Auld Lang Syne 2017 - Year's End - Night Owl
With her duties resolved, Mahira takes it easy under the kotatsu.
Night fast approaches with an exhausted Lunalu already sound asleep and Melissabelle still in the dining hall.
Mahira: Hm? This calculation gives me the same result every time...
Mahira: That can only mean Joya's destination is... No, that can't be...
Mahira: Could it truly travel beyond the skies?
Sierokarte: Yoo-hoo, Mahira. You're up next.
Sahli Lao: Here's the dice. Roll a three or above, and you'll land on payday!
Mahira: Ah, right. I forgot we were in the midst of this board game about life.
Sahli Lao: Heh-heh. You're so close to taking the lead, Mahira. Do your best!
Milleore: Let's not forget luck is the name of the game when it comes to dice, Lao.
Sahli Lao: No one's arguing that, Milly. But a game is still a test of wits, so let's just try and have some fun here.
Milleore: A test of wits, eh...
Milleore: Fair enough. I've never played a board game, but I'm here for Mahira, so count me in on the fun.
Mahira: Milly, Lao... Thank you.
Milleore not in crew
Milleore is a top-class archer who served in the military as an agent back in her hometown.
Although she usually seems rather cold, she is deeply compassionate at heart—a trait that led her to join the crew.
Sahli Lao is a crew member
Sahli Lao: We're the ones who should be saying thanks. You help us with bow maintenance, after all.
Sahli Lao not in crew
Sahli Lao once served together with Milleore in the army. Nowadays she spends her time polishing her martial prowess.
In her quest to better herself, she came to know the crew and was reunited with Milleore.
Sahli Lao: We're the ones who should be saying thanks. You help us with bow maintenance after all.

Milleore: Imagine my surprise when I heard you even made your own heating device. Melissa was telling me all about it in the dining hall.
Sierokarte: You two coming by and suddenly immigrating to Kotatsu Land was quite the surprise too!
Mahira: Ahaha. Turns out your board game was perfect for kotatsu play, Sierokarte.
Mahira: Onward with the game. Let's roll the dice!
Sierokarte: Hm, hm, what'll it be...
Sierokarte: Whoo, your salary just tripled with this special bonus!
Sahli Lao: Wow! The luck just never runs out for a Divine General!
Mahira: Ahaha. Trust me when I say that I don't get extra luck for being a year spirit.
Mahira: Okay, Milleore. Your turn.
Milleore: Thanks.
Milleore: ...
Milleore: L-let's roll the dice...
Milleore: A four, huh... "Silver sword purchased. Pay ten thousand rupies."
Sierokarte: Oh, what a shame. I'm sure it'll come in handy for the monster tiles though!
Milleore: I'm an archer. I'm not going to buy a sword.
Sahli Lao: Sorry, but rules are rules. So you'll have to follow the instructions for this tile.
Milleore: ...
Milleore: Whatever. So I should just put the toy rupies back into the bank box?
Sierokarte: Mm-hm. Boy, this game sure is heating up. It's your turn, Lao!
Sahli Lao: Okay, let's roll the dice!
Mahira: A casino tile? If you manage to roll an even number...
Sierokarte: You'll get ten times your savings!
And the dice landed on...
And the dice landed on...
Sahli Lao: A two!
Sahli Lao: An even number! Woo-hoo-hoo, that brought me all the way up to number one!
Mahira: Congratulations, Lao. You're loaded with rupies now.
Sierokarte: Hip, hip, hooray! Let's see if you can make it all the way to the goal like this.
Sahli Lao: Are you seeing this, Milly? I've got enough rupies to fill up this kotatsu and more!
Milleore: Mm...
Sahli Lao: M-Milly?
Milleore: Your turn, Siero. The match isn't over just yet.
Sahli Lao: Ah, right. Of course!
(Good, Milly's getting into it too!)
(Good, Milly's getting into it too!)
Mahira: Good going, Lao! You built up ten castles in total.
Sierokarte: I've never seen anything like it! This might be a new record for all the skies!
Sahli Lao: Really? Now you're making me blush!
Milleore: ...
Sahli Lao: You okay, Milleore? You look like you're trying to choke the dice out.
Milleore: Quiet... I need to focus with every nerve in my body.
Sahli Lao: You're going all in...
Milleore: Dice roll now!
Mahira: Huh? "Primal beast defeated. One million rupies acquired"?
Milleore: Heheh... Game's not over yet, Lao.
Sierokarte: Ahem, I hate to break it to you... But I believe it's my turn after Lao...
Milleore: ...!
Milleore: Oh, right. What do the rules dictate for such a case?
Mahira: Hrm... A penalty of ten thousand rupies, it says.
Milleore: Another ten thousand?
Sahli Lao: Well...
Sahli Lao: Is it really that big of a deal?
Sahli Lao: Can't we just forget about the penalty? Not like it's all that important of a rule anyway...
Milleore: No, I'll pay. We've gotta do this fair and square.
Milleore: Fourth place, huh... If I can just find a plot of empty land, I'll be able to make my comeback...
Sahli Lao: Rgh...
(We've created a monster!)
(We've created a monster!)
Milleore: "Players on blue tiles get ten thousand rupies pilfered by bandits"...
Milleore: ...
Sahli Lao: Yikes! Hey, none of this is my—
Sierokarte: Seems pretty clear who the winner's going to be. Are you gonna keep playing?
Sahli Lao: Well, considering that the date's about to change soon...
Sahli Lao: Why don't we go to the dining hall? The crew members on kitchen duty prepared soba for—
Milleore: Hold on, Lao. This game's not over yet.
Sahli Lao: ...!
Sierokarte: Hmm?
Milleore: I'm an agent first and foremost. Retreating when I've still got a fighting chance is out of the question.
Sahli Lao: A fighting chance? Don't you see how close the rest of us are to the finish line?
Milleore: You see this tile right here?
Milleore: "Rainbow Treasure." If I can roll three ones in a row...
Milleore: I'll get a hundred times the rupies I have now!
Sierokarte: That tile would certainly turn the tables...
Sahli Lao: But a hundred times doesn't...
(Your savings dropped to zero just now!)
(Your savings dropped to zero just now!)
Milleore: Worried? Let's ask Mahira then. If she doesn't tell us to stop—
Mahira: Zzz...
Milleore: M-Mahira?
Sierokarte: Ah, looks like she fell asleep a while ago.
Sahli Lao: That's too bad! Can we call it quits already?
Milleore: ...!
Mahira, wake up!
Mahira, wake up!
Mahira: Cluck?
Milleore: Weren't you gonna stay up tonight? At least until the date changes? I've taken it upon myself to make sure you accomplish that goal.
Milleore: So wake up already! This game has to go on!
Mahira: Mmn... Cluck, cluck...
Sahli Lao: No, just leave her be! You'll just end up getting hurt if we keep going!
Milleore: What's that supposed to mean? If I have even the smallest chance of winning, then I'm gonna take it.
Sahli Lao: Milly! You have zero rupies! And zero multiplied by anything is zero!
Mahira: Ah... Milly? Lao?
Sierokarte: Good morning there. All awake now?
Mahira: Sierokarte... Sorry for dozing off... I need to stay awake until the date changes...
Mahira: Hrgh...
Mahira: With so many of you helping me out, I can't afford to be going to roost so early!
Mahira: Cock-a-doodle-dum. Wing-a-doodle-fly! Sleepiness, begone!
Auld Lang Syne 2017 - Year's End - Night Owl: Scene 2
Mahira: I did it... I got the better of those z's...
Mahira: Thanks to everyone's—
Mahira: Zzz...
Sierokarte: She sure fell asleep fast... Looks like she's already in dreamland.
Milleore: We probably shouldn't push her any harder to stay up. She might be one of the Twelve Divine Generals, but she's still just a kid.
Sahli Lao: Good point. I'll put away the dice and board!
Despite her brief awakening, Mahira fell fast asleep when the date changed...
The Citizens of the Kotatsu put an end to their game and welcome in the new year.
Lunalu: Ouch, cricked my neck...
Happy New—
Happy New—
Melissabelle: I brought us some soba along with some Maize Ablaze.
Sierokarte: Happy New Year! Ah, fried corn, is it?
Sahli Lao: That smells wonderful... Thank you!
Milleore: All right, I'm gonna move over to your side, Mahira.
Mahira: Zzz... Cluck...
Milleore: Rgh! Wh-what are you—
Sierokarte: Tee-hee-hee... She's using your lap as a pillow.
Sahli Lao: Ha-ha! That is quite the heartwarming scene, Milly!
Melissabelle: That looks so warm and comfortable... Can I sit over there too, Milly?
Milleore: Three of us practically on top of each other under the kotatsu? What are you even thinking?
Melissabelle: Here I come.
Milleore: Ngh! M-Melissa!
Lunalu: Oooh...
Mahira: Zzz... Zzz... Happy New Year, everyone.
Although Mahira was half-asleep much of the time, one could argue that she did manage to accomplish her goal.
The sun rises in the world of the skies again, welcoming in the new year.
???: ...
???: The new year's here, but something doesn't feel right.
???: Could it be a coincidence? Am I simply overthinking it? Can't forget what happened with the Joya though...
???: Hm?
???: Rgh, what a mess! But I'll sort it out soon enough!
???: Let's go, Gar!
