Hidamari Sketch (ひだまりスケッチ)

Freezing...

The constellation with the greatest fortune today is Aquarius; they can have a great leap forward from all the effort they put in before.

Even Pisceses, who are stubborn, will have to face the fact that their parents will not grant what they asked for today.

It's been a while since I watched this, since I don't wake up this early at home.

For Arieses, even though today seems to be the day their wishes will come true, it's still not going to happen.

But every time I watched this I missed my constellation.

Today's a day of hopeless love for Tauruses, so be careful not to overexert yourself.

I guess, today, I'll also...

Cancers need to be careful today...

...will fail repeatly, so calm down and take a deep breath.

Ah! I missed it again!

Well then, everyone, have a nice day.

Good morning!

Miya-chan, good morning! It's cold outside, so come in!

Okay, thanks.

Oh! A snow mark.

Maybe it'll snow today!

Really?

Up next...

Wow. This new cell phone looks so cool.

Miya-chan, are you going to buy a cell phone?

Nah. But if someone's going to give me one, I'll take it.

In this whole wide world, there's bound to be someone who will buy me anything.

Miya-chan, let's go already.

Ah! Yuno-chi, wait!

It's freezing!

When we wrote this, there were a lot of cicadas, right?

You know, when we wrote it in your room with everyone.

Hehe, I remember. It was so much fun!

Good morning.

Ah!

Hiro-san! Good morning!

Good morning.

Sae-san! Good morning!

For a new year, everyone, Happy New Year!

Miya-chan, that's the tenth time we've heard that already.

You also said that when we paid our first visit of the year to the shrine yesterday.

The shrine was pretty much empty, so we could really take our time.

Everyone was in their normal clothes, yet Yoshinoya-sensei wore a kimono.

Yeah, as expected from the cosplay queen.

But sensei's draw was "Misfortune", not to mention that she tried to seal it.

But Yuno-chi's draw was "Great fortune".

Even so, you shouldn't be careless, since good things are always followed by bad things.

Huh?

Oh shoot!

Hurry!

Well then, see you at lunchtime.

Okay!

Oh yeah, there's a room change for the upcoming class.

Is that right?

I didn't hear about that.

By the way, Yuno-chi, how's your assignment?

"Assignment"?

Everyone, good morning. Did you all enjoy your winter recess?

I really enjoyed my winter recess.

I talked to friends over long phone calls.

I went to sing karaoke a lot.

On New Year, I wore a beautiful kimono and paid the first visit of the year to the shrine.

I ran away from the children who kept asking for New Year's money...

...because it isn't strange, since I'm still not in the position to give it out... How rude of them, don't you agree?

Don't you agree, everyone?!

From today on, let's do our best again.

What should I do about my assignment...?

What's wrong? It's rare to see you down like this.

Argh! Why did I forget about it?! Even if I start now, I won't be able to hand it in!

It'll be all right if you hand it in later. Besides, your draw was "Great fortune", wasn't it?

Okay.

Well then, class will begin!

What should I do...?

All right, we'll stop here for today.

Y-Yoshinoya-sensei!

Huh?

Oh, Yuno-san, what's the matter?

I'm sorry! Um... My assignment isn't ready.

I'll be able to hand it in during the first class of practical drawing, so will you take it by then?

Oh my...

Too bad!

Could this be what they mean by "Good things are always followed by bad things"?

It's finally lunch break! Yuno-chi, let's go to lunch!

Yeah...

I'll go get something I forgot to bring, so go on ahead to the cafeteria without me!

Eh...? Yuno-chi...?

Ah! There's not much time left!

But it might be a bit plain with just these.

Sensei, when did you...?

"Happy New Year. This year, best regards."

"Do your best! - from 'me'".

How cute!

Ah! This might be usable!

There!

I wonder if I'll have enough time to copy this over.

Ah! There are only two more minutes left!

Yuno-chi! Keep it up!

Hurray! Hurray! Yuno-chi!

Miya-chan...

You're almost to the goal over there!

This is so embarrassing.

Snow...

Well then, homeroom is over. There is a lot of snow piling up outside, so everyone, please head home carefully.

Sensei!

Yes?

I'm sorry for being late! This is my assignment!

All right. I've received it.

Was that your assignment just now? You made it just in time!

Yeah. I headed back to my room and made it in a hurry.

During lunch break?!

Yeah.

I'm so hungry!

Here, your reward.

Eh?

Wow! What's this?

A leftover from Hiro-san's sitting diet.

Eh?

Actually, she was just worried about you since you didn't come back, so she took one of her own rice balls and saved it for you.

I see.

We're on cleaning duty, so hurry up and eat it.

Yeah!

Let's hurry up and finish this so we can have a snow fight!

Yeah!

Amazing! It's already this thick!

There aren't any footprints! All this snow is for me to play with!

Yuno-san.

Oh! Hiro-san! Sae-san!

Yo!

I heard that you were on cleaning duty, so I thought that you'd be here. Need any help?

Nope, everyone. Sorry, but leave all this up to me!

Miya-chan! What are you doing?

Art activity!

Oh! Looking good.

Huh? What?

Well then, Yuno-san, see you later.

Miya-chan, I forgot to thank her for what happened before!

Wait. Don't come here yet.

Done!

The first creative activity of this year, completed!

"Love & Piece"; as expected from Miyako.

Huh? P-i-e-c-e?

"Piece"?

Maybe they haven't come back yet.

Maybe they are so into playing with the snow that they forgot.

It's nice for them to get along so well.

Back when we were little, we were so happy that snow fell.

Unconditionally, and we didn't care much about studying either.

How were you back then?

Just like Yuno and Miyako. Making snowmen, having snow fights, playing with snow like that.

Oh~? I didn't expect that you were normal.

Saying that is like saying I'm a weirdo.

That's not it. It's just that I thought you were already cool like now when you were a child.

Oh... uh... Am I that cool? W-What about you?

I like snow, but I don't like getting myself wet.

You know, it looks like I went through an explosion when I untie my hair.

But you did play with the snow, right?

Winter is about relaxing at the heating table, which I like. You're like that too now, aren't you?

I guess. Maybe it's because we got older.

Ah. Hot tea is delicious.

I'll go and thank Hiro-san for the rice ball.

Then I'll go as well.

You're just expecting something in return for going there.
