Amane Tsukasa (Winter Clothes)

[Some day in February, 7:00]

Tsukasa
.....
Alright, if I just get to each of these shops in order, there should be enough time!
The decisive battle is after school!

[At long last, the appreciation sale at the handicraft store. With all the pocket money I've saved little by little, I can get all the materials I want!]
[For reference...]
["Bibi's" reader model "Nanami Yachiyo's" winter fashion!]
[She's my rival as a mahou shoujo, but I want to use her fashion sense for reference.]

Tsukasa
A cute scarf going round and round and a thick leather belt...
I can't buy the real thing, but
as a craftsman's daughter I'll make it myself!
(If I start making it now, I'll be in time for Valentine's Day.)
(My next meeting with Tsukuyo-chan is depending on my new outfit!)

[Some day in February, 16:20, 2:10 remains]

Girl
Heey, Tsu Kaa Saa!
(...Huh, she's gone!)

Tsukasa
Huhu...!
First objective: escape classmates. I've broken through the first barrier!
(Ignore the calls and dash past the back gate after school!)
Next is...the limited-time meat sale!

[Some day in February, 17:00, 1:30 remains]

Tsukasa
Alright, just in time...!
You did your best! My first electric bike-kun!

[The purpose of this trip to Kyoto Ward was... to line up for the limited-time meat sale!]
[I really want to get to the handicraft shop soon, but]
[making dinner for all the students is part of my important job.]

Tsukasa
(Otou-chan, he's always telling me it's on sale.)
(I have to be home by 18:30 at the latest...!)
Huh...Eh?

Yachiyo
.....

Tsukasa
That is...Nanami Yachiyo!?
Why does she have to be in a place like this...?
---!?
(She's lined up for the meat...!?)
(Her flowing movements are to just get super bargain goods!)
(That woman...can do it!)
No no, I am not interested!
I've gotta finish here in a snap and get to the handicraft store!

Yachiyo
.....?

[Some day in February, 17:30, 1:00 remains. Unforseen circumstances occur.]

???
Huh? Tsukasa-chan!?

[Eh...this voice is...]

Tsukasa
Take-san!? Why are you here?

Take
Nothin', Otou-san just asked me to deliver something.
Tsukasa-chan out shopping?

Tsukasa
Yeah, for the time-limited meat sale!
Tonight's sukiyaki, so look forward to it!

Take
Oh, that's nice! I'll be anticipating it!
I'll be back in the studio around 18:00.
Well, see you then!

Tsukasa
.....
(...I, saw him off with a smile, but...)

[This is the worst!]
[One of the students has seen me near the house now!]
[If I head to the handicraft store now, it'll be explosed that I took a detour to dawdle around!]
[The limit is 18:00 huuh...]

[Some day in February, 17:50

Tsukasa
Haa...haa...I made it in time!
The scarf and belt materials...from the handicraft store are now safe and secure!
It only took 20 minutes to get to the checkout, it's a miracle!

Yachiyo
.....

Tsukasa
...Again with Nanami Yachiyo!?
(And spilling out of that shopping bag of hers is a ton of wool and leather...)
(Exactly what I got!?)
(The outfit that she modeled, she didn't buy it at all, she made it...)
(I feel a...weird sense of affinity.)
Ha...! I can't be standing still.
Let's go, my first electric bike! Now I should be able to get home without being suspicious!

Yachiyo
.....?

[The grand strategy for getting a handmade outfit is completed successfully!]
[Quickly knitting a scarf that's round and round and using the studio's tools for the thick leather belt, I finished it as perfectly as I could ever want...]

[February 14, 18:20]

Tsukuyo & Tsukasa
.....

Tsukasa
[Somehow, we peacefully (?) were able to celebrate Valentine's Day together with a smile.]
[So that's why, to everyone out there...]

Tsukuyo & Tsukasa
Happy Valentine!!
