's skiing!
Hina
That's it, Maya-chan! You got this!
Misaki
Hagumi... She's actually trying to teach her... using actual words...
Maya
Kitazawa-san, what should I do to turn?!
Hagumi
Don't look at your feet! Face forward!
Maya
Face "forward"?!
Hagumi
Yeah! Uhm... Uhh, ah! Look in the direction you want to go!
Maya
Got it! The direction I want to go... The direction I want to go...
Misaki
Wow... She's turning...
Maya
I see... If you face the direction you want to go, your body naturally turns that way as well, causing you to turn... I think I'm starting to get it!
Hina
Oh~! Maya-chan's skiing! She's really skiing!
Ako
You're doing great! Keep doing that all the way to the bottom!
Maya
Alright! Here I go!
Ako
Wait for me~!
Hagumi
Ah! Hold on~! I'm going too~!
Misaki
Guess we should get going too, Hina-san.
Hina
Yup! It's been so long since I've done this! I'm so excited!
Hina
Maya-chan~! This way~!
Maya
R-right!
Hagumi
The hup part is right, but relax your body a little, like haaa~!
Maya
Haaa~...
Hagumi
Yeah! That's it! Perfect!
Ako
Maya-san! Just a little more!
Hagumi
And... goal~!
Maya
Phew~...
Ako
Nice job, Maya-san! Congratulations!
Misaki
Yamato-san, you hardly fell at all on the bottom half of the course.
Maya
Y-yeah! All thanks to Kitazawa-san!
Hagumi
I didn't do anything! That was all your doing, Maya-san!
Maya
No, I could only do it because took the time to teach me how. Thank you so much!
Hagumi
R-really?! Ehehe, I'm glad it made sense!
Hina
What do you think, Maya-chan? Wanna go down again?
Maya
I want to be able to ski down this course without falling!
Hagumi
Oh~! That's the spirit, Maya-san!
Maya
Alright! Today, I'm going to ski to my heart's content!
Ako
Me too! Me too! Let's keep going!
Hina
Okay, should we have a race next? Loser will be punished!
Misaki
Where'd that come from? Yet another crazy idea from Hina-san, huh?
Hagumi
Sounds like fun! I accept your challenge!
Maya
Wh-what?! I'm not ready to race yet~!
Transcript
Ako
Phew~... I'm beat! Today sure went by fast~!
Misaki
No kidding. We started skiing, and before I knew it, it was already time to go...
Hina
But it was totally worth it to see Maya-chan learn to ski!
Maya
Well, I still have a lot to learn, but... thanks to you all, I've gotten over hte idea that I might be bad at it!
Hagumi
Really?!
Maya
Really! And I want to keep coming back while everything is still fresh in my mind so that I won't forget what I learned!
Hagumi
Alright, then let's do this again sometime, Maya-san!
Hagumi
Of course! I would love it if you taught me more about skiing and snowboarding and stuff!
Hagumi
Okay! I'll do my best to answer any and all questions!
Hina
Hey, Misaki-chan~.
Misaki
What's up?
Hina
It's pretty rare to see Maya-chan this excited about physical activity, you know.
Misaki
Oh? Really?
Ako
So Maya-san isn't like this with Pastel✽Palettes?
Hina
Well, she is, but... I guess she's a bit more of the brainy type.
Misaki
Brainy, huh...? I mean, yeah. I can see that.
Ako
How is everything in Pastel✽Palettes going anyways?
Hina
Everyone always has their own opinions, which keeps things interesting! And we're doing lots of shows, and we get to do so many things. So I'd say I'm having a lot of fun.
Misaki
Aya-senpai is your band leader, right?
Hina
Hmm... Maybe? She doesn't really seem like a leader though.
Ako
Ahaha, really? She's still really cute!
Hina
I think she's more interesting than she is cute!
Misaki
... Now that I think about it, we don't really know much about each other's bands.
Hina
Hmm... I get the feeling Roselia is exactly as I picture it.
Misaki
Really? What do you think Roselia is like?
Hina
I got the feeling they were really stressed out in the beginning, but lately, that doesn't seem to be the case. That's the impression I get watching my sister, anyway.
Ako
Our practices are pretty tough, but we're not stressed at all!
Misaki
Ah, so your practices really are strict...
Ako
Yup! How else are we going to be the best band in the world?!
Misaki
Whoa... What an ambitious bunch...
Hina
Oh, hey! What's Sis like when she's with Roselia?
Ako
Sayo-san always plays perfectly! She pretty much never makes a mistake, almost like a teacher!
Ako
But lately, it's like she's gotten even cooler somehow! Like, she still plays perfectly, but there's something more now...
Hina
Wow~! I see!
Misaki
Sayo-senpai does have a really serious air about her. Is she like that at home too?
Hina
No, she's not... Well, sometimes she can be a bit strict, but she's always super nice!
Misaki
Huh... I can't even imagine... Oh, wait. That's rude, isn't it...?
Ako
What's Hello, Happy World! like?
Misaki
Well, we have a lot of troublemakers, so... it's mostly just me and Kanon-san being dragged along.
Hina
Yeah, everyone in Hello, Happy World! seems super interesting. Like a topsy-turvy bunch!
Misaki
What the heck is that supposed to mean...? Oh, but today, Hagumi was a little different than how she usually is.
Ako
Oh? What do you mean?
Misaki
Hagumi's the type that speaks with actions, not words, right? But today, when she was teaching Yamato-san to ski, she really pushed herself.
Misaki
It looked like she really wanted to make sure Yamato-san understood what she was saying...
Hina
Yeah? I think it worked. Maya-chan was able to ski pretty well after Hagumi-chan showed her how.
Misaki
Maybe I only noticed because we're together so often, being in the same band and all, but I felt like she was a bit more mature than usual... Something like that.
Ako
Oh~, did you hear that, Hagumi? Misaki's really praising you over here~ ♪
Misaki
H-hey! I am not...
Hagumi
...
Misaki
... Hagumi?
Hagumi
...
Ako
... She's asleep?
Maya
... Mmm...
Hina
Ah, Maya-chan's asleep too.
Misaki
Looks like trying new things really tired those two out.
Hina
Perfect! Why don't we take this chance to doodle all over their faces?
Ako
Great idea, Hina-chin! I'm gonna draw something super cool!
Misaki
No no no, let's just leave them be. Okay?
Ako & Hina
Aww~...
Misaki
... Good work today, you two.
