Sayaka: "When winter comes, spring isn't far behind"
Sayaka: I learned the meaning of this phrase  sometime at the end of last December.
Sayaka: It was just before New Year's Eve, and I was worried.
Madoka: Hey, does anyone have plans for New Year's Eve?
Homura: I don't think I've got anything planned...
Sayaka: Nothing on my side either... What's up?
Madoka: Well, since it's winter break and all—
Madoka: I thought it'd be great if we could all go somewhere together.
Sayaka: Ooh, sounds good!
Mami: True, it's winter vacation after all.
Mami: However... there are witches to deal with.
Mami: It might be hard for everyone to leave Mitakihara  at once.
Madoka: I see...
Kyoko: Hey, no need for a field trip just  'cause it's New Year's.
Kyoko: Best bet is to lounge around the house all day.
Sayaka: Aah... then just like this year, next year we won't be able to go anywhere either.
Sayaka: Oh, a message...
Sayaka: From Kyousuke?
Kyousuke: "So, about New Year's Eve,  wanna go together to our  first shrine visit of the year?"
Sayaka: .....No way!
Madoka: What is it, Sayaka?
Sayaka: Umm...
Sayaka: Kyousuke just invited me to go to our first shrine  visit of the year...
Sayaka: He says we can offer our greetings too...
Sayaka: Well, we're childhood friends, so it's normal  to go to our first shrine visit together...
Mami: Since it's a special occasion, how about wearing a haregi?
Sayaka: H-Haregi...?
Mami: I think it's a great idea.
Mami: After all, New Year's Eve is basically your only  chance to wear one.
Sayaka: Now hold on, wouldn't that be too much?
Sayaka: We're only gonna offer our greetings...
Sayaka: I don't wanna get carried away...
Madoka: I think it's okay to be excited though.
Sayaka: Yeah, but...
Madoka: I think that wearing a haregi is something very important to any girl...
Madoka: ...and I'm sure it would suit Sayaka too!
Homura: ...Yes, I think so too.
Sayaka: But you see...
Kyoko: Sayaka in a haregi, huh?  Doesn't seem like your style...
Sayaka: Shut up... I got it already.
Sayaka: This conversation is over!

*School chime*
Madoka: Sayaka! Let's go have lunch!
Sayaka: Sure thing!
Homura: Is it okay if I join you...?
Sayaka: Of course!
Sayaka: Right then!  Today's lunch is...
What?!  Such a waste!!
Sayaka: (...Huh?)
Since your first shrine visit is a date,  you obviously have to wear a haregi!!
Sayaka: ?!
But...
Look, just check this out!
What's with the magazine?
"All the Little Haregi Gestures to NAIL your  New Year's Date"...?
Look, just read it.
...For sure, none of these tactics would work  unless you had a haregi on.
........ and it's very cute...
Yeah... if it's a New Year's date,  I gotta go with a haregi...
Sayaka: (What kind of magazine is that...!)
Sayaka: (I can't read it from here...)
Madoka: ...S-Sayaka?
Sayaka: Yeah?
Madoka: What's gotten into you?  You've been staring all this time...
Sayaka: O-Oh, nothing important!
Sayaka: Don't worry about it!
Homura: .....
Sayaka: W-What is it, Homura?
Homura: Could you possibly be thinking about the haregi? Those girls over there were talking about it...
Madoka: Is that so? I didn't notice them at all.
Madoka: ...Ah, Sayaka, are you gonna wear one after all?
Sayaka: I said I wouldn't!
Sayaka: It's true that hearing them talk about it caught my attention...
Sayaka: ...but that was sheer curiosity, that's all!
Sayaka: It has nothing to do with me wearing one or not!

FILENAME: text_324001-3.txt
Sayaka: .........
Since your first shrine visit is a date,  you obviously have to wear a haregi!!
Sayaka: ('You have to wear one' is a bit too much...)
Sayaka: (...A-and, it's not a date)
........ and it's very cute...
Yeah... if it's a New Year's date,  I gotta go with a haregi...
Sayaka: (But she didn't have to go as far as to say that...)
Madoka: Sayaka,  what are you doing after school today?
Sayaka: ...Hmm?
Madoka: You're spacing out again...
Sayaka: Sorry, sorry. I was thinking of something else...
Homura: Sayaka, are you perhaps...
Homura: ...still thinking about the haregi?
Sayaka: Aah... yeah....  that's right.
Sayaka: It's just as you say, Homura.
Sayaka: It's been on my mind ever since I heard those girls  at lunch.
Sayaka: As to the reason why, I don't get it myself...
Madoka: Well then, why don't we go look at some?
Sayaka: Look, I'm just curious, okay? It's not like I wanna wear one.
Madoka: Just looking is fine-- I'm interested too.
Sayaka: Well, in that case...
Madoka: That settles it!
Madoka: Let me look for a kimono shop nearby.
Madoka: ...Yeah, this is the place that came up online.
Homura: What a large shop...
Sayaka: Yeah, but more importantly...
Sayaka: This place is packed!!
Sayaka: We'll be lucky to get one foot in the door!
Homura: With New Year's Eve approaching, this might be their busiest season...
Madoka: What do we do, Sayaka?
Sayaka: .....
Sayaka: Let's stop here.
Madoka: Huh? After we came all the way here?
Sayaka: It's fine, it's fine.
Sayaka: I was just a bit curious about it, is all.
Sayaka: And with this timing, and one problem coming  after the other...
Sayaka: Maybe I'm not fated to wear a haregi after all.
Homura: But...
Sayaka: Sorry for dragging you all the way out here. Let's go home.

FILENAME: text_324001-4.txt
Madoka: See you, Sayaka!
Sayaka: See you tomorrow!
Homura: ...Are you sure about the haregi thing?
Sayaka: Like I said, you worry too much.
Sayaka: See you later!
Homura: ...Okay.
Sayaka: Right. Homeward ho!
Sayaka: Ahh... it's super cold...
Sayaka: I'm gonna freeze to death if I don't get home fast...
Madoka: I think that wearing a haregi is something very important to any girl...
Madoka: ...and I'm sure it would suit Sayaka too!
Sayaka: Maybe I'm not fated to wear a haregi after all.
Homura: ...Are you sure about the haregi thing?
Sayaka: Forget about it already, me! You're worrying too much about it!
Sayaka: ...Wait, what? This place is...
Sayaka: A kimono shop...? I never noticed it before...
Sayaka: ......... .........
Sayaka: (That's a LOT of kimonos...)
Sayaka: (But unlike that other store, there's nobody here...)
Sayaka: Ah, this long-sleeved "furisode" is really pretty.
That's no "furisode"-- it's a semi-formal "houmongi".
Sayaka: Y-yeah, I guess you're right...
Sayaka: (Oh crap...! It's the shopkeeper!)
If you're looking for a furisode or a New Year's  haregi, they're at the end of the corridor.
Sayaka: ...Yes ma'am!
Sayaka: (Scary!! What's the deal with her anyway?!)
Sayaka: (It's true that I don't know anything about kimonos, but is that the attitude you have with a customer?!)
Sayaka: (But... god knows what she'll say if I refuse...)
Sayaka: (I'll just take a little peek...)
Sayaka: Man, this place sure is dark...
Sayaka: In any case, where on earth are the hare... gi...
Sayaka: .........
Sayaka: I was so awestruck by the vision before me, I couldn't utter a word.
Sayaka: Over there was an incredibly pretty blue haregi...
Sayaka: In fact, it had been decided that  that blue haregi would follow me for a while.
Sayaka: .........so pretty...
.........
Sayaka: To showcase myself in a haregi... I don't think I can pull it off, honestly.

FILENAME: text_324002-1.txt
Sayaka: ......... .........
Madoka: Ah, Sayaka, good morning!
Sayaka: .........
Madoka: Huh...? Sayaka!
Sayaka: ...Huh?
Sayaka: Good morning, Madoka.
Homura: Good morning, Sayaka.
Sayaka: Morning to you too, Homura.
Sayaka: .........
Madoka: S-Sayaka...?
Sayaka: Hmmm?
Madoka: Is there... something on your mind?
Madoka: You've been spacing out since yesterday...
Madoka: Did something happen?
Sayaka: ...Yeah. The truth is...
Homura: A blue haregi... That sounds perfect for you.
Sayaka: It was really pretty!
Sayaka: I wish I could put it into words...
Homura: I wouldn't have guessed a store with a haregi  like that would be empty.
Sayaka: Yeah...
Sayaka: I was the only one there. Kinda weird when you think about it.
Madoka: I think I know that store...
Sayaka: Madoka, you know the place?
Madoka: Yeah, they handle good merch,
Madoka: but I've heard rumors about the owner  being very particular.
Sayaka: Hmm?
Sayaka: Isn't being particular the reason why she handles  such good merch?
Madoka: Um...
Madoka: Apparently the owner chooses who she'll sell stuff to.
Madoka: Like this one time, someone ordered a really pretty kimono,
Madoka: But the owner wouldn't sell it  because the buyer was "unworthy".
Sayaka: It's true that the owner was pretty intimidating...
Sayaka: But saying she rejects customers seems a bit too much...
Sayaka: Though it would explain why the place was empty.
Homura: What did you think when you actually met her?
Sayaka: It's true that she was obstinate and stubborn...
Sayaka: but not as much as these stories make her sound.
Sayaka: I spent a long time yesterday looking at that haregi,
Sayaka: but she didn't chew me out or anything.
Madoka: Maybe she'd have said something  if you actually tried to buy it.
Sayaka: You might be right...
Sayaka: .....
Sayaka: W-well, I don't even know if I'm buying it or not...
Madoka: But if I were to see you in a haregi,
Madoka: I'd be really happy!
Sayaka: Yeah, yeah. Just don't get your hopes up, okay?

FILENAME: text_324002-2.txt
Madoka: See you, Sayaka!
Homura: See you tomorrow.
Sayaka: See ya~
Sayaka: ...Right! No detours today, going straight home.
Sayaka: ......... .........
Sayaka: ...Wait, what?
Sayaka: (I ended up coming here without realizing it...)
Sayaka: (Well, since I'm here,  maybe I'll go take another look at that haregi.)
Sayaka: (...But I'd be in the way, wouldn't I?)
Sayaka: (And I wouldn't want the owner getting mad at me  this time...)
Sayaka: Okay, I'll go home.
Sayaka: Even after I got home, thoughts about that haregi filled my mind.
Sayaka: While eating dinner, or watching TV, that haregi was all I could think about.
Sayaka: To clear the air,  I summoned my courage and told my parents about the haregi,  but...
Sayaka: They accepted the idea so easily I could hardly believe it. At that moment, I realized:
Sayaka: I no longer had any reason to deny that haregi.
Sayaka: It was surprising how much that realization brightened my mood.
Sayaka: Then, I imagined the haregi-wearing me, and Kyousuke during our first shrine visit of the year.
Sayaka: ―Sayaka― Honestly, what am I thinking?
Sayaka: ―Sayaka― Besides, ANYBODY could wear that haregi  and impress him!
Sayaka: ―Sayaka― I mean, that haregi is so pretty after all...
Sayaka: ―Sayaka― And wearing it during our first shrine visit of the year  would be so much fun.
Sayaka: ―Sayaka― .........
Sayaka: ―Sayaka― Right.  I've known for a while.
Sayaka: ―Sayaka― I want to wear that haregi.

FILENAME: text_324002-3.txt
Sayaka: ...It's not here.
Sayaka: (I guess that's the only store that manages it...)
Sayaka: (Well then, time to woman up  and march right over there.)
Sayaka: Once my mind was made up, I didn't hesitate.
Sayaka: I wanted to wear a haregi, and I wanted it to be that blue one.
Sayaka: But...
Sayaka: .........
Sayaka: Okay, in we go...
Sayaka: .........
Sayaka: ...Going in next time for sure.
Sayaka: …………
Sayaka: This is hopeless...
Sayaka: (What if she turns me down...?)
Sayaka: (What if she says something like "You're not  worthy!" I wouldn't be able to recover from that...)
Kyoko: Yo, Sayaka?
Sayaka: This voice...
Kyoko: What are you doing in a place like this?
Sayaka: A, aah... nothing in particular...
Kyoko: ...Hmmm?
Kyoko: What is this place?
Kyoko: Is this... a kimono shop?
Kyoko: Sayaka, don't tell me...
Sayaka: ...?!
Sayaka: What, you got a problem with that?
Kyoko: Huh?? I didn't say anything--
Kyoko: H-hey, Sayaka!
Sayaka: *pant* *pant*
Kyoko: Sa-ya-ka!!
Sayaka: Oh crap!
Sayaka: Umm... Book store! Hiding place! Right!
Sayaka: Phew.
Sayaka: (I ended up making a run for it... but, it can't be helped.)
Sayaka: (And I made up my mind to wear the haregi, but...)
Kyoko: Sayaka in a haregi, huh?  Doesn't seem like your style...
Sayaka: (I know she'll make fun of me if she finds out...!)
Sayaka: For the time being, I'll wait for her to leave.
Sayaka: ...Ah.
Sayaka: Isn't this that magazine...?

FILENAME: text_324002-4.txt
Sayaka: Isn't this that magazine...?
What's with the magazine?
"All the Little Haregi Gestures to NAIL your  New Year's Date"...?
Sayaka: That's right, I already made up my mind.
Sayaka: All I gotta do is execute. And maybe do a little research first...
Sayaka: Um... "10th Place Tactic."
Sayaka: "I prayed to the gods for our happiness to last  forever."
Sayaka: N-no way I'm saying that out loud!!
Sayaka: Are guys actually supposed to enjoy hearing this stuff...?
Sayaka: ...Wait, there's more.
Sayaka: "Praying sincerely is what's important!"
Sayaka: "If he asks what you wished for, answer with this  line!"
Sayaka: "Your wish is a secret, so get close to his ear  and whisper it for extra points!"
Sayaka: And that's TENTH place?!  That's too hardcore for me...
Sayaka: But, the models in the picture seem to be doing  okay...
Sayaka: So cute...
Sayaka: (In the end, some girls just look better in haregi  than others.)
Sayaka: (Those that look good are like these girls in the magazine.)
Sayaka: (They are just totally different from me...)
Sayaka: I'm going home.
Kyoko: Hey, Sayaka!
Sayaka: Kyoko...
Kyoko: I finally found you. Don't run off like that.
Sayaka: Sorry...
Kyoko: ...So, what's wrong?
Sayaka: Nothing, really...
Sayaka: I just realized I made a mistake...
Kyoko: A mistake?
Sayaka: Yeah.
Sayaka: You said it yourself, remember?
Sayaka: Wearing a haregi isn't really my style...
Kyoko: Haregi...?
Kyoko: Is this about that conversation back at Mami's  place?
Sayaka: Yeah...
Kyoko: Wait, is that why you were at that kimono shop?
Kyoko: ...Sayaka, have you decided to wear a haregi?
Sayaka: Up until a moment ago, yeah.
Sayaka: But that's over and done with. Sorry, I'll get going now.
Kyoko: Huh? Where are you going?
Sayaka: I'm going home!
Sayaka: Ah, sorry for running away from you like that. See ya!
Kyoko: Man, what was that all about...?
Sayaka: Why on earth is it so difficult to be honest...?

FILENAME: text_324003-1.txt
Madoka: So, are you gonna give up on the haregi after all?
Sayaka: That's right.
Mami: Well, haregi certainly aren't the cheapest things  to buy.
Mami: I can see why they're daunting...
Sayaka: Yeah, but my parents agreed to buy one for me...
Mami: In that case, why not buy it?
Sayaka: How to say it...
Sayaka: I was thinking a haregi wouldn't really suit me.
Mami: I see...
*Ding dong*
Mami: Aah, that must be Kyoko.
Homura: Are you sure you wanna give up...?
Sayaka: How come you seem so disappointed?
Homura: Well...
Homura: Whenever you talked about that blue haregi,
Homura: You seemed so happy...
Sayaka: .....
Sayaka: It's true that I have some degree of regret letting  it go...
Kyoko: Then let's go check it out right now.
Sayaka: Kyoko...
Sayaka: Do you mean going to that kimono shop?
Kyoko: Duh. There isn't any other place.
Sayaka: But I...
Sayaka: ...already gave up on wearing a haregi.
Kyoko: That old lady said the store is going out of business today.
Sayaka: Eh...?
Kyoko: The other day, after you left...
Kyoko: I was worried enough to go to the shop by myself.
Kyoko: That's when she told me about it.
Sayaka: .....
Kyoko: I wasn't told the details, but it's important to you,  isn't it?
Sayaka: .....
Kyoko: Sayaka
Sayaka: ...I got it. Let's go.

FILENAME: text_324003-2.txt
Sayaka: ......... ...Okay, here I go.
Kyoko: Right.
Kyoko: I wonder if she's really okay...?
Kyoko: Though for a haregi to catch her attention like that...
Kyoko: It's gotta be something wild. Maybe I should go look myself later...
Sayaka: .........
Kyoko: Well, how did it go?
Sayaka: .........It's gone.
Sayaka: That haregi is... gone!!
Kyoko: I see... maybe they sold it already.
What are you girls up to?
Rushing into the store, and out again.
And now raising a ruckus outside my store...
Sayaka: I-I'm sorry...!
Kyoko: Hey, ask her about that haregi.
Sayaka: Okay...
Sayaka: Um, excuse me!
What is it?
Sayaka: About that blue haregi that was inside the store...
Oh, I put that one away.
I'm closing up shop soon, so the inventory is getting dealt with bit by bit.
Sayaka: I see...
Did you come to buy it?
Sayaka: ...No, not exactly...
Sayaka: Oh, right.
Sayaka: Why is the store closing down?
Simple enough-- sales are slow these days.
Of course, I know why.
This is what happens when you choose your  customers.
We're closing down because I stuck with the way I  do things.
Sayaka: The way you do things... huh...
That's right.
Obsessing over my goods, picking who I sell them to-- that's my way.
...Or so I thought, but I wasn't being honest.
I wanted to see as many people as possible wearing  my kimonos.
But I couldn't express that, to the very end.
And here we are.
Maybe if I hadn't let my pride do the talking,
and had been a bit more honest, things would have turned out different...
Sayaka: .........

FILENAME: text_324003-3.txt
Sayaka: .........
Sayaka: (...Is my pride doing the talking too...?)
Sayaka: (It's true that the moment I realized the haregi was gone,)
Sayaka: (I really regretted it.)
Sayaka: (If giving up on that haregi means going back to  how I was feeling before,)
Sayaka: (I better let the real me do the talking instead.)
Sayaka: (Time to be honest, and say what I really feel.)
Sayaka: ...Um, I...
What is it?
Sayaka: The truth is, that blue haregi...
Sayaka: Ever since I first saw it, I haven't been able to get it out of my head.
Sayaka: I had never been interested in that sort of thing  until now,
Sayaka: but for some reason, that haregi is different...
Sayaka: For some reason, just by looking at it... I feel more confident in myself.
Sayaka: That's why I want to go to my first shrine visit in that haregi, with my head held high...
Sayaka: But I'm not sure if it would really suit me...
Sayaka: In any case, it's been bugging me a lot.
Sayaka: In the end, I guess I wanna wear it so much I can't  take it...
Sayaka: So please!
Sayaka: Won't you please sell me that haregi?!
.........
Of course.
Sayaka: Huh? I-is it really okay...?
You want it, don't you?
Sayaka: I do, but...
Sayaka: I'm sorry, it's just that since I heard you choose your customers...
You heard right.
I only take customers --
-- who want their kimonos from the bottom of their hearts.
And you've already checked that box.
Sayaka: Thank you so much...
No need to worry yourself so much.
As they say, "When winter comes, spring isn't far behind."
Sayaka: Huh? What does that mean?
It means that the greater the struggle, the greater the happiness it earns you.
This has been bugging you for a while, hasn't it?
Then I'm sure, with the worrying behind you, and  this haregi in hand...
You're sure to find happiness ahead.
Sayaka: ...Yeah!!

＜Several Days Later...＞
Sayaka: "It's a bit tight..."
"It's as tight as it should be."
Sayaka: "O-okay..."
"There, all done. Now, go show your friends."
Sayaka: ―Sayaka― How... is it?
Homura: ―Homura― .....it's so pretty...
Sayaka: ―Sayaka― R-really?
Madoka: ―Madoka― Yeah! It's really pretty!
Sayaka: ―Sayaka― Ahaha... I see...
Mami: ―Mami― Is this the haregi you were talking about, Sayaka?
Sayaka: ―Sayaka― Y-yeah... How does it look?
Mami: ―Mami― It really is pretty just like you said. And it looks wonderful on you.
Sayaka: ―Sayaka― Hey, now you're going too far...
Kyoko: ―Kyoko― Yup, going too far.
Sayaka: ―Sayaka― I knew it...
Kyoko: ―Kyoko― But well... I sure couldn't pull that off.
Kyoko: ―Kyoko― You're the only one who can make that haregi shine.
Sayaka: .........
Kyoko: So, you didn't tell the owner after all?
Sayaka: Uh-uh.
Sayaka: I came back after trying it on...
Sayaka: But by then the store was already closed.
Sayaka: I haven't seen her since.
Kyoko: Guess you'll need a different shop to help you get dressed for your first shrine visit.
Sayaka: Like I said, that's not the issue.
Sayaka: I feel bad I couldn't really pay her back after all she  did for me.
Kyoko: She was kinda... strange, wasn't she?
Sayaka: Yeah.
Sayaka: Somehow, it felt like she could see through me.
Kyoko: Hey, don't sweat it too much.
Kyoko: Heck, you might bump into her around town for all  you know.
Sayaka: Right you are.
Sayaka: In the end, I never saw that shopkeeper again. And before I knew it, it was New Year's Eve.
Sayaka: It's a bit of a shame thinking I won't be able to meet her again, but...
Sayaka: "When winter comes, spring isn't far behind."
Sayaka: Thanks to the haregi she gave me, happy days are coming my way.
Sayaka: Thanks to everyone around me, I can be brave and move forward!
