	When I was an elementary school student, I used to go for a shrine visit every New Year, as my sister like these kinds of annual events. She could have gone by herself, but she always had to drag me along. I was fine with accompanying her to the nearby Hachiman Shrine, but it was terrible when my sister was taking her university entrance examinations. I was ordered to pray for her to pass her exams, and she brought me on a long, arduous journey to Tenmangu Shrine that took us a few hours. As I recall, while my sister asked me to pray for her, she didn't buy a single amulet for herself, and instead amused herself with a game where she would continuously draw fortunes until she obtained an "Great Blessing"<ref>Refers to the best fortune one can draw at Shinto shrines for a few yen</ref>.

	When my sister went to university, she started flying off to a remarkably larger range of places, and thanks to that, she stopped bringing me along, and the need for me to attend annual events disappeared. If I don't have to do it, don't do it. I have have to do it, make it quick. Therefore, I had no plans at all for New Year's Day.

	I put on the white trench coat that I usually wear, settled for a beige muffler and gloves, then slipped a heater pack in my pocket. Even so, my teeth wouldn't stop chattering. Thinking that it was because of my unprotected feet, I chose a pair of laceless boots that looked like they were made of leather. I glanced at the television while going out, and noticed that today's temperature was apparently the lowest ~~recorder~~ this winter. I did not see a single cloud when I looked up at the sky, but the stars were scattered so crisply that I go a little annoyed.

	It was probably too early for the banquet, since there were quite a few empty seats. Chitanda and I headed to a table in the corner.

			"Satoshi would understand. The meaning of a purse that's tied up at its opening and base."

			Since I had done what needed to be done, I was free to give Chitanda an explanation. To be precise, I was explaining while being barely conscious after being driven to the wall by the cold.

			"Because he knows a lot of trifling things."

			Chitanda was also shivering from the cold. But it seems that her physical suffering was being outweighed by her curiosity. She drew closer and urged me to carry on.

			"What do you mean? I don't understand."

			"The purse is a bag. If the opening and base are tied up, it means that the insides are trapped. This implies that we're 'trapped like a rat'."

			In the darkness, a white head tilted in puzzlement.

			"I...see?"

			She clearly doesn't understand yet. I smiled.

			"I didn't come up with it. It came from an episode in history. You know the Battle of Anegawa, right?"

			Chitanda, with her exceptional grades, was strong when it came to memorizing details from the textbook. She answered smoothly,

			"The Battle of Anegawa was fought in the year 1570, between the Oda-Tokugawa coalition and the Azai-Asakura coalition. Oda Nobunaga won that battle."

			"It's a famous story from just before that... Do you know the Siege of Kanegazaki?"

			Since this didn't appear in the textbook, Chitanda, even with her superior grades, did not know about it. She shook her head.

			I then gave a concise explanation.

			"When Nobunaga was attacking Asakura, Nobunaga's brother-in-law, Azai, betrayed him. Nobunaga's sister sent a small bag tied at both ends to Nobunaga, who was at the front lines. Upon seeing the bag, Nobunaga realized that his siter was trying to convey the message that he was 'trapped like a rat'. I don't know how much of this actually happened, though."

			This explanation made me seem very knowledgeable, but I only knew about this from the manga I borrowed from Satoshi. I read it at the hot spring inn during the summer holidays, I believe. I also watched that same story unfold in the "New Year Drama Special - Winds of Change : Odani Castle" in the afternoon. I did doubt if just one bag would work, and I thought that perhaps putting the effort to write a letter would be better... Anyway, if it doesn't work now, it'll be extremely troubling for us.

			Well, it should be fine. In any case, Satoshi would be free, and like us, he would definitely go over to see Ibara. He should understand when he sees the purse. He's the one who lent me the manga, and he also watched the New Year Drama Special earlier. He's the type to be easily influenced by something he sees. If he sees the purse tied at both ends, he'll definitely think back to that historical episode.

			"I never knew that such a story existed..."

			Finally convinced, Chitanda nodded deeply, as starlight illuminated her profile.

			Since the wallet was also picked up and sent to Ibara, I could rely on the patrolling parishioners to deliver the purse as well. If not, I wouldn't have been able to throw the purse out.

			But in order to get the message across, we needed a string to tie around the base of the purse. It's impossible to convey the message using the purse alone, no matter how you look at it. However, we couldn't find a suitable piece of string to use in the outhouse. Without the tools, it would just be an empty theory. And then I realized that I was following a mistaken assumption... The string that we needed to find was not necessarily inside the outhouse.

			The walls of this shack are brittle. Using the shovel, I broke off a corner of the wall, while apologizing in my heart. This brought the number of small holes I made to two. Since the hole was just small enough to put a hand through, Chitanda consented tacitly,

			After that, I climbed onto the taiko platform. My aim was to get to the area near the ceiling of the outhouse, right under the eaves.

			I pushed my hand out of the hole to get the string. A white "Arekusu Shrine" flag was placed near the outhouse, as if cuddling up to it. The flag pole seemed to be too short, so to stabilize the flag, a vinyl string was used to tie it to the eaves of the outhouse. I was aiming for that string. As expected, the solution was waiting outside the outhouse.

			This way, I managed to produce the message "trapped like a rat". The rest is up to Satoshi. Well, it should be fine.



			The door clattered. And then, a loud voice sounded.

			"Houtarou, are you there?"

			Chitanda stared at me with widened eyes, as if not being able to believe it. I shrugged and replied,

			"Thanks for helping, I was about to freeze to death."

			"There's some hot sweet sake waiting for you in the shrine office. Right, I'm opening the door."

			Sweet sake, huh. It was the reason we got in this mess, and I don't think I want to see a cup of it right now.

			Clatter, clatter, clunk. The aluminum door slowly opened.

			Illuminated by the moonlight and the blazing bonfire, Satoshi smiled.

			"Yo. Happy new year!"

			"Hey. Sappy new year."

			Buffeted by the winter wind, Chitanda sneezed.

			Mayaka shrieked hysterically.

			"Why!"

			A lost object had been delivered yet again. This time, it was a purse. Not the cheap kind that I use, but an elegant purse that a woman in a kimono would carry.

			Mayaka was shocked because that purse belonged to Chitanda. Apparently, Chitanda had taken out that purse before I arrived, and Mayaka clearly remembered that it looked like that. A handkerchief, a wallet, and now a purse. The two of them had lost that possessions three times in a row. Is that the consequence of Houtarou's "Misfortune"? Incidentally, I have a "Middle Blessing". I'm a little disappointed, but if I look down the scale, I do feel a sense of superiority.

			"This was also picked up near the outhouse. What are those two doing?"

			It was light purple in color, was tied with a plaited cord, and was decorated with balls. That's nice. But it's clearly not something a guy would carry, so I shouldn't compare it with mine.

			"And there's some dirty string tied around this, too..."

			That line caught my attention.

			"String?"

			"Yeah, look."

			Mayaka held up the purse. Indeed, there was a string tied around at the bottom. A purse that was tied at both ends. My eyes widened.

			Th-this is...

			I suddenly jumped up to my feet from my sitting position, causing Mayaka to look up in surprise.

			"Wh-what is it, Fuku-chan?"

			"Mayaka, where is the outhouse?"

			"It's over there, near the Inari shrine."

			"I'll be right back!"

			With quick steps, I left the shrine office. As I ran with all my might under the starry night sky, only one thought crossed my mind.

			Houtarou, Chitanda-san, I'm coming to help!

	It had been a momentous decision to throw down my wallet. I had thought that throwing out Chitanda's wallet would have been the better solution. If I tied my bad fortune to Chitanda's wallet, Ibara would understand the situation and would probably judge it to be an emergency.		It had been a momentous decision to throw down my wallet. I had thought that throwing out Chitanda's wallet would have been the better solution. If I tied my bad fortune to Chitanda's wallet, Ibara would understand the situation and would probably judge it to be an emergency.

			However, I refrained from using that method. Chitanda's wallet wasn't the one that she normally used when buying bread from the canteen, but was a part of her New Year costume. I had taken a glance at it while she was paying for a fortune. Chitanda's wallet today was made of real leather and looked expensive.

			I thought that it we removed the wallet's contents, it wouldn't be so painful if it were stolen instead of returned, but that was naive of me, as Chitanda's wallet was packed. If anyone besides the patrolling parishioners found the wallet, they would definitely go through its contents. That would be a problem.

			Having no other choice, I emptied my wallet, and to show that the wallet belonged to Oreki Houtarou, I tied my bad fortune to the wallet. Since it was a piece of paper, I wanted to write "Help", but unfortunately, no matter how much I wracked my brains, I could neither find any writing equipment, nor think of any substitutes. I did think of scratching out "Help", but the creases from tying it to the wallet would make the word unreadable. I could have inserted the paper inside the wallet, but then Ibara wouldn't be able to tell that it's my wallet just by looking at it. I was at a dilemma as to which option I should take.

			In the end, it seems that I chose the wrong on. The wallet undoubtedly got delivered to Ibara, but help still didn't arrive. Ibara should have suspected something after receiving Chitanda's handkerchief, followed by my wallet, but... It hadn't made her think of leaving her post and checking on our situation.

			"Sorry, Chitanda. We might not have any other options."

			I was somehow in a self-sacrificial mood and felt like giving the freezing Chitanda my clothes to wear, but I was also cold. If I removed this sweater, I would probably get hypothermia or something.

			Chitanda returned with a smile.

			"No, it's my fault for being selfish and dragging you along with me."

			"You're not being selfish. It's your responsibility, right?"

			"... That might be true, but that's no excuse for getting you caught up with this. Let's just call for help. We'll just have to put up with any rumors that spread."

			I was filled with chagrin, having to give up after enduring the cold for so long. But we've exhausted all possible means. Since we can't think of anything else, we shouldn't delay pointlessly any more. I nodded.

			However, at the very last moment...

			"Ah, I imagine Fukube-san is already here, too."

			Chitanda's lamentation reminded me of what I had forgotten. Of course! Satoshi's probably here already. He said that he would revisit the shrine at this time, so it would be natural for him to be here.

			AT first, I thought of the physical ways to break out of the room. That proved to be too difficult, so I considered trying to contact Ibara. But Ibara wasn't the only person we could contact. There was also Satoshi. Satoshi would understand!

			Ah, but we don't have the tools!

			"Chitanda, do you have some sort of string?"

			Chitanda faltered after receiving my sudden outburst.

			"St-string?"

			"About this long... Something around 50 cm would do. That will definitely be enough to convey our situation."

			Chitanda started feeling around her body to search for a string.

			"How about my sandal strap?"

			"Too short."

			"Ah! There's a drawstring on my purse!"

			I shook my head.

			"That's no good, since we'll be using your purse."

			Unable to understand, Chitanda tilted her head in doubt. Well, I'll save the explanation for later.

			"How about your bootlace, then?"

			"Ah, right! There's that!"

			With a spirited disposition, I looked down at my feet, but was immediately disappointed. If I was wearing normal sneakers, that would work. However, I was wearing laceless boots today. It's not like i was trying to look good. It's just that I was afraid the grounds would be slippery from all the melted snow. Boy, was I seriously unlucky for that decision to bite back at me here.

			"If we absolutely must..."

			Chitanda gently touched her obi.

			"We could use the string on my obi."

			"Is it long enough?"

			"Yes."

			Chitanda nodded, and for some reason, looked away. Not caring about the small details, I spoke.

			"Is it difficult to remove?"

			"Well, yes, it is. It will take quite a bit of time."

			At that moment, a bout of uneasiness passed by.

			"Erm, Chitanda, I'm not familiar with kiminos, but..."

			"......"

			"Will the kimono be fine after you take off the obi string?"

			The answer to that question took a long time to arrive. Chitanda cast her eyes downwards and spoke in a small voice.

			"The obi would kind of come off..."

			"Come off? We can't do that then!"

			"I guessed so. Since it would be difficult to fix..."

			That's not the problem here. Even if we manage to get help from Satoshi, if he sees Chitanda's kimono in a mess it would be... Let's just say that it wouldn't look good. It would make all that caution we've practiced up to now absolutely pointless.

			"Is there any other string here?"

			Think.

			This outhouse contains a bamboo broom, a metal shovel, a long pole for housekeeping, a platform to support a taiko, a long rod laid out horizontally, as well as a cardboard box, which is filled with a large quantity of teacups, all with the same design. We've reached this situation where we have nothing but the aforementioned items, but what we really need right now is just one string... If we had a blade, we could cut off the linen string fixed at the end of the broom. Would I be able to cut it by swinging the shovel? I don't think so, but it's not long enough anyway.

			As if she couldn't take the silence, Chitanda timidly asked,

			"Er... Why do you need a string to get Fukube-san to help?"

			More importantly, where's the string? I'm about to freeze soon.

			"Help isn't coming, huh... Tchoo!"

			Chitanda sneezed.

			And I had thought it would be fine since it wouldn't be cold at all. How wrong I was. Being a guy, I've never worn a kimono, but no matter how you look at it, it can't have the best insulation.

			"You alright?"

			Chitanda gave a troubled smile in response to my mundane question.

			"Yes... I should have worn my Michiyuki..."

			"Michiyuki?"
