The Struggle of a Young TS Yuki-Onna. Chapter 12

Author:

Character cheat sheet. This is mainly for me, and people who took a break from the novel.

Yukiya Kitahara(北原雪哉) now (雪耶): The protagonist. A junior high student, 14, and  now a Snow girl. Short black hair, beautiful pale skin.

Syuuji Kitahara(北原修司): Yukiya's father, and owner of the Snow House.(雪乃亭) Which is located in Hyousei Village(氷清村)

Yukino(雪乃): Yukiya's mother, and is a snow woman/ Yuki Onna.

Natsumi(夏美) and Tomonori(智則): Yukiya's friends and classmates.

"Anyways, I am so happy that you got home today. Now you can take care of an idiot like me."

I was taken aback by my father's self destructive words.

I was really worried about the store while I was on that snow mountain, so I'm glad to finally be home. And as expected, the store is still in an abysmal state.

"Geeze. . ."

I looked around and saw a depressing sight. There was nobody around, even though it is noon and it's lunch time.

I can't help but feel guilty for leaving him to fend for himself.

"Oh, Is Yukiychan in a bad mood?"

"Not really. . ."

I simply understand how desperate our situation of the store is. Being away for half a month is a lost time I could have tried fixing it.

"That's right. . . Yukiya, came back right at time. It looks like you have forgotten, but winter break is about to end, and school will start soon."

Finally my father seemed completely over his ice attack and stood up.

"Eh?"

"The opening ceremony will start in three days."

Oh crap. School- – –

I glanced at the calendar and sure enough. . .

I forgot all about school because of my chaotic change into a snow girl, and it seems that it took up my entire winter vacation. New year, Christmas, all the events I missed. However I originally planned to simply spend it at home.

"W-Wait, what. . .what do I do about my body?"

Reality eventually hit me. If I think about it, I am of course a junior high school student. Therefore I go to school. . .So then how do I go to school now as a girl?

"You need to complete your compulsory education."

"But, How do I explain this?"

I then pointed at myself. I understand that it's one of the three major obligations given to a person. Learning is something and other stuff are things I need to do. But now I'm a girl. And that complicates it so much.

"Don't worry about it. I have already taken care of it."

"W-What?"

"The process of transferring Yukiya to school."

"Eh, when did you do that?"

"We knew from the start this may happen, so your father prepared. So you may now proceed with school and your Yuki Onna training. So go to the opening ceremony with confidence."

"Wait a minute. . .The training isn't over?"

My mom then coughed.

"Of course not. We have simply cleared the first barrier. We were just at the serpent eye's pond on Mount Hyosei."

The serpent eye's pond is the earliest landmark you pass when climbing the peak of Hyosei Mountain. It's truly the gate of the mountain.

"You got to be kidding me. . ."

I have to endure the hell training again. . ?

"Let's do our best once again, Yukiya. You'll do fine."

I couldn't help but crumble down onto one of our guest seating.

"Yukiya don't look so depressed. Look at what I prepared."

I dejectedly looked up to see what my father was talking about.

And oddly enough, he was holding a rather cute uniform. It looks to be a school designated sailor uniform. . .

It was for the winter, so it had a black base, and a color blue for it's scarf.

"You are too prepared!"

"Oh, those are such cute clothes. It will fit Yuki-chan perfectly."

Suddenly, I realized what being measured up on the mountain was for. She said it was to prepare clothes that fit me. I thought it was for the kimono. But it was for this. . .

"You are enjoying this too much! This is a terrible time for me. . ."

My dad simply smiled in response to my plight.

"I'm envious of you Yukiychan. You do look just like me when I went to the temple elementary school with the neighbor hood girls ~."(Yukiya's mother says temple elementary school(寺子屋), which were private schools for commoners that taught writing and reading to children during the Edo period(1603-1863AD).)

W-What? What did she just say now? No, it would be rude to ask my mother her age.

Although reluctantly, I do have to admit. I really want to go back to school.

It does seem that I'm going to go to my junior high as my cousin who is also named Yukiya.

And "Yukiya" the original, apparently went to study at an urban junior high in Tokyo.

"This is too prepared. . .How did you get this all done so quickly?"

It couldn't have been simple to transfer or have a family registered.

"Well don't worry about it Yukiya. I haven't been on my butt these past fourteen years. I've been preparing for this day the whole time. So I learned a lot of tricks."

My father said so confidently.

School starts in three days. How the hell do I manage this? What about my friends?

And then there is just living as a girl. . .

By the way- – –

My "cousin" Yukiya who is transferring to school is pretty much replacing me. My "cousin" Yukiya, moved to the mountain because she/I have a bad breathing problem, and the fresh air helps.

Yeah a pretty solid backstory. . .

Can I really sell that. . ?

But geeze, school life as a girl and training as a Yuki Onna. . .Two difficult situations at the same time. . .Just my luck.

"Wahh, it's so cute. Hey Yuki-chan look. Isn't this outfit perfect for you."

"I also have the bags and shoes for her."

Both of them seem really excited.

How can they be so happy. When I am freaking out internally?

. . .But I can't resent them for it. I wouldn't have been born if it wasn't for them.

But still. . .A sailor outfit. . .A skirt. I could never have imagined I would ever be wearing these in my entire life.

I picked up my outfit to get a better look of it.

It was connected together on it's hanger, so let's separate it.

However right when I did that, something fell out with a light thud.

There were two cups connected and straps attached to them, so you could wear them. 

Is that. . .

A bra.

"Well, let's see if it fits."

My mother then said with a smile.

Another chapter for you. School is coming aswell. Can't wait to see how she handles it.
