Aired on December 10, 2013
As the second semester concludes at Asahigaoka Branch School, the campus stands empty and the trees are bare. Families including the Koshigayas, Ichijous, and Miyauchis engage in traditional New Year preparations such as cleaning, making osechi, and preparing soba. Late at night, Kaede accompanies the Miyauchi sisters to observe the first sunrise of the year, marking a quiet transition into the new season.
