You: Umm, that clothing store should be around here somewhere… Clothing Shop Clerk: Welcome! Come on in and get a rental kimono for a limited time only! Sadone: There it is!! Sadone: Miss Salesperson, please lend Sadone a kimonooo! You: Y-Yes, hi, hello. Clothing Shop Clerk: My my, aren’t you a cutie? You want to rent a kimono from us?

Sadone: Yes!!! Sadone wants to wear a cute kimono! Clothing Shop Clerk: You certainly can. Now then, I’m sure we have a kimono that’s the perfect fit for you. Sadone: Hoorayyy ♪ You: T-Thank you for doing this… Clothing Shop Clerk: Of course… and we’ll get something for your companion too, so please bring them along as well! You: Oh, right! Um… You: Eh?

Narration: …… Clothing Shop Clerk: Wow wow wow, that suits you perfectly… look at you two! Sadone: Ehehe! You: I- I wasn’t expecting to be renting a kimono too, but… Sadone: Onii-chan, it’s so cuuute! You: Y-Your Onii-chan isn’t cute. Sadone is the cutest ever, though! Sadone: Really?! You: Yup, really really. Sadone: Ehehe… Sadone is cuuuute!! Clothing Shop Clerk: Now then, my customers, go out there and have a good time. You: T-Thank you very much… Sadone: Let’s go, Onii-chan!

Ten minutes later…

Sadone: …… You: Sadone… Sadone: Sniffle… Sadone: My feet hurt… You: Yeah, wooden clogs are pretty painful if you’ve never worn them before. You: Alright, we’ve had plenty of fun in these kimonos, but now we should return them. Let’s head back to the store. Sadone: But… Sadone can’t walk… You: Huh?! Sadone: And Sadone doesn’t want to take it off either… You: S-Sadone… You: She’s dragging her feet, and certainly seems to be in pain… You: …I suppose it can’t be helped. You: Alright then, I guess I have to give you a piggyback ride.

Sadone: Wha… piggyback ride?! You: Yep. If you can’t walk, then it can’t be helped. Sadone: Yaaay! Onii-chan is gonna give Sadone a piggyback ride! Narration: Whoosh!!! You: Woaah! Take things a bit slower, or you might get hurt! You: Oof... Sadone: Ehehe, I’m so high up~♪ You: Y-You are. It’s a bit embarrassing, but you seem to be enjoying yourself, so it’s alright!

Sadone: Being on Onii-chan’s back makes Sadone sooo happy! Sadone: Let’s go! To the store, let’s goooo! You: It can’t be helped… Madam: Fufu, look. Big sister: The two of them are in kimonos… what a cute pair of siblings. You: We’re attracting a lot of attention, it’s kind of embarrassing, but… Sadone: Onii-chan’s back is so waaaarm. You: Sadone seems to be having fun… well, in her own way…

Ten minutes later…

You: Uwaa, it’s really crowded here… You: Sadone, please try not to get lost… Sadone: ONII-CHAN, LOOOOOK!! OVER THERE, THERE’S A CHOCOLATE STORE!!!! You: S-Sadone? Sadone: The writing says it’s a limited-time offer! Sadone can read it! Sadone: Limited time offer, limited time offer, that’s what it says! You: O-Oh… really? Sadone: Sadone’s gonna eat that chocolate! You come too, Onii-chan! Narration: She drags you along!!! You: WOAAOOAH!! Wait up, Sadone~!!

Choco-Cafe Clerk: This here is our limited New-Year’s edition cocoa. Sadone: Cocoa…! Choco-Cafe Clerk: And over here we have our limited New Year’s edition chocolate made with bamboo. Choco-Cafe Clerk: And this here is our special chef-made limited New Year’s edition cake made with mochi. Sadone: Sounds deliciousss ♪ You: My stomach is not gonna be happy about all these sweets… Sadone: Ehehe… this place is full of chocolate! Sadone is soooo happy! You: If Sadone is enjoying herself, I’m happy too, but… You: My wallet is going to be crushed after this… Choco-Cafe Clerk: Well then, our dear customers, please take your time and enjoy yourselves here. You: Yep, thank y…

Sadone: Wait. You: Sadone? Sadone: Miss Salesperson, why are you wearing a kimono? Choco-Cafe Clerk: Fufu, this is a limited-time thing. It’s just for the new year. You: That’s what I’d assumed earlier, but man, this store really likes their limited-time events… Sadone: It’s because it’s the New Year? Choco-Cafe Clerk: Yes. To bring in new good tidings, I’m wearing a gorgeous kimono. Sadone: I see. Sadone: …… You: Sadone? Sadone: Sadone… wants to wear a kimono too. You: Huuuh?! T-That’s…

Sadone: I WANNA WEAR ONE!! You: I- I can’t afford to buy her a kimono… what do I do…? Choco-Cafe Clerk: In that case, I’ve got the perfect shop for you! You: Huh? Choco-Cafe Clerk: Right now, the kimono shop on the upper floor is doing outfit rentals… for a limited-time only. You: It’s limited-time only there too…? Sadone: We can get a rental? Choco-Cafe Clerk: Yes! I’m sure you’ll find a cute kimono that suits you perfectly! Sadone: Waa… Sadone: Onii-chan, let’s gooo. You: W-Wait up, Sadone! Sadone: I’m not gonna wait! You: What about the chocolate?! The cocoa?!

Sadone: Ah… You: Don’t you want something to eat? Sadone: …Unyuu. Sadone: Sadone does wanna go eat chocolate… You: Whew… that’s a relief… Sadone: Choooomp ♪ Sadone: Ehehe, isn’t it tasty, Onii-chan?

The new year…

You: Uuu, it’s cold… You: Sadone went out and we promised to meet back here, but… she’s still out? Narration: WHAM!!! You: GAAH?! ???: Ehehehe…

Sadone: Got you! Onii-chan, I got youuu! You: …You sure did. That snowball was a clean hit to the face. You: I take it you’re feeling extra lively here at the start of the new year Sadone: Yup, Sadone’s super lively! Sadone: That’s why Sadone wants to have a snowball fight with Onii-chan! You: I’m not so sure there’s enough snow left around for us to have a proper snowball fight.

Sadone: There isn’t? You: Yeah. We’d probably only be able to throw about two balls before it’s over. Sadone: Oh… that’s a shame… Sadone: Then, maybe we could have a snowball fight inside the Sendoin Family Home… You: Huuh?! Inside the house?! Sadone: We could have it in my room, couldn’t we? Sadone: We have a machine that could make us plenty of snow. You: U-Uhhh… like the ones at artificial ski resorts? Just as you’d expect of the Sendoin family… Sadone: Artificial ski resort? You: Doesn’t matter. Why don’t we do something today that isn’t a snowball fight? You: What else does Sadone want to do? Sadone: Hmmm… Sadone wants…

Sadone: As long as I’m with Onii-chan, Sadone is happy doing anything! You: T-That’s very sweet of you, but doesn’t give me much to work with… You: Maybe we could do something related to the New Year’s festivities going on? Sadone: New Year’s… Sadone: Kagami mochi? A new year’s gift? Sadone: Onii-chan, did you get Sadone a new year’s gift? You: T-That’s… hahahaha!!!! I’m giving you the gift of a good time!!

Sadone: Hrm… You: O-Oh yeah! Since it doesn’t come around all that often, why don’t we go check out Hatsuuri? Sadone: Hatsuuri? You: At the beginning of the year, there’s lots of sales! I’m sure we’ll find plenty of lucky bargains! Sadone: The beginning… Sadone: Sadone wants to go to the beginning! You: Alright then… to the shopping mall we go!
