Whoo! New Year Girls Party! Ep. 6

Setsuna

The only cure once you've eaten too much is…exercise! I brought a party game for us to play inside together!

Ruby

Oh, I know that one! You spin the wheel, then place your foot or hand on a circle that matches the color. Then you have to try not to fall over!

Hanayo

That sounds fun!

Nico

Great idea. If we're going to do this, we should do it tournament-style so that all six of us can compete.

Setsuna

I know! What if whoever loses has to get something drawn on their face in calligraphy ink? It seems fitting for New Year's.

Setsuna

After talking to Emma about it yesterday, I did some of my own research on Japanese New Year. Painting ink on people's faces was originally a lucky ward against demons.

Ai

As long as we use water-based calligraphy pens, it should wash off right away. So anyone who's interested can join in without worrying!

Emma

I want to do it! I'm fine with drawing on faces and getting drawn on!

Setsuna

All right. Let's figure out the brackets for the tournament!

[Fade in/out.]

Ai

Nico-chi! Left hand on red!

Nico

Grrr… Ngh! Made it!

Ai

Nico-chi's in the clear! Next up is Setsu! Right foot on yellow!

Setsuna

Ah… Ghhh… Okay!

Hanayo

She's got it! Our opening match is as white-hot as a final round! Each competitor is bringing their all, refusing to yield a single bit! This is what school idols are made of!

Emma

Definitely! They both look so valiant that I HAVE to take a picture!

Nico

Isn't it tough maintaining that awkward pose, Setsuna?

Setsuna

No tougher than the one you're holding, Nico! I'm going to win this match!

Nico

Aw, you're so confident. I'm not gonna give in either!

Ai

Whoa! These two are practically giving off sparks! Which is fitting, because why SPAR if you're not giving off SPAR-ks?

Nico

Hey, now! Quit cracking puns and spin the wheel already! It's really hard to keep standing in this position, you know!

Ai

Ahahaha! Sorry, sorry! Okey-dokey, here goooes! Nico-chi! Right hand on blue!

Nico

Grr… Rrrgh. Hyaaah!

Ai

Whoa, she did it! You're up next, Setsu. Left foot on green!

Setsuna

Guh. This is a really risky move but I can't give up here! Hyaaah!

Setsuna

Oh no, I'm losing balance! Eeek!

Nico

Wha! Wait, wh-whoooah?!

[Fade in/out.]

Setsuna

*Whimper* This sucks.

Setsuna

I was so close! If only I'd just stretched a tiny bit further!

Nico

Still, a loss is a loss. I'll draw something great on your face in ink! You should be proud of yourself, really. You made me work pretty hard back there.

Setsuna

I swear I'm gonna win next time!

Nico

Bring it! I can take you on any time!

Emma

Drawing with ink…

Emma

Oh! I've got it!
