What If?

Back in Tokyo, the Hanaya throws its New Year party for the futsal team. Kenta takes over the inn in three months, and he can't sleep. What if the guests don't come, what if he breaks something, what if his grandmother hurts her back again? Daichi, Sota, Ben and Missus Sato each have an answer. Learn -tara dou shiyou, for what if, and -eba ii, for all you have to do, and how they differ from nara.
