Good show, OP.

Last chapter I saw had the MC stuck in a room with Hotaru. He asked her what she thought of him or something, where'd that end up going?

That was chapter 143.
Look in archive. There are also translations.

Thanks, I'm really enjoying Hotaru's winter style.

Thanks.

"So"
"You just drank like that until daybreak."
[The First of January]

[New Year's Day]
"Sorry..."
"And now you have...
"A hangover."
"Shorry..."

"Ah, but a hangover is something that happens the day after drinking, so..."
"Strictly speaking, since we were drinking up until just now, it's not a hangover and just overdrinking..."
Haa
haa
"HM?"
"I'm so shorry..."

"Jeez... The stall will be so busy today thanks to the Hatsumoude too..."
"This is something that would get your pay docked..."
"I don't get enough pay for that to make a difference, but..."
"HMM?"
"Ah, no. Sorry. Really."
"Shorry..."

.......
"Haaah...."

"I'll do it...!!"
"T-that's... Kokonotsu giving up on various things and putting in his all... the Pro Dagashi Store Owner mode!!"
(Giving up on various things...)

"I'll take care of it for now so you two better come over later!! I'm leaving some ramune here!!"
[Morinaga Ramune
It works well on hangovers]
*See Volume 4 57th sweet
"Okaaay..."
"Right..."

A New Year has come upon this town.

"Oh, Kokonotsu-chan, happy New Year!"
"Ah, Happy New Year..."
"Would you like some yakisoba?"
"Oh, Kokonotsu-chan, looks like you'll have a good year."
"Huh?"

"Your new helper is working hard and is doing well."

"The start of a year... On this day, which dagashi you eat will"
"decide how you'll go about in this coming year... Such an important decision."

"For choosing us on this big day, we at Shikada's Hatsumoude stall give you thanks... and blessings... and dagashi."
"It's that weird girl from during summer."
"But she has a cute face."
"Shikada's place seems quite lively lately."
"Let's get something to eat since we're here."
"....."

"Happy New Year, Hotaru-san..."
"Don't push!"
"Ah, Kokonotsu."
"Hm?"

"O-oh, no, this is... it's not like I wanted to try tending the store... or get into the feeling of managing a dagashi store or anything like that...!"
"Either way, I get that what you and I think as 'tending to the store' are quite different."
"T-that's wrong. It's not like I was trying to live the ideal life of a dagashi shop lady...."
"So that's your ideal, huh..."

"I see."
"So You-san and Hajime-chan are..."
"Yeah! It's so troubling!"

"I keep saying that they shouldn't drink too much too..."
"That's right! They should worry about their bodies - Welcome!"
"This looks good~"

"Kokonotsu-kun! Could you please bring out a ten Umaibo as a set?"
"Right."

"Now please take this... Our personal 10-pack selection of Umaibo... You will definitely have a wonderful year..."
"May blessings be on your beautiful souls."
"Thanks...?"

"......"
"Quite a nice selection, Kokonotsu-kun..."
"....Yes?"

"What is it?"
"Ah, nothing really..."

(Maybe it would be nice...)

(If it were Hotaru-san and I watching over the store together like this)
(I wouldn't mind working forever at the dagashi store... I wouldn't want to say this out loud though...)

(Well... Hotaru-san now isn't trying to make me take over Shikada's so it doesn't matter...)
(What's her current goal again? To bring me out to join her own company...?)

(Is there even a point to bringing me out, I wonder...)
"Excuse me~"
"How can I help!"

"Man, sorry for all the trouble... We'll take over from here."
"My apologies!!"

"You're forbidden from drinking for now."
"Riight..."

"But everyone in town is drinking today..."
"No 'but's, old man! Go to hell!!"

"Right, we'll leave it to you then."
"Okaaay."
"Yep."

"Haah, I'm really tired."
"Thanks so much."
"It's fine, it was tons of fun!"

"Aw jeez, look at the time... Hmm, then let's..."
"......"

"Um, since we're here..."

"Shall we take a walk?"
Clank clunk

Clang Clang

Smack Smack

"......"

"Obviously I wished for Kokonotsu-kun to come join my company!"
"Don't wishes stop working if you tell it to others...?"

"You need the courage to say it out load."

"So Hotaru-san, you're making your own company."
"Yes, that's right."

"You're not succeeding the Shidare Company then."
"......!"

"...Yes."
"That is my intention."

"....."
"...What?"

(I always thought before Hotaru-san was weird, but now... Nah, she's still weird.)

(But she left her home because she had things she wanted to do...)

(That's the same as me.)

"......"

"Although I will probably quite a bit of mayhem, but I'll be in your care this year too, Kokonotsu-kun."
"Haha, please look out for me too."

(So then would Shidare Company be succeeded by Yutaka-san... But that guy is a convenience store maniac...)
"Hm? Wait?"
"What is it?"

"That's right, I didn't see Yutaka-san at all today..."
"Oh? If it isn't Former Manager."

"Everyone's started to pack up. Were you sleeping at home?"
"My head hurts..."
"...I hear that ramune works well on curing hangovers, you know...?"
"Ah... Thank you..."

So I guess Hotaru is going to stat around for awhile longer?

...

is he fucking anyone yet or is this still a shitty gag manga that ran out of new ideas 100 chapters ago?

Thanks.

Thanks for the translation.
