茅|萱[Kaya]
Poaceae; general term for grasses used to thatch roofs
茅の輪[Chi-no-wa]
It means a ring made of bundles of Kaya. 茅 is also read as chi. 輪[Wa] means ring or circle. Chinowa is used for a ceremony to purge away the sins and impurities of the past six months, and is placed in front of the shrine at the end of each of June and December. This ceremonial manner is called 茅の輪くぐり[Chinowa kuguri], 茅輪神事[Chinowa shinji] or 輪越祭[Wagoshi matsuri], etc., and this held in June is called 夏越の祓[Nagoshi no harae] and this in December is called 大祓[Ooharae].
The procedure is as follows: before visit, pass through it and go round the left side, pass through it again and go round the right side, pass through it again and go round the left side, pass throught it again, and then visit the hall of worship.

人形|人型[Hitogata]
It is also called 形代|型代[Katashiro]. If 人形 is read as ningyō, it means doll; if hitogata, it means human figure made of paper used as a substitute for humans during purifications and prayers.
Today, December 31, is called 大晦日[Oomisoka]. 大[Oo] means big, 晦日|晦|三十日[Misoka] is the 30th of the month. 晦 is also read as tsugomori, which is a corruption of 月隠り[Tsuki-gomori](the moon is holed up.) Therefore, 大晦日 is also called Ootsugomori.

Some more Xmas and New Year's lines
Some new lines before I post about the New Year's event:
25th December:
・Regular!Rolo: "Something I want for Christmas? Something I want... I wonder... It's difficult."
・Sailor!Rolo: "Something I want for Christmas? Spending relaxed time with Brother, just the two of us as family with no one else... I suppose."
(Sailor!Rolo happened after Turn 4, whereas the regular one was released alongside Turn 4 and seems to not clearly know what he can ask for at that point in time...)
31st December/Oomisoka:
(Sailor and Regular are the same lines from now on, so I only recorded one version)
・"It's time for oosouji (*year-end cleaning traditional practice). Ah, skipping out isn't allowed today!"
1st January:
・"It's a new year. I look forward to working with you again this year. In principle, we are likely to be involved with each other in the Student Council and such, so that's why..."
(Even though he doesn't quite like Mario/Maya in the story as he finds him/her suspicious, Rolo said "yoroshiku onegai shimasu" to Mario/Maya, so this sounds like he felt the need to explain why he did so in a bit of a tsundere manner.)
January (any day):
・"Is entering a new year really such a special occasion? Watching those who celebrate, I can't help but find it strange…"
Lost Stories has so much Rolo being captivated by the mundane… Adorable, precious, must protect!!!
By the way, according to the Lost Stories schedule, we'll have the next part of the story the 30th January, and that should be Turns 12 & 13. Nobody knows if they'll go the movie or the R2 route with Shirley yet... movie please

I cooked some Japanese buckwheat noodle soba for the last day of the year, Oomisoka in Japanese.
Most of the Japanese eat soba at the last day of the years because the long noodle soba symbolizes the long lives.
I walked around the nearest park for bird watching with my daughter. we could see some pretty birds.

Mekakucity Talkers: Chapter 3
For some reason, it seems something terrible happened…!?
← Previous || Index || Next →
Mekakushi-dan Chatroom
Hibiya: Anyone! Isn’t there anyone around!? Help!
??: What’s wrong? Are you okay?
Hibiya: Aah, thank goodness! It is an emergency! I do not know who you are, but please help me out!
??: Oops. To think I’d do something like this... I forgot to set up my username and picture.
Ene: All~ right! This Ene-chan shall grant your wish by any means!
Hibiya: Change with someone!
Ene: Hah!? What’s with that?! Do you have any problem with the hyper super pretty virtual girl Ene-chan?!?
Hibiya: Anyone else!? Isn’t there anyone else around!?
Ene: Speaking of which, it seems no one has come today, huh~
Hibiya: What about Shintarou!?
Ene: Master is usually here, right~? Now that you mentioned it, I haven’t seen him since earlier. Isn’t he in the toilet or something?
Hibiya: Then he’ll come back soon!?
Ene: No, Master will probably take one more hour.
Hibiya: Haah!? An hour in the toilet!? What the heck!?
Ene: Master also has his own issues... By the way, hasn’t it been a while? You were forced to go back to your town, weren’t you?
Hibiya: No, I just went back like normal. Well~, how can I put it? I feel like returning home? I’ll be living in the city in the future~, so if I think of this as my last time living in the countryside, it’s not bad, I guess~? Something like that.
Ene: Aren’t you having too big of a misunderstanding after having come to the city just one time?!
Hibiya: I-It’s not a misunderstanding! I really am thinking of taking the admission exam of a middle school from Tokyo and I’m getting ready for it!
Ene: Are you seriously planning to live in Tokyo!? Isn’t that great~?! From now on, you’ll be able to see everyone right away, huh?!
Hibiya: Well, about that... I gotta begin studying for the middle school admission exam~, so I don’t have time to fool around with the... “Mekakuso-dan”, was it~?
Ene: H-H-Hold on! This is a way of making a mistake that you shouldn’t get behind! It’s ME-KA-KU-SHI-dan, you see!!
Hibiya: Sorry, sorry, I typed wrong. But, well, shouldn’t everyone else also quit these embarrassing activities and start contemplating their furute by now~? It’s what I think.
Ene: G-Guh...
Hibiya: You, too, are a “virtual girl”, right? Shouldn’t you graduate from that already?
Ene: Y-You...! That’s a bit too cocky! My appearance is of a physically weak and lovely girl, but even Ene-chan can get angry! For starters, there’s something called “respect” that you should have for older people.
Hibiya: What, should I refer to you as “Auntie”?
Ene: Uuhn!? You picking a fight!?
Hibiya: Uwah! S-Stop ringing up my phone’s vibrator! Hiih! Somehow, a ton of mail is arriving from weird places!! A lot of messages like “thank you for your membership” are coming to me!! I’m sorry, I’m sorry!!
Ene: It’s fine as long as you get it. As long as you get it. Or, rather, what was your business in the end? Why don’t you go study since you love it so much and then hurry to bed? *spit, spit*
Hibiya: R-Right, I had forgotten. I’m... locked up.
Ene: Hah? That’s... like an incident? Like kidnapping? Bad guys!? Hey, it’s no time to be doing this! Please help, Master~!! No, police~!!
Hibiya: Sorry to interrupt while you’re so ecstactic, but it’s not an incident or kidnapping.
Ene: Is that so? If it’s not an incident or kidnapping, then is it a strange phenomenon...? Or you’re being offered as live sacrifice...?
Hibiya: Your prejudice against the countryside is too horrible!
Ene: If it’s not something like that, then what is it?
Hibiya: Well, my family is pretty strict, you see. I told my parents that I was gonna take an admission exam for a Tokyo middle school, and they completely opposed to it. When I woke up in the morning, I was inside our warehouse...
Ene: Aah, that’s what it was... Then, do your best.
Hibiya: Wait a minute! This phone is my only salvation!!
Ene: Your parents are severe, huh? You were quite forfeited, huh~?
Hibiya: This is just ‘cause I finally managed to get my hands on a much-wished-for cellphone! I hide it in my pants when I go to sleep so that my parents won’t find out and so that I don’t leave it out of my reach!
Ene: Uwah...
Hibiya: I was also able to receive heat from the warm phone in my pants, even from within this cold shack!
Ene: Hieh...
Hibiya: Hey, you can move into phones, right? Come to mine!
Ene: Eh~. Isn’t it a long journey to go all the way there~? It’s pretty far, right~?
Hibiya: I don’t know how it works, but through electromagnetic waves, it takes only an instant, right!?
Ene: Kaah~! This is why children now-a-days are so...! You think anything can be solved with electromagnetic waves! You won’t become a proper adult in the future!
Hibiya: You’re going there!?
Ene: In the first place, it’s better if I don’t go.
Hibiya: Eh, why?
Ene: Won’t people find out you have a phone if we talk?
Hibiya: Aah, is that so...?
Ene: Also, I don’t wanna go to a phone that was in someone’s pants.
Hibiya: Doesn’t that have nothing to do with it?
Ene: It’s a matter of feelings!
Hibiya: Man! That doesn’t matter! You’ll help me, right!?
Ene: Eh~? Are you okay with that way of asking~?
Hibiya: Uwah, what a handful...
Ene: Eh? What? You want someone to help you? Hm? What do they look like? Super pretty?
Hibiya: Hey~, that doesn’t matter at all!
Ene: Eh? You want her to help you? The Super Pretty Who-sama?
Hibiya: Ah~, man, I get it already! Super Pre-something Ene-sama, please help me!
Ene: Hmm~? I’m a bit concerned about the way you put it. Really, no choice~! This super pretty virtual girl Ene-sama will help you! So? How’s the situation of the interior?
Hibiya: E~rm... there’s only one door in the warehouse. It’s got a locker with a number code.
Ene: That’s a weird warehouse, huh~. Can it be opened from within?
Hibiya: Hn, looks like it... They said, “if you want to take the middle school exam, try solving this mystery”. There’s a paper with something like a cipher written on it. I think that, if I solve it, I’ll definitely find out the numbers for the locker.
Ene: Your parents are quite the entretainers, huh...?
Hibiya: Can I write down the cipher?
Ene: Hum, show it to me.
Hibiya: E~rm... “change the initial letters into numbers: 12/31 12/25 2/14” is what it says.
Ene: Hoh~, I see, I see.
Hibiya: How is it?
Ene: ......speaking of this, Master is late, huh~? Does he have a stomach ache or something~? This is that kind of thing, right~? He’s a good-for-nothing when I’m not around, right~? He’s calling, he’s calling~. I gotta go~.
Hibiya: See~! You totally didn’t get it! In the end, I should have asked someone else!
Ene: Oh~? Are you okay with this kind of attitude!? I could sneak into your phone and spread the~se and even tho~se kinds of pictures all over the chatroom!
Hibiya: That’s a terrible guess to make! Actually, can you do something that terrifying!? Just... Just cut me some slack with that.
Ene: Huhu~n? By this reaction, you also have nasty photos, don’t you~? Eek, eek, men are all like that~
Hibiya: “Nasty”, you say!? Rude!! My “This is Hiyori Mobile” is the ultimate image folder that pursues sophisticated beauty!
Ene: The name is gross!! You sure had courage to name it like that, huh!?
Hibiya: It’s because I dedicate my life to it!! This is nothing!! My lockscreen, e-mail address and ringtone have Hiyori-related specifications! Even my password is Hiyori’s birthday!
Ene: Isn’t that a police case?!! In the end, it’s better if you stay locked in that shack!! Hm? “Birthday”?
Hibiya: What? Got a problem with This is Hiyori Mobile or something!?
Ene: The name is gross! No, no, more important than that...! I found out the answer!
Hibiya: Eh? What?
Ene: These are dates!
Hibiya: Haah?
Ene: 12/31 is Oomisoka, right? If we assume that its initial is the English letter “o”, it would look like the number “zero”!
(T/N: Oomisoka or Ootsugomori is the name of New Year’s celebration, also used as a synonym for New Year’s Eve in Japanese.)
Hibiya: T-Then, 12/25 is Christmas, isn’t it? If the initial is “ku”, that means it becomes 9 if transcribed into a number?
(T/N: “Christmas” is written as “kurisumasu” in katakana, and “ku” is one of the readings of the number 9.)
Ene: That’s it! And 2/14 is Valentine! The “ba” definitely stands for 8!
(T/N: “Valentine” is written as “barentain” in katakana. “Ba” is close to “ha” and “pa”, which are syllabes associated with the number 8, which reads as “hachi”.)
Hibiya: W-Wait a bit! I’ll try to match the key numbers!
Ene: H-How was it?
Hibiya: I
Ene: “I”?
Hibiya: I got out~!!
Ene: Yeeeaaah!! Did you see that!? This is my power!! Ayo, ayo, please praise me grandly!!
Hibiya: I-It’s frustrating, but you did end up helping me... thanks.
Ene: No, no, I don’t need gratitude~! You don’t have to call me Ene-sama from now on~! Or to keep on talking forever about how you are alive due to Ene-sama, no way, no way~!
Hibiya: No, I didn’t say that much... Ah! My father is in front of the warehouse!
Ene: Ooh! Meaning that he was waiting because he believed in his son!? How touching! With this, they will allow you to take the exam!
Hibiya: Yeah!
Ene: Hm? Hey--Wait a moment! Is it all right for you to be typing this down? You were hiding from your parents that you had a phone... O~i.........
Hibiya has logged out.
Ene: Aah...
