Abby

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
And I vote to bring in the new year by splittin' some stuff in two!
Let's start with this rice cake or whatever... This is supposed to be split in two, right? Or is this supposed to be busted up?
But whatever! Result's the same either way, right? Here we go!

Abby: That's the first sunrise of the year! Ooh, look how pretty it is!
Bobo: Bobo (It fills me with determination to carry on.)
Abby: And it's so round! Ahh, don't it just make you wanna split it in two!
Bobo: Bo! (Why do you have such a violent imagination!)
Abby: Heh heh! I knew you'd agree, Bobo! You think so too, don't ya, (Captain)?
Bobo: Bo... (Haha... This is going to be another long year...)

Abby: Happy New Year to you, (Captain)! And to you too, Bobo!
So, Bobo, cough up the New Year's rupies for me and (Captain)!
Bobo: Bobo? Bo... (This little... Trying to take money from a bear...)
Bobo... (I guess I am an adult after all... And technically older than them...)
Abby: Don't tell me... You don't have any rupies for us?
Fine... I guess that's just the way you are...
How about I give you something instead!
Bobo: Bobo! Bo... (What! Abby... I knew you were a sweetheart...)
Abby: Here you go! It's a colorful bug I caught in the Lumacie woods! With lots of legs too!
I know you love these! Enjoy the meal!
Bobo: Bobo... (I knew it was too good to be true...)

Abby: Hey, (Captain)! Bobo has something for you!
Bobo: Bobo! (As a grown man... I mean, as a grown bear, I felt it only right to give you a New Year's gift, (Captain)!)
Abby: Lucky you, (Captain)! Mm, that fruit looks so good!
Bobo: Bo! (I got tired of getting bugs from Abby for New Year's and needed a chance of pace...)
Abby: Ehehe! Thanks, Bobo! Look how happy (Captain) is!
Aw, what a friendly bear. You deserve something special, Bobo...
Bobo: Bo... Bobo! (Please, no! I've done my part! Now to make a break for it!)
Abby: There's no need to be shy! I made sure to get you bugs aplenty!

Abby: Sigh... There's twelve Divine Generals, but not one of them looks like a bear. Guess you won't ever be a star now, Bobo.
Bobo: Bobo... (No use pining after what'll never be. And I don't want to be a star anyway.)
Abby: It's probably because you're a big ol' lazypaws. I mean, just look at you, Bobo.
Bobo: Bobo... (Feel free to start making sense.)
Abby: Oh! Know what! If we put in some hard training, we might grab ourselves a divine title someday!
Bobo: Bobo! (Are you listening to yourself? You can't just win a seat at the divine table!)
Abby: All right! I hope you're all warmed up, Bobo! 'Cause here comes the axe!
Bobo: Bobo! (Watch where you're swinging that thing! Oh, you're gonna turn me into a star, Abby, but not the kind you're thinking of!)

Adam

Happy New Year. I have received orders from the queen to take the end of the year off.
Would it be all right if I spent this occasion among you and your crew?
Your kindness truly knows no bounds.
If there's any work to be done around here, please do not hesitate to assign some to me.
You require assistance to prepare for the New Year's party? Understood.
I shall liven up the space with traditional Erste decorations.

Please accept this, (Captain).
It is a present from the palace elders. New year's money, they call it.
Hm? You cannot accept it?
I had a feeling you would say that, (Captain).
Alas, this is my first task of the new year. I apologize if I have caused you any embarrassment.
That said, I cannot force you to accept it if that is your wish.
As a compromise, I will hold onto this money, and should you ever need it, it will be ready for you. How does that sound?
You are very young with much of life still ahead of you, (Captain).
Money may not be everything, but it can be helpful in dealing with some of life's more unfavorable surprises.
So you approve of my suggestion? Excellent. I suppose now I can consider my first task of the year complete.
Ah yes, and Happy New Year, (Captain). May it be a good one for both of us.


Agielba

Happy New Year! We're gonna reach the end of the skies come hell or high water this year!
You don't need to worry about a thing. You've got a first-rate agent on your side!

I want to check out the fireworks, but the crowds!
Ardora, sweetie! Hold on to Daddy's hand now!
Wait, what? Ardora, why are you holding onto (Captain)'s hand?

Happy, happy New Year!
Yeah, yeah, here's your New Year's money!
Don't let it go to waste!
Huh? You want me to stop treating you like a kid?
You're always overworking yourself. No problem with taking it easy like a kid on New Year's Day.

Hey, (Captain)! Did you come to stuff your face with mochi?
Right now Ardora's whipping up a storm in the kitchen.
Oh, my darling Ardora! No one makes mochi as good as you!
I just know you're gonna love her mochi, (Captain). All her hard work gives it an extra flavor boost!

Well, if it ain't (Captain)! Sorry, but I'm in a rush!
Ardora was saying she wanted to play battledore, so I got the equipment out of storage!
We're playing with the rule that the winner gets to draw all over the loser's face! So don't be surprised if you see my face covered in ink later!
Think you can go a round with her later, (Captain)? Just so you know, she's really good at battledore... Oh, gotta run!
Ardoraaa! Papa's coming!


Aglovale

...
(Captain), what makes the first dawn of the year so beautiful as this?
...
(Captain), your measureless journey will continue after this, will it not?
Please share with me any anecdotes about the lands through which you pass.
I will be sure to greet you with a tremendous feast when you do, (Captain).

To seek an audience with me so early in the new year... 'Tis a commendable act of loyalty.
Tell me, what is this gift that you bring, (Captain)?
This bouncy white substance... It is my first time seeing such a thing.
Hm? Yes, this bouncy white...
What are you laughing about? I am asking you for the name of this bouncy white substance.
What did you say! This is called... mochi?
Hahaha! I must say, I did not anticipate such a delectable name!
I like it. I shall buy up all of this delicacy you call mochi. Now, take me to where the mochi are.

Do you recall the gift you gave me last year? The "mochi..."
I have developed quite a taste for it. I even toured the land from whence it came and studied how it may be served.
It is at times steeped in broth and sprinkled over with a powder made of crushed beans. At other times, it is mixed into a sweet red bean stew.
Little thought went into its naming, but I was pleased to learn the same cannot be said for its preparation.
Hm? Have you another gift for me this year?
How courteous of you. Bring it forth.
Is this an ornament? But it is merely two mochi, one stacked atop the other. How quaint!
Hah-hah-hah! I quite like it! I shall display it in my room and so celebrate the coming of the new year.

A year has gone by, and another is upon us. Tell me, (Captain)—what did you gain this past year, and what did you lose?
They say partings exist to usher in new encounters, but I beg to differ.
Loss is loss, no matter how you choose to interpret it. The new may be comforting, but it does not qualify as a resolution.
You appear to be perplexed by my somber tone on such an auspicious day.
My intent was not to lecture you.
I merely wanted you to keep this bit of wisdom in mind. That all you possess now may no longer be with you come next year.
You only get one chance at life. If you believe your feelings, friends, home, and family to be precious, you should cherish them.
Doing so may not eliminate your sorrow, but it will lessen your regret. Be mindful not to take your days for granted—live them well.
I look forward to the coming year, (Captain).

Yet another year has passed.
Time flows indifferently onward. It slips ever by, causing our emotions to fade, be they joy or sorrow.
Today is the start of a brand-new year. You should take this opportunity to reflect on your own deeds.
If you wish to continue moving forward, it is best not to dwell on yesterday...
But only a fool would choose to forget about the past in its entirety.
You are young. There is no way of knowing whether you will grasp a bright future or be plunged into bottomless despair.
Be sure to keep walking wisely, so that you do not stray from the path.

Aglovale (Yukata)

Aglovale and Tor

Aglovale: The new year is a time of celebration throughout the town, and an opportunity for a variety of cultures to shine.
Aglovale: I will be visiting the castle town for my inspection as usual, but in secret so as not to disturb the people.
Tor: Your garments have already been arranged. I myself will be changing into my civilian clothes shortly.
Aglovale: I see. Then I shall go complete my preparations.
Tor: Captain? Is something weighing on your mind?
Tor: Are we certain that he will not be discovered? As you may have guessed, with his notoriety, there is no doubt he will be found out.
Tor: No, we will indeed be going in disguise. If Lord Aglovale says that we are incognito, then no one will argue.
Tor: Even if the people in the city do in fact notice, they will go about business as usual. Although they may behave a little better than they would otherwise.
Tor: You are welcome to accompany us on the inspection, Gran, but I ask that you bear what I said in mind.

Tor: Happy New Year, (Captain).
Aglovale: I've got plenty of audiences scheduled for today. I suspect I won't be able to go on my annual inspection of the town until nightfall.
Tor: Your growing popularity among the people has made this new year quite a hectic one, Lord Aglovale.
Aglovale: I'm the head of the House of Wales. Garnering the people's favor is practically my duty.
Tor: I am afraid this agenda will eventually see you exhausted.
I will arrange a medicinal bath for you this evening so that you may properly relax.
Aglovale: As accommodating as always, aren't you, Tor. I'm sure this schedule has you as weary as I. You must prepare a special bath for yourself as well, I insist.
Tor: That will not be necessary, I—
Aglovale: When you're fatigued, you have a habit of pressing down on the right side of your neck. You're doing it right now, in fact.
Tor: You are... very perceptive, my lord.
Aglovale: Heh, quite ironic coming from you. It'd be odd if I didn't notice the mannerisms of a man who's always by my side.
Well then, (Captain), if you'd like to join me for inspections again this year, do come back later tonight.


Alanaan

Happy New Year, (Captain).
I don't mean to change the subject, but it looks like ya didn't manage to finish yer year-end cleanin'.
Sheesh... And after all the times I reminded ya.
Makin' everything spick-and-span is a great way to bring good fortune to a brand-new year.
Guess there's only one thing to do. I'll help ya clean up.
Ahahaha! Don't worry about it. I'm always lookin' for good deeds to do!

Mm, the life energy from the first sunrise o' the year is somethin' else.
Ahahaha! Wakin' up early was worth it, wasn't it, (Captain)?
Wait... Ya still asleep? Sheesh...
You know, yer sleepin' face is pretty adorable.
Well, I guess New Year's is the perfect time to be takin' it easy before we set back out on our perilous adventure.

Alanaan: Ahahaha! Me and (Captain) both pulled excellent luck!
Not like I'm praying to these gods, but maybe they'll at least watch over me while I try to do some good.
The Sun: ...
Alanaan: What's wrong? D-don't tell me...
The Sun: Hmph...
Alanaan: Whoa! H-hey, you crazy fool! You can't just burn up the fortune even if you pulled bad luck!
The Sun: Why do you care? Besides, my fortune was excellent luck too...
Alanaan: Uh... Sorry to say, but you can't lie for your life...

Alanaan: Phew, that's good! Nothing beats a New Year's drink in the middle of the day.
(Captain), you should give it a try once you're of age.
Nothing beats the bliss of feeling like you're getting away with something naughty, eh?
Hey, Sun. Are those snacks ready yet?
The Sun: To think I would be reduced to roasting dried squid...
Alanaan: For all yer complainin', you're doing it anyway. I'll treat you to some red bean soup later!
The Sun: You better. If you break your promise, I will roast you alive.
Alanaan: I won't forget, promise. Ah, but there is something I should do before I'm too drunk to remember...
Here's your New Year's money, Sun, (Captain). Go on, take it!

Alanaan: Whoa-ho! What beautiful handwriting you have, (Captain)!
The Sun: Um... So we just write our New Year's resolution on the paper like (Captain) did?
Alanaan: Yep, ya got that right. Also wouldn't hurt to include a song, poem, or any other pretty words ya might be thinkin'.
The Sun: Hm...
Alanaan: No need to think too hard on it either. Just jot down whatever springs to mind!
The Sun: Gah!
Alanaan: Wow... Now those are very bold and distinctive letters... What exactly did ya write though?
The Sun: New Year's money.
Alanaan: Ahahaha! That's definitely somethin' we could all use more of! All right, put yer hand out!


Albert

Are you having a nice New Year's, (Captain)?
It'll surely be electrifying.

Happy New Year, (Captain). I hope I can rely on you this year as I did last year.
Oof, my knees... Ah, the view from here is amazing...
Hm? Something on your mind?
What? No, I didn't say anything about my knees. You need to get your ears checked, (Captain).
Geez... We just started the new year. Can you give me a break with that old man stuff? I'm hurt...

Hello, (Captain). I'm gazing at the setting sun.
The first sunrise of the year is a thing to behold, but the same could be said of the first sunset, correct?
What's wrong, (Captain)? Come closer.
Come join me in watching as the sky turns a deep, dark blue.

Ah, (Captain)... Happy New Year...
No, nothing major happened. It's just that for my first dream of the year...
Everyone was calling me Old Man Sparky...
From the kids in town to Mina, Mona, Mena, Vyrn, and you...
I know the new year's only just started, but I'm not that old yet, am I?
Huh, you'll let me cry on your shoulder? Er, thanks, but no thanks. You're too kind, (Captain)...

(Captain)! Happy New Year! I'm eager to see what this one brings.
You think I seem more excited than usual?
Well, I was thinking the new year would be a good opportunity to start putting more energy into the things I say and do.
Oof, better sit down before my knees give out.
What! What do you mean I've only got the energy levels of an old man!
Come on... I'm sure even your knees get tired sometimes!
And here I was hoping the start of this year would be a good time to watch what I say and stop these old man jokes...
Hey, don't you think you're laughing just a little too much?

Alec

New Year's sure is great! Doesn't it get you excited?
It feels like no matter how bad anything was before, something great is definitely coming!
That's why I like it so much. So let's get crazy! Happy New Year!

Heya, (Captain)! I just can't wait to eat!
Eat what? That! That thing! That snack that's white and... squishy.
You know, the one everyone was eating last year!
Right, Mochi! Yeah! Those were so good. And they were fun to make together.
Well, what are we waiting for? I'll go get everyone in here.
You prep the cooking stuff!

(Captain), play with me!
We're gonna use rackets to swing this feathered ball.
I saw everyone else doin' it—figured I'd give it a shot too! I've got everything ready right here. C'mon, it'll be fun, (Captain)!
Hm? What am I doing wrong? Everyone else made it seem so easy...
Aw crud, you got me good! This is harder than it looks!
Sure was fun though, right? Hey, what's with that smirk, (Captain)?
Loser gets crayons all over their face? Hey, you're supposed to say that beforehand!
Ack, stop it! It tickles...
Humph, I bet you're doodling weird stuff all over my face!

(Captain)! Play with me again! Like last year!
But this time, nothing weird happens to the loser! Got it?
This year we battle with spinning tops! Here we go!
Gotcha! I win this one!
Haha! I win again!
...
Dang... There shoulda been a penalty for losing...

Whew, worked up a good sweat.
Ah, (Captain)! Happy New Year!
Heheh, I just finished up here. Nothing like a morning jog to get you going.
Especially on a New Year's morning. I'm always out of breath after a jog, but it feels so much better afterwards.
Wanna run with me, (Captain)? Then you'll know exactly what I mean!
But just going through the paces can get dull. What say we make it a race?
I'll show you that I can come out on top even in a race!
Okay then... Ready... Go!


Aletheia

Oh, (Captain)! I'm sorry for calling you out without much fair warning.
I was hoping... you could tell me about a few ways to enjoy the New Year's holiday.
As you know, I was never really able to celebrate the occasion with my family in any meaningful way.
So I was thinking that this would perhaps be a good opportunity to strengthen family ties.
With Teena and Lucius being fully-grown adults and all, I can't imagine they would be very open to the idea of playing around with their old man.
Assuming I'm right on that point, we can at least enjoy some sweet sake together.

Hrgh! Hah!
Hm, the mochi is starting to look nice and firm. We make quite the team, (Captain). Wouldn't have expected any less of you.
But that won't be all! We can make it even smoother, and even more satisfying to chew!
It may not be my place to say, but I'd very much like Lucius and Teena to try some of the mochi I made myself.
I was never one to do any impressive cooking, but I can still use my strength to at least make some treats for New Year's.
Though I don't know if something like this would make the two of them happy...
No, I must not be overcome by my lack of confidence—I am not my past self anymore. I'll make this mochi the most delectable it can be!
Come, (Captain)! Let us take up one more round!


Alexiel

Singularity. This is no time to be sleeping in.
We know not when a new threat to the world may arise. We must remain ever vigilant.
Now, let us watch the sun rise against the unending blue of the sky!
Is it not wonderful? This too is the doing of the primarchs. Since time immemorial the balance of the world has been—
Haha. Dozing off again now, are you? Oh, Singularity. Well, I suppose if you weren't this serene, you wouldn't be the captain we know and love.

Singularity, happy New Year. May the coming year be just as delightful.
So... Have you already decided, Singularity?
Haha, must you ask what?
I've heard that mortals welcome in a new year by choosing a resolution to follow through with.
Yet you've come up with nothing? How will you overcome the many trials and tribulations that await—
Or, perhaps, your willingness to stay true to yourself instead of trying to conform to any archetype may be your greatest strength, Singularity.
Hm, it seems I still have much to learn.

You mean this object called a fortune informs you of your luck for the year... Very well, then I shall draw a fortune for myself.
Let's take a look... Hm. Singularity, what does this fortune mean?
Haha. Are you telling me I have the worst luck for this year? I see...
Hmph!
What are you so surprised about, Singularity? It is not the fortune itself that I destroyed!
It is the weakness within my heart that caused me to think I could entrust my luck to a simple piece of paper.
No. I shall overcome the trials of this year with my own power!

So the first calligraphy of the year is reserved for writing your resolution and goals.
Interesting. Your strokes are large and bold. How very much like you.
Why are you shaking your head? It was a compliment. Your personality shines through the characters.
"To Estalucia"... Your goals are the crew's goals. We shall see you there, this I swear.
Now that that's out of the way, we should make preparations to depart. It won't do to laze the new year away!
Hm? I see. You wish to eat mochi soup before we go.
Haha, fair enough. You can't fight on an empty stomach.

Singularity! Happy New Year! May this year bless you with fortune and favor.
Speaking of which, hold out your hand. Go on.
What? Why are you looking at me so warily?
You... believe I am challenging you to a competition?
Considering the occasion, even I know enough to read the mood and refrain from such behavior...
Although if your caution is anything to judge by, perhaps my usual behavior has given you the opposite impression.
I must reconsider my day-to-day demeanor. Thank you for pointing it out. I shall work on this over the course of the year.
In any case, I asked for your hand only so you could receive your New Year's gift.
Please, take it.

Alistair

Ahh, yes yes. Happy New Year.
By the way, have you ever heard of New Year's money?
...
I can think of two possibilities here...
Possibility 1: I'm making a fool of you.
Possibility 2: you really are a fool.
Hmm, I wonder which it is.

How many times do I have to say it, (Captain)?
Idiot! Don't you get it? This should be common sense!
Suppose I ask you how many mochi you put in your New Year's soup. What would you say?
Two, mm-hm... But my mom would always put in three.
Why, you ask?
Mochi take a while to boil.
And way too often, while enjoying the soup...
We crave a third mochi, even if we only requested two to begin with.
That is the average person's train of thought. And that's why my mother would always put in a third mochi unannounced.
Yes, this is known as the Mochi Paradox—the aporia that has long taken the academic world by storm.
Got that all down? Good. Now put in another mochi, pronto, (Captain)!

Yes, I'm well aware. Happy New Year.
But really now, (Captain)? You're getting so excited simply because a new year's started...
Even though only a single moment separates last year from this one.
Do you mean to say that something changed in the instant that divides the two?
More often than not, one's sleeping at the start of the new year anyway.
Hm? You mean to tell me that you were awake?
No, no, don't take me for a child. It's not that I couldn't stay awake that late. I was simply ordered to bed by my mother...
Isn't that well and good though? It's the start of a new year. Let's leave the past in the past!

Happy New Year.
What? That was sudden... You want to know if I've decided on a New Year's resolution?
Please... Resolutions are extremely important. I'm never without one.
Seriously... We're at the start of a brand new year. The least you could do is pull yourself together a bit more.
I know! This year, I'll see if you actually live up to your resolutions—think of it as a special favor.
Hehe. And that will be my resolution for this year.

Challenging me to a round of badminton?
That's kids stuff. Playing around on New Year's Day doesn't suit me.
Oh, you think I'm afraid of losing, huh? I'll show you who's gonna lose when you challenge the mind of Alistair Alethea!
Great. Now you've gone and made me say that, so I have to back it up. Come on, let's get this game going already!
What? If I lose, you get to draw all over my face? Erm...
Shut up! I just have to win! Don't try to get into my head!


Aliza

Happy New Year!
I want to come flying out of the gate this year like you wouldn't believe!
Hm, I wonder how strong I'll be able to get by next year?
Of course, I'll gladly train with you, Captain!

A whole new year, a whole new me! Say, (Captain), what's your resolution for this year?
What? Haven't decided yet? Oh, come on, you've gotta have a New Year's resolution!
Me? To get stronger of course!
Huh? It's the same as every other year's?
S-so what!

Happy New Year! And full speed ahead to the south!
Hehe, I opened up a fortune cookie and it said to go south. That's why I'm gonna sprint south as far as I can.
You wanna join me, (Captain)?
Yay! Off we go then!
Hm? What's with all the clamor?
Ah! Over there, (Captain)! Look, they're holding a festival!
I had no idea a New Year's festival was being held so close to home! I guess I hit the jackpot in a way with that fortune cookie!
Hehe, I can already tell this is gonna be one fantastic year!

Happy New Year!
Huh? Are you still half-asleep?
Well, I guess it's still before sunrise, so it's a bit earlier than usual.
But we can't waste time like this! We gotta get started on our first practice of the year!
Come on! Let's run up to the top of that mountain. If we start now, we should be able to get there in time for the sunrise!
No problem! I know we can both do it!
Huh? You wanna race all the way to the top? Good idea!
All right, then let's do it.
Ready... Go!

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
I had a crazy dream last night! I felt my mind, skill, and body get really in tune, so I made a sharp kick and split an entire island in two!
Since that was my first dream of the year, that must mean I'm gonna get a lot stronger this year, right?
Aww, it would be so cool if I could actually do that! It'd feel so good!
Well, I guess we'd be in trouble if the island fell apart...
Still, I'm gonna use that as motivation and keep working hard in my training!
If you have some time, let's go train together, (Captain)! How about it?

Alliah

You want to hear my goals for this year?
Now that I think about it, aside from kingdom and organizational-related goals, I haven't decided what to do personally.
Istavion celebrates the new year like anywhere else. All I remember is being busy during that entire period.
If I had to come up with a resolution, perhaps it would be to finally conquer you this year.
Heh... That was a joke. Don't take it seriously.
At least not yet.

Do you remember the resolution I made last year? About how I would conquer you?
Was I successful? Have you finally fallen under my spell?
What? You assumed I was joking?
Hm... True, I vaguely remember trying to pass off my resolution as a joke...
It's too late to turn back the clock, but I was actually being serious. I only called it a joke to hide my embarrassment.
It has always been my intention over the past year to carefully but firmly wind you around my finger...
I see. Even that sounds like a joke to you. No wonder it feels like there's still a wall between us.
This year I'm going to focus on wearing down your defenses. I dare you to resist.

Regarding the resolution I made last year to wind you around my finger...
Don't you think it's time we built a new home for the two of us?
Calm down. I was merely making a joke.
You're still on your journey, thus this ship is essentially your home.
In that case, what do you say to shopping for new furniture?
The dawning of a new period in life necessitates new furnishings.
Take a look at this catalog. I've already circled items that caught my eye.
It would be nice if they matched your preferences, but if not... pretend they do.

Are you familiar with New Year's prayers, (Captain)?
One of the more common ones is for household stability. Quite a noble wish, don't you think?
As you'd imagine, it's particularly popular among families.
...
On that note, I was thinking that we should go pray for household stability at a shrine.
The fate of not only Istavion, but all of the skies rests on our house's shoulders after all.
I don't know how effective such a prayer would be, but I'm sure it can't hurt.
You'll come with me, won't you? Just give me a moment to get ready.


Almeida

Happy New Year! This is my first time celebrating the new year from the skies! I just love the breeze up here.
It sure is cold, though. Valtz is warm all year round, so I never thought to buy a coat.
You won't find me using a hand warmer though; the Valtz in me won't allow it!
I sure could use a sweater though, Captain.

Yaaawn... So sleepy... Ah, happy New Year. Hoo boy, was last night a doozy.
We had a girls-only pajama party in Io's room. It was fun and all, but...
Halfway through, the conversation started to shift to me... Then they just kept firing questions at me left and right. Almost felt like an interrogation.
They asked me things... Things I wish they didn't...
Brrr! I think I need to go take a bath!

Happy, happy New Year!
Last year was full of so many ups and downs, but we're still kicking!
I'll put everything I have into making the perfect weapon this year too!
What about you, (Captain)? What are your plans?
If there's anything I can help you with, let me know!

Happy New Year, (Captain)! Lookin' forward to another fun-filled year together!
So I overheard some people saying how the decisions you make today sets the tone for the rest of the year. That's when I had an "aha" moment.
I'm gonna pound the anvil with all I got today! That'll get me closer to forging the perfect weapon!
Ever seen sparks scatterin' like snowflakes on a New Year's day? Now that's different!
Hey, if you're not busy, why don't you come watch me work? Having a buddy around really gets my hammer going!

Hiya, (Captain). Happy New—yawn—Year.
Sorry, sorry. I haven't gotten any shut-eye since yesterday.
They say today sets the tone for the rest of the year, so I wanted to get started right from the very beginning!
I spent all of last night forging a weapon... Yawn...
But thanks to my efforts, we now have an awesome mallet for pounding mochi!
This year's mochi is gonna taste out of this world! Hehe, can't wait to grab a piece!

Altair

New Year's Day is the key to the new year, they say.
Now then, (Captain)... How would you like to spend the day?

Happiness comes to those who smile, you say?
This airship is always filled with smiles and laughter, so happiness will surely find its way to all of us here.
Hm? You think I should smile more?
But I've been complimented on how my range of expressions has grown a great deal...
I could give it a try. I'll make it one of my new year's resolutions!

Happy New Year. I look forward to another year of traveling together.
Happiness comes to those who smile. I've taken your words to heart and strived to improve over the past year.
Hm? What's that?
My face looks... scary?
I practiced smiling so I could give you a cheerful New Year's greeting...
But smiling seems to be trickier than I thought.

Happy New Year, (Captain).
For you to be up so early in the morning must mean you're eager to see the first sunrise of the year.
Yes, me too. The special occasion makes it worth viewing, I suppose.
But just as willows are green and flowers are red—as the saying goes, the rising sun is no different on any other day.
Yet we give meaning to this one particular sunrise of the year.
Strange how people think, isn't it? Perhaps not everything can be explained by logic alone.

Happy New Year, (Captain). I'm looking forward to another year of traveling with you.
I'm glad we can spend the first day of this year together as well.
Hm? What is it, (Captain)? I... smiled, you say? I wasn't aware of it myself...
Heh, I see. It's true that I feel at ease next to you.
Who would have thought that putting on a smile—something I'd struggled with before—would be so simple?
Overthinking it may have pushed me down a longer path instead. But now, I can finally set a new goal for myself.
Yes, for example... To spend the first day of next year with you like this once again. How's that?
Our journey to the end of the skies is certainly a hard and dangerous one, but I will do my best as strategist to ensure that we can celebrate another new year together.

Amelia

Happy New Year!
I'm about to head out for some training. My father always told me never to skip out on my daily routine, especially when it's the holidays...
Besides, I don't feel comfortable slacking off anyway!
(Captain)? What's with the long face? Were you... about to ask me to join you on your first shrine visit of the year?
I was spot on, huh? Let's go right now, then! I can just train later!
It's fine, trust me! My father also told me that a knight must always put their comrades above all else!
Oh! You'll train with me once we come back from the shrine?
All right! I always make progress when I practice with you, so thanks!

Amira

Happy New Year!
Mmm! This tastes great! I love the new year!
Rackam! Katalina! I want more food! Gimme more meat!

...
I won't be drinking this year. Last year I got an earful for making too much noise.
So I'll be nice and quiet this year. You keep it down too, (Captain).
Food? I guess I'll have some... quietly.

Hap... Happy New Year.
We're only supposed to eat the new year food after wishing everyone a good year. So I came to wish you well.
Katalina! I wished everyone a good year! Can I eat now?
She said to bring you along! Hurry! I'm hungry!

Mmm, these New Year's dishes look so good. There's all kinds of different bites to try.
But each portion is tiny... I can't get full on just these.
Grrr...
Huh? I can have all of yours, (Captain)?
Yaay, thanks! This is awesome! So awesome!
Oh yeah, let's go for a walk in town after this, (Captain).
There'll be lots of food stands since it's New Year's.
I'll show you the yummy hot spots as thanks for your food. So keep giving me more when you can.

Hey, (Captain). Care if I get started eating this New Year's soup?
Thanks. Let's dig in!
Nom, nom... More!
Nom, nom, nom... More!
Nom, nom... Ngh!
Cough! Cough, cough! Ack, I had mochi stuck in my throat.
I shouldn't eat it too quickly?
Got it! Next time I'll pace myself.


Amira (Promo)

Happy New Year!
Mmm! This tastes great! I love the new year!
Rackam! Katalina! I want more food! Gimme more meat!

...
I won't be drinking this year. Last year I got an earful for making too much noise.
So I'll be nice and quiet this year. You keep it down too, (Captain).
Food? I guess I'll have some... quietly.

Hap... Happy New Year.
We're only supposed to eat the new year food after wishing everyone a good year. So I came to wish you well.
Katalina! I wished everyone a good year! Can I eat now?
She said to bring you along! Hurry! I'm hungry!

Mmm, these New Year's dishes look so good. There's all kinds of different bites to try.
But each portion is tiny... I can't get full on just these.
Grrr...
Huh? I can have all of yours, (Captain)?
Yaay, thanks! This is awesome! So awesome!
Oh yeah, let's go for a walk in town after this, (Captain).
There'll be lots of food stands since it's New Year's.
I'll show you the yummy hot spots as thanks for your food. So keep giving me more when you can.

Hey, (Captain). Care if I get started eating this New Year's soup?
Thanks. Let's dig in!
Nom, nom... More!
Nom, nom, nom... More!
Nom, nom... Ngh!
Cough! Cough, cough! Ack, I had mochi stuck in my throat.
I shouldn't eat it too quickly?
Got it! Next time I'll pace myself.

(Captain), have you decided on your New Year's resolution already?
Deciding on a resolution can help point you in a certain direction and strengthen your will.
To me, you are still quite young, (Captain). I'm sure you have many things to think about at your age.
It is not a bad thing to be uncertain. But a resolution can prove helpful in clearing your uncertainties.
Your own decisions will never betray you—I believe this to be something important to bear in mind.
In other words, be true to yourself. Keep this sentiment close to your heart.

(Captain), is the first sweat of a new year not invigorating?
Only just earlier, Yngy had proposed a match between us, you see—a friendly battle to bring in the new year.
It resulted in my loss, but though I may be an old man now, I was so absorbed in it. I felt as if I'd returned to my childhood.
So you see, there are times when it is best to forget one's duties and take some pleasure in life.
You, too, bear a great burden as captain, but such constant strain cannot be sustained by the mind and body.
If you wish it, I shall serve as your sparing mate as much as you'd like. It would be my pleasure to aid you.


Andira

Hmm? What is it? Oh, it is New Year's already?
So what's going on? I'm still so sleepy... I was up late last night.
Well, I guess it's not so bad having this kinda day once a year.
I'm looking forward to this next year with you, Captain. Happy New Year. And good night.

Happy New Year, (Captain). Looks like another great year is ahead of us.
Hey... Why are you looking at me like that?
What? You want to make sure I'm gonna do it right this year?
Last year was just a coincidence! A sleep fairy put me to sleep!
Huh? You want to hear more about this sleep fairy? Well, I don't have to explain it to you!
Gulp... Anyway, as you can see, I'm doing just fine. You could even call me a shining example of how to stay awake!
Stop looking at me like that! I'm not even sleepy at all!
If you're so worried about me, you can keep standing there staring! I'm not going to sleep!

I challenge you to a New Year's badminton duel! I'll serve... Oh, the loser gets their face drawn on!
Yah!
Take that!
Whoa, too far...
Aw... I missed!
Alternating from left to right... That's no fair. How am I supposed to get there in time?
Fiiine, go ahead and draw on my face already.
Grr... If it's come to this, I'll just use my trusty staff as a paddle.
Take this! Haha, easy! Gotcha! Yah!
All right! I won, I won!
Hahaha! What do you mean, this isn't fair? I just leveled the playing field.
Hee-hee... Now what should I draw on you...

(Captain), do you know what day it is today? Right! It's New Years!
What's your New Year's resolution? How do you want to spend this year?
How about you tell me all about it? And then whenever you see my face, you'll be reminded of all you want to accomplish.
I'll always be by your side, so don't worry about me leaving!
My New Year's resolution is to always be with you, (Captain)!
Hehe... That'll make it so both of us accomplish our goals! Two birds, one stone!

Mm... Zzz...
Yawn... Is that you, (Captain)?
Happy New Year. Let's hang out lots, okay?
You wanna go to the shrine? Oh yeah, we did promise to... Zzz... Zzz...
Did ya wait long? Come on, we gotta get to the shrine! What's the holdup?
What, no! That sleepy-head's the clone. Like I'd be snoozin' away the New Year's!
(Captain) walks up to the sleeping Andira and whispers something into her ear.
Yawn... How'd you know I was the real thing?
Mm... All right, I got it. But you gotta give me a piggy-back the whole way.
Teehee. Your back's so warm and cozy, (Captain)!

Ange

Happy New Year!
What? There's a New Year's card for me? But who would... Oh, Julian!
It's from Julian! Haha, looks like he's in good spirits.

Happy New Year!
I got my fortune just now. Do you know what it means?
Hmm... "Outlook looks very good."
So it's saying I'll have good luck, right?
I see. Then that means I can look forward to my princess of destiny!
You think I should wait for the right moment? Now what's that supposed to mean, (Captain)?

Happy New Year, (Captain)! It's going to be a good one.
New Year's is a time of festivities, a time when beautiful ladies dress in their best. Sadly there are also scoundrels with leery eyes.
Let's go, (Captain)! We have a duty to patrol the streets and protect innocent princesses from knaves!
And since we'd already be out for a walk, we can enjoy the sights and sounds of the new year!

Ah, yes, the dawn of another new year! Let us celebrate a new chapter in our lives together!
No, that's not quite right...
The new year begins only after I've celebrated this momentous occasion with you!
Hm, I'm not sure that gets the idea across...
(Captain)! Come with me to—
Ah, (Captain)! H-how long have you been standing there?
From the start? Oh no... I can't believe you saw me practicing...
Please forget everything you just saw and come with me for a New Year's shrine visit! Quickly now!

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
Have you decided what you'll be doing first this year? If not, then allow me to escort you on the first day...
Huh? The crew's having a mochi-pounding contest?
W-well, I suppose neglecting duties within the crew wouldn't be very princely. And fresh mochi is delicious...
I have no reason to refuse. A refined invitation indeed!
Just what I'd expect from you, (Captain)! I just can't say no to you, can I?
Then I shall honor your invitation and leave the escorting to you this time around! Next time, however, it'll be my turn.
Well, that's settled, so let's get going! I challenge you to a bout of who can make the best mochi!

Anila

Heheh... When I think about spending the new year with all of you...
It's like I'm all filled up with warmth and happiness! This year will surely be special with you!

Now then, it seems we've made it to another new year!
You could say we were busy with all kinds of cleaning at end of the year to sweep in the new one!
Ahem... People come together with friends and family in order to welcome the new year.
In other words, creating joy and warmth with people you love invites a new spirit of good fortune for the new year.
But enough with the speeches...
Now let's celebrate, everyone! It's time to share a feast together!
Heheh... How is it? How is it? Isn't it delicious?

I made you some homemade dishes again this year, (Captain)! Just look! These are my best creations yet!
Heh-heh-heh! You look very pleased... I'd venture to say that you're captivated by this feast!
No need to rush though! Now, hand me a plate. I'll fill it up nice and neat for you, okay?
Some shrimp for your health and longevity, some golden mashed potatoes for wealth, and some herring roe—but not for lots of offspring! It's so our crew gets bigger and bigger!
Now, now, don't be shy! Eat until your heart's content!
When your tummy's nice and full, let's go see the festival at the shrine together!

Ah, I can start to see the altar from here. Looks like all this waiting in line will soon pay off!
By the way, are you familiar with the customs and practices to uphold when visiting a temple?
First, you make a light bow before entering the gate.
Then, once you've cleansed your mind and body with the temple's water, give your thanks before the altar and ring the bell.
Hehe! And that's all there is to it!
Ah, and let's not forget to go right home after the visit.
Wouldn't want to let that thankfulness go to waste—gotta bring all those thanks and blessings straight back home.
And, besides, you can taste some of my delicious New Year's cooking!
Hehe. Are you looking forward to it that much? Oh, you're adorable!
All right, it's our turn to go up! Hehe, what are you going to wish for?

Hup! Hup!
Hehe, it seems we're settling into a good rhythm for making mochi.
This reminds me... Did you know that in my hometown, we believe sacred spirits inhabit grains of rice?
When we use that rice to make mochi on a special occasion, we receive some of that sacred power.
In doing so, we can infuse a year's worth of well-wishes for friends and loved ones into the mochi.
Well, there are a few complicated details I didn't mention, but the most important takeaway here is that we should enjoy the mochi-making process!
Hehe, let's keep everyone's health and good fortune in mind as we keep pounding away! Now work those muscles!

Nightmare: Yo, Captain! You ready to party like there's no tomorrow?
Anna: (Captain)... Um, if you have some time for the New Year's party...
Huh, really? Yay! But wait... I, erm...
Not with everyone... But just you, me, and Nightmare...

(Captain)... My grandma always said that plans for the following year start on New Year's...
So I, umm, I...
I wanted to be the first to wish you a happy New Year!
I... I hope I get to travel with you this year too, (Captain)...
Ch-cheers...

Anna: H-h-happy New Year!
Um... I hope that was the best one you heard today?
Nightmare: Heck, you stayed up all night waitin' to say it! Course it was the best!
Anna: N-Nightmare... Erm, it's not a big deal...
I just wanted to be (Captain)'s best...
Because I want to be with (Captain) this year too!
That's my way of wishing for good luck...
I... I'll be here to give you the best New Year's wish next year too, so...
Here's to another good year!

Mmm... Zzz...
Mmm... (Captain)...
Huh!
(Captain)!
Uh, h-h-how come you're here, (Captain)...
Oh... That's right... I wanted to wish you a happy New Year's...
And I wanted to do it before anyone else, so I stayed up all night...
But I couldn't keep waiting, and I fell asleep...
Mmm... I wanted to be your first...
Huh? You came looking for me because I didn't show up?
Really? I can still be the first to send you New Year's wishes?
I, uh... That makes me so happy!
Thank you, (Captain)...
Um, happy New Year. Hope this year's a great one!

(Captain)... H-happy New Year!
U-um... I decided on my New Year's resolution already!
I'm going to... make everyone I meet smile!
I-I'm not very good at talking, but at least I can help others with magic!
Just like you always help me and make me smile...
I-it might take me a while, but I'll do my best to keep going this year, the year after that, and the year after that!

So I, umm, I...
I wanted to be the first to wish you a happy New Year!
I... I hope I get to travel with you this year too, (Captain)...
Ch-cheers...

Anna: H-h-happy New Year!
Um... I hope that was the best one you heard today?
Nightmare: Heck, you stayed up all night waitin' to say it! Course it was the best!
Anna: N-Nightmare... Erm, it's not a big deal...
I just wanted to be (Captain)'s best...
Because I want to be with (Captain) this year too!
That's my way of wishing for good luck...
I... I'll be here to give you the best New Year's wish next year too, so...
Here's to another good year!

Mmm... Zzz...
Mmm... (Captain)...
Huh!
(Captain)!
Uh, h-h-how come you're here, (Captain)...
Oh... That's right... I wanted to wish you a happy New Year's...
And I wanted to do it before anyone else, so I stayed up all night...
But I couldn't keep waiting, and I fell asleep...
Mmm... I wanted to be your first...
Huh? You came looking for me because I didn't show up?
Really? I can still be the first to send you New Year's wishes?
I, uh... That makes me so happy!
Thank you, (Captain)...
Um, happy New Year. Hope this year's a great one!

(Captain)... H-happy New Year!
U-um... I decided on my New Year's resolution already!
I'm going to... make everyone I meet smile!
I-I'm not very good at talking, but at least I can help others with magic!
Just like you always help me and make me smile...
I-it might take me a while, but I'll do my best to keep going this year, the year after that, and the year after that!


Anna (SSR)

Nightmare: Yo, Captain! You ready to party like there's no tomorrow?
Anna: (Captain)... Um, if you have some time for the New Year's party...
Huh, really? Yay!
But wait... I, erm...
Not with everyone... But just you, me, and Nightmare...

(Captain)... My grandma always said that plans for the following year start on New Year's...

Anne

New Year's Day is great isn't it? Starting the year off with a resolution is just perfect.
I guess my goal for the year is to get even better at my magic!
If I can do that, maybe I can keep even more people safe.
I don't want to put anyone at Mysteria Academy in harm's way ever again.
Say, (Captain). What's your New Year's resolution?

(Captain), happy New Year!
Do you have time after this?
Grea, Owen, and I are going to visit a temple!
Would you like to come with us?
Choose: Of Course.
Okay, just you wait! I'll go get them right this instant!
Oh! I forgot to say the most important thing!
(Captain), let's make this the best year ever!

(Captain), happy New Year! Are you excited? Because I sure am!
Speaking of, have you decided on a resolution yet?
Me? Yeah, I'm going to read three spellbooks a day... I think.
The plan's to keep studying magic until I'm strong—strong enough to protect everyone!
So, what's your resolution, (Captain)?

Mmm! New Year's morning is always so nice, isn't it?
Look, the sky's blue as far as the eye can see! Almost feels like you could just dive forward and swim in it!
That's an omen for a good year, if I've ever seen one!
Even if we get bombarded with requests and other stuff while we fly around! We can handle it all!
Woo-hoo!

Oh, (Captain)! This is perfect! Owen's not with you, is he?
Phew. That's good.
Choose: Something wrong?
Kinda... Father told me to return home to the kingdom.
But I promised Grea and some others I'd hang out with them for New Year's.
I told my parents I couldn't come back for a visit.
That's when Father ordered Owen to bring me home no matter what.
Now I've been avoiding Owen ever since...
Wait, is that him?
Sorry, (Captain)! I gotta go!
Oh, I almost forgot to wish you a happy new year.
Well, happy New Year, (Captain)! I'm sure we'll have lots of fun together as always! See ya!


Anne (Light)

Happy New Year, (Captain).
Have you decided on your resolution yet?
It's important to decide early. You only get one per year, so you may as well make your resolution a challenging one.
Of course, what matters most of all is achieving whatever resolution you set for yourself.
The point of the exercise is to grow. As long as you continue moving forward, a brighter future awaits you.

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
Have you received your New Year's fortune yet?
It is a new year after all... It'd be a wise choice to begin with a fresh state of mind and some newfound guidance.
Me? Way ahead of you. Haha, I'll be having super good luck this year, it seems!
So I made a wish. I wished for good fortune to all people across the skies.
And that all of us could live together in harmony.
Heh-heh... With super good luck, it's only reasonable that I spread my fortune, right?
Wishing for all of that may have been a bit much, but it's truly what I yearn for.

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
(Captain), have you ever eaten osechi?
Osechi's many dishes each have a special wish mixed into them.
Some health, some prosperity, and some longevity... The wishes are as plentiful as the dishes are diverse.
Although the hope sewn into each item may seem trivial...
I believe those wishes are the first small steps toward peace.
I have actually prepared some osechi, would you like some?
What if we eat while talking about a peaceful world?

Happy New Year, (Captain).
Hmm... I got up relatively early myself...
But the line at the shrine has already gotten quite long, it seems.
Still, there's no need for haste. Why don't we enjoy some slow conversation as we wait for our turn?
Hm? What will I be praying for at the shrine, you ask?
For health and prosperity, of course. I hope we'll receive many requests and prosper as a crew this year.
When I was young, I often went for a visit to the shrine on New Year's with my parents. As they were merchants, we always prayed for these two particular things.
Making a prayer and setting new resolutions... These can most definitely shape how the new year will be for you.
That is what I was taught long ago, and it is something I've come to understand and treasure even now.
Oh? You'd like to try doing the same? Then let us make our prayers together.

Haha, it's rare to see you sleep in until this time on New Year's Day. Did you enjoy the festivities until late last night?
I do think it's nice to relax during New Year's from time to time.
The long hours of celebration are proof of how close you've become to the many friends you've made on your journey.
And that is, without a doubt, the fruit of your honest personality.
After all, the people around you are mirrors—they reflect who you are.
It is clear that you care about your friends very much. I hope you will always stay this way, (Captain).


Anthuria

Happy New Year. Let's make this another wonderful year, (Captain).
What's my resolution? Good question. To keep giving everything one-hundred percent, I guess.
That includes dance... and you, of course. Hee hee... I hope you're ready to buckle up.
I'm pretty passionate when I'm giving it my all, you know.

Hey, (Captain). I know the day's just started, but I have something to ask of you.
Can you come with me to the shrine on this island later?
I'm actually into traditional dance...
And I want you to see me when I'm dancing...
Oh, you'll come along? Perfect!
Teehee. Don't blink when I start, (Captain).
I'll put on my best dance for you.
You won't regret coming with me.

Cough... Happy New Year, (Captain).
I... think I caught a cold... I feel awful...
It's okay... It's nothing more than a little bug. If I get some rest, I'll be okay in no time.
Choose: I'll be your nurse.
Huh? Really?
Thank you, (Captain)!
Hehe... Nurse (Captain)... This might be the best New Year's present ever...

Hello, (Captain). Happy New Year.
Why are you on the deck this early?
Me? I wanted to watch the first sunrise of the year.
I heard that you can make a wish on it, so...

  • Choose: I hope your wish comes true.
    Thank you! Hearing you say that makes me want to try even harder from now on.
  • Choose: What are you wishing for?
    I-it's a secret!

Hey, (Captain). There's still a little bit of time before the sun rises, right?
Um... Will you chat with me until it's here?
Thank you. Hehe. Being able to spend time alone with you so soon into the new year...
I have a feeling it's going to be a good one.

Oh, (Captain)! Are you here again to see the first sunrise of the year?
Hehe, me too. I didn't think I'd be able to watch the sunrise with you on New Year's two years in a row... I'm so lucky.
Huh? Why, you ask?
Because it means we can spend time together, right from the beginning of the year... all night until the morning.
Nothing could make me happier.
It's pretty cold, isn't it? (Captain), move closer to me.
You're so warm, (Captain)... Can we stay like this until the sun comes up?
I want to keep you all to myself, even if it's only for a little while...

Aoidos

Happy New Year. I suppose you're still young enough to be a kid, aren't you? Let's give you something good.
We've got some rupies leftover from our gig, and we were thinking about handing them out to the kids. For each kid, I guess that'd be about... 1 million rupies.
Hmm? That's too much? Now that can't be. You could only buy a single house with that, maybe two.

Happy New Year to you, Captain. Our show is about to start. Are you coming?
What? You haven't heard? We're holding a special gig to ring in the new year.
Well, we'd better hurry. My fans can't wait to see me!

Good morning. The sun hasn't risen yet, but happy New Year.
I'm sorry to do this so early in the day, but I have something urgent to ask of you. I'm having a special New Year performance and I need someone on the tambourine.
That's when I thought of you. You have the perfect look for the role.
Not to worry, I'll guide you though all you need to know. There's only half a day left until the performance, but we'll get you ready and practiced even if it kills you!

Congratulations. You get to stick with me again for another year.
I have an idea for this year's pilgrimage. I want you to be our concert narrator. Just recite these lines during the show.
O bewitching envoy from the circles of hell. Grant me despair, solitude, and aristocracy.
Simple, right? Try to give me a low guttural vocal, like a growling dog. A loop for a minute and a half should do.
Let's rock this! We can't wait to see how you up the dose!

Phew... Time for a break.
Hm? What am I writing so early in the year?
A talk column for the Dosse. I'm going to show them what goes on behind the scenes at a gig. Like the other day, Shados and I...
Hah. Good try. You'll have to read the column to find out what happens. It's gonna come out next month.
Huh? You're not part of my fan club yet?
I get it. You're not the type to watch backstage. I admire that pathos.


Arriet

Happy New Year.
I hear that in a certain land, they celebrate the new year by playing special music using something called a... Hmm, what was it called again?
It's sort of like a harp but has a much stronger, disciplined sound...
Ah, Koto? Yes, I think that's it. Haha, I can't believe I forgot that.

Happy New Year, (Captain). Would you like to go out to town and visit a nearby temple?
Nothing feels better than immersing yourself in the serene atmosphere of a temple on a fresh New Year's day.
Well, come on then. Let's not start your new year off cooped up in bed.

Happy New Year, (Captain).
Hm? You want a New Year's present? All right, but you have to listen to a song first!
...
Hehe. How was it? It was a song about a man who gave up material wealth to seek holiness.
Oh? You don't need that present anymore? But I got it just for you...

Happy New Year, (Captain).
I hope you've been keeping warm?
Catching a cold today wouldn't be the best way to start the new year.
Huh? Me? Now that you ask, I do feel a bit cold in this outfit.
Is that your way of saying you have a coat ready for me as a present?
Haha, just kidding. But it sure would be nice to go shopping in town today though.
Care to come with me, (Captain)? Haha. C'mon, it'll be fun.

Cough, cough... Oh, (Captain). Happy New Year.
I'm sorry. I seem to have caught a cold...
I wouldn't want to pass it on to anyone, so I'll go back to my room now.
Huh? You'll look after me? A-are you sure?
Hehe, thank you. To be honest, it's nice to have someone around when you're sick.
I'm really glad you offered.
Will you stay by my side until I fall asleep, (Captain)?
Please?


Arthur

Happy New Year!
I was just talking with Mordred and the guys about our resolutions for the coming year.
Mordred got the top spot in last year's general evaluation, so I'm thinking of gunning for first in the swordfighting exam!
I sent the sister a letter about Mordred being first in the class, and she was so happy...
That made me want to work even harder so I can give her some good news too!
Oh, but I'm not aiming to become captain just for her or anything. It's because I'm a proud knight of Feendrache!
Heh! In fact, I'm gonna go train now so I can be one step closer to achieving my goal!
Wanna join me, (Captain)?

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
Huh? You seem kinda off today. Are you sleepy or something?
Ooh, you were up late partying last night? So that's why you look a little bleary-eyed!
Oh! In that case, I'll do the thing Mordred always does to me! Can you turn around?
I just take a mint leaf like this, and then...
Yeaaah! Wakey-wakeeey!
Heh! The smell of mint reminded me of that little trick, and I just had to!
But it worked, didn't it? I'll do it for you again if you ever have trouble waking up in the morning!

Hmm...
Oh! Happy New Year, (Captain)!
Huh? It looked like something was bothering me? Yeah, I should've known you'd notice...
So the thing is, I got New Year's money from the ol' grannies in town again this year, and that got me thinking...
When it's my turn to hand out New Year's money someday, will I be able to do it?
After all... that's a lot of money we're talking about!
I wonder if I ought to start saving up now... I could put away this New Year's money too. No, that would defeat the purpose...
Argh! What should I do?
What do you think, (Captain)?


Arthur (Event)

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
Have you come up with a New Year's resolution yet?
My resolution this year is to beat Mordred!
We're always competing with each other in all kinds of things, but it always ends up being even...
But not this year—this is the year I come out on top!

Happy New Year, (Captain).
Even though the whole town seems to be taking it easy for New Year's Day, there's a certain excitement in the air.
It's a strange feeling.
But all the Dragon Knights can't take the same day off, even if it is New Year's.
We've gotta defend the peace and protect the King himself after all!
Can't slack off just 'cause it's a holiday!

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
Thanks so much for taking care of me last year! I'll try not to bother you as much this year!
Can I tell you what my resolution is? I'm gonna score higher than Mordred on our tests!
I stink at tests, so if can do better than him, I'll be the winner overall!
So basically what I'm saying is... Please help me study!

Huff, huff... (Captain)! Happy New Year!
I... accidentally slept in...
For some reason, Mordred decided to give up trying to wake me this morning!
I know I'm the one to blame since I'm so bad with mornings, but Mordred always comes to wake me up, so...
Sometimes I just need more time!
Ah, darn it! I gotta go!
Vice-Captain Vane said he's making some "cute little dishes" today for New Year's!
If I don't hurry, they're gonna eat everything before I get there! Come on, you should hurry too if you want some, (Captain)!

Happy New Year!
Heh, I woke up all on my own this year. Aren't you proud of me?
Mordred really pulled one over on me last year, so I made sure to go to bed early this time.
Vice-Captain Vane's gonna be treating us to some New Year's goodies again. I'm about to head that way now.
Oh, right! He actually invited you too.
Sorry I almost forgot to tell you... But what do you say? Wanna come along?
Woohoo, nice! Then let's get a move on!


Arthur and Mordred

Mordred: Did you decide on your New Year's resolutions, (Captain)?
Arthur: Back at the orphanage, we'd all get together on New Year's Day and share our goals for the year.
Mordred: We always made a big occasion of it.
Arthur: My goal is to be the best at swordplay out of the Dragon Knights in our age group.
Mordred: Including me, huh?
Arthur: You betcha!
Mordred: Heh. Good luck.
Arthur: What about you?
Mordred: I wanna score a hit off Vane in a sparring match!
Arthur: Whoa! That's so cool!

Mordred: Happy New Year, (Captain).
Arthur: (Captain)...
Mumble... Snooze...
Mordred: Hey! Wake up! You're acting rude in front of (Captain)!
Arthur: Mwuh? Oh... Happy... New... Snore...
Mordred: Ugh. I guess I'll have to use a minty leaf as a last resort and force you awake!
Arthur: Haaaappy New Yeeeaaarrr!
Mordred: Sigh. You're finally up.
I'm sorry you had to see such a display of lethargy to kick off the new year. I look forward to another great year with you.
Arthur: Let's have a fun one this year!

Arthur: Hah!
Mordred: You're wide open! Take this!
Arthur: Ergh... Not so fast!
Mordred: Oh! Wait, Arthur!
Arthur: Nope! No time-outs!
Mordred: Listen to me! It's (Captain)...
Arthur: Huh? (Captain)?
Mordred: (Captain), Happy New Year.
Arthur: Happy New Year! Sorry I didn't notice you there!
Mordred: We were having our first spar of the year.
Arthur: The result of this match could affect things for the rest of the year...
Mordred: Well, that's kind of an exaggeration... We were definitely going all out though.
But now that you're here...
(Captain)! Have a spar with me!
Arthur: Hey! That's not fair, we're not done yet!
Mordred: Haha! (Captain) comes first!
I'm glad you came to find us so early in the new year! I'll be counting on you!
Arthur: Me too! I'm counting on you!

Arthur: Huff... Puff...
Y-you win, (Captain)...
Mordred: Huff... Puff...
We can't even beat you two on one...
Arthur: I thought I'd improved a little since you trained with us last year, but I guess not...
Mordred: Wonder what sets (Captain) so apart from us? Feels like there's more to it than just experience.
Arthur: Yeah, I get what you mean. Think it comes down to a difference in talent?
Mordred: That can't be all it is. You've got to factor in stuff like effort, commitment, and status too.
All right, here's the plan! Arthur—today we're gonna go all out hunting for the secret to (Captain)'s strength!
Arthur: Sounds good to me!
Okay, (Captain). I'm ready for another sparring match!

Arthur: (Captain), we've decided that our New Year's resolution is to win a match against you!
Mordred: We'd like it to be one-on-one, but that would probably be too tough, so we're gunning for a win two-on-one first.
Arthur: Vice-Captain Vane advised us to up our goal little by little.
Mordred: Honestly, as we are now, beating you is probably impossible even with the two of us working together...
But if we want to improve so much that no one ever thinks of us as chickadees again, we've got to win one!
Arthur: All right, Mordred! Let's get to training!
Mordred: Right!
(Captain), if you have time, we'd love it if you'd join us!


Arulumaya

It's the start of another year, (Captain). What are your resolutions this time around?
Hm? You want me to see if you'll complete them? Hehe, that's cheating, my dear.
Why, not knowing is half the fun. If you see the winner before the race starts, what would motivate you to run?
It's better to live in the present than worry about the future. Enjoy this year for all that it has in store for you. Believe me. You're going to like it.

Happy New Year, (Captain). That face you're making tells me you've made a resolution. And it looks like a good one.
Let me offer you some advice for the new year.
Whether you fulfill your resolution depends on your resolve. What's that? You wanted a fortune?
The future isn't so easily swayed. Which makes hard effort on your part indispensible.
That's what makes everything we do so important.
Remember these words well. They are far more important than any fortune.

This year may have its ups and downs... Ah, but I bet it will be a lively time, (Captain).
Oh, that wasn't a remark about your fortune. Just my own little prediction, you could say.
Many people will cross your path, and their intentions may be good or evil. It's all right if you end up influencing each other, but be careful not to be swept up by them.
And don't lose sight of what you wish to do... as well as what it is you must do.
Oh, listen to me going on and on! Lecturing you at the start of the year... Do forgive me!

Happy New Year, (Captain)! Let's have another good year together.
This year you'll travel even further to new horizons, making even more connections along the way.
A lot may happen, including times of strife and trouble... Let all of it become your wisdom. The important thing is to enjoy the journey.
Hehe, a vision? Not quite. More of a gut feeling.
The steps you'll take today will surely lead to a brighter tomorrow.

Hehe, since I have the pleasure of accompanying you on your first shrine visit of the year, I suppose I'll draw a fortune as well.
Wouldn't it be faster to make a prediction myself, you ask? Haha, not at all.
While it's true that I can glimpse the future, I can't see all the possibilities at once.
When a major incident occurs, for example, it can't be traced back to one single cause.
So it isn't wise to rely on premonitions alone.
Besides, the kind of fortunes we draw at the shrine are less about specific events and more about the state of mind we may require to face them.
Even with experience, there are times when it's difficult for me to accept the reality of my predictions. Sometimes I'd like to rely on these fortunes instead.
At times like those, I should rely on you?
Haha, thank you, (Captain). I promise, you'll be the first to know.

Arusha

Hmm... What to do... This one looks interesting too...
Oh my! (Captain)? Ahem... Happy New Year!
What am I up to? As a matter of fact, I'm trying to decide on my first book of the new year.
I thought I'd start with something I hadn't read before...
But now I'm thinking it might be better to start things off with an old favorite.
It feels like the first book's going to set the tone for the rest of the year, so...
I just can't decide... Oh! Maybe I should have you decide for me, (Captain)!

Look, (Captain)! A black cat!
Some say it's an unlucky omen, but no... I don't think that's right!
Since black cats can see clearly even in the shadow of night, they can look out for monsters and are even treated as symbols of fortune in some places!
Of course, every island is different, but you'd be surprised at how many of them welcome black cats as auspicious creatures!
I mean, cats are supposed to be lucky animals anyways, so... Ah... Achoo!
Oh, it's coming this way... Achoo!
It's so... c-cute, but... Aaah... choo!
Kerchoo! Achoo... Haaachoo!

Mmph... Why is this so tough... I should be able to handle thirty books on my own...
Huh? Why'd they get so light—
Oh, (Captain)! Thank you for helping me!
I've been airing out the old backlog all day.
Little bugs get into the books, so I've been exterminating them by exposing the pages to dry air.
Ever since I was a little girl, it's always been our custom to get the archives in order during the new year.
If I don't get everything sorted, I just don't feel like I can start my year off right.
Huh? You'll help me carry the rest of the books into the next room?
Oh, oh, that would be a big help!
Thank you so much! That's a load off my shoulders.

Coo... coo... Mmm-mm?
Ahh, (Captain)? Mmm?
Ahh! (Captain)! Sorry! I think I nodded off!
Every year I do a bit of New Year's cleaning, but this time the sun felt so warm.
Yes, I should be more careful, shouldn't I? I could catch a cold sleeping out here.
Even worse, my books could've been blown away by the wind! I'll be more vigilant from now on.
Huh? This drink will help me warm up? Don't mind if I do!
Thank you, (Captain). Oh, and also... Happy New Year!

Since the holy night is the longest night of the year, different islands celebrate it on different days. But it seems every island welcomes the new year on the same day.
This is because when the Astrals ruled the skies, they implemented a single, uniform calendar as part of their governing system.
But before that, people on different islands had limited ways to interact with one another, so it's likely that they went by different calendars.
There might be some books in Estalucia that contain information on these lost customs and so on!
We shouldn't take knowledge from the past lightly—after all, re-discovering things can be useful too. For example, if you look into the name of this island...
It literally means "land falling into water." You know that, geographically, this island is prone to landslides because of rain. This is how they named the island.
See how you can learn from the past like this? I'm sure a lot of ancient secrets are lying in wait in Estalucia too!
That's why I'll keep doing my best this year to help you in our journey through the skies. I hope I can see these secrets for myself someday!


Aster

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
My resolution is to be more helpful to you!

I want to wish you a very happy New Year, (Captain)!
My goal this year is to be a useful member of the crew!
Ehehe. If I make this promise with you, (Captain), then I'll definitely be able to do it.
I'm going to work real hard not to embarrass myself in front of you!
Please watch over me, (Captain)!

Looks like New Year's fortunes are being given out, (Captain)!
I want to pull for my fortune too! Can I?
Heehee, thanks!
Okay, here I go!
What's it say, what's it say?
B-bad luck?
Aw... That's too bad, but divine will is divine will.
You think the rest of what's written in the fortune is more important?
Hm, hm... You're right! There's a lot of valuable advice from the heavens written here!
Yes, I should take every piece of advice to heart. I'm going to do my best this year!
Please look forward to it, (Captain)!

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
Metera told me she would let me play pin the arrow on the Sutera this year!
But I better blindfold myself and practice first!
Would you mind helping me? You will? Thank you!
Okay... Here's the handkerchief! Make sure I can't see anything!

Good morning, (Captain)!
You smelled something so good that it woke you up?
Ehehe... I was making a soup that my mom and grandma taught me to make!
We used to have this all the time for New Year's.
With so many fresh vegetables picked from the forest, it's really delicious!
Would you like some too, (Captain)? It'll warm you right up!

Athena

Ah, (Captain). Good morn—er, no... That isn't right, um... Happy New Year.
Was that the proper greeting?
I must confess, I merely heard the others saying it to each other this morning.
So I was merely repeating what they said... Did I do it right?
Oh, thank goodness! I was afraid I would say it wrong.
Let me try once more then. Ahem.
I wish you a happy New Year, (Captain), and many more to come.

A happy New Year to you, (Captain).
You're up awfully early today. To hunt monsters, I presume?
No? You're off to visit the shrine? Ah yes, I had heard that it is customary to offer a prayer at the shrine for New Year's. But this early?
(Captain) explains that people from all over gather on this island for the occasion, and arriving at the shrine early would be a good way to avoid the crowds.
I see... That was something I had not considered... Is it all right if I accompany you today?
Today seems rather significant in my quest to learn more about the mortal way of life.
Haha, thank you. Let us go then.

Happy New Year, (Captain). A letter arrived for you just now.
Strangely, quite a number of letters have arrived today. Do you know why?
Hmm... I see. So there is a New Year's tradition of sending letters to friends and family members.
It's certainly a wonderful gesture that reaffirms relationships and strengthens bonds.
Perhaps I should endeavor to do the same. Allow me to write you a letter, (Captain)!
What? That's not quite the right idea?

(Captain), happy New Year.
Most of the others are gathered in the galley, since the osechi is about to be served.
Curious about my outfit? I wore it because I was helping in the kitchen.
I wanted to contribute something after all these years of only partaking in these delicious meals.
It's strange though. Some of the others reacted oddly after seeing me in this kimono and apron.
They all murmured something about feeling blessed... I don't understand.
Is it because I unlocked the true extent of my abilities? It's a blessing to be sure, considering I can protect us even better than before.
Oh. You say they were impressed by my appearance? I see. Kimonos are rather elegant.
Hehe, I thought I might not be a good fit for something this nice, but I'm glad that doesn't seem to be the case.

(Captain), happy New Year. May this one be even better than the last.
The osechi will be ready in a moment. I'm preparing it now.
Ah, by prepare, I mean I'm laying it out to be served. Osechi is cooked before the new year, not after.
It's also made out of foods that will be good for a few days, so that one can take a break from doing housework during this time.
I find it fascinatingly efficient. It allows for time to both rest and enjoy the festivities.
Though our arduous journey continues on, it's nice to at least take the New Year to relax.
Oh, you'd like to help me prepare?
That is much appreciated. Shall we?


Augusta

Happy New Year!
Ah, (Captain). I think I had a little too much yesterday.
It was a shock to see Lyria eat so much though.
I didn't think she could fit so much in her stomach.
Lyria's really something, huh? Maybe she's not from this world? Ahaha, sorry! Must be the food talking.

Ah, home sweet home... Thanks for accompanying me back to my hometown, (Captain).
So how do you like our parties here? I hope you're enjoying yourself.
You're impressed with how we go all-out? Ahahaha! I guess it can seem like that if you're not used to it.
But for me, the livelier, the better. I might be conservative elsewhere, but that's because I prefer to rock out at parties like these.
You up for a tango with me, (Captain)? Because now's your chance!

Happy New Year! I was just about to put my resolution on paper.
My goal's to take on all kinds of challenges and make this year a fun one!
(Captain), why don't you write your resolution down too? No need to be embarrassed—it's all about doing what feels right in the moment.
Even one resolution will make you excited to take on another year. Go ahead—be brave and dash one off!

(Captain), happy New Year!
Yawn... I'm still reeling from all those drinks last night...
Since we have the day off, I'm just going to kick back and relax.
You were up pretty late last night too, (Captain). If you're still feeling pooped out, maybe we can spend a lazy day together.
Haha, there's more than one way to spend a New Year's!
"Work hard, play hard" as they say, and this is my way of playing hard!

One, two! One, two!
Pounding mochi's really fun! You're so good at kneading, (Captain). It's looking great!
We make a great team, don't we? All right, let's keep this up!
One, two! One, two! One, two! One, two!
Ahaha, sorry! I got so into it that I started speeding up.
But you were still able to keep up with me! Wouldn't expect any less from you, Captain.
The mochi's come together nicely, so let's go give them out to everyone!


Ayer

What's with all the festive nonsense? Like I care about the new year. It's just another day if you ask me.
Plus I hear other skydoms have different ideas of when New Year's is, and even the meaning changes depending on the custom. What's the point of celebrating this?
Huh? Yeah, I read it in a book a long time ago. Don't you dare call me a bookworm!

Yawn... Man, I'm so tired. Hey, Captain, your crew's freaking weird.
Making a racket from sundown on Near Year's Eve until sunrise on New Year's day. What's all the fuss about?
They even invited me to go make mochi. Like you'll ever catch me doing something so damn tepid again.
Huh? Y-yeah, I did it once. So what? If you don't make New Year's mochi, you can't enjoy New Year's adzuki porridge, right?
Hey! I didn't do it so I could stuff my face! I did it for all these brats we got running around on the airship!

Damn it. Are you kidding me with this... Listen, (Captain), I need you to talk with my sister.
Tell her she and I aren't that far apart age-wise, so stop giving me a New Year's gift.
When is she gonna stop treating me like a ki—hey. What's that in your hand?
You got a New Year's gift from Sis too? Where's your pride as the captain?

Yawn... Oh, it's just you, (Captain).
Happy New Year?
Right, it's today... Not that it matters...
New Year's resolution?
I don't wait until January 1st to think about that stuff.
You keep resolutions near your heart. Always.
What? I'm not a nerd! I stick to my goals. That's all.
Just you wait... This year, I'm going to wipe that smirk off your face.

Yaaawn... Mm... Morning, (Captain)...
I'm about to head out for some morning training... You're up early too.
You're gonna go watch the first sunrise of the year? Pretty energetic, aren't you... considering you were up having a good time till late last night.
Nope, I'm not going. I told you, I've got training...
Hey! I said I'm not going!
Argh... Fine! I'll come with you, so let go, okay?
I'll go with you, but I'm just gonna do my training as usual, you got that?
You can sit next to me and watch the sun rise or whatever.

Azazel

What? Happy... New Year?
I advise you not to say that again to me if you wish to live.
What exactly is this fascination with happy?
Happy New Year. Happy birthday. Happy Halloween.
Happy Valentine's Day. Happy White Day.
Happy, happy, happy!
Do you people honestly believe that adding the word happy to something actually brings happiness?
As far as I'm concerned, the ones who actually are happy don't bother declaring it to the world.
Are you telling me that you skydwellers go out of your way to speak of happiness even when you yourselves feel none of it?
That way of thinking is enough to make me take pity on you...

Looking at the first sunrise of the year? What a fool you are.
The sun comes up every morning, doesn't it? If you think it's so special, then wake up early to get a glimpse every day.
Today's New Year's Day? Well how does that change a thing?
A year is just an arbitrary, made-up unit... What value do you see in it?
Hahaha, there's nothing to do but laugh at the strange customs of people.
Ggnh! You're happy to see me laugh for the first time this year?
Wipe that smile off your face! Do you want me to make it so you never see a thing again?

Had your first dream of the new year yet? This past year has felt like a dream—whether that is a good thing or a bad thing, who is to say?
After all, the customs you mortals have surrounding dreams are nothing short of absurd.
Humph. On the other hand, what if I took command of the dreamscape to deliver despair among your kind?
What was that? What the hell did you just say?
You would be happy to dream of me? You wouldn't mind it at all, so long as I was there to hear your sleep talking?
Ludicrous! A demon would give you nothing short of nightmares!
Do you know how disappointing it would be if I wasted my first night of the new year appearing in regular dreams?

Heh heh heh. You're telling me you trust a simple piece of paper to tell you an entire year's fortune? Ridiculous!
Those are nothing but paper scraps. What's the point in causing so much stress for yourself? That's something only fools would do!
So... what did it say about your fortune for this year, (Captain)?
I-it's not like I'm particularly interested.
It's just that if the captain is supposed to have good luck, that's good for everyone else in the crew too, right?
Oho, so you drew the best fortune, and that brings the most luck? Well, aren't you lucky.
Me? Heh heh... I'm a demon. Goes without saying that the worst fortune is the best for me!
What's with that look? I'm not saying that 'cause I hate losing or anything!

Heh-heh... Fancy seeing you here, (Captain).
Oh, I know what you're about to do. Draw a fortune, check out the sales, and have a feast... Right?
Muahaha... I memorized all your pathetic New Year's rituals ages ago.
Wherever, whenever you are, I'll find you and fill your life with misfortune. You can't escape me.
What? What do you mean you're happy we're celebrating New Year's together?
No! I didn't memorize your rituals to spend time with you!
I'm here to curse you!
Wait! Yes, I'll come along to the shrine, so stop pulling!


Azazel (Halloween)

What? Happy... New Year?

As far as I'm concerned, the ones who actually are happy don't bother declaring it to the world.
Are you telling me that you skydwellers go out of your way to speak of happiness even when you yourselves feel none of it?
That way of thinking is enough to make me take pity on you...

Looking at the first sunrise of the year? What a fool you are.
The sun comes up every morning, doesn't it? If you think it's so special, then wake up early to get a glimpse every day.
Today's New Year's Day? Well how does that change a thing?
A year is just an arbitrary, made-up unit... What value do you see in it?
Hahaha, there's nothing to do but laugh at the strange customs of people.
Ggnh! You're happy to see me laugh for the first time this year?
Wipe that smile off your face! Do you want me to make it so you never see a thing again?

Had your first dream of the new year yet? This past year has felt like a dream—whether that is a good thing or a bad thing, who is to say?
After all, the customs you mortals have surrounding dreams are nothing short of absurd.
Humph. On the other hand, what if I took command of the dreamscape to deliver despair among your kind?
What was that? What the hell did you just say?
You would be happy to dream of me? You wouldn't mind it at all, so long as I was there to hear your sleep talking?
Ludicrous! A demon would give you nothing short of nightmares!
Do you know how disappointing it would be if I wasted my first night of the new year appearing in regular dreams?

Heh heh heh. You're telling me you trust a simple piece of paper to tell you an entire year's fortune? Ridiculous!
Those are nothing but paper scraps. What's the point in causing so much stress for yourself? That's something only fools would do!
So... what did it say about your fortune for this year, (Captain)?
I-it's not like I'm particularly interested.
It's just that if the captain is supposed to have good luck, that's good for everyone else in the crew too, right?
Oho, so you drew the best fortune, and that brings the most luck? Well, aren't you lucky.
Me? Heh heh... I'm a demon. Goes without saying that the worst fortune is the best for me!
What's with that look? I'm not saying that 'cause I hate losing or anything!

Heh-heh... Fancy seeing you here, (Captain).
Oh, I know what you're about to do. Draw a fortune, check out the sales, and have a feast... Right?
Muahaha... I memorized all your pathetic New Year's rituals ages ago.
Wherever, whenever you are, I'll find you and fill your life with misfortune. You can't escape me.
What? What do you mean you're happy we're celebrating New Year's together?
No! I didn't memorize your rituals to spend time with you!
I'm here to curse you!
Wait! Yes, I'll come along to the shrine, so stop pulling!


Azusa

Happy New Year, (Captain).
Have you heard of something called a ceremonial arrow?
It's a special decorative arrow for New Year's that wards off misfortune and brings happiness.
I'm thinking of going to the shrine with Teacher Gamshira to receive an arrow.
I'd like to get one so that I can wish for peace for you and our crew.
If you're free, would you like to come with me to find Teacher Gamshira?
Of course, I'll invite Narmaya too. We can all pray for happiness together.
Hehe. I look forward to spending another year with you, (Captain).

Hah!
That should do it.
Ah, were you watching, (Captain)? My apologies, I didn't mean to ignore you.
Oh, this? I heard we only had one kadomatsu prepared, so I decided to cobble another one together.
Kadomatsu should be set up in pairs. Fortunately with my bonsai experience, carving out another one was no effort at all.
This should serve us well for another year.
Happy New Year, (Captain). I'll be in your care again.

Happy New Year, (Captain).
Have you ever tried your hand at calligraphy on New Year's? You write your aspiration for the coming year on paper with a brush.
Even if you haven't thought of any resolutions yet, you can see the new year as a chance to refresh your mind. Eventually, something will naturally come to you.
As for myself, this year, I would like to try fifty new things.
To be honest I'd wanted to try for one hundred, but Narmaya stopped me, saying I won't be able to enjoy them if I'm too ambitious.
What's that? Fifty's still a lot, you say?
Hm... It seems I can't help but push myself to the extreme in everything I do.
Will you wait for a while? I'd like to think a little longer before picking up the brush.

Baal

Any plans to celebrate the new year, (Captain)?
Me? Yeah, I heard from those guys.
They want to get together to usher in the New Year. I bet Satyr came up with the idea.
Actually, it might've been Nezha. He's always reading books and picking up useless knowledge.
I guess I might as well go, even if it's just going to be another noisy gathering...
You guys in the crew are probably going to do the same here anyhow.
Heh... Well, I hope you party until the Grandcypher falls out of the sky.

Oh, (Captain). Glad I ran into you. I wanted to give you this ticket.
Aoidos asked me to play a New Year's gig with him.
And I think he'd be happy if you came.
Uh, well... I don't know if happy's the right word.
I never really understand what he's feeling... But anyways, you being there should get him pretty hyped.

A kadomatsu... Hmm, somehow they look alike.
It reminds me of an instrument I stumbled across once when I happened to visit an island in the far east, long ago.
It was called a "shu"... or was it "sho"? Something like that. The chords were very peculiar.
There's something stimulating about hearing the sound of an instrument for the first time.
I guess I could say the same about meeting you too, (Captain).
Never mind, I said that without thinking. Forget it.

Do you consider yourself skilled at New Year's games, (Captain)?
Satyr plans on inviting the usual gang to join her for games and festivities on New Year's Day—I'm sure of it.
The thing is, I don't have much experience with such games, and so I was hoping to practice with someone.
They may just be games at the end of the day, but I have no intention of losing.
Especially against Medusa—she'll find each opportunity she can to poke fun at me. I can already see it happening.
My fate is on the line here, (Captain). I need you.

Allow me to say thanks, (Captain).
For showing me the ABCs of New Year's games last year.
I finally came out on top over Medusa. Though she refused to admit defeat, and we had to go through who-knows-how-many rematches.
Anyhoo, I managed to keep my dignity, making the new year that much easier to welcome in.
Huh? You wanted to join us?
Haven't had your fill of fun and games, I see. I wouldn't mind taking you on.
Though you were the one that taught me, I have no intention of losing. Don't hold back, (Captain).

Bakura

The new year is upon us.
Happy New Year, (Captain). May our next year be as fruitful as the last.
My New Year's resolution is to gather all 108 forbidden requiems and save the lost souls wandering the skies.
And to accomplish that, I kindly pray for your assistance, (Captain). I promise to be forever grateful.

(Captain), happiest of new years to you. It is my honor to serve you on this hallowed beginning as well.
Hahaha. Why do I stand on ceremony?
That is because... That is because the new year must begin in a manner which is not brazen.
Does it not please you? Hmm... My way of speaking is much too formal for the occasion?
I believe I understand. I must also test the waters if I am to grow.
I shall try again... In a more common tongue...
Have a... super... fantastic... New Year... yo.
Sigh... Do you approve of my attempt to sound less formal?

Happiest of New Years to you, (Captain). You have my deepest gratitude and upmost appreciation.
Oh yes... Have a super fantastic New Year... yo.
Words that fall from my lips rarely are difficult to muster indeed.
Perhaps I should refrain from what does not come naturally to me and exist as I am.
Hahaha! Apologies for the uninformative banter.
Training for one such as myself does often include calming one's mind even in the most festive occasions.
And so, a New Year's greeting is all I require to mark the start of a new beginning.

Happy New Year. Once again, I pray from my heart of hearts that you will be of sound mind and body for the year to come.
I am on a pilgrimage across the entirety of the Grandcypher to offer my greetings to all in the crew.
Some may think it an unnecessarily formal gesture, but I find the New Year's greeting to be of grave importance.
Thus the reason for my peregrination on this day.
If I may be so bold, I would greatly appreciate your company if you'd join me on this pilgrimage, (Captain).
I am most certain that your very presence alone would inject life into my rather insipid greetings.
You'll accompany me? Splendid. Let us continue on then.

New Year's blessings upon you. It gladdens me to see you refreshed.
The majority of my New Year's greetings have been given. Yours is the last.
I appear even more refreshed than you? Perhaps you speak the truth.
The members of your crew are from different walks of life and seek their own paths, and yet each and every one is here celebrating with us.
Speaking with them has given me renewed drive to strengthen myself further.
But it goes without saying that you are the one who inspires me most.
Let this message serve both as a greeting and a pledge for this year.


Balurga

Happy New Years!
Heh heh... Parties rule, no ifs, ands, or buts about it.
Going nuts with my friends like this reminds me of when me and my old gangster bros used to party.
Heh heh... Gotta cut this short. The Allfather never was one to get all misty-eyed about the past.
Let's just enjoy ourselves, (Captain). With a party animal like me here, how could you not?

Hyaapppy New Year!
(Captain), my blood is ready for action!
What! Don't play dumb. I heard all about it! This year, we're gonna have battles all day long.
We're gonna battle with those spinny tops, and with kites, and battledore, and even go-fish!
We'll even gamble our New Year's money and put our lives on the line...
We'll eat mochi till one of us passes out and see who can drink the most!
I can't wait! Can we start now, Captain?
This day is going to go down in the record books! Let's get ready to battle!

Hyappy New Year! (Captain), this year will be awesome too!
Say... What's in your hand?
What? A fortune?
Seriously? Who leaves their fate to a piece of paper?
And ya know, those New Year's fortune are almost always good...
What? It wasn't?
Really?
W-we're not letting a piece of paper decide our fate, right!

Hey, (Captain)! What are you standing around and doing nothing for!
Don't you see the awesome sunrise right in front of you? That means it's time to go for a run!
Scream your dreams out at the sun and blast off! There's nothing manlier than that!
You're gonna turn into a pile of useless goo if you keep lazing around during New Year's! You gotta keep in shape, right?
So let's have a race! No holding back, because a true man goes all out for everything!
You can't say no either!
Hyaaha! Ready, start!

Hyappy New Year! Enough lazing around! Let's go outside!
New Year celebrations go by quick, y'know? Gotta squeeze in as much as you can before it's over!
Plus your crew wants to play, and a good captain should join in!
Now come on! It's the duty for a good crewmate like me to drag you along!
We're gonna play until we drop! Hyaha!


Baotorda

I wish you a happy New Year.
Your future is the sum of each year's experiences. I hope this year bears fruit for you as well.

Happy New Year, (Captain).
Nothing can replace the time I've spent on the crew.
I hope that I too will be of some worth to your future...

Happy New Year. I actually bought some eggnog, so would you care for a glass, (Captain)?
It's loaded with nutrients and believed to be effective for recovering from exhaustion.
After such an exciting year, I think it's just the drink for you, (Captain).
I say we partake to kick off the new year. May the coming year bring further health and prosperity.

Pant, pant...
Phew... Oh, if it isn't (Captain).
Happy New Year. Did you come to watch the first sunrise?
I was taking my first sprint of the new year. Did I surprise you?
Running with all of my might along these mountain roads allows me to reflect upon the things I should do in the upcoming year.
I believe I'll take another lap. Would you like to join me, (Captain)?

(Captain), have you already decided on your resolution for this year?
Mine is, of course, "forever pure, forever righteous."
You shouldn't take them as merely words. By deciding on a resolution for yourself, your daily actions from there on will also grow to have meaning.
Righteousness in the sword is born from the conviction of the one who wields it. It is the same concept.
Ah, forgive me—I didn't mean to lecture. I hope I haven't offended you in any way.
I pray this will be another fruitful year for you. Rest assured that you have my full support.

Barawa

Hmm? So it's New Year's Day, is it? I guess I had a little too much fun last night with Eugen and the boys. Hah hah hah.
Well, I better get to work. Hah hah. Call it tradition, but I always find myself cleaning my tools the morning after a long New Year's Eve.

Yawn... Ah, sorry, Captain. Happy New Year!
Should we get on with the big annual cleanup? I'll work on the pipes.
I worked on the pipes last year too? Well, I figure a big guy like me should really get in there and give 'em a good scrubbing, you know?

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
Hm? Why the puzzled look, (Captain)? Surprised to see me so energetic for the new year?
To tell the truth, I've been waking up and going to bed early to go along with my weight training! Ha-ha-ha!
The key to building muscle is a balanced diet, a good night's rest, and a sweaty workout routine.
Thanks to that, I'm as healthy as a horse no matter how many colds I catch! So you can count on me all year round this year, (Captain)!

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
Let's get on it already! Got to go to a shrine for the start of the new year. I've resolved to solve all the mysteries that come my way!
Hm? Why am I so chipper you ask?
Well actually I've been able to keep my New Year's resolution of sleeping and rising early each day!
Because of that, I always have time to clean my pipe bright and early!
Time to wash up and get ready for a new day, (Captain)!
This year sure is looking up! Hahahaha!

Yaaaaawn... Ngh, even yawning gives me a headache...
Oh, happy New Year, (Captain).
Hahaha. I was out late last night celebrating with Eugen and the boys. We might've partied a little too hard.
It's been awhile since I've done my customary, New Year's pipe-cleaning.
Huh? What do you mean "it must not be customary if I don't do it every year?"
Yeowch... Sorry, my head is throbbing, and trying to think about anything is enough to make it scream.
Haha, it's already been a year since my last headache that was this bad. Maybe my resolution should be to not make past mistakes.

Barawa and Sarya

Barawa: (Captain)! Sarya! Are you ready to leave? We have to hurry, or we won't make it to the shrine on time!
Sarya: I'm ready, Detective! Let's go!
What are you going to wish for anyway, Detective?
Barawa: Hm... I wouldn't really call it a wish. It's more like an announcement of my intent for the year—a New Year's resolution, if you will.
I would like to help my clients resolve their issues, both internal and external. Oh, and solve more mysteries, of course!
Sarya: I think that's wonderful, Detective! I'll try to help as much as I can this year too!
Barawa: Hah hah hah! We sure have got our work cut out for us. Don't we, Sarya?
I'd wish for a world without crime, but then we'd both be out of jobs!
Sarya: That wouldn't do at all! I need the money to buy a new swimsuit this year!
I guess I'll wish for a steady flow of income for our detective agency then!


Beatrix

Happy New Year!
Woo! Let the primal beast hunt begin!
We'll take 'em down, one by one, and the Society will have to recognize me! Recognize my skill! Recognize my existence!
That's what I'd be saying if I hadn't met you first, (Captain). I was rash and impatient.
From now on I'm going to take it nice and slow. Together with you.
Right, (Captain)? You and I are partners for another year! Heheh...

Heheh! I get to spend another year with my favorite captain! I know you can barely contain your joy!
Who could resist smiling when I'm around? Huh? You... disagree?
Oh... I see...
That was a joke? So you are having fun, right? Don't lie!
Thank goodness. I thought I was the only one who—ack! It's nothing!
Um, can you not tease me this early into the new year? How inconsiderate!

All right, (Captain), let's go to the shrines!
Heheh. I'm gonna wish for a year's worth of blessings for everyone!
But you know, it doesn't feel like something I would've wished for before.
Guess I've changed a little, huh?
Ahaha! It's all your fault, (Captain)!
You should take responsibility with another fun year to spend together.

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
A lot of stuff happened this year...
Stuff so fun and so dangerous that there's no forgetting it...
...
I just... don't want to lose the things that I care about the most.
So this year I'm going to be stronger than ever! Just watch me!
That way you and I can be sure to stay together forever... Hehehe...
Let's make this year a good one, (Captain)!

Heh-heh! Happy New Year! So, (Captain), what do you think? Pretty spiffy, huh?
This kimono's cute, right? I love how the hair ribbon and sash flutter in the wind. And it feels amazing to wear. I mean, the lining's even softer than silk.
But the best thing about this kimono? The design! Matches with Zeta's, you know! Impressed? Completely captivated? Heh-heh.
Choose: Yeah, you look cute.
Hehehe! You got that right. Today, I feel drop-dead gorgeous.
Choose: You really are cute. Like, insanely cute.
What? A-ahaha... Umm... It's kinda embarrassing... when you keep saying it like that.
Choose: I can't believe how cute you are. Wow.
U-um... My face is feeling kinda flushed... D-don't really know what to say back to you... You can stop now... Please...
Choose: Yup, you're cu-
Gaaaah! Stop! Okay! Thank you!
Let's just! Go to a shrine! Now!
Ehehe...

Let's make this year a good one, (Captain)!

Heh-heh! Happy New Year! So, (Captain), what do you think? Pretty spiffy, huh?
This kimono's cute, right? I love how the hair ribbon and sash flutter in the wind. And it feels amazing to wear. I mean, the lining's even softer than silk.
But the best thing about this kimono? The design! Matches with Zeta's, you know! Impressed? Completely captivated? Heh-heh.
Choose: Yeah, you look cute.
Hehehe! You got that right. Today, I feel drop-dead gorgeous.
Choose: You really are cute. Like, insanely cute.
What? A-ahaha... Umm... It's kinda embarrassing... when you keep saying it like that.
Choose: I can't believe how cute you are. Wow.
U-um... My face is feeling kinda flushed... D-don't really know what to say back to you... You can stop now... Please...
Choose: Yup, you're cu-
Gaaaah! Stop! Okay! Thank you!
Let's just! Go to a shrine! Now!
Ehehe...


Beatrix (Halloween)

Happy New Year!
Woo! Let the primal beast hunt begin!
We'll take 'em down, one by one, and the Society will have to recognize me! Recognize my skill! Recognize my existence!
That's what I'd be saying if I hadn't met you first, (Captain). I was rash and impatient.
From now on I'm going to take it nice and slow. Together with you.
Right, (Captain)? You and I are partners for another year! Heheh...

Heheh! I get to spend another year with my favorite captain! I know you can barely contain your joy!
Who could resist smiling when I'm around? Huh? You... disagree?
Oh... I see...
That was a joke? So you are having fun, right? Don't lie!
Thank goodness. I thought I was the only one who—ack! It's nothing!
Um, can you not tease me this early into the new year? How inconsiderate!

All right, (Captain), let's go to the shrines!
Heheh. I'm gonna wish for a year's worth of blessings for everyone!
But you know, it doesn't feel like something I would've wished for before.
Guess I've changed a little, huh?
Ahaha! It's all your fault, (Captain)!
You should take responsibility with another fun year to spend together.

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
A lot of stuff happened this year...
Stuff so fun and so dangerous that there's no forgetting it...
...
I just... don't want to lose the things that I care about the most.
So this year I'm going to be stronger than ever! Just watch me!
That way you and I can be sure to stay together forever... Hehehe...

Benjamin

Black Knight

A new year may have come upon us, but it doesn't mean anything's changed.
So always remember your purpose, reflect upon yourself, and be the change. New Year's resolution or no...
Whether you've reached your dreams or the ends of the skies... don't ever give up.

Happy New Year. You were a good captain last year. You have my thanks.
Don't make that face. There are times I feel that I should thank you.
It's just that saying what you want to say is not so easy to do.
But we do not know when we will become unable to say these simple things. You should remember this as well.

By the way... How will you spend this New Year's Day?
You have many comrades and many close to your heart.
On this one special day, you should meet with those whom you do not always have time for.
May it be now then never at all.

A new year has begun. Have you decided on what you want to accomplish?
It's important to set goals. In doing so, each step you take adds significance to when you finally achieve your goal.
Sorry. I didn't mean to sound condescending, which you certainly don't need to hear from me.
Your goal is to reach the Island of the Astrals, therefore you already know that a halfhearted effort will get you nowhere.
I wouldn't say my own determination is lacking compared to yours, but I admire your steadfast resolve.

Pounding mochi? You have enough hands on board. You don't need me to...
Orchis wants to make some sandstone mochi? I see, so that's how it is.
Yes, I do have experience in making that.
It's a classic dish for the Erste royal family, and one that brings back memories...
Fine. Since it's only once a year, I can lend a hand.
Just don't have high expectations for the result. Making the mochi look like stones is harder than you think.
Well, being able to reminisce about the past so leisurely is proof of how peaceful it is now.
I suppose it wouldn't be so bad to partake in these festivities, just once a year on New Year's.


Blazing Teacher Elmott

You want to stay up past your bedtime tonight?
Fat chance! Run off to bed, kid. And pull the covers tight. You wouldn't want to catch a cold.

Yo, gimme your hand. Huh? Don't be a baby about it.
You did well to survive for another year. You're more resourceful than I give you credit for.
Now don't go getting hurt this year either.

Happy New...
Well, someone looks tired. Guess you stayed up to watch the sunrise last night.
Maybe it's 'cause the air's so clear up here, but that was one beautiful fireball.
Heh heh heh. Man, I hope one day my flames can be as pretty as that.

Hyahaha! They're swelling up nice and big!
Hey, relax. I'll be done roasting these in a jiffy.
Wash your hands, get some drinks ready, and wait for Blazing Elmott to serve 'em up!
You and the rest of the crew had a heck of a time beating the mochi, and now it's my turn to scorch the little munchies to a perfect texture.
Whoa, hands off. Wouldn't wanna burn yourself now.

Tch... Is the shrine always this crowded on New Year's?
Wishin' for sound health is all well and good, but what's the point if you end up catchin' a cold?
I mean look at you, (Captain). Your nose is all red.
If you're cold, come closer. I'll warm you up with my flames.
Huh? Don't worry about all that. It won't be a bonfire or anything. That'd be dangerous with all these people around.
But since we're already here, we're gonna make a wish. Just be sure not to get sick.


Bowman

Bridgette

Happy New Year!
(Captain), thank you for sticking by me even though I'm still pretty new to all this.
Let's make this another great year through and through!
There's not much I can do for you just yet...
But I'll do my best through and through and be of good use to your crew!
(Captain), you be sure to guide me and I'll never let you down!

Thanks to you, (Captain), I've grown much stronger! Absolutely! Definitely!
I know because I can do 20 push-ups now!
If I keep this up, I know this year will be better than the last! Thanks a bunch!

(Captain)! Happy New Year to you!
My resolution for the new year is to be able to do fifty sword-sweeps in a row!
I'm going to start with one sweep and add one more each day. That way I'll have reached my goal in just fifty days!
I'm going to practice through and through! Just you wait and see! So let's make this year a great one together!

(Captain)! I did it! I really did it! Through and through!
Fifty sword-sweeps! Fifty sword-sweeps in a row!
But... I started doing these in the morning and now it's all dark outside...
N-next year I'll do these even faster and do fifty before the night comes! No breaks! I promise!

The new year is here! Oh, how invigorating!
I've never felt so motivated! You know, I've noticed something... The first day of the year's when you really realize how far you've come.
(Captain)! I have something to tell you! I worked really hard last year!
I can now do over fifty push-ups! I can swing my sword over fifty times, again and again!
How about you? What did you work on last year?
What? That's amazing! And we're going to be just as productive this year, right?


Bridgette and Cordelia

Cordelia: Here I come, Bridgette!
Haah!
Bridgette: Impressive, dearest Cordelia! Now it's my turn!
Yaaah!
Cordelia: You're not bad yourself, Bridgette!
Hm?
Bridgette: Ah, (Captain)! Happy New Year!
Cordelia: (Captain), happy New Year.
Bridgette: What's that? You didn't want to interrupt us? Well, it's true we were pretty absorbed in our training...
Cordelia: The start of a new year can be invigorating. In a way, it's the perfect time for a bit of sparring.
Bridgette: (Captain), why don't you join us for a match!

Cordelia: Happy New Year. It's a pleasure for Bridgette and I to welcome in the new year with you.
Bridgette: We're glad to be in the crew!
Of course, we can't rest on our laurels just because it's New Years. The training never stops!
I'm going to keep pushing myself hard, and maybe one day I'll be as strong as Cordelia!
Cordelia: Haha, seeing Bridgette's progress reminds me that I have to keep in shape too.
Would you care to train with us, (Captain)? We'd get a lot more done if there's three of us.
Bridgette: I hope you'll come along too! It'll be worth it!

Bridgette: The New Year's festival is such a blast! I'm so happy to be here!
Cordelia: It's a good thing I finished up my training in the morning. It lets me focus on just enjoying myself.
Bridgette: From sweet wines to yakisoba to cotton candy—they have it all! I'll go buy some!
Cordelia: Wait, Bridgette! I'll come with you—
And off she goes. She's always been the type to just forge ahead once she's made up her mind.
No matter how dire the circumstances, Bridgette never loses hope and keeps trudging on. That attitude has instilled me with bravery as well.
I suppose I could say the same of you, (Captain). I have nothing but respect for your extraordinary heroism.
Bridgette: I got us some sweet wine! What were you two talking about?
Cordelia: Haha, it's nothing. Thanks for the drinks, Bridgette.
Bridgette: Drink up, and you're bound to have another great year! I'm certain of it!

Bridgette: Happy New Year, (Captain)!
Cordelia: We really went all out with the cleaning yesterday. That makes the celebration all the more refreshing.
Admittedly, I lack much of the know-how that is needed for an effective cleaning. Bridgette is incredibly good at it though. She gave me a lot of good pointers!
Bridgette: I may have given you some pointers, but I think we can attribute this beautiful sheen to your spectacular muscle power, dear Cordelia.
Cleaning at this rate really requires you to give it your all, right up until the very end!
Cordelia: You're right, and that's a fine attitude to bring to any task, no matter how mundane it may be.
I know that I'm going to have another great year ahead, and it's all thanks to you, Bridgette.
Bridgette: And with you by my side dear Cordelia, I know that I will have an amazing year as well.

Cordelia: We are going to take a markedly different approach to training this new year.
Bridgette: Understood! I am steadfast at your side!
But... what are we doing exactly?
Cordelia: Let me show you!
Cordelia pulls out two paddles and a small ball tied with feathers...
Cordelia: Hanetsuki... It requires full movement of the body, superb reflexes, and the most accurate hand-eye coordination.
I've concluded that this is a comprehensive test of skills. It is the ultimate training.
Bridgette: Gulp! Such arduous exercise... But I won't back down from the challenge!
Cordelia: You've steeled yourself well. Now let's see what you're made of!
Bridgette: I am ready!
In the name of extreme physical conditioning, they begin their heated match.
The noise from it can only be described as that of a battlefield, bullets whizzing in all directions.


Cagliostro

Happy New Year!
I heard it's common to wear a really cute and strange outfit today. I'd love to wear one too...

Hey, (Captain)! Let's go to a shrine for New Year's!
Huh? What's with that surprised look on your face?
You're being asked out by the cutest girl in the universe, so show some excitement!
Visiting a shrine at the start of the year is a time-honored tradition.
Grumble another word, and I'll wrap you up with Ouroboros... and then drag you there whether you like it or not. Teehee.

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
I was thinking... Between festive clothing and a shrine maiden outfit, which would you choose?
Hey, don't give me that funny look... It's gotta be one or the other with New Year's, right?
Of course, I'm sure I'd look ravishing in either one...
I just thought I'd pick your brain on the matter.
So what'll it be, (Captain)?
Make me happy with your answer, and I'll make sure you end the day on a really high note!
Your call.

Yawn... So tired...
Hm? These past few days, my experiments are getting more interesting. I will increase my cuteness even m—
What? New Year's Eve? New Year's Day?
Oh!
And visiting a temple!
(Captain)! Let's go out now!
Yawn... Wait...
Never mind. I'm sleepy. I think I'll just snooze through the festivities this year.
(Captain), lay down. Spend some time just catching up on your sleep. It's not so bad...
Snore...

Hey, hey, (Captain)! Let's go to the hot spring.
An outdoor bath with a view of the New Year's sunrise would be really neat.
Of course, I'd love to get in there with you...
Oh, and don't worry about whether it'll be a mixed bath or not.
After all, gender's something you can so easily change with a little experimentation.
Not to mention there probably won't be any other guests as they'd likely be occupied with their New Year's shrine visit.
It'll be just you and me with the entire hot spring all to ourselves, (Captain).

Oh, and don't worry about whether it'll be a mixed bath or not.
After all, gender's something you can so easily change with a little experimentation.
Not to mention there probably won't be any other guests as they'd likely be occupied with their New Year's shrine visit.
It'll be just you and me with the entire hot spring all to ourselves, (Captain).


Cailana

Oh, you're coming too, (Captain)? I'm gonna celebrate by carving some new year waves as the sun rises!
That's the only way to really experience the new year, I say! Let's go!

Happy New Year! I just got back from my first ride of the year! It was the beeest!
Phew. I gotta say, though... I'm beat.
Yawn... I'm gettin' kinda sleepy, actually. Maybe I'll go straight to bed after this...
Say, (Captain), do you want to take a nap together? I get lonely sleeping alone...
Fwaaah... Okay! Then let's hit the hay!

(Captain), wanna go to a shrine for the first time this year?
Come on. I'll go with you!
Huh? Why am I wet?
Duh! Because I was out surfing for the first time this year!
Whew! This is the best way to start a new year!
Oh! Now I need to take the first shower of the new year too! I'll be right back!

This year's gonna be great if I'm already riding such killer waves... Mm... Zzz...
Huh? What! Where did the big wave go! And my ocean!
Oh, good morning, (Captain)! But wait! Wasn't I just surfing a second ago?
Huh? A dream? Really?
Hmph, so what if it was a dream! They say the first dream of the year always comes true, so that just means I get to look forward to the future!
Shoot! I almost forgot!
Happy New Year, (Captain)! We're gonna catch every single wave there is to ride this year!

(Captain)! Happy! New Year!
Wh-whoa!
Hehe, lost my balance there... Was an awesome wave though!
Nothing beats surfing into the next year!
I'm gonna go back for more! You should join me once you're done with your break!
How long am I gonna keep surfing for?
Until we finish ringing in the first day of the year, of course!
We've got to savor every wave that flows by with the fresh tides!
Come on, we only get this chance once a year! You better stick with me until the end, (Captain)!

Caim

(Captain), happy New Year...
Did you get a chance to see the first sunrise of the year?
I missed out on it...
I made sure to ask Hanged Man to wake me up early, but he didn't even bother...
He can be such a meanie sometimes...
I won't ask him for favors anymore!
(Captain), let's watch the New Year's sunrise together next year, okay? That's a promise!

Caim: So this is mochi? It's white, round, and fluffy.
Hanged Man was saying it's a fun thing to eat, but it sure doesn't look that way.
The Hanged Man: Sure it does. Go on, give it a try.
Caim: You're lying again, aren't you! But I won't be fooled that easily!
The Hanged Man: You won't know until you've tried it!
Caim: Fine, I guess I can do that!
Nom, nom...
Ergh!
The Hanged Man: Hahaha! Fun stuff, wouldn't you say?
Careful now. You'll have trouble breathing if you don't chew properly.
Caim: Grgh! (Captain), hreelp—

(Captain)... I drew my fortune earlier and got bad luck...
Does that mean I'm cursed now? Are scary things going to happen in the future?
The first dream I had this year was also a nightmare. I don't exactly remember what happened, only that I woke up sweating...
Huh? What's with the head pats?
Hey, that tickles! Hehe, your hand's really warm though.
Thanks, (Captain). I don't feel as scared anymore.

Caim: So this is the first sunrise of the year...
The sun looks so big...
The Hanged Man: Does it scare you?
Caim: N-no, it doesn't.
Hmm...
The Hanged Man: What? Why are you looking back and forth between me and the sun?
Caim: Just... thinking that it isn't scary at all.
It's big, and shiny, and golden like you, Hanged Man.

Caim: Happy New Year, (Captain)!
The Hanged Man: Another new year's begun, huh? Hope we can spend a lot of time together again, (Captain).
Caim: Hey, do you want to play this board game? Apparently it's something called si-moo-la-tion!
You have to predict whether the foe or your ally's going to win!
So you need to collect a whole bunch of information. Looks like you can play it over and over again!
The Hanged Man: Ah, this game? It's something I bought Caim for New Year's instead of giving him some pocket money.
As you know, Caim used to be stuck in a simulation of his past.
I'm interested to see how this game will affect Caim now.
Caim: What are you two talking about? Do you... not want to play simoolation with me?
The Hanged Man: Of course we want to. I bought it for you, after all—let's see what the deal is with this game is.
Caim: Hooray! Come on, let's give it a try then!


Cain

I've gotta say, when the year flips over so does my mood!
But it's not like I want to go out of my way to make some impossible resolution.
I think it's important to build on and continue the stuff you've already got going for you.
Making new goals is great, but you've got to appreciate the stuff you've already accomplished, you know?
So this year let's just take things as they come and relax a little more!

Happy New Year, (Captain).
Even though today's really just like any other day, it comeshow feels refreshing to know that it's a new year.
Some might feel pressed into changing something about themselves, but I don't see much of a need for that.
At the very least, today's a good day to reflect on the path you've treaded up to this point.
Looking back every now and then helps you ensure that you're headed where you really want to go in life.

Good morning, (Captain). You're quite the early bird today.
Oh, and happy New Year. I hope this one treats you well.
Can you believe it's already been a year? Here's to more joy and prosperity!
Yeah, prosperity... We've come a long way from living in the shadows of the past.
When all you can think about is what happened yesterday, it really opens your eyes.
It's good to work toward the future, but we shouldn't be quick to forget about the important things in our past.
I'm sure there are things that you can't allow yourself to forget, (Captain).
It's not a bad idea to face your past, especially at milestones such as today.

Hrnnngh! Whew...
The first morning of the year sure feels nice. Wouldn't you say, (Captain)?
...
Hey, I was thinking... Would you like to have a spar with me?
Sorry, that was kind of sudden, wasn't it... I just thought it's about time for me to start moving forward.
It's not like everything has to change just because it's a new year.
But I believe that some things have to change in order for other things to remain the same.
But the question is, what are those things? I was hoping you could help me find the answer to that.
You'll do it?
Thanks so much, (Captain)! Then let's get started!

Morning, (Captain). And happy New Year's!
Feels like we just celebrated a New Year's... And yet here comes another one.
Hey, you remember the sparring match we had last year? It got me thinking...
There's all these things I have to change, things I wish would stay the same, and things I never want to forget...
I've been trying to wade through this torrent of feeling that's been building inside me, looking for the right path...
And in the end, I didn't find any answers but... what I did find was direction.
The thinking, the searching for what's good and right... That's what it is to live.
So I'm done with trying to rush to the finish line. Starting from today, I'm taking it one step at a time.
Here's to opening the page on a new chapter in life! And you know that whatever choices I make, I'll always be there for you, right?
We're in this together, (Captain)!

Camieux

Happy New Year! I wonder if everyone in the crew and at the shop have made their resolutions yet.
Did you know? My resolution this year is to be less timid!

Happy New Year, (Captain). I'm looking forward to another great year with you!
This year I really want to get over feeling scared. And I want to work on my short temper, too, if I can...
I can't always ask you to step in and save me, (Captain)!
I'll do better this year, I promise! Just you watch, (Captain)!

Happy New Year to you, (Captain)! Let's make this year another great one!
This year I'll get over feeling scared and having a short temper, I'm going to make a wish at sunrise on New Year's Day.
It's only happening little by little each year... But I'm getting better... I think...
I'm much better than before, you say? It sure makes me feel good to hear you say that!
It might only be a little this year too, but I'm gonna do my best to keep going forward!

I've gotta try harder...
Eeeek! C-c-captain! Why'd you sneak up on me like that!
Oh no... I got scared again...
I guess I just don't have what Silva does...
It's just... Silva began the year with training.
People like Silva, strong people, are never satisfied with themselves. They just keep working at it...
I wanna be like that. So I've gotta put way, way more effort in.
I'm already not very useful, so if I don't try harder I'm just going to become useless.
I'm going to be even better than last year!
You just watch, (Captain)!

Yawn...
Mrmph! W-what the! (Captain)! Ugh, you caught me slacking off...
U-uh... There's a reason for this! I'm not just lazing around on New Year's for fun, okay?
So you know how Silva always talks about how important the beginning of the year is, right? Then she goes off to train in the cold?
But, really, she shouldn't be that serious all the time. I mean, Cucouroux and I were talking about how it can't be good for her health—mental or physical.
So we decided that, this year, the two of us were gonna teach Silva how to slack off!
You get it, right! Right? I was slacking off for a reason! Seriously!
Come ooon! All right, I get it—I had a stupid face on. But it couldn't have been that funny!
All right, you know what? If you're gonna laugh so much, then how about you show me how to be a cool slacker, huh?

Cantate

H-Happy New Year, Cap.
I-I paid a visit, to the shrine with Sel and, the others earlier.
Prayed that I'll be able to make, lots of great violins.
I got my prayer in, so I'm ready to work hard, this year!


Carmelina

Happy New Year! I want to knock the socks off even more people this year!
So how are we going to pull in the first client of the year? Heh heh heh!

Thank you, (Captain), for sticking with me over the year.
The crew's grown since we first met, and I couldn't be luckier.
Everyone who has joined this crew is skilled in their own way.
I bet if everyone focused on learning the arts, they'd quickly find themselves becoming entertainers of the court! Ahaha!

Phew, am I beat! I put on lots of great shows today.
Of course I'm working on New Year's! When people are on vacation, all the performers come out to strut their stuff.
The shows we do are extra extravagant and full of tradition since so many people have come out to watch.
What's my most impressive trick? Hmm... Maybe when I go through a gauntlet of firecrackers?
I think I've showed you them before. You know, the ones that go pop-pop-pop!
Or are you saying you wanna try running through them with me? Pop! Haha...

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
Hey! Hey, (Captain)! Do you wanna go to a New Year's festival with me?
The festivities around here are amazing! The sky lights up with fireworks, and all sortsa street performers do their stuff!
When you see it, I know you're gonna wanna put on your own show!
So let's go check it out, okay?

Oh, (Captain)! Happy New Year!
Guess what, guess what? I'm about to put on a street show at the town plaza!
Come and check it out, if you got nothin' better to do!
Thanks! It's my first show of the year, so I'm gonna knock it right outta the park!
Hehe. Get ready to have your mind boggled!

Caro

Happy New Year! Here's to another great year of traveling the skies together.
By the way, I heard from a member of the crew that some people send greeting cards at the beginning of the year.
So with that in mind, I made a card for you with a painting of a sunrise on it. What do you think? Did I do it right?
Hehe, I'm so glad! Then here—it's yours.
What! You made me a greeting card too?
Wow, what an adorable little animal! Hehe, so this is the sort of thing you draw.
I appreciate you going to so much trouble for my sake. I'll have to frame it and hang it in my room!


Carren

Haaappy New Year!
What's my resolution? Hmm... To be a better acting captain!

Happy New Year, (Captain)! Let the New Year's monster hunting begin! I'm gonna kick some butt!
Don't look at me like that. Where's your sense of adventure?
An adventurer is not made in a day! They must explore, explore, and explore some more! There's no rest for the strong!
Do you feel me? Good! Let's get this year's aventure started!
Follow me, everyone, the stand-in captain!

What do I have planned for today? Let's see... All the missions are done, so pig out and be lazy I guess.
Maybe I'll take a walk at around sunset and find someplace high up to watch the town aglow.
Most people should be at home by then. All those lights make for an epic view.
Hehe, you wanna come with? Sure! Then let's meet in the lobby of the inn after dinner!

Captain! Are you free today?
I heard they were having a festival at a local shrine. Would you like to go check it out with me?
There might be something we can only see if we go! Let's not pass the opportunity up!
Oh? You wanna invite some of the others?
Okay. It'll be more fun that way. I'm liking the start of this new year!
I'm all pumped for whatever may come!

Sigh... This stinks.
Eugen told me to drop in to visit my family once in a while. Even though I just sent them a letter the other day...
Huh? I should spend time with them while I have the chance?
But (Captain)! Oh, um... Actually, you may be right. Sorry.
But... every time I see them, they go on about how I'm "inexperienced" and I "still have a long way to go" and such, and it kinda hurts.
Huh? You'll come with me to tell them I'm doing a great job? Really?
Then make sure to shower me with enough praise to shut them right up! That way I think I'll be able to handle going home!
Hehehe... I wonder what you'll compliment me on? I can't wait!

Do you feel me? Good! Let's get this year's aventure started!
Follow me, everyone, the stand-in captain!

What do I have planned for today? Let's see... All the missions are done, so pig out and be lazy I guess.
Maybe I'll take a walk at around sunset and find someplace high up to watch the town aglow.
Most people should be at home by then. All those lights make for an epic view.
Hehe, you wanna come with? Sure! Then let's meet in the lobby of the inn after dinner!

Captain! Are you free today?
I heard they were having a festival at a local shrine. Would you like to go check it out with me?
There might be something we can only see if we go! Let's not pass the opportunity up!
Oh? You wanna invite some of the others?
Okay. It'll be more fun that way. I'm liking the start of this new year!
I'm all pumped for whatever may come!

Sigh... This stinks.
Eugen told me to drop in to visit my family once in a while. Even though I just sent them a letter the other day...
Huh? I should spend time with them while I have the chance?
But (Captain)! Oh, um... Actually, you may be right. Sorry.
But... every time I see them, they go on about how I'm "inexperienced" and I "still have a long way to go" and such, and it kinda hurts.
Huh? You'll come with me to tell them I'm doing a great job? Really?
Then make sure to shower me with enough praise to shut them right up! That way I think I'll be able to handle going home!
Hehehe... I wonder what you'll compliment me on? I can't wait!

Happy New Year.
That is what I hear everyone saying, but why?
Ah, so it is a greeting that welcomes in a new year. Does that alone warrant attention? What significance is there to the start of a new year?
Hmm... I see. The cause for celebration is all the obstacles you and your comrades overcame during that time frame.
Some things cannot be accomplished alone, thus there are situations that necessitate cooperation from friends. Sound reasoning.
Happy New Year, (Captain). I will remember to use this greeting again next year. Please do not die before then.

If I remember correctly, it is customary to prepare traditional dishes to be consumed on New Year's Day.
Black soy beans for warding off evil, herring roe to bring prosperity to one's offspring, mashed sweet potatoes to boost financial fortunes...
The fact that each dish comes with its own meaning is most fascinating.
Although I am still extremely skeptical that eating food will somehow bring wishes to fruition...
But I suppose regularly setting one's expectations is what makes a fossildweller a fossildweller.
Living is all about the experiences. I think I shall try a few of those New Year's dishes.

(Captain). Tell me, what is the purpose of this line? I am unable to see where it starts even after turning five corners. Could this be a line for ramen?
A line for praying at the shrine? What is this shrine that you speak of? What kind of food is praying?
Hm. You mean to tell me that all of these people are here to offer their gratitude for the past year, and to make new wishes at a structure called a shrine.
I do not understand. I cannot think of any merits in speaking to an architectural structure.
But from my experience here in the world of fossildwellers, there must be something extraordinary waiting at the front of this line.
The end's that way. Let's get in line, (Captain).

(Captain), I have caught wind of a dangerous weapon that only appears in the Sky Realm during the start of a new year.
According to the rumors, the weapon is white with viscoelastic properties that allow it to stretch—
Ah. Yes. Similar to the white substance you're holding right now.
You claim what you're holding is the weapon?
I think not. Even I recognize the foodstuff known as mochi.
"It's easy to choke on mochi because of its consistency"?
I have no words to describe how illogical it is for skydwellers to intentionally put their own lives at risk.
No... Perhaps such risk-taking is responsible for the evolution of modern-day cuisine... Hmm, deeply fascinating.
If so, then I shall salute those pioneering forebearers while indulging in mochi.
(Captain), where is the red bean paste? Preferably the unmashed kind.

Happy New Year, (Captain).
What do you think would make for a suitable dessert in place of New Year's soba?
New Year's maritozzo? New Year's macarons? New Year's crepes?
Enticing as those options are, none of them carry the same nuance of bestowing luck as soba does. It's difficult to find the right replacement.
Despite a lengthy discussion with Beatrix and Zeta, we were unable to arrive at any optimal answers.
Hm... A dessert that foretells good luck... Perhaps the best way to research this topic is to conduct experiments.
Very well. Come on, (Captain). Let's go on a dessert-sampling tour.

Catherine

Happy New Year.
So, are you going to help me again this year? Not like I'm going to let you out of my sight anyway.
I mean, you know my real name. I can't just let you run away.
So let's stick together. Hehe. We'll be together again this year, and that's a promise. If you break it, I'll turn you to smoke.

You promised... to watch out for me. And I've been so happy ever since.
Which is good, because I'd hate to have to turn you into smoke.
I hope we can be together again this year. That's not a threat... That's my desire.
Hehe.

We've been through yet another year together.
The promise we made two years ago... Are you keeping it? Good.
You know, being together with you is starting to feel as natural as keeping my treasured pendant close.
I guess that means I treasure you too, right? Hehe...
I never let go of treasure once it's in my hands. You understand what I mean, right?
Hehe. Here's to another exciting year, (Captain).

Happy New Year, (Captain).
I don't shake you down or force you to make promises anymore.
But here you are right by my side to ring in another new year.
Your sense of duty is something else.
Haha, no, I understand. You didn't come to see me today out of obligation.
I don't mind being your treasure though... Is that too on the nose?

Open wide. Here comes the airship, (Captain). Mm, wasn't that tasty?
Haha, I knew that'd leave you speechless. It's cute.
It's a New Year's mashed sweet potato treat featuring the sweetness of chestnuts.
I'm not sure how it works, but it's supposed to bring financial fortune. To me that sounds better than getting a lump sum in the form of a New Year's gift.
Not like you need an allowance anyway. I'll swipe whatever treasure's out there if it's for you, (Captain).
No matter who I have to make enemies of, or if it clashes with my own convictions. Kind of like now.
That was a joke. Okay, half joke.
Heehee, happy New Year (Captain). Let's have a good one.

Catura

Yaaawn... How many nights... until New Year's...
Huh? Oh... It's already... the new year.
The best way to spend the beginning of the year... is to take a nap and relax...
Come on, (Captain)... Let's nap together.

(Captain), Happy New Year...
My New Year's resolution? It's to get married... with you...
I'm going to start off by having a milk-drinking party with the girls in the crew...
I'm going to ask for advice there... Maybe I can "accidentally" roll all over you while trying to get a kite off my body, or I can corner you against the wall...
Make sure you don't peek, okay, (Captain)?
Moohoohoo... You're going to love the surprise I have in store... I'm sure of it...

I can't believe I get to visit the shrine with you by my side, (Captain). Moohoohoo, I bet you know my New Year's wish without me having to say it, don't you?
But just so you know... I'm not going to pray it comes true.
It's just... I promised myself I would show you what I'm worth...
I can't rely on a wish to get what I want... I have to be the one to make my dreams happen...
So, my prince charming... Will you stick around until I've earned your company?

Somehow, Catura is nowhere to be seen, even though she came with everyone to the first shrine visit of the new year.
After a quick search, (Captain) finds her helping out with a line of visitors.
Oh, (Captain)... I'm sorry for running off like that...
I'm just helping out with the temple... The first day is always super busy...
Even though my job is to take care of the cattle... It's nice doing this... I'm like a shrine maiden...
Choose: Let me help you out.
Are you sure?
(Captain) and Catura team up to assist with various tasks around the temple.
(In the future... I get to spend my days with (Captain) just like this...)
Moohoohoo...
Catura's face softens as she fantasizes about the future.

Cecile

I try to make time for my mom this time of the year.
But she always tells me not to bother if I'm busy with the orchestra.
I have friends all around me, so I'm all right. But my mom lives all alone in that house. I'm always worried she might be feeling lonely.
Hm? You think we should all go visit her together next time?
Thank you. My mom's the single most important thing to me in the world, and that would make her so happy!

(Captain), did you want to come outside for some fresh air? I guess the banquet hall was getting kind of hot and crowded.
The crew members on this ship sure are loud. It was the same whenever we had parties with the orchestra, but we definitely couldn't hold a candle to this racket.
Sigh...
Hahaha... It's strange.
Everyone's eating, drinking, and being merry... But maybe I like this kind of fuss.
You too, right, (Captain)? We have more in common than I thought. Crazy, huh?
Well, I feel better now. Let's get back inside.
Huh? You'd rather stay outside and talk more?
Fiiine. We'll talk until you're ready to brave the banquet again. But it's your turn to talk!

A sprightly tune played on the trumpet beckons from outside the captain's quarters. (Captain) pushes open the door to investigate.
Oh, (Captain). Happy New Year.
This song? It came to me in my first dream of the new year.
I'd never heard it before, but it's pretty catchy, don't you think? You do, don't you?
In my dream, I was playing a duet with someone I don't think I'd ever met, yet somehow we played in perfect harmony.
I feel like it was a sign that this year the musical world is just going to burst into full bloom for me.
Well, whatever the year has in store, I'll face it head-on and conquer it with style.
Why don't you set yourself a new challenge too?

If there's one constant to this place, it's the cold weather. I'm used to it, but how are you holding up, (Captain)?
I told you to expect this since you wanted to visit my home for New Year's and meet my mom.
Don't get me wrong. I'm ecstatic you came with me. I told you before how important she is to me.
I should pick up something for her. Can I stop in that shop real quick?
Guess that's the whole shebang... Oh, hey, how 'bout these?
These fancy li'l cakes are molded to look like animals and stuff! Loved these sweeties when I was a kid—
(Crap! Slipped into old habits now that I'm back home...)
Ahem. I'm going to go pay now. I won't be long.

Happy New Year.
My mother sent me some treats. So long as nobody minds cheese, I'd like to share it with the crew.
Her childhood friend owns cows, you see. Always gives her too much, so she ends up sending me the rest.
After you left last year, my mother complimented you. Said you were polite and had a good head on your shoulders.
From my point of view though, you're still a cheeky kid with a lot of spunk.
But it's not like I don't understand her point of view. You're loads better than the other kids around here.
So? Have you decided on your resolution yet?
You've got a lot of potential, so work hard this year too. I'm looking forward to seeing how much progress you'll make.


Cendrillon

Happy New Year, (Captain).
Did you need something? I'm kind of busy searching for a good place to hold a handshake event...
I'd have to be an idiot to spend my precious rupies to wish for more money.
You're better off asking Lyria and Vyrn if they want to go—
(Wait. Lots of people are tossing their change at the shrines right now, right? That means there've got to be rupies lying around that people dropped.)
(And it's finders keepers, so... I might actually be able to make a decent amount!)
Forget what I just said! I'm coming with you, (Captain)!


Cerberus

Cerberus: Happy New Year!
Mimi: Shouldn't we be heading back to the other side soon? Woof!
Coco: End of the year's a busy time, woof! Plenty of work to take care of!
Cerberus: Not yet! Our contract with the Master isn't even close to done!
Mimi: Yeah, heading back home's gonna be a pain. Woof!
Coco: It's just gonna get everyone ticked off. Woof!
Cerberus: What are we talking about? Hee hee hee... Wouldn't you like to know. Let's make this another good year... Master.

Mimi: We've made a New Year's resolution, woof!
Coco: That's right, ruff! Your resolution for this year is to feed and entertain us to our heart's content! If you bore us, we'll send you there before you know it!
Cerberus: Oh? What ever happened to going back home?
Mimi: We know that's not gonna happen anytime soon, woof!
Coco: We've accepted our fate in this world for now, ruff!
Cerberus: Hee hee. In that case, I wanna enjoy my time here forever with Master!
Doesn't that sound just lovely? Here's to another year of fun, Master!

Cerberus: Happy New Year, Master!
Mimi: You there! You've been hiding something huge from us!
Coco: People on this side are supposed to give out wads of cash on New Year's... But we've never gotten a rupie from you!
Cerberus: Hee hee! Master wasn't hiding anything at all. Isn't that right?
Mimi: You're always such a softie. Enough of the defending!
Coco: Yeah, yeah! We're gonna guzzle down that sad sack's eyeballs and chomp off the rump!
Cerberus: Hee hee! Master always gives us little treats. Isn't that right?
But... Aaaah, I want a wad of cash too.
What do you say? Come on, Master?

Mimi: Rolled a three. Advance three spaces and string 'em up with a nose hook.
Coco: Rolled a two. Advance two spaces and hang 'em by their hind paws.
Cerberus: Hey. What are you pups doing?
Mimi: Playin' a board game. We're trying to work out how to send (Captain) to you-know-where.
Cerberus: Um... Can't we take (Captain)'s hands and, you know, go gentle into that good night?
Coco: Gets my hackles up just imagining it. I think that's our only choice after all.
Mimi: You're a barkin' genius. Best way to go out is with a woof and a bang.
Hey, (Captain). We're gonna have to make a puzzle outta your face!
Coco: We'll maul you and mess you up real good!

Cerberus: Happy New Year!
Mimi: Chew chew... Not a bad gift you brought us. You've got pretty good taste after all.
Coco: Chomp chomp... Just look at this mountain of meatballs. I might even give you a belly rub for this.
Cerberus: Aw... They're so happy. Coco, Mimi? I've got a present for you too!
The meat that (Captain) gave me... It's all yours.
Coco & Mimi: Chew chew... Chomp chomp...
Cerberus: Looks like they're too busy eating to pay attention. Oh well. Let's go to the shrines!
Coco & Mimi: ...!
Mimi: Ruff! You trying to leave us behind?
Coco: Grr... No one goes on walks without us!
Cerberus: Hm? But if I stay, you'll have to share the meatballs with me. You sure you don't want them all to yourselves?
Coco & Mimi: ...
Chew chew... Chomp chomp...
Cerberu: Seems like they don't want to come after all. Well, shall we go?
Hehe. I'm so happy. After all, now... it's just the two of us.


Ceylan (Event)

Happy New Year!
Did you know, (Captain), that certain lands welcome the New Year by watching high-speed miniature airships explode in the sky...
They call it "fireworks". Fascinating, isn't it?

Happy New Year!
(Captain), have you ever heard of divination through the first dream of the year?
In certain regions it's said that what we see in the dream determines our fate for the rest of the year.
I'll look into ways to ensure you'll have a favorable dream, (Captain).

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
I'm so glad I can spend New Year's Day with you. I have a feeling this year is going to be a great one.
By the way, (Captain), do you know what a lion dance is?
In some lands it's a dance done to celebrate the new year and auspicious occasions.
I've never seen one up close before, but somehow I find lions dancing a somewhat frightful thought.
If we have a chance though, I'd love to watch one with you! It'd be a great experience to find out more about other cultures!

Happy New Year, (Captain).
I'm excited at the prospect of a fresh new year with you.
I hope we'll get to greet every new year together from now on.
By the way, (Captain), have you ever tried amazake?
Apparently drinking this beverage around the new year is considered good luck in some regions...
Oh, but although the name sounds a bit like sake, I hear it isn't an intoxicant.
What a mysterious beverage. I hope I'll have the chance to sample it one year.
If we find some, we'll have to drink a toast, (Captain)!

(Captain), happy New Year.
Erm... Have you got a bit of free time right now?
Actually, I heard that they're holding an exhibition in town, where you can see all kinds of local specialties from different islands.
It seems you can even try various New Year's fare... I thought it'd be nice if we could go together.
Really? Thank you!
Heh-heh. I've always told you about different New Year's traditions...
But, this year, it seems like we're off to discover new things together. I find that quite exciting.


Charioce XVII

Happy New Year, (Captain).
I've a gift of New Year's rupies for you. Take them.
Don't be shy. This is simply a means for me to show thanks.
Rest your fears. I assure you there will be no trouble from it.
You have reservations about accepting a gift from a king?
Hm? Why do you look so flustered?
Though I must say it surprises me to see you shaken by such a trivial matter.
I took us to be closer friends than this.

Why do I find you awake at this hour, (Captain)?
I? There were matters of state which required my attention.
I must allow my subjects some respite for the new year, so the tasks fell to me.
Ah... I hear the new year has begun.
Happy New Year, (Captain). May our association be as profitable this year as the last.
The hour is late. You should get your rest.
Tomorrow we rise early to visit the town and canvas the wellbeing of my citizens.

Happy New Year. I look forward to another year with you in my charge.
Have you already eaten?
My chef tells me he's procured some rare ingredients, and he's prepared a feast for the occasion.
Would you like to join me for the meal?
Hah. This invitation is coming from me. You do not have to put on airs.
Besides, it's the new year. A feast among your fellows would be a good way to start anew.

(Captain), happy New Year.
This may come off as a bit sudden, but are you aware of the concept of visiting the shrine on New Year's?
Oho... So you are. I wouldn't have expected any less.
I first heard of this from several of my subordinates last night, you see. It seems many of my people also participate in this custom.
If possible, I, too, would like to join in this tradition myself and see how the people spend their New Year's holiday...
I will make sure your time accompanying me is worthwhile, of course. In the form of a New Year's gift.
Heh, I trust you'll accept my offer this time.

It seems that on New Year's Day, the people play a game called... backgammon.
I would like to give it a try myself.
Will you not join me, (Captain)?
I ask that you hold nothing back. It will be dull otherwise.
Hm? If I lose, I must do whatever you say?
Do you mean to command a king?
Such boldness might see you standing trial for treason...
But... very well. I shall accept your challenge on one condition.
If I win, you must do whatever I say.
After all, the game is most exciting when the stakes are perfectly balanced.

Happy New Year!
This is going to be another great year—forever pure, forever righteous!

Happy New Year, Captain (Captain).
My goal this year is the same as last year's: to live every day forever pure, forever righteous!
I believe it's good to change one's resolution from year to year, of course.
However. I believe some things only come into view after dedicating yourself to the same goal, year after year.
I hope to dedicate myself to improving our teamwork this year, Captain (Captain)!

Happy New Year, (Captain). Hm? Where are you off to?
A New Year's festival, you say? Well, I think I might tag along then!
Trouble's known to follow a crowd, after all.
We wouldn't want the new year to start off with any unfortunate incidents, now would we?
I'll be there to ensure everyone stays safe. Here's to another year—forever pure, forever righteous!

Happy New Year, (Captain).
It looks cold out. I'm from a snow country and thus am accustomed to such weather.
These frostbitten winds remind me of home.
While it does snow all year round, the New Year's snow is particularly special. Every family works together to remove it from the front of their houses.
Huh? You'd like to see my home for yourself?
I would be delighted to show you. And I will be your guide!
Hehe... Someday we'll go together.

Ahem... Ahem!
Oh, (Captain)! Isn't this a fine morning?
I was just clearing the snow out here. Wouldn't want anyone to slip and hurt themselves.
Sometimes people fall in the snow, get buried, and find themselves trapped.
That even happened to me once, long ago. Outside my own home, no less... I nearly froze.
Care to shovel with me, (Captain)? Nothing like some honest labor to start off the new year!

Chat Noir

Happy New Year.
Hm? Am I taking a break from burgling today, you ask?
Why yes, I'm closing up shop for the holiday. Spending time with you every once in a while isn't so bad.

Haaappy Neeew Yeeear!
Now then, how about a treat? I nicked one off the kitchen tables earlier just for you, (Captain).
I jest, I jest. You were in such a hurry earlier that you didn't grab your own, so I've brought it to you.
I may be a thief, but I'd never rob someone's happiness... That's just not my style.
Once you've eaten up, come meet me out on the deck for your first battle of the new year!
That's right... How about a kite flying contest?
Heh-heh... Do you think you can beat a thief who roams the skies freely at reading the wind?

Look at the good-luck fortune I've just stolen, (Captain).
How did I discern between the good-luck fortune and all the others? That's a secret I'm not going to reveal.
Hm? You saw me changing outfits countless times until I attained the good-luck fortune?
Well played... You noticed that I always used the same wallet to pay for them... You have a pair of eyes on you.
But luck does not come to those who wait! You must take it with your own hands.
And because I have, you might even call me the luckiest man alive. Do you think you can take me on!
We shall duel with dice! For they are the ups and downs of life incarnate!

Happy New Year. I see that you are already training, (Captain), which is perhaps to be expected from one such as yourself.
I? I am taking a brief reprieve from my usual employment.
However, looking at you, I am convinced I should laze about no longer.
Say. Would you care to join me for a heated round of battledore?
The winner shall be allowed to draw freely upon the face of the vanquished. Of course, one need hardly conjecture as to who shall emerge victorious.
Hehehe. I was certain this was a challenge you could not refuse.
En garde, then! Now, have you the skill to see through the shifting techniques of the Great Phantom Thief?

You wish to know my ambitions for the year?
I'm afraid the treasures I target must remain a secret, even to you. A phantom thief never risks compromising a job.
Hm? Oh, if it's regarding that... I suppose it would be interesting to finally settle matters between the great detective and I.
But ending my relationship with such a delightful man would leave me somewhat saddened.
I'd like to play with him a little longer, so let's make my yearly goal something else.
For example... How does besting you in a match sound?
I just acquired a large mountain of mochi that's begging to be eaten. Why don't we see who can eat more?

This year's been awesome! Still no boyfriend, though, lol.
I'm with you guys right now after all.
Part of me wants to go back to the village to see my mom and everyone else.
But maybe I should work on getting stronger first.
Like, I've gotta get strong enough to protect everyone. Strong like you, Captain!
So yeah, happy New Year! Whoooo!

Ah, (Captain)! HNY!
The shrine's a-waitin' for us!
We totally need to find out which one of us has the better luck this year!
Either way I just know my luck's been on the up and up ever since joining you, (Captain)! ☆

Everyone's got some kind of New Year's whatchamacallit, but what about you, (Captain)? (・∀・)
Me? I want a sweetie-pie for myself! (`・ω・´)
Oh yeah, I wanna get stronger too. But I've had that goal, like, foreverz now.
I'm all for the lovey-dovey stuff. Can't go through life alone, ya know? Getting hitched is kinda like my end goal. lol
(Captain), Lyrina, Vyrnathan, and everyone else in the crew...
I've made so many besties lately. I just gotta keep this up, and I'll nab myself a sweetie-pie in no time! Like, lol. (´∀`)
(Captain)! Wish me good luck in finding that Hottie McHotterson sooner than later, won't you? (ゝω・)ゞ"

Whoo, first sighting of (Captain) in the new year! HNY and all that jazz! Teehee!
I heard everyone's gonna be playing New Year's games. Wanna hang out with me if I go, (Captain)?
Celebrating tradition's kinda like my jam. I mean, you get to raise the roof while you're at it.
There's also the shrine visit, the mochi-munching, and, like, so much more. lolz
Getting to chill with your BFFs is one surefire way to start an awesome new year, don't you think, (Captain)? (~‾▿‾)~

(Captain), HNY!
You just woke up? Wanna come with me to the shrine and get a New Year's prayer going?
Like, I can't believe I forgot what resolutions I made last year... (´・ω・`)
Would you believe I even forget if I prayed at the shrine? 'Cause, like, I'm always in a rush on New Year's and all. Lolz
But it's all good since I get to visit the shrine with you again, (Captain).
I'm lucky just to have you G. Cyph peeps in my life. Can't get too greedy now.
Oh snap, I just thought of something! Σ(゚∇゚*)
All I've gotta do is pray that I get to pray with you again next year!
Whoo! Am I, like, totally one smart cookie or what? Teehee!

Christina

Happy New Year, Kitten. Shall we see how lucky you're going to be this year?
Try to guess which of my hands has a coin in it...
Ha-ha! That's right! There's no coin in either of them, Kitten. Think of this as a reminder that we make our own luck.

Oh? Making some New Year's resolutions, my Little Kitten? I didn't think you cared about that kind of thing.
Haha... I'm good, thanks. Not one for resolutions.
Doesn't fit my personality. Work hard first, and worry about the details later, I say.
Sometimes you need a resolution to spur you forward...
But from where I'm looking, you respond to challenges. And the bigger it is, the harder you work to overcome it. Isn't that right?

It's so early into the new year, and you already look so glum. What's wrong? Need a shoulder to cry on?
As the captain you're not sure whether you should hand out New Year's gifts or not?
Ahahaha! Of course you don't have to!
Actually, they'd be confused if they got a present from my little kitten.
But the more that I think about it... This is a new year. And maybe the little kitten is growing into a big old cat after all.

Are you out worshipping the sun? Making wishes for the new year?
I see then... So it's a secret...
You sure have some nerve, trying to keep things from me.
You'd better get ready. The year might have just started, but...
It's time for some discipline!

To think you'd actually oversleep... I'd wanted to witness the first sunrise of the year with you.
You've got quite the adorable bed head there...
Hm? Haha, you don't have to get so stiff. I'm not planning to punish you for anything.
I meant it when I said you're adorable. But if we're going to pay a visit to the temple, we should fix your hair.
Here, kitty, kitty. Let's comb your hair back into place, shall we?
You really are a handful, aren't you... That's what's endearing about you though. You are just one hopeless, little kitten.

Huang: (Captain)!
Cidala Sisters: Happy New Year!
Happy New Year.
Bai: Let us divine your fortune.
Huang: Your luck plays a huge part on the whole crew! Aren't you on the edge of your seat?
Without waiting for an answer, they consult the feng shui compass.
Cidala Sisters: Twin Tiger Feng Shui!
Huang: What the...
Bai: Two colors, huh... It's too bad it had to come to this...
Cidala Sisters: (Captain)'s lucky color is white!
Huang: I was born from a yellow peach. That practically makes me yellow too. Don't you think it's such a bright and cheerful color?
Bai: Well, I came from a white peach. White is symbolic of purity and integrity.
Cidala Sisters: Pick one, (Captain)! Yellow or white!

Huang: Happy New Year, (Captain)!
Bai: Looking forward to spending another year together.
Huang: Well, since it's a new start, let's do our fortune-telling for this upcoming year!
Bai: You know what to do, don't you, (Captain)? Come on, say it with us.
Cidala Sisters: Twin Tiger Feng Shui!
Bai: Oh, I see your lucky item for the year...
Huang: Wha, a bow? I mean, bows do signify good encounters, but...
Bai: We usually tie our clothes...
Huang: With a knot...
Bai: Huang, we'd better be careful. (Captain) might end up influencing us this year even more than we think.
Huang: Oh, right...
We can't change our clothes that fast, (Captain)! Besides, knots are hard to undo!
Bai: They are...
You're probably planning to tie them into bows instead, aren't you, (Captain)?
Huang: Are you really? I don't know if I could get used to that...
Laolao: I don't see what the fuss is, gawr. It's just a bow... Nothing to get flustered about, gawr.

Huang: (Captain)
Bai: Happy...
Cidala Sisters: New Year!
Bai: A new fortune for the new year! Let's see what you have this year, (Captain).
Cidala Sisters: Twin Tiger Feng Shui!
Huang: Hmm! There's a certain lucky place for (Captain) this year!
Bai: Visiting this place will boost your luck and send a lot of good things your way. And the lucky place is...
Cidala Sisters: The deck!
Huang: If you stand on deck, good things will happen to you!
Well, I'm always with you anyway so it's not like you need anything more than that. Nyahaha!
Bai: If you want more luck, the kitchen might do the trick for you.
But you've already got a ton of luck, so I don't think you need any more.
Huang: When's (Captain) gonna come...
Bai: I'm getting sleepy...

The first thing I want to do for the new year is... nothing! Woo! Let's be lazy, (Captain)!

Are you going to go visit a shrine for New Year's? Now that you mention it, I haven't been outside yet.
I'll go with you, Captain! Woohoo! Get hyped, get hyped!
Huh? Shrines are super serious?
Bleh... Uh, I think I'm gonna loaf around on the airship instead...

Mmm... What makes oranges so delicious when eaten under a heated blanket?
Oh, hiya, (Captain). Come to have an orange too? Here ya go.
Aw yeah... Being warm and lazy with (Captain)... Scarfin' down oranges...
It doesn't get any better than this.
Want another one? Okay. Open wide and say, "ah."
...
No, no, no, what are you doing, Clarisse? I can't believe I just said that!
Yeesh, I had my head in the clouds, and it just slipped out...
So, um... do you want another orange, (Captain)?

Happy New Yeaaar!
I've got it all planned out! This year's gonna start off with a zip-a-dee-doo visit to the shrine.
And of course I want you to come with me too!
Then we'll veg out under the kotatsu when we get back.
So with that, let's blow this popsicle stand! Kapow!
The shrine's awaiting, (Captain)!
Oh, wait. I need to put these oranges someplace cool first so we can eat them later.

Guhh, (Captain)... Happy New—
Achoo!
Ahaha... I, uh... Might've fallen asleep under the kotatsu.
And, well... Achoo. Looks like I've caught a cold.
Weeh, I'm sorry... I think I'm going to sleep in today.
You want to look after me?
D-don't worry about it! I'm not even that sick! Just need a bit of sleep, that's all!
Plus, I don't want to get you sick too.
Um, well, in that case... Could I ask for one favor?
Um... Doesn't have to be now, but could you bring me a mikan? A chilled one, please?
I'm sure that's all I need to get better.
I'm counting on you, (Captain)!

Claudia

A new year has begun, hasn't it?
I have prepared special stationery for you to write your resolutions on. Please use them as you like.

Happy New Year. You mustn't laze about on the first day of a new year.
The year is young. Why not make a goal or two that you wish to achieve?
Me? I will continue to perform my duties diligently, just as I always have.

Happy New Year. As always, please allow me to take care of the menial duties. Now if you'll excuse me.
Yes? Why am I in such a hurry?
Because there's much cleaning to be done. There's dust built up everywhere and trash bags piled high. I absolutely cannot abide by that.
I must go, (Captain).

Happy New Year to you. It's always very easy to end up slacking around this time of year, so we must remind ourselves to be proactive.
I'm about to launch into the first cleaning of the year. Would you kindly assist me?
In order to enjoy the refreshment of a new beginning, the space around you needs a refreshing scrub.
We're at a critical junction here. It's not too much to ask that our captain practice good habits of cleanliness.
And you'll also be able to shake off that winter rust. A two-for-one isn't a bad deal.
Now on your feet please!
I'll polish the floors while you get the windows.

Why, is that you, (Captain)? I see that you're up and about, from the very outset of the new year.
How very prudent, considering that you are the leader of a crew.
In fact, you have made me realize you'd be a most fitting student for my lessons in conduct and responsibility.
Shall we focus on your education this year, and once again consider what it means to be captain of this ship?
It is a maid's duty to see to the upbringing of her ward, after all. Prepare yourself, for I warn you I am quite strict.


Colossus

Tzaka the Great: Happy New Year, everyone. I apologize for dropping in so suddenly, but I wished to see how Colossus was doing.
Lyria: Oh! Happy New Year to you too, Tzaka! I'll call out Colossus for you!
Colossus: ...
Tzaka the Great: Let's see...
Not a bolt is out of place. If I had to nitpick, I suppose there are a few scratches and smudges, but nothing major.
Luckily I brought just the thing for a little bit of polishing up. Now hold still for a moment.
Io: Huh? Is that you, Master? The new year's barely started and you're already busy, I see.
Tzaka the Great: Why hello, Io! I wanted to give Colossus a bit of a polishing. Isn't our friend a sight to behold?
Lyria: Ahaha... He says "a bit," but it's been half a day.
Io: Sigh. You always lose track of time when you focus on something, Master.
Lyria: Hehe, but you know what? Colossus looks pretty happy about the new shine to its armor! A great start to the new year, right?
Colossus: ...!
After a thorough cleaning by sandpaper, polishing cloth, and various other materials, Colossus's entire body shines as brightly as a mirror. It stands a little bit taller, proud of the hard work poured into it.

Tzaka the Great: Hahaha... Went on quite a few adventures over the past year, didn't you? I can tell just by looking at you.
Good job protecting everyone. I'm very proud.
Colossus: ...
Io: Master? You really came! Happy New Year!
Tzaka the Great: Hello, Io. Happy New Year to you as well.
Io: So... What were you two doing right now?
Tzaka the Great: Hahaha, Colossus and I were chatting about what you lot were up to in the past year. Just a bit of idle talk over some tea.
Tzaka raises his hands and shows the steaming cup warming his fingers.
But you came at a good time. Why don't you share your adventures with me too?
Io: I'd be more than happy to! And once I'm done, you have to tell me what's been going on with you!
Smiling, Io sits down next to her master, and the two begin to swap stories.
Colossus: ...
Colossus cheerfully listens in as well.

Tzaka the Great: Hello, Io. Happy New Year.
Io: Happy New Year to you too, Master!
Tzaka the Great: I know you worked very hard last year, so here's some New Year's money from me as a little reward.
Io: Wow! Thanks, I'll make sure to use it wisely!
Colossus watches the two from a distance.
When Io breaks into a smile upon receiving the New Year's money, Colossus gives an unexpected reaction.
Colossus: ...
Tzaka the Great: Oh, what's the matter, Colossus? Did you want a New Year's gift as well?
Colossus: ...!
Tzaka the Great: I see, so that's how it is... You want to give something for New Year's too.
Io: Huh? Don't you mean "receive"?
Tzaka the Great: No. Colossus must have liked the smile on your face when you received the gift from me.
Very well. I shall help you prepare something to give to Io for New Year's as well.
Colossus: ...!
Tzaka the Great: Ohoho... Look forward to it, Io.
And with that, Colossus and Tzaka the Great work to put together something for Io.
Io: Hehe, thank you, Colossus! I can't believe I got something from both you and Master... This is going to be a great year!
Feeling accomplished from seeing the widening smile on Io's face, Colossus stands tall and proud.

Tzaka the Great: Hello there and Happy New Year. I've come to see you again this year too.
Lyria: Munch, munch... Oh, hello Tzaka! Happy New Year!
Tzaka the Great: Oh, were you about to eat? That fragrant aroma... Is it mochi?
Io: Hehehe, you got it, Master! But this isn't just any ordinary mochi. It's super special!
Vyrn: Hehe, we took some freshly pounded mochi and had Colossus use its sword to grill it! The texture's perfect!
Colossus: ...
Tzaka the Great: Oho, I see, I see. It does seem to be special, and a symbol of good fortune as well.
You've started the new year off on the right foot, Colossus.
Colossus plates some of the freshly grilled mochi and looks winsomely towards Tzaka.
Tzaka takes the plate with a gentle smile as he observes the giant's air of confidence.
Thank you for your thoughtfulness. You've certainly come a long way, Colossus.
Colossus: ...
Colossus releases steam from its vents joyfully and enjoys a day of New Year's festivities with Tzaka and the crew.

Tzaka and Io, while making their first shrine visit of the year, notice a commotion coming from the entrance.
Checking it out, they discover (Captain) and crew standing nearby.
Io: Happy New Year, (Captain)! Since you're here...
Tzaka the Great: Do you know what's going on?
(Captain) points past the gate.
There stands Colossus, posed exactly like the wood statue across from it.
Colossus: ...
Io: Uh... I don't get what's happening.
Vyrn: So this shrine usually has two matching statues outside the entrance.
Lyria: But one of them was damaged this year.
Io: Huh? What's that got to do with Colossus?
After a bit more explaining, they learn that Colossus is replacing the damaged statue while it's being repaired.
To Io and Tzaka's surprise, it was Colossus who offered itself up for the role.
Io: Wow, who knew Colossus had it in it...
Tzaka the Great: Haha... It's heartening to see that it has nurtured a will of its own.
Tzaka speaks with a gentle smile, an unspoken emotion lingering in his eyes as he gazes upon the scene.


Cordelia

Happy New Year, (Captain).
Since I'm usually on a mission this day of the year, I often forget to just relax and enjoy the festivities.
But thanks to you, I just might be able to enjoy New Year's for real this time.
Ahahaha. What a wonderful feeling it is, to be able to sit down and unwind with you like this.
But I'll be resuming my praetor duties tomorrow. Hehe, thanks again, (Captain).

Happy New Year, (Captain).
Hm? Did you just awaken?
I have just finished an assignment. I came back in haste and it seems I have caught you at the perfect time.
Hehe. You never change.
Although I keep a hawk's eye on you, you still manage to find an opening.
Perhaps I let my guard down around you...
Wait... Is that your intention? To slowly deceive me?
I am never with want of more stimulation around you.
I am the foremost praetor of the Lumiel Order of Holy Knights, and as such, I'll be keeping a close eye on you.
Hehe... May this year too be a blessed one.

Happy New Year, (Captain).
Let's use this first day of the new year to refocus.
Speaking of which, have you decided on what you'd like to accomplish this year?
It's important to have a goal you can really work toward every day. I can help you come up with one if you haven't already.
But if you have, it'd be nice if you shared it with me.
Why? Because it's my duty to observe you.
Allow me to witness whether or not you can take your desired goal to completion.
So let me ask you again, (Captain): what is your New Year's resolution?

Happy New Year.
It's hard to believe a fresh start is waiting on the horizon.
Looking back, I would say I've had a satisfying year.
Perhaps such satisfaction comes from achieving my previous New Year's resolution.
What about you? Were you successful in achieving yours?
Heh. I had no doubt you would. It's safe to say you've had a satisfying year as well.
You'd be fine with this year's resolution even without my watchful eye, wouldn't you? Your bright expression convinces me as much.
Of course, I have no intention of ending my observation anytime soon.

Happy New Year.
Though this past year was once again a tumultuous one, I am glad that we were able to overcome every challenge and welcome a new dawn.
A journey is fraught with danger. That is why we continue to work hard to increase our chances of survival.
But you've faced countless foes who possess strengths that cannot be overcome through effort alone.
I suppose one reason you've survived is because you're a lucky one.
I certainly wouldn't deny it. Luck is part of every battle, and good luck is important for any warrior.
But in my opinion, luck isn't randomly given. It's cultivated through your daily good deeds and the company you keep.
That's why I'd like you to remain as you are, so that we may safely reach the next year, the year after that, and the many years to come.


Cosmos

Happy New Year, (Captain).
To be able to spend New Year's alongside skydwellers is something I could never have imagined doing in the past.
This emotion that I feel... Is it joy?
You and the others will be visiting the shrine later, yes? Allow me to accompany you.
In order to better understand the hearts of skydwellers, I'd like to attend as many of these cultural events as possible.
Yes, I know how the New Year's shrine visit works. I already have a wish in mind as well.
My wish is for the wishes of Yuni, Zooey, Geo, and all others that call the skies their home to come true.
Of course, that includes your wish as well, (Captain). Let us pray for a happy new year together.


Cucouroux

Happy New Year! Why are your ears beet red? Did you go out in the cold to watch the sunrise?
Wow, they're freezing! Let ol' Cucouroux here warm 'em up for you, okay?
It's bad luck to catch a cold on the first day of the new year, y'know!
Hm? You're cold all over? What to do... What to do...
How about this, then? Huuuug!

Happy New Year! I'm looking forward to another year with you, (Captain).
Huh? What's my resolution this year? Hmm...
I want to do my best as a crew member and have fun with everyone. Yeah!
I can hope and wish for fun, but first I need to make sure I'm the best that I can be.
(Captain), whenever I see you frown, I'll be there to turn it all the way upside down!

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
Are you cold? Your face is so red. Have you been on deck this whole time?
You can't go catching a cold just as the new year begins!
I'm making my mother's secret soup right now, so I'll give you some to warm up!
Why am I making soup? I was thinking of having Silva drink it when she gets back to warm up.
Silva thinks that beginning the year on the right foot is critical to having the rest of the year be just as fruitful, so she went out to practice.
It's pretty cold out which means she should come back before nightfall, but...
Knowing Silva, she might say that harsher environments produce better training results and not come back no matter how dark it gets...
She is a professional though... I want to believe she knows her limits and will come back at a reasonable hour...
It's Silva after all... For the most part she's always got everything together, but she does do silly things sometimes...
I've just gotta be here to support her no matter what she chooses to do!
And the same goes for you, (Captain)! I'll always have your back, okay?

Happy New Year! You came at a good time! Sit down!
Hehe! These cushions are really soft, right? I specifically picked them out!
We've also got some hot tea, sweet snacks and a fluffy blanket.
I prepped the perfect kit for a bit of New Year's relaxation, so let's kick back and relax!
Why did I do all this? Well, that's because you're always busy and never take it easy.
You're going to keel over if you don't take a day off sometimes. Trust me, I've got plenty of experience with this since Silva's the same way.
That's why we're going to take the day off and relax to the max!
If there aren't enough cushions then how about using my lap? I'll clean your ears too while we're at it!

Oh, (Captain). Are you awake?
Hm? Why am I here, you ask? Hehe, still half-asleep, aren't you?
Remember? I wanted you and Silva to spend a nice and relaxing New Year's...
So I warmed up the room and prepared some fluffy cushions. You were here snacking on some treats when you started nodding off...
You looked like you were going to topple over at any second, so I let you rest your head on my lap!
It's okay, you're not heavy at all! I might not look it but I'm pretty strong, you know.
You look like you could use a little more rest. Why don't you stay where you are and go back to sleep? I'll wake you up when it's time for dinner.
There, there. Just relax... Don't forget you need to take it easy sometimes too, okay, (Captain)?

We've also got some hot tea, sweet snacks and a fluffy blanket.
I prepped the perfect kit for a bit of New Year's relaxation, so let's kick back and relax!
Why did I do all this? Well, that's because you're always busy and never take it easy.
You're going to keel over if you don't take a day off sometimes. Trust me, I've got plenty of experience with this since Silva's the same way.
That's why we're going to take the day off and relax to the max!
If there aren't enough cushions then how about using my lap? I'll clean your ears too while we're at it!

Oh, (Captain). Are you awake?
Hm? Why am I here, you ask? Hehe, still half-asleep, aren't you?
Remember? I wanted you and Silva to spend a nice and relaxing New Year's...
So I warmed up the room and prepared some fluffy cushions. You were here snacking on some treats when you started nodding off...
You looked like you were going to topple over at any second, so I let you rest your head on my lap!
It's okay, you're not heavy at all! I might not look it but I'm pretty strong, you know.
You look like you could use a little more rest. Why don't you stay where you are and go back to sleep? I'll wake you up when it's time for dinner.
There, there. Just relax... Don't forget you need to take it easy sometimes too, okay, (Captain)?

Cupitan

Happy New Year, (Captain)! Do you happen to have some time right now?
Actually, it's always been my dream to spend New Year's with friends... so I'd really like it if we could spend the day together today!
Choose: Sure!
Thank you so much! Then first, let's play the "Pin the Face on Ris" game!
It's where we try to pin all of Ris's cute features to her face, blindfolded!
Come on, let's get started! Here, you can go first—put on this blindfold!
(Captain) fumbles around, blindly pinning props onto a cutout of Tristette's face before removing the blindfold.
Hehe, it's a little crooked! But since it's Ris, she still looks so adorable!
Okay, what should we do next? I brought a lot of things with me, so we have a lot of options!
I've got a Ris kite, Ris chess... Oh, and a card game with quotes from Ris! I really like that one!
Hehe... Don't worry, we still have plenty of time until morning to get through all of these, (Captain)!

I'm guessing "good luck" is good when it comes to New Year's Day fortunes, right? Phew!
Oh, there's more stuff below too! Health, education, living situation...
Wait... There's nothing here for Ris!
That can't be right. It's gotta be here somewhere! New encounters, marriage, loss...
I'm gonna go ask the shrine workers about this! I'll bet they can help me get to the bottom of this!
(Captain) runs to stop Cupitan before she ends up making a scene.


Cupitan (Summer)

Daetta

Holy cow, look at all this New Year's food! Mm, so many nice treats!
Ooh, look at the cake shaped like an iron ball!
What's with that look on your face? The adorable iron ball shape makes me want to pig out!

Zzz...
(Captain)... Happy... New... Yawn...
Ehehe... It feels so warm in here...
Food? But I don't want to leave yet!
I guess I'll just have to... grab this tiger by the tail! Rawr!
Ehehe, caught you! Now to lay together under the darkness of the blanket!
Zzz...

I need to take a bull by the horns for a new challenge this year!
It shouldn't be a rat race; it ought to be something that only I can do...
The one and only thing catered to my strengths...
Urgh, my head hurts just thinking about it.
I know! I'll spend the year mulling over it! No one else would spend an entire year coming up with a resolution—except your one and only Daetta!

Happy New Year! (Captain), let's hop over to a temple now.
The two of us can wish for something there. It's sure to come true.
What sort of wish? Well, that's errr... I can't say.
Let me tell you something, though, (Captain)!I wanna make friends. A hundred, two hundred... Maybe more!
The more friends we make, the more fun our trip though the sky will be... right?
Huh... you mean you'll lend me a paw, (Captain)?
Teehee, I think my wish is going to be become reality before I ever make it.

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
I just decided on my New Year's resolution.
I want... to be a New Year's meal.
New Year's food is amazing. Hearty, tasty, and really fancy.
That's everything I want to be, all wrapped up in one package!
And you are what you eat, so I gotta eat a lotta delicious New Year's food!
Seconds, please!

Dante

Happy New Year.
Have you seen a... hand warmer? They're a mystical object from a distant country, I've heard.
According to rumors, it warms up right in your palm with just a gentle squeeze. And in any weather!
Heh... I'd love to lay eyes on one. That kind of magic is fascinating indeed.

Happy New Year, (Captain). I've done it! I've obtained a heating pad!
Its warmth will penetrate even the coldest of hearts... Heh! I can't wait to experience it!
Hm? Why haven't I used it yet, you ask?
Because Lord Rivera is curled up on it right now, of course! I wouldn't dream of letting my legs intrude on his space!

Hm... Yet another challenge to overcome in my training...
Oh, (Captain)! Happy New Year. May the upcoming year together be full of blessings.
I know! Why don't you join us for a game? Lord Rivera and the others are playing Pin the Tail on the Donkey with me. But as you can see...
(Captain) looks over to find Lord Rivera and the other cats rubbing against the drawing on the wall, occasionally pawing at the picture.
How can one properly attach an appendage in such a state as this? Perhaps that answer is the key to discovering inner freedom!
Without a doubt... I, Dante, shall show you how to master this metaphorical game!

Dante is curled up on top of his bed.
Oh, if it isn't (Captain). You have a puzzled expression on your face.
Are you familiar with how cats sometimes curl up into balls?
Lord Rivera and the others expertly make their bodies round and then sleep in that position.
I'm attempting it myself now... It puts one's heart at ease and brings a feeling of peace quite unlike anything else.
It seems that Lord Rivera and the others particularly enjoy curling up into balls when there's a heater around.
Perfect timing. Would you like to try it out together, (Captain)?

My goodness, what a divine sight I behold...
Lady Aselia picked up a ball of yarn that rolled out of the basket and onto the ground. She now unwinds atop the bookshelf with the yarn on her forehead.
The consummate juxtaposition of white and orange, the exquisite form of her slender waist and its ivory texture...
Is indeed quite a sight for any feline-loving eyes!
But why... Why does it tickle my fancy so?
I must understand why! (Captain), won't you observe Lady Aselia by my side so that we can uncover this mystery together?

Danua

Danua: Happy...
Gretel: Danua says happy New Year!
Danua: Sniff... Sniff... Achoo!
Hansel: Danua's not a fan of the cold. Warm her up so she doesn't catch a cold.

Danua: Snore... Snore...
Gretel: Hey, Danua! You're gonna catch a cold sleeping there!
Danua: Sleepy...
Hansel: Looks like she's all tuckered out trying to stay up past midnight.
Danua: (Captain)...
Gretel: Hahaha! Sounds like she's running into you in her dreams, (Captain)!
Hansel: Sorry, (Captain). Is it okay to let Danua continue resting her head on your lap?
Gretel: Sigh... I'll go get the blankets!

Gretel: Okay! Do you have a Queen? Yes?
Danua: Um... Here... Hehe...
Hansel: She seems happy to have given her Queen.
Gretel: Danua, it's your turn.
Danua: Two...
(Captain) hands over a Two of Hearts.
Danua: Gehehe... Two...
Hansel: She says now she has a pair.
Gretel: Hahaha! Danua seems to really like Go Fish!

Danua: Sleepy...
Gretel: Hey! It's morning already! Are you going to lay in bed forever?
Hansel: Perfect timing, (Captain). Danua's being a big sleepyhead who won't get up.
Gretel: She won't make it in time for the big New Year's meal. Hurry up and do something, Captain!
(Captain) quickly pulls the covers off Danua.
Danua: Heehee! (Captain)...
Hansel: Mhm... Yes, yes... Danua's happy that you woke her up.
Gretel: Was this her plan all along? Danua's always hungry for your attention!

Danua: Let's eat...
Hansel: That food looks so good. We dolls can't really eat, but it'll be fun just to watch.
Danua: This too...
Hansel: Danua's got more food for you, (Captain).
Gretel: Whoa! Dish out that much grub, and (Captain)'s gonna have a tough time finishing it all!
Danua: Together...
Danua takes the dish stacked high with food and puts it down as she takes a seat next to (Captain).
Hansel: I guess volume's not gonna be a problem if it's for the both of you.
Gretel: But Danua prepared this especially for you, (Captain). So make sure you eat plenty, okay?


Danua (Halloween)

Danua (SSR)

Danua: Mochi... Bam, bam...
Gretel: We know you're up for pounding some mochi, Danua, but...
Hansel: I'm not sure we'd be able to handle it, given that Gretel and I can only do the work of one doll in our current form.
Danua: It's okay. (Captain)'s with us...
Gretel: Oh, so you brought the captain too! Good going, Danua!
Hansel: Shall we begin pounding mochi, (Captain)?
Danua: Let's make it tasty...
Mochi, mochi, oh mochi... Bam, bam...

Danua: Hansel... Gretel... You suck at badminton.
Hansel: Sorry, (Captain), but do you mind being Danua's opponent instead?
Gretel: Turns out precise movements are a little too hard when me and Hansel are both behind the wheel!
Hansel: That's because you move around like a maniac.
Gretel: Say what? You move around so slowly, I'm surprised we get anywhere at all!
Danua: No fighting... I wanna play badminton with everyone.
Hansel: Sorry, Danua. How about me, you, and Gretel get on one team, and we face (Captain) together?
Gretel: Oh, I like that plan! If Danua's handling us, we won't have any problems moving!
Danua: (Captain)... Let's play!
Hansel: Guess this match is about to get serious.
Gretel: Hope you're ready to face us at max power!
Danua: Good luck... Have fun!

Danua: (Captain), wake up... First sunrise...
Heehee. Good morning, (Captain)!
Gretel: Gahaha, did that surprise you? Bet you didn't expect Danua to come wake you up!
Hansel: Danua's been waking up early every day recently so she could do it today. She wanted to wake you up before sunrise.
Why don't you go watch the first sunrise of the year with her, (Captain)?
Danua: Sunrise, and New Year's food. Together!
Together today, and forever!
Hansel: Is that why you've been waking up early? So you can keep (Captain) all to yourself, not just today but every day?
Gretel: Whoa, then that settles it. You really gotta spend at least the entire day today with Danua, (Captain)!

Danua: New Year's dishes, mochi, sugoroku, karuta, games...
Gretel: Whoa, Danua. What're you going to do with all that stuff?
Hansel: With that many things to do, by the time you get through everything it'll be nighttime!
Danua: Yep. Then we can spend time together till night...
Hansel: Aha, so you prepared all of this so (Captain) can spend the entire day playing with you, huh?
Gretel: You're so smart! It's going to be a nice and relaxing day with (Captain)!
Danua: Hm? Kotatsu and oranges... Warm?
Hansel: Oh, the kotatsu's that heating appliance we have here on the ship, right?
Gretel: Sounds perfect for lazing around all day! Excellent idea, (Captain)!

Danua: Is (Captain)... busy?
Hansel: Probably. I imagine there's a lot to take care of for the captain of a crew, especially around the new year.
Gretel: What? But then how are Danua and (Captain) gonna be together forever?
We gotta come up with a plan to kidnap (Captain) just for you!
Danua: N-no... I'll wait.
Hansel: Are you sure? Don't you have a lot you want to do with the captain for New Year's?
Danua: (Captain) will be with me for... the rest of the year.
So I'll be okay... just for New Year's.
Gretel: Gahaha! I guess there's still plenty of days left after today to celebrate together.
You're a smart cookie for noticing, Danua!
Hansel: It'll also be easier to relax for the rest of the year, once this busy period passes.
For now, we can keep the kotatsu warm until (Captain) arrives.
Danua: Okay! We wait...


Danua (Summer)

De La Fille

My New Year's resolution is to live more frugally than ever.
After all, royalty such as I must serve as a role model for the common citizen.
A fancy lifestyle doesn't suit me anyway.

Have you made any New Year's resolutions, (Captain)?
Setting new goals can often provide us with a fresh perspective!
My resolution is to keep things pure and simple. That would make my life easier.
After all, as royalty I'm always thinking of how to be a better role model for the common citizen.
And also...
It'd be a great pleasure if I could spend more time with you this year, (Captain).

My New Year's resolution this time? It's to be strong and resolute in the face of any adversity.
I'm willing to tackle any hardships head-on.
Haha. And when I do, (Captain), I hope you'll be watching.

You want to hear my resolutions for this year? As usual I plan to be frugal and live within my means.
That's the best way to stay out of the poorhouse in my opinion.
Royalty shouldn't be concerned with wrapping themselves in extravagance. We're constantly viewed as role models by the people.
On the other hand, being too thrifty brings its own set of problems.
Tighten up where you need to, and don't be so stingy where you don't.
Variation is the spice of life!
Being diverse in what I do is my goal for this year.
Okay, now it's your turn. What are your resolutions?

Sweetened chestnut paste with herring roe and rolled kelp... Black beans, dried anchovies, red-and-white fish cake... That should be everything.
Next for the rice cake soup and dried bonito flakes...
Oh, (Captain). Happy New Year. This is going to be a wonderful year.
If you don't mind, could I ask you to bring that osechi to the dining table?
I can't really pull away from the soup right now.
Mm-hm, that's right. I made it all by myself.
Haha... Yeah, I guess you could say I went all out today.
You can count on it being real tasty! I'm sure you're going to love it!

Haha... Yeah, I guess you could say I went all out today.
You can count on it being real tasty! I'm sure you're going to love it!


De La Fille (Summer)

My New Year's resolution is to live more frugally than ever.
After all, royalty such as I must serve as a role model for the common citizen.
A fancy lifestyle doesn't suit me anyway.

Have you made any New Year's resolutions, (Captain)?
Setting new goals can often provide us with a fresh perspective!
My resolution is to keep things pure and simple. That would make my life easier.
After all, as royalty I'm always thinking of how to be a better role model for the common citizen.
And also...
It'd be a great pleasure if I could spend more time with you this year, (Captain).

My New Year's resolution this time? It's to be strong and resolute in the face of any adversity.
I'm willing to tackle any hardships head-on.
Haha. And when I do, (Captain), I hope you'll be watching.

You want to hear my resolutions for this year? As usual I plan to be frugal and live within my means.
That's the best way to stay out of the poorhouse in my opinion.
Royalty shouldn't be concerned with wrapping themselves in extravagance. We're constantly viewed as role models by the people.
On the other hand, being too thrifty brings its own set of problems.
Tighten up where you need to, and don't be so stingy where you don't.
Variation is the spice of life!
Being diverse in what I do is my goal for this year.
Okay, now it's your turn. What are your resolutions?

Sweetened chestnut paste with herring roe and rolled kelp... Black beans, dried anchovies, red-and-white fish cake... That should be everything.
Next for the rice cake soup and dried bonito flakes...
Oh, (Captain). Happy New Year. This is going to be a wonderful year.
If you don't mind, could I ask you to bring that osechi to the dining table?
I can't really pull away from the soup right now.
Mm-hm, that's right. I made it all by myself.
Haha... Yeah, I guess you could say I went all out today.
You can count on it being real tasty! I'm sure you're going to love it!

Happy New Year, (Captain).
Did you sleep well? There's nothing better than waking up refreshed to a bright morning.
Huh? You were having a good dream?
Well, that's not a bad thing. But when you open your eyes, what you'll find is reality.
Don't get lost in dreams. You must acknowledge what's in front of you as you walk the path forward.

Happy New Year, (Captain).
I was just thinking about all of the travels we had together this last year.
Heh... Looking back now, it seems that nearly every day we were off on a new adventure taking care of one mission after another.
It's been quite a year, (Captain). I do hope next year is just as exciting.
Here's to another year of adventures, and another year of success!

Uh-huh... Mmhmmm...
So you'd like me to use this mallet to pound the mochi in that mortar?
Heh, you don't have a thing to worry about. I'm not about to let any young kids get the better of me.
Here goes! First to draw it back...
And a one... two...
Agh!
M-my back... Nnngh!
I-I'm sorry, (Captain)... It doesn't look like I can take a single step...
Ooouch!

The first sunrise of the new year... What a grand, majestic sight.
It's enough to make these worries about the future seem small and insignificant.
Oh? Why am I worried, you ask? Well, if I were to ever again find myself without a post...
No, no more. This is not a topic to be spoken of so early in the year, and especially not to one as young as yourself.
Besides, do I not belong to this crew now? That's more than enough for me, (Captain). Hah-hah-hah-hah!

A new year! A chance to become a new person!
I swear I won't complain, or rush recklessly into trouble anymore! I shall change for the better!
Huh? Oh, it's just you, (Captain).
Haha... I apologize for making a fool of myself in front of you.
Since you're already here... I should make my vows again for my captain.
I promise to become a man capable of facing any challenge!
You see, watching over you and the crew reminds me that anything is possible so long as we stick together and protect one another.
Besides, age is just a number. You never stop learning if you keep at it.
Hahaha!

It's New Year's already? Time has really flown by since I joined the crew.
Umm, Captain. I actually don't like fighting all that much, and I just hope it's not becoming a problem.
It's okay? Thank goodness. I wasn't sure what I'd do otherwise.
My priestess studies, instrument practice, and skyfarer duties... There's so much to do, but I'll give it my best this year too!
Here's to another great year, Captain!

Mrgh... The sun's not up yet?
Hm? You're curious as to why I want to see the first sunrise of the new year?
Well, everyone in the crew is just... so... pretty... Yawn...
Zzz...
Ngh... It's so bright...
Huh? Ahaha, sorry for falling asleep. And thanks for putting the blanket on me.
Ah... The sunrise of the new year is so... beautiful. Making a wish while it's within view is the perfect timing.
Wanna do it together, (Captain)?
...
You want to know what I wished for? Hm... That's staying a secret.

Happy New Year, (Captain).
Would you like to go to the shrine with me? I want to make a wish.
I could never muster up the courage before, but I told myself this would be the year I finally do it...
My wish? That's a secret. But you'll find out next month.

Wow... Look at all the people here for the New Year's shrine visit. I wonder what they're all praying for.
Me? I pray for the same thing every year—
That I'll continue to improve and become a better person than I was the year before.
Oh, and there's one other huge thing on my wish list.
You want to hear it? Well, too bad—it's a secret.
Don't even tell anyone that I have this secret wish, okay?
The thing I said before? Sure, you can tell people that much.
Because that's more like a personal vow I've taken on rather than a wish, really.
But if it should ever come true...
That'll be when I let you in on the secret, (Captain).

Hey, since we're here at the shrine already, why don't we try drawing our fortunes? I hear they're pretty accurate here.
Hehe, but I'm kind of scared. What if I get a bad fortune?
Oh! Look, (Captain). I got the best luck!
"Your wish will come true. Take action." Hmm...
Okay. I've decided on my goal for this year.
Hehe... Maybe it won't hurt to be a little ambitious. What do you think?

Dorothy

Happy New Year!
This year isn't going to take care of itself! I've got a lot of work to do!

Happy New Year, (Captain).
Is this a dream? No... I really do get to ring in the new year with you!
Leave everything to me this year! I'll work harder than ever!

Happy New Year to you! Did you have a nice dream to start the year?
Mine was amazing! You came swooping in on a hawk and delivered eggplants at my feet! I think that means I'll live long and prosper!
Heehee. I'm off to a great start with this vision.

Happy New Year, Master!
Today is one of those days where you just want to laze about, isn't it? Is that what you want to do today too, Master?
Then go for it! I'll take care of all the pressing matters so you can enjoy a full day of luxury.
First I'll get the room warm and cozy followed by feeding you snacks.
See, I know exactly what it takes to make you comfortable.
So relax and put yourself in the hands of good ol' Dorothy!

Wake up, Master! It's almost time for breakfast.
I've come to rouse you, just as you asked!
You were quite set on starting the new year right, after all—no more sleeping in, the regular taking of three meals a day...
That insistence on doing everything right and proper... Why, I find it very respectable, I do!
It will all go over well, I'm sure of it. You have me, you know, and I will prepare everything you need for a most faultless living!
Oh, we'll have a lovely year together! I shall attend to your every need, so you needn't worry about anything!


Dorothy and Claudia

Dorothy: Good morning, Master! C'mon, Claudia, say your New Year's greetings!
Claudia: Ah, do you mean the special greeting we came up with last night? On your mark, get set...
Dorothy & Claudia: Lovely New Year! Whee!
A splendid LNY to you.
Dorothy: Wha? I thought we agreed on something more cutesy!
Claudia: But LNY is cutesy. Then again, we did decide that late at night...

Dorothy: Happy New Year, Master!
Claudia: Happy New Year, (Captain)!
Dorothy: The first thing you should do this New Year's is eat this meal I just finished preparing!
And of course, I will spoon-feed you every bite!
Claudia: Stop right there, Dorothy. The first thing (Captain) should do is get into the bath I just finished scrubbing.
Dorothy: What! Food comes first!
Claudia: How one begins the year means everything. For a clean year, (Captain) must have a clean body.
Dorothy: Master.
Claudia: (Captain).
Dorothy & Claudia: Which will you choose?

Claudia: Yawn... New Year's is a time for ease. It seems even I am wont to lounge about...
Dorothy: Well now, Claudia! The new year has just started and already you are being idle!
We must never be remiss in our duties to our Master!
Claudia: I've already tidied up—hours ago. I believe I've earned my rest.
And I am certain that even (Captain) wishes to be at leisure on New Year's Day, without worry of anyone's censure.
Therefore, there should be little issue... If I, too, take a... Zzz...
Dorothy: Oh, I do say! Claudia!

Dorothy: Master, happy New Year!
Claudia and I just got back from our shrine visit!
Claudia: I took the liberty of pulling a fortune for you while we were there.
I'll read it out loud, so pay attention.
Ahem... "If you pay the hardworking maid in your service, you'll be rewarded with luck."
"But your year will be filled with incredible fortune if you allow said maid to be accompanied by a certain beauty whenever she's on break."
Dorothy: Huh...
Wait, Claudia! Don't just make up stuff that's not written on there!
Claudia: Tch, so you saw through me...
Dorothy: Who wouldn't!
Master, I actually pulled a fortune for you too!
"Entrust your body and soul to the maid by your side for good luck. Your lucky item is a flamethrower!"
Claudia: I am certain none of those words are written on that slip of paper.
Dorothy: Aw... Well... At least keep that stuff in mind for this year, Master!

Dorothy: I'm so happy we were able to watch the first sunrise together.
Claudia: Now, (Captain), allow us to formally wish you...
Dorothy & Claudia: Happy New Year.
Claudia: And, as per your request, we've made preparations for a mochi-pounding event.
We've bought the flour, steamed the rice, and mashed the red beans.
I only wish Eugen weren't parading about in a fundoshi and being an affront to decency.
Dorothy: As for you, Master, we have some lovely happi coats prepared, so what say we get you changed?

Drang

Ngh... Urgh... Morning, Cap'n...
After the countdown last night, I wasn't able to sleep til right before sunrise.
Time sure flies when you're partying through New Year's Eve!
Hm? Say, have you seen Sturm around? I can't seem to find her anywhere...
What! She's out to town already? Come on, let's go find her!

Oh! Good morning to you, (Captain)! Is today the start of a happy new year for you?
Ah, you're wondering why I'm not up so early?
Heheheh... I've got it all figured out, you see!
If you stay up all night on New Year's Eve, then you don't have to wake up early to see the first dawn!
That's why I'm so pumped! And also why I'm so sleepy!
So... if Sturm comes by... to go to the festival... wake me up... would ya?
Zzz...

Ahhh, slept all the way through to the new year.
I really wanted to watch the first sunrise with Sturm...
But I guess we'll just have to wait till next year!
All right, (Captain). What do you say you and I go to town and enjoy the festivities?

(Captain), happy New Year!
I just have one small complaint...
Why didn't you wake me up?
You're under no obligation to do so? But I thought we were friends!
Sigh... I missed the first sunrise again...

(Captain)! Happy New Year!
Sorry, I overslept again... I guess we'll have to save watching the sunrise together on New Year's for next year.
Oh, but something nice happened! Sturm appeared in my very first dream of the year!
Good mooorning, Sturm! You're up early again this year!
See, I got up early this time too. It's not like I sleep in every single year!
What do you think? Pretty good, right? You can give me a compliment right about now, you know?

Then Sturm started strangling me and I woke up from the dream.
She seemed to be the same as ever in my dream, so I'm sure it means we'll get along this year too!
I'm looking forward to spending another year with you too, (Captain)! Let's have a great time!

Drusilla

Sigh... Oh, (Captain)!
Happy New Year!
Why the sigh? Well I... I was just thinking of home.
The store is always so busy around the end of the year. The first few days of the new year are really the only time I get to see Father...
D-don't get the wrong idea though! It's not like I want to meet my parents or anything!
It's true! Stop patting me on the head!

(Captain)... Has the first sun... dawned?
It's so dark and so cold. You know we don't have to be outside to see the first light... Yawn...
What? N-no! I am not a child! And I am certainly not slee— Yawn...
Huh? What is this? If I drink it, I won't be sleepy?
Oh! It's coffee! I know about this!
But it's so bitte— Nothing. I said nothing...<br /W-well, I'm not really sleepy... But I will have some nonetheless.
...!
It's so bitte—
R... Rich... It has a rich quality to it. Yes, a very adult flavor.
(W-when is the sun going to rise! Make haste, Mr. Sun!)

Do I know what a kite is? O-of course I do!
(What is this black magic (Captain) speaks of! Perhaps...)
Oh, do you mean the bird? Are we going to eat it for the new year?
What is this red piece of paper? This is a kite? It flies?
(Could it be that something so frill can do that...)
(Perhaps the color is due to an infusion of blood from a bird which allows it to fly...)
I remember now! We must perform the sacred blood ritual for this to fly!
Why are you patting me on the head? I said hurry up and make preparation for the ritual!

New Year's rupies? Yes, of course I know of the tradition!
(Actually, I've never heard of it! I'm reminded of how I thought we were going to fry birds known as kites last year, but (Captain) was referring to something else entirely...)
(New... Year's... rupies... It's probably some sort of game where you take a whole bunch of rupies and try to guess which ones were freshly minted for the New Year!)
Come play New Year's rupies with me, (Captain)! I'm pretty good at it!
Hm? What's the envelope for?
(How many rupies can you even fit in here... Maybe we're supposed to tear it into pieces—each one representing a rupie!)
Haha, yeah, I know what New Year's rupies is all about! I'll start tearing now—
Huh? What are you patting me on the head for? Let's get the game going already!

Kakizome? Of course I know what that is!
It's a New Year's treat made of white and orange persimmons...
Or is that what you thought I'd say? I know it's the word for writing down your goals for the new year!
Hehehe... I am not the same person I was last year! You won't get the chance to ruffle my hair!
Because I had the ladies of the crew teach me all about the traditions from different islands!
A true lady never neglects her daily studies! That's what Grandmother always says.
Hey, why're you rubbing my head? I got the right answer this time!
Because I'm a good girl who deserves a pat for studying? You're just going to do it no matter what, aren't you!

(Could it be that something so frill can do that...)
(Perhaps the color is due to an infusion of blood from a bird which allows it to fly...)
I remember now! We must perform the sacred blood ritual for this to fly!
Why are you patting me on the head? I said hurry up and make preparation for the ritual!

New Year's rupies? Yes, of course I know of the tradition!
(Actually, I've never heard of it! I'm reminded of how I thought we were going to fry birds known as kites last year, but (Captain) was referring to something else entirely...)
(New... Year's... rupies... It's probably some sort of game where you take a whole bunch of rupies and try to guess which ones were freshly minted for the New Year!)
Come play New Year's rupies with me, (Captain)! I'm pretty good at it!
Hm? What's the envelope for?
(How many rupies can you even fit in here... Maybe we're supposed to tear it into pieces—each one representing a rupie!)
Haha, yeah, I know what New Year's rupies is all about! I'll start tearing now—
Huh? What are you patting me on the head for? Let's get the game going already!

Kakizome? Of course I know what that is!
It's a New Year's treat made of white and orange persimmons...
Or is that what you thought I'd say? I know it's the word for writing down your goals for the new year!
Hehehe... I am not the same person I was last year! You won't get the chance to ruffle my hair!
Because I had the ladies of the crew teach me all about the traditions from different islands!
A true lady never neglects her daily studies! That's what Grandmother always says.
Hey, why're you rubbing my head? I got the right answer this time!
Because I'm a good girl who deserves a pat for studying? You're just going to do it no matter what, aren't you!


Eahta

Happy New Year. Have you decided on a resolution for the new year?
The start of a new year is as fine a point as any to mark a new beginning.

The dawn of a new year is upon us. The novelty of such an event has long since passed, but we all require points of demarcation.
Lose these guiding moments, and you will grow aimless, time passing without meaning. People are such weak creatures.
If you too have a path to seek, pledge to follow it in the new year.

A splendid new year to you. I've lived long enough to forget my age, but even still, a new year represents a turning point for even me.
A person's spirit warps throughout their daily life. This is not a bad thing.
However, if this warping is not corrected, ambition becomes easy to lose. And that is surely worse than death.
One must regulate him or herself, and return the soul to its original elasticity. The beginning of the year is a perfect day to begin this process.

Happy New Year. Though the clouds continue to drift along, the beautiful morning sunlight gives us pause.
Whether such beauty is necessary for one who treads the path of the mighty warrior is a question that has many answers.
At the very least, a katana must be stiff as well as soft.
It is a matter of proportions. But that, too, can come in an endless number of forms.
Intriguing, is it not? This world we live in is a most glorious kaleidoscope.
Bask in the joy that the world offers, child. Even the greatest hardships can provide utter bliss if you let them!

The new year is but a concept created by civilization as a reference for themselves.
However, the longer one lives, the more one's life becomes an endless routine. It is necessary to have junctures within the everyday.
Reflecting on oneself at such junctures is an etiquette for living.
Those who fail to show themselves courtesy will fail to show others courtesy.
Those who look down on themselves will look down on others.
One cannot expect to live their lives without effort in this world.
Live earnestly, and enjoy your life earnestly. For this, I offer my well wishes to you for the new year!


Ejaeli

Hmm hmm, mmph. (Happy New Year.)
Mmph! Hmm mmm hm. (Let's sing the first song of the new year!)

Hmm mmm, mmph... (It doesn't matter if the new year comes like clockwork. Each one always feels refreshing.)
Hmm... Mm mm mph... (Judging from the time I've spent with the crew over the past year...)
Mmph mm hmm! (We're in store for another fun one.)
Hmm, mmm! (Oh, I can't stop shaking from excitement!)

Hngh mmph hnngh! (Here we go again! Happy New Year!)
Mmph mm. (Every year since I've joined the crew has been a blast.)
Hmmph mmph... (It's so much better than all those years I spent alone...)
Mmph ummph hnngh! (Let's have another great year, (Captain)!)

Mmm... hmm mmph? (Sob... Oh, (Captain). What's wrong?)
Hmm? Mmm mmph... hmph? (You want to know why I'm upset?)
Mmm, hmmph mmm... (Well, I went to the shrine to get my fortune told...)
Mmph... hmmm... mmm... (And... it said I'm going to have bad luck... Sob...)
Mmm, mmph! (Hey, why are you laughing!)
Hmm mmph mmm? (What? My luck can't get any worse than that?)
Mmph, mmm... hmm? (I don't have anywhere to go but up?)
Mmm, hmmph. Mmph. (W-well, you do have a point. My luck's already about as bad as it can be.)
Mmm hmmph. (Thank you.)
Hmm mmm, mmph! (You made me feel a lot better, (Captain)!)
Mmph! Hmm mmm! (Okay! I'll do my best not to lose to some silly fortune!)

Mm! Hmm, mmm mph! (Ah, (Captain)! Happy New Years.)
Mmm? Mmph, hmmm. (What am I doing, you ask? Erm, I'm preparing a few dishes—just to ring in the new year.)
Mm... Hmm mm mmph. (Er... I can't taste the food myself, but I know just how much seasoning to put in. It's all memorized.)
Hmm... Mmph, mmm. (However, I'm just the slightest bit worried. Would you terribly mind it if I ask you to be my taste-tester?)
Mmmph! Hmm mmm. (Thank you! Well, er, in that case...)
M, mm... Hmmph. (W-would you please say "ahh?")
Hmmm... Mm, mmph mmm? (Oh... W-why is this so embarrassing?)


Elea

New Year's celebrations at the shrines bring out the best in festival food.
Will you join me in sampling what the food stalls have to offer today?
Choose: I'm down!
Okay. Now what should we start with?
Buttered potatoes, briny-bites, cotton candy, candied apples...
Everything looks delectable. I can't make up my mind.
But part of the allure of exploring food choices is the anticipation of discovery.
Haha, we have the whole day ahead of us. Take your time.

And with that, the New Year's spread is complete. Thank you for pitching in, (Captain).
Once the whole family's up and assembled, we can get breakfast started.
Hm? You think I'm a good cook?
Well, putting this dish together isn't a matter of skill per se. It's more like a routine at this point.
It's just something I made every New Year's when I was with the Ditoria Knights.
But the thing I'm worried about is the taste.
Over time, I came to understand what set our members' taste buds on fire, but as for non-Ditoria Knights...
The crew loves Yuisis's cooking?
That's wonderful news then. She and I basically cook the same way.
Still though, I can't get over my jitters about the mashed sweet potatoes and the omelet rolls. Could be too sweet.
Yuisis loves sweets, so I kind of...
Oh well. Could you please carry this over to the mess hall, (Captain)?
I'll go wake up Yuisis and the others.
Ah, one last thing.
Happy New Year, (Captain)!
Yuisis and I, along with everyone else, put our trust in you.


Elmelaura

Happy New Year!
Here, why don't you take this fortune cookie to test your luck for the new year!

Happy New Year! You can leave preparation of the New Year's feast to me!
You know what they say—the bigger, the better. But I pay attention to the details too!
I made sure to use only the finest fish, vegetables, and mon— Ahem, I mean meat!
Ehehe, that's right... Meat, I said!

I know just how hungry everyone in the crew is, so I made sure to whip up a gourmet extravaganza!
Every dish comes in seriously epic proportions, so don't lose your marbles when you actually see them!
Ehehe... I'm practically in culinary heaven with everyone so graciously enjoying my food!

(Captain)! It's time to make mochi to celebrate the new year! Let's put our love into it!
Here, use this hammer and pound the rice according to my rhythm.
Ready, set...
Bam, bam, bam bam!
Just like that! One more round!
Bam, bam, bam, bam!
Everyone, we'll be done with the mochi soon! You'll only have to wait a little bit longer!

Happy New Year! Have some red-bean soup made with freshly-pounded mochi!
(Captain), do you prefer smooth or coarse red-bean paste?
People prefer different pastes, after all! Of course I prepared both kinds!
Oh, and for those that don't have a sweet tooth, I also made some mochi soup!
New Year's mochi is considered lucky food, so I definitely want everyone to have some!
It's a chef's job to make sure her dear crew members all have something to suit their palates!


Elmott

You want to stay up past your bedtime tonight?
Fat chance! Run off to bed, kid. And pull the covers tight. You wouldn't want to catch a cold.

Yo, gimme your hand. Huh? Don't be a baby about it.
You did well to survive for another year. You're more resourceful than I give you credit for.
Now don't go getting hurt this year either.

Happy New...
Well, someone looks tired. Guess you stayed up to watch the sunrise last night.
Maybe it's 'cause the air's so clear up here, but that was one beautiful fireball.
Heh heh heh. Man, I hope one day my flames can be as pretty as that.

Hyahaha! They're swelling up nice and big!
Hey, relax. I'll be done roasting these in a jiffy.
Wash your hands, get some drinks ready, and wait for Blazing Elmott to serve 'em up!
You and the rest of the crew had a heck of a time beating the mochi, and now it's my turn to scorch the little munchies to a perfect texture.
Whoa, hands off. Wouldn't wanna burn yourself now.

Tch... Is the shrine always this crowded on New Year's?
Wishin' for sound health is all well and good, but what's the point if you end up catchin' a cold?
I mean look at you, (Captain). Your nose is all red.
If you're cold, come closer. I'll warm you up with my flames.
Huh? Don't worry about all that. It won't be a bonfire or anything. That'd be dangerous with all these people around.
But since we're already here, we're gonna make a wish. Just be sure not to get sick.

Happy New Year, (Captain).
I truly hope that less people will get hurt this year than last year.
I know that battles are unavoidable and traveling has its dangers... but do try to take care of yourself, (Captain).
Of course I'll do anything I can to help you, so let's make this year a great one!

Mimimimi-miii...
Huh? Ah! (Captain)!
You startled me... I was just warming up my voice...
Don't you feel that the air is a little clearer thanks to the new year? It makes me want to sing.
It feels nice having you around. I never noticed it before.
This year, even if it helps only a little bit, I'll sing for everyone's benefit.
I look forward to where you'll take us, (Captain)!

Happy New Year! A brand new year is upon us!
Have you decided on a New Year's resolution yet?
My resolution is to finally be able to defeat mon...
M-monst...
S-sorry... Just thinking about monsters is making me dizzy.
But don't worry! I've... still got a lot of room to improve!
I know I have a long way to go, but I hope you'll put up with me for another year!

(Captain), happy New Year.
I'm sorry you had to rescue me from trouble so many times this past year.
But this new year, I'm going to try to be more brave like you and everyone else on the ship...
I'll d-do my best to, anyway.
It's kind of hard to say confidently... But this is my resolutionl, and I wanted you to be the first to hear it.
I actually made a song to help encourage me. It's about a fearless warrior who faces every kind of challenge head-on.
Would you mind having a listen?
Thank you very much!
Then without further ado, please listen to this song that's based on you!

Happy New Year, (Captain). Thank you for everything last year.
I'll work hard so everyone on this ship can really enjoy themselves and relax through my music.
I'm still afraid of monsters... but I'll try not to slow everyone down by jumping at every little thing!
I'll try... to the best of my abilities...
W-well, I guess I'll go ahead and play the first song of the year!
It's a new piece that I composed in hopes that we'll all have a wonderful new year!

Enyo

Happy New Year, (Captain). Here's to another year hunting you.
I've prepared the traditional New Year's spread for the occasion. Care to partake?
Of course it's homemade.
I saw this type of food while walking around a village with Athena a long time ago. But this year I thought I would try my hand at it.
Why did I make it, you ask?
Because I want you to be as happy and healthy as you possibly can be.
When I finally destroy you, it won't do if you're in anything but perfect shape.
Well, won't you dig in?
Hehe. Fine. We'll take some to the mess hall and share with Athena.

Happy New Year, (Captain).
My resolution for the year?
I suppose I want to better suppress my nature as a Primal Beast.
Enjoyment can be derived from misery and grief only when accompanied with feelings of great loss.
But alas, such a lofty goal is out of my reach for now.
So I will try and abstain this year.
It seems the time to hunt you is still a ways off.

Well if it isn't (Captain). To what do I owe the pleasure?
You've come to draw a fortune for the new year, you say?
I just happened to draw my New Year fortune with Athena earlier.
I drew a "great fortune." It even said my wishes will be fulfilled soon.
Hehe. I usually wouldn't pay such frivolous things any mind, but I thought I'd try and give it a go.
It's also precisely why you should give it your all this year, (Captain).
Give your all to making my dream of cutting you down a reality, hehe.

Erika

Wow, look at all these people... We'd best be careful not to get separated, (Captain).
I heard it would be crowded, but I didn't think it would be this crowded...
We have shrines on Roanne Island too, but they're built on a much smaller scale. You don't see people gathering around them either.
And they're meant for praying only—no charms to buy, no shops of any kind.
Which is why I'm really looking forward to today! Stick with me till the end, (Captain)—you won't regret it!
Let's start off by getting our fortune slips! C'mon!
Hm... My slips says "uncertain luck." I don't know what to make of that...
But it also says, "The one you wait for will not come, but you will receive tidings."
Tidings, huh... Well, any lead on Luka at all is definitely a boon.
Wait, I'm getting way too somber for good luck to come my way. Not the best way to start New Year's—
Oh! I almost forgot!
Happy New Year, (Captain)! Let's make it a great one!

Hnnngh, it's freezing! It's always extra chilly just before dawn...
I came early expecting no one would be here... I guess I was wrong, huh.
Sorry to drag you out of bed at the very start of the new year just to come to this shrine with me.
This little shrine is famous for matchmaking, but I've heard it brings good luck to all kinds of relationships... even travelers looking for someone important.
That's why I wanted to try visiting this place at least once!
Thanks for coming with me, (Captain)!
Heheh, I'll treat you to something nice for tagging along. Ask away! Whatever you want, you got it!
Oh...
Look, the first sunrise of the new year! Isn't it beautiful!
Here's to hoping I can find at least a couple of leads about Luka's whereabouts this year...


Erin

Happy... New Year.
My New Year's resolution... is to be more like you and go out more often.
But I don't think I'll start until New Year's is over.
I don't want to be out there with so many people around.

Happy New Year. Looking forward to another year with you, (Captain).
What? Will I go visit a temple to celebrate the new year? No thanks. Too crowded.
I'd rather make frost ornaments in my room than be lost in waves of people.
But if you really want me to go... I guess I'll think about it.

Happy New Year. I'm looking forward to spending more time with you.
Hm? This? It's osechi.
I read about it in a book. Some cultures eat this as a New Year's dish.
I wanted to see if I could make it too.
Would you like to try some? This is my first time making it, so I don't know if the flavor is right or not...
Good idea. Let's eat it together.
Hehe... I like this way of celebrating the new year much more than going to a temple or shrine.

Happy New Year. I hope this year is a good one.
I tried making something else beside osechi this year. This dish is called ozoni.
The books I read say this is an essential soup for celebrating New Year's.
Would you mind having a taste and letting me know what you think?
By the way, the book also mentioned that there are some people who swear by miso stock and others by soy sauce stock.
Which do you prefer?

(Captain), happy New Year.
It's almost become a tradition to spend it relaxing together, hasn't it?
Being around you always soothes me...
Is it because I'm with you... or...
Hehe... The food's getting cold. We should eat first, then chat later.

Eso

Happy New Year, Captain!
It feels good to have a fresh start.
This is a very important day to my tribe. The end of one year marks the birth of another.
I pray that my family and the rest of my people are safe and healthy.
I'll be doing my best for the sake of my tribe and my friends on the ship. Let's make this a good year, Captain.

(Captain)! Help!
Streamers! They popped streamers and long ribbons came out!
Now I'm tangled and can't get them off!
Help me, (Captain)!

We have journeyed far together, (Captain).
I feel like we have become family.
Siblings in arms and in spirit.
So for all of you, I must become stronger.
I will protect my family. I will cherish my family. And I will never betray my family.
Please put your trust in me this year too, (Captain).

I drew a New Year's fortune. It said "terrible luck." What does this mean, (Captain)?
I will have the worst possible luck... all year? I cannot... believe this...
Aaah!
Oh. It is only snow from the branches overhead...
I was not scared! Only... on my guard.
If I am cursed with terrible luck, then I must be cautious.
By the way, (Captain). Is a person permitted... to draw a second fortune?

Another year has passed. You've grown, (Captain).
So have I. I'm braver than ever before.
I believe I have more room for improvement. For sure!
And you will become an even greater person, (Captain). My gut tells me so.
Let us make this another fine year, (Captain).

Estarriola

Hum... The dawn of a new year, (Captain)...
Relax. The start of a new beginning is no time to be fussy, but to enjoy the comforts of one's own home.
Hum... Beg pardon? You say I'm always in relaxation mode?
Well, well, you got me there.

Snore... Hum-mum-mum...
Has the previous year rolled over already? Well then, young skyfarer, I wish you a happy New Year.
Snore... Enjoy these halcyon days at your leisure.
Hm? You want to play a round of badminton with me?
Anything for you, (Captain), but with one small favor: I will be snoozing as usual, so do go easy on me.

Yawn... Kotatsu are beguiling objects.
Sitting in them is like bathing in a hot spring, growing sleepy from the warmth.
I'm glad I've idled many years away, if only so I could discover these blessed objects.
Snore...
Hm? I'll catch a cold if I fall asleep in the kotatsu?
Hah, my body defies the laws of life. Sickness cannot ail me.
Yawn... Leave me to rest in peace, if you please.

Snore... There's nothing like a New Year's nap beneath the kotatsu.
But a kotatsu experience isn't complete without one more thing.
What is it, you ask? Why, the cold mikan on top, of course.
At first, I tried to eat them at room temperature, but I found myself craving something cold while under the warm kotatsu.
Hum... But it needs to be completely chilled for this to work.
Luckily, this is a conundrum that some magic can fix.
Yawn... And now it's ice cold. Flash freezing something is easy, even for an old sorcerer like me.
Snore... You should come relax under the kotatsu too.

Snore... No... This won't do... This won't do at all...
This warmth... and the sense of safety that accompanies it... It makes me ever so sleepy...
I am unable to withstand the drowsiness induced by this kotatsu... Is there some sort of magic at play here?
At this rate, I'll end up falling deep asleep... Yawn...
What? That's the same as always?
Hehehe... I suppose you're right... But say what you will...
You, young skyfarer, also lack the desire to ward off this wave of fatigue... Yawn...


Eugen

Happy New Year to ya, Captain!
Here's to another great year ahead!

Happy New Year, (Captain).
Heh heh. And what a happy new year it is! It's been great to watch the first sunrise with ya.
Well, it's nice and all to see the first sunrise from an airship, but...
I still think the best sunrise is the one on the shores of Auguste.
I remember standing there with her and Apollo. We all wished it'd last forever.
Oh ho, apologies. Wouldn't wanna talk the sunrise away, heh heh.

Bahaha! It looks like we're facing another new year together, you and me, (Captain).
Honestly though, I feel like the crew has truly become something like a second family to me.
I'm proud to have been able to watch you grow over the years.
Hey, don't give me that look now! Watchin' over you youngsters is my privilege as your elder.
Hm? What about Apollo, you say?
Don't be foolish, that's a whole different story.
But I don't need to tell you that... I'll be upfront and honest with her from here on out.
I may have strayed from the path along the way, but I'm still her father after all... Heh.

It's one of life's mysteries... As soon as the clock strikes twelve on New Year's Eve, beer just tastes better than it did the year before!
Hm? Oh, don't worry your pretty little head, Captain. I'm just a little buzzed, no more. That's the sweet spot!
Now! How about we trade New Year's resolutions?
Hehe... I've actually been cookin' mine up all year.
(Captain), I want you to keep an eye on me an' make sure I stick to it!
My resolution this year is to... Hic! To quit drinkin'...
Aw, damn it. I broke it already...

All right, (Captain), keep it up! Now you're puttin' your back into it! Your mochi poundin' form's lookin' pretty good.
But poundin' mochi comes down to more than just swingin' the mallet. I'm about to show you how it's done.
Y'know how I've been flippin' the mochi when you raise the mallet? That helps get rid of the grainy rice texture.
And I'll have ya know I've always been really good at it. No matter how fast you swing that mallet, you won't crush my hand.
C'mon, (Captain). Give it a try.
Go, go! Just like that... One more time! Nice job. Let's pick up the pace!
Yo! Hup! Hah! Hmph! Yah! Whoop! Hey! Hyah!
Yeah! I knew those muscles weren't just for show! Guess I oughta get serious... Let's go, (Captain)! Give it everythin' you've got!
Heave-ho, heave-ho, heave-ho, heave-ho! Heave-ho, heave-ho, heave-ho, heave-ho!
All right! Now we'll be able to enjoy some tasty mochi. Bahaha! I can't wait.

Europa

(Captain), happy New Year.
The others in the crew tell me that is the greeting mortals use on this occasion.
I apologize in advance, but I'll have to take some time off.
I must offer a New Year's greeting to Gabriel as well.
But don't fret. I will return as soon as I've had the chance to say my salutations.
This is where I belong now.

Happy New Year, (Captain).
How has the last year treated you? I hope I feature in at least one of your fond memories.
The times I've shared with you glimmer like stars in the firmament of my memory.
I'll do my best to be at least some small part of your coming year too.
Let's make all the good memories we can.

(Captain), happy New Year.
Thank you for always taking care of me. I'll be in your capable hands this year as well.
I am about to visit Gabriel to give my New Year's greeting.
Would you care to join me?
I have heard that it is a mortal custom to bring those close to you for the trip.
It would also be nice to have another person aid me in recounting what we have been up to this past year to her.
Are you sure?
Thank you very much. It pleases me greatly to have you along.
Shall we head out then?

(Captain). Forgive my tardiness, but Happy New Year.
You visited the shrine early this morning, finished your New Year's greetings, and enjoyed your special dishes.
What are you planning to do now?
Hmm... There's still a lot of daylight left, but you intend to spend it resting? Are you feeling unwell?
You're having a lazy new year? I never realized such a way to enjoy this day existed. I'm ashamed of my lack of awareness.
In that case... would you mind if I lazed about with you?
I thought it might auger well for the coming year if we were to begin it by lying next to each other enjoying a nap.
Now then, (Captain). Let's retire to your room. I'd like you to teach me everything that having a lazy new year entails.

Happy New Year, (Captain). I look forward to another wonderful year together.
...
Oh, forgive me. I was in a bit of a daze for a moment.
I had a little to drink at the New Year's party that began early this morning, so I'm feeling rather giddy...
At this rate, I may end up acting somewhat bolder than usual.
I'm afraid I'll show you a side of myself that I normally keep hidden...
(Captain), I know this is sudden, but you mustn't come to my room tonight.
I have a feeling that if you do, something... unexpected might happen.
Have I made myself clear? Under no circumstances are you to come to my room.
No matter what...

Take this water, (Captain). Have a sip.
Don't swallow. It's only for rinsing.
This is a tradition where I come from. It rids you of bad luck and gives you a year of peace and quiet.
Now be sure to stay healthy and safe.

A new year has begun.
(Captain), would you care to go and see the sunrise on New Year's Day?
Humph. Don't act so surprised.
We're leaving, so hurry up and get ready. Heh-heh...

Another new year...
...
Ah, there you are. I was just enjoying the peace and quiet.
Happy New Year, (Captain).

A new year, huh...
When did I tell you about my home...
That's something I don't have anymore...
But I'd still like to go there with you someday.
Until that time comes, I will be here by your side.

Rise and shine, (Captain). How long do you plan on staying in bed?
Weren't we heading out to see the first dawn?
Sigh...
If you're going to pretend to sleep, then I'll drag you out and carry you.
It doesn't bother me if that was your master plan. So what's it going to be?

Ewiyar

(Singularity? What're you munching on? Your face is getting all weird...)
(These white globs are doing that to you? What are these squishy things anyway?)
(Guess it can't be helped! The great Ewiyar will defeat these for you. Be grateful!)
Mewewew!
Meow?
(Wh-what! This thing's clinging onto me now and won't let go!)
(Gross! Get off me!)
Ewiyar rolls around on the ground, struggling to get the mochi off her claws until (Captain) goes over to clean it off for her.

Yawning, a cat approaches the crew as they are playing board games together on New Year's Day.
Meooow...
(What are you doing, Singularity? You've been sitting there for so long, it's ridiculous...)
Meow!
(Hey, that thing you're rolling around! That's a toy for me, isn't it? Perfect, I was just feeling bored!)
Meow, meooow!
The cat begins to roll around on the board game mat, playing with the dice. (Captain) can't help but smile and give the cat a few rubs.
(Yes, that's the spot! Pat me more! Give me the attention I deserve!)
Meow!

(Brrr...)
(It's cold! Too cold!)
(After I so graciously decided to patrol the deck!)
(There's snow everywhere, and my paws are frozen stiff! This is so aggravating!)
(Captain) spots the cat shivering in the corner of the deck and walks over to pick her up.
Meooow!
(Perfect timing, Singularity! I shall allow you just this one time to hold me while you walk around the deck!)
(To accompany the great Ewiyar on her patrol is a great honor for a mortal! Be grateful for this opportunity!)
Meow!
Warming up the cat's paws, (Captain) hugs her tight before walking across the deck, back toward the captain's quarters.


Ewiyar (Grand)

Curse this snow. How am I to bear the cold in this form?
Ah, Singularity! What fortuitous timing.
I command you to carry me. Consider this both an order and an honor!
You insolent fool! Dare you ignore me? Even though I've been adorably crying out in pain!
Seeing Ewiyar throwing a fit in the snow, (Captain) picks the cat up and gently cradles her.
A wise choice! Now bring me inside at once!
In return, I shall graciously allow you to feel the warmth of my fur!
You would do well to remember this gesture. Very few ever get this chance!


Ezecrain

Do you want something or what? You're interrupting my meditation.
What? Happy New Year? I don't remember doing anything to earn your well wishing, but I can see you're trying to do the right thing.
That said, you should know that everything I do is strictly for me... You're so naive.

A new year, huh? I suppose I owe you a great deal. Let me express my thanks.
Why that face? Are you startled by my sudden appreciation?
It wouldn't be becoming of me to forget to give gratitude where it is due.
I am, after all, the parental figure here. Although it's not my intention to be anyone's parent... I just want to show you good manners.

The new year...
Don't give me that silly smile.
The truth of the matter is, I need all of you to accomplish my goal.
I must not forget to show my respect to those helping me.
However, I'm sure your caring nature will be a burden upon us all.
Don't forget that.

The New Year's market? If you're going, then go. There's no reason for me to accompany you. You're old enough not to get lost on your own.
What? At this rate, something unpleasant is going to happen?
In other words, (Captain)... You must have landed in trouble as a result of your talent for sticking your nose where it doesn't belong.
Good grief... Very well then. I suppose I'll escort you.
If something is to happen, I'll be able to handle it sooner if I'm with you from the beginning.

Happy New Year. This year, we must continue to be cautious and...
Hm? What is it, (Captain)?
You want me to tell your fortune for this year with my amethysts?
No.
I'd hardly spare the time to read the fortune of someone prone to letting their guard down from depending too much on their luck.
Listen up. Skyfarers are constantly walking on the line between life and death. You may find yourself facing a dangerous request, or encounter an accident on the ship.
Besides, you're much too nice for your own good. With your kind of personality, you should at least be aware of the risks your line of work involves.
You're going to the end of the skies, aren't you? Make sure you don't die before you reach your destination.
It puts me in a rather bad mood when someone I know is no longer here.

Farrah

Happy New Year!
I wish you happiness in the year to come!
Of course, there's no time to dilly-dally. I'm gonna work harder than ever to catch up to Katalina.

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
There's something I've been meaning to ask you...
Should I train harder so that I can one day stand beside Katalina? Or should I keep going as am I now so that I can always look up to her?
Katalina was telling me about the importance of New Year's resolutions, but I'm stuck between these two...
Ohh, what to do...

After racking my brain for the longest time last year, I came up with the resolution of training harder to one day stand beside Katalina...
Maybe that was too ambitious of a goal, because I'm fresh out of ideas for this year...
You think I should look at it from another point-of-view? That's a good idea coming from you, (Captain)!
You think I should work on my groove as a girl? I'm not sure I get it... Tidy up my wavy hair? Stand up tall? I don't quite get that either...
Oh no, what do I do? I just want to be more like Katalina! Really, that's all!
Hmm... Aiiiee-hehe!
I think I've got it! Yeah, this'll do it!
Wanna hear about it? Fine, I'll make a special exception just for you! Hope you're ready for it...
"Train even harder to one day stand beside Katalina..." Time to get this down on paper and hang it up on my wall!

What are your thoughts on how last year went, (Captain)?
Lots of happenings, you say? That's the same for me!
My capabilities grew as I continued to chase after Katalina.
I think I was able to gain a step toward her, even if just a small one. It was a good year for me!
I hope this year will be just as good.
I've decided to add one more goal in addition to the one I had last year.
I just don't know what it should be yet...
Um... Hmm... This is tough...
Ah, I got it! I'm going to make this year better than last year! That's what my new goal will be!
You too, (Captain)! Make sure this year is better than the last!

(Captain), happy New Year!
Teehee, I guess I hit all the right marks this year because it was so much better than the year before!
That's gonna be my resolution this year too: to make it better than the previous year!
I'm gonna write it in even bigger letters this time and put it up on my wall!
If I can keep accomplishing this goal every year, I'll eventually be as great as you, (Captain)! I know I can do it!
Whoo! I'm all fired up!
I'm gonna go run off some of this excess energy! Care to join me, (Captain)?


Farrah (Event)

Oh no, what do I do? I just want to be more like Katalina! Really, that's all!
Hmm... Aiiiee-hehe!
I think I've got it! Yeah, this'll do it!
Wanna hear about it? Fine, I'll make a special exception just for you! Hope you're ready for it...
"Train even harder to one day stand beside Katalina..." Time to get this down on paper and hang it up on my wall!

What are your thoughts on how last year went, (Captain)?
Lots of happenings, you say? That's the same for me!
My capabilities grew as I continued to chase after Katalina.
I think I was able to gain a step toward her, even if just a small one. It was a good year for me!
I hope this year will be just as good.
I've decided to add one more goal in addition to the one I had last year.
I just don't know what it should be yet...
Um... Hmm... This is tough...
Ah, I got it! I'm going to make this year better than last year! That's what my new goal will be!
You too, (Captain)! Make sure this year is better than the last!

(Captain), happy New Year!
Teehee, I guess I hit all the right marks this year because it was so much better than the year before!
That's gonna be my resolution this year too: to make it better than the previous year!
I'm gonna write it in even bigger letters this time and put it up on my wall!
If I can keep accomplishing this goal every year, I'll eventually be as great as you, (Captain)! I know I can do it!
Whoo! I'm all fired up!
I'm gonna go run off some of this excess energy! Care to join me, (Captain)?


Farrah (SR)

Happy New Year!
I wish you happiness in the year to come!
Of course, there's no time to dilly-dally. I'm gonna work harder than ever to catch up to Katalina.

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
There's something I've been meaning to ask you...
Should I train harder so that I can one day stand beside Katalina? Or should I keep going as am I now so that I can always look up to her?
Katalina was telling me about the importance of New Year's resolutions, but I'm stuck between these two...
Ohh, what to do...

After racking my brain for the longest time last year, I came up with the resolution of training harder to one day stand beside Katalina...
Maybe that was too ambitious of a goal, because I'm fresh out of ideas for this year...
You think I should look at it from another point-of-view? That's a good idea coming from you, (Captain)!

Farrah and Juri

(Captain) relaxes with Farrah and Juri during the start of the new year.
Farrah: Here it comes, (Captain)! Supreme Ultimate Smash!
Juri: Nice! You did it!
Farrah: Time for the loser's punishment! Remember, (Captain), you promised you'd let us do it!
Juri: D-doodling on (Captain)'s face...
I can't make myself do something that disrespectful!
I should be punished instead for attempting to do as much to someone I am indebted to!
Farrah: Juri, you can't just go changing the rules like that.
Juri: Gah! Attempting to break the regulations as well... I am a disgrace to soldiers everywhere!
Farrah: (Captain)... He's going off the rails again. Mind dealing with him?

Juri: (Captain)! Good morning!
Farrah's not here yet? I guess that means I win the bet on who arrives at the meeting spot for New Year's first!
???: Zzz...
Juri: Huh? What's that voice coming from the back?
Farrah: Zzz...
Juri: Wait, she's asleep? Why out here though...
Oh no, don't tell me she was waiting out here all night...
Gah, she bested me this time! I should've known better...
Farrah: Yawn...
Juri: (Captain)! Next year, I'm going to make full use of my imperial camping skills and beat Farrah for sure!

Juri: (Captain)! Happy New Year!
Just as I said last year, I made full use of my imperial army camping skills to make sure I was here first.
It will be I who makes the first first wish of the new year!
Farrah: Pant... pant... Oh, Juri. You're early this year.
Juri: So you finally made it, Farrah! Sorry, but I win this year!
Farrah: Wanted to compete that badly, eh? Well, congrats.
Juri: Huh?
Farrah: I decided that I don't feel like losing sleep over it every year. Winning once was enough.
Yawn... Well, let me go make my wish and then get back to sleep. I'll be going on ahead then.
Juri: Hey, wait! Farrah!
...
(Captain)! Why does it still feel like I somehow lost?


Feather

You ready for the first fisticuffs of the new year, (Captain)?
I've gotta let out all this excitement before I implode!

Here comes the new year! Are you ready for it, (Captain)?
I want to understand you better, (Captain)—and not just through fisticufffs either!
Let's make this the year we really get to know each other!
Kite flying's up first!

How's the new year treatin' ya, (Captain)? As for me, I can't get enough of the crisp morning air!
It feels like the new year is congratulating us on our first step into new horizons.
I went to give Randall my New Year's greetings just now...
But then he and I figured words are overrated.
I realized it the moment he visited my face with a high-flying kick.
I blocked it just in time of course, but a romp with him always gets me all fired up!
So whaddya say, (Captain)? Care for a romp with me? It'll be our first!
Actually, words are overrated. Our bodies already know the answer!

A new year has arrived, (Captain)! Make sure you grab it by the horns!
See, I realized something. I don't actually know all that much about you.
I figured we'd be able to communicate with our fists, that I'd learn everything about you that way. But, nope, part of you is still a mystery to me.
So I say we spend more time doing stuff together this year!
And I don't mean just brawling. We'll go for walks, shopping, whatever!
Now what better way to start than with a trip to the shrine?
We can draw our fortunes, have some sweet sake, and top it off with a round of badminton!

(Captain)! Let's have a battledore match!
I know we had one last year too, but something just didn't feel right. I finally figured out what was wrong!
We used rackets when we didn't need to!
This time we'll use our fists instead to hit the shuttlecock! How's that sound? Pretty good, right?
The power and speed of this match is gonna blow your mind and sting our knuckles! It'll be perfect for us!
Even if we're playing around, I still wanna have a serious face-off against you!
So (Captain), let's go! Hiyahhh!

Fediel

I'd thought night was a time of slumber for mortals, but oddly enough so many are already awake before the sun is up.
Here you are up on the deck too, Singularity. Is there going to be some kind of festivity?
You're going to watch the sunrise together? What for?
Morning follows night. It is a simple law of nature that should be obvious to all.
Today's special because it's New Year's? The beginning of a new cycle of seasons?
I don't know why it must be on this particular winter day, but celebrating your survival of the previous cycle...
And making a resolution to see you through the next cycle...
Seems silly, given what a short amount of time it is. No, I forget that mortals perceive time differently than I do. Hm, a lovely tradition it must be for torchbearers.

Ah, Singularity. Are you taking in the first sunrise this year as well?
If the first sunrise represents the birth of a new year, wouldn't you say the final sunset represent its death?
In that case, the rituals of cleaning and preparing at the year's end are no different than making preparations for a funeral.
Death is mourned so that life may be celebrated. Both work in tandem, essential to keeping order in the Sky Realm.
So I ask you, Singularity—did you prepare for the end of the year with all of your heart?
Or was the end of the year simply forgotten as you made preparations for the birth of the new year?
There's no way I'll stand idly and let Lu Woh hog the spotlight all to himself. Absolutely not!
I serve the Sky Realm just as he does, and won't be pushed aside!
Death must be revered as it is feared! Do you understand, Singularity?

What might that be, Singularity? A fortune? To reveal your fate for the coming year?
Hmm, might I take a look? I see... You mortals rely on this type of divination in your daily lives, yes?
Fate is a fickle thing. Truly, as far as passing the torch is concerned, the future is full of uncertainty.
Thus, it is only natural that mortals would find solace in such vague words of prophecy.
Nevertheless, it is invariably the will of the individual that determines their life's course.
If you decide your path by entrusting your will to these words, you may end up passing on a sense of regret to the world.
It may be best to consider that fortune as merely a form of consolation in the case of a blunder.

Feena

La-lala-lalaa! Tasty, tasty sweets, hooray! Yummy, yummy treats, yay!
Hi, (Captain)! I just challenged the entire crew to see who can eat the most dessert!
I'm gonna crush 'em! Well, Lyria might pose a threat, I guess... Nah, my stomach can handle her!

There's not much to do on New Year's day except sleep in...
All the shops are closed too, so there's nowhere to go.
Oh well. Bein' lazy on the first day of the new year ain't so bad, I guess.
Yep. Just for today though!

Happy New Year! Here's to fresh beginnings!
Aren't you tickled pink to have the invincibly cute Feena in your face right from the start?
All right now. We're busy bees today with all the New Year's stuff we gotta do, so splash some water on your face and let's go well-wishing!
Then we'll eat, fly kites, eat some more, and play in the park!
This day only comes once a year! Da-da-dan! Charge!

Happy New Year, (Captain)! Let's see what the fortune cookie says!
Hehehe! Fortune cookie! Cookie! What have you got for me?
Lucky Feena's bound to get super lucky this year!
Pulling out the slip now!
Whoa! (Captain), get a load of this!
It says to leave everything to dearest adorable Feena if you know what's good for you!
Hope you got that, (Captain)!

Say, (Captain), have you heard? They say if you write your wish on one of these wooden tags and make an offering, your wish will come true!
Ta-da! I've already written mine, see?
And I added invincibly cute drawings of myself and Goblin Mage!
When the gods see my adorable tag, they won't be able to resist granting my wish for the best year ever!
Why don't you make a wish too, (Captain)? After you're done writing it, we can make an offering together!

Fenie

Feower

Happy New Year.
What is true strength? I want to spend this coming year in pursuit of the answer to that question.
I'm looking forward to fighting alongside you this year.

My new year's resolution is to get revenge in the name of Stardust Town.
Huh? What do you mean that's scary? It's necessary.
If the mafia or whoever else decides to ruin the lives of innocent people and tear families apart, they have to be wiped out!
It's what those inhuman monsters deserve!
Gasp! Sorry... I lost myself in the excitement of the new year.
Whatever the case, I respect you, (Captain), so rest easy.

Happy New Year. Hehehe...
What? No, I wasn't laughing. Still, this is a day for merriment.
I found out that the kids of Stardust Town want to join me in my training.
They've all decided that they want to become stronger.
If they learn some self-defense techniques, they'll be better equipped for whatever comes in the future.
As for my resolution, I plan to chase after even more power. What else is there to strive for?
I can't let the kids solve everything on their own. I have to protect everyone when the time comes.
Now that it's been decided, I'm going to get down to training. Will you join me, (Captain)?

Happy New Year.
The children who resolved last year to get stronger have been training hard. I think they've made at least a little progress.
They still require my protection, but progress is progress. I'm sure they'll continue to improve this year.
I have to be diligent in my support of their efforts too.
You'd like to see how they've improved? I can't think of any objections.
I was planning to head there now to supervise a training session. Perhaps you'd like to act as a guest instructor?
(Teaching complete beginners the basics proved far more challenging than I'd expected.)
(This will be an excellent chance to learn (Captain)'s pedagogical methods.)

Heh... Heheheh... Bwahahahaha!
Hm? I look really happy? Perhaps it's because my first dream of the year was a good one.
In my dream, I finally did it... I was able to completely exterminate the mafia vermin!
This must be a sign that the fulfilling of my dearest wish is near! This year, I will definitely eliminate them all without leaving a single one alive...
Hahahaha! Just you watch! I'll tear them into shreds and shove them all into the dump, so get ready!
Huff... Huff... I'm sorry, I got a little too excited right from the start of the year.
Losing composure can lead to one's downfall, after all. I'll do better to keep calm.
But rather than slaughtering them, don't you think it'd be much more effective to beat them thoroughly in a cool and pleasant manner?


Ferry

Happy New Year!
My island is always shrouded in fog all year round, so almost nothing ever changes regardless of what time of year it is.
Mmm... But the winds outside the island bring change. It's a fantastically refreshing feeling.
Hehe. New Years... I've been through more than I can count, but this one feels different somehow.
Please show me more new experiences this year too, (Captain).

Mm... I love feeling the first breeze of the new year.
One year fades while the next one brightens. It's a never ending cycle...
Before you came I would spend my days languishing from one moment to the next, but I realize now how important my time is.
Thank you, (Captain). This is all possible because of you and everyone else.

A visit to the shrine, you say?
I'd very much like to go with you, but is it all right for a ghost to be there?
People usually pray for good health, but that's not especially helpful to a ghost who doesn't get sick and doesn't age.
Well, if it does turn out okay for me to go, then I guess I'll pray for everyone else's well-being.

Have you decided what you're gonna accomplish this year, (Captain)?
It's not like you have to make grand plans or anything as long as it's something you'll set your mind to.
Being able to change every day is one of the things only the living get to do.
If you pass the time doing nothing or never trying anything else, it's no different from being dead.
So it's not enough to simply live; having goals is important too.
Why don't I think of a goal too?
Um, because I...
Hehe, actually yeah. Why not? I'll try to come up with something.
A ghost like me doesn't change like you or the rest of the crew, at least not in a way that can be seen.
But as long as I have you guys with me, I'll change slowly but surely. I hope.

It's a little strange for a ghost to be watching the first sunrise of the year, isn't it?
But the sun's just so pretty, even if its bright rays hurt my eyes.
The sight reminds me of when everyone from my village disappeared after they were freed from Celeste...
I'm a little sad at the memory, of course.
But the new year can only start once the old one ends, much like new relationships begin once you've said goodbye to old ones.
Sorry, I didn't mean to get so broody. I only meant to say that I hope this year will be a good one.
Do you get what I was trying to convey though?
Hehe, then that's good enough for me.
(Captain), I'm excited to see what this year holds.

Fif

Happy New Year!
Let's go celebrate with some New Year's Eve candy!

Yawn... Gasp!
(Captain)! I slept in!
Oh no! Oh nooo! I missed the first day of the new year!
Darn! If only I hadn't got into bed... I would've been awake for sunrise!
Fine! New Year's resolution locked in: don't sleep through New Year's next year!
Wait... New Year's next year is technically... next year? My head hurts...

Mmm... Today's the first day...
It's okay... I'm not asleep... Yawn...
I'm just sleepy... Is it okay if I rest my eyes, (Captain)?
Rest... my... Yawn...

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
This year things will be a little different!
I took a nap during the day, so this time I can watch the sun rise!
Hehe... My plan is perfect!
Ahh... I'm hungry...
Maybe it's 'cause I had my dinner a bit early?
Rrg... I thought this plan was perfect, but I missed the mark...
Uh... I can't wait till breakfast!
(Captain)! Let's go get some snacks! I have a secret reserve of tasty treats that I'll share with you!

Hey, (Captain), let's have a sleepover with everyone tonight!
We can bring our blankets and sleeping bags and squish together so we're all nice and warm!
Huh? Why a sleepover?
Because if we have fun together, then we might have good dreams when we sleep!
Our dreams tonight are gonna be the first ones this year, right?
So I want them to be happy!
I'm gonna go ask everyone now! Come with me, (Captain)!


Filene

Good morning, (Captain).
Did you come... to see the sunrise?
I see... Inej taught me about this a long time ago.
The first sunrise of the new year... It's supposed to be special.
When she told me, well... At the time, I didn't really understand.
But now... I think I see what she meant.
It's more meaningful... when you share the moment with someone else.
Ah... There it is.
Happy New Year, (Captain)... Did I say it right?
I hope we can have a great year... together.

Happy New Year, (Captain).
Thanks for watching the first sunrise with me again...
It's funny though... It's the same sun that comes out every morning... But when I'm with you, it feels special.
I think it's because...
Because you make me feel warm inside.
...
If I watched the sunrise alone... I think I'd feel cold.
Let's spend next New Year's together, okay? And the one after that... And all the ones after that.
We're gonna stick together, right, (Captain)?

Happy New Year, (Captain).
Do you remember my wish from last year?
It was to spend New Year's Day with you.
I'm glad it came true.
And this year's wish is no different—I want to spend New Year's Day with you next year as well.
Will you help me make it come true?
You will? Thank you.
I'm already looking forward to it, (Captain).

...
There's the sunrise.
Happy New Year, (Captain).
...
This is the fourth time I've been able to welcome the new year with you.
...
The first time, I realized that it was special.
The second time, I felt relieved. I was glad that I was still there with you.
...
Last year, I felt warm. Watching the sun come up by your side was comforting.
This year... I'm happy, but a little scared.
The time I spend with you is so fun, makes me so happy, that... I'm afraid of it disappearing.
...
That's why I'm wishing for the same thing this year as I did last year.
...
And one more thing.
I'll be doing what I can to make sure your warmth doesn't go away as well.
...
Lets celebrate the next new year together too, (Captain).


Fiorito

You're all gonna stay up and watch the first sunrise of the year together? Sorry, but I think I'll pass.
Following a daily routine is really important for the muscles. I don't wanna mess up my sleep schedule.
Wha... What d'you mean I get sleepy fast like a little kid?
Why you... Anything you can do I can do too! Staying up all night's no problem for me...
But, I won't. Sorry to be a party pooper, but I'm pretty stubborn when it comes to this kinda thing.
Tell me all about it tomorrow, 'kay? Looking forward to it!

Hey, (Captain). When I say "New Year's," what comes to mind?
Food? Fireworks? Champagne? No, no, no. I'm thinking something even more massive!
Exactly! When I say "New Year's," you say "muscles!"
Muscles are 24-7, 365 a year! Every day is Workout Day! You start skipping out on training, and your muscles start skipping out on you.
Rosa, get ready for your first watering of the year! (Captain), you wanna blaze through some epic crunches with me?

Look, (Captain)! I calligraphied my New Year's resolution right on this scroll!
Bam! "Muscles!"
Man, I thought long and hard 'bout what to write, but in the end, what's more important than your bod?
I'm not saying "might is right," you heard? But health is fundamental to happiness.
Stay fit, and get ripped. That's the name of the game!
So, whaddya think? Pretty rad resolution, huh?
I'm always working out anyways?
Haha! Well, consistency ain't a bad thing!

Fiorito: Thanks for tagging along with me for my New Year's shrine visit, (Captain)!
I've always wanted to check out this shrine's fortunes.
What? There's a lot of buff people among the visitors? Yeah, you'll see why in a second.
(Captain) and Fiorito pay their respects to the shrine and go to get their New Year's fortunes.
Fiorito: Yay, I got Great Fortune! And more importantly...
Here, look at the bodybuilding section! "With hard work, your muscles will bloom" it says! What more could I ask for?
I always thought that it was silly that other fortunes had sections for lost items and romance but nothing for muscles, you know?
Then I found out that I just had to come here! I guess the temple guardian must be a macho too.
Rosa: ...
Fiorito: Look, Rosa's thrilled about it! Lets keep our muscles blooming this year too!

Flesselles

Happy New Year!
There's something you can only see on the mountain once a year. Can you guess?
That's right! It's the first dawn of the new year! Seeing it from the mountaintop is an amazing sight.
I was thinking you and I could go have a look together.
All right, let's go! I packed everything we need, so no worries!

Hey, do you remember? We went up the mountain together last year!
Huh? You forgot? No way... It was the first sunrise! And we saw it together...
Humph... I can't believe you, (Captain). How could you forget...
Huh? You're just joking? You mean, you really remember? The sunrise and everything?
Ah, that's a relief. You're a real prankster, (Captain)... You had me going.
You'll have to go up the mountain again with me this year to make up for that. Promise me, (Captain)!

(Captain)! The sun is so sparkly and beautiful!
I sure am happy that I got to see it again with you this year...
Truth is, I made some mountain-climbing boots out of leather just for you this year!
What! You don't wanna go?
But why? Why, oh, why?
You've gotta be kidding me... Awww... (Captain), tell me why... Why won't you go this year?
Huh? Mochi? You mean that white and chewy snack?
Yep, I love those things! We didn't have neat treats like that on the mountain, but I really love 'em!
Hm? You wanna make mochi? And you want me to help?
I'll do it! I wanna make some!
Heh-heh... I can't wait! New Year's mochi-makin' with (Captain)!

(Captain), thanks for watching the first sunrise with me.
It was so beautiful...
I wish my father and mother could have been here to see it too...
Huh? (Captain)? What am I supposed to do with this paper and pen?
I should draw a picture and send it to them?
Like a New Year's present? That's a great idea!
I hope I get all the angles and colors just right... Oh! I know. Will you help me, (Captain)?

Psst, hey, (Captain). Could you face this way? And hold still for a bit?
Perfect! Hold that pose—I need to finish drawing this picture. Just a little longer...
Ehehe. What's up? Oh, being stared at makes you kinda self-conscious?
Sorry about that. I totally get how you're feeling, but...
I'm sending a letter back home to my folks—to wish them a happy New Year, you know. And I really wanted to show them a picture of you with the sunrise.
Last year, I gave them a picture of just the first sunrise of the year... But it felt like something was missing.
I mean, ever since I joined this crew, I've always watched the first sunrise with you, (Captain).
And I wanted my folks to know just how beautiful the dawn is when I see it with you.


Florence

Happy New Year, (Captain). On behalf of Dalmore, I've come to greet you.
I hope that this year is filled with happiness and good health for you and everyone in your crew.
And now that the formal greeting is out of the way, let's get to the fun part.
Here you are. Some of the others in the crew informed me of this New Year's money tradition. I thought I should partake as well.
Hehe, if Gawain finds out about my little gift, he'll probably scold me for spoiling his captain.
But no matter how highly you rank, you are still young, and young people should enjoy these gestures while they can.
Please, use it to treat yourself and your friends to anything you'd like—food, a shopping trip, or whatever else you're interested in.

Happy New Year, (Captain). I'm looking forward to spending more time with you this year.
I'd like you to have this. It's a New Year's gift.
Hehe. Please, no need to hold back. This is simply a token of my appreciation, so I hope you can accept it.
That reminds me—I also brought a New Year's gift for Gawain...
But when I tried to give it to him, he frowned and said, "How old do you think I am?"
Of course I know Gawain is already a full-grown adult.
But when I imagined him going into town and having a good time with the New Year's money, I just couldn't help myself.
Oh? We should invite Gawain out to town later, you say?
Hehe, thank you, (Captain). I'd be glad to join you.

Happy New Year, (Captain). I have brought you a gift to celebrate the new year.
Oh? That's an interesting game you have there. It doesn't appear to be a puzzle...
"Pin the tail on the donkey"? Hehe, I see. That does sound like a rather addicting game.
Gawain especially would be determined to get better at it once he starts.
Oh, you'd like me to try too? Very well, then I shall take up the offer.
If the donkey starts to look strange, I hope you can laugh along with me.

Happy New Year, (Captain)! And what a wonderful new year it is.
By the way, would this object in the middle of your room happen to be one of the "kotatsu" that I've heard so much about?
It is, you say? I've always wanted to try one! Would it be a bother?
Hehe, thank you very much. Let me just sit down, and...
Oh my, this is quite something... I see, the heat source is weak, but the fabric traps the warm air under the table.
This is quite a comfortable temperature. It makes me want to... fall... Yawn...
Oh dear! As Dalmore's head sorceress, I shouldn't allow myself to be seen behaving so indulgently...
You'd keep it a secret? Hehehe, thank you very much.
Well, I do have a lot of New Year's greetings ahead of me...
I suppose I'll take you up on that and rest here for a bit longer.

Forte

An old year passes, and a new one arrives. Spending the holiday with you isn't so bad.
It seems like ages ago that we met.
Up until then, I had only met cowards. But you stood your ground, never flinching.
Honestly, I was happy. Not even my subordinates are as tough as you.
I await the day when we cross blades. Keep getting stronger, (Captain).

(Captain), you've made much improvement this year in battle.
Maintain that form, and you'll grow stronger still in the coming year.
Don't worry. I will train you. I will ensure your growth.
Well then, shall we begin the year's first round of training?
Just because it's the new year doesn't mean we can waste time. Let us start!

Ah... New Year's fortune slips. No matter what's written on mine, I'll follow the same path of domination.
Great calamity?
Have patience in thy wishes... Rush not into battle... Be cautious in thy relationships...?
What is the meaning of this! I won't accept those results!
Hm? You mean it's okay to draw another one?
Y-yes, that's right. I couldn't care less about this great calamity.
But it could disturb my companions. I suppose I have no choice but to draw another.

What, my first dream of the year? Yes, I remember it pretty clearly.
I was sparring with you in a wide open field.
See? Even in my dreams, I don't skimp out on practice. If you want to be the strongest, you have to—
Wh-what are you grinning for? Are you happy you showed up in my dream?
Don't be an idiot! Occasionally you get stuck in my head right before I go to bed, that's all.
Hey! I told you to stop grinning!

Heh. You came just as I thought you would, (Captain).
Don't look so surprised. I know you're here for the first sparring match of the new year. Now enough talk; I'm ready.
Show me your strength!
What? You came just to invite me to take the first shrine visit of the year?
Oh, I see how it is! The sparring match must come after the visit! Then I accept!
Don't confuse me like that! As if a shrine visit was the only thing on your agenda! Honestly...
In any case, please wait a moment while I get ready.


Fraux

Ah, morning, (Captain)...
Eh, no, I mean happy New Year!
You're up early. Are you trying to see the first sunrise of the year?
I knew it. You've got perfect timing. Let's go watch it together.
Ah, look! It's getting brighter out!
Heh heh, (Captain), I'm so glad that we can watch the first sunrise of the year together.
This year is definitely going to be great.

Morning, (Captain)! You're looking quite chipper so early in the day!
It's best to kick off the new year in high spirits, you say?
Wow, you sound like a sage. I should be taking notes.
Last year turned out great because I watched the first sunrise of the year with you.
So if I spend the whole day with you this year, just imagine what the future will bring... I mean, if you don't mind...
You don't? Thanks!
Ah, I almost forgot!
Happy New Year, and may it be wonderful, (Captain)!

(Captain), happy New Year!
I know I'm a little late, but I had a rough time trying to get up... Yawn... I was dead asleep.
The beds you have in your ship are super comfy... I probably could've slept the entire day away.
Being with your crew always puts me at ease, I guess.
Makes me all the more appreciative that you invited me aboard. Thanks, really.
Hehe... I'm actually kind of glad I slept in this year.
I was able to tell you a few things I otherwise wouldn't have.

Ah, you're finally here.
(Captain), happy New Year!
Heh heh, I figured you would come out this way. That's why I waited here.
I was actually more excited to see you than watch the first sunrise of the year.
I've changed, haven't I? Ever since I joined your crew, I feel like I haven't stopped changing.
I wonder how much more different I'll be by the end of this year.
I'm not scared. After all, I have you and the crew by my side.
You'll look out for me, won't you?

Happy New Year, (Captain).
Hm? Have you gotten a bit taller?
Of course, that couldn't have happened overnight. You must have grown throughout the year.
Looking back, I guess I've changed too.
By spending time with you guys and doing so many assignments together...
Really, I discover new things about myself all the time just by being on the ship.
Thanks for being a great captain, (Captain). Let's make lots of wonderful memories this year too!


Freezie

Tomoi: It's New Year's, huh? Oh, Freezie...
Freesia: Why don't we get our fortunes told, Tomoi?
Tomoi: Oh! Awesome idea.
Freesia: Let's see. My fortune for the new year is...
Look, Tomoi! It says I'll have great luck!
Tomoi: Whoa! Nice, Freezie! Now it's my turn!
Ugh! Horrible luck!
Freesia: No way! Er... I don't know what to say...
Tomoi: Dude, this is actually good luck.
Freesia: Oh? What do you mean?
Tomoi: Do you know how much luck it must take to get such a bad fortune? This is a miracle!
Actually, the real miracle was meeting you. Heh.
Freesia: Oh, you...

Tomoi: Sweet, another year in the books. There's no better way to kick off the year with Freezie...
Let's play hacky sack! Loser gets punished!
Freesia: Okay, you're on!
Tomoi: Kickoff! Hyaa!
Freesia: Hah!
Aw, I whiffed.
Tomoi: Oof. Tough break, amiga. That means I get to draw all over your face!
...
Nah, I can't do it. Why don't you doodle on my noodle instead?
Freesia: Me? But I'm the one that lost...
Tomoi: Whatever the crime, I'll do the time for you instead.
The only burden I want you to bear is my love.
Freesia: Tomoi... You're such a fool...

Tomoi: New Year's, huh... I'd kill for some of Freezie's cooking...
Sniff, sniff... Oh man, it smells so good in here. And is that an angel I see?
Freesia: Oh, Tomoi. I was just making a few dishes for New Year's.
Tomoi: Whoa, angel food right from the get-go? This is gonna be a good year. What's on the menu?
Freesia: Some prawns, sweet beans, fish rolls... I'm putting a lot of love into making them so you'll be nice and strong.
I want you to live a long life... I wouldn't be able to bear it if you left this world without me.
Tomoi: I feel the same way, babe...
Freesia: H-hey! Don't hug me like that, it's dangerous! I'm holding a knife, you know...
Tomoi: Sorry, just couldn't help myself. I wanna live out my life to the end with no regrets.
I don't wanna die thinkin' I should've held you in my arms back then. The grand finale of my life can do better than that.
Freesia: Oh, Tomoi...

Tomoi: It's a new year... Where'd you go, Freezie? What are you doin' now?
Freesia broke up with Tomoi over the holidays. Today she's watching the sunrise by herself.
Freesia: Such a beautiful morning sun...
Wouldn't it be great if we could do this together every year, Tomo—
...
What am I saying? I'm the one who broke it off...
Hm, that's strange. Why are my eyes wet?
Oh, probably because the sun's too bright. Yeah, this is eyestrain, not tears of sadness.
The sooner I get over him the better. It's the start of a new year, after all.
Freesia begins the new year alone. Every time she tries to forget Tomoi, she sees his face.
Harder still is the upcoming holiday dedicated to love, one she's yet to pass without a certain someone.

Tomoi: The first dawn of a new year has nothing on Freezie's beauty.
As Freezie rings in the new year, Tomoi still hasn't recovered his memories.
...
Freesia: What is it, Tomoi? You've been staring at the sunrise for a while now.
Tomoi: When I look at this glorious morning sun, all I can see is a certain someone's face.
That face belongs to someone who is near and dear to my heart. You know who I'm talking about, don't you?
It pains me that I can't come out and say it.
Freesia: Don't worry about that, Tomoi. I'm simply happy to be in your thoughts.
(We'll get your memories back no matter what! Our flame of love outshines everything in this world!)
With her heart full of conviction, Freesia looks to Valentine's Day with unyielding hope.


Freyr

Might you be... Ah, yes. Have you come to offer up your prayers as well?
Every year on this day, many people come to this place to pray.
Strangely enough, all who come here offer up similar prayers.
Though the specifics of their prayers vary, every person wishes for peace and protection.
Do you not find it strange? If people are indeed praying for the same thing, then conflict should not arise between them.
Still, conflict exists. And at the start of each year, people come to offer their prayers in hopes that these conflicts will cease.
What of you? What do you wish for? Is it peace, safety of passage, or perhaps the happiness of another?
Whatever your wishes are, simply praying will not change anything, and you will do well to remember that.

Ah, it is you. I felt a familiar presence, so I came to confirm my suspicions.
It is only just dawn, and you have already come to visit the shrine?
You came to watch the first sunrise?
Come to think of it... the people over there were saying the same thing.
What an strange custom. A sunrise is not exactly a unique occurrence.
Yes, I know. The dawn on the first day of a new year is special, correct?
A dawn means beginning... and rebirth.
Since the lives of mortals are fragile and fleeting, there must be something special about seeing the sun rise on a milestone of the calendar.
It seems I have prattled on for too long. I should be on my way before the crowd grows.
I pray that you will be able to view the sunrise here next year as well.


Friday (Summer)

Happy New Year! Let's make this another banner year for Premium Friday!
I just got back from visiting all my friends to wish them a happy New Year. Here, this is for you, (Captain)!
Heh. It's a New Year's card in the shape of my FRIED SHRIMP! Isn't it the cutest?
Doesn't that fried-batter gold just make you drool? I'm pretty proud of that.
I hand painted them all, wishing everyone good fortune in the new year with each brushstroke!
Hm? Feeling peckish at the sight of your delectable-looking greeting card?
Good thing I came prepared with a mountain of real fried prawns! Here, take all you want!

Happy New Year! Let's spend this year doing our best to spread the goodness of Premium Friday to all!
Well then, why don't you try drawing your fortune from this FRIED SHRIMP-shaped box? Come on, don't be shy!
Oh, there's your fortune. Let's see...
A golden FRIED SHRIMP!
Congratulations! It's the best one!
What extraordinary luck right from the start of the year! It's my pleasure to present you with... a complete set of the Premium Life Dice Game!
Feel free to play it during the New Year's holidays. It'll definitely help you understand more about Premium Friday!

Friday: Oh yeah! Now that's a keeper!
Ah, (Captain)! Didn't notice you there. I was just capturing the sunrise with my wisestone!
You've never heard of a wisestone before? Sure you have! You saw it when we first met!
Surprised? This board is the product of an ancient technology which allows it to preserve and display various types of images.
Hehe, now do you remember?
Lots of folks bundle up to visit shrines and festivals, but sometimes you just wanna lounge around at home or sleep off a hangover.
That's why I came up with the Celebrate-at-Home system! It allows you to enjoy picturesque shrines and sunrises without ever stepping foot out the door!
I've got the delivery process all figured out. I just strap the wisestone onto FRIED SHRIMP's head like so...
FRIED SHRIMP: Fryyyy!
Friday: And voila! I can capture any image I want!
You can have this picture to commemorate this wonderful day. Big smiles now! A fresh new year looks forward to meeting us!

Happy New Year!
About to head out to the shrines, are we? Then this is the perfect time to give you this!
Heh! Bet you're thinking, "Meh, just another flyer for Alohas." Well, take a gander at the lower right corner!
You'll be surprised to learn that Alohas has installed a fried shrimp shrine on its premises! Doesn't that sound prawesome?
It's not huge by any means, but that doesn't make it any less holy. It was partitioned from a larger prestigious shrine and retains a portion of that divinity.
This compact shrine still provides benefits like blessing households with prosperity, answering prayers, warding off evil, and helping with marriage.
And here's the kicker! Anyone who visits the shrine now will receive a special charm that contains a piece of FRIED SHRIMP's vestments inside!
Now you have even less of a reason not to go!
Let's not waste anymore time! Hop onto the FRIED SHRIMP express line so we can hit the shrine!

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
I thought of something this year too while promoting Premium Friday.
Though anxious about what has Friday in a good mood, the captain can't help but ask.
Me!
Following the idea of the Divine Generals, I'm going to call myself Prawnette and serve as the Divine Prawn!
Alohas can be the Prawn Temple, where people shall perform the sacred prawn dance to promote the further spread of Premium Friday!
What do you think?
Taken aback by the smugness in Friday's expression, (Captain) is rendered speechless.


Gabriel

Happy New Year, (Captain)! And may it be a healthy and joyful one for the both of us.
Hehe, there's just something about New Year's Greetings that makes them so wonderful, you know?
Seasonal events and salutations have a way of strengthening bonds between people.
I want to experience what this world has to offer and build some of those bonds myself!
Speaking of experiences, would you care to join me, (Captain)?
I was thinking I'd take part in every New Year's custom and game there is before the day's over!
(Captain) tells Gabriel that it would be easier to try a new tradition every year than doing it all at once. It's just enough to calm the fire in her eyes.


Galadar

No holdin' back now, we'an.

Galleon

Wonder.
(Singularity, why are you up at such an early hour?)
(Captain) is on the deck of the Grandcypher, explaining the New Year's sunrise to Galleon.
Sunlight...
(So this day marks the full cycle of the four seasons, I see...)
Acknowledgement.
(Mortals can be rather creative in affirming their existences in this distorted world.)
Puerility.
(The more I learn about these customs, the more I come to appreciate them.)
Acquiescence.
(I appreciate your instruction on the matter. Now then, shall we watch the sunrise together?)
Affection.
(Come closer, Singularity. I will grant you a most warm blessing with my embrace.)
Concern.
(I realize we should be focusing on the sunrise, but I would not want the low temperature to affect you negatively.)
Restraint.
(You have no need to hesitate, for I am more than ready to share my warmth with you.)

Celebration.
(Here is to another great year... What a wonderful phrase, Singularity.)
Predicament.
(Hardships abound in the sky. To live in it is to live in challenge.)
Friendship.
(By joining with others, mortals overcome predicaments they would struggle to handle on their own.)
Tribulation.
(With mutual support, they weather the worst of times, the cruelest quandaries this world has to offer...)
Congeniality.
(And through braving adversity together, they are able to wish each other "another" great year. It is truly remarkable.)
Admiration.
(The greeting is at once reciprocal praise for keeping in good health...)
Pledge.
(And a shared promise to continue supporting each other in the new year.)
Desire.
(As a being that dwells in the sky, I, too, wish to enter this cycle.)
Declaration.
(Thus, allow me to impart this greeting unto you, Singularity.)
Happiness.
(Happy New Year, and may it be another great one.)


Galleon (Summer)

Garma

Is it New Year's already? People tend to become complacent at this time of year. Back in my thieving days, this was the time to strike it rich.

It's New Years? Has another year passed already...
You know, I thought this way of life would come to an end real soon at first.
But let's see what the next year holds. Whatever comes—I'm ready to accept it.

You all say this day marks the start of new beginnings, but I couldn't care less.
Though I might be alone as there are so many who share your celebratory spirit.
Living here has opened me up to other ways of thinking.
You're truly blessed.

New Year's... I guess another twelvemonth has begun.
What is it? Are you heading somewhere?
Going to check out the festivities in town, huh?
Well, watch your back. You stick out like a sore thumb, and a lot of good-for-nothings will take you for a rube.
You'd feel better if I followed along? That's a bit rich.
Oh well, what choice do I have? All I can do is follow behind you though. You're responsible for the basics of your own defense.

Kite-flying, top-spinning, battledore...
Oh, I just spotted a bunch of kids mucking around real playfully.
I don't recall ever having that opportunity when I was a kid even during New Year's...
Makes me wonder how things might've been different if my parents were around...
Nah, there's no point talking about what-ifs. Doing so isn't gonna change my present or future.
Bleh, do me a favor and forget this nonsense I'm blabbering, will ya?


Gawain

Ugh, it always gets so noisy at this time of year. Why is it even cause for celebration...
Hold it right there! I never said I wouldn't have New Year's dinner!

You know, I always thought this day simply marked the beginning of a new year.
Spending this day with you might not be so bad after all, (Captain).
Eh, what's with the look? Hey, I didn't mean anything by that, all right!

What a bore. Everyone's mucking around like miserable dimwits for this blasted festival just because we've started the new year.
...
At least that's the mindset I used to have before meeting you.
I now know what a wondrous day New Year's is.
I'm expecting you to watch my back this year too, (Captain).

It's the New Year! What will you do to celebrate?
Was I looking forward to a celebration? Not particularly... I just want to know what your plans are.
Come again?
You're going to write your New Year's resolution? That's it?
Humph. What a waste of time.
But... if you must have my company, I suppose I can join you.

(Captain)! What in the skies is this "New Year's pocket money" nonsense!
No sooner has the new year begun than I am besieged with demands for money!
What? It's tradition for older people to give children money at New Year's?
Hunh! I'm not in the habit of giving out alms.
No, wait. Perhaps I should view this as a chance to temper my arrogance with acts of charity.
Very well then. (Captain), hold out your hand. You shall be the first to enjoy my overwhelming munificence.


Gawain (Light)

Dawn draws near, and soon the sun will rise on the horizon.
Finally I will be able to watch the first sunrise of the year without my mask on. I can only imagine it'll be more dazzling than before.
Although I do blame the mask for obstructing my view, I also have to admit that my narrow perspective of the world didn't help matters either.
Huh? What do you mean I'm being awfully solemn for some reason?
I'm doing no such thing, nor am I trying to create anxiety for you! Don't make baseless accusations.
I strive to do as many good deeds as I can, and this year will be no different. May you have a good one, (Captain).

What's this? I see stickers of face parts on top of a face outline.
Lucky Laugh? A game where you try to put together a face while blindfolded? Sounds rather silly if you ask me.
You're handing me a blindfold already? Too bad I won't be playing this game.
You think I lack confidence? Absolutely not. What do you take me for?
Gimme that blindfold. I'll settle this in a flash.
(This must be the nose, so it goes here...)
(Wait, this is the nose, meaning I'll have to switch their positions...)
Hahahah... This is perfect! How about it, (Captain)?
Gah! What manner of beast have I created!

Too bad for you, (Captain). I've won this year.
What am I talking about? The results of our New Year's fortunes, of course.
Behold, I have the best luck! There's no fortune greater than mine! Whatever you draw, it will not surpass—
What's this? You got the same result!
Blast... I didn't foresee us being equally matched...
Hm? Why not cross swords? Are you suggesting we sort out our differences through combat?
Hah. Interesting idea! I could go for a round. It would be nice to get this body moving again!

Well, there's the first sunrise, (Captain).
With each new year, you grow up more and more.
That said, I'm still maturing as well.
If one day you ever go down the wrong path, I'll stop you.
If I ever lose my way again, it'll be your job to stop me.
That's what friends are for, right?
Hah, I guess that New Year's has gotten me in a weird mood.
Right then, lets have our first bout of the year, (Captain). Get ready!


Gayne

Happy New Year! La la la!
Oh, you want to know what I'm doing?
You can't tell? Why, I'm so filled with cheer, I can't help but dance!
Yes, it's true. Hey, are you saying my dance looks silly?
This is my dance to bring in the new year! You don't like it? Well, excuse me...

A top? Is this a new year's tradition where you're from? I spin it like this?
Ooh, how interesting. And look at how straight it stands. What a beautiful spin.
...
Mmm... I can't lost to a toy!
We'll see who has the more beautiful spin, me or that top!
(Captain)? Why are you laughing like that?
You gave me that because you knew I'd do this? I've been had!

Happy, happy New Year!
There's tons of fun to be had at the start of the new year!
Kite flying, paddle games, cards, dice, pin the tail on the donkey... And I just learned how to spin tops!
Maybe I'll even hold a group session for sword dancing sometime!
You're worried about people getting hurt from the swords? W-well... If they simply practice really hard, then it won't be a problem!
I mean, I've heard of kids doing cross-sword puzzles before, so dancing can't be that bad!
Huh? Crossword puzzles have nothing to do with swords?

My... (Captain), you're already up?
There's a delicious smell, you say? Hehe. I've just finished throwing together a warm pot of stew.
You were sleeping so soundly. Poor dear, you must've been exhausted, merry-making well past midnight. So I thought I'd fix you something nourishing.
Hehe. When I was a traveling dancer, I was constantly whipping up meals. I'm quite a good cook, you know?(Captain)And my stews are simply to die for. Helnar used to finish entire pots in a day!
Well, eat up! I've made plenty, so there's no need to rush, all right?

Hear me out, (Captain)! I've made an incredible discovery!
Make clean diagonal cuts across the bamboo, and you have your material for making kadomatsu trees! We could turn this into a New Year's game!
Huh? You think we might run out of space to put them?
Oh, it'll be fine. We can have one in your bedroom, one in the bridge, two in the dining hall, and about five on deck.
We want this to be a gorgeous new year, so going the extra mile to pretty things up shouldn't be a problem!
Well then, (Captain). Take up your sword, and let's slice and dice some bamboo! Ah, what a soothing sound that is!


Geisenborger

...
A smirk on his face, Geisenborger prepares to go off somewhere.
Choose: What's wrong?
Heh heh, first war of the year.
I can set out at anytime... How fare your preparations?
Choose: I won't let you go to the battlefield!
Oh? You plan on standing in the path of the mighty Chariot?
How intriguing... I'll have a bout with you, (Captain)!
Geisenborger takes a fighting stance as he accepts a racket from (Captain).
Hm? You mean for us to do battle with these?
Heh heh... Ahahaha!
No one has ever bested me in a game of battledore and shuttlecock... They call me the master shuttlecock handler!
You chose the wrong game! Prepare to be crushed by the Chariot!

Well then, shall we engage in the first war of the year?
My blood boils at the thought of battle... There is no room for repose, as a single lapse in judgment could lead one to a very dark fate.
Oh, what am I saying... As my worthy rival, you already know this, (Captain).
Hah hah. Well then, young warrior, grab your weapon!
With a nod, (Captain) gets into position.
Hm, battledore and shuttlecock never gets old. I still remember our fierce exchange of blows last year...
I must say, it was one of the finest matches I've ever had in my life.
But enough talk. Let us speak with our battledores.
I, Geisenborger, master shuttlecock handler, shall start the new year with a glorious victory!

(Captain)... You know what time it is. A new year means a new battle between us.
Which is why we shall compete with badminton! It's the only way to start the year off right. You brought your racket, right?
Choose: Nope.
You... what?
The fire within me has died... I think I'll head to my room and work on meditation instead...
Choose: Hold it!
Quickly whipping a hand out, (Captain) reveals a spinning top.
A top? You wish to compete with this?
...
Heh... Heheh... Hahahaha!
You've picked the wrong opponent! I was once known as the chariot that raced across the skies, remember?
Fine, have it your way! We shall spin to see who will win!
Let it rip! You shall see you were a fool to challenge me!

Heh heh heh, the time has come once again! A new year is upon us!
Which means we shall have our first showdown of the year, as is custom! Now what will it be—badminton? Racing? Come at me with whatever you want!
Choose: Card games!
Gah!
C-card games... Is that so...
Choose: Should we... do something else?
No, we can compete with cards! A true warrior claims victory no matter the battlefield!
Yes, I can overcome any challenge... As long as I put my body and soul on the line!
I-I'm completely fine with card games! I'm not bad at them or anything!
Now enough dallying! Let's do this! Raaaagh!

Heh! So the new year's creeped up on us again, hm?
What do you say we go for our first war of the year then, (Captain)?
No card games though. Not that I'm worried about it, of course—simply that it wouldn't be interesting if it was the same as last year.
Choose: Beanbag fight!
Heh, I accept your challenge! But since I let you decide the weapon, I'll decide the rules.
Normal beanbags would be boring... We'll use cannonballs instead!
With the danger of potentially dropping the cannonballs and causing great disaster... let's see how many each of us can throw—
Choose: Nope. We're using normal beanbags!
Rrgh! O-oh...
Well, all right! Even with simple beanbags, I will never turn down a fight. Prepare yourself!


Ghandagoza

A most auspicious new year to you! If you want to become a master of the Eternal Rage Style, listen very carefully.
Think not of the start of the year as a time of rest, but as a time to start training.
Practice and hone yourself each day, and one day you might just be worthy of being my greatest disciple!
Gahaha!

(Captain)! You realize it's not the first day of the new year you're observing, correct?
I would forgive you for thinking so...
But, no, what you're really laying eyes upon is an illustrious fighter as he begins a new journey...
A journey to keep his Ghandagozolutions!
And seeing my favored pupil so early in the new year is a sign that I will surely keep them this time.
Bwahaha! So come—let us begin our training immediately!
I don't know what I've been told,
Eternal Rage is my whole soul!
Sound off! One, two!

Captain! A prosperous New Year to you! Prosperitaaay!
Gwahahaha! A most curious greeting indeed.
I recall the days of my training; I once gave that greeting to a martial master I had met in travel.
A fascinating island it was. Every single islander was adept in the ways of the fist. One learned something new at every turn!
Ah! And another fascinating thing!
The islanders would partake of a certain soft, chewy food to celebrate the new year.
It was made from the meat of pigs or fish and wrapped in a skin of thin flour dough. They would then boil it until ready.
How delicious it was! My mouth waters at the thought...
Hmmm. What did they call it...
Go... Gyo... za...
Gwahahaha! The name escapes me.
But no matter! You hunger do you not? Then prepare it for you I shall! I call it...
Ghanda-gyozaaa!

Uh-oh...
(Captain), that bell's about to fall from the shelf! Out of the waaaay!
Phew... Artfully evaded, (Captain).
I'm glad you rang in the new year safely.
Hm? You think I knocked the bell down just to make that joke?
Nuhahaha! Are you able to read my mind?
If you are, then you know my next question.
You think it's whether you've made a New Year's resolution yet?
Very good, (Captain). That is precisely correct.
Let us stay true to ourselves this year as in all years. Understood?
(Captain), Ghandagoza is here beside you!
Hi-yah! Hi-yah! Hi-yappy New Year!

So. You wish me to pound this mallet into that oojamaflip called mochi... And time my strokes to your beat?
Very well, I hear you! You offer me a battle that sets my soul and fists aflame! Here's ghanda-goes-a nothiiiiiiing!
Hi! Hi! Yaaaaaah!
Hi! Hi! Yaaaaaah!
Whuaaaat? Th-there seems to be something amiss. (Captain)!
This oojamaflip called mochi... The more I beat it down, the higher it stretcheeees!
What's more... It grows stronger and more pleasingly gelantinous with every blow.
Gaaaah! Is that why it is dubbed mochi? Because it has more-chi and more power... Than me!
(Captain), it seems you have bested Ghandagoza, and the last year has only just ghand-away! Nuahahaha!

Goblin Mage

Happy New Year!
Let's see... I wanna visit the festival at the shrine!
Feena told me, you see! If you go to the festival there, the gods will give you some shiny things to take home!
If I get a bunch, then I'll give you some!

Happy New Year! I'm gonna get even more shiny stuff for my collection this year!
Is your resolution to get more shiny stuff too, (Captain)? Then let's help each other get lots and lots!

Wow! I wanna ride the airship over there, (Captain)! I saw a big shiny thing!
What did Feena call it... Oh! The New Year's sunrise!
Hurry, hurry! Full speed ahead! We gotta get all the big and shiny sunrises!

(Captain), happy New Year!
Let's get lots of shinies this year!
There were already lots of shinies in the New Year's meal!
They were yellow, and they smelled sweet like chestnuts.
If you eat them, then you can be healthy and collect more shiny stuff!
We've gotta hurry! (Captain), eat together with me!

Happy New Year! Let's play lots more this year!
I love this time! The snow is so shiny in the sunlight, and the food looks so good!
Life is sparkling! It's pure happiness!
Sneeze! But then again, it's cowd, and I don't wike that pawt...
Ah! Let's warm up under the kotatsu, (Captain)!


Golden Knight

You want to hear my goals for this year?
Now that I think about it, aside from kingdom and organizational-related goals, I haven't decided what to do personally.
Istavion celebrates the new year like anywhere else. All I remember is being busy during that entire period.
If I had to come up with a resolution, perhaps it would be to finally conquer you this year.
Heh... That was a joke. Don't take it seriously.
At least not yet.

Do you remember the resolution I made last year? About how I would conquer you?
Was I successful? Have you finally fallen under my spell?
What? You assumed I was joking?
Hm... True, I vaguely remember trying to pass off my resolution as a joke...
It's too late to turn back the clock, but I was actually being serious. I only called it a joke to hide my embarrassment.
It has always been my intention over the past year to carefully but firmly wind you around my finger...
I see. Even that sounds like a joke to you. No wonder it feels like there's still a wall between us.
This year I'm going to focus on wearing down your defenses. I dare you to resist.

Regarding the resolution I made last year to wind you around my finger...
Don't you think it's time we built a new home for the two of us?
Calm down. I was merely making a joke.
You're still on your journey, thus this ship is essentially your home.
In that case, what do you say to shopping for new furniture?
The dawning of a new period in life necessitates new furnishings.
Take a look at this catalog. I've already circled items that caught my eye.
It would be nice if they matched your preferences, but if not... pretend they do.

Are you familiar with New Year's prayers, (Captain)?
One of the more common ones is for household stability. Quite a noble wish, don't you think?
As you'd imagine, it's particularly popular among families.
...
On that note, I was thinking that we should go pray for household stability at a shrine.
The fate of not only Istavion, but all of the skies rests on our house's shoulders after all.
I don't know how effective such a prayer would be, but I'm sure it can't hurt.
You'll come with me, won't you? Just give me a moment to get ready.


Grea

I've never seen the first sunrise of the year to be honest.
I didn't want to go outside knowing how many other people would be out and about.
But I'm not afraid anymore after meeting you and the crew.
So... Um...
Could we all go watch the sunrise together?

(Captain)? Why are you up? It's so early in the morning...
Me? I got up early to see the first sunrise of the year.
Anne and I were supposed to see it together.
But she wouldn't get out of bed for anything...
That's why I came here by myself.
So, (Captain), wanna go see the New Year's sunrise? It'll be just like last year.
And I'd be... I'd be a little lonely without anyone else...

(Captain), happy New Year.
Would you like to have breakfast with me later?
I tried making osechi for the first time. I was hoping to hear what you think of it...
Anne? No, it doesn't matter what you put in her mouth—she finds everything delicious.
You'll join me? Great, let me go wake up Anne.
As soon as she wakes up, the three of us can have breakfast together.

Yawn... Oh, (Captain), happy New Year.
Hm? Am I feeling sick?
No, I'm not sick. I'm swaying back and forth like this because I'm... really sleepy...
I stayed up all night with Anne and the others to see the first sunrise of the year... That's why... Yawn...
I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yawn in the middle of talking... Yawn...
Ugh... Don't laugh...
A-anyway... I'm going to head back to my room now.
I wouldn't want to do anything else to embarrass myself in front of you...
Well, good night, (Captain).

Are you getting ready to have breakfast too, (Captain)?
Then why don't you come join us? That is, if you're okay with the osechi I made...
Do you remember the osechi I made two years ago? You seemed to like it.
Ever since then I've been trying to improve my recipes.
I was happy to hear Anne say my cooking was delicious too.
Anyway, thanks for saying you'll join us. Could you wait real quick while I go wake Anne?
Oh, and happy New Year, (Captain).

Grimnir

Singularity... This cycle of the seasons will unquestionably be one of much learning for me.
Our bonds shall intertwine and lead us to truth. And someday I will become a wind to rescue the sky.
Heh-heh... My resolution... is so cool! Right?
Huh? You don't know what I'm getting at?
Gee, c'mon! What I'm trying to say is... happy New Year!
So, Singularity! What sorts of resolutions do you have in mind?

(Captain)... We have flown together through winter, spring, summer, and fall, and once again, we stand on the threshold of a new year.
For 365 days, by sun and candlelight, I devoted myself to study. I have learned much about your world, but I sense there is much more to be discovered.
Now, hie with me to the mystic shrines, that we may see whither the winds of fortune will carry us.
You, um... get what I'm asking, right?
Yeah, exactly! You always visit a shrine on New Year's Day, right?
There you can draw a fortune and learn your luck for the year... and pray to the gods for a little extra help...
Oh! And the stalls! You can buy amazing food from a bunch of different stalls!
So, um, (Captain)! If you don't mind, want to come with me to a shrine... now?

Singularity. Another year means you must continue to increase your efforts toward surpassing your current state.
To begin, let us enjoy a traditional game of badminton with a shuttlecock made of the feathers of angels.
Then, we shall partake together in a meal as vitalizing as the breath of life itself!
Hey, what're you staring at me like that for?
The others in the crew told me about all these fun things you can do on New Year's, so I decided to come invite you!
Come on, let's get a move on! We've got a lot to do! No time for spacing out!
We'll play badminton, have some New Year's treats, then move on to all the other things we gotta do today!

Another year, another fortune drawing. May the winds be in my favor this year... please!
T-t-terrible luck? S-surely the gods have made some sort of mistake! Let's try again...
No, I must resist the temptation! Fortunes are only meant to be drawn once.
Oh, that's right! (Captain), what'd you draw?
G—g-great fortune?
That's amazing! Everything's already coming up (Captain) this year, isn't it?
Heh-heh... As long as your fate is in good hands, then I have nothing to fear!
And if you think about it, there's no worse fate you can draw than terrible luck, right?
If that may be the case, so be it! I shall carry the burden of this fate on my own for the rest of the year!

The dim light of dawn breaks through the silent night to shine its brilliance upon the new year!
Ooh, here it comes, here it comes! The sun...
Has risen!
Whoo! The first sunrise of the year is always way too much fun! Makes me feel like a whole new person!
Huh? Say that again? The sunlight makes me look like a god to you?
Aww, now you're making me blush!
You look pretty amazing under that light yourself, (Captain)!
Ehehe... You know, I get the feeling this year is gonna be better than most!

Gwynne

Happy New Year, (Captain).
Yeah, it's just me today.
I considered asking Isaac to come along but ultimately decided against it.
See, he wants to see you, but he's too reserved to take the initiative.
Last time I saw him I said, "If you want to see (Captain) that badly just go."
He's probably trying to psych himself up right now. If he does actually come to say hi, could you give him a warm hi back? Sorry for the trouble.

Happy New Year, (Captain).
Here... Some New Year's cards arrived for you.
Oh... This one's from my family—including one for me, and wait...
I think my parents sent a card to every member of the crew.
It must've taken hours and hours to write all these. This looks like several days worth at least.
And each one says, "take care of our Gwynne." What doting parents...
Sorry if it's weird, but anyway, let's have a great year.


Haaselia

(Captain), happy New Year.
Will you accept this gift?
This New Year's money is a small token of my appreciation.
I imagine your expenses for giving each crew member a gift can't be cheap, so I was hoping to lighten that burden—even if only by a tiny bit.
So what do you think you'd buy with this New Year's money, (Captain)?
Come to think of it, I don't really know what your interests are.
Haha, I hope you'll tell me more about yourself in due time.

Happy New Year. Another wonderful new year has begun.
Have you decided on any resolutions yet, (Captain)?
It's important to set goals for yourself. It makes difficult goals that much easier to achieve.
Even if those goals may be cruel and coldhearted...
Oh, don't mind me. I'm just talking to myself. Haha...

Happy New Year. Let's have another good year together.
Oh, do I seem a little listless? I suppose there's no point trying to hide the truth from you.
I was flying a kite a little while ago, but the plain white design bored me, so I decided to paint my own work of art onto it...
For some reason, every crew member who saw my kite in the sky ran away terrified.
Which is why I'm now terribly upset that I've ruined their festive mood.
I'd like to speak with the affected parties directly and apologize, but I only vaguely remember the color of their clothes...
It'd be wonderful if you could help me identify those crew members, (Captain).
You should also tell me where their rooms are too.
I have a lot I want to clarify with them.

(Captain) and Haaselia go for their first shrine visit of the year together.
(Captain), shall we draw our fortunes?
(Hehe, I wonder how surprised the captain will be if I pull the best one possible?)
With unfounded confidence, Haaselia reaches for her fortune.
(T-terrible luck? Impossible...)
O-ohoho! It seems I will have moderate luck! What about you?
Amazing luck? W-well, well!
I hope this year proves to be good for you! Ohohoho...
Later that day, while (Captain) isn't looking, Haaselia tears her fortune into pieces.

It's a beautiful morning today. What do you think of this scenery, (Captain)?
Rich or poor, the sun rises for us all.
I don't know about you, but I find that both incredibly inspiring and horrifyingly depressing.
No matter how far you fall, the world will continue to revolve, undeterred. It's almost as if reality is mocking your efforts.
Ah, I'm sorry. It's the start of a new year, and I'm already bringing down the mood.
I wish to create a just world—one of peace and equality. One day, the sun will shine upon such a world.


Hallessena

Haaappy... New Yeeear!
(Captain)! (Captain)!
We should check out the sunrise!
That'd be crazy to the max! Come on, let's go!
And thanks for last year, Captain. It was super lovely!
Aah! I mean, never mind! We gotta hurry! Come on, come on!

(Captain)! Whatcha gonna do for this year's New Year's?
We went to visit the shrines last year... Are you gonna do that again?
Either way, I'll have fun as long as I'm with you. Let's go celebrate by doing whatever you want to do!

Hey, (Captain)! We have to go to the Rashomon Research Vessel, now! C'mon!
See! Look at this cute fluffy-wuffy puppy coin purse!
It's still a little early, but I thought I'd give a New Year's present to Nicholas and Marie's adorable baby!
I've been saving up forever-ever-ever-ever to buy it—for a whole year, even!
I wonder if the baby will like it. Anyway, I can't wait to meet him. Hehehe.
Oh, one more thing, (Captain)!
While I was saving for the baby's present, I put a little away on the side so we would still be able to hang out a bunch this year!
We'll use my money and have the craziest year ever!

(Captain)! Is that New Year's money for me?
Heehee! Nothing makes me crazier than some awesome loot from you!
Hehehe, this is wild! You really know how to make someone crazy happy! Now the real question is, what do I use it for?
Should we go somewhere together? Or how about buyin' materials for your very own chain saw?
Huh? I should spend the money on myself?
Hehe, guess you don't get it! Where's the fun in celebratin' New Year's by myself?
Besides, I really wanna use it to have some fun with you... Ehehe.
That means that we're stuck together until we spend it all! Let's go, (Captain)!

Take a look at this, (Captain)! It's a New Year's feast that's crazy to the max!
Prawns, kelp, mashed potatoes... Aren't all these colorful dishes just seriously so lovely?
Heheh.
Back when I was by myself, I'd never even seen this kinda food... Not to mention, I never had the chance to eat with other people.
So many nice things've happened since I met everyone here. It's pretty touching...
But, the year's just gettin' started! Hehehe!
Come on, (Captain). Let's chow down so we have enough stamina and good luck for this upcomin' year!


Hallessena (Halloween)

Haaappy... New Yeeear!
(Captain)! (Captain)!
We should check out the sunrise!
That'd be crazy to the max! Come on, let's go!
And thanks for last year, Captain. It was super lovely!
Aah! I mean, never mind! We gotta hurry! Come on, come on!

(Captain)! Whatcha gonna do for this year's New Year's?
We went to visit the shrines last year... Are you gonna do that again?
Either way, I'll have fun as long as I'm with you. Let's go celebrate by doing whatever you want to do!

Hey, (Captain)! We have to go to the Rashomon Research Vessel, now! C'mon!
See! Look at this cute fluffy-wuffy puppy coin purse!
It's still a little early, but I thought I'd give a New Year's present to Nicholas and Marie's adorable baby!
I've been saving up forever-ever-ever-ever to buy it—for a whole year, even!
I wonder if the baby will like it. Anyway, I can't wait to meet him. Hehehe.
Oh, one more thing, (Captain)!
While I was saving for the baby's present, I put a little away on the side so we would still be able to hang out a bunch this year!
We'll use my money and have the craziest year ever!

(Captain)! Is that New Year's money for me?
Heehee! Nothing makes me crazier than some awesome loot from you!
Hehehe, this is wild! You really know how to make someone crazy happy! Now the real question is, what do I use it for?
Should we go somewhere together? Or how about buyin' materials for your very own chain saw?
Huh? I should spend the money on myself?
Hehe, guess you don't get it! Where's the fun in celebratin' New Year's by myself?
Besides, I really wanna use it to have some fun with you... Ehehe.
That means that we're stuck together until we spend it all! Let's go, (Captain)!

Hallessena (Summer)

Halluel and Malluel

Halluel: Hm? Morning, (Captain). Everyone's up real early today.
Malluel: We just got back from a delivery run. How about you guys?
Halluel: You went to see the first sunrise of the year? No wonder everyone's already awake.
I was wondering why so many people were milling about this morning on our way back.
Malluel: So that's what people mean when they talk about the first sunrise.
I guess I've never really thought about sunrises since they happen every day.
Halluel: Guess Mal and I have been taking the start of a new year for granted.
Kinda feels like a waste now, since a day like this only comes once a year.
Malluel: Then it's decided! We're definitely going to watch the first sunrise with you next year, (Captain)!

???: Hmm, still sound asleep...
???: Well, yesterday was a pretty busy day, so it must've been tiring.
(Captain) slowly wakes to the cold morning air and the soft whisper of voices.
Malluel: Oh, good morning, (Captain)!
Halluel: Good morning, (Captain). Sorry to take you out here so suddenly. You're not cold, are you?
Malluel: We promised to watch the first sunrise of the year together, remember?
So we decided to bring you out here ourselves.
Halluel: We tried to wake you a couple of times, but you were in such a deep sleep... Surprised?
We just couldn't give up on watching the sunrise with you today.
Malluel: Oh, Hal! (Captain)! Look, the sun's coming up!
Halluel: Wow... So this is what the sunrise looks like on New Year's... I can kind of understand why mortals think it's so special.
I didn't know the dawn could be so beautiful when you think about how it's the start of a new year.
Malluel: I'm glad all three of us could see this together this year!

Malluel: Heehee... Psst, (Captain)! You have to see this!
Halluel: Snore... Next one's mine... Snore...
Malluel: Hal was up all night partying with the crew and delivering New Year's cards into the wee hours of the morning. As soon as she got back, she was out like a light.
It's really nice to see those three cut loose. That shows you they've adapted nicely to the Sky Realm.
Halluel: Nnh... Huh? Mal? (Captain)?
Malluel: Morning, sleepyhead. You woke up just in time for dinner. Or were you planning to sleep through the rest of the day?
Halluel: Wh-what? Already? I can't believe I slept in!
I told everyone I was going to hang out with them and fly kites and play word games and shuttlecock and...
Hey, Az! Iss! Wake up, you two, before New Year's is over!

Halluel: Phew... I could use a quick breather.
Malluel: Just a quick one? You've been running yourself ragged all day. Why don't you take it easy for a while?
Halluel: But there's still so much to do with everyone...
I want to spin tops and hit the temples. I'm still not a pro at celebrating New Year's yet.
Choose: Chilling out is part of it, you know.
Malluel: Yep, the captain's right. I've even heard some people say the real fun comes from sleeping in.
Halluel: R-really? I must have missed that then...
Malluel: How about this? After we grab some delicious New Year's food, let's all go relax with Az and Iss!
Halluel: Haha, sounds good. This is the perfect chance for me to brush up on how to lounge around!

Malluel: Good morning, Hal. You too, (Captain). Happy New Year!
Halluel: Happy New Year, Mal, (Captain)!
It's been forever since we've had such a quiet New Year's Day.
Malluel: We really went all out last year, didn't we? And the year before that too.
Halluel: It's nice to lie around and do nothing every once in a while. You can't beat loafing around and munching on some snacks!
Malluel: Yeah, kicking back and relaxing isn't half bad. It's a nice change of pace from all the usual games and events.
I have a suggestion. Why don't we all take a short nap?
We got up really early to see the sunrise, so I'm a bit sleepy...
Halluel: That's a great idea, Mal!
Hehe. Let's sleep next to (Captain). That way, we'll both have sweet dreams!

Happy New Year!
Allow me to provide the guidance necessary to make this year a good one.

A new year has arrived. Was this past year one of regret for you?
If so, repent, and devote yourself to making this year one you can remember free of remorse.
If you have no regrets from this past year, that is what matters most. May you enjoy this year as much as the last.
Let's make this another good one, (Captain).

Happy New Year!
But just because this is a festive occasion doesn't mean we should let our minds wander. Let's temper our spirits on this day as well.
Observing the first sunrise of the new year with you, (Captain)... It's a gift.
Oh, but let us not forget that the sun rises every day. We should be thankful for the blessing that is daily life.
And one by one those blessings shall come and go... until we have another wonderful year on our hands.

(Captain), happy New Year's.
The porridge is ready. Would you like to eat together?
I used vegetables from my own garden. I hope this suits your tastes.
Careful now... Eat too fast, and the mochi may get stuck in your throat. We wouldn't want that.
Anyway, I made plenty if you'd like seconds. Relax and enjoy.
The start of another busy year has come upon us... Taking it easy for a day surely can't be all that bad.

Happy New Year, (Captain).
It's been our custom to exchange these well-wishes every year, hasn't it?
But we shouldn't take such things for granted.
Let's do our best to make sure we're here to exchange greetings next year too.
But I'll be by your side making sure you don't work too hard, (Captain).

Hekate

Oh? For what reason would I join you on your first shrine visit of the year?
If you want to pay your respects to anyone, they should be to me and my body.
I'm the goddess of the night, revered and even worshipped in other lands.
Choose: Here, you're a member of our crew.
Tch! You would command me as captain?
Fine. Have it your way. In return...
I'm inexperienced in matters of shrine visits. You shall guide me with a firm hand and show me the proper procedure.

What's everyone so happy about?
Everywhere I go, no matter who I run into, they always wish me a happy New Year.
Well, I can handle this like an adult. In fact, I hold seniority over all of you by a significant margin. The reason for those greetings is lost on me, but I respond with a thank you nonetheless.
But faking sincerity to an ever expanding cast of crew members is draining. Is this the fabled social pressures of modern society I've heard so much about?

Once again, the mortals of this era excitedly commemorate the coming of a new year.
I have learned a little about this tradition. As much as I can on my own, at the very least.
That is why I gave the proper greeting to our crewmates, as an adult should. "Happy New Year," and whatnot.
Though the significance of this event is still lost on me, I do not feel like I am lying anymore when I wish well upon those who celebrate.
Therefore, happy New Year to you too.
Now that the greetings are dealt with, it is time to eat soba noodles. That is one tradition I have no qualms with.

Oh, it's you. Impeccable timing. I would like to discuss something.
Looking around the dining area, there's a surplus of New Year's soba dipping sauce. This year's stock is quite flavorful, thus it would be an absolute waste to pour it down the drain.
Which got me thinking: wouldn't it be wise to come up with alternative uses for it? For example, it could be chilled and made into ice cream or—
What? You're supposed to pour the water the soba was boiled in into the dipping sauce and drink the concoction?
Enough with the jokes. As if water that's turbid with soba residue could be delicious.
Well, maybe you do know what you're talking about. I'll give it a try, but the onus is on you if it tastes bad.

Hey, I need to ask you something. How come the cafeteria doesn't serve New Year's food all year round?
I can't get enough of New Year's soba and delectable osechi arrangements. Having a personalized dining experience is a brilliant idea if you ask me.
You could make it a job perk to motivate the crew. Why not give it some thought?
It's too seasonal, you say? Well, as long as the ingredients are available, what's the harm in having it every day?
Actually, it might be tough preparing such fancy cuisine on a daily basis.
Plus the crew members on the preparation side would be on the losing end in terms of employment benefits.
I am not an ogre. I will drop the idea of having osechi every day and make do with daily soba bowls instead.
That settles it. From this day forth, we will consume at least one portion of soba each day. Come on, smile. Look, instead of giving you New Year's money, I will treat you to your first bowl.

Skies and the stars beyond... Life and death... Organic and inorganic matter...
Don't you find it strange how the world is full of dichotomies? It's as if the world itself is averse to the concept of singularity.
Such opposing forces are necessary to foster change, yet at times, they make this world feel so hopeless.
Hm... It's like soba and udon—natural enemies.
With that said, off to the dining hall we go. There should still be some of yesterday's soba left. We need to hurry before somebody else eats it.
While we eat, let us revel in the fact udon was not selected to be the food of choice for New Year's Eve.

Happy New Year. Have you thought about what sort of year you'd like to make this?
Your decisions today may follow you for the rest of the year. Choose wisely!

Happy New Year. Days like this invigorate both body and soul.
For the crew and those back at home, we must keep moving forward.
But we must also pace ourselves lest we lose sight of our goals.
Keep that in mind and care for yourself always. That is your duty as captain.
You know how I worry. Do it for me, won't you, (Captain)?

Happy New Year, (Captain).
I hope all the crew members and all the people of Alster have another wonderful year.
I'll do all I can to make this year a success.
One can't focus solely on others though.
Especially you, (Captain). I often see you pushing yourself far too hard at times. Do take care, my Captain.

Happy New Year, (Captain). I pray we all have another blessed year together.
Focus your mind and spirit now and lay a foundation for the new year ahead.
What... was that sound just now?
(Captain)... Did you come out to see the sunrise before eating?
Hehe... I've prepared some food for everyone so that we can start the new year off right in clover.
There's also some Alsterian cuisine prepared, so please eat up to your heart's content.

Happy New Year, (Captain). We've a promising year before us.
You wish to know how we celebrated the new year... As a royal family? Well, it was one ceremony after another.
For the people, the king would hold rites in the capital. These marked the coming of the new year.
Then the royal family would exchange greetings with knights and lords—that is, the classes that assist in the conducting of state affairs.
This exchange of words is in itself an important rite. It strengthens the connection between the ruling class and its people and retainers.
I too received many visitors alongside my father. It required great focus, but I also took great pride in my role.
Yes, it was very tiring—I was so young. But my father always praised me for carrying out my duties, and that made me happier than anything.
Now that I think back on it, the New Year's ceremonies were to me a rare chance to enjoy time with my family.

Happy New Year.
I'm glad we've been able to spend this New Year's Eve together.
Heh heh. It's getting late, but I hope you have some great dreams tonight. Well then, good night.

Happy New Year! And what a year it's been!
I'm grateful to be able to travel with you guys. Every day's been an adventure!
I still remember the day I left the island to seek a name for myself like it was yesterday.
I've got to keep honing my skills if I don't want the dream my partner and I share to come to an end.
Yes. To hear the cries of joy coming from the adoring ladies, I won't hesitate to make any sacrifices!
Here's to another wonderful year!

Happy New Year!
I'm glad you came to wish me a happy new year so soon.
My first dream of the year was of you. So I wanted to see you too.
Hmm? What kind of dream was it? Haha. I can't tell you that.
But... if you really insist...
Spend some time with me tonight, and you might get me to spill it.

Happy New Year!
Before I started traveling with you all, every day was filled with practice of my technique.
I wasn't too mindful of time or the passing seasons.
But celebrating the beginning of a new year really makes you feel fresh and new.
This year I'll keep practicing... and put aside time to spend with you all too, naturally.
Heh-heh, have a wonderful year!

Happy New Year, (Captain).
Welcoming in the new year is always such a joyous occasion, but it's so much more to me than that.
Just being able to spend time with you guys is the best part.
Are you free after this by any chance, (Captain)?
I wouldn't mind enjoying a quiet celebration with just the two of us. Those are my favorite kind.

Before I started traveling with you all, every day was filled with practice of my technique.
I wasn't too mindful of time or the passing seasons.
But celebrating the beginning of a new year really makes you feel fresh and new.
This year I'll keep practicing... and put aside time to spend with you all too, naturally.
Heh-heh, have a wonderful year!

Happy New Year, (Captain).
Welcoming in the new year is always such a joyous occasion, but it's so much more to me than that.
Just being able to spend time with you guys is the best part.
Are you free after this by any chance, (Captain)?
I wouldn't mind enjoying a quiet celebration with just the two of us. Those are my favorite kind.

Happy New Year, (Captain).
But you know, having a calm start to the new year is a first for me.
When my father was still healthy, he'd wake me up early for grueling morning drills. That was after I joined the Iron Spear Agents.
It became our custom to sweat the entire New Year's day training. New-dawn drills we called them.
Ahaha, so would you care to indulge me, (Captain)?
Let's work up a good sweat with some new-dawn drills!

(Captain), happy New Year
This morning the crew and I prepared a traditional Iron Spear's New Year's dish called Osechi.
Would you like to try some? I think it came out well.
We believe this dish brings good luck. At the very least, I hope it will have a placebo effect.
Please do have some.
I wish nothing but the best for you, our leader.
We made a lot, so feel free to take seconds!

Happy New Year, (Captain).
I'm deeply grateful we both made it safely through a year filled with so many dangerous assignments.
Thanks to you and the crew, it's been a very fulfilling twelve months for me.
I do have some regrets, however. I feel like my ceding to impure thoughts has caused trouble for all of you.
So would you accompany me on my first shrine visit of the year?
I want to go and pledge not to let my impure thoughts mislead me.
That should strengthen my resolve to diamond hardness. Don't you think?

Recent going-ons in life, an updated training menu... Hm, what else should I write down...
Ah, (Captain). Happy New Year.
Oh, this? I'm writing a New Year's greeting card to my Iron Spear agents.
It's been a while since our last contact. They say no news is the best news, but I think it's still important to keep each other informed.
Not to mention they tend to laze about when I'm not around, so this letter should serve as a reminder to keep their training up.
Funny thing is... When I'm coaching them directly, they really get into it.
All this talk about training has me itching for some action...
All right, (Captain)! Can I ask you to spar with me to get me going?

Happy New Year, (Captain). Are you free right now?
Under normal circumstances, I'd ask that you accompany me for some training... But for today, I'd like you to just stand in front of me.
You see, there's a kind of discipline to calm the mind that is a New Year's tradition on one island.
I was attempting to do it on my own, but... Standing idly by myself wasn't doing much.
That's why I'd like you to be here while I try to keep myself from training.
It'll be more of a challenge that way, since I always want to cross swords whenever I see you.
If I can manage to do this, then I know this'll be the year that I can overcome all my impure thoughts!
Now come closer.
All right, I've got this! Just watch me!

Icarus

Icarus: Happy New Year, (Captain)! Doesn't it feel great when the year starts off with such fantastic weather?
I'm about to go training for the first time this year! Wanna join me, (Captain)?
Deimos: (Intriguing. Is it not customary for you mortals to spend the new year relaxing and having whatever depraved fun you enjoy?)
Icarus: Heheh. If I'm really shooting to be the number one warrior throughout the skies, I can't just skip a day of training!
Besides, I wanna get strong enough to adventure on my own and free ya, Deimos!
Deimos: (Well, I applaud your willingness to try. Keep up the good work.)
Icarus: I sure will! A'ight, how 'bout we start off with a brisk mountain hike!


Illnott

Good night! Managed to get up soon as the sun went down. C'mon, little dude. Let's go catch the first moonrise.
What do you mean, you've already seen it? Bull. What you witnessed was the first sunrise. I'm talking about the first moonrise here.
That's what I've been saying. Why else do you think I woke up so early?
Took you long enough. Anyway, once we've had our fill of the moon, we're gonna blow up New Year's night!
What should we do? Where should we bomb? Hope you're ready for this.
Cause we're gonna be guilty of so much foul play this year, little dude, you can't hope to keep track of it all.

...
Yawn... Yaaawn... Ngh... Mmph...
First sunrise of the year... You wanted me to see it... So I'm here...
Not bad... Actually, it's frickin' lit. This morning stuff is def... For real...
Must be 'cause you're here... Damn, I can't take it any more... We're sleeping... 'til night falls...
Illnott rushes forwards and catches (Captain) in her arms.
It's the grip of death. No matter how the captain struggles, there's no escape. All that's left to do is surrender.
Sigh... Nice. You're so soft. First cuddle of the year... See you tonight.

Zzz...
The New Year's sun unfurls its rays behind Illnott, who lies sound asleep with her arms wrapped around (Captain).
At the captain's request, the two had traveled out into the crisp pre-dawn to watch the sunrise, but Illnott drifted off just as the sky began to pale.
(Captain) watches Illnott's sleeping face, its outline glowing faintly in the golden light.
Mm... Zzz... Little... Dude...
You're my knight... Heh... Illknight...
Choose: Here's to another year together.
Mm... To... another year...
Slowly, (Captain)'s eyes close, and the captain joins Illnott in the land of dreams.

Good night, little dude! Nothing beats the first moonrise of the year, huh?
The moonlight's nice and easy on the eyes and skin. This late, there's only sweet, sweet silence too.
Hehe, it's the perfect time to party in secret. What kinda late-night fun do you wanna get up to?
I'll let you decide for once. Show me a good time, yeah?
Start the new year off with a bang.

Happy New Year.
A good number of the Society's recruits will be taking the day off today, so I was ordered to take the day off as well.
However the body becomes weak if it's not exercised. I'm planning on running all the way down a street and back.
If I am not strict with myself, then I won't be able to reflect the necessary attitude to the recruits during training.
Mm? You say you want to come along too? I don't mind.
But you should know my course is going to be tough. There's no giving up halfway through.
Hehe. Prepare yourself.

Happy New Year, (Captain). Quite the early bird, you are.
Is that right? So you have a full day ahead and decided to finish your training before everyone else woke up.
That is, without a doubt, the very quality a crew captain should command.
What am I doing? My usual training regiment of course.
Bumping into me was no coincidence. Didn't this happen last year too? There's no need to lecture you on overtraining.
Haha, but I see how it is! You've taken a shine to my routine.
Then prepare to sweat like you've never sweat before!

Happy New Year.
Thank you for inviting me to the banquet yesterday. I really enjoyed myself—I haven't laughed that hard in a while.
I have a feeling that traveling with such pleasant companions will make this another enriching year.
Now that I've had plenty of rest, it's time to begin my first training session of the new year.
Care to join me, (Captain)? I'd be happy to train you relentlessly again this year.
Haha... That's what I like to hear.
Then I'll be waiting in the plaza over yonder whenever you're ready!

Hm... I came here thinking it would be better in the morning, but it's still pretty crowded here at the shrine.
Well, I have today off so there's no need to rush. I guess I'll just take it slow and enjoy the holiday.
Hm? Are they giving out sweet sake to the people standing in line? What a great idea. Let's have some ourselves.
Foo, foo... Gulp.
Aah... It's perfect for warming up the body.
By the way, (Captain). Have you decided what you're going to wish for?
It's going to be a while until our turn. Why don't we take this time to share our wishes for this year with each other?

Happy New Year. It's always a blessing to make it to this point safely.
My plans? With the Foe thwarted—at least for now—I'd love to finally visit my parents again... But that's not happening.
I've got my troops to look after. It's hard to announce my plans when some of them don't have homes to go back to.
I'll probably have to wait until something big happens in the family. Maybe to break the news if I get engaged. That'd be nice.
Where am I from? Just a regular town like anywhere else. Nothing really interesting to see.
Still, I'll give you a tour if you stop by. Plus, you have to try my Mom's cooking.
I've told my parents about you in the letters I send them, you know. I'm sure they'd love to meet you.

Io

Happy New Year!
Can I get my New Year's presents now?

Ugh... I was up all night last night, so I'm really sleepy.
This happens to me every year, but I can't possibly stay in bed on New Year's Eve.
Oh, I shouldn't be complaining like this! It's not very lady-like.
So let me just say, happy New Year, (Captain)!

Wow! Is that for me? For New Year's? Thanks, (Captain)!
Oh, wait!
I'm supposed to be a full-grown lady now...
I should be the one giving out gifts.
Wait here! I'll be right back with presents for all the little ones!
Hehe! Of course! What else would you expect from a grown-up like me!

Hey, (Captain)! How would you say I've changed since last year?
I'd say I'm becoming more of a refined lady with every passing day, wouldn't you?
Hey... Why'd you go silent? Say something!
Ah. Nope, nope. Settle down, Io. What's that thing Rosetta always says? "Anger and haste hinder good counsel"?
You've taught me something important today, (Captain).
Heh heh! First day of the new year, and already I'm taking another step on the staircase of refinement!

Wow, just look at that! I'm still a little sleepy, but I'm glad I made the effort to wake up early and catch the first sunrise of the year.
Um, how's that saying go? "Decisions made on New Year's Day are the key to a successful year," or something? I should decide on my New Year's resolution soon...
Hmm, but what should it be?
What about you? Have you already decided on yours?
As for me... I guess I have something, but it's more like a life goal than a resolution.
One day I'll be an adult that everyone looks up to! Yeah, it has to be that.
It's going to be a long journey there, but I'll do my best this year too!


Io (Grand)

Happy New Year!
Can I get my New Year's presents now?

Ugh... I was up all night last night, so I'm really sleepy.
This happens to me every year, but I can't possibly stay in bed on New Year's Eve.
Oh, I shouldn't be complaining like this! It's not very lady-like.
So let me just say, happy New Year, (Captain)!

Wow! Is that for me? For New Year's? Thanks, (Captain)!
Oh, wait!
I'm supposed to be a full-grown lady now...
I should be the one giving out gifts.
Wait here! I'll be right back with presents for all the little ones!
Hehe! Of course! What else would you expect from a grown-up like me!

Hey, (Captain)! How would you say I've changed since last year?
I'd say I'm becoming more of a refined lady with every passing day, wouldn't you?
Hey... Why'd you go silent? Say something!
Ah. Nope, nope. Settle down, Io. What's that thing Rosetta always says? "Anger and haste hinder good counsel"?
You've taught me something important today, (Captain).
Heh heh! First day of the new year, and already I'm taking another step on the staircase of refinement!

Wow, just look at that! I'm still a little sleepy, but I'm glad I made the effort to wake up early and catch the first sunrise of the year.
Um, how's that saying go? "Decisions made on New Year's Day are the key to a successful year," or something? I should decide on my New Year's resolution soon...
Hmm, but what should it be?
What about you? Have you already decided on yours?
As for me... I guess I have something, but it's more like a life goal than a resolution.
One day I'll be an adult that everyone looks up to! Yeah, it has to be that.
It's going to be a long journey there, but I'll do my best this year too!

Ippatsu

Happy New Year! Now just how many bowls of ramen will I get to eat this year...
The anticipation's killing me!

Happy New Year, Captain! Listed out your new year resolutions yet?
Me? Of course! I have but one! Taste all the ramen I can find!
Ah yes, and exercise it all off.
Ramen always tastes better when you're in tip-top shape!

Happy New Year! Let's make this year a good one!
I tell you, there sure are a lot of good cooks in this crew!
And the stuff they serve up for New Year's celebrations is really scrumptious!
But, you know... Pampering your taste buds like that refines the tongue.
That means I'd better choose carefully which type of ramen to start off the new year with.
Oh, what a luxurious dilemma!

Happy New Year! Here's to another year of travels together.
By the way, (Captain). Are you a fan of mochi?
Did you know that mochi actually goes quite well on ramen?
I thought we'd have some ramen with mochi to ring in the new year.
So what do you say, (Captain)? Let's share our first bowls of the year together.

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
Boy, I sure encountered a lot of outstanding ramen last year.
When I think of all the new encounters to come in the next year, I get so excited it feels like my heart's about to burst.
What's that? My stomach should be the one bursting?
Ahaha! That's a good point, (Captain)!
Eating so much delicious ramen that your stomach bursts sounds like living the dream...
But if I screw up my health, I won't be able to eat ramen anymore.
I'm going to eat in moderation and keep an eye on my condition so I can enjoy ramen forever!

Isaac

Yawn... All right, I'm done inputting the sunrise time...
Hey, (Captain). I look sleepy to you? Well, I was up all night, so no surprise there.
Measuring the new year's sunrise has become a tradition for me. Some of this data's necessary for receiving transmissions from the moon.
I don't know the whole of it, but it apparently helps with offsetting certain values.
After all, I wouldn't want to miss any messages from my buddy Raybury.
I wonder if he's gotten used to life on the moon...

Isaac: Yawn... I'm done inputting the time of the New Year's sunrise.
That does it for my first job of the year. Haha, it's nothing worth watching really.
Not feeling sleepy, Cousin? You've been bored just waiting for the sun to come up.
Not really, eh? Truth be told, I'm glad we got to talk too.
Maybe we can do this again next year—
Huh?
Transmitter: Icnoming Phidcast.
Isaac: A transmission? Must be someone from the moon trying to get through to us.
Hm, let's see...
"Another all-nighter, buddy? When the sun rises, don't forget you're supposed to be in the friend zone."
It's from Raybury! Wait a sec, how does he know... Is he watching us?
Actually don't worry about it, Cousin. And I promise you have nothing to worry about from me either.
Haha... Raybury's jokes sure hit hard after an all-nighter...

So this is the shrine of the Twelve Divine Generals... It's a nice place. Quiet and solemn.
As more and more people flow over to pay their respects, I'm sure that atmosphere will change a bit. I'm looking forward to seeing that too.
Thanks for bringing me here. It's not a familiar place to me by any means, but I still find it kind of comforting.
It's so nice. As long as you're not bothering anyone or causing harm, they'll accept anyone.
No need to worry about roots or any of those sorts of differences... It's quite a relief to be allowed here.
Well, it looks like the food stalls are starting to open. How about some New Year's morning grub?
My treat.


Izmir

A new year has begun, it seems.
I had never really thought I would be ringing in the new year with anyone else.
It makes me very... happy.
When I was living on that mountain, I was near what I was supposed to protect. It was that thought that always kept me company.
But now that I know everyone's kindness, I don't think I could ever go back to that mountain.
Hehe. So (Captain), let's ring in the new year... together.

Happy New Year, (Captain). My, what a revitalizing day it is.
I usually don't have such a fresh outlook at the start of a new year. Traveling with you is what made that possible.
It might be natural for you, but feeling refreshed and invigorated is a change of pace for me.
I'm happy for the change, but it's also a little... sad?
I guess it's kind of weird to think of it like that.
I look forward to another year with you, (Captain).

Oh, hello, hello! I din't know you were here, (Captain).
Yeeheehee! Happy New Year!
I just had some New Year's sake.
It's my first time drinking!
Hoo... My body's all hot...
I guess there's not much I can do about being flushed all over. But it feels nice actually.
Heehee... Let's have you and I have a drink when you're older, okay?

Happy New Year, (Captain). I see you've woken up early to catch the first sunrise.
Aah... It's so beautiful. The warm rays feel nice against my skin.
Too bad the wind is a bit chilly. You mustn't let the cold take over your body.
Mm, you're right. You should head back and slip under the kotatsu. By the way, what's a kotatsu?
A table that is covered in a blanket with a fire lit underneath? To think there'd be such a thing.
Are you inviting me too, (Captain)? Heehee, thank you.
It's fun experiencing the unknown. And I have you to thank for giving me all these opportunities.
I wonder what else I'll get to experience from now on? Let's have a wonderful year, (Captain).

You know, when I went to draw my fortune just now, I got bad luck.
Since it's not very nice to get bad luck, I was a little upset...
But I suppose the fact that something might happen means I won't be bored.
It could be thrilling. That's when I thought, maybe it's not so bad after all.
But I would hate it if my bad luck ended up causing trouble for you, (Captain)...
So you'll have to let me stay by your side to protect you this year. All right?

Jamil

Greetings on this, the beginning of another year. I hope it is full of many wonders. You're a truly inspirational captain.
Huh? I'm too formal? I'm sorry, that's just how I was trained. H-Happy New Year!
Haha... I feel a bit embarassed now.

Are you ready to rock the new year, Master (Captain)?
...
Ah, I was simply trying out a more casual New Year's greeting...
Did it seem odd?
Too stiff, you say? Hmm...
Trying to say it naturally is actually quite difficult. But I shall continue to practice.

Happy New Year, Master. I sincerely hope ya have a boss year.
...
Um... That's not really how young people talk, is it? It's difficult trying to match the way they speak.
Hmm... More difficult than assassinations even. I must concentrate harder.

Master, this year I wish to offer you my felicitations in a style more befitting my age.
Prepare yourself... Here I go.
Slappy New-New, best wishes, party hearty, may old acquaintance be forgot, bang out those resolutions, my dude, to Zinkenstill with love, Jamil.
How was that? I asked advice from everyone who patronizes Raduga and decided to combine their suggestions.
From the look on your face, I suspect I missed the mark...
I will begin training for next year.

Master, this year... please allow me to offer my greetings in a manner befitting my age.
I received words of advice from various customers at Raduga, as well as from a few members of our crew...
I believe I've prepared something more suited for my age.
Here I go!
Happy New Year. I am most grateful for the kindness and advice you have given me in the past year. No words can fully express my heartfelt appreciation for you, Master.
Though there is still much for me to learn, I hope I can continue to receive your guidance over the duration of this upcoming year. My best happy New Year wishes, and may you have a totally awesome one.
I was told that it would be best to tailor my greetings into something befitting my age as well as my personality. How was it?
It was very appropriate for me? Do you truly think so, Master? Thank you very much! What a splendid start to the new year!

You're not worried because I'm here? Oh, come now, don't say that, (Captain).
My medicine's only for those who take care of themselves. Teehee...

(Captain), I made some tea for the both of us!
This is a special herbal mix that cleans the body of toxins!
Let's drink it together for good health!
Here's to another fantastic year, (Captain)!

Rabbit:
Jasmine: Haha. Ah, (Captain), why don't we pet the animals together?
Rabbits are said to be creatures of fortune, so a nice head pat should bring us good luck for the year.
Eep! Oh, (Captain)!
Patting my head won't get you very far! Teehee...

Oh dear, (Captain)! How long have you been waiting outside?
Since how early? But that's still a lot of time before we were supposed to meet...
It makes me happy to know how much you're looking forward to watching the sunrise together.
But you're practically frozen! You're going to catch a cold!
Come over here!
I forgot to bring any hand warmers unfortunately.
So my own hands will just have to do.
Teehee. After the sun comes out, we'll go back to the airship, and I'll fix us some hot tea.
But until then I'll keep your hands toasty.

Ah, (Captain)! You're up already?
Since you ended up waiting so long for me last year, I was planning on waking you up...
Just goes to show how excited the both of us are about this.
We can get a pretty good view of the New Year's sunrise this early in the day.
Afterward we can go visit the shrine.
Oh, and before I forget... Happy New Year, (Captain).

Jeanne d'Arc

A year of new beginnings is upon us.
I think it's a fine idea to write down your resolutions as a means of changing yourself. As for me, I hope to find more ways to help the world.

At the beginning of each new year, I reflect upon what it means to save the world.
Perhaps it is not as monumental as I make it out to be.
Simply piling up the small deeds one at a time may be another way to make the world a better place.
At any rate the answer to what I should do next does not come easily.
It's something I'd like to reevaluate at the start of each new year.

Happy New Year, (Captain).
What am I doing? I'm restitching the embroidery on my battle banner.
It's a way for me to bolster my frame of mind at the start of a new year.
Not to mention it allows me to reflect upon myself.
To raise the banner high is to raise one's spirits. It is a time of exaltation.
What if you were to try polishing your own armor? You may just find something new.

Happy New Year, (Captain)! I'm looking forward to another year of adventure with you.
Just as you're constantly helping me, I intend to do everything in my power to become a reliable ally for you.
I know that may seem ridiculous, considering you're the one who's working so hard for all of us.
Even still, whether you realize it or not, whenever we encounter danger, I think the difference between us becomes apparent.
Whenever anyone is in need of help, you're always the one who reaches out to them.
It shows the quality of your character that you have such thoughts, (Captain).

New Year's fortunes? In a way, it is another form of revelation that one must draw carefully...
...!
Let's see... Hmm, it seems I will have great luck this year. While this is a good omen, what's important is the contents of the fortune.
It says... that my wish will come true if I pursue the path I believe to be right.
The path I believe to be right, huh? In other words, to move toward what I myself know to be true...
Or rather, the path that follows my belief, or perhaps to follow the guidance of the creator...
Hmm... What do you think, (Captain)? I'd like to hear your thoughts on how you'd interpret this.


Jeanne d'Arc (Dark)

Welcome to another exciting new year.
It's so cold outside, won't you stay inside and spend the evening with me?
Hey, come closer... No need to be shy.

Hm, what's the matter? Where do you plan to go amid these freezing temperatures?
Haha, I knew it. You don't want to go outside and turn numb.
Come closer. It won't feel so cold if we huddle together.
Haha... You make me feel so warm, Captain.

You always watch the first sunrise of the year without fail.
It doesn't mean anything. The sun rises everyday, bright as usual.
Just because light is shed upon the year doesn't mean that the world will undergo change.
But the moments spent with you are an unchanging delight.
I don't think it would be selfish of me to want to be with you for all of eternity...
And I won't let this precious moment slip away either.
Why don't you direct your attention away from the sun and toward me instead?

A new year... It's not as if today is any different than yesterday, however.
But then again, sometimes the unchanging nature of the world is form of salvation.
Take for example, (Captain)... The constant warmth of your hand or the invariable affection of your voice...
These things have certainly saved me.
(Captain)... May I stay with you a while longer?
As long as you are with me, I feel that I can carry on living—even if I'm never cleansed of my sins.

(Captain)... What is this?
A blanket to keep me warm while I wait for the sunrise?
Thank you... Then let's wrap this around us us both. It'll be warmer with two of us.
Despite losing my cause and merely treading through these cursed days...
Here I am now, wondering to myself what cause there could be.
How could there be anything more precious than this happiness I feel in this very moment from feeling the beat of your heart, reminding me again that I am alive?
I know it is foolish to think that we can stay this way forever...
But at least until the sun rises... I hope we can remain like this for just a while longer...

Jeanne d'Arc (SR)

Happy New Year. I look forward to another great year for us.
The start of a new year is truly a momentous occasion. I always find myself feeling refreshed.
Of course, that's not to say the previous year was spent in waste...
Regardless, I vow to train harder than ever this year!
There's no telling when the chance to save someone will come -- I must be ready for it.
Better safe than sorry, as they say.

Happy New Year, (Captain)! Let's hope good health finds us this year as well!
I suspect my studies in Orleans will continue to pile up, but that's another reason to stay in good shape.
In order to reach a big goal, one has to take care of all the small things one-by-one.
(Captain), your big goal is to one day arrive at the ends of the skies.
To successfully get there, you should take care not to get sick or injured on the way.

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
I'm glad we were able to make it through another year together.
I am a soldier of Orleans, and you, (Captain), are a skyfarer. Both of us have the duty of risking our lives in times of need.
As that is our resolution as well as our pride, we must take care of ourselves in times of peace so that we can give our all when the time comes.
In order to protect that peace and overcome the trials that we may face, this year, let's continue to train ourselves and grow stronger together.

Happy New Year! It brings me great joy to be able to ring in another year with you.
We managed to spend our peaceful days living in good health and cheer, just as we set out to do.
For the battles that we did fight, we proved to be formidable warriors. I am grateful that the heavens have not yet decreed me unworthy.
We should decide on our goals for this year—the first of which must be to continue diligently training.
As long as we remain dedicated, there is no challenge that we cannot overcome!

Happy New Year, (Captain).
These yearly greetings between us have become routine, haven't they?
Which is why I wanted to reiterate the powerful impact spending New Year's with you has had on me.
My resolve to fulfill my mission is unbreakable. Nevertheless, being commanded to "save the world" is a very tall order.
I do get very anxious at times. It makes me wonder if I'm actually making any progress toward the mission at all.
But then we extol the exploits we've had over the past year and make new goals for ourselves.
In doing so, it galvanizes me for the year to come, thus raising my morale.
So I just wanted to thank you again, (Captain). Nothing would make me happier than to have you by my side like you have always been.

Time to celebrate the new year!
This last year passed so quickly. Since I started traveling with you, (Captain), the seasons just seem to fly by.

Cakes, sweet drinks, red-bean soup... There are so many great things to eat for New Year's. It's hard to decide, isn't it?
But people also say it's easy to gain weight this time of year. I better watch my diet.
What's that? You think I shouldn't worry so much?
I can't let my guard down now! That could lead to all kinds of trouble!
We have to be sure to take good care of ourselves.
I suppose that does sound a little preachy, doesn't it?
Hehe. Whenever I look at you, I guess my sisterly instincts start to kick in.

Happy New Year.
It's a beautiful sunrise, huh?
Hehe. What a wonderful, relaxing way to spend the first hours of the new year.
We did so much last year.
What kind of stuff are you expecting to do this year?
I'm so excited to see what'll happen next. Captain, I look forward to our upcoming travels!

Happy New Year, (Captain). Here's to another great one.
All righty then... Today I'll be taking all the little kids on the crew for their first shrine visit of the year. Then—
Hm? You'll go with me tomorrow, so we can take today off to relax?
Hm... I think I'll take you up on that.
The kids will have more fun with you along...
And so will I.
Let's really be lazy today, and tomorrow we'll all go to the shrine together!

Happy New Year, (Captain).
The shrine festival sure was fun, wasn't it? We all drew our fortunes and drank sweet sake...
What? Hehe... You want to know what I wished for?
Well... I wished for everyone to remain safe on our journey through the coming year.
As I'm sure you know, there are a lot of people on the crew who tend to overdo things for the sake of others. I always find myself worrying...
Oh, (Captain)! Don't stand there looking like that doesn't apply to you! You're the biggest offender!
Before you push yourself too hard, make sure to ask for help from me or another crewmate. Promise me you will, okay?

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
Nice to see you and Ayer up so early for the occasion!
Lowain and Vane made lots of osechi, and there's still plenty left!
Anyway, it's such a joy to see you all able to get up by yourselves.
For the New Year's shrine visit, I'll have to pray that I can mature just as much.

Hmm, what to do, what to do...
Ah, (Captain)! Sorry, I didn't see you there.
Happy New Year! Hope this one is as good as the last for the both of us!
What's bothering me? Oh, it's nothing really...
I tried on my kimono earlier this morning and, um... I don't know, it just felt different.
Maybe it's because I had it made before I cut my hair, and I'm stuck on how I looked at the time.
I was just wondering if I should get something tailored to fit the way I look now, that's all.
Choose: Let's go look at some clothes right now!
N-now? Are you sure? Don't you have plans today?
Aw, thanks for offering, (Captain)! All right, let's go together!

Happy New Year. May this year be just as good as the last.
Now then, enough formalities. Let's eat!

Happy New Year, (Captain). You can count on my support this year too.
Know that I'll be right behind you to the ends of the skies and beyond.
Ha-ha. A little too formal, huh? I just thought I'd say it formally to mark the new year.
We can enjoy the fun times only because there are times when we must focus. Balance in everything is what counts.

A splendid new year to you! I hope that our crew continues to prosper.
I intend to work just as hard as before so that you may successfully find your way to the end of the skies.
Haha... I suppose I'm being overly formal for the first day of the new year. But not without good reason.
A fresh year presents a unique opportunity to begin anew. It truly is a splendid time to change one's attitude.

Happy New Year. Here's to another year of journeying together.
I intend to do my utmost to be an asset to your crew, Captain.
Ha-ha. I apologize for being so formal every year.
But I believe it's important for me to put my feelings into words. I appreciate you being willing to hear me out.
Now then, all this formality is exhausting.
What do you say we replenish our energy by enjoying a delicious New Year's meal!

Auguste's fishermen swim through winter waters as a way of praying for a year's worth of large catches.
I was thinking of doing the same thing to pray for our crew's health and good fortune.
Haha, don't look so worried. I'll come back unharmed.
The cold never bothered me anyway. On the contrary, taking in cool air and cold water is quite refreshing.
It's a good training opportunity too!
Now, I must be off.
... Heave-ho!

The cold never bothered me anyway. On the contrary, taking in cool air and cold water is quite refreshing.
It's a good training opportunity too!
Now, I must be off.
... Heave-ho!

Happy New Year. May this year be just as good as the last.
Now then, enough formalities. Let's eat!

Happy New Year, (Captain). You can count on my support this year too.
Know that I'll be right behind you to the ends of the skies and beyond.
Ha-ha. A little too formal, huh? I just thought I'd say it formally to mark the new year.
We can enjoy the fun times only because there are times when we must focus. Balance in everything is what counts.

A splendid new year to you! I hope that our crew continues to prosper.
I tend to work just as hard as before so that you may successfully find your way to the end of the skies.
Haha... I suppose I'm being overly formal for the first day of the new year. But not without good reason.
A fresh year presents a unique opportunity to begin anew. It truly is a splendid time to change one's attitude.

Happy New Year. Here's to another year of journeying together.
I intend to do my utmost to be an asset to your crew, Captain.
Ha-ha. I apologize for being so formal every year.
But I believe it's important for me to put my feelings into words. I appreciate you being willing to hear me out.
Now then, all this formality is exhausting.
What do you say we replenish our energy by enjoying a delicious New Year's meal!

Joel

Happy New Year! Be sure not to waste this important holiday.
The weather might be chilly, but don't stay cooped up inside. Try and take a walk. It'll warm you up!

If you relax all through the holiday, you might feel sluggish once it's over.
That's why you should try moving around a little. Even food tastes better after some exercise!
Come on! Let's take a little stroll outside! It'll warm you up.
Why don't you wear something light in case you break a sweat? Like a cardigan or something.
And don't forget, you could catch a cold if you don't stay active.
All right! Shall we head out then for a walk?

Huff, huff, huff, huff...
Happy New Year, (Captain)... Me? Well, the morning air felt so fresh, so I went and had a jog.
The weather's great today... You should try some exercise too.
By the way, I saw a crowd of people headed up the thousand-stair path near the mountain while I was out.
They say that if you climb all one thousand steps and make a wish at the top, then it'll come true.
You wanna check it out? Yeah, I figured you'd say that when I told you.
But climbing a thousand steps can be hard on your body, so let's take our time and not rush.
Go get changed and wait for me back here. I'll go make some hot tea to bring along to keep ourselves warm.

Happy New Year. This is a great opportunity for us to make sure we're all in good health.
To that end proper diet and exercise are key.
So I'm gonna go out for a run. There's nothing better than setting and maintaining good habits from the start of a new year.
Hm, you thought I'd say that? You're ready to go running too because you saw my annual invite from a mile away?
Good, both of us are prepped then. Let's get going.
Since we're doing this, we might as well follow up with some intense bodyweight exercises after the run.
To another year of fantastic health, (Captain)!

(Captain)... (Captain)! Come on, wake up. You planning on sleeping all day?
Let's go running. If you wanna stay fit all year, you have to start working for it from the get-go.
What? It's boring if all we're doing is running? Well, I guess...
Then... How about this? Let's wake everyone else up and run as a big group.
I mean, people feel connected when they're all doing the same thing, right? So it'd be like setting a resolution to stay traveling buddies.
Sounds like fun? All right! Then get up! I'll go gather the crew while you're changing. See you in a bit.
Oh wait. Almost forgot. Happy New Years, (Captain).
Also... Don't go back to sleep.

Johann

Another year is upon us, which means we're that much further from antiquity.
My resolution is to see all the ruins of old before they vanish.

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
We've come to the start of another year, yes? How wondrous.
Last year was quite fruitful. What astonishing discoveries and mysteries await me this year? I can hardly wait to find out!

Say, (Captain), will you partake in a New Year's custom from a different land? All you have to do is write down your resolution for this year.
Yes, I even have the materials all prepared for you. Go for it.
Phew, I'm all done. How about you, (Captain)?
Hahaha. Oh no, I'm not laughing at your resolution.
Someday in the distant future, someone is bound to see our mementos of the past.
I wonder what that person will think of us.
I get the strangest sense of elation when I imagine myself as a small part of the larger tapestry that is history.

(Captain), happy New Year.
It's the start of a new time. What will you do with it? Last year you wrote down a resolution...
Since then I've read quite a few texts and found other quite varied traditions...
Some that have lasted, some that have changed, and some that have vanished...
So many different cultures have crossed so many unique roads. It really is fascinating.
The me of the past would have stopped there.
But now I have you and all the members of the crew.
Why stop at talking when there are so many things we could do together!
That would give me the chance to really feel everything I read for myself!

Happy New Year, (Captain).
Are you surprised? This enormous feast of food laid out before you is today's breakfast.
I'm afraid this is my fault. A few crew members listened to my explanation of a region which enjoys twelve meals for New Year's Day, and they all decided to replicate the tradition.
They wished to incorporate every kind of food possible, so they're busy researching other cuisine at the moment.
Oh, there's nothing to worry about! I've come prepared with stomach medicine in case anyone needs it.
So we can eat to our heart's content and relax into the new year.

Joy (Event)

Today is New Year's Day!
Happy New Year, (Captain)!
Joy is happy to be here to say it in bellson.
(Captain), do you want to toll with Joy?
Joy has been practicing to make a beautiful gong!
Gooong!
Gooonnnggg!
Now you try, (Captain)!

Happy New Year! (Captain)!
Joy rang loud and clear!
Do you think Joya is proud? I hope so!
By the way! Everyone will visit shrines soon! Right?
Joy wants to go too!
Mahira... Kumbhira... Vikala... Joy wants to go to all their shrines! Is that okay?
Will you take Joy?
Yay! (Captain)! Thank you!
Joy will get ready to go!

Happy New Year!
You know, Andira said today is for "sleeping in."
It's Joy's first time hearing about "sleeping in" on New Year's. Do you know about it, (Captain)?
You mean, it's spending New Year's sleeping and relaxing?
So not everyone goes to the shrine? I see. There are many ways to spend New Year's!
Okay, Joy will "sleep in" today too. Let's relax together, (Captain)!

Happy New Year!
Take a look—Joy made a kadomatsu! Isn't that impressive?
Joy learned how to make one from Anila. It's simple. Cut some bamboo. Next, pair it with pine decorations like so.
Anila says that they attract good fortune wherever they are placed.
Let's have another happy and enjoyable year together, (Captain)!

Happy New Year! There's so much snow! It's beautiful!
The snowflakes shine a lot under the morning sun!
Joy doesn't feel the cold or fresh air...
But Joy still feels energized!
You feel so too, right, (Captain)?
Joy hopes you have a great year!


Juliet

So much has happened in the past year. I've gained a lot, and I've lost a lot.
It hasn't been all good times, but those experiences are what have shaped me into the person I am today.
I've decided I won't be scared of the future. In fact I look forward to it.
Now that the new year is about to begin, I wonder what's in store for us?
I get a little anxious when I'm alone, so please stay by my side, (Captain).

Happy New Year, (Captain). I'm so glad we can all welcome in the new year together.
By the way, I wonder who decided that today would be the day we celebrate the new year?
If we didn't have a calendar, today and tomorrow would seem exactly alike.
And I'm sure the sun doesn't think that it's commemorating something special when it rises tomorrow.
It's because someone decided that today would be when we start counting the next year that we have a reason to celebrate.
Hehe. Isn't it fascinating how saying the year begins anew can make you feel so refreshed?
The present becomes the past, the future becomes the present. Never forgetting the lessons of the past while looking forward to the future, that's how I want to live.
(Captain). Here's to another wonderful new year.

Happy New Year. It's so lovely to be with you for this new beginning.
(Captain), what are your plans for today?
I'm going to tour the town and see how everyone's doing.
After I've said hello and chatted, I'll ask their wishes and resolutions.
That should help me think of how to spend the year myself.
(Captain), would you mind coming with me?
That's so encouraging. Let's make this year a wonderful one.

Happy New Year, (Captain). How would you rate last year?
Ah, I see. That sounds like quite a significant year for you!
Even as I took care of my duties as the princess, I still found time to get closer with the people. It's been a productive year.
I wonder what this one has in store for us?
Sadness and hardship are simply a part of life. But that said...
The thought of future discussions with you about our memories makes me happy.
That's why I'll do my best to live each day with good cheer and a smile. That's my resolution.
Have you decided what your resolution is yet?

Happy New Year.
Last night, fireworks lit up the skies of Verona, and bands marched throughout the town to celebrate the holiday in a grand fashion.
Hehe. As queen, I'm overjoyed to see the town restored and becoming more and more lively with each passing year.
I wanted to share this happiness with you, (Captain), so I brought something with me today.
These are spare fireworks from our New Year's celebrations, and some firecrackers we didn't end up using.
Why don't we head out to the plaza and enjoy some fireworks together?
It's a little scary? I suppose the firecrackers do make quite a bit of noise...
But it should be fine once you get used to it! Come on, (Captain). Let's try them out together!


Juliet (Water)

(Captain), happy New Year! Teehee.
Oh? I look like I'm bubbling with joy? Well, I suppose I would be after pulling that New Year's fortune slip.
It's something I've avoided doing for far too long.
I didn't want to be reminded of love and have my chest tighten so painfully at the thought of Romeo.
But things have changed. And the slip mentioned I have luck on my side.
Which is no surprise, given that I'm now happily married to the man of my dreams!

Happy New Year. I'm looking forward to spending more time with everyone this year!
I went to get my fortune this year as well, and there were a few words on the slip about childbirth.
According to the fortune, it seems this year is good for a safe delivery, though we haven't thought about having children yet...
I hope that, one day, I can give birth to a boy who looks just like Romeo.
Oh, but I'd also like to see a girl version of Romeo. I'm sure she'd be beautiful!
Huh? You want to see how much the children are going to resemble me?
That's a little embarassing... I wonder if Romeo feels the same too.
Hehe. Being able to talk about the future like this brings me so much joy!

Happy New Year, (Captain).
From what I've heard, it seems there is a custom of giving out New Year's presents in another country.
I thought it was a wonderful idea, so I've decided to do the same. Please, take this!
Hehe. Ah, so you've noticed—the envelope the present is in is made from a fabric used in needlework.
I've sewn on some animals too. Isn't it cute? You can use this as a pouch after!
I put as much positive energy in as I could while making this. May it bring you good luck and protect you.
I hope you like it and can use it for a long time!

Happy New Year, (Captain).
Did you see the first sunrise of the year?
Romeo and I got up early this morning for it, and the golden sun was just so beautiful...
It made me feel like this year will be brimming with hope.
And wouldn't it be nice if it turns out that way not just for us, but for everyone we hold dear?
If we're able to spend the year loving each other, supporting each other, and smiling with all our precious friends? Romeo and I were talking about things like that as we watched the sunrise.
I pray that you find this year filled with hope as well, (Captain).
From my heart, I truly do!


Juri

Happy New Year, (Captain)! Keep up the good work!
My father, Lieutenant Galston, and now you.
If there's anything I can do to be of use to the figures I respect, I will happily push myself to the limit!

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
Can you feel the change in the air? My body is tense with excitement.
I'm going to do everything in my power to help you reach the island of the Astrals!
You can count on me, (Captain)!

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
I'm so glad to witness the rising of a new sun with this crew.
From the trust you've placed in me, to the promises I've made with my fellow crew members...
All of it has made me a better person. I wouldn't trade it for the world.
I will devote myself to the betterment of the crew! Let's have another good year, (Captain)!

(Captain), happy New Year!
Hm... Judging from your clothing, you train during New Year's too?
Choose: Train with me!
Of course! I'd love to!
I wouldn't mind picking up a few pointers from you!
Juri and (Captain) start by warming up.
Phew...
The New Year's breeze is so refreshing. It really heightens the resolve in me.
Well, then (Captain)... Here I come!
Hyaaagh!

Haaaaah!
Huff... This fortune contains our prospects for the new year. It's very important. When you draw, you've got to put your heart into it.
Oh, (Captain)! Look, look! I did it! I really did it! It says I'll have amazing luck!
Er... I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to get so worked up.
If I lose my composure now, who knows what'll happen later on in the year? I have to keep my wits about me!
(Captain), I swear to you... I will continue to train and prove my worth to you yet!
Juri Eckard, of amazing luck, at your service!

Kaguya

Happy New Year, (Captain).
My late parents taught me how to welcome the new year with elegance and politeness.
I would like to teach you as well, (Captain). First, sit down on your knees.
Then, lower your head and with three fingers...
It seems like you're not used to this.
Don't worry. I'll show you the way, and help you become an even better version of yourself...
So that your father will be even more proud of you when you two reunite.


Karteira

Happy New Year!
What's that? My New Year's resolution?
Well you've really put me on the spot, huh?
Ah... There's so many things I could think of, it's hard to pick just one.
Well, maybe I should make you answer instead then.
(Captain), tell me your New Year's resolution!

Heh-heh! Happy New Year, (Captain)!
Now that that's out of the way...
Have a look at this account ledger!
Uh-oh! This doesn't look good, (Captain)...
You've certainly saved up a lot, but you've got quite a lot to go, see...
But this year feels like a good one! You could pay it all back and be free!
If anything, I could help ya out. Get you closer to your goal...
All right! I'm on it! No need to worry because I'll set the interest rates low for ya! Just leave the arrangements to me...
Heh-heh... But I see your debt growin' every day!

Happy New Year! Don't spend all your New Year's allowance in one day!
What? You didn't spend a single rupie? Well, I said don't spend all of it, not don't spend any of it.
Here, here. Have a look at this.
Looks good, huh? They call it "mochi" in the eastern islands.
I took on the task of refining this fine product and making my very own brand of top quality mochi.
I call it... Drum Mochi!
That's right! Named it after this big ol' drum I got on my back.
Eat this and it's prosperity for you! Good business, happy family, great love life, kids do well, all that good stuff! Guaranteed! Oh! I should add on health to the list too.
Heh-heh! Best mochi you'll ever eat! Gives you all sorts of happiness.
So? Think it'll sell good? Might even open a specialty shop for this.
I'll build it on a nice island somewhere. Even if it's small, I could have just a nice little shop. Settle down here... Just... you and me...
Gack! The heck're you makin' me say! Dummy pants! Never mind! Forget everything!

Hehehe... Happy New Year, (Captain)!
Remember that Drum Mochi I sold last year?
They went like hotcakes, just like I figured! Ah, it makes me feel all warm an' fuzzy inside.
And so, back by popular demand, I bring you... Drum Mochi II!
This version is called Lantern Mochi!
One bite will bring you fame, fortune, and professional advancement beyond your wildest dreams!
Hm. You're already top dog on this crew, so I guess it wouldn't do you much good, huh?
Oh, I know! You can be my spokesperson!
If you go around telling folks Lantern Mochi can make you captain of your own crew of skyfarers, you'll sell a million!
Hehehe... C'mon, (Captain)! Time to make some rupies!

Happy New Year, (Captain). Gosh darn—that is one bright sunrise.
What's that? I'm lookin' kinda blue?
Sigh... Hey, ya remember those Lantern Mochis I was selling last year?
Yeah, well, they ain't selling all that hot...
I'm drowning in red ink here, and my wallet's thinner than a flea's hide stretched over a fifty gallon drum.
Sure be nice if you had one of those little envelopes of money for me. Ya know, that some people pass out for New Year's?
With a wry smile, (Captain) hands over just that.
Wait! What, really? Ya aren't tryin' to bribe me or anything, are ya?
Hoo boy! Yer a real winner—ya know that, (Captain)? Think I'm aboutta fall head over heels for ya!
Right! Well, I'm gonna invest this here cash and send that red ink packin'. I'm new, I'm improved, and the me from last year can kiss my butt!

Looks good, huh? They call it "mochi" in the eastern islands.
I took on the task of refining this fine product and making my very own brand of top quality mochi.
I call it... Drum Mochi!
That's right! Named it after this big ol' drum I got on my back.
Eat this and it's prosperity for you! Good business, happy family, great love life, kids do well, all that good stuff! Guaranteed! Oh! I should add on health to the list too.
Heh-heh! Best mochi you'll ever eat! Gives you all sorts of happiness.
So? Think it'll sell good? Might even open a specialty shop for this.
I'll build it on a nice island somewhere. Even if it's small, I could have just a nice little shop. Settle down here... Just... you and me...
Gack! The heck're you makin' me say! Dummy pants! Never mind! Forget everything!

Hehehe... Happy New Year, (Captain)!
Remember that Drum Mochi I sold last year?
They went like hotcakes, just like I figured! Ah, it makes me feel all warm an' fuzzy inside.
And so, back by popular demand, I bring you... Drum Mochi II!
This version is called Lantern Mochi!
One bite will bring you fame, fortune, and professional advancement beyond your wildest dreams!
Hm. You're already top dog on this crew, so I guess it wouldn't do you much good, huh?
Oh, I know! You can be my spokesperson!
If you go around telling folks Lantern Mochi can make you captain of your own crew of skyfarers, you'll sell a million!
Hehehe... C'mon, (Captain)! Time to make some rupies!

Happy New Year, (Captain). Gosh darn—that is one bright sunrise.
What's that? I'm lookin' kinda blue?
Sigh... Hey, ya remember those Lantern Mochis I was selling last year?
Yeah, well, they ain't selling all that hot...
I'm drowning in red ink here, and my wallet's thinner than a flea's hide stretched over a fifty gallon drum.
Sure be nice if you had one of those little envelopes of money for me. Ya know, that some people pass out for New Year's?
With a wry smile, (Captain) hands over just that.
Wait! What, really? Ya aren't tryin' to bribe me or anything, are ya?
Hoo boy! Yer a real winner—ya know that, (Captain)? Think I'm aboutta fall head over heels for ya!
Right! Well, I'm gonna invest this here cash and send that red ink packin'. I'm new, I'm improved, and the me from last year can kiss my butt!

Happy New Year!
Here's to a year full of traps and thrills! Heheheh! That's my resolution!

The countdown ball for New Year's Eve is always exciting to see, don't you think?
It reminds you of a trap, right? Where a giant boulder drops and comes rumbling your way!
Oh boy, I can't wait to explore more! Hey, (Captain), how about we visit some exotic ruins to search for treasure?
Heheheh... I wonder what the first trap of the year will be!

Ahhh... Hmmm... I think it's great when the new year comes because everyone gets so cheery...
But... all this relaxing just isn't for me. Ahhh...
I want thrills... I want dangerous traps...
Huh? The Grandcypher's on course? For some ruins? Some dangerous ruins where they have heaps of traps?
Thank you, (Captain)! I knew joining this crew was the right idea!

Hee-hee... Ah, (Captain)! I just got word of some ancient ruins, waitin' to be explored!
A new adventure awaits us for the new year!
You'll get to experience new thrills! Not to mention you'll get a New Year's present! Two birds with one stone, right?
What New Year's present, you ask?
Ahaha! Why, there's always thrill and treasure to be found in ancient ruins, silly!
So nick anything you can find and that'll be like your very own New Year's present!
So let's go, (Captain)! No time to waste!
Whoo-whee! How exciting! I wonder what kind of treasures await us this time?

Ugh... I need more thrill... More thrill in my life...
You know, I've been thinking hard about this... How does a girl seek out thrill when all everyone wants to do around New Year's is relax?
Couldn't come up with anything good though. Found some ways to surprise people, but nothing was actually thrilling.
What're we supposed to do, (Captain)... It's gotta be a life-or-death situation. Otherwise, it's just boring.
What? Someone asked you to check out some old ruins on New Year's? And you're gonna take on the mission?
Well, why didn't you say so earlier? I feel a whole lot better now.
Thank you, (Captain)! Here, have some mochi!
You don't needa worry! I fixed up that mochi so that even if you were to make it explode, all you'd get is a nice roasted flavor.
All right, I'm gonna get ready for some ruins raiding! Lemme at 'em!

Captain, it's time to ring in the new year!
Let's go and get started on our first training session!

Happy New Year. It looks like we've safely made it to the beginning of another year.
But I guess we did run into a little trouble along the way!
Hehe. Our travels have been filled with all kinds of ups and downs. I apologize for the trouble.
That said, through it all, we learned that there's nothing we can't overcome if we work together.
At least that's what I think. I look forward to another year with you, (Captain).

We sure have been through some tough times. I'm thankful we're able to reset and reflect on days like today.
It's just a momentary break, but it's a welcome one nonetheless.
Haha. Yes, I'm well aware we don't have time to waste on lounging around, but constantly barreling ahead at full steam is bad for the body.
You always worry me, (Captain), with the dangerous things you get into.
Should I call it bravery—maybe recklessness?
Then perhaps... (Captain), would you care to learn a few techniques? Knowing you're out there fighting with knowledge would—
Haha. Sorry. I was just telling you to take it easy, but here I am also telling you to go as hard as you can.
Seems I need to take this resting business seriously myself.

Sorry, (Captain)... I got lost on the way here and wasn't able to make it in time for sunrise...
The sun's already high and shining.
Hmm? The sunrise is also pretty looking from the mountain path I took to get up here?
Heh, thanks for your reassurance. You're always so kind to me, (Captain).
But I mustn't be spoiled by that kindness.
I'll take this failure to heart and improve myself with a year's worth of activities.
Now then, I guess I should start by leading us down the mountain path.

I can't think of many sights more spectacular than the year's first sunrise at the top of a mountain.
Doesn't seeing it make you feel like you've somehow entered the new year earlier than everyone else?
Hehe, I feel lucky to have seen it, and the lack of insects due to the cold weather certainly makes the experience better.
You know, thanks to you, I feel like this year is going to be another special one.
But enough of that. It's about time for us to return. You should watch your feet on the way down.
Oops, I almost forgot. Happy New Year. I look forward to spending it with you.

Katzelia

Phew...
Ah, (Captain). I didn't know you were out here. The party's still in full swing.
No, I'm not tired. If anything I've never felt more at ease.
To welcome in the new year in such peace while in exile...
I attribute that all to you, (Captain). Words can't express my gratitude.
But to always be protected would be a disgrace for the fifth imperial heir of Galgenia.
You may call upon me to lend a hand whenever the need arises.
Let us have a year of good fortunes.

(Captain), happy New Year.
What wonderful weather we have today. Perfect for a performance!
With your permission last year, I invited musicians in the crew to get together and practice regularly for today...
And the time has come to show you what a musical tour de force this crew is capable of!
Well then, let us begin! Hark as the joyous melody echoes across the skies!

(Captain), happy New Year. I cannot wait to see what we accomplish this year.
Speaking of which... It is about time for me to begin.
Oh, you haven't heard?
To celebrate the new year, I'm seeing how long of a concert I can hold! It shall be many hours of entertainment!
Hahaha, you're so pleasantly surprised, you're at a loss for words!
Haase, too, was moved to the point of tears when I told her of this plan.
Hm... Since I have just had breakfast, I will aim to finish performing around dinner.
Now please, sit down and listen to the music!

(Captain), happy New Year!
May this one treat you well. Now, are you ready for our performance today?
Hm? Why the furrowed brows?
Hahaha! Are your nerves getting the better of you? I suppose you are supposed to be performing a solo today!
There's no need to be so nervous. Remember, music is about enjoying yourself.
Although... There are quite a few crew members who've been looking forward to hearing you sing...
It's become the talk of the ship, actually...
They might be disappointed if your performance were to fall flat...
Oh! Um, never mind me! I was simply muttering to myself!
Enjoy yourself, and be confident in your abilities! Now relax!

How could this be...
Hm? Ah, (Captain)... Happy New Year. I'm looking forward to another year with you...
Me? It's nothing... No, I'm not feeling unwell.
Heh... You can laugh all you want. To think that I, Katzelia Alois Gangnus, would oversleep on New Year's Day...
Nothing like this has ever happened before... I haven't even seen Haase for the first time this year yet.
It seems I've grown rather accustomed to the lifestyle of this crew. It's comfortable here...
Rrg... Though I did say you could laugh, I didn't expect you to laugh this much.
Good grief... I can't seem to keep my composure as the imperial heir when it comes to you.
Now, it's about time I went to pay my respects to Haase for the new year. Would you like to come with me?


Keehar

Happy New Year, (Captain).
Today is a continuation of yesterday, tomorrow is a continuation of today, and New Year's Day is a continuation of new Year's Eve.
The present is built by the past and is in turn the reason for the future.
But if we forget the little events that shape our lives, we end up growing more and more listless...
So I think it would be fun to spend New Year's Day thinking about starting a brand new adventure!
Life is a lot longer than the young think! So you better find a way to keep yourself entertained! Ha-ha!

Happy New Year, (Captain)! I wonder what adventures wait in store for us!
There might be worry and there might be failure, but there will also be happiness and fun.
I bet this year will have wonderful things waiting just for you, (Captain).
This old man is glad to be of service. Dahahaha!

Rise and shine, (Captain)! It's the start of a fresh new year—and that means the start of a fresh new you!
Listen closely... Time is a fleeting mistress, but we can give meaning to the passage of days with occasions like this.
And that way we can face the start of a new year with a fresh new outlook!
Whoever first established these traditions in the past surely felt the same.
For me, there'd be no greater honor than to leave my mark on this world for future generations... just as they did.
Well... More importantly, I should enjoy my life for the years to come.
So there you have it, (Captain). Wherever the skies take us this year, let's face it together with a refreshed body and mind!

Well, if it isn't (Captain)! Thank you for visiting us here at Raduga so early in the new year.
They say the first person who walks through your door on the first day of the year will symbolize the year ahead.
If it's true, how fortunate my year will be!
Hm? You're not sure what you're supposed to symbolize?
Haha! I suppose it is hard for us to recognize our own value! Allow an old man to tell you what you mean to him.
You're brimming with bravery and kindness, and you're blessed with companions of every sort. Few at your age would go on such a grand adventure.
Thus you symbolize friendship, adventure, and the raw potential of a new year. At least that's the way I see it.
Gahaha! Now that I think about it, you're even more splendid than I thought! Here's to the year ahead, (Captain)! Cheers!

The balmy breezes of spring make the heart dance, the bright sunlight of summer makes the spirit soar, and the cool winds of autumn refresh the mind.
Each season has its charms. And the crisp air of winter fills one with a sense of purpose.
That may be why New Year's day falls smack in the middle of the season.
In the invigorating cold, we may reaffirm our goals and find new energy. Then we are ready to step wide-eyed into spring and on through the rest of the year.
Now, I'm at an age where it's difficult to recall each and every New Year's I've celebrated...
But no matter how many years I live through, I can say that each is as exciting as the last. And this is in no small part thanks to you and all the rest of my dear friends!
I'd like very much to continue this journey with you, sharing in both your triumphs and frustrations. I would, however, rather you find more joy than sorrow.
That being said, allow me to wish you a very sincere happy New Year.


Kolulu

...!
(Captain)... What do you call this reddish-brown soup with mochi in it?
Golly... So it's called sweet red-bean soup.
This is my first time tasting such a rare and delicious treat.
There's a variety of food in this world I haven't encountered yet.
Hm... I think I have my New Year's resolution, (Captain)!
Um, why are you smiling like that?
Ack! You're absolutely correct. I should've known you'd be able to read me like a book.
Then let's be off! A boundless buffet awaits!

I humbly offer my gratitude for everything you did for me last year.
No, you should not be humble yourself! You truly did a great deal.
There was once a time when I spent days going hungry, hours collapsed on the ground from exhaustion...
But since joining your crew, I've never had a single fainting spell!
I owe you everything, (Captain). My heart is filled with gratitude!
Oh, golly... Do you smell that? It's coming from the kitchen.
Yeep! Preparations for the New Year's feast must have begun already!
Ooh... Anyway, allow me to end with a preemptive thanks for the year ahead, (Captain)! Bye!

(Captain)... About this, er, New Year's fortune...
No, no. I'm not at all upset about how this year is prognosticated to be full of bad luck.
Look at the section on "wishes." It says all my dreams are certain to come true!
Can I trust this? Will my dreams really come true?
Hm? What I wish for? Well...
I want to drown in an ocean of stew!
(Captain)! Why in the world are you laughing fit to burst?

Oh dear. Are you telling me that there's meaning not only behind the number of tiers a New Year's lunch box has, but also behind every food item?
And I've been scarfing everything up like a pig, completely blind to this wonderful tradition I'm taking part in?
That is an affront against all New Year's lunch boxes! I... I have no right to so much as nibble at a bean anymore...
But you, (Captain)... You're so wise. Every day, you open my eyes to some new truth about the world!
No! Now that I'm aware of how meaningful these lunch boxes are... they look all the more beautiful... and delicious.
Whaaat? No, I couldn't!
Are you quite sure? But I was so boorish! How could I possibly lay even a single chopstick into this glorious spread?
Thank you for your kind words. I shall savor them... alongside this delicious meal!

Yawn… My goodness everyone, how are you all able to rise at such an early hour?
What! None of you have slept since yesterday! My goodness, such an impressive amount of stamina needed to endure the long night...
Even if I tried my best to awaken, I would've certainly found myself sleeping well past the alarm.
Oh! (Captain), the sun is rising from the east!
Wooow... This is the first sunrise of the new year... What a stunning scene.
Nothing refreshes one more than watching the sunrise! Golly, I feel like I'm ready to face anything in the new year now.
(Captain), thank you for inviting me to watch the first sunrise. My gratitude toward you knows no bounds!

Korwa

Happy New Year, Captain! The curtain rises on a brand new story!
Look at the people walking outside. They look like they're ready to start a new chapter in life too.
Me? I'm going to keep making more and more dresses, of course.
I don't want to get rusty, you know. Someday, I'm going to make the wedding dress that I've always been dreaming of.

Happy New Year, (Captain). Have you decided on a New Year's resolution yet?
Hm, me? Mine is to continue designing clothes that satisfy my customers.
And I don't just mean when they first pick up clothes either.
I want them to look back when the clothing's all worn out and think, "Oh, man, those were the days..."
The memories you create with each piece of clothing become a part of you.
There is no happier ending for clothing than when the customer looks back on precious memories and fondly remembers what they wore at the time.

My first dream of the year was a nostalgic one. It was a dream of a wedding ceremony I attended as a child.
I may have mentioned this before, but my mind was set on becoming a fashion designer when I first laid eyes on a beautiful, happily-wedded bride.
But why would I suddenly be seeing this in a dream now? I wonder if it's a sign... or perhaps a reflection of my heart.
Yes, it's probably a reminder for me to go back to the basics.
I guess you could also interpret it to mean not to dwell too much on the past as I move forward.
Hehe, in the end it's all a matter of perspective. Either way my motivation's way up after having that dream!
My resolution this year is to utilize my skills as a fashionista to carve out more happy endings in the world—even if it's just one more!
By the way, (Captain), what was your first dream of the year? Tell me all about it!

Happy New Year, (Captain). Have you already been to the shrine for the new year?
I was just about to go myself. Wanna come with?
Hehe. I'm glad I said something! Well, let's go!
Huh? What's this sketchbook I have?
It's the new year, so we might bump into people who've decided to put their best fashion foot forward as a resolution.
It's an inspirational time, and fashion is born from inspiration. You can check out all sorts of new clothes and styles.
This sketchbook is to capture any ideas that come bubbling up. Wouldn't wanna lose 'em, hm?
Hehe.
