Intro
~It's New Year's, and as usual, these guys have come to visit. It's not just New Year's; they drop by quite often, but for major events like New Year's or Christmas, they show up without fail.
Man, Japan, your place is as clean as ever! We're crashing here again this year! He says, already snuggling into the kotatsu.
I see... Since you all visit every year, the house is lively from the very start of the new year... Kiku says, sipping his tea.
Suddenly Oh, that reminds me, Kiku! Do you have anything interesting to show us? I thought about bringing board games and stuff, but England rejected all of them...
Of course I did! Bringing that much luggage would be a nuisance!
