"On usual, precious nights, I'd be riding by your side as you take me in your car for a ride." "I hung up the phone, when you called to cancel the date I tried to pretend that there wasn't a scent of lie." "The color of my manicure, as it dries only serves to glamorize this night..." "A-ha-ha..." "The Actress in the Mirror..." "Got to be more straightforward to say it but uncertainty whispers into my ear..." "'Cause I love you..." "The Actress in the Mirror... each time I act, the truth leaves further and further from my face." "You've broken my heart." "A-ha-ha..." "The Actress in the Mirror..." "Got to be able to cry but my pride keeps revising my dialogue..." "'Cause I love you..." "The Actress in the Mirror..." "There's no turning back now that I've realized the seriousness of the crime." "You've broken my heart." "Well, Madoka said that she'd be spending New Year's with her family, in America." "A..." "America?" "!" "Now, you are my slave!" "Master, command me as you will." "She's really hypnotized!" "K..." "Kasuga!" "Yu..." "Yuusaku!" "Er..." "Hypnotizing Madoka!" "Kyosuke's Risky New Year's." "I woke up to the sound of my stomach growling." "The fact that I didn't have my First Dream of the New Year made me feel like I'd missed out on something big." "Happy New Year, Darling." "A..." "Ayukawa..." "How about some Ozouni?" "Or..." ""Ozouni":" "A traditional New Year's soup." "...some Otoso, perhaps?" ""Otoso":" "New Year's Medicine-in-Sake." "Please tell me how I may serve you, Master." "T..." "This must be a dream..." "It's got to be a dream!" "Yup... 'Twas a dream..." "Hey Kyosuke, when are you getting up?" "!" "Are you ready to go yet?" "!" "Still, talk about a wild dream!" "Could it be a Foreboding Dream?" "!" "Hey!" "Now you've entered the hypnotically susceptible state of "Deep Sleep!"" "And now, you are a dog!" "Yeah, I did it!" "Paw please!" "Run around me three times!" "Sit!" "No, no!" "That's not sitting!" "Kurumi, that's enough." "Okay, that's it." "Yeah!" "I'm gonna show Grandpa my hypnotic skills!" "Oh, no!" "He might still be hypnotized!" "What the...?" "What did you do?" "!" "Why you, hold it!" "Kyosuke..." "We'll leave without you, if you don't get ready right now!" "Oh!" "Huh?" "Leave..." "Like, where to?" "I forgot." "Gosh..." "We're spending New Year's at Grandpa's!" "Don't you remember?" "!" "Oh, that's right..." "But, now wait a sec..." "The dream I just had..." "If that was a Foreboding Dream..." "Say..." "Oniichan, what's wrong?" "I wonder if he's been hypnotized all his life...?" "Clearly, the Otoshidama is tempting..." ""Otoshidama":" "New Year's money given to children." "...but then, Ayukawa in a bunny costume is not to be missed...!" "Now, you are asleep!" "He's hopeless." "Let's just go, Papa." "If we have to wait for Oniichan, we'll miss New Year's!" "You mean, Darling, she made you sleep all this time?" "Yeah." ""Hypnosis" sounds so..." "laid back for New Year's Eve, eh, Kasuga?" "Gee, get off my case, Master." "By the way, where's Ayukawa?" "Well, Madoka said that she'd be heading off to America today." "She should be getting ready right now." "A..." "America?" "!" "Spending time with her parents." "She said she had no choice." ""Wouldn't you want to spend the New Year's holiday..." ""...with the special someone who means the most to you?"" ""Wouldn't we all?"" "Spending New Year's in America..." "I'm so envious!" "Yeah." "Still..." "Still even if it's only a few days the fact that I won't be able to see Ayukawa..." "Ayukawa!" "Ow..." "Ayukawa!" "What happened?" "!" "Ayukawa!" "Kasuga..." "I'm fine..." "I got a little dizzy..." "Ayukawa!" "Let's see..." "If I..." "If I wake her up now she'll go off to America." "If that happens..." "Hello?" "Oh." "Hikaru...?" "I had no idea you'd be so considerate, Kasuga." "A..." "Ayukawa!" "Oh..." "Er..." "Well..." "I thought that you'd need to warm up a little, so..." "If you'd like to, the water should be perfect by now." "You're under arrest for "Trespassing on Private Property!"" "Gosh!" "She decided not to go?" "!" "Yet another one of Madoka's whims, perhaps?" "Well then, I'm gonna bear down and finish up my work here, Master!" "Indeedy!" "Uh-huh..." "Oh, it looks so good!" "I'm such a sucker for Soba-noodles!" "If I may!" "Say, Ayukawa... are you really all right now?" "Yeah, I'm fine." "I got a little dizzy back there, that's all." "Well, I heard that you were leaving for America all of a sudden so..." "Oh yeah..." "America..." "Don't... you need to go?" "Is it better if I do?" "N..." "No..." "This must be..." "my first time..." "Huh?" "To be like this..." "To enjoy Toshikoshi Soba-noodles together with someone." ""Toshikoshi": served on New Year's Eve to wish longevity, good health." "Lucky me." "Thanks to Kurumi's hypnosis, I'm having great Soba!" ""Hypnosis?" "!"" "Yeah." "And it's pretty potent too." "If I were to hypnotize you, you'd end up obeying my every command!" "Wow..." "Like, how?" "Huh?" "Er..." "Well..." "like..." "Like..." "Now, you are my slave!" "Just kidding!" "So, when I do something like that..." "Huh...?" "Master, command me as you will." "What?" "!" "Oh, gee!" "Stop kidding me, Ayukawa!" "Please call me "Madoka."" "She's really hypnotized!" "Umao!" "Wherefore art thou, Umao?" "Ushiko!" "And, wherefore art thou, Ushiko?" "Er..." "W..." "Well..." "But, er..." ""Command me as you will?" How am I supposed to answer that?" "!" "I know!" "A..." "Ayukawa!" "Oops, I meant..." "Madoka!" "Yes, sir." "Lemme see..." "Tea!" "Please bring me some tea." "Er, I mean, go get it for me." "Yes, sir." "My..." "But, is it really okay for me to be doing this?" "Here you go, sir." "Th..." "Thank you." "That dream was... a Foreboding Dream after all!" "She's under hypnosis." "That means..." "For instance..." "Gotcha!" "On top of that, I could do something like..." "O..." "Ow!" "Are you all right, Master?" "Y..." "Yeah." "I know!" "Madoka, how about massaging my shoulders?" "Yes, Master." "Oh, man..." "Okay, now how about cleaning my ears?" "Life is good!" "Okay, now how about something like washing me in the bath, maybe?" "Yes, sir." "Just kidding!" "I was just kidding!" "Sir?" "Er..." "Never mind!" "No matter what the circumstances were, I felt that there was no way that we should be bathing together." "Seeing her like this, Ayukawa seemed to me to be charming beyond words." "Is there a problem, Master?" "Oh..." "No!" "Say!" "Say, you, my New Year's Eve Girl!" "Wanna go do the Kanetsuki with me tonight?" ""Kanetsuki": the ringing of large bells at Buddhist shrines on New Year's Eve." "And after the clang, let's cling!" "Hey, girls!" "Master, what is the matter?" "Er, no..." "It's nothing!" "Kasuga!" "Ayukawa!" "You guys!" "What do you think you're doing here?" "!" "Oh, er..." "Well..." "Hey, hey, my man!" "Lookin' good!" "You're hot!" "Lookin' good, you two!" "H..." "Hey!" "You kids!" "Have a Happy New Year's!" "Oh!" "H..." "Hey!" "Stop!" "Hold it, you!" "Hey!" "Hold it!" "I should've known... that taking her out would be a big mistake!" "Dammit!" "Where the hell did Kasuga go?" "!" "Master..." "L..." "Let's go home, Madoka." "Yes, sir." "Whoa!" "Oh, gee!" "Watch what you're doing!" "Such a waste!" "Get me another one, why don't you?" "!" "K..." "Kasuga!" "Y..." "Yuusaku!" "M..." "Madoka..." "W..." "Well, I can explain..." "Kasuga, how dare you...!" "You're dead meat!" "Yikes!" "M..." "Madoka, you're not completely innocent either." "This is so unfair to Hikaru..." "Master?" "I don't understand what this person is talking about." "Y..." "Yuusaku!" "H..." "Hey!" "My coffee!" "Wait a second!" "Hey!" "Shazam!" "What do you think, Master?" "Oh!" "Now that's something!" "Why, I might even throw in something extra on top of your regular pay!" "Lucky me!" "Oh, thanks a lot." "Okay now!" "The shop's now closed for this year!" "Guess we'll have a late snack and then..." "New Year's Day Shrine-Visiting!" "Darling's in for a surprise, I hope!" "H..." "Hikaru..." "Goddammit!" "Hey!" "What's his problem?" "!" "The bath..." "It feels perfect now." "O... okay." "O..." "O..." "It's okay!" "I..." "I can get undressed myself." "S..." "Still..." "I hope this isn't a sin." ""I can... wash your back for you."" "Yup, that's it!" "I can... wash your back for you." "Oh!" "Yes, please!" "Please do!" "Then I shall go to my room and disrobe." "Huh?" "Y..." "You could do it right here..." "Oh, never mind!" "Yes, you're right!" "Do like you said." "It's unforgivable!" "Now he's done it to Madoka as well..." "Kasuga Kyosuke..." "I declare that..." "that you can't be forgiven!" "Ayukawa!" "Ayukawa, what's the problem?" "I wonder if she's still a bit embarrassed, even when under hypnosis?" "!" "Good evening, Madoka!" "H..." "Hikaru?" "!" "W..." "What brings her here this late at night?" "!" ""Madoka?" "Huh...?"" ""Er..." "Er..." "Hikaru!"" ""D..." "Darling..." "What are you doing here?" "!"" ""No..." "I, er..."" ""Don't tell me..." "Don't tell me that you and Madoka... "" ""No!" "No!"" "Dammit!" "There!" "Yippee!" "Darling!" "Huh?" "!" "Here I am at last!" "Hikaru, n... now..." "Well?" "Shall we go out... to do our New Year's Shrine-Visiting?" "What?" "!" "Gosh, you didn't know?" "!" "Madoka and I decided to do it this afternoon over the phone." "What?" "!" "Still, Madoka, why did you decide not to go to America?" "Huh?" "Er, well..." "I changed my mind, y'know..." "Y..." "You mean...!" "Your pants..." "They're on backwards." "Huh?" "H..." "Hold it, you!" "Ayukawa!" "Hey!" "What's going on, you two?" "Hold it!" "It was all an... act put on by Ayukawa." "Grrr!" "Indeed, Ayukawa always being one step ahead is an angel." "Grrr!" "Huh?" "Kasuga!" "You're dead!" "What the...?" "!" "We wish you a Happy New Year!" "Er... yes!"
