Another Arcadia Online

University winter break.

I got time, so I decided to go to Hokkaido to see Pearl. It seems that Pearl State lives alone in Sapporo's apartment, probably scattered.

You're going with me and Mano.

"Coming! New millennium!

"I don't even feel like it's been a long time. I came here last month."

"It's been since my school trip for me!

I've worn it pretty thick, but what's it like out there?

Yes, thrilled, when I went outside, it was shining and snowing, a little cold. That's Hokkaido. The cold's different...

Plus, snow. It's not the first time I've snowed, but it's a little unusual. And I can't believe it's so piled up. If it was where I live, I'd already be in a big hurry.

"Well, take a cab..."

"It is... Wow"

I slipped tight and fell.

I get up.

"Misaki. Normal shoes are dangerous, aren't they?

"Sounds like... There he is..."

But this is the only shoe I have...

Mano laughed bitterly and made me stand up.

"Let's go buy some shoes first"

I bought boots at a shoe store in the mall. They also have anti-slip on the soles, which means they don't really slip.

As far as I'm concerned, sneakers are easier to move and I like, but if Mano tells me that fashion is because I'll look at it for you, then I'll have to obey.

"So, do you have an address for Pearl State?

"Eh, because he said he only lives in the student hall... Here, what is it?"

"I wonder if we can come in. I'm not a parent or anything..."

I'm in front of the student hall, but I was stuck without knowing if I could come in.

Then a large number of men and women emerge from inside.

"Is that it? What's wrong? Can I help you?

"Uh, uh"

When I try to answer.

"Ah! Not Mano!? That actress's!

"Wow, seriously!? I'm a fan. Me."

"It's a real Mano! It's Raw Mano!

And, Mano is surrounded.

Mano was grinning and shaking hands and signing. Then, the door to the student hall opens again.

"You guys! Don't surround me!

"This voice..."

"Hii! It's Master Ip Hide!

"Master Ip Hide?

Everyone looked at Pearl with horrible eyes.

When Pearl looked at me, she was dyeing her face blue.

"Pearl. Long time no see. So, should we talk about this in a little detail?

"... Huh"

Move the place, coffee shop.

Three men and three women who were surrounding Mano, Mano and Pearl. And I, Pearl State, was moist.

"So, why are you called Master Ip Hide?

"... previously gutted and bummed"

"Why did you come clean?

"... because the game got in the way"

Apparently, Pearl State was kicked out of the way of the game.

As usual, or something.

"That Master Leaf Hidden is making a mess..."

"Who's that girl?

Hey. I'm just a gym student.

No, well, leave that alone.

"Don't you think it's pretty unreasonable to be angry because you got in the way of the game? Did they do it intentionally?

……

"Sounds different. Pearls. Apologize."

"So, but..."

"Apologize to you all."

……

Pearl turned to the men. And keep your head down.

"I'm sorry."

"I made you apologize to that Master Leaf Hidden!?

"Oh, no, that woman. Who is she?

"... uh, my childhood tame"

"It's Misaki Hirose. You're not my idiot."

"" "" "" "No! That's okay!!!

Damn it. Why would I have to scold Pearl State for coming to Hokkaido?
