The Warmest Day of This Year (3rd Anniversary Login Story)

=====1=====

Tsuruno
Iroha-chan, stop!

Iroha
Y, yes!?

Sana
Don't move from there...
On the desk, will you blow on that pinwheel...?

Iroha
Eh!?
S, sure but... why...?

Felicia
It's for gettin' ready-!

Sana
Ah... d, don't Felicia-san...

Felicia
Oops, that was close-!

Iroha
...?

Ui
Here, onee-chan, just blow on it with a fuu!

Iroha
Y, yeah...
fu, fuuu--!!

[rattle rattle rattle...]

Tsuruno
Ohh, it spins a lot!

Sana
Felicia-san, it's just about...

Felicia
It works pretty well, don't it!

Ui
It's good since it matches Felicia-san.

Tsuruno
Well then, thank you for your cooperation Iroha-chan!

Iroha
Y, yeah...
What was that...?


=====2=====

Voice on Television
Now, what's popular in the convenience store rankings.
First place is... shortcake!

Felicia
That got first place, huh.

Sana
Even though there's many types of cakes, that still got first place.

Ui
It really did.~

Yachiyo
What do you think, Iroha? About shortcake.

Iroha
I love it.

Yachiyo
I see, then that's good.

Tsuruno
Once you go one lap around, you end up stuck on the road of loyalty, huh!

Iroha
Ah, I get that.
Even if you can't decide on special sweets...
The shortcake I eat sometimes is still number one, after all.

Yachiyo
So that's what is it, then.

Iroha
Now that we're talking about it, I want to eat some.
Yachiyo-san, why don't we all make a cake together right now!?

Yachiyo
...No way.

Iroha
Eh?

Yachiyo
The shortcake you eat occasionally is number one, right?

Iroha
Yes.

Yachiyo
Then have a little patience.

Iroha
H, how much...

Yachiyo
A little is a little, that day will come soon.

Iroha
Ha, haa...
I understand...


=====3=====

Yachiyo
Here we go...

Tsuruno
Yachiyo-, what are you up to?

Yachiyo
I'm taking the laundry.

Sana
Huh?
I'm positive... today's laundry duty isn't Yachiyo-san...

Tsuruno
Today's laundry duty is definitely...
Ah, I see...

Sana
That's right...
I'll help you, too...!

Yachiyo
You sure?
Thank you.

Tsuruno
Leave it to me!
By the way, Yachiyo, did you decide about "that?"

Yachiyo
...Actually I haven't.
I can't think of the right one...

Sana
We can't ask the person herself since she isn't here...

Yachiyo
I just need to know what that girl wants...
...Futaba-san, I got it, socks...

Sana
Eh, these?

Yachiyo
That girl's... Iroha's... right?

Sana
That's right...

Tsuruno
It's her favorite, right?

Yachiyo
Compared to before... they look... a little old, dont they?

Sana
Yes... they do...
It's hard to tell at a glance... but they do seem like it.

Tsuruno
Iroha-chan takes good care of her possessions, huh-.

Yachiyo
...But, as expected, it feels like it's time to buy new ones.
.....Hey, this... I wonder if this wouldn't be bad!

Tsuruno
Ah, that's right-! Good idea!

Sana
Then it's decided...!

Iroha
(I came to get the laundry since it's my turn, but...)
(Why are Yachiyo-san and everyone...)
(showing each other my socks...?)


=====4=====

Yachiyo
Everyone, listen. A terrible problem has surfaced.

Tsuruno
What what-?

Yachiyo
How to call her name while singing... I wonder if it will fall apart.

Tsuruno
...?

Yachiyo
For example, I always drop it, but... Tsuruno?

Tsuruno
I...
Attach the basic "chan" to it.

Sana
I... attach "san..."

Felicia
I drop it!

Ui
Everyone is different, then. I say "onee-chan" myself...

Sana
We're disconnected, then...

Tsuruno
The end of the song... will sound awful...!

Ui
Maybe we should unify...

Felicia
What would we unify on?

Yachiyo
For a time like this, I wonder if we should drop it...

Sana
Attaching san would be too formal, wouldn't it...

Tsuruno
Then, we should attach chan!

Ui
Saying chan... sounds... a little weird to me...

Felicia
It does.

Yachiyo
Then let's practice to get used to it.

Iroha
Ah, I wonder what everyone is talking about...

Yachiyo
Iroha-chan...

Sana
Iroha-chan...

Felicia
Iroha-chan...

Ui
Iroha-chan...

Iroha
Wh, what is this...?


=====5=====

Iroha
(Recently, everyone has been acting strange...)
(It's like they're trying to hide something...)
(What could it be...)
(It's no use... I dont have any idea...)
Alright, today is the day...!

-black background-

Iroha
E, everyone! We need to talk!!
H, huh...? It's pitch black...?

Everyone
[Happy birthday to you♪]

Iroha
Eh!?

Everyone
[Happy birthday to you♪]
[Happy birthday dear~♪]

Iroha
You mean...!

Everyone
[Irohachaaan~♪]
[Happy birthday tooo... youuuu♪]

Ui
Here, onee-chan, a whole cake!

Iroha
Wa, my patience brought me a strawberry shortcake...!

Sana
The candle, please blow it out.

Iroha
It's a very big candle, but.. can I extinguish it.

Felicia
Same as me, you're the same as me! I believe in your lung capacity!

Iroha
Y, yeah...? I get it...
Fuuu!!

[Poof...]

Iroha
Haa... somehow I was able to blow it out.

Tsuruno
Then once again...

Everyone
Otanjoubi omedetou!! (*Happy birthday)

Iroha
Th, thank you...

Yachiyo
Here, Iroha, your present.

Iroha
Ah, socks...!
I wanted new ones!
They're just like my favorite kind... cute...!

Yachiyo
Huhu...
Shall we take a photo?

Iroha
That was it... today, was my birthday.
I had completely forgotten...

Ui
Ehh, I thought you had already noticed!

Tsuruno
Well, that's why, Iroha-chan!

Felicia
I hope Iroha stays like this forever!

Sana
Even though it's your birthday, I hope things stay the same...

Yachiyo
Huhu... then I'll take the picture now...

Click

Iroha
Again... everyone, thank you.
I'm so, happy...
This present too... I'll use them carefully.
That's it!
I wonder if I should wear them at the upcoming festival♪
