Yes...

　If I were to poke the earth with an ice pick, I'd be able to crack it just as well... ...that's exactly what it is. Oh, well, today was the sixteenth of December 16th. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I don't think so.

"Why is there so much snow all of a sudden from yesterday's scorching heat?"
"It was early this year, wasn't it, snow?"
"... Is it like this every year?"
"Yes,"

　The alarm bell hasn't rung yet.
　It's 3:30 a.m.
　Getting up in the cold, I ran into Jeanette in the hallway.
　To her surprise, Jeanette was unusually dressed in a nightgown.

"I can't wash my clothes when it snows."

　He smiled in embarrassment and looked down at the snow in the courtyard from the landing upstairs.
　The breath is white, and the blowing wind shrinks the muscles.

"I sleep a little at this time of year."
"Well, you get up early enough,"

　It's only four o'clock before [It's four o'clock.

"Why is it snowing so hard on the day after a very hot day?"

　The snow in the courtyard is certainly more than a meter long.
　If Magda jumps off the landing again, she'll have no worries this time.

"Isn't it natural that it snows if the heat wave lasts for more than five days?"

　It's not natural.
　Why do you look innocent like, "What's wrong with you?"
　Why do you want to say it's a rebound? It was so hot, so it's getting cold next time. Who manages the weather here? Is it spirit god? I'm going to blow it away.

"In this city, the heat wave lasts from five days to a week. So, when the temperature exceeds its peak of 42 degrees Celsius, it snows from the next day."
"Did everyone agree to play in the river..."
"Yes. It's been extremely hot for at least five days, and it's been exceptionally hot this year, and I had a feeling that yesterday might be the last time."

　So it seems that everyone was having a great time.
　--tell me, too!

"I'm sorry. I can't believe Mr. Jiro doesn't know... right? Mr. Yashiro came to this city for the first time this year, didn't he? I forgot."

　With a cute clenched fist, she thrusts herself in the head, and Jeanette sticks out her tongue.
　What's that cute thing? I'll push you down.

"...I've always felt like I've been with Mr. Yashiro since a long time ago..."
"Can I push you down?"
"You can'

　I see... I don't think so.
　I had a feeling that you proposed to me.

"Why?"
"What?"

　No, I'm sure I'll learn.

"How long will this snow last?"
"About ten days this year,"
"If the snow accumulates several meters, will it be warm and sunny the next day?"
"Hmm... it won't change so suddenly?"

　No, this change between yesterday and today! Why didn't you do that?
　What's the temperature difference?
　Getting used to it is scary!

"Every year, when the hilar leaves are harvested, the heat begins. It changes a little, but it's always about the same time. On the contrary, the heavy snowfall season has been decided upon."

　As Jeanette said earlier, in the scorching heat of 42 degrees Celsius, the next day will be switched to a heavy snowfall.
　In other words, if the temperature rises early in the scorching heat season, the snow will stay longer, and if the temperature does not rise during the scorching heat season, the snow season will be shorter.

　The heavy snowfall season has arrived relatively early this year, so the snow period will increase. Will this continue for 10 days... 10 days?
　Today is the 16th, so the heavy snowfall season ends on the 25th. It's Christmas?
　...but I don't think Christmas is a culture here, and I can't even explain what day it is without Christianity.
　Well, I might as well eat chicken and cake.

　Turkey?
　Chicken tastes better!

"Is that why you bought a lot of food?"
"Yes. A lot of guilds take time off work at this time of year."
"'Many' means there are some stupid guilds who do their jobs in such heavy snow."
"Well... well... we'll continue our business, you know? We'll have very few customers."

　Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

"Well, Umaro will come, will he said. Absolutely."
"I don't know," But I think you'll come."

　Jeanette giggles.
　It may have been a long time since we had such a leisurely conversation in the morning.

　But now we can finally make sense.
　Until yesterday, the heat had not been the only reason why guests had not come to the Yodamari-tei.
　This heavy snow really doesn't make me look stylish.
　All trains in Japan have stopped and all large companies have ordered people to stay at home.
　I guess convenience stores work...

"Oh, that's what you mean..."
"What?"
"That's what Assault said,"
「……？」

　Assund had said, "We'll have ice in two weeks."
　... Yeah. You can get it. It's too late, though.

"If we can keep the ice produced here until next year's scorching heat... we can make a profit from shaved ice..."
"Isn't that impossible?"
"No, if you make an ice chamber... how do you make it?"If you dig a hole and spread the straw, will it work? Or will there be a cave?
　d*mn it! If I knew this would happen, I'd have done some research beforehand where I could make an ice room!

"Not to mention ice,"

　Jeanette rolls her arms around.

"I have a job before breakfast, Mr. Jiro!"
"...what?"

　Jeanette staring at me with some kind of spirit in her eyes.
　What are you going to do?

"Let's change our clothes first. You'll catch a cold in this outfit."
"Well... it's my night-gown forever,"
"Will you wake Mr. Magda up?"
"...I have only a bad feeling..."
"He didn't like it when it was hot... maybe he's strong in the cold."

　a fool's
　Even if you don't like the heat, you don't... ...you don't come out of your futon even if you don't like the cold.

"Then I'll go and get dressed,"
"Hey,"

　First of all, I'm going to wake up the magda.
　Maybe you'll be very excited to see the snow. ... well, I don't think so.

"Magda, Jeanette, wake up."

　knock on the door and urge someone to get up
　......no answer. He seems to be fast asleep.

　Well, it's within my expectations. He's never been honest enough to wake up.

"I'm coming in,"

　I've been given unauthorized access to the room by Magda herself.
　But I'm not going to intrude on my privacy, look for my underwear, let alone attack my sleep.
　In short, "I'm not sure I'm going to wake you up, so I want you to come in and wake me up.
　Also, if you can't sleep because you're scared, you can dive into bed. ...though I've never done it.

　When I entered the room, Magda was missing.
　......no way, I approached the bed and scratched the straws with my hands.

"...you're easy to understand,"
"... Samuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
"I can't believe the day will come when you ask me to do so." I don't know what life is all about."

　It must have been so cold that he slipped into the straw. Is it a small animal?

"I hear you're going to do something, work,"
"... during the heavy snow season, hunting guilds are closed..."
"That's a pity. I hear that the Yodamari-tei is open all year round."

　Come to think of it, the advertising T-shirt I made before said 24/7.
　Is it a lie to rest? Let's be careful.

"... Jillo,"
"What?"
"... warm it up, human skin."
"...you know what I mean?"
".........It's cold."

　I'll teach you some dry cloth friction.
　I can't make fun of you unexpectedly. Rubbing your skin with a dry towel will make the cold a little better. It's hell until we get there... naked to the waist...

"If you wake up hard, I'll give you coffee jelly."
".........refuse."

　I see.
　I was up until yesterday.

　Oh, no, Jeanette was buying red beans... Did she buy sticky rice, too.
　Well, then... I mean, I'll make you some soup. Yes, soup will appeal to these guys.
　I think we'll have to add mochi instead of white balls.

　He drags out the magdas and tells them to change. I think I'll sleep again... but I can't make him change... ...when he's animalized, I don't know.

"Don't go to bed,
"...it was learned from Percy yesterday. "'Go to bed,'"
"That's the case with him, but not now." Change your clothes right away."
"... see you,"

　Half asleep, Magda begins to stagger.

　I'll go back to my room and change my clothes.
　Yesterday I fell asleep because of my tiredness after swimming, and my clothes were left in a mess.
　Magda's room looks like a mess of a man's, contrary to the simplicity of his room.
　If you can't go out, why don't you take this opportunity to clean it up? It's the end of the year.

　I got dressed and went out into the hallway, where Jeanette was already ready.

"Yes, Mr. Jiro. And, Mr. Magda."

　Jeanette smiles and hands me and Magda a scoop.
　Jeanette has an old, well-seasoned scoop.

"………………What?"
"It's snow shoveling," You can't go to the kitchen at this rate. For the first time in the morning, let's get rid of the snow in the courtyard and clean up the front of the shop and the garden after we get back from the church."

　......Really?

"Even if you clear the snow, it will be reset the next morning, won't it?"

　It's a world with this unusual climate. There is also the possibility of heavy snowfall every night, with a snowfall of one meter.
　However, my concern was flatly denied.

"In the heavy snowfall season, it just drops a lot on the first day and then continues to sprinkle. But it will continue to pile up little by little, so you will need to clear the snow several times."

　For the time being, it doesn't seem to be a reset every morning.
　... on the contrary, it's hard to refuse. I can't even say, "If it rains every day, it's useless, isn't it?"d*mn it, I can't seem to get away from shoveling snow.

"Well, shall we do it quickly?"
"Yes!"
"...good luck,"
"You do it, too."
"...look forward to a reward."
"Oh, let it be," I'll feed you something delicious."
".........negotiated"

　He steps down into the courtyard, kicking the snow off the roofless stairs.
　......he's piled up to the point of sigh.
　I wonder if this will only please elementary school students...

"...if you use the 'red shimmery, something glistening' one momentarily.
"Don't do that! Food is already restricted. You should avoid being hungry."
"... well, there's a point,"

　We can't waste food like shoveling snow.
　For now, should we allow access to the kitchen and the food department?

"Now that you mention it, where did the chicken go?"

　We keep chickens in the courtyard of Yodamari-tei.
　Ever since Neferry and these eggs were available, I've been treating them like pets.

"I put them in an indoor hut and let them escape to the dining room."
"It looks cold... the dining room."
"Well, I feel sorry for you if you don't light it up quickly.

　There is nothing like a fireplace in the Yodamari-tei.
　How do you keep warm?

"There's a small wood stove," I've been using it since I was an old man, but it's warm."
"Oh... I've seen it before." the one covered with dust in the back of the shed."
"I only use it at this time of year."

　It's a small iron stove that's about 40 centimeters tall and 60 centimeters wide. There was a small window, so I guess we'll throw firewood in there to warm it up.

"Well, hurry up, then," You can hit the stove when you're done?"
"Well, you can put a pot on top of it, so you can make warm soup.

　make warm soup while keeping it warm Good. It's my own way of cooking without waste.
　Pork soup and amazake would be nice.

　Scratch the snow and throw it away. It would be nice to create a path that would allow one person to walk comfortably.

"But don't wrap it around your arms and hips, this work..."

　I shouldn't have been so excited about swimming yesterday.
　It's hard to raise my arm with muscle pain.

".........It's cold."
"If you move your body, you'll soon get warm."
"... when it comes to Magda class, it's not even a workout..."
"Then..."

　I don't know if it's amazing or inconvenient, superhuman.
　However, Magda's coldness is a little unusual. My body is shaking and my lips are pale.

"You may go back to your room?"
"...the room is cold, too."
"But it's better than the outside..."
"... Jillo. Human skin."
"I'm going to be lost here,"

　I'll have to finish clearing the snow and put it out on the stove...

"But, Mr. Jiro," If you want to use a stove, you might want to install a chimney... and it'll take quite a while."
"Really?"
"I'm sorry... I should have done it yesterday... I was struck by a terrible drowsiness..."

　It's almost impossible for Jeanette to resist that drowsiness when she was almost new to swimming.
　But it's a big trouble.
　Well, I really have to warm it up to the skin.
　Even if you want to boil the bath, with this snow.........snow?

"Yes!"

　I crawled up a meter of snow that hadn't been cleared yet and forced myself into the kitchen.

"Squeak!"

　A chicken looked cold in the kitchen.
　Please wait a little longer.

"I'm sure there was one around here."

　I can't believe it's time to appear so soon.

"And... I wonder if I can make magda-sized in no time."

　Whipping all over my body screaming with muscle pain, I swear to take another step.
　Borrow some charcoal from the kitchen and return to the snowy courtyard.

"Yasilo, what on earth..."
"Ginnet, I'm sorry to trouble you, but please set him on fire."
"This..."

　I hand over what I got in the kitchen to Jeanette.

"I'm sure... seven wheels?"
"Oh, Magda, wait a minute." I'll make a warm 'room' right now."

　The snowfall is one meter. Even if you don't bother to pile up snow, digging a side hole will make it look like that.
　a warm room in the snow
　Yes, it's "Kamakura!

　However, I have to beat it a little.k.

　They don't think too much about it, and they make simple kamakura with speed first.
　Meanwhile Magda manages to keep warm by nibbling at the seven wheels.
　If you put seven wheels in the oven, it will get warmer.
　It will last as long as I clear the snow.

"I'll help you,"
"I'm saved!"

　With Jeanette's help, a small horizontal hole was completed to fit in a single magda.
It's called the "Snowy Hotel, Kamakuratei.""Now, Magda," Come in."
"...in the snow...?"
"Don't worry. I thought I was fooled."
"...I understand,"

　The magda that goes into the easy kamakura. bend in and wag one's tail

".........warm."
"Right? And if you put in the seven wheels..."

　I'll put the seven wheels in a simple kamakura.
　The red color of charcoal lights up the walls of the kamakura.

"...this is a good thing,"
"Really. It's warm just to be around."
"When I'm done clearing the snow, I might as well make something more serious."
"Open terrace!"

　Open terrace with kamakura in the dining room? Is kamakura open in the first place?

"Oh, that's how it is,"

　I'm a little tired from trying too hard, so I'll just give you a random answer.
　If Jeanette recognized it that way, that's all right.

"Brother! Manager!"

　Suddenly, Loretta popped out of the kitchen.
　Did he come out of the snow? It's only four o'clock.

"Loretta, are you all right in this snow?" Mr. Loretta could have taken a day off..."
"I don't like it! It's the Yangtae that doesn't rest in heavy rain or heavy snow! I'll work as long as I have a job!"

　Come to think of it, there was a time when he wanted to work but couldn't.
　You're serious and hard at work, aren't you? It's just that it's hard to see from the side.

"I've brought three of my brother, and I'll leave it to you to clear the snow!"
`Come on!'
`Come on!'
`The handyman in the snow-plow world!'

　This is a reliable help.
　It'll be much faster than I can do.

"Loretta, too. Did you come here scratching the snow?"
"No, I wanted to get there soon, so I zucked on the snow."
"Get rid of the snow! I have to go to church after this!"
"It's a little hard to get at this distance."

　Well, I don't know, but.........what?

"Well, Jeanette,"
"What?"
"You can't use your usual cart with all this snow, can you?"
"Well, the wheels are buried in snow."
"...how do you carry the ingredients, then?"
"Then this is it!"

　Jeanette took out three baskets from the bottom of the stairs, wondering when she had prepared them.
　......Really?

"It's very difficult, but ten days of patience."

　It's the children of today who can't stand the ten days.

　Rah! Rah! Rah!

　A bell rings in the distance.
　It's a wake‐up bell.

"Well, I'll get ready,"
"... Magda will be here for a while."
"Oh, Magdachy!? That's it!? It's nice! Put me in!"
"...the hole is so small that I can't do it."
"My brother will expand!"
"Spread it out!"
"Shook!"
"There's a foreign substance in it!"

　I can't do it.
　Everyone is willing to accept this impossible snow.
　I have no choice but to give up.
　Why don't you resist?
　Why don't you think about standing up to this snow?

　I'm not going to do it's my fault.
　I packed heavy ingredients in my backpack, and I went back and forth on the road to the church for ten days, snow-covered."

　gently touch the accumulated snow
　The snow is as soft as you can see on a ski resort. -- wouldn't it slip and sink in this way? --"

"Yes, I'll do it in two hours!"

　There's bamboo, too. It's a dish I used in Nagashi somen.
　I'll use it to... capture this snow!

"Brothers!"
"'What?'"
"Did any of you work at Umaro's?"
``Yes!'

　All of themselves.
　Then you may have had some skill drilled into it.

"All right, boys, help me a little!"
``Oh, my God!'
"...that's what I understand?""Ah... I taught them how to make fun of my brother when I saw his swimsuit yesterday."
"It seems to have been very maliciously distorted?"
"That's not the case! It's the way it is!"
"And if it's this reaction, it's even sadder!"

　I don't care about that!

"Brothers! I'm going to make two things."
"'What?'"
"Sledding!"


　Let's make the most of our knowledge of snow-covered countries in the snow-covered world!
