Part 1
Lake Towada, Aomori – Winter Story Festival
It looks like it’s about to start.
What’s about to start~?
The fireworks show.
You look like you’d have more fun setting things on fire instead though.
I’ll make sure to char the squids nice and even! Fiyaaaah!!
I am excited to watch the fireworks together with everyone.
I feel the same. There’s a special kind of harmony to be felt, with all of us gazing upon the same night sky.
Haaa…
(I was able to warm up in the snow huts earlier, but my fingers get cold outside even with my gloves on.)
Toi, are you cold? Hold on, I’ll go buy something to warm you up.
Huh!? Ryui-kun, you’re going now!?
Haah? When else would I go?
Um, well, then please hurry back…! The fireworks are about to start.
It’s fine as long as Toi sees them.
Ryui~ I’d like a garlic pork miso ramen~.
Fuck off. Go get it yourself.
Angy…
Oh yeah, Chief.
?
Make sure to act as Toi’s shield while I’m gone. I’ll allow it this time.
(I was given permission for some reason.)
It’d be more effective with more bodies, so maybe I could also…
Denied. What’re we supposed to do if you get Toi wrapped up in your shitty streak of misfortune?
Oh, okay.
Chief, be on the lookout for Hachinoya too. Thanks.
Ahaha…
Ummm, then… pardon me, Toi-kun.
Okay, thank you! *snuggles*
(The side of my body is warm. The warmth is spreading to the rest of my body slowly…)
Chief is slightly warmer than Ani-sama.
Oh, really?
…I feel like a penguin that’s been separated from its group.
In that case, would you like to come into my arms? I have confidence in warming you up well.
*Nagi’s face lights up*
Are you really that cold?
I know right?
*sigh* When will Ani-sama be back… When will the fireworks start…
Toi-kun, your gloves are so fluffy and cute.
Ehehe, thank you.
Oh, Chief, your hands have been in your pockets this whole time…
Do you not have any gloves?
Yeah. I took them off earlier when we were eating at the food stalls, but I think they fell out at some point.
Oh no… That’s too bad…
Oh! Does this situation call for that…!?
That?
Yup, that. The standard heart-fluttering winter scenario—
Holding hands & sharing gloves!
Ohh… like those scenes you often see in dramas where the leads wear gloves on one hand and hold hands with the other?
Yup! It’ll be sure to warm up both your body and soul ♪
So please, take one of my gloves!
In that case, thank you…
Oh…
Sorry, Toi-kun. I don’t think they fit…
Awww. Really…?
But then, in that case—
Ei!
(Oh. He wrapped his hands around mine…)
I’ll use both my hands to warm you up!
*squeeze*… Do you feel warmer?
Thank you, I do. Toi-kun, you’re so nice.
Hehe, don’t mind it! I’ll make sure to warm up your hands even more. *squeeze tighter*…
(Toi-kun… is squeezing my hands with all his might. This is making my heart flutter a bit.)
(…Wait, but will Ryui-kun get mad at me if he finds out later…!?)
Fufu, what a heartwarming scene indeed.
Yeah. It warms me up just watching them.
