The rain that had begun falling during the afternoon was still drizzling after school .

Taiyou’s classmates had all begun to leave the school, as did his brides, who said they had errands . This left him and Kohaku in the classroom, wearing their school uniforms .

Taiyou was silently working on raising his level with monotonous tasks, while Kohaku was gazing out the window .

“So you’re okay, Kohaku-san?”

“Hm?”

“You don’t have anything to do?”

“Nay, we elders generally have free time, ja . ”

“I do hear that every so often . ”

“Because that be true . It isn’t like I’ll have much to do when I get back, so I figured it be more fun to be with ye, Dannsama . ”

“Shall we go somewhere then?”

Taiyou suggested . He figured they might as well have a date while they were at it .

“I only have one umbrella, ja . ”

“Right . ”

“It doesn’t sound too bad to share an umbrella, but with the difference in our heights, I doubt it would go well, ja . ”

“Oh, right . ”

Taiyou could see how that might be difficult . There was quite a difference in height between the Eternal Little and himself . Without a really good handle on things, one of them–in this case, Kohaku–would end up getting wet .

Understanding that, Taiyou jokingly said,

“Or we could just huddle more closely together . Or give you a piggyback . ”

“How about koala style, ja? Or kangaroo . ”

“Kangaroo sounds good . Plus it’s been super cold lately . Getting all snug would make us warmer . ”

“Aye . Winter be the season to have fun . ”

“Such as?”

“Food . We can go to an oden shop that I frequent, ja . ”

“Was it under the tracks?”

“Indeed . ”

Kohaku grinned .

“The shop owner wears men’s underwear and a breast protector, ja . ”

“What about a towel twisted into a headband?”

“Of course . All the standard equipment, ja . ”

“Excellent . That person sure gets it . ”

“I’d recommend that place any day, ja . ”

“I’m looking forward to it . Let’s go together next time . ”

“Ye good at holding yer drink, Dannsama?”

“I’m underage, you realize . ”

Taiyou made a slight grimace .

Kohaku looked like an elementary schooler but was attending high school .

In actuality, she was over 80 years old and it made perfect sense to see her with a sake cup, but in Taiyou’s case, he was most certainly a high schooler and underage .

“Oh yeah huh, ye don’t drink much, do ye…Or heck, I never even seen ye drink . ”

“I’m sure you haven’t . Cause I don’t . I’ve already been in a tough situation once because of the sacred stuff . ”

“Oho, now I really want to make ye drink some . ”

“Like I said, I’m underage…”

“But if I recall, ye could drink at around 14 or 16 in Princess Leticia’s country . Plus over there, even if ye be a Japanese citizen, the Japanese law don’t apply to ye . ”

“You really want to get me drinking, eh . ”

“Well once ye come of age, I would like ta engage in drinking with ye . ”

“What are you, my dad?”

Taiyou grimaced again .

He then recomposed himself .

“But I do want to go to that restaurant . I can’t drink, but I do want to go with you . In winter if possible . ”

“In winter?”

“It’ll be a date . A date under the frigid sky, pressing our bodies close together at a food stand . ”

“Ohhh, that sounds fantastic . ”

Kohaku’s eyes sparkled .

“How about we throw in a red hand-towel, soap, and chattering teeth?”

“Or a hand-made muffler, the longer the better . That way we can put it on together . ”

“—-mm! Amazing as always, Dannsama . Always coming up with plans that arouse me heart . How about I make one tonight?”

“Oh, hand-made . I look forward to it . ”

The two of them continued their chat in the classroom .

If a poor bachelor heard this wholesome exchange, they would probably cry tears of blood .

“Hm?”

Taiyou suddenly realized something: everything had become unbelievably quiet .

No sound, no nothing .

It was as if every voice besides theirs had disappeared .

He soon understood why .

“Snow…”

“Hm? Oh . It be true . Snow be everywhere . ”

The two of them stared out the window in awe . The drizzling rain had become snow in the blink of an eye, falling down heavily . The wet ground had been painted over with a coating of white, muffling all sound .

The world of silver had quickly shifted . It stole their eyes, stole their hearts .

“It’s beautiful, ja . ”

“That it is . The first snow of the year . ”

“Aye . ”

“Although it’d be nice if it were Christmas right now . ”

“…”

Taiyou and Kohaku’s eyes glittered as they gazed outside .

“Kohaku-san, let’s go home . ”

“Huh?”

Kohaku looked at Taiyou, puzzled .

“Let’s walk home through the snow together . ”

“…Aye!”

They picked up their belongings and dashed out of the classroom .

As they walked through the hallway, Kohaku drew close to him and linked her arms around his, unable to wait any longer . He could feel her cheery nature through her clothing, and Taiyou found himself catching that cheer himself .

“So, the umbrella?”

“We shall go without it, ja . ”

As Kohaku requested, they leapt into the snow without an umbrella .

The two of them huddled together in the snow as they walked home .

It was in fact a fun, blissful moment, but…

They had to deal with all the scolding and jealousy from the other brides .
