". . .As you can see on the weather chart. There is high pressure to the west, and low pressure to the east. What this means with average winter type pressure the morning should see a severe cooling. However there will be clear skies nationwide, but it will be cloudy in some mountainous areas."

The weather reporter said in a show business voice.

He says it will be clear. But in my heart there is a blizzard of anxiety.

"Uuu. . ."

The time has finally come.

Time for me to face reality and go to school as Yukiya(♀). 

Wearing my female uniform.

My resistance to it was short-lived. 

Over my uniform is a sweatshirt. The only signs that I am wearing it are the sleeves.

The skirt I'm wearing is hooked in the middle.

It's strange to not have my crotch divided, and the fluttering of the skirt is noticeable.

Surprisingly, it also had pockets.

Along with all that, With great difficulty getting on, I had a scarf that went down to my chest. 

Black stocking finished off my outfit, this was a direct order from my mother.

"Yukiychan, your scarf is a mess."

"Eh?"

"Come here, let me fix it."

I did practice getting the scarf on, but my method resulted in it being off a little to the right. So I had to have my mother fix it.

Now I'm just face to face with her- – –

". . .Ugu."

She unraveled my work to retied it.

Her dexterous expression looked much happier than I felt inside. . .

"Alright, take a look."

She then brought me in front of a mirror.

What met me was an embarrassed looking girl in a sailor outfit.

Why. . .Am I wearing a sailor uniform. . .

"I-Is this. . Okay?"

"Yukiya, be confident. Everything will work out fine."

Although I understood that my body's change was unavoidable, I still felt like actively putting on a sailor outfit crossed the line in my mind. I feel very uncomfortable.

Why. . .Is this my school's uniform?

It's irrational for a system that forces both boys and girls to wear designated clothes. Where is the personal choice? Human rights?

. . .But what could I do about it? If I refuse I'll be in trouble. Which would bring even more suspicion on me and my connection to the "other" Yukiya.

"Good morning. Yukiychan~!"

While I was standing in front of a mirror. A girl's voice suddenly came from down stairs.

It was Natsumi-chan.

She did say she was going to pick me up on my first day of school.

"Alright, get going. You can't have your friends be waiting."

My mother sent me off with my bag in hand.

I took out and put my leather loafers from the shoe box and put them on.

They are new and it's a hard fit for my feet.

*Bang bang bang.

My footsteps signaled my approach as I rushed down the stairs.

Looking innocent, Natsumi-chan met me at the front door.

"Good morning! Yukiychan."

Outside was Natsum-chan in a coat. Of course her uniform was underneath.

She looks way more comfortable in it than I do.

"G-Good morning. . ."

"Cute~. It looks great on you."

She intentionally looked at my uniform.

"Good morning! Kitaharsan."

Then Tomonori greeted me.

He was in his school uniform with a coat over it. A bag hung on his shoulder as he waited for me.

Both of them are breathing out white air.

"I'm sorry. Were you guys waiting long?"

"No, it's fine."

"Yukiya was always on time. You guys are the same in that aspect."

"Well you and your salary working family are different from Yukiychan. You lack discipline."

"Well I didn't choose that life."

She was making fun of Tomonori's stable family situation.

His mother is a worker at the village's office, and his father is working for the prefecture. So they have a two-horse power family.

(TN:Two BreadWinners)(TTN:Bread Winners=Dough Makers)(TTTN:Makes Money for family.)

Both of them are from Hyousei.

"Alright let's go!"

She then grabbed my hand.

Because I was wearing gloves I shouldn't feel the warmth from her hand. But for some reason, it was warm.

"Wait a second."

My mother made an unusual appearance.

She was elegantly standing in her usual kimono looking at us from the front door. 

"Mom?"

"Be careful Yuki-chan."

"Don't worry Mother-san. We'll take good care of her. So rest easy."

"Ara, so reliable. I'll be asking you to treat my Yukiychan."

"Leave it to me!"

She trumpily hit her chest with her right arm.

Uu, I'm happy that Natsumi-chan is here, but it feels somewhat ticklish.

"And you are Tomonori-kun? I heard about you from Yukiya(♂). You guys were childhood friends. Thank you for treating him nicely."

My mother smiled and said to Tomonori.

"N-No, Don't mention it!"

Tomonori nervously but happily bowed.

I understand why you are embarrassed. But c'mon man. It's my mom.

After those short greetings, it's time to set off. 

"See you later Yuki-chan. Do your best!"

After walking for a little, I heard my mother's voice call out. I turned to find she was still there waving at me from the entrance.

(Uuu, So embarrassing. . .)

"That was Yukiya's mother!? She is really beautiful."

As the three of us walked, Natsumi-chan raised her admiring voice.

"She looked so young. . .I thought she was only a little bit older than us. I wouldn't have thought she was your mother unless you told us."

Tomonori muttered as he looked back.

Well it makes sense from an outside perspective, she is definitely beautiful.

We continued our trek to the school.

Our middle school is close to the center of the city. It's close to the post office and a government office. There is also the only supermarket and convenience store.

As we approached, the number of people and cars gradually increased. We even saw some students going to school.

""Good morning.""

As we passed in front of the police station, we greeted an officer.

"Good morning. And be careful not to fall and get injured."

The young officer returned our greeting in front of the building.

All and all, Nothing has really changed.

"Yukiychan is good at walking."

As we walked together, She looked down at my feet.

"Eh?"

"I think you are quite good at walking on frozen roads."

I was so self conscious about my skirt flapping that I completely zoned out.

What we are walking on is called black ice.

"I-Is that right?"

"You are from Tokyo, right? And you said this is your first time in snow country, but you seem really familiar with walking."

"N-Not really. I'm very scared. . ."

I rushed a denial.

"Yukiya(♂) was also really skilled. . ."

Tomonori then added.

There is an air of suspicion.

"It's almost like you are used to this route. But can I tell you something."

"W-What is it?"

Tomonri then stopped and crossed his arms.

"It's odd, but it feels like Yukiya isn't even gone."

"Uu. . ."

"Ah, really? I was also thinking that. Yukiychan is extremely similar."

Natsumi-chan then squinted a little.

"It's like Yukiychan and Yukiya are one. So I'm not as lonely as I thought."

"Is. . .that so."

"Are you mad that I said that?"

"N-No, not at all."

I quickly shook my head.

If anything I'm just surprised by how strong both of their intuition is. Or rather threatening power.

There we have it. Another chapter quickly defeated, or released. I feel like the cracks are showing. Also a possible love interest? I'm sure half of my readers are happy about this flag. But I'm not sure if it's actually a thing, or it's just friendship. However so far I like the pair. And the mom and daughter chemistry, it is cute.

Honestly I'm just hoping they both find out the identity of Yukiya soon. It's more interesting when friends are involved.

Next chapter in 2-3 days.

Also thank you Rydicoulus for the coffees. I really appreciate the nice message and glad you enjoy my Translations. I hope to bring more stuff to ya.

And Ace Hughj for the coffee and nice message. 

Messages like these do make doing these translations worth it

On a side note, I sometimes forget about the mighty majority of the lurkers. Probably less than 5% actually comment and like. Which is fine, I usually don't do either on a lot of things. But I'm always happy to have people reading regardless.
