Ten minutes later…
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…

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?
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!
