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!
