Sorry for the delay!

Whoa! It's hotpot!

Ohhh, it looks so tasty!

It smells so good, I can hardly restrain myself!

Just the aroma alone is incredibly buono!

Right? Nico, you're like scarily good at cooking to have whipped that up in such a flash.

Heh heh. Cooking is a cinch for a school idol of my caliber!

You're amazing, Nico! All right, let's dig in!

Waaait a second!

Huh?! Why are you stopping us, Nico?

We wanna eat our hotpot right away!

We're holding a New Year's party today. I can't exactly dish it up like I would a normal hotpot, can I?

What do you mean by that?

There's still one last finishing touch. Here goes! Hiyaaa!

[Fade in/out.]

Whoa! So cute!

This is my special Alpaca Fluff Hotpot!

It's only fitting that a school idol should make everything as cute as she can!

You're amazing! It looks just like real alpaca fluff!

It does. It looks so fluffy and cute! Oh! We should take a photo before we eat any.

Definitely. I did wonder when we were gonna add in the grated radish… So this is what you had planned!

You fixed up such an amazing dish in no time at all. You're unbelievable, Nico!

Well, I am the number one greatest idol in all of the universe. It only makes sense that I could pull this off! Anyway. Guys, are you ready?

Time to dig in!

[Fade in/out.]

*Sigh* That was sooo good!

The radish shavings were so refreshing that I just kept going back for more!

For real. Nico-chi's hotpot was SOUP-er, no doubt about it! Geddit?

It was my pleasure to make it. Everyone looked like they were relishing it so much as they ate that I ended up eating more than I should have as well.

Oh, Hanayo? Are you okay?

Um… There's actually something I'd love to do with all of you, since it's New Year's.

Maybe now is a good time? Now that we've all eaten our fill?
