The Setsubun Chase Is On! Ep. 2

Nozomi

Aaaaaand we're here!

Maki

Wait, haven't we just come to the courtyard?

Hanamaru

What are we going to do here, zura?

Nozomi

Don't be so hasty. Now we'll play rock, paper, scissors.

Maki

This is making less sense by the second…

Setsuna

Now, now. This is Nozomi. I'm sure she knows what she's doing.

Lanzhu

Yeah, Maki! Come play rock, paper, scissors with me.

Maki

*Sigh* Okay.

Nozomi

Now, here we go… One, two, three!

Lanzhu

Yay! I won!

Setsuna

Wow, a clean split between winners and losers.

Hanayo

Let's see. Nozomi, Hanamaru, and Lanzhu won. And me, Maki, and Setsuna lost.

Nozomi

Perfectly balanced. Now then…

Nozomi

It's time we got Setsubun underway!

Maki

Hey, aren't those the ogre masks we used in our last Setsubun live show? What are we going to use them for?

Nozomi

*Giggle* For a game of humans vs. ogres.

Hanayo

Humans vs. ogres?

Nozomi

Yeah. The girls who lost earlier are the ogres, and the girls who won are the humans who have to chase them down.

Setsuna

So this is a game of team tag except the people who are “it” are the ogres from Setsubun?

Nozomi

Ding-ding! Exactly!

Nozomi

The game will last 15 minutes. The chasing team will win if they catch two or more ogres, and the ogre team will win they keep two or more ogres on their team.

Nozomi

And also, if a caught ogre manages to touch an uncaught ogre, they'll be freed. So, are you all up for a game?

Lanzhu

Yay, that sounds like so much fun! I'm so ready to play!

Setsuna

I am too! You're not going to catch me!

Hanamaru

I'm not quite sure I get it, but it does sound fun, zura!

Hanayo

It's been ages since I've played a game of tag. I'm gonna give it my all.

Maki

Huh? Why're you all so fired up for this?

Maki

Ugh, very well. I'll play along too.

Nozomi

The ogre team can contact each other via instant messenger. Now let's get this game of humans vs. ogres underway!
