Despite having their hearts broken just as they set off, the two of them arrived at their intended shrine. It was about a fifteen-minute walk from the Hashima residence, and every year when he was young, his family—him, Keisuke, and Itsuki’s mother—would come there to pay their respects on New Year’s Day. It wasn’t a very large shrine, but there was a line forming on the approach to it, and Itsuki and Chihiro joined it at the end.

After about twenty minutes, it was their turn to pray at the altar. They stood next to each other, bowing and praying, and each of them threw a five-yen coin into the money box for good luck. Ring the bell, bow twice, clap twice—the usual routine.

As he prayed, Itsuki wished for Chihiro to pass the exam for her first choice of school, for Natsume to have a safe childbirth, and for his family to remain healthy. He didn’t wish anything for himself, nor did he swear to do anything next year.

After one final bow, he waited for Chihiro to finish up before leaving the shrine with her.

“What did you wish for, Itsuki?”

“Well, for you to get into the school of your choice, for Mom to have a safe delivery, and for the family to stay healthy.”

Chihiro gave him a shy smile. “Oh… Thank you.”

“How about you, Chihiro?”

“Pretty much the same as you…but I also wished for a…” She blushed. “A successful love life. Oh, wait, let’s draw our fortunes over there!”

Aching to change the subject, Chihiro turned her attention elsewhere. But Itsuki just smiled uncomfortably.

“I don’t really want my fortune…”

“No? Why not?”

“…I had a really good fortune at my last New Year’s shrine visit, but then the All About anime news leaked out that night, so I swore I’d never trust my fortune again. I think the paper said I’d have the best luck in love, too…”

Chihiro looked at the embittered Itsuki a bit awkwardly. “Um… In that case, let’s go buy a lucky charm. For Mom and Dad, too.”

“All right.”

With Itsuki’s agreement, the pair headed for the shrine office. “I’ll pay for them, so buy whatever you want.”

“Really? Thanks.” Chihiro began making her choices.

“First off, we need one for your education.”

“Right. Then a safe birth and then one for the family and one to ward off sickness, maybe?”

“You don’t want one for love?”

“…If you don’t mind,” Chihiro said, shyly choosing a love charm. “What about you, Itsuki? You want any? For prosperity in business or success…in matchmaking…”

“…Traffic safety would be nice.”

“Oh…”

Chihiro gave a concerned look to Itsuki, who smiled and picked an amulet at random, as if trying to swallow his pain.
