[03:21] Mako
    Hello!
[03:23] clerk
    Oh, you're from the Food
    Culture Research Club.
[03:25] Mako
    Sorry to bother you for the
    club room key on New Year's Eve.
[03:29] clerk
    It's fine. That said, I agreed to lend it to
    you on the grounds that you'd be cleaning,
[03:33] clerk
    so please clean it well.
[03:34] Mako
    W-We will!
[03:37] clerk
    Are those cooking ingredients?
[03:39] Mako
    Yes. I thought we could all eat together
    once we were done cleaning.
[03:42] clerk
    You'll have a hard time cooking
    outside in this cold weather.
[03:46] clerk
    If you have an induction cooker,
    you can use that inside.
[03:48] Mako
    Great! We actually just got a
    portable one for the club room.
[03:52] clerk
    That's good. Don't get too rowdy just
    because it's New Year's Eve, now.
[03:56] Mako
    Understood!
[03:57] clerk
    Well, take care.
[03:59] Mako
    Thanks for everything!
[04:03] clerk
    Oh, that's right.
[04:06] clerk
    Have a happy new year.
[04:08] Mako
    Thank you! I hope you have
    a happy new year, too!
[04:13] Mako
    Sorry, did I keep you waiting?
[04:15] Tsutsuji
    We all just got here.
[04:17] Kurea
    Thanks for taking care of the groceries!
[04:19] Nana
    Good work, Makocchan!
[04:21] Mako
    Thanks.
[04:23] Shinon
    I've called you all here today so that we can
    give our club room a thorough cleaning.
[04:28] Shinon
    But if I may speak frankly...
[04:30] Shinon
    I don't want to clean.
[04:33] Shinon
    To be honest, I'd like nothing more than to
    sit back eating snacks while you handle it.
[04:38] Tsutsuji
    That's a little too honest.
[04:40] Shinon
    However!
[04:41] Shinon
    I know that if I said that out loud,
    you'd all get mad! So clean I shall!
[04:45] Shinon
    Let's give it all we've got!
[04:47] Kurea
    You did say it out loud.
[04:48] Nana
    Yes, she did.
[04:49] Mako
    She sure did.
[04:52] Kurea
    Well, why don't we start by taking out
    anything that could get in the way?
[04:55] everyone
    Okay.
[04:58] Kurea
    There.
[05:00] Shinon
    Can I put this here, too?
[05:02] Kurea
    Okay.
[05:09] Mako
    This is the walking stick that
    Shinon-chan bought at Mt. Takao.
[05:12] Mako
    That brings back memories.
[05:16] Mako; internal
    The refrigerator, the furniture...
[05:18] Mako; internal
    Shinon-chan and Tsutsuji-chan sure
    helped us out by finding lots of stuff.
[05:22] Mako; internal
    Standing here like this is reminding me
    of the first time we cleaned this room.
[05:40] Mako
    No, no.
[05:41] Mako
    Cleaning first, reminiscing later.
[05:45] Mako
    Shinon-chan, this is...
[05:47] Shinon
    Oh, that brings back memories!
[05:49] Nana
    Hmm...
[05:51] Nana
    What should we do with this?
    Air it out in the sun?
[05:55] Tsutsuji
    Oh, just a moment, please.
[06:01] Tsutsuji
    This is how you wash the sheep.
[06:04] Nana
    Ah!
[06:06] Nana
    Come to think of it, I wore a mascot
    costume during the festival,
[06:10] Nana
    but maybe I could've used this instead.
[06:11] Tsutsuji
    Wanna try wearing it next year, then?
[06:14] Tsutsuji
    Or even now, for a little bit?
[06:16] Nana
    I do, I do!
[06:18] Shinon
    There! I think we've moved most
    of the big stuff out of the way.
[06:24] Shinon
    Whoa, what's that?
[06:26] Tsutsuji
    We were thinking she could use this
    as her costume for next year's festival.
[06:30] Shinon
    Please don't.
[06:40] Shinon
    Who dropped a plastic bottle cap here?
[06:44] Shinon
    Nana, Tsutsuji!
[06:56] Shinon
    Here goes the first pitch!
[07:04] Kurea
    You know what I'm going to say, don't you?
[07:07] Shinon; Tsutsuji; Nana
    Yes, ma'am.
[07:08] Mako; internal
    I feel like I've seen this before.
[07:16] Shinon
    Cleaning's all done!
[07:18] Nana
    And somehow we have a kotatsu now.
[07:20] Kurea
    The table was actually a kotatsu all along.
[07:23] Kurea
    I just brought a blanket so we can use it.
[07:25] Tsutsuji
    Ooh, good job.
[07:30] Shinon
    Come on, everyone! Hurry up and get in!
[07:37] Nana
    It's so toasty.
[07:40] Shinon
    Oh, Makocchi!
[07:42] Shinon
    Could you grab that bag behind you?
[07:44] Mako
    What, this?
[07:46] Shinon
    Yeah.
[07:47] Mako
    Here.
[07:47] Shinon
    Thank you.
[07:51] Tsutsuji
    A corkboard?
[07:53] Shinon
    That's right!
[07:54] Shinon
    I got prints of all the pictures
    we've taken so far,
[07:56] Shinon
    and I was thinking we could
    display them on this.
[07:59] Kurea
    Oh, sounds good!
[08:01] Mako
    Just like a real club!
[08:02] Nana
    Oh, that's right!
[08:09] Nana
    Let's use these to write
    messages on the photos!
[08:11] Mako
    Oh, I like that idea!
[08:13] Kurea
    Okay!
[08:21] Kurea
    This photo really brings back memories!
[08:23] Shinon
    Which one? Let me see!
[08:24] Shinon
    Oh, the Ferris wheel!
    I want to ride that again sometime.
[08:27] Nana
    I know, right?
SIGN    Pizza at our club camp!
[08:34] Mako
    There!
[08:36] Tsutsuji
    Stare.
[08:38] Mako
    Wh-What is it, Tsutsuji-chan?
[08:40] Tsutsuji
    Oh, it's nothing.
[08:42] Tsutsuji
    Just that when I compare the early
    photos of you with more recent ones,
[08:45] Tsutsuji
    your expression seems a lot more relaxed now.
[08:49] Mako
    What?
[08:50] Mako
    Don't look so closely! It's embarrassing!
[08:54] Tsutsuji
    Mwah-ha-ha. It's too late for that now.
[08:56] Kurea
    It's nothing to be embarrassed about. It just
    shows that you've gotten comfortable here.
[09:01] Nana
    I'm glad I got comfortable
    with Makocchan, too.
[09:04] Tsutsuji
    When you first came to the club,
    you were frozen with fear.
[09:07] Nana
    Yeah, my heart was pounding
    so hard that day.
[09:10] Nana
    And to top it off, Makocchan started yelling
    about flying takoyaki all of a sudden.
[09:14] Mako
    Please don't bring that up now, Nana-chan!
[09:24] Shinon
    There! It's done!
[09:26] Nana
    It looks great!
[09:28] Shinon
    Now, let's all get back under
    the kotatsu and play cards!
[09:31] Mako
    I should've brought some mandarins.
[09:33] Kurea
    Huh?
SIGN    Suffer!!
[09:34] Kurea
    Hey, someone made a mistake
    with the writing on this one.
[09:38] Tsutsuji
    The kanji for "happiness" was
    written as "suffering" instead.
[09:42] Nana
    You're right! Who wrote that?
[09:45] Shinon
    Sheesh. Would it kill you guys to treat
    our precious memories with more—
SIGN    shinon
[09:49] Shinon
    It was me.
[10:03] Nana
    A kotatsu is a dangerous thing.
[10:05] Kurea
    It's the spell of the kotatsu.
[10:08] Tsutsuji
    It makes you just laze around forever.
[10:14] Mako
    I'm getting kinda hungry, though.
[10:17] Shinon
    Makocchi, what are you making today?
[10:21] Mako
    Soba noodles and rolled sushi.
[10:25] Shinon
    Sounds good.
[10:51] Kurea
    No, no! We have to cook!
[10:56] Kurea
    At this rate, the new year will pass us by!
[11:07] Kurea
    Zombies. I see zombies.
[11:12] Nana
    That's freezing!
[11:14] Nana
    It's cold! So cold!
[11:17] Tsutsuji
    I've lit a fire in this coal brazier,
[11:19] Tsutsuji
    so when you're done with that,
    come and get warmed up.
[11:22] Nana
    I'll be right there.
[11:26] Tsutsuji
    If there's a fire to be started,
    just leave it to me.
[11:28] Shinon
    I'm impressed, Sensei.
[11:37] Kurea
    All right. Shall we get started?
[11:40] Mako
    Okay!
[11:41] Mako; internal
    First, make the stock for the soba broth.
[11:45] Mako; internal
    Take the kelp out before it comes to a boil,
[11:47] Mako; internal
    add shredded bonito and dried shiitake
    mushroom, and then simmer for five minutes.
[11:53] Mako; internal
    While waiting, slice up the ingredients
    for the hand-rolled sushi.
[12:00] Mako; internal
    Allow the stock to cool a little.
[12:02] Mako; internal
    Strain it, but don't press out
    any stock from the ingredients.
[12:06] Mako; internal
    Add unrefined sugar, sake, mirin,
[12:08] Mako; internal
    and soy sauce to the stock,
    then bring it back to a boil.
[12:12] Nana
    It's so nice and warm!
[12:15] Mako; internal
    Grill the duck meat
    and onions over charcoal,
[12:18] Mako; internal
    and boil the soba noodles.
[12:23] Mako; internal
    Make vinegared sushi rice,
[12:26] Mako; internal
    then top the soba with the finished broth,
[12:31] Mako; internal
    and the Kamo Nanban Soba with
    Hand-Rolled Sushi is ready!
[12:35] Mako
    And now...
[12:36] everyone
    Time to eat!
[12:39] Tsutsuji
    What an extravagant spread.
[12:41] Kurea
    Where do I start?
[12:42] Shinon
    I'm taking some tuna!
[12:54] Tsutsuji
    Sushi eaten at the kotatsu just can't be beat.
[12:57] Nana
    You're so right.
[12:59] Shinon
    It smells amazing!
[13:06] Mako
    What do you think of the soba?
[13:07] Shinon
    The broth is so good!
[13:09] Kurea
    And the duck is so tender and delicious!
[13:12] Tsutsuji
    I grilled that.
[13:14] Shinon
    Good job!
[13:15] Shinon
    If celebrating the new year is this yummy,
[13:16] Shinon
    I'll feel like I'm missing out
    if we don't do it every month!
[13:19] Nana
    I second that!
[13:20] Mako
    Leave it to me!
[13:21] Kurea
    I don't think that would
    be a new year, though.
[13:23] Tsutsuji
    Well, there'll be something
    to celebrate. There always is.
[13:29] everyone
    Thanks for the feast!
SIGN    Food
    Finished
    Well Eaten!
SIGN    Food
    Finished
    Well Eaten!
[13:34] Nana
    That was delicious!
[13:36] Shinon
    Right?
[13:37] Shinon
    And we're done cleaning, so we can
    just relax until the new year comes.
[13:43] Tsutsuji
    We still have to do the dishes, though.
[13:46] Shinon
    Let's leave that to the us of next year.
[13:49] Kurea
    No. We're doing it now.
[13:52] Shinon
    Really?
[13:56] Shinon
    It's freezing!
[13:58] Kurea
    We're almost done. You can deal with it.
[14:03] Nana
    It's here. It's here!
[14:06] Nana
    Just one more minute until we
    cross over into the new year!
[14:08] Nana
    Is everyone ready to jump?
[14:10] Shinon
    I'm not jumping.
[14:11] Tsutsuji
    I don't want to move.
[14:13] Nana
    Aw...
[14:14] Mako
    You know, this might be the first time I've
    spent New Year's with anyone besides family.
[14:19] Kurea
    Me, too.

    Here's to another great
    year together, everyone!

    of us can get together this year, too!

SIGN    New Year's greetings!
[14:47] Mako; internal
    Yuna-chan and Hiyori-chan...
[14:50] Mako; internal
    Mom and Dad texted, too.
[14:53] Mako; internal
    I have lots of people to send
    New Year's greetings to this year.
[15:06] Nana
    Makocchan, if you fall asleep at
    the kotatsu, you'll catch a cold.
[15:10] Tsutsuji
    But being warm and cozy at this time
    of night makes it hard not to fall asleep.
[15:14] Shinon
    C'mon, let's do our New Year's shrine visit.
[15:16] Tsutsuji
    It's probably really crowded
    at the shrine right now, though.
[15:19] Kurea
    Then do you want to go to
    the little one by my place?
[15:22] Kurea
    It's far, but I came by car today.
[15:25] Tsutsuji
    Oh. In that case, let's go.
[15:28] Shinon
    Okay! It's a plan!
[15:30] Shinon
    Makocchi, let's go to the shrine!
[15:34] Mako
    'Kay.
[15:39] Shinon
    Hurry up!
[15:41] Mako
    Shinon-chan sure is energetic.
[15:45] Shinon
    Okay, off we go!
[15:47] Mako
    I'm sleepy.
[16:12] Nana
    It's so cold!
[16:13] Kurea
    The shrine's a little way from here on foot.
[16:15] Shinon
    Then let's run to get warm!
[16:17] Mako
    We'll tire ourselves out before we get there.
[16:19] Tsutsuji
    R-Running really isn't my thing,
    but if it w-warms me up, I'll do anything.
[16:25] Shinon
    Hang on! Tsutsuji's shivering like crazy!
[16:27] Kurea
    Oh, I brought some stick-on hand warmers.
[16:30] Kurea
    You should all use one.
SIGN    Hand Warmers
[16:31] Shinon
    Wow, you think of everything, Kurea!
[16:34] Nana
    There, I've stuck one on you.
[16:36] Tsutsuji
    Ooh. It's warming me right to my core.
[16:40] Shinon
    Okay! Let's go to the shrine!
[16:43] everyone
    Yeah!
[17:11] Shinon
    Wow. It really is pretty empty.
[17:14] Tsutsuji
    What a hidden gem.
[17:16] Nana
    Let's go pay our respects
    to the gods right away!
[17:18] Tsutsuji
    We should rinse our hands, then.
[17:26] Nana
    It's cold!
[17:28] Nana
    This is way too much washing for one day.
[17:30] Tsutsuji
    Let's endure it for the sake of our wishes.
[17:48] Tsutsuji
    Spending big today, I see.
[17:50] Nana
    What did you wish for?
[17:53] Shinon
    I wished for a 20,000 yen
    raise on my allowance.
[17:57] Tsutsuji
    Shouldn't you be asking
    your parents, not the gods?
[17:59] Shinon
    Huh? But this way,
    I make a profit of 19,000 yen!
[18:02] Kurea
    I hope your wish comes true.
[18:04] Shinon
    Yeah!
[18:09] lady
    Here you go.
[18:10] Kurea
    Thank you.
[18:13] Kurea
    Here. It's amazake.
[18:14] Nana
    Th-Thank you.
[18:17] Tsutsuji
    It really warms you up, doesn't it?
[18:19] Mako
    Yeah.
[18:20] Shinon
    It's not a New Year's shrine visit without it.
[18:24] Tsutsuji
    Nana, is something wrong?
[18:26] Nana
    Is amazake really non-alcoholic?
[18:29] Mako
    It's fine!
[18:31] Nana
    Really, for real?
[18:32] Kurea
    Why are you so suspicious of it?
[18:34] Nana
    Well, because I'm underage,
    so if I drink alcohol, I'll get in trouble.
[18:38] Shinon
    Then give your amazake to me!
[18:43] Nana
    I don't wanna!
[18:44] Shinon
    Really?
[18:47] Nana
    Hey, they've got a campfire going!
    Let's go drink over there!
[18:51] Kurea
    No, that's the otakiage
    fire purification ritual.
[19:03] Shinon
    Kurea, did you bring any marshmallows?
[19:05] Kurea
    I wouldn't give them to you if I did!
[19:17] Mako
    It's sort of... relaxing, isn't it?
[19:20] Shinon
    Yeah.
[19:22] Mako
    A lot happened last year, huh?
[19:25] Kurea
    Yeah. That barbecue we cooked after
    we went to Tsukiji sure was good.
[19:30] Shinon
    The pizza at our club camp was yummy, too!
[19:32] Nana
    Not to mention the hot pot we had
    at Makocchan's grandma's place!
[19:37] Tsutsuji
    It feels like it's been a year
    of food-related memories.
[19:42] Kurea
    You're right.
[19:44] Shinon
    Well, we are the Food Culture
    Research Club, so that fits!
[19:47] Mako
    Let's eat lots more things and
    make lots more memories this year.
[19:53] everyone
    Yeah.
[20:07] Tsutsuji
    The sky's starting to get lighter.
[20:09] Shinon
    Yeah.
[20:10] Kurea
    Mako, are you going home
    to your family after this?
[20:13] Mako
    Yep. I'll be there until classes start.
[20:15] Shinon
    I'm planning to go home, too.
[20:17] Nana
    When do classes start?
[20:20] Tsutsuji
    With all the national holidays,
    not until the fourteenth.
[20:22] Nana
    Then we won't all see each other
    again until school starts.
[20:31] Kurea
    What's wrong, Mako?
[20:33] Mako
    We forgot to take a photo at the shrine!
[20:36] Nana
    You're right! Should we go back?
[20:39] Kurea
    Eh... It's a bit late for that now.
[20:54] Shinon
    Then let's take one here!
[20:56] Tsutsuji
    Good idea. It's not every day you have
    such a pretty sunrise as a backdrop.
[21:00] Mako
    I'll take the photo.
[21:01] Kurea
    Okay.
[21:03] Kurea
    Then we'll go with the usual phrase, okay?
[21:05] Kurea
    The one you came up with on the spur
    of the moment ended up sticking, huh?
[21:09] Mako
    I feel sort of embarrassed.
[21:10] Tsutsuji
    It's fine. I think it's very "us."
