7 7 301 Ayla moves lightly, placing the fortune bag with the couplets on the table.
8 8 301 Looking around, she can hardly find a flattering spot in the Strike Hawk's lounge.

10 10 301 1 Ayla It's not a good habit to judge others' aesthetics, but, still... sigh. 1
11 11 301 ??? Sorry, Ayla, if this is too embarrassing. I simply prefer my lounge to be as simple as possible.
12 12 301 Ayla is not surprised to hear Chrome's voice behind her.
13 13 301 Ayla You're a captain. Defend yourself, at the very least. 1

16 16 301 1 Chrome I was the one who ordered the decorations to be taken down—Wanshi, the sleepyhead, kept hitting them when he woke up. It wasn't a big deal for Constructs, sure... 2
17 17 301 Ayla But as a captain, you're still worried... I see. 1
18 18 204 2
19 19 301 Chrome You're mistaken. Wanshi would use that as an excuse to avoid practice, so I spent some effort replacing all the decorations, and I put all these paddings on the edges and corners of the tables and chairs. 2
20 20 301 Ayla I... see... Oh, right. I almost forgot. 1
21 21 301 Ayla remembers why she is here and hands Chrome the bag she placed on the table.
22 22 204 1 1
23 23 301 Ayla I'm actually here on behalf of WGAA to give you this. 1
24 24 204 2 1
25 25 301 Chrome Is that so? Do I need to give you a receipt, or something? Allow me. 2
26 26 301 Ayla Eh, no? You misunderstood. Inside the bags is a pair of couplets from WGAA. They're like decorations for the festival, like... Christmas tree. 1
27 27 301 Chrome opens the bag and peeks inside, and he finds two pieces of red paper with words on them.
28 28 204 1
29 29 301 Chrome Couplets, you say? It's Lunar New Year, isn't it? My thanks to WGAA for preparing this. 2
30 30 301 Ayla Oh? How come you know what they are, Chrome? 1
31 31 301 Chrome I read about the festival in a book before. I was quite interested in this form of art, so I still remember bits of it. 2
32 32 301 Ayla Whoa, I'm so moved! If we can create another person like you, WGAA's effort will not be in vain! 1
33 33 301 Chrome That's... a bit hyperbolic, isn't it... 2
34 34 202 1 2 1
35 35 301 As the two of them talk, a tall Construct walks in, looking frustrated.

37 37 301 1 Kamui Capt... Why did you leave me behind... I got caught by old man Nik... I mean, Commander Nikola, and he gave me one hell of a talk... 1
38 38 201 1 500155 1
39 39 301 1 Chrome You're right on time. Help me put these couplets up, won't you? 1
40 40 301 Seeing the red sheets in Chrome's hand, Kamui walks closer curiously.

43 43 301 Kamui What?! What are "couplets"? 2
44 44 301 Chrome gestures to the running Kamui to lower his voice.
45 45 301 Chrome Kamui, Wanshi's probably sleeping, so don't wake him up. 1

49 49 301 1 Ayla What?! You mean there's someone else here? But... I was knocking, and nobody answered! 3
50 50 301 Kamui Oh, hi, Ayla! We've met, I think—long time no see! 2
51 51 301 Chrome ...Looks like we can skip the introduction. And you're right—our third member is here, indeed. But it's that time of the day. 1
52 52 301 Ayla That time of the day? 3
53 53 301 Chrome ...For him to sleep. 1
54 54 301 Ayla A Construct in sleep mode, is it? No wonder no one answered. 3
55 55 301 Kamui Wanshi does that a lot, so don't mind it. By the way, can I open this? Does it come with gifts like the red envelopes? 2
56 56 301 Kamui grabs the fortune bag from Chrome as he speaks and looks inside with anticipation.
57 57 301 Ayla Of course! It's for you! 3
58 58 301 With a bit of rustling, Kamui opens the bag and looks at the beautifully written couplets in his hands, his head tilted in confusion.
61 61 301 Kamui And there are only two pieces, but... there are three of us! 2
62 62 301 Chrome This isn't a gift for us personally. They're decors for the room. 1
63 63 301 Ayla It's a tradition from the ancient East. Although we're still not sure what their application is, the words written on them are all beautiful blessings. 3
64 64 301 Ayla In the past, the people in the East would put these couplets up outside the door during Springtime as a way to wish for good luck in the coming year! 3
65 65 204 2 1
66 66 301 Kamui Ah, I see! If this will make our dreams come true... Capt., Ayla, can I decide where to place it? 2
67 67 301 Chrome I don't need it in my room, so... it's fine by me. 1
68 68 301 Kamui How about you, Ayla? Please let me handle this! 2
69 69 301 Ayla I'm supposed to give it to you to handle it, so of course—you have your captain's permission. You can do it. 3
70 70 301 Kamui Capt., Ayla, I will make sure to put the couplets and their intentions to good use! 2
