New Year, New Dreams Ep. 5
Ayumu
There, that should do it.
Mia
So you tie it to a tree as soon as you read what's inside? Japanese culture sure is interesting. But does it have to be a tree?
Rina
Hmm, I've never thought about it before. I'll have to look that up sometime.
Kotori
All right, we tied up our fortunes, so we should be good now.
Yoshiko
Do you really think so?
Hanamaru
Yoshiko?
Yoshiko
I mean, I know I got my fortune slip back, but I also ended up getting pecked by that hawk. I don't think my bad luck will change this year either…
Ayumu
Haven't you ever heard that thing about seeing Mt. Fuji, hawks, or eggplants in your first dream of the year?
Yoshiko
You mean how seeing those things in your dream will bring you good luck?
Ayumu
Yep, that's the one. Think about it. We saw Mt. Fuji in Uchiura and picked up an eggplant on the stairs to the shrine, right?
Ayumu
And now we just saw a hawk. It's gotta be super rare to run into so many lucky things like this.
Ayumu
So I bet this year will turn out to be a really, really good one.
Hanamaru
That's right, zura! I know you got pecked at, but it's only because of that hawk that we got your fortune slip back!
Rina
I mean, not many people can say a hawk ever helped them out. More good things are bound to happen from here on.
Yoshiko
You guys…
Mia
Hey, how about enhancing our luck with some sort of item? I heard they sell things at the shrine that bring you luck.
Kotori
That's not a bad idea. If you carry something like a charm around with you, I bet your luck'll get better. Let's go check them out.
Yoshiko
Yeah! That's just the thing I need to boost my fallen angel powers. Let's get going!
[Fade in/out.]
Yoshiko
This will surely bring me luck! Come on, now I can take on anyone or anything from anywhere!
Mia
Whoa, what is that?! It looks so cool!
Yoshiko
It's a ceremonial arrow! They say these have the power to defeat evil spirits that bring calamity and misfortune!
Yoshiko
Mwahaha. The great Yohane shall be slaying evil spirits this year!
Hanamaru
Hey, Yoshiko, how about pairing that with this charm as well, zura? It says this one brings you good luck.
Yoshiko
Nice! It has a cool design and everything. I'll buy that one too!
Ayumu
I wanna get this charm for my best friend!
Kotori
I think I'll also buy charms for Honoka and Umi.
Rina
Check it out, you guys. The line for paying homage at the shrine has gotten shorter.
Yoshiko
It sure has! It looks like my luck may have changed already!
Yoshiko
Come on everyone, now's our chance to get in line while I'm exorcising the evil spirits! Let's line up!
