Title: SantasuSanta¹

Wax Vine: Under the cover of darkness, bringing people happiness...
Wax Vine: 3+3 is for Santa ...I'm here!
Hardenbergia: 3+3...? How does that work...?
Wax Vine: It's a pun. Since puns bring people happiness...² Hardenbergia, would you like to think some up with me?
Hardenbergia: Puns, huh... I don't mind ♪ Since it makes me happy to be relied on...
Hardenbergia: How~about...
Hardenbergia: Sanjou no Santa dajou-! (Here's Santa in a disaster scene!)
Hardenbergia: Santa Kuro-su san taku kurou suru! (Santa Claus has trouble making 3 choices!)
Wax Vine: A... amazing...!
Hardenbergia: Tonakai to nakaii? (Are you friends with raindeers?)
[It is said that a thousand new puns were invented that day]

¹ 3+3 can be read as "san tasu san", so either add the last "ta" or leave it at "san" for "Santa-san"
² See event story "The Snowy Forest's Gifts" (Lamb's Ear's event, no. 48)

Title: Pounding the M

Hare's Ear: It's the first time I'll be giving mochi pounding a try, so I wonder if it'll go well...
Jack-in-the-pulpit: I can see Hare's Ear having no problem with it.
Hare's Ear: The kids in the town said the same thing to me just now...
<Hare's Ear: The ears and the kimono have a strong "moon viewing" feel to them...>
Jack-in-the-pulpit: Fufu, the trick is to strike like your putting your weight into it and then connecting it.
Hare's Ear: I see... Let's do this... EI!!
Jack-in-the-pulpit: Aah ❤
Jack-in-the-pulpit: Amazing... With such strength... ❤
Hare's Ear: Eh...?
<Hare's Ear: What was that just now...?>
Jack-in-the-pulpit: I'm looking forward to the mochi ♪

Title: Big cleaning

Cepha Lanthera: Let's properly finish our big cleaning so that we can welcome the new year with fresh spirits!
<Di Yu: Surely, just as planned?>
Cepha Lanthera: I've heard that the first step in the process of cleaning should be "segregation". You start with dividing the items between those that are still useful and no longer useful.
Nazuna: I see! Let's try doing that!
<Saint Paulia: ~♫>
Nazuna: These anniversary glasses and swimsuit are still useful... ¹
Nazuna: I might wear this costume again... <Hmmmm...>
Nazuna: Next year I still want to play with the flower knight karuta deck I prepared this year, so obviously it's considered useful... ²
Nazuna: ...
Nazuna: At this point, it'd be faster to just use the rest of our budget to buy a warehouse, right!? <running from reality>
Canola: Isn't that an abuse of authority!?

Title: First sun basking of the year

<Saint Paulia getting toasty in the sun>
Nazuna: Saint Paulia, what are you doing?
Saint Paulia: Oh my~ Nazuna! The first sunrise of the year is out, so I was just basking in it~ First sun basking of the year.
Nazuna: <I see!> It sounds like a good omen to bathe in the sunlight of the new year!
Nazuna: Then again it's still chilly outside... I wouldn't do this normally, but how about doing it while covered with our futon as an exception?
Saint Paulia: Yaay~ Sounds warm and toasty and nice~
Di Yu: !? <startled>

Title: The best way to stand out

Winter Jasmine: Hyacinth, that sparkling outfit makes you stand out so much that it's making me feel jealous!
Hyacinth: Fufu, thank you.
Hyacinth: In that case Winter Jasmine, I'll lend you this cocktail hat.
Winter Jasmine: Waa...! Thank you very much!
Winter Jasmine: Somehow I have a feeling I'll be splendidly standing out with this!
Hyacinth: There's a way to stand out even more.
Winter Jasmine: <Eh?> What is it!?
Hyacinth: It's to win today's 1st place at Perfume Notte¹ ♪
Winter Jasmine: That's right!! Let's do it!!

Title: Bunny Girl

<Scilla: Let's go~!>
Foxglove: Is that... Scilla? In a bunny girl outfit though...
<Foxglove: Did her losses finally rack up to a point where she needs to start working for Perfume Notte?>
<Foxglove: If I were to wear that... I think my sense of shame would win there, so that's not an option.>
Cleome: Ah, Foxglove! I heard that a special dice game that only people in bunny girl outfits can sign up for is about to begin!
Foxglove: Eh!? A special dice game!?
Foxglove: Fufu, I'll be winning this one!!
<Cleome: Awesome->
<Scilla: AAAH~>

Title: Original cocktail

See-through Lily: Lavatera, it's been a long time since we played together and had so much fun!
Lavatera: That's right! I'm also having a great time!
Lavatera: I'd like to make the best out of this experience and find a hint to make an original cocktail that can surprise even Hyacinth...
See-through Lily: A hint, huh~
See-through Lily: Finding things is my speciality! Let's search for Lavatera's hint together!
Lavatera: See-through Lily! Thank you very much! <beaming>
Lavatera: Making orange juice the base for this cocktail and garnishing it with melon bread, I present you my original cocktail - "Happy Memories".
Hyacinth: .........

Title: Panda lullaby

[A new series from the creators of the highly popular "Otter Samba"¹ sweets called "Panda lullaby"... You can get a Panda plushie from their launch celebration lottery]
Artichoke: ...is what I heard, so I bought one, but unfortunately it's a miss... I really wanted to add one to my collection...
Vanda: Artichoke, lookie, lookie! Here's what I got from the store just now. As expected, pandas are really cute, aren't they?
Artichoke: Tha... that's...!!
Artichoke: .........is that so? I'm happy for you. ...May I touch that plushie of yours for a bit?
Vanda: No problem, go ahead~ However that is pretty unexpected, you know?
Artichoke: Is that so? I once took part in intelligence gathering activities while wearing a costume... And since knowing the texture is part of the job... <chatting on while petting>
Vanda: You're required to wear a panda costume soon?

Title: The day of 7

Radish: Today is the day we celebrate "7", right!? Nazuna!
Nazuna: Yes! Speaking of "7", it's our Seven Herbs Maiden Group's time to shine!
Nazuna: I think it'd be a good idea if the 7 of us celebrated the day by eating delicious things with names somehow connected to "7".
Water Dropwort: Hmmm... Names connected to "7"... huh. <Hmm~mm...>
Nipplewort: I wonder what could we have. <Hmm~mm...>
Turnip: How about a porridge packed full of healthy ingredients, 7 times the normal amount? I think that'd be nice and healthy.
Jersey Cudweed: Let's see... Seven colors... How about rainbow colored sweets?
Nazuna: Those are some pretty extreme ideas...
Chickweed: AH!!
Chickweed: Hako¹ remembered a dish with 7 in its name! Shichimi!! <Heyyah!>
Nazuna: The most extreme one arrives!!

Title: Weapon maintenance

Japanese Honeysuckle: We don't know when a strong pest might appear... We can't neglect weapon maintenance. <wiping>
Paphiopedilum: Yeah, I think so too. <wiping>
Paphiopedilum: Seeing a briliantly polished sword sure makes me focus my mind... Japanese Honeysuckle, are you close to finishing too?
Japanese Honeysuckle: Finishing? ...Hardly.
Japanese Honeysuckle: Small knifes... Rope... Poisons... I have many different tools prepared for assassinations always at the ready. The maintenance is only beginning from now on.
Paphiopedilum: So that's how it is...
<Paphiopedilum: Where in the world is she hiding them...>
Japanese Honeysuckle: I also have underwear for use during spying activities.
Paphiopedilum: Even such a thing!?
Japanese Honeysuckle: ...Though, truth to be told, I haven't used it yet.
