The day after Christmas

"Hey, Pitou-chan, I know this is short notice, but do you wanna go to Jappon for New Year's? I got a call from the last client we had when Youpi and I were on the job, says she's willing to pay for all our food expenses during our time there!" I announce gleefully.

"New Year's?" Pitou inquires groggily while napping on the couch.

"Yeah. Wait... Did... did nobody tell you about New Year's?"

"No. What is it?" she asks, disinterested.

"Well, it's basically just a holiday to celebrate the start of a new year, kinda like the name suggests."

"...That seems kinda pointless. Why would you celebrate time passing?"

I shrug, admitting "I dunno, but I'm not gonna question it, I'll take any excuse to get free food from Jappon."

Pitou slowly blinks at me, one eye after the other, eventually saying "Hrmmmm... I'll think about it, Allie. Go see if the others want to go while I decide." before shutting her eyes and dozing off.

I snicker to myself before heading off, thinking She's not taking the sugar crash from yesterday very well. I should feel bad, and I do... buuuuuut it's still funny~

With that thought quickly leaving my mind, I head over to Youpi's room, opening the door to find him practicing basic nen flow control. He soon turns around to face me and asks "Need something?" while still focusing on his aura.

"Yeah. Remember our last client?" I ask him.

He goes silent, looking upwards as he tries to remember.

"The red-haired one..."

"Oh, you mean that lady with the glasses who put us through a bunch of weird tests?"

I nod.

"What about her? Is she finally gonna pay us?"

"She wants to invite everyone here to Jappon on New Year's. She'll pay for all our food expenses during our time there." I inform him.

He turns back around, going silent again while he thinks. After about thirty seconds, he turns back around and says "I dunno, that woman was weird, and she kept using a bunch of unfamiliar words when she did her little tests on us."

"Okay fair, fair. BUT... you like sushi, right?"

Youpi nods.

"Well, Jappon is the place where sushi originated. There will be many different kinds for you to try if we go~" I tell him, trying to entice him to the idea.

Youpi goes quiet once more, back to contemplating. During this time, Pitou pops her head into the room.

Noticing her, I turn around and smile. "Awake already?" I ask.
