The Literary High School Girl Makes a Request

January 1. The day a new year begins.

Last year was a wonderful year, mostly thanks to Masato-san.

I look forward to your continued support this year (with a deeper meaning).

"There, is this good?"

"Ooh! Thanks! Nailed it!"

I looked in the mirror and saw myself wearing the furisode my mother had helped me put on.

Hmm, not bad, right?

Masato-san's sure to compliment me looking like this!

"I'm glad, though. A guy like him must get invited out all the time, so how'd you manage to get him to go to hatsumode with you, Shiori?"

"Shut up, it's fine, isn't it?!"...
