Memories Of Sunflowers

登場キャラ：あみこけし、ぬいこけし、雪だるまくん
Characters: Amikokeshi, Nuikokeshi, and Snowman-kun

編み物が好きなあみこけしちゃん（ピンクの毛糸のリボン）と、縫い物が好きなぬいこけしちゃん（オレンジの糸のリボン）が手芸を楽しんでいると、雪だるまくんがやって来ました。
雪だるまくんは、あみこけしちゃんが魔法の夏の糸で編んだヒマワリのブローチのおかげで、今年初めての夏を体験することができたのです。

Amikokeshi-chan, who loves knitting (with a pink yarn ribbon), and Nuikokeshi-chan, who enjoys sewing (with an orange thread ribbon), are having fun with their handicrafts when Snowman-kun comes along.

Thanks to the sunflower brooch that Amikokeshi-chan knitted using magical summer yarn, Snowman-kun is able to experience summer for the very first time this year.

It’s a summer memory.

Hello.
Oh—Snowman!
Come over here.

What did you bring with you?
Look, look—this is wonderful.

Ta-da!
It’s a photo from the day I saw the sunflowers with Amikokeshi-chan.

Oh my! You went to see them!
Yes… it was a very hot day.

It’s just like my brooch.
I knitted it myself.
Wow, Amikokeshi-chan, that’s amazing!

So many little sunflowers!
They’re beautiful—so summery!

You’re not really an outdoor type, are you?
But that was very kind of you.

Hmph!

It was so much fun♪
Isn’t it lovely!
…Yes, it was absolutely wonderful.

Instagramでたびたび投稿したあみこけしちゃんと雪だるまくんのお話のエンディングです。
初めの冬は、ゆきおの町にやってきた雪だるまくんは、春の桜の頃に溶けてしまいました。
今年の冬再び現れた雪だるまくん。
また溶けてしまうと思われたのですが、たくさんのゆきお達の力で、不思議な力を持つ夏の糸で編まれたヒマワリのブローチを手に入れました。
そして、今年は無事に憧れの夏を満喫することができたのです。
クールなあみこけしちゃん、照れ隠しをしながらも嬉しそうです。
夏の糸のお話は、また別の機会でできたらと思います。

This is the ending of the story about Amikokeshi-chan and Snowman-kun,which I’ve shared from time to time on Instagram.
In the very first winter, Snowman-kun came to Yukio’s town,but by the time the cherry blossoms bloomed in spring, he had melted away.
This winter, Snowman-kun appeared once again.
At first, everyone thought he would melt again, but with the help of many Yukios, he obtained a sunflower brooch knitted from magical summer yarn,a yarn said to hold mysterious powers.
Thanks to that, Snowman-kun was able to fully enjoy the summer he had always dreamed of,safely and happily, this year.
Cool and composed as ever, Amikokeshi-chan looks pleased too, even as she tries to hide her happiness.
I hope to share the story of the summer yarn on another occasion.
