Main Street
―A few days after the New Year’s Sale begins
Ruggie Ruggie	Oookay, time to start shoveling the snow from the main street all the way to the front of the Mystery Shop before we open.
Cater Cater	Yay, let’s go!
Ruggie Ruggie	Just like usual, me ‘n Cater-san’ll be in charge of the snow on the right side of the street, while Sebek-kun and Vil-san’ll have the left, got it?
Vil Vil	Of course. Let us begin, Sebek.
Sebek Sebek	Right.
Cater Cater	Kay, then we should get to it, too.
Ruggie Ruggie	Yeah.
Cater Cater	Whew～ I mean, I knew I’d be a little busy working bee for this New Year’s Sale job, but… I def didn’t expect all the manual labor like the ＨＡＧＯＩＴＡ battles and snow shoveling.
Ruggie Ruggie	Can’t say I thought we’d be doing these ＨＡＧＯＩＴＡ battles either. But shoveling snow before the shop opens for the day makes sense, at least. It’s exhausting and doesn’t even make me any extra madol, though… I really hope it doesn’t keep snowing.
Cater Cater	I might actually enjoy shoveling the snow. Yeah, it’s hard work, but it’s kinda nice, 'cause it’s not like we really get to work together like this often.
Ruggie Ruggie	I seeee～ Then, I’ll give you my area to shovel too, Cater-san.
Cater Cater	Ahaha～  I think I’ll pass.
Sebek Sebek	Shoveling all this fallen snow and throwing it to the side of the road makes for good training! Hah! Hmph! Hah!
Vil Vil	Excuse you, Sebek, you’re flinging the snow in my direction as well! If you do that again, I will not let it slide!
Ruggie Ruggie	Man, Sebek-kun’s really getting into it. Wish he’d do my part too.
Cater Cater	Ouch…
Ruggie Ruggie	Hm? Cater-san, didja do something to your hip?
Cater Cater	When I shoveled some of the snow off to the side, it just twinged a little. Guess it’s cause I’m using muscles I don’t normally use.
Ruggie Ruggie	Oh, hey, Cater-san, are you stooping over like that every time you scoop 'n throw the snow?
Cater Cater	Yeah. Why, do you do it differently?
Ruggie Ruggie	Yep. I got a trick that helps me carry the snow without hurting my back. I’m gonna show it now, so watch carefully.
Cater Cater	Eh, you’re gonna teach me right now?
Ruggie Ruggie	Well, 'cause if you hurt your back and can’t move anymore, then we can say bye-bye to that special bonus. So first, when you go to scoop the snow, you drop your back and legs like this to lower your center of gravity. Then, once the snow is on the shovel, you use your whole body to lift it all up. Finally, you get as close as you can to the place you’re puttin’ all the snow on and… Throw it!
Cater Cater	Wooooah, a clean throw!
Ruggie Ruggie	This method should keep you from hurtin’ your back. Please, do give it a try.
Cater Cater	Thanks for showing me, I’ll try it ♪ But how did you know that trick to shoveling snow in the first place? Were you from a colder country?
Ruggie Ruggie	Nooope. I learned how to shovel snow from when I worked part-time at a ski resort.
Cater Cater	Cool, didn’t know you worked somewhere like that. Working at a resort sounds super nice～ I bet it was fun!
Ruggie Ruggie	It was an awesome, amaaazing job! While I worked there, I got to stay in a room that had a bathtub, and even more important than that, everything was all you can eat!!
Cater Cater	Eh, that’s what you mean by it being an amazing job? I thought you were gonna say you got to snowboard or ski on your breaks or something.
Ruggie Ruggie	What’re you saying!? It’s so rare to find an amazing job like that where I got to take hot baths for free and eat as much as my stomach would let me for a great hourly wage!
Vil Vil	Ruggie, Cater. I’m sure you’ve done a good amount of shoveling, seeing that you have time to get lost in conversation, hm?
Ruggie Ruggie	Of course. I’m still working, even while chatting!
Cater Cater	Ah, Ruggie’s gotten way ahead of me now! Sorry, Vil-kun! I’ll get back into it…
??? ???	―ARGH!
Vil Vil	Hm? What was that noise just now?
Ruggie Ruggie	Ah, Sebek-kun’s shoulder is covered in snow. I bet it just fell from the tree…
Sebek Sebek	WHO JUST THREW SNOW AT ME!?!
File:Story Cater & Ruggie & Vil NY.png Everyone Everyone	Huh?
Ruggie Ruggie	Uh, no one?
Sebek Sebek	DON’T YOU LIE TO ME! I won’t be able to face the Young Master if I were to withdraw here silently without countering… Take this!
Ruggie Ruggie	Ack, did Sebek just fling a snowball at us with everything he’s got!?
Vil Vil	This misunderstanding is ridiculous. I’ll be going back to shov― …!!
Cater Cater	W-Woah… If Vil-kun hadn’t been able to swat away that snowball Sebek threw just now…
Ruggie Ruggie	…That would’ve been a direct hit on Vil-san’s face. Also, those snowballs he’s throwing look super frozen.
Sebek Sebek	Now, are you ready to confess as to who done it?
Vil Vil	Did you just… Aim at my face…? MY!! PRECIOUS!! AND!! IMMESURABLY VALUABLE!! FACE!?! I’ll have to teach this insolent potato a lesson, it seems.
Cater Cater	Ack! Vil-kun, control yourself!!
Ruggie Ruggie	Cater-san, why’re you trying to stop them? Now’s our chance! While Sebek-kun and Vil-san are having a falling out, let’s keep on shoveling the snow and get ahead of them!!

Main Street
Vil Vil	I’ll have to teach this insolent potato a lesson, it seems.
Cater Cater	Ack! Vil-kun, control yourself!!
Ruggie Ruggie	Cater-san, why’re you trying to stop them? Now’s our chance! While Sebek-kun and Vil-san are havin’ a falling out, let’s keep on shovelin’ the snow and get ahead of them!!
Cater Cater	Th-That’d be great if we could! But escaping from these two lobbing snowballs at each other is practically impossible!!
File:Story Cater & Ruggie NY.png Cater & Ruggie Cater & Ruggie	Ouch!/Ow!
Ruggie Ruggie	Ack, a stray ball came flying…!
Cater Cater	Was that really just a snowball just now!? I swear it just curved and came right at me!?
Ruggie Ruggie	I don’t wanna just get all beaten down like this. Maybe we should also strike back… ―Oh.
Cater Cater	Hm? Why’d you pick up your shovel all of a sudden? Weren’t you going to attack…?
??? ???	Nheeheehee… How young and full of vigor you all are so early in the morning.
Cater Cater	Eh?
File:Story Vil & Sebek NY.png Vil & Sebek Vil & Sebek	That voice… Sam!/Sam-san!
Ruggie Ruggie	Hey c'mon, you guys know you shouldn’t slack off and have a snowball fight when you shoulda been shoveling, right? You gotta be like me and work properly.
Cater Cater	Wait, you were totally about to jump into the fray! Ruggie-kun, you changed your tune so fast!!
Sebek Sebek	I had no intention of abandoning this task set to me, I swear… I’m afraid I acted shamelessly.
Vil Vil	I also let my anger go to my head… I shouldn’t have done so here. This is something for me to reflect on.
Sam Sam	It’s all right! As long as the shoveling is done before the shop opens, everything will be fine. That being said, I’m going to need you guys at your best to sell our merchandise and engage in ＨＡＧＯＩＴＡ battles, so it’d be great if you guys could reserve your strength for that. I’ll be at the store, then.
Ruggie Ruggie	Whew… I’m glad he didn’t say anything like, “I’m gonna dock your pay!” ‘Kay, everyone, let’s get back to shoveling this snow.
Cater Cater	Yeah! Shoveling the snow～ Shoveling the snow～
Sebek Sebek	I cannot believe that I would lose my composure over something so minor as snow falling on me… How careless… The only way to vent this frustrating feeling is to shovel it all away. RRRAAAAARGH!!! MOVE IT, SNOW!!!
Ruggie Ruggie	Sebek-kun’s shoveling has gotten so intense he’s more like a snow plow than anything.
Vil Vil	…
Ruggie Ruggie	Vil-san, you’ve been quite for a little while now… Didja get all tired from that fight with Sebek-kun?
Vil Vil	As if. I wouldn’t even consider that level of movement a warm-up. A thought cross my mind when Sam said “ＨＡＧＯＩＴＡ battle.” You recall how our sales took a dip temporarily due to our non-stop winning streak? Our customers all returned, thankfully, after we switched up how we would win against them. However…
Ruggie Ruggie	Yeah, I guess he’d have a few thoughts about that as the owner of the store, even though it was only a short period of time. Ah! You’re not thinking… If I can make up for the sales we lost, I’d be more than sure to definitely get my special bonus…!?
Vil Vil	Yours? I’ll be the one to win it. …Although, speaking as someone currently employed here, I don’t think it wouldn’t be too terrible to think about how to help the shop.
Ruggie Ruggie	True… What about if we give some other perk if they spend more than 5,000 Madol, rather than just challenging us to a battle?
Vil Vil	That’s not a bad idea. However, is there even anything that we’d be able to prepare at a moment’s notice?
Ruggie Ruggie	If it’s gotta be something that’s not gonna cost any money… What if we folded up some warthogs out of leftover wrapping paper?
Vil Vil	I can’t imagine the students at this school would be interested in that, let alone small children.
Ruggie Ruggie	You’re right, I just thought I’d throw it out there. Hmm, isn’t there anything that won’t take too much time or money to set up…? Ah! What about the chance to take a selfie with you, Vil-san?
Vil Vil	Are you seriously trying to insinuate that taking a selfie with me would only be worth 5,000 Madol?
Ruggie Ruggie	Nah, of course not, but maybe it could be more like a friend discount!
Vil Vil	Rejected.
Ruggie Ruggie	Tch. Then…
??? ???	―Aaaaaahh!!
Ruggie Ruggie	!! What was the scream just now!? Hey, Cater-san’s missing!
Cater Cater	S-Someone help me～
Vil Vil	There’s a voice coming from that snowbank beside the tree…
Ruggie Ruggie	That’s probably definitely Cater-san under all that snow, isn’t it. Doesn’t look like he can get out of there on his own, we should help him.
Vil Vil	You’re just causing more work for us, seriously.
Ruggie Ruggie	You okay, Cater-san?
Cater Cater	Thanks, you two, for getting me out from under all that snow～ Right when I was shoveling the snow by the tree, a huge pile of snow fell on top of me, I thought I was a goner. Even though I saw the same thing happening to Sebek-kun just a little bit ago… I guess I wasn’t being careful enough.
Ruggie Ruggie	That was way more snow than what fell earlier. Took forever to dig you out of there… AH!!!
Vil Vil	What is it, Ruggie?
Ruggie Ruggie	I had a great idea that’ll help boost the New Year’s Sale, and make our job easier.

Beside Mister S’s Mystery Shop
―After opening
Ace Ace	I wonder if there’s any good deals going on for today’s New Year’s Sale―
Deuce Deuce	Hm? There’s some kind of crowd in front of the shop…
Ace Ace	Wh-What’s that!? There’s a bunch of snow heaps in by the shop!?
Deuce Deuce	Oh, there’s a hole in those snow heaps. And hey, there’s people inside!
Ace Ace	You’re right! And they’re totally just lounging around. Looks kinda cold, though…
Ruggie Ruggie	You’d think. But it’s actually pretty warm inside.
Ace Ace	Ah, Ruggie-senpai! What’s with those snowbanks? There’s so many of them…
Ruggie Ruggie	Those are called ＫＡＭＡＫＵＲＡ.
Ace & Deuce Ace & Deuce	ＫＡＭＡＫＵＲＡ?
Ruggie Ruggie	Yep! Think of it like a little house made out of a dome of snow. You pile up the snow while pouring water on it here and there, then make a huge hole in the center of it, and you’re done. Easy-peasy, don'tcha think?
Deuce Deuce	Ah, now I see a lot of the other guys carrying around shovels. Guess they’re all making these ＫＡＭＡＫＵＲＡ.
Ace Ace	There’s people eating stuff inside those ＫＡＭＡＫＵＲＡ too. Eh, is that… marshmallows and… mud?
Ruggie Ruggie	NO, IT AIN’T MUD!! That’s a super tasty treat. Look at how they all like it.
Epel Epel	What’s this ‘ere food… IT’S DELISH!!!
Rook Rook	Pairing together this chewy dango with this rich and sweet soup… Aah, how très bien this is!!!
Ace Ace	You’re right, they all look like they love it. But it still looks… I mean, the color of that broth is weird, man.
Ruggie Ruggie	That’s called “oshiruko” and it’s a dish from a country in the East. The soup’s made out of these red beans that’s been stewed in sugar, and you eat it with these things called “dango.”
Ace Ace	Eh, stewed with sugar…? So it’s sweet beans!? And that color is super black… Don’t think it’s for me.
Deuce Deuce	Me neither… But Epel and Hunt-senpai look like they’re really enjoying it, so I kind of want to know how it tastes.
Ace Ace	I mean, I guess I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little bit curious too…
Ruggie Ruggie	Oh, and by the way, only people who make a ＫＡＭＡＫＵＲＡ get to buy the oshiruko. That means… YOU CAN ONLY TRY IT HERE!! NOW!! THIS LIMITED-TIME ACTIVITY!!! It’d be pretty cool to chow down on a unique dish in a unique setting like the ＫＡＭＡＫＵＲＡ, huuuh～? There’s a limit to how much we’re sellin’ each day, so I don’t think you can afford to pass up this opportunity.
Ace & Deuce Ace & Deuce	Gulp…
Deuce Deuce	I’d like to try it!
Ace Ace	Guess I’ll try it out too. Bet the others’ll be jelly when they hear about this.
Ruggie Ruggie	Okaaay, a setting for two coming right up～ And you’ll be ordering the oshiruko as well, right?
Ace & Deuce Ace & Deuce	Yes!
Ruggie Ruggie	Shishishi, thank you very much～!! Here, you can use this shovel. If you need help on making your ＫＡＭＡＫＵＲＡ, you can come ask! Once you’re done, I’ll bring some hot oshiruko over to you. Have fun～!
Mister S’s Mystery Shop
―After closing
Sam Sam	Good job today, my little imp crew! Thanks to all your hard work, that was the busiest we’ve been recently. I truly appreciate how you improved on the ＨＡＧＯＩＴＡ battles, as well as the idea to sell the oshiruko! Let’s all keep up the good work tomorrow!
File:Story Vil & Sebek NY.png Vil & Sebek Vil & Sebek	Yessir!
File:Story Cater & Ruggie NY.png Cater & Ruggie Cater & Ruggie	Yeah!
Sam Sam	So, there’s still a little bit of the oshiruko that Ruggie-kun made, so let’s eat some together.
Sebek Sebek	Huzzah! I would like a large helping!
Ruggie Ruggie	Sebek-kun, you were eyeing the oshiruko earlier while you were working, but I didn’t realize you wanted to try it that much…
Cater Cater	But hey, Ruggie-kun. That was amazing that you knew how to make the oshiruko.
Ruggie Ruggie	Remember how I told you this morning I once worked part-time at a ski resort? There was this staff member who came from an Eastern country who taught me the recipe.
Vil Vil	You came up with the suggestion for the ＫＡＭＡＫＵＲＡ too. Your previous experience really did come in handy today.
Ruggie Ruggie	Yeah, man, it’s great that I’ve done a ton of things to draw ideas from! And also… Shishishi. Thanks to all the customers makin’ their ＫＡＭＡＫＵＲＡ, all the snow around the shop was completely cleared away! The customers all got to have some fun, and we didn’t have to do so much manual labor. It was super brilliant, if I do say so myself! …But hey, Sam-san. About that other thing…
Sam Sam	I know. You’re talking about my promise to give you “30% of the oshiruko sales amount” in exchange for giving me the recipe, right? Don’t worry, I’ll give it to you later.
Ruggie Ruggie	Awesome, Sam-san! I can’t wait!
Sam Sam	You’re really a shrewd little imp, aren’t you? Well, I guess you put all that initiative into teaching everyone how to make the ＫＡＭＡＫＵＲＡ, so… And the oshiruko was a big hit, too. I’m really grateful.
Ruggie Ruggie	Glad I could help! Since I helped increase the profits this much, that special bonus is as good as mine. Shishishi, this is gonna be the best start to a new year!
