The Setsubun Chase Is On! Ep. 1

Hanamaru

Ahhh, I'm so full. That was so tasty. I totally overate, zura.

Hanayo

*Giggle* So did I. Lunch always tastes better after practice, right?

Nozomi

*Giggle* Seeing you two enjoying your lunch so much made me overeat too.

Maki

Yeah, my belly isn't feeling too good.

Setsuna

Eat hard and train hard. That's the school idol way!

Lanzhu

She's right. It's great being able to chat over lunch after practice.

Hanayo

Speaking of which, I remembered something during lunch. Nijigasaki's got a Setsubun fair going on right now, don't they?

Hanamaru

Nice! I wonder what they've got on the menu.

Setsuna

It looks like they've got salad with beans, tofu hamburgers, and ehomaki sushi rolls.

Hanayo

Wow, they all sound so good! I'm gonna have to look up how you're supposed to eat ehomaki rolls later.

Lanzhu

Hm? Ehomaki rolls? What are those?

Nozomi

Now that you mention it, they're a uniquely Japanese custom, so it makes sense you've never heard of them.

Hanamaru

It's basically a thick sushi roll that you eat while facing your lucky direction during Setsubun.

Lanzhu

Wow. Setsubun is such an interesting festival. We don't have anything like it in China during this time of year. It's a new concept for me.

Maki

Guess that's down to cultural differences, eh?

Nozomi

Then why don't we all take part?

Lanzhu

Yaaay! I'm so excited to take part in Setsubun!

Maki

Great to hear. We can eat some ehomaki rolls and scatter some beans.

Setsuna

Then I'll make ehomaki rolls for everyone here!

Hanayo

Really?! I'm so glad you'd do that for us, but, um…

Nozomi

As nice as that would be, I'd like to try something different this time.

Setsuna

Something different?

Nozomi

*Giggle* I've just come up with a great idea.

Maki

I don't like the sound of that…

Hanamaru

Still, I'm wondering what she's got in mind, zura.

Nozomi

Okay then, everyone follow me.

Hanayo

Where are we going?

Nozomi

You'll find out when we get there. Now let's go!
