My daily life in love is too contrary to my character.

The sky had turned dark blue, the red hues of the setting sun had faded, and the pale moonlight quietly emerged at the horizon where the sky met the earth.

The overhead lights suddenly turned on, and now they, along with the shop lights, illuminated the way for passersby.

The bird circled in the air before landing on the telephone pole, looking down at the crowd below.

“It’s already six o’clock without us realizing it,” Shiraishi Sawah glanced at his watch, stood up and stretched, and said to the two girls, “Let’s go, it’s time for dinner. I used my brain and body this afternoon, and I’m starving now.”

"Okay, let's go. Your councilor recommended a few good restaurants to me. We can go and have a bite."

Takanashi Yuuko got up and skillfully took Shiraishi Sawa's arm, but there was no one on her other side.

Shiraishi Sawa turned his head to look at Kuramochi Sakura, who was holding his arm on the left, and asked in surprise, "Didn't I say that we don't need to calculate the bet?"

"A bet is a bet, and a loss is a loss. The Kuramochi family will never go back on its word." Kuramochi Sakura didn't look up. It was the first time she had ever held a man's hand, and she felt very strange. She looked down at the tips of her shoes and said in a muffled voice.

She then realized that even if she looked down now, she could no longer see the entire shoe surface; her vision was obstructed!

What are you still holding back for? Isn't this more important than anything else?

"Yay! Let's go, I'm hungry too!" In an instant, Kuramochi Sakura happily pulled Shiraishi Sawa's arm and walked forward.

Shiraishi Sawa looked at the girl strangely. Although he didn't know what was going on, he still pulled Takanashi Yuuko along to follow.

"Takayuki, look, I was forced into this!"

"It's okay~ As long as you can handle it, Shiraishi." Takanashi Yuuko replied with a smile. Besides, since everyone was wearing long sleeves, they were just holding hands, so there was no skin contact at all.

My life's dream has been partially fulfilled. Sigh, next book... I wonder if I'll meet twin sisters in my next life?

Feeling the mixed emotions of envy, jealousy, hatred, and surprise in the eyes of the men around him, Shiraishi Zexiu felt completely at ease.

This is an even more eye-catching combination than when I was shopping here this afternoon, even though it's just a different arrangement.

--

“I suspect that the reason that congressman recommended you here was just to see the geisha,” said Shiraishi Sawa, putting the last piece of beef from the middle of his plate into his mouth while watching the performance on stage.

With snow-white faces, red sashes, yellow kimonos, and high-coiled hair, three geishas dressed identically had their sleeves fluttering from side to side as they danced.

"But the taste is pretty good too." Kuramochi Sakura took a sip of soup to cleanse her mouth and commented.

"Speaking of which, Kuramochi-san and Takanashi, do you think geisha dancing is beautiful? To be honest, I find it hard to describe. Also, this makeup, I really can't appreciate it, it's... indescribable." Shiraishi Sawahide leaned forward and lowered his voice as he spoke.

He didn't understand why the guests on both sides were watching with such interest, but this might also be a reflection of his lack of artistic appreciation.

"It's watchable, but I didn't find it particularly good," Yuko Takanashi said, nodding and shaking her head in a candid manner.

"So you guys also think it's not good!" Kuramochi Sakura waved her hand. "I find it very boring and can't stand watching it."

"You guys seemed to be enjoying it very much?"

Kuramochi Sakura sighed and stood up. "Let's go. If you don't like it, don't stay. If it were anyone else, I would have said so already, but you are my friends. I thought you wanted to keep watching."

"Honestly, if it were you or Takanashi who jumped, it would be quite watchable, and I would be looking forward to it. But them? Forget it."

"Dream on." Kuramochi Sakura had already begun to tidy her clothes.

Shiraishi Sawa picked up the macaron that came with the set meal, savoring the cloyingly sweet filling beneath the thin, crisp shell, and then placed the crescent-shaped macaron back on the plate.

"Sorry to bother you."

--

After dinner, the three of them strolled around as usual, with Takanashi Yuko back in the middle.

"You ate pretty quickly. What are you going to do with the rest of the time? If you don't have any ideas, let's keep shopping," Kuramochi Sakura asked.

Takanashi Yuuko immediately gave up answering and looked at Shiraishi Sawa Hide.

"No..."

"The snow and wind were really strong just now," the three girls said, passing by each other as they chatted excitedly.

"Walking in the snow was really difficult, and this wasn't even the worst level. The staff said that in reality, it's sometimes even more extreme. Turns out, the snow rescue videos aren't actually that outrageous after all!"

“Now we do,” Shiraishi Sawah changed his tune, “Kuramochi-san, and Yuko, one of you lives in Tokyo and the other in Nara, so you probably haven’t experienced a blizzard, have you?”

"No, what's wrong?"

"Would you like to experience a blizzard? We offer such an activity here, although I've only heard of it before; it's called 'Snow Country Snowstorm'."

“Since we have nothing else to do,” Kuramochi Sakura thought for a moment and quickly nodded, “Let’s go have some fun!”

There was a place in Aomori that provided this service. Following the map, the three of them entered a building and found the shop on the thirteenth floor.

"Hello, are you three guests planning to experience the snow country's snow blizzard?" The receptionist asked with a bow as soon as the three entered.

"Yes."

"Is this a trial session?"

"Yes."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

Soon, a robust middle-aged man walked over.

"Hello, let me introduce myself. I am Jingqiao Tonghuo, and I am the instructor here. Please follow me. I will explain the precautions to you on the way."

"First of all, please 'arm' yourselves here with coats, scarves, and other warm clothing," Kyohashi Michika led the three to a dressing room, where there were cotton-padded coats, trousers, scarves, and other items in various sizes.

“The wind and snow will be very strong during the experience, and it would be a loss if you get cold. The three of you are not dressed warmly enough. Make sure there are no gaps in your clothes so that the wind can blow in. Like in this picture…” Kyohashi Michika began to explain in detail.

......

The changing rooms were separated by gender. Just as Shiraishi Sawa was about to close the door, Kyohashi Toshika walked in.

"Is there anything else you'd like to say?"

"Would you like any special services?" Kyohashi Michika asked with a grin, his expression somewhat... lewd.

"What are you doing?" Shiraishi Zexiu took a step back. Although the other party was strong, he was not one to be trifled with either.

"You've misunderstood, sir. It's that we can help couples who come together to strengthen their relationship." Kyohashi Michika gave him a knowing look.

"Sorry, I don't need it." Shiraishi Zexiu waved his hand in refusal.

“It’s alright,” Kyohashi Michika said undeterred. “As a lifeguard, I’ll be standing by the side the whole time. The blizzard won’t be at its maximum. If you need a stronger blizzard, just raise your hand towards me…”

"Okay, okay, thank you for your trouble. You can go out now," Shiraishi Zexiu said perfunctorily.

"Ok."

--

A large ball and two small balls arrived at the agreed location.

"You guys are so round," Big Ball said with a smile.

"How dare you say that, Shiraishi-kun?" The smallest ball awkwardly put its hands on its hips. "You're the size of both of us!"

They were truly fully armed, wearing earmuffs, hoods, masks, and even special snow goggles, with almost no exposed skin.

The door in front of us opened from the inside, and the pile of snow collapsed outside the door. From the cross-section, we could see that it was several tens of centimeters thick.

Inside was a room about fifteen meters long, filled with pure white, including the walls and ceiling. At the end of the room was a huge machine with a dark, gaping opening, as if it were about to devour someone.

The door behind them was closed, and the three of them were immersed in this snowy wonderland.

"I've never stepped in such deep snow before, it's so hard to walk." Kuramochi Sakura looked down at the snow that had spread up her calves and was almost up to her knees after she stepped in.

"That's what we're experiencing."

"Press the red button below the blower to confirm. Are you ready? Three, two, one, let's begin!"

As soon as the words were spoken, white snowflakes slowly fell from the snow machine in the sky, creating a beautiful scene.

The beautiful scene lasted less than a second. As the blower at the end started operating, the airflow, solidified into a tangible form, gushed out from the dark opening, carrying with it a flurry of snowflakes that hurtled towards the three of them.

"This is so much fun!" Kuramochi Sakura exclaimed softly, lowering her body and pulling Yuuko forward step by step.

Shiraishi Sawa Hide walked relatively easily, but since the two of them were already ahead, he followed behind.

The wind and snow carried a biting chill, but the snowflakes hitting the goggles were blocked by the spherical clothing and made a crisp 'snap' sound.

One end of the white scarf slipped off his shoulder, and Shiraishi Zexiu turned his head to the side, grabbed the scarf, and swung it behind him.

The wind and snow suddenly intensified! Kuramochi Sakura and Takanashi Yuuko, who were walking ahead, stopped in their tracks, hand in hand.

"How... big..." The words were barely audible amidst the sound of wind and snow.

Shiraishi Sawa looked at Kyohashi Michika next to him in surprise.

He was giving himself a thumbs up.

[Kyohashi Michika's perspective]: Shiraishi Sawa looked at him, carefully reached his hand to his waist, and then suddenly raised it to shoulder height.

Sigh, you know how boys are—saying one thing but meaning another. I understand, I'll grant your wish.

"It's so hard to walk, it's too big to walk at all." The two girls were walking too slowly, so Shiraishi Sawa pushed the snowdrift and quickly got closer to them, and his words became much clearer.

Upon hearing this, Shiraishi Sawa looked at Kyohashi Tomokazu and gestured downwards with his hand to indicate that he should turn it down.

He looked at himself and made an OK sign with one hand.

The gale had swept everything away, and they could hear nothing. Snowflakes pelted the three of them like bullets.

The two girls were caught off guard by the sudden increase in snowstorm and lost their footing, falling backward. Fortunately, Shiraishi Sawa reached out in time and caught them in his arms.

With difficulty, he turned his head and saw Kyohyo Tomohiro, dressed in red, his thumb wearing a red glove shining brightly in the wind and snow.

???

[Kyohashi Michika's perspective]: When looking at Shiraishi Sawah again, he was waving one hand from bottom to top, which should be his way of telling him to increase the size. After all, he had just been told that to lower the size, he should raise one hand above his head and wave it from side to side.

Indeed, it's not good that the girl can still walk.

It's impossible that Shiraishi Sawa didn't listen to his explanation at all while he was in the locker room.

As you wish! Kyobashi Tosho has set the wind and snow to the highest level.

The girl who had fallen into their arms found a lifeline and clung tightly to Shiraishi Sawa's arm on either side to block them.

They bowed their heads, their black hair dancing wildly in the wind from the brim of their hoods, the many snowflakes clinging to them resembling the dancers' magnificent costumes.

To reduce wind resistance, Shiraishi Sawa had to lower his head, and once he lowered it, he couldn't lift it up. He could only hold the two girls tightly and walk forward step by step.

[Kyohashi Mitsuhiro's perspective]: Shiraishi Sawa has started moving. As expected, I completely understood his meaning. But he's really brave, moving in this kind of wind and snow. I thought he would lower his speed before moving. So strong!
