Iroha's Winter Costume Story

Iroha's Winter Clothing Story - Nothing in Particular but it was a Special Day


Iroha: Um...All that's left is...
Sana: ...Iroha-san, would it be alright... if we put in some white fish too...?
Iroha: Of course! Today is luxury day, after all. We have to put some ingredients Sana-chan likes in the hot pot too.
Sana: Thank you so much...!

>Iroha: Luxury day... It's a day where it's okay if we eat hot pot with a lot of ingredients at the kotatsu we just pulled out and eat ice cream while lounging around!
>Yachiyo-san gave us her approval just this once since we brought out the kotatsu!

Iroha: What should we have as the last one...
Sana: It'd taste great, regardless of whether we decide to put in zosui or udon noodles...! [1]
Iroha: H---m... Well we came all this way. Should we put both in?
Sana: ...Eh!? B, Both?
Iroha: Yeah! It depends on your tastes, but... it tastes good if you eat mushy udon noodles and the rice from the zosui together.
Sana: .................... I'm a bit curious now...!
Iroha: Then let's buy some frozen udon noodles.
Sana: Yes...!


Iroha: I'm pretty sure we had rice frozen in the fridge... so is this everything?
Sana: Iroha-san...u, um...
Iroha: What's wrong?
Sana: We haven't bought the ice cream...
Iroha: Ah! You're right! Luxury day can't start unless we buy the ice cream.
Sana: Ah... look over there...! There's a lot of different kinds of ice cream here...!
Iroha: Yeah. Sana-chan, what do you like?
Sana: M, Me...? Um... I... Ah...! Strawberry milk flavored...
Iroha: This one, right?
Sana: Ah, b, but... it's okay......since they're all expensive...
Iroha: ........... You don't have to worry about that.
Sana: B, But... won't she get mad at us...?
Iroha: Eh...? ...Ah...h, h--m... (True, seeing how frugal Yachiyo-san normally is does make me nervous about this, but...) Ahh! There's matcha flavored ice cream by the same maker...! Yachiyo-san loves matcha, so if we buy this we should be okay!
Sana: Are you sure...?
Iroha: Yeah! Besides, it's luxury day, right? Maybe I'll have the vanilla flavored one by this maker.
Sana: ......Okay!
Iroha: Fufuu. Let's pick Felicia and Tsuruno's too.



Felicia: Haaaah~~! Man, I really ate! That hot pot was really good~!
Yachiyo: Hey! You're supposed to say "thanks for the meal", right? [2]
Felicia: ...Ugh. Thanks for the meal.
Yachiyo: Yes. Thank you for the meal.
Tsuruno: Thanks for the meal--! Now, now then, Iroha-chan! It's time for the much anticipated...
Iroha: Yeah! Ice cream, right?
Sana: I, Iroha-san and I chose...
Yachiyo: ----!? T, This is...!
Tsuruno: High class ice cream!
Felicia: Yesssss--! Good job, Iroha! If it were Yachiyo, she wouldn't've picked these.
Yachiyo: ..........
Sana: --!? A, Are you angry...?
Iroha: Y, Yachiyo-san...! You see...
Yachiyo: ...Fufuu. I'm not mad. After all, today is luxury day. We have to treat ourselves once in a while, right?
Iroha: Yes!
Yachiyo: However, Felicia. You said a bit more than you should have.
Felicia: So you ARE angry!
Tsuruno: Hey, hey, which one's mine?
Iroha: Tsuruno-chan, yours is the kyoho grape flavored one! It's your favorite, right?
Yachiyo: Then, is mine the matcha flavored one?
Iroha: That's right!
Sana: ...Mine is the strawberry milk flavored one and Iroha-san's is vanilla...
Felicia: Then, mine is... cookies and cream?
Iroha: Yeah, Felicia-chan, you'll eat any kind of ice cream, but this ice cream looks like cowskin, doesn't it?
Felicia: It does! From now on, my favorite's gonna be cookies and cream!
Iroha: Fufuu. Then, let's eat!


"Thanks for the food!"


>Iroha: It'd be nice if... these special days where nothing really happens would last forever...



===========================================

[1]= Zosui, according to Wikipedia "is a Japanese rice soup made from pre-cooked rice and water."
[2]= For those who are curious, Yachiyo gets on Felicia's case for not saying "gochisou-sama" here. Later, when the girls are ready to eat ice cream, they say "itadakimasu".
I couldn't really think of two different ways to say "thanks for the meal/food" that didn't sound awful, so I decided to just write this note instead.
