Well, all of that has been going on for a few weeks, the days Russell and his friends are back as usual. Until now, December has arrived. Now they can determine what activities they will do at the end of this year.
Russell invites them to gather in a hut on the edge of the rice field as usual to just exchange ideas and opinions about the end of the year.
"Of everything.." Russell

THE - CHAPTER 59 END
.

.
After the school culture festival is over. The activities of Russell and his friends go back like the days before the cultural festival was held. They went to school for a few weeks, until finally the month of December has arrived.
Therefore, Russell invites his friends to regroup in a hut on the edge of the rice field to make a plan of what activities they will do at the end of the year.
This time it seems that Russell is back late again when his other friends have gathered in the hut. But that is not a problem because they have not started a discussion. After that because everyone had gathered, they immediately began to give their own ideas.
First there from Wisang, he proposed they all exchange gifts. With an atmosphere that is quite suitable because it is approaching Christmas, it seems that the Christmas party and gift exchange are one of the activities that will be fun if done at the end of the year. So, they immediately agreed to the idea of Wisang to hold a christmas party and exchange gifts.
Furthermore, there was also an idea from Michael who suggested holding a get-together while eating mochi, after which they decided to hold it at Rafael's house.
Later Ayaka and Miko also proposed to hold hatsumode and oshogatsu and the proposal was also approved by others.
After the 4 activities have entered the list. Suddenly the sky began to cloud over, and they decided to go home and continue their discussion later that night through a group chat.
And sure enough, after Russel and his friends returned to their homes, each of the heavy rain immediately fell instantly. But luckily, they did not get soaked because of it.
At nightfall and at 21:00, Russell immediately started a conversation in a chat group and they immediately discussed again. This time Russell has made an arrangement of activities for their new year party series, more or less like this.
December 25th (Hour 20:00): Christmas Party and Exchange gifts.
31 December (Hour 20:00): A gathering together at Raphael's house.
January 1 (Hour 09.00): Hatsumode to the Temple near the village.
2 January (Jam 19:00): Fireworks in the hills near the village.
3-5 January (Hours adjustable): Oshogashu in each house.
In total there are 5 activities in their year-end party series. After the discussion in the group chat, they closed the activity today with a rest.
Fun year-end party is coming soon~!
