Souma: …Hm. I see, so you came to summon me, Anzu-dono.
Forgive me. It pains me to cause worry to my seniors of the marine life club.
You see, as a reward for always helping with the student council work, I have been given the right to take care of this fountain as if it were one of our tanks.
Hasumi-dono always gives out such appropriate rewards…♪
With that power, I plan to run warm water through this fountain so our honored club leader can “puka puka” any time he wishes.
Well, right now it just an idea. It will be some time before it is implemented.
This cold season will continue on for a while before spring. I feel sorry for our leader, who cannot play in the fountain in the meantime.
It may be impertinent, but I want to answer to the kindness he has shown me.
But even if there is an attempt at reconstruction, there is no way to touch the fountain while it is frozen over…
So, I have been trying my best to break the ice with my beloved blade.
It took more effort than expected…
Perhaps I should have prepared a “shovel” for this task. Well, it is too late to speak of that now.
Fufu. Behold, Anzu-dono. I have been saving seafood in this frozen fountain, so I took the opportunity to take it out.
It might have been used by someone else if I put it in the freezer in the school’s kitchen, so I put it here just in case.
The fountain is the club leader’s domain, so I supposed no one would lay a hand on it.
Oh, my… this is not the time to be chatting. I must carry this seafood to the kitchen and prepare it while it’s still fresh.
If left out in the open, it will spoil and become useless.
Now, please excuse me, Anzu-dono. I must go make this into sashimi now.
Mm? You will help me? Oh, thank you!
With your assistance, we have the power of a hundred men! I admit I got a bit excited with the ingredients, so I would not have been able to prepare them all myself…♪
Let us go, Anzu-dono! To the battlefield of the kitchen, let us mount an attack with the force of the 47 ronin!
(ten minutes later)
[Background: Marine life clubroom]
Souma: Club leader~♪ May you have a happy New Year! Souma Kanzaki, together with Anzu-dono, has come bearing this new years’ cuisine as a gift to you!
Kaoru: Ahh, Souma-kun, happy New Year~ Sorry, but could you be quiet? Kanata-kun fell asleep.
Kanata: Zzz, zzz…♪
Souma: Mm? Is you resting, leader?
But aside from that, you lecher… Why are you sitting shoulder-to-shoulder with the club leader?
You look like a pair who has met disaster upon a wintry mountain. What is your intention?
Depending on your answer, I may chop you up and add you to the osechi.
Kaoru: If I could, I’d like to be eating the osechi, not being eaten.
You probably know this, but Kanata-kun’s not too good with cold… but because I was hogging his blanket, he started shivering, see.
I hurriedly turned on the heating, but he really looked like he was suffering, so I decided to share body heat too.
And then, geez, Kanata-kun fell asleep hugging me like this.
I might wake him up if I move, and I’d feel bad about that, you know?
So I guess for now we’re sharing the blanket together.
Come here too if you like, Anzu-chan~ Let’s warm up together♪ Souma-kun can stay over there, though.
Souma: I would never embrace you even if you asked.
…Well, it was done for the sake of the club leader, so I have no reason to complain.
However, this could be a problem. I have prepared fresh sashimi for him, but he is sleeping.
Kanata: Mm, mnn~… It’s alright, Souma. I was only dozing off for a moment. I’ll wake up.
Today is our fun New Year’s party, after all. It would be a waste to sleep through it~…
Yaaawn. I am still quite sleepy, though.
Souma: Fufu. Even if half-asleep, you should put something in your stomach. If you eat, your body temperature will also increase, leader.
Kanata: Okay. Kaoru-kun, Anzu-san, please sit wherever you like.
Let us partake of this osechi together~ And pray for our happiness in the new year~♪
Kaoru: Ahaha. It’s already feeling pretty happy in here…♪
Let’s eat~♪ Ohh, this kuromame has so much flavor!
Souma: Of course. Eat, eat the kuromame, and may you approach this year’s work with diligence.
Kaoru: Ah, is that what this one was supposed to mean?
Then I’m good. I’ll give this to Anzu-chan… say “ah”~♪
Let’s eat something else. Is there one that means you can be happy just sitting around for the year?
Souma: Shoo, it is impolite to hover your chopsticks back and forth if you cannot choose!
Kanata: There, there… this feast is supposed to be fun, so let’s take it easy.
Ah♪ May I have this big shrimpy?
Souma: Of course. We shall offer the greatest treat to our club leader.
Kaoru: Ah, no fair. Then I’ll take this mackerel sashimi, because I want my year to be happy. [1]
Souma: Our seniors have quite the appetite… I am honored that they think it delicious, but…
If we do not put in our chopsticks as well, we will miss the whole meal, Anzu-dono.
Kanata: Munch munch, munch munch… It’s tasty~♪
Ehehe, it really is “happy” in here, isn’t it…
May you have a Happy New Year, Anzu-san.♪

[1] Every dish in osechi has a special meaning. In order of appearance:
1) Kuromame (black beans) are a pun on mamemameshii ("hard-working, diligent").
2) Shrimp carries a meaning of longevity and is a must-have in osechi, so while the CG shows Kanata eating a lobster, he might be calling it a shrimpy on purpose.
3) Mackerel carries the meaning of fortune, and eating it will bring an auspicious year.
