a heavy snowfall season
　It's a period when people all over the city stay at home and cherish their time with their families.
　Spend a relaxing time in an empty, closed world.

"Manager! Four more soup!"
"Yes!"
"Mr. Manager! Here are two children's lunches, a daily special and a grilled salmon special!"
"Yes, yes!"
"... Magda broils salmon."
"That's very much.

　Yodamari-tei was transformed into a scene of disaster.

"Why are so many guests coming!"

　I'm so busy that I'm going back and forth from shop to garden as well.

"Yasilo! A kamakura is empty!"
"Then show me the guests waiting in line!"
"Okay! Natalia, go to the kitchen and help Jeanette."
"Very well,"

　Under Estella's direction, Natalia walks into the kitchen with empty tableware.

　so
　It's a shambles.

　This has become a big hit.

"Mr. Yashiro! Kamakura No. 8 has been completed!"
"Womaro's approval?"
"Of course!"
"Good! Show me the next guest! Show me what you've just made!"
"Leave it to me!"

　Imelda is working on a new kamakura with Umaro and his younger brothers. This is my eighth article.

"Oh, look, look, look, look!"
"So cute!"

　I hear such female customers.
　In the direction they pointed, they were adorably lined with snow statues of the members of the Yangdang-tei, who had been deformed. This is the scene of a snowball fight.

　And this is the beginning of this shitty busy situation.



　That's right. The day after we all made kamakura together. That day????



　the first day of the heavy snowfall
　After making a great fuss over our own kamakura, we began making snow statues the next day.
　When I tried this, it was surprisingly fun, and we were all absorbed in it.

　I, Estella, Natalia, Imelda, and Becco, the most ardent of all, created a soulful statue, while dodging snowball attacks from Delia and Loretta.
　I felt like the Petit Snow Festival.

"Yasilo, look!"

　The work Estella showed me was obviously shimeji.

"You like mushrooms, don't you?"
"What part of this is a mushroom! This is a goddess!"
"...the spirit of the soul, you're getting too tired?"
"And what is that round thing in Jillo?"
"It's a snowman,"

　What I made was an ordinary snowman everywhere. Charcoal is used to make a face.

"You're so cute! You're so cute!"

　Apparently, Jeanette was inspired by something in her heart and began to run around the snowman like a dog. You don't have to be so excited.

"I want to make one, too!"

　When I showed her how to make it, Jeanette kept making snowmen silently all day. There were hundreds of mini snowmen in the palm of their hands, as if they were going to hold a memorial service even if they had nothing to do with Buddha. ... I'm scared.

　Imelda's avarice for beautiful things was more intense than anyone else, and she was very sharp and stylish. I don't know what it was, but I was creating something like an object with a motif.

　So, Becko, but...

"Are you a fool?"

　We were in the garden of Yodamari-tei. It's a few dozen sets, too.
　The set is a scene where we're all doing something together.
　It's not exactly like it, it's just like it.
　We're continuing to make it at a phenomenal rate. I feel like... I'm being shown a picture of my memories.

"The snow was about to disappear, so it will be deformed from here on out."

　I've taught her before, apparently Becko has learned the knack of reform. Somehow, this guy seems to be growing up.

　Well... we don't have enough snow...

"What! You've got nothing to throw at!"
"That's right! You're using it too much!"

　Delia and Loretta say discontentedly.

"I want more snow, too,"

　Jeanette is already making a disgusting number of snowmen. Are you still going to make it?

"... well, come and get it from somewhere else."

　Standing in the middle of the grumbling crowd, Magda offers a solution.
　so
　The city is overflowing with snow.
　Moreover, elderly people may be in trouble because they can't even clear the snow.
　Even a sloppy young guy may not have done it.
　Snow may remain on a road that no one can pass by.

　... Yaplock's house may be ruined... ...he only saves money "for the kids" when he gets gold from corn...and rebuilds his house first.

"Well, my brothers,"
"'Huh!'"
"Gather your brothers and sisters who seem to be free, and get some snow from where you haven't finished clearing the snow."
"'Wow! Playing with snow!'""Good, Loretta! Let's go, too! This game is not limited to such a small garden! All 42 wards are battlefields for you!"
"It's a snowball fight involving Paula and Neferry!"
"Oh, Neferry!"
"'I'll send a few!'
"A blessed labour that has come down!"

　How hungry are you for work?

　In the end, all the brothers and sisters went out to rake up the snow in the 42 wards.
　They turn aside the snow from the road for passage, make a fuss all over the place, and bring the collected snow to the Yangdang-tei.

　I'm sure the people in the city were interested.
　to those who are making a fuss outside during the heavy snow season
　And when I went outside, there was no snow that I could have accumulated.
　If you follow the noisy crowd, there are various snow objects and snow houses.
　Furthermore, there is an unbearably good scent coming from the dining-room at the back of it. . . . . . . . .

　Well, there's going to be guests.



　So it's been eight days since the heavy snowfall started.
　Many people crowded the Yodamari-tei.

　It's just sad.
　This is not all the guests at the Yodamari-tei.
　Most of them are spectators who come to see the Petit Snow Festival.

　I'm afraid there are some people who eat something at the Yodamari-tei.
　Estella says, "We may not have an option to eat out because we have some food we have left behind." The spirit of not wasting food is great, though.

　However, kamakura has gained tremendous popularity.
　eat soup in a kamakura
　That seems to have caused a boom among the residents of the 42 wards.

　You can't do it at this time of year. Such a limited situation is fueling popularity.
　The line waiting for the soup was long...but the various snow statues that jutted out from the garden of the Yodamari-tei to the road in front of it entertained the eyes of the audience. None of the customers complained.

"Sometimes there's a guy who comes into the Yodamari-tei for a set meal."
"You must have been hungry while you were waiting." It takes time to make them."

　There were times when customers lined up for oshiruko walked out of line and into the shop.
　They usually order a set meal or a children's lunch, but when such a guy comes out, other customers start to imitate him.
　In particular, children... seeing some kid waving a flag happily out, the kid in line screams "I want it too" and enters the shop.
　Magdas and waitresses had to travel back and forth in and out of the restaurant, and Jeanette had to deal with all the food.

`I'd like to have a snowball fight,'
"Bear it! I'm here to help you, and you won't mind skipping!"

　Paula scolds Loretta and tears her way through the soup.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." It's hot, so please be careful."
"Your words are too polite."
"Your words are too coarse,"

　As we leave the kamakura, Delia and Neferry glare at each other.

　Paula and Neferry had only come to snowball fight at first, but offered to help the growing number of customers.
　There's nothing to complain about Paula. As expected, she's a Kantaltica girl.
　"So, the chicken farm's referee was worried about, and to my surprise, they were able to serve us properly."
　Well, I don't feel comfortable with honorifics such as adding "o" to my head and saying "I'll do it."

"I'll take down these empty dishes,"

　Well, that's it. I want to fix that...
"I'll take it down," that's all right.

"Oh, it's empty now? Then I'll clean it up."

　--a hundred times better than Delia......

"But I'm not going to be able to do it said.
"Huh? What'said he.

　Looking at the buried kamakura again, I muttered.

"Ginnett said he wanted to see a procession at the Yangtari-tei someday."
"It's working now."
"... and Jeanette must be confined to the kitchen to see this procession."
"Oh... I see. I can't help it."

　Estella laughs bitterly.
　Well, at this rate, the day will come when the procession will form at the Yangtari-tei. It's not just this special period.

"But I don't think Jeanette is like, 'Anything in line'."
"That's just what I thought,"

　He's aiming to be the old man's old brothel.
　I'll never come back to you again, Yodamari-tei in my memory... It'll be a lot of work to go beyond that. Anyway, memories need correction.

"What!"

　A customer who was about to leave the kamakura screamed after the meal.
　As I left the kamakura, the snow where my hands touched collapsed.

"Oh, sorry!"
"Oh, it's okay, it's okay!"

　I run over to the blue-faced female customers and smile.

"I'm making a fire in the snow, it's just melted."
"Well... what?"
"You don't have to worry about it."
"Well... but,"

　Still, a female customer pretending to care.
　Estella comes along and says with a refreshing smile.

"Don't worry, it's really all right." Weren't you more injured?"
"…………………………Yes"
"Huh?"
"Oh!? No, I don't like it!"

　A female customer holds her cheek in her hands and turns away from Estella. have red cheeks"Oh, hey! I'll be back!"
"Yes, yes. I'll be waiting for you..."
"Yes!"

　a female customer with large eyes and sparkling stars
　join hands with one's partner and start screaming

`Cool!'
"You're handsome!"
"I... cool... well, you guys..."
"I'll be back! Here's your change!"

　Without listening to Estella's words, the female guests left their money behind.

"... handsome man..."
"I hope you're handsomely said. Just say the usual thing and get a squeal."
"Thank you for the compliment that I'm not happy with at all..."

　Sentence
　I'm pretty handsome, too.

"What!? Umaro!"
"What! What's wrong with you? What did you just ask me, Oira?"
`Say 'yes' for now!'
"If Mr. Jiro says so, "No!"

　Oh, d*mn it!
　He's sentenced to taking a bath outside today!
　That's one Thalai, with Becko!

`If you look at it, it's both of them,'
"No, no. Estella is strong, isn't she?"
"But the beauty of Jiro is not his face... you know, the fun of his story?"

　Delia, Paula and Neferry exchange girls' talks.
　Baccha, Neferry. The fun of talking and the good looks are both my weapons.

"Before that... will you stop speaking on the assumption that I am handsome?"

　Estella doesn't look condescending, she says with a really unpleasant look.
　Oh, what? You don't like being compared?

"What do you think of yourself?"
"What?"
"Which is better, me or you?"
"That's Jillo, isn't it?"

　affirmative and prompt decision

"Oh, no, no!? I'm not classified as a handsome man, so I'm not going to win a game... Oh, no! Jiro's fool!"

　Why did you get in trouble now?
　Natalia comes out like an angry Estella into the dining room.

"Mr. Jiro, the sticky rice has steamed up. Please prepare rice cakes."
"Huh? Oh, I see."

　If you had a mortar and pestle, you could make a full‐scale rice cake... because you'd have to order a big tree around the millimeter. Maybe next year.
　This year, it's ground rice cake...

"Ugh!"

　I was going back to the kitchen when another male guest shouted.
　When I tried to get out, I held the entrance wall of the kamakura, and it seemed to have collapsed.

　Oh, I see. I'm sure this is...

　I look up at the sky. The clouds are thinning and light is peeping through the cracks.
　Well, Jeanette said, "It doesn't change so suddenly."

"Well, Natalia,"
"Yes,"
"Do you know the weather tomorrow?"
"...a fine day, I suppose,"
"Then the temperature is going to rise,"
"Well, it's about time."

"It's about time," said Natalia.
　I see. It's like this.

　The heavy snowfall season is over.
　It was cold until the tenth day, and I thought the snow would melt the next day... but the temperature would gradually rise and the snow would melt.

　Then it's time for salt.

"I'm going to talk to Jinet".
"I see. ... It's my first time."
"Huh?"
"I regretted the end of the heavy snow season."

　Natalia says expressionlessly.
　The profile looked unusually disconsolate.

"Well..."

　So I'll put on a bright face and say it.

"Next year it will snow so much that I don't like it,"
"...."

　next year
　Next year...

"Well, I'll report it to the manager,"
"I'll tell the clerk,"
"Oh, please,"

　That's all I have to say, and I go into the kitchen.

　Jeanette was busy cooking in the kitchen.
　Magda and Loretta were looking at the soup pot.
　In a timely manner, the kitchen has regular members of Yodamari-tei.

"Come on. Listen."When I talk to them, everyone looks at me.

"The kamakura is over today. There could be more danger to our customers."

　The three of them take a moment's breath at my words.
　But he seemed prepared somewhere, and no one objected.

"Well, it's getting hotter... and let's just put snow statues on display it says.
"I'm just wondering if it'll last another day."
"I'm sorry, but I can't help it."
"...See you next year." You can do it again."
"Well... but I'm sorry... Kamakura, it was fun..."

　Don't say it like a plaza.
　Yodamari-tei Open Terrace Kamakura...it sounds a bit nice, doesn't it? Let's do it under that name from next year.

"Well, it's all over..."

　Estella walks into the kitchen from behind me.
　... Huh? He must have gone in before I did... Oh, I see.

"Toilet?"
"I was serving you!"

　Tell Jeanette additional dishes while looking at the order paper.
　There was another order for a children's lunch.

Estella, can you order sticky rice?
"Huh? Should I crush it?"
"Oh, Magda, show me how to do it."
"...leave it to me,"
"Loretta,"
"Yes,"
"I'm going to declare the end of the business, so if you have any complaints, please try to persuade them. You're good at these things, aren't you?"
"Leave it to me! I'll tell you that I'm looking forward to it until next year!"

　The festival will come to an end one day.
　But next year...

"... what's the matter, brother?"
"Huh? Oh, no..."

　Something got stuck inside me.
　It seems to be very important, but it seems to be very trivial...

"Well, Mr. Jiro. Thank you very much."
"Oh, leave it to me."

　That's all right.
　Rather than that, we have to look at what we need to do now.

　When I went out and declared the end of the snow season, the guests were confused for a moment, but they realized the end of the heavy snow season and shouted, "I can't help it."
　When Loretta said "See you next year," smiles returned to the customers' faces, and the kids smiled at the adults by saying "I hope it'll be next year soon."


　Sales of oshiruko reached a record high that day.


　At night, Yodamari-tei closed.
　The kamakura was still alive, but some dirt had become conspicuous.

"Yasilo, what's the matter?"

　Perhaps because she was worried about me alone in the garden, Jeanette comes out and talks to me.

"Huh? No, I thought it was fun."
"Well, it was fun."

　Then he gently closed the door and lined up next to me.
　stand side by side looking at a kamakura

　It started with digging holes to warm up the cold magdas...I made a kamakura out of the snow that came out when I was removing the snow... I found myself in business.
　I'm sure some store will copy me next year. Well, that's fine, too.

"Why don't you come in?" a kamakura."
"Yes,"

　I go into a kamakura with Jeanette.
　This is the first kamakura made by members of the Yodamari-tei.

"It's warm, as expected."
`It's strange that it's warm when you're surrounded by snow,'

　The chairs are cool and cold because of the snow.
　It's cushioned, but it still cools your bottom.

"The customer told me."
"Huh?"
"Every time I come here, there's something fun waiting for me."

　giggle happily
　They must be tickling to remember when they were told.
　The words I was glad to hear from you were tickling no matter how many times I went through brain regeneration.

"Thanks to Jiro".
"No, this is the result of everyone's work."

　Snow statues are a collection of masterpieces by Becko and Imelda.
　Umaro, Delia, and my younger brothers worked hard on kamakura.

"I suppose you'll be back soon, gentlemen,"
"After the heavy snowfall, everyone is waiting for work."

　I'll be back today, or tomorrow.
　For some reason, my life with the noisy tenants is over.

"Hmm... You look lonely, Mr. Jiro."
"Oh? I don't think so. I see them almost every day."

　Humaroes will surely come to eat every day.
　Becko also shows up in every way.
　Delia meets frequently in negotiations with the river fishing guild.
　Estella and Natalia whenever they want to.
　It's the same for Imelda...

"...well, it was fun." I wonder if it'
"Yes, I had a lot of fun."

　I lived an unusual life in a special environment.I feel like I've camped or camped out.

"This year was a really fun year."

　Jeanette says.
　Well, it was the end of the year. I was too busy to remember.

"Mr. Jiro,"
"Huh?"
"I look forward to your continued support next year."

　straighten one's posture and bend one's back while sitting.
　Seeing Jeanette bowing deeply makes me feel unspeakably itchy.
　There's still a week left this year...
　But... if I were to be so formal...

"Oh, come on. Take good care of me next year, too."

　I think I'll have to greet you properly, too. 　
　...I'm not good at this kind of things.

"Oh! You two are monopolizing kamakura!"

　You can hear Loretta's frequent voice outside the kamakura.
　I hear a thud of noisy people coming out next.

　Oh, my God. I can't even relax with these guys.

"It's sloppy! I want to play with it, too.

　Don't use the kamakura like a verb.
　The whining Loretta is, well, not enough to play with.

　The snow will soon disappear. if it is the case

"From now on, we will hold a memorial event for the heavy snow season and the last heavy snow battle!"

　I'll enjoy myself to the very end. I thought so.

"The loser listens to whatever the winner says!"
"It's going to be fun! I'll take the game, Jillo!"
"I think I'll take part in the war, too." . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

　Delia and Estella announce their participation in the war with glaring eyes.
　Well, if you can, you'd better give it a try.

"Here's Magda, the final weapon!"
"... Magda wants to order Jiro to pretend all day long."

　Hey... You're the enemy, too...

"Then I will be permitted to carry the wax statue!"

　Jeanette rolls up her arms.
　I've got to knock him down first.

　The sun had set completely and the sky was dark.
　But the moon appeared through the clouds and the moonlight reflected in the snow, which felt strangely bright.
　and the light bricks peeping through the snow shone faintly.

　That day we had a snowball fight until late at night... after watching the summit battle between Delia and Natalia, we fell to sleep.


　This was the end of an extraordinary life that lasted for days.
　Everyday comes back again.
　It was kind of lonely, but somewhere I felt relieved.

　The loneliness of the end of the school trip and the reassurance of going home... that's what I felt like.
　So, should I say, "Oh, my house is the best place after all?"

　After all, everyday life is the best.

　When the snow melts, the construction of the street gate will resume.
　Once it's done, the construction of the highway will be completed.
　By the time it's over... I'm sure you'll have started doing something different again.

　A lot of things have happened this year.

　What? That's what you think at the end of the year, even in a different world.




　Oh, by the way. The winner of the snowball fight was Natalia. After all, skill is more important than strength.
