02x06 - How Are Your Fortunes This Year, Senpai?

[bunniefuu]

Hey, Onee-chan...

What is it, Hayase-chan?

What would make a good Christmas present?

Hm?

Is it for someone dear to you?

I-It's nothing like that!

Mhm.

Maybe something consumable, then.

Consumable?

Snacks, bath salts...

Some kind of gift that you use up.

That way, you don't have to worry
about any lingering feelings.

Consumables...

They aren't special to you, right?
So that's probably better.

I guess so, but...

But if you want something that'll last,

how about something they
could use on a daily basis?

Thanks, Onee-chan!

You're welcome, Hayase-chan.

I have an idea for a gift that'll
never be thrown away!

A life-sized Onee-chan doll!

No thanks!

DON'T TOY WITH ME,
MISS NAGATORO

How Are Your Fortunes This Year, Senpai?

How Are Your Fortunes This Year, Senpai?

It's super pretty, huh, Senpai?

Um...

Here.

For me?

S-Since it's Christmas...

Another gross dream.

How's she...

going to react?

Senpai!

Do you know what day it is today?

Closing ceremonies.

Yeah, right, sure.

Closing ceremonies just finished.

And?

What else?

Ch-Christmas...

Eve!

The great big romantic
event that is Christmas!

Where couples talk about
love and share gifts.

Christmas Eve!

Menacing

She's so hyper.

She's ready to toy with
me about Christmas stuff.

Then again...

It's just another miserable
day for all the loners.

Isn't that right?

But it's true, isn't it?

You're alone on Christmas, Senpai.

Guess I'll just hand this
over and get out of here.

Here, take it.

Bye!

Library

Poor you, Senpai.

Don't you have anyone to play with you?

Hey there, you two.

Perfect timing.

There are two kinds of women.

The two kinds being...

Those who have a man and those who don't!

Grrrr...

Right.

Sorry about today.

I'd rather hang out with you guys...

...but it's Christmas Eve!

We simply can't.

Right!

Annoying gloating...

Annoying!

All right!

Team Manless are pulling
an all-night karaoke party!

They may take our men,
but never our karaoke!

I'm not even going to have a
chance to give her the gift.

I-Is that...

It can't be!

You're joining us for all-night karaoke, right?

E-Er... Hmm...

But isn't that your guy next to you?

N-No way!

I'm just toying with him for fun.

So you're joining us at karaoke, then.

You're joining the karaoke group,
too, right, Paisen?

So? What's it gonna be?

Indeed!

W-Well...

I forgot something in the club room.

So I'll stay here and...

Ah!

Oh, yeah!

I feel like I might have forgotten
something or other, too.

Let's go, Senpai!

Run!

That was pretty obvious, huh?

Hella sus!

Paisen's trying his best, though.

Senpai, have you found
what you're looking for?

Y-Yeah.

Guess I'll just take some
pencils or something.

H-Hey...

Hm? What is it?

What the hell are you doing, President?!

I won't be seeing this club
room much in the future.

So I'm letting it soak into my skin.

Hurry up and graduate, you skeevy bunny!

Never mind me.

What are you two doing?

A rendezvous?

No!

We're leaving, Senpai!

The school is now closing.

If you are in the building,
please leave quickly.

What do I do?

Should I give it to her on the way home?

Maybe, but...

What if someone sees us?

Where could we go where people won't see us?

It's Yamaguchi-sensei!
He's really strict about school policies!

He'll kick us out if he sees us!

Nurse's Office

Th-The nurse's office!

G-Got it!

Uh-oh. I got dragged into the nurse's office.

Are you going to do naughty things to me?

I'm not!

It doesn't seem right giving
her the gift here, but...

I don't know if I'll have
another opportunity later.

H-Hey...

Hm?

What is it?

Hold still.

You're pretty forward, Sakura-san.

Am I, though?

Shouldn't we take more time
for these kinds of things?

You're so proper.

Hey, w-wait...

R-Rooftop!

Roger!

No one's going to interrupt us on the rooftop.

The school is now closing.

If you are in the building,
please leave quickly.

She says we have to leave.

We still have time.

Wanna leave?

Y-Yeah...

H-Here.

It's cold, so...

Can I open it?

Y-Yeah.

Thanks, Senpai.

Do I look good?

I-I guess.

Okay, here's yours, then.

Th-Thanks.

I can't believe we got the same thing.

So creepy.

Stop copying me, Senpai!

I-I'm not.

Creep! Creep! Creep!

I hope for eternal peace

It's what I've been given since the beginning

DON'T TOY WITH ME,
MISS NAGATORO

DON'T TOY WITH ME,
MISS NAGATORO

The year is almost over.

It sure is.

We have the perfect song for the occasion.

It's almost the end of the year...

It was one of this year's most popular songs.

Nagatoro

Your friend?

K-Kinda.

Something like that.

Do you do the New Year shrine visit, Senpai?

No.

I haven't gone since I was a kid.

I figured.

You're definitely not the type to go.

Locking yourself in your room and sleeping in
on New Year's Day is more your speed.

You roll yourself up in your futon and
roll around all day like a caterpillar.

Eventually, your futon grows hair,
and you become a hairy caterpillar!

Gross!

I-I was going to go this year.

The best shrine around here to visit for
New Year's has to be the Ishido Shrine.

Yeah, I guess so.

Okay. Happy New Year!

Dec. 31

I figured...

All right, I'll be waiting
at six o' clock at the torii!

I'll smack you if you're late!

Creepy, creepy, creep, creep!

...she'd say something like that.

No, no, no.

Why am I getting my hopes up?

Fortunes

Relationship
Fortunes

She's not here...

Maybe I should have invited her.

No, no, no!

What a failure.

You're such a failure, Senpai.

Nagatoro?!

Happy New Year.

Y-Yeah.

Happy New Year.

Wh-What's up with the outfit?

I've always wanted to wear one of
these, so I took up a job here.

What do you think?

Isn't it cute?

It's a shrine priestess!

Cute!

S-Sure.

"S-Sure," he says!

You sound like such a virgin.

Oh, wait, you are!

Sorry!

Why would you say that
in a priestess outfit?!

You're beet red, Senpai!

Such a virgin!

That's his New Year's Creepolution!

Creepy, creepy!

Creepy, creepy!

It's too early in the year
for this kind of energy.

So how am I a failure again?

Senpai, what's the first thing
you're supposed to do at a shrine?

You're supposed to wash your hands.

R-Right.

After that, you rinse your mouth.

A-Are you sure you shouldn't be working?

Yeah, it's fine.

There aren't that many
visitors here right now.

Besides...

Part of my job is teaching failures like
you how to make a proper shrine visit.

Once you've cleansed
yourself, it's time for...

Fortune telling!

Fortunes



Is that a rule or something?

No, not really.

It isn't?

Well, whatever.

Thank you!

Now, let's see your fortunes for this year...

Oh, in case you're wondering, mine's...

Fortunes

Best Fortune

Best Fortune!

See? See?

Best Fortune!

She just made me do this so she could brag.

Now, let's see if you can beat my luck!

It's not a contest.

Bad

Bad!

A fitting fortune for you, Senpai!

Bad! Bad! Bad!

Shut up.

Missing

Two good luck charms.

That'll be 400 yen.



What's wrong?

Life doesn't really go the way you expect.

Life, huh?

Next customer, please.

Wh-What do you want, Senpai?

I...

I...?

I'd like a good luck charm.

What the heck am I doing?!

Be more clear!

When do you get off work?

Wanna hit the shrine when you're done?

I'll be waiting.

I can't!

I can't possibly act that slick!

That'll be 200 yen.

Thank you.

I'll...

I'll be waiting.

Senpai!

Please don't wander off after
mumbling something like that.

Sorry.

You have talent as a future stalker.

I'm sorry. Really.

So, what's up?

Whatcha waiting on me for?

Well...

I...

I...?

I thought we could visit the shrine together.

With me?

Er... Uh...

Oh, yeah, isn't this shrine...

Matchmaking

A matchmaking shrine?!

Senpai, what are you going to wish
for at the matchmaking shrine?

N-No...

It has nothing to do with the
fact that it's a matchmaking shrine.

Are you sure?

You aren't going to...

make a wish that...

I'll go out with you, are you?

Give me a break!

I-I-I'm not!

Are you sure?

I don't believe you.

H-Hypothetically...

Hypothetically?

H-Hypothetically, okay?!

Sure, sure, hypothetically.

I-If I were to wish to g-go...

G-G-Go?

...go out with you?

Go out with me?

If you were?!

I'd rather not depend on the gods.

I think I should make it happen myself.

I'm just quoting the fortune.

Well, good luck, then!

It's j-j-just a hypothetical scenario!

Sure, sure!

It's hypothetical!

So, what did you wish for in the end, Senpai?

Family well-being.

W-Wow, that's so plain.

Wh-What's wrong with that?

What about you, Nagatoro?

What was your wish?

Mine?

My wish was...

that I can...

become your bride, Senpai.

Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-What?!

Just kidding!

Your bride?!

Did you think I was serious?!

Heck no.

No, you totally took me seriously.

Heck no.

Liar! Liar!

Points of improvement for today!

Senpai, who asks for family
well-being at a matchmaking shrine?

What's wrong with that?

You have to make a wish
that's worth wishing for.

Like?

Like "make me popular."

I think I'd rather just have
another fun year, like last year.

Stop acting so cool! Creep!
