Two besties, plan for a new year

Etsudo Tatchibana

Tia, close your eyes—New-Year preview.

Tiana Namatsua

Etsu, if it’s candy again I’m gonna squeeze you!

Etsudo Tatchibana

There—officially the first magical girl of 20XX.

Tiana Namatsua

Do I transform now or at midnight?

Etsudo Tatchibana

Come celebrate with us—Mom’s making black-bean mochi. There’s room for Amea too.

Tiana Namatsua

I’ll ask… but if Sis says no, can I still come?

Etsudo Tatchibana

You’re family, Tia. Table’s incomplete without you.

Tiana Namatsua

Then I’ll tell Sis I’m adopting yours this year.

Tiana Namatsua

Magical-girl promise—we’ll watch first sunrise together!

Etsudo Tatchibana

Deal—just… mind the ribs, hero…

Tiana Namatsua

Huh? Cold draft? Boys are weird…
