Season: Winter

[Field]

Mitsuru: ……

(Looks like they cleared away the snow here, just as Nii~chan said. There’s none left.)

(But it might snow tomorrow. Nii~chan told me to have hope, so I’m not gonna give up…!)

Koga: Heeey, Daikichi~? Mm? Thought I saw Daikichi ‘round here. Was I imagining it?

I keep tellin’ that Akehoshi not to just let Daikichi run around by himself…

I said to keep a collar on him. Did he just forget ‘cause he’s a moron?

Mitsuru: Huh? Oh, it’s Ko-chan-senpai! Why’re you over here? Didya come to the field to make a snowman too?

Koga: Hunh? Well if it ain’t Tenma. Why would I go all the way here just to make a snowman?

Don’t lump me in with you.

I’m just here ‘cause I thought Daikichi’d be here. If you see him, lemme know.

Mitsuru: Got it~ But why’re you looking for him~?

Koga: Akehoshi’s busy with SS practice these days.

And looks like Daikichi’s not gettin’ as much walking as he needs, so I was worried he’s stressed out or somethin’.

Mitsuru: Ahaha. Ko-chan-senpai, you’re nicer than you look~♪

I didn’t wanna approach you ‘cause I thought you were a scary guy, but… after talkin’ to ya, I see it’s not the case.

I was just about to go home after practice, see? So I can help you out too, Ko-chan-senpai!

Koga: Tch, don’t get ahead a’ yourself. Maybe you don’t feel it now, but you probably don’t have enough strength after practice.

Brats should go home an’ not make stops on the way.

Mitsuru: It’s fine! I’m the one who knows me the best! I can still work, dash dash~☆



Koga: Don’t start runnin’ all over the place. You’re more like a dog than a brat. Dogs get excited when it snows and start runnin’ around, right?

My dog Leon’s the same. Well, he’s a wolf inside. But you can’t fight the natural dog instincts either.

Mitsuru: So then, Ko-chan-senpai, do you get happy when it snows too?

Koga: “So then”? I’m not a dog, I’m a wolf. I don’t care if it snows.

S’actually better if it doesn’t. When it snows, transport just freezes in place. It’s annoying when you have work further away.

Mitsuru: Nghh~ Why d’you say that?! I like when it snows!

‘Cause you can make a snowman! And snow huts and snow sculptures too!

So don’t say it’s better when it doesn’t snow!

Koga: Come on, what’re you gettin’ all worked up for? I just meant it’s better for me when it doesn’t.

But it’s gonna snow in this season anyway, whether I want it or not.

Now come on, go home and sleep. When you wake up, it might actually be a winter wonderland out there, y’know?
