Good morning, Sensei. I'm here for duty.

Oh!? It's New Year's Day, you know? Didn't I tell you to take the day off on Momotalk?

No... It's just that I didn't really have anything else to do, being by myself and all...

But why are you of all people spending New Year's here at SCHALE, Sensei?

This place is just too comfy. I've basically moved in here without Yuuka and the others finding out.

I mean, there's no need to pay rent or commute here, so it's really rational, when you think about it.

Subaru, you don't look like you've done anything New Year-ish at all, yeah?

Well, yes.... I've never done anything like that before. I wouldn't even know how...

In that case, how about having your first proper New Year's together with me?

Huh... But...

You don't want to?

No, that's not what I meant...

...Well, since it's my first time,

Please go easy on me...

....Nnh....

Hff......

Ngk...
