Nico: Hmm hmm hmm ♪  Nico: Just straighten out the kimono... and.. perfect!
Nico: The Yazawa family Hina dolls sure are cute and lovely. Cocoro: .................... Cocoa: .................... Nico: Cocoro, Cocoa, do you want to say something. Cocoro: No... Nothing. Right, Cocoa? Cocoa: Well... Cocoro: Cocoa... Cocoa: I've been thinking for a while... Our dolls are a bit... Cocoro: Hey, Cocoa! Cocoa: Ah, that's right. Ne-Never mind. Nico: Hey! If you have something to say, spit it out! I can't know what it is if you don't say anything. Cotaro: The dolls are tiny. Nico: Co-Cotaro! Cocoro: Hey! You can't say that! Cotaro: Huh? Cocoa: That's right, Cotaro. Our dolls might be a bit small, but the big ones are really expensive. Cocoro: Right. If you want big Hina dolls, you're gonna have to contribute to the household finances. Nico: Err... Cocoro: Sorry, sis. Nico: It's OK. He's right that our dolls aren't that big. Cocoa: Nico... Nico: But if you think about it properly, we have the cutest dolls in this house, right? Cotaro: Huh? Cocoro: You don't mean these dolls, do you? Nico: Think about it properly, would you? Cocoa: I can't think of any other dolls in this house. Nico: Cocoro! Cocoro: Yes? Nico: Cocoa! Cocoa: What? Nico: You really don't get it, do you? Nico: You are our super-cute dolls! Cocoro: Us? Cotaro: Dolls? Nico: Even if you searched the whole world, you would never find a couple of dolls as cute as you. You should be proud of yourselves. Cocoro: Sorry I made a mistake, sis. Cocoa: So, that makes you a doll as well, right, Nico? Nico: Of course! We are the cutest! Cocoa: Hehe! I didn't realize we are dolls. Cotaro: Dolls are cute! Cocoa: Since we are dolls, it doesn't matter that the display dolls are so small. Cocoro: Yeah! Nico calling us dolls makes me blush. Cocoa: I've got an idea. Why don't we dress up in some of Nico's dresses. Cocoa: That's alright, isn't it, sis? We'll just play at being Hina dolls in our room. Nico: Sure! You two will make adorable Hina dolls. Cocoa: Yeah! Come on, Cocoro. Let's go! Cocoro: OK! Thanks, sis! You can come too, Cotaro. Cotaro: OK! Nico: ......................... Nico: Well... that went well. Nico: There's no way we can buy new dolls, so that was the only solution. Nico: And it's OK if I can give them a more enjoyable Hina festival. |

| Eli: What to have for dinner tonight... I should have thought about it before I came to the supermarket.
Eli: We already have potatoes and carrots, so maybe curry. Nico: Haaaa... Eli: Oh! Nico: I can't do anything about the dolls, so I have to at least make the meal wonderful. Eli: That sounds like Nico. She must be shopping for dinner. Nico: If I buy a big, cake-shaped bowl of sushi and decorate it, that should make the display better. Eli: Nico! What a surprise! Nico: We've got some white soup broth, so some parsley and clams would be good. Eli: Nico? ...Maybe she didn't notice me. Nico: For now, I'll get some parsley, peas, carrots... Eli: Niiico! Nico: Eh? EEEK!!! Eli: Wh-why the shocked face? Nico: Nothing! It's nothing! Eli: If it's nothing, then let's do our shopping together. ..............Why are you backing away? Nico: Urgent business! I just remembered some urgent business. See you later, Eli. Eli: Huh? Why are you running off? Nico! Eli: *Pant* *Pant* Where did Nico go? Eli: Something must be troubling her. It isn't like her to have secrets. Eli: I have to keep looking. Nico: *Pant* *Pant*... *Gasp* Nico: I should be safe here. Eli is so persistent. Nozomi: Oh! Nico-cchi, are you racing someone? Nico: Eh! Nozomi! It-It's nothing! Let me pass. Nozomi: Hmmm... Nico: What are you grinning about? Hurry up and get out of the way! Nozomi: But whenever you are in a rush like this... Nozomi: It definitely means something fun must be going on. Nico: Eeek! Let... Let go of me, Nozomi! Eli: Ah, there you are. Nozomi: Oh! Eli, were you looking for Nico-cchi? Eli: Nozomi, don't let her our of your grasp. Nozomi: Of course! Nico: So... this is the end... Nico: I just wanted those kids to have a fun Hina festival. Eli: Oh, I get it. Nozomi: There's no need to keep something like that a secret. Why did you run away? Nico: Because... Nico: It's so uncool for a multi-talented super school idol to not be able to do anything for her family. Nico: I don't want my friends or my family to see me doing something so uncool. Nozomi: Nico-cchi... Nico: No matter what I do, there is no way I can but any big Hina dolls. Eli: I know how your brother and sisters feel. Nozomi: Did you want big Hina dolls as well? Eli: I wanted the whole display with all the courtiers and musicians... not just one man and one woman. Nico: Me too! I thought a doll with some Hishi mochi would be great. Nozomi: A doll with some Hishi mochi would satisfy you? Eli: Ha ha! Nico, you always think with your stomach. Nico: Not now! I'm talking about when I was a cutie-cute kid. Eli: But it looks like you are going to make some lovely food. I'm sure your brother and sisters will have a great Hina festival. Nozomi: You are so devoted to your family. They'll definitely be overjoyed. Nico: They can eat my cooking any time. I'm not sure they'll be that thrilled. Nico: Well, I'm going back to the supermarket. See you guys tomorrow. Eli: ........................ Nozomi: Eli, this is where we come in. Eli: Right! Let's get everyone together. |

Story 3 |

| Eli: OK, so everyone make sure to keep it a secret. I'm sure Nico and her family will be surprised.
Honoka: A Hina festival party! Sounds like fun! Kotori: I'm happy too. I was thinking I want to spend some time with Cocoro, Cocoa, and Cotaro. Umi: But we are talking about Nico's family. Is it OK for us to just butt in? Rin: If it was me, I'd be really happy and surprised if someone held a secret party for me. Maki: By the looks of it, Nico takes a lot of responsibility on herself. Nozomi: There are lots of troublesome girls in µ's, right? Maki: Don't look at me when you say that. You're the one who's a pain in the neck. Eli: If Nico doesn't want us to do it, then we won't. But I'm pretty sure Nico will be happy. Hanayo: Nico really loves her family. I can't help wishing she was my big sister. Umi: Yeah. Nico is usually a bit... but I understand why her brother and sisters are proud of her. Rin: When I was little, I was always like "buy me new shoes" or "buy me a new ball." Hanayo: And you could never understand why they wouldn't buy them for you, right? Nozomi: And then you'd say, "but everyone else has got one." Rin: Totally! And my mom would say, "Don't say that. There's no way that everyone has got one." Rin: Man... Even remembering it is frustrating. Maki: Don't worry about it. That was when you were a little kid. There's no need to get worked up about it now. Rin: Huh? You're rich, Maki, so you have no idea what it feels like. Maki: Wh-What has it got to do with me? You are talking like a child. Rin: Humpf! Nozomi: Hehe! Calm down, Rin. Eli: Kids are always jealous of what they see around them. Like, comparing you house to your friends' houses. Eli: When you think about it now, it really doesn't matter, but back then it was the most important thing in the world. Honoka: I think I know what you mean. When I was little, I remember eating a sweet bun, and then asking my mom to buy some more to take home. She got so mad. Umi: Really? Honoka: At the time, I remember thinking my mom was so mean, but now I think about it, maybe it would have been better to buy sweet buns the next day. Nozomi: Huh? Rin: I'm not sure, but I think you're talking about something else, Honoka. Honoka: Re-really? Umi: Jeez... Honoka, what are you babbling on about? Nozomi: Calm down, Umi. It just shows that we are going to have a great time at the Hina festival party. Kotori: We can't buy dolls, but I still want to have a great party. Hanayo: Oh! Rin: Huh? What is it, Hanayo? Hanayo: Why don't we make origami dolls out of really nice paper? I don't know if that would be the same, though. Maki: Good idea! That way we can make all the courtiers and musicians. Honoka: Wow! Great! Let's go get some paper from the stationery store and make them together. Rin: Agreed! Honoka: Erm... Hanayo, how's this? Hanayo: Hmm, looks good. Make sure the corners are aligned so you can make a proper fold. Maki: Finished! If we put these two together, we have a complete doll. Eli: Harasho! This high-quality paper makes great dolls. Honoka: Hanayo, you're amazing! You can even make the musicians. Hanayo: Bu-but, all I did was look up how to do it in a book. Individually they are pretty small, but there are lots of them, so they look great together. Rin: Hanayo! I made the display stand. Hanayo: OK! Wow Rin, this looks fantastic! Rin: Hehe! You are always so quick with the compliments, Hanayo. Maki: It's been ages since I made something with my hands. It's like being a kid again, but it's fun. Nozomi: The dolls are all done. What's next? Kotori: Ta-da! Look! Look! Honoka: Wow! Kotori, you look amazing! Just like a Hina doll! Maki: How lovely! Is that a Hina doll haori coat? Kotori: Yes! I can't make a full twelve-layered kimono, but a haori coat is easy to make and gives the general atmosphere. Nozomi: And it's decorated with plums and rape blossoms! How lovely! Kotori: Kimono fabric is expensive, so I only used a little. I tried using spare fabric for the rest. Hanayo: The patchwork flowers are made out of Kimono fabric. They're so cute! Kotori: Teehee! Thanks! I hope Nico's family likes them. Honoka: Everyone! Mom's got everything ready. Eli: Honoka's mom is going to teach us how to make Hishi mochi. What a luxury! Honoka: Huh? Why? Nozomi: Hehe! Being taught how to do something by a professional is a valuable experience. Honoka: Really? Rin: Right! Once we've made the Hishi mochi, it'll be time to go and get Nico and her family. |

| Cocoa: Huh? Why are we going out?
Nico: Dunno, But apparently everyone is waiting for us at Honoka's house. Cocoro: They're your friends, so I'm sure they must have a reason. Nico: They probably want us to help with something. Well, I guess it's fine. Cotaro: I'm coming too! Nico: Of course, Cotaro. They said they wanted us all to come. Come on, let's get ready and go. Hanayo: Oh! They're here! They're here! Nico, everyone, over here! Rin: Hi Cocoro, Cocoa, Cotaro! Cocoro: H-hi! Thanks for inviting us over today. Nico: What's going on? Umi: Nico, you know what day it is today, right? Nico: Of course! It's the Hina festival. Honoka: We're going to have a Hina festival party today! Cocoa: Huh? A Hina festival party?!? Cotaro: ?!? Cocoro: But... is it OK for us to join your party? Maki: We planned this party because we wanted you to join. Will you join us? Cocoro: Of... Of course! Cocoa: I can't wait! Cotaro: Yeah! Nico: ... But... Cocoro: Oh! Cocoa, look at this! Cocoa: Whoa! Look at all the dolls. They're so pretty! Hanayo: They're origami. We can make some together later. Cocoro: You've got all the courtiers and musicians. It looks so lovely. Cocoa: Yeah! Look, sis! These dolls are so beautiful. Nico: Why...? Eli: Nico, let's all have fun today. Nico: Eli, I don't mind, of course... but... Rin: Nice! Let's have loooads of fun today! Kotori: Right, all you super-cute Hina dolls. Time to change! Cocoro: Hina dolls... Does that mean... Kotori: Yep! That means you, Cocoro, and you, Cocoa. Cocoa: Wow! Let's get dressed up right now! Kotori: You too, Nico! Nico: Me too? Really? Nozomi: Why are you being so modest? Hurry up and change! Nico: Wa-wait! Stop pushing! Cocoa: Wow! Wow! It's so pretty! I really fell like I've become a Hina doll. Cocoro: Yay! I can't believe I get to wear such beautiful clothes. I'm so happy right now. Maki: It looks good on you too, Nico. Nico: Th-thanks... Umi: Hehe! You're very demur today. Nico: ...Stop laughing at me! Cocoro: Cotaro, you've got a lovely Haori coat as well. Cotaro: Cool! Cocoa: Huh? Cotaro, what do you have in your hand? Cotaro: A drum! Rin: I'll play with you. I've got an upturned bucket with some cloth stretched across it. Cotaro: OK! Nozomi: When we are done, we have some delicious Hishi mochi to eat. Nico: You planned all this... for us? Umi: Does it meet with your approval? I was worried we might be imposing. Nico: N-no. ................. Umm, thank you. Maki: Good. I'm glad you're happy. Eli: Um, Nico... Nico: Eli... Eli: I don't know what you are thinking right now, but I did this because µ's is like a family to me. Nozomi: Me too! We are all one big family, Cocoro, Cocoa, and Cotaro included. Nico: ............... Thank you. Nico: I never say it, but... you are all... Hanayo: OK everyone, let's take a picture. Nico: Oh... Honoka: Nico, Cocoro, Cocoa, Cotaro, everyone smile! Cocoa: Smile, sis! Cocoro: Show us your beautiful smile, Nico! Cotaro: Smile! Nico: Hehe. OK, I'll give you the cutest smile in the universe. Hanayo: OK, are you ready? Say cheese! |
