Yawn... I'm so sleepy...
Same... Yaaawn!
But you actually managed to get up early.
I mean, it's only 7...
I can get up early if I have to.
I set my alarm's volume to max.
(The truth is, I only woke up because Akito stormed into my room, snatched the blankets and told me to turn my alarm off...)
Also, you turned down my invite to hang out just because it was cold, but you're dragging me along shopping today.
You could've said no. Besides, if we had to wait in a line outside, I wouldn't have come either.
But you line up indoors for this, and the stores I want to go to are all conveniently located near each other.
Hmph. So you come here for the New Year's sales every year?
Yeah.
By the way, we need to come up with a plan.
You mean, plan out which stores to go to?
Yeah. I want the grab bags from this store and the ones on the second floor. As much as I want to check out accessories and stuff, the cosmetics grab bags are my top priority.
I want to see a few apparel shops on the second floor too, so we can go together.
No accessories?
Yeah. It's not that I'm not interested, but it's no biggie. I could definitely use more cosmetics, so I'm going for those too.
Okay. We still need to think about where each of us has to go after this one.
Yeah. We gotta be efficient to get everything we want before it's all gone♪
Oh, hey. They should be opening soon.
You're right. Time really flies when you're strategizing.
Everyone waiting looks so excited too.
I'm starting to get pretty excited!
Me too.
Thank you for your patience!
We are now starting our grab bag sales!
(Finally!)
Got our first one♪
Cool! I'll go to the next place on our list!
Okay! Let me know if anything happens!
The third store on our list is...
Here! The one Mizuki wanted!
Great, they still have their white outfit sets too!
Okay, got it. Next is...
Hm? A message? Maybe it's from Mizuki...
<They're running out of everything M-sized at the store you like!>
No way! They didn't sell this fast last year!
<Forget the cosmetics! See if you can still get anything in M for me!>
<You got it♪>
Mizuki, you're my only hope.
Alright, next for me is...!
Oh, Mizuki...! I'm over here!
Looks like we got everything we wanted!
Now, let's check out the spoils♪
Hold on. This is an M bag, right?
Why is there L-sized stuff mixed in...?!
Hahaha. Bummer!
This isn't funny! Ugh... That store's too far to go bother asking for an exchange...
Why don't you give the ones that are too big for you to Mafuyu? They'd suit her.
You're right... But do you think she'd want them?
Who knows? Dang, this white dress would look better on Miku than me.
Ena, can we go over to SEKAI for a bit?
Mafuyu might just be there too.
Now...?
Oh...
Hello, Ena and Mizuki. I wasn't expecting you today...
Just a spur-of-the-moment, you know...
You're carrying lots of bags... Are we having another party?
No, not today...
Oh, Mafuyu and Kanade are here...
Wait, Ena and Mizuki are here too...?
We went to New Year's sales and a dress I got from a grab bag seems perfect for Miku, so we came to see her!
What about you, Kanade?
I got a New Year's decoration as a freebie from a convenience store. I thought Miku might like it.
A New Year's decoration?
It's just something you usually put by the door...
And you...?
We had a family gathering. It ended, so I came here...
Oh, okay. But you look even gloomier than usual...
Well, anyway... Wanna see what clothes we got? It might cheer you up.
No thanks...
But the M-sized grab bag had L-sized stuff mixed in. Can you believe it?
No need to show me.
Come on, it won't hurt to take a look! Here!
Phew... I'm spent.
Why does Mafuyu have to make things so difficult? That dress was made for her and she just flat out refused...
Hm? A message? Maybe it's from Mizuki...
Oh...!
<A belated Happy New Year, Ena!>
It's from Airi...!
...
<And Happy New Year to you! I'm looking forward to our shopping trips this year too!>
