That house...

Winter 15: Tokyo, 5 days before Christmas

“Myself~ Let's go to the city center this Christmas~” A cute girl with brown hair and a cute face grabbed my hand and held my hand, giving me cat-like glances. She was like Other girls want to spend Christmas with their boyfriends. Eat fresh cream cake and exchange cute gifts.

"I'm sorry, I have to go home." Her beautiful face instantly softened.

“Again?”

"Since we've been together, no matter what school break I've had, I've never been with him...every time I ask, he always claims that he has to go home."

"He's also hurt. He wants to hang out with his girlfriend sometimes and take pictures to show to his friends. Why don't you ever understand him?"

"He's tired, so let's break up."

Finished speaking…my ex-boyfriend walked out of the classroom…

My name is Yukio...I'm an ordinary male student living in Tokyo and as you all know...I recently broke up with my girlfriend for some stupid reason. 'I don't have time for her'

Stop it...don't look like I'm wrong, okay? It's not that I don't want to go out with her, but because of the silly custom at home that says 'every long holiday, you have to go home', I regretfully don't have time for you! And since she can't stand it, I don't think I should hold her back because even if we don't break up this time, we'll have to break up anyway.

I miss you巡り会えた奇跡

(I miss you, the miracle that brought us together)

(My destiny lies with you[1])

The phone's ringtone interrupted my increasingly nonsensical thoughts. I shook my head to chase away all those thoughts and answered the call.

"Yuki speaking."

[Yuki…I probably won't go home with you.]

Mother's words coming down the phone didn't surprise me at all.

"yes"

[Ah! That's all for now, son. I have a meeting.]

Tid!

The call was cut off… I sighed and made up my mind that I had to go back to 'That house' was alone again.

My mother was a single mother and she worked very hard to forget about my father. Until sometimes those jobs make you unable to take time off during long holidays.

I grabbed my school bag and put it on my shoulder and started walking without any haste. Because today was the last day before the winter break, most of the children were still in school to chat before not seeing each other for several more weeks. The school normally (at this time of day) wouldn't have many people, so there would be students. There's still a lot to live for...

I walked out of school Straight to the train station Touch your Suika card to the card reader. Do everything the same as I used to do every day...the only thing that is different is the same. That is, I had to pack my bags to go back to 'that house'.

When the snow falls...the two of us meet

Winter 15 : 4 days before Christmas

The air in the cabin was so cold that white steam came out of the mouth when breathing, but even then, the first snow had not yet fallen. The sound of the person next to me wheezing was no more annoying than the sound of cicadas in the summer. I looked up. Going outside the train window, the view is completely different from an hour ago, trying to predict when it will snow. It would be strange if there was no snow on Christmas Day.

Soon after, the train slowed down and landed on the platform. I waited until all the passengers around me had gone down before I picked up my luggage and walked down. Two feet take you to walk like a person who knows his way around this city well...

My father was born here...a small town in Hokkaido. simple city Different from distant Tokyo, he finds love with a capital girl like his mother. They got married and both of them decided to give birth to me in Tokyo... And even though Father has passed away, I still have to come back here every school break according to 'Grandma''s orders.

Turning past the tea shop was the main house of the Ichinose family. Several cars lined up in front of the house were an indication that my cousins ​​had arrived first.

"oh! Look who's here!” A familiar bright voice and an arm snaking towards my neck caused me to frown.

“What is it, you idiot?”

The owner of the name smiled brightly. It was a man who was about the same height as me. In addition, their appearance is very similar, except that their hair color is orange like the anime hero.

"What the fuck, sir? Mom didn't come with you so you're upset?" Ray said and started searching my bag even though we hadn't even walked into the house yet.

“My dessert?”

“No!” I cut myself off and turned to bow to the other person who walked in.

"Hello, Sarada." Sarada smiled a little and asked like every time we met.

“Hey, how are you?”

“Yes,” I smiled.

"Let's go home. Grandma is waiting for you."

The smile on my face automatically faded…

The exam results of all the grandchildren were lined up in front of the highest-ranking woman in the house. Her face, wrinkled with time, was even more formidable when she didn't even think to smile and radiated a cold air that made all of her grandchildren shiver. Any other

“Does Ray Lan know? That my grandchild's academic performance has dropped.” A stern voice from the person we call 'Grandma' scolded the orange-haired person, but he only shrugged.

“I know.”

"Why don't you think about following Sarada? He studies so hard that he gets to the top in every subject, you see!" Granny raised her voice after that sentence, but once again I saw that Rei didn't care. He also said back that “Because I'm not Sarada. I can't do it.”

“Ray!” Grandma shouted in an angry voice. The personal nurse taps your shoulder to calm you down.

I feel envious of Ray...

He has never complied with Grandma's wishes even once. Since childhood, we have been pressured more by Grandma than from our parents about our studies, but our parents have never objected to Grandma about that. Only Ray's parents seem to object, refusing to accept the punishment Grandma has prescribed for any grandchildren whose grades or behavior declines. This may be due in part to Ray's parents being different. The remaining relatives who work in Grandma's company are considerate of her. I heard that

Ray's parents chose to find work elsewhere like my parents...

And that made Ray never pay attention to the rules that Grandma set at all...he once told me that 'Grandma's rules. It's nonsense, there's absolutely no way I can do it. Do you know? You want us to be top in every subject. Anyone who can do that is crazy.' But even then In order not to be too disrespectful, the academic results were kept in the average-good range.

Only, even though I believe that deep down, it is very smart...

As for me, before my father passed away It's like Ray. But after that Mother asked that at least I would please my grandmother. Because he must be very sad that my father passed away so quickly...

“Yukio…” The powerful voice calling my name made me gather myself and prepare myself for the judgment that was about to follow. I tried to keep my voice as calm as possible and replied,

"yes"

Winter 15 : Christmas Eve

boring...

It's a feeling that keeps rewinding in my head of my phone being confiscated (as Rayman said. (‘Silly Punishment’) The air was so cold that it was hard to breathe, but it still hadn't snowed. It's very strange. Even though today is Christmas Eve, there is nothing here that indicates this festival, no Christmas tree, no snow.

There were no big gift boxes...but it was as if people here didn't even care about the festival. If this was in Tokyo, cake shops would be working together to do promotions for companies in the city center and would be decorated with colorful lights...

Why do I have to be stuck in this crazy place?

“How long are you going to keep this dead-headed face?” Rei walked over and sat next to him. Gazing out at the old Japanese garden that Grandma ordered people to arrange under that still smiling face. I can feel that...Rei is feeling annoyed as well. He doesn't want to be stuck here on a day like this...

I didn't answer and we sat in silence until Ray spoke up. “There is an urban legend here...”

“Urban legend?”

“On a day when it was about to snow at midnight. If you go to the mountain behind the village You will meet an angel.”

I locked eyes with Rei before he spoke again, “And she will make your wish come true.”

Regardless of whether what Ray said was true or not....at 3:30 p.m. that day I had already sneaked out of the house.

Is the weather so cold that even if you wear a very thick coat, is it still cold? I've asked myself a hundred times. But the feet kept moving forward.

11:50 p.m.…

I sat down and leaned against a large tree. From this angle, the entire city was barely lit. All the houses turned off their lights and went to bed. All that was seen was my house where relatives were still working.

Five to fifty eight...

Only two more minutes...it's strange. Why have I, who come here every year, never heard such stories? Or maybe I'll be tricked by Ray...

midnight

quiet...

No sign of anything at all...

I got up and brushed off the dirt that was stuck on my pants.

Okay...I got screwed by Ray. Had to drag my body up here and still returned empty-handed...

The most idiotic...

Teng, Teng, Teng.

The moment the city bells sounded the arrival of a new day. Someone's body fell into my embrace...

Thump!

Girl!

My eyes widened as I felt the coldness radiating from the mysterious girl's body. And suddenly...

White mist rained down...

The figure in my embrace opened her eyes and her face let out a sweet smile as she said:

“Happy first snow day.”

girl of winter

'Fuyu' is her name...

A girl with big cobalt blue eyes and hair as bright as snow, about 10 years old, cheerful and smiles easily...

After that night, I came to see her again the next day. She describes herself as It is a 'winter spirit' and awakens only when the first snow of the year falls. When it snowed the last time, she would sleep until it snowed again.

“What is your name?”

the little figure asked as I sat down next to the stream which had begun to freeze. Her little feet walked out. I'm about to warn you. ‘The ice over there is thin.’ But as soon as the little girl stepped on it, The thin ice had become ice thick enough to support her weight.

“Ichinose...Ichinose Yukio.”

"Yukio? Fuyu likes that name." The girl smiled widely as she shook her hand until many snowflakes appeared.

“A present for Yukio!”

I could tell that this was no ordinary snowflake when I reached out and touched it. It doesn't dissolve like it should...

“Fuyu, are you alone?” I asked. She shook her head so fast that her hair flew out.

“It's not Fuyu, there are older siblings. Fuyu's elders are very kind.” The little girl laughed happily, raised her hand and started counting on her fingers.

“The oldest brother, Natsu, is the spirit of summer. The second brother's name is Tsuyu, the spirit of the rainy season. The third sister, Aki, is the spirit of autumn. The fourth older sister's name is Haru. He is the spirit of spring and Fuyu is the youngest. It is the ghost of winter.”

The little girl smiled brightly and held up all five fingers to show her. There are five people in her family.

Her brightness reminded me of the first time she introduced herself.

“Fuyu, my name is Fuyu, and I am the spirit of winter in this forest.”

Innocent as snow is the definition I have for her…

"Fuyu likes to be with Yuki. Being with Yuki makes Fuyu happy."

The little boy smiled with big round eyes and stared at me for a moment.

“Yuki will come see Fuyu again tomorrow, right?”

"certain"

I flirtatiously promised her.

The entire winter break was spent with you realizing. When Fuyu looked at me and held out her pinky finger like always.

“Next winter Yuki will come, right?”

I smiled and replied, “Oh, I promise.”

Winter 18

It's been three years since I first met Fuyu...

The past time has made me realize that Fuyu is not an ignorant child. she knows everything That was because she had lived in this world for a long time...but she just chose to watch the world go by with innocence and maintain her own purity.

“How did you come to be?” I asked her one afternoon. While we were playing chess

“Um...Fuyu was born from Mr. Tree.”

“Trees?” I repeated. Fuyu, seeing my confusion, took her hand off the board for a moment and explained,

“All ghosts are born from trees that are hundreds of years old and the season they were born. It will make us become ghosts of that season.”

“Where is that tree?”

“Deep into the forest, humans cannot enter. It will keep us safe.”

“…” The blue eyes lost their brightness for a moment before he said in a calm voice, “Because if the tree is cut down, We will fall apart.”

Winter 19

“Why is Yuki called Yuki?” the little girl asked. I hooked the bait to a Fuyu fishing pole and traced circles on the frozen stream. They melted to reveal clear water below. I dropped my fishing rod and sat back on the mat.

“Because I was born in winter.”

"When was Yuki's birthday?"

“December 26...December 26.” The little girl's eyes widened. He laughed and laughed, “What a coincidence! Fuyu was born that day."

"Hm? Who told you?"

“The elders told Aki that when Fuyu was born, they were very happy. For the first time in hundreds of years, the spirits of the seasons have come together to welcome new members.” This child's eyes always sparkled when talking about her older siblings. I think Fuyu loves her older siblings very much…

“So, does Yuki have any siblings?” I shook my head.

“Only my mother and father passed away a long time ago.”

“Fuyu, I'm sorry…” the little girl muttered. I gently caressed her head. “Let's face it, it was a long time ago.”

“It's better to do this! To atone. Next year, let's celebrate our birthday together! Fuyu will prepare the best gift for you!” The girl said earnestly, a small finger being extended in front of her like always. “Do you promise that next winter we will be together?”

I smiled, "Uh... Promise." At that moment, my head suddenly thought of something. “Aren't you planning to go play in the city sometime?”

“Really!?!?” Fuyu's eyes lit up, "Fuyu has never been to the city before. Mr. Tree forbade me because he was afraid Fuyu would cause trouble." At the end of Fuyu's sentence, her voice sounded irritated. Before turning and speaking to the void, “Fuyu, can I go?” I couldn't hear anything except the wind gently shaking the leaves, but the other person didn't seem to think so.

When the little face smiled happily, "Yay, I love you Ton the most!"

“Fuyu, eat slowly,” I warned the little girl next to me for the hundredth time, I don't know, when the playful girl ran into this shop. Going out to the store is like playing and even taking food without paying. Makes me have to keep paying... “It is very delicious. Yuki, try some!” The girl handed over soft ice cream, not knowing that no normal person would eat soft ice cream when the temperature was near sub-zero temperature like this!

But when my eyes met those clear, innocent eyes that looked directly at me I couldn't deny it...

Eat and eat...

The sweet taste and coolness that filled my head made me quickly down the hot green tea that the waiter brought to me.

It's cold!

"Yuki, what's wrong? Is the soft cream not delicious?" Fuyu tilted her head and asked.

“Cool,” I replied. The little fairy's bright face lit up with a smile, followed by bright laughter that could be heard throughout the area.

“Oh… Yukini gets cold easily. Fuyu still doesn't feel anything!”

I'm not a snow fairy like you! I bared my teeth, but all the little girl did was laugh. Oh, good, good! Laugh!

“Haha Yukini is funny.”

After that, I swore to myself that I would never eat soft serve ice cream in front of this child again.

Winter 20

“Fuyufuyu, where are you?” I called out to the little girl who today disappeared into the forest without waiting for me while walking up the mountain with difficulty because of the snow that clung to the steps. I searched for the little girl until the sky. It's getting dark...

“Where are you going?”

With the word out, my surroundings were transformed into a large ice rink. A familiar figure disappeared and stood in front of me, bright blue eyes staring at me before she smiled. “Happy birthday, Yuki,” the little girl said sweetly, reaching out to me and gently touching my face. “I am very happy.”

I feel so guilty...if I'm not mistaken, today is her birthday as well. But I didn't prepare any gifts at all...

“Thank you,” I mumbled.

The little girl half-leads me, half-drags me out into the middle of the ice rink. With a flick of her hand, my shoes turn into skates. “What are you doing?” Without an answer, Fuyu starts dancing, the sweet, soothing music playing. From where I can't know. The moonlight shining down on her made her look like an angel...”

Can I dance with Fuyu?” She held out her hand…

And of course I grabbed it without hesitation, “Happy birthday....and sorry.”

“What is the matter?”

“I didn't prepare any gifts for you.” The sweet face tilted her head before smiling. "I don't see anything wrong with that. Yuki is thinking too much!"

But when she saw my still uncomfortable expression, she said, 'Then come and see Fuyu here...is it okay to come here every year?' Just like the first time we met, she held out her pinky finger.

At that moment, I realized that....I had always been in love with the little girl in front of me.

Winter 21

Seven years ago, I met a girl with whom I spent winter break every year since we met. Winter has become a season that I eagerly wait for to come. I want to meet you... I want to talk and play like always. I want you to use those clear eyes to look at me and ask to take me on a trip. ..

I love you

That's the short definition I told myself.

I tightened the 'gift' in my hand, intending to take it to her as a birthday present. That child must be very happy...she's never received a gift before (or maybe from her older siblings...after all, I'm the first human to give it to her!)

“Fuyu! Fuyu!” I called out, but there was no answer. Not even the figure of the child that was supposed to appear and smile at me like always. ‘Where are you?’ I thought and decided to sit and wait for her until nightfall. But until then, Fuyu still hasn't come...

Today is the last day....

Tomorrow I have to return to Tokyo but the little girl hasn't come yet. Where exactly is she? Fuyu appears every time it snows. This year it even snowed early. Why? Why doesn't she show up...

I ran around looking for her but couldn't find her.

Shit!

'Fuyu was born from a tree'

Suddenly, what she had told me echoed in my head.

'tree?'

'All ghosts are born from trees that are hundreds of years old and the season in which they were born. will make us become ghosts of that season'

'Where is that tree?'

'Deep into the forest, humans cannot enter. It will keep us safe.'

I ran, ran without thinking about my life. The next sentence she said filled me with fear, fearing that what I thought would become reality…

'Because if the tree is cut down we will fall apart'

“Yuki! Yugi!” I called out to Yugi, but he couldn't hear me…even though I tried to tell him. I came to see him from the first day he called me by name, but the difference was…Yuki couldn't see or hear me. I tried to let him know…that I was here and safe.

Yugi ran forward, deep into the forest where the sacred tree stood. I tried to stop humans from going there. Besides not knowing the way They could easily freeze to death. But since Yuki couldn't hear what I said, I could only pave the way for him to lead the way.

"Fuyu! Where are you?!"

I'm here... beside you...

When I reached the sacred tree, I saw Yuki go silent. And then he started crying…

This is something I don't want to happen…

Trees are about to be cut down and I'm about to disappear.

Right now, my energy is so low…I can't even appear or talk to him.

Because the Sacred Tree was much larger than the other trees…the woodcutters were only able to cut down half of it before they returned. But I'm sure they'll come back and cut it again.

Everyone was very angry…Natsu wanted to kill those people but he couldn't…We have a rule that strictly forbids harming humans. My brothers really want to be with me, but they need to sleep during this season. I feel sorry for the brothers. I'm not sure when they wake up again. Will they find me?

I said goodbye to them in advance and we hugged each other for a long time. Before they fell asleep There's only one person left. That I have to say goodbye...

Yuki…

My little boy, he doesn't know how much I love him… Even though my body is young, I have been around for a long time. Will not know the word 'love'...

I love this child…the child I met by accident many years ago…the child who makes me look forward to waking up more than anyone else…

But now this child is crying… crying and I can't do anything…

For hours Yuki sat there crying until he fell asleep… I stared at his sleeping face. Pitch black hair, smooth skin like a child's skin, thick eyelashes...

I sat down next to him. I want to stop time here, I don't want time to separate us from each other...

trap! Suddenly, snow from the top of the mountain came crashing down!!!

“Yuki! Yuki! Wake up!" I tried to call out. If he didn't hurry and dodge He must die!

“Yuki! Wake up!” The snow was already coming towards him. Damn it!

Not in time!

I decided to use the last bit of my strength to create an ice dome.

To protect my little child...

promising!!!!!

The sound of snow hitting the barrier woke him up. His light brown eyes stared at me in shock. before he moaned

“Fuyu…where have you gone?” I didn't have the strength to answer. My energy was completely used up in the ice dome. My spirit is about to break...

“Fuyu, what happened?!”

“Happy belated birthday,” I said. Try to smile as wide as possible. I saw his eyes widen and well with tears. without anyone saying anything We both moved to hug each other.

"Oh...happy birthday," Yuki muttered in response. A necklace was gently put on me…

Necklace with a snow pendant…

“I love you,” he said. Those words were like candlelight in the middle of winter…so warm that you wanted to cry.

My body slowly disintegrated part by part…

“Fuyu, too, loves Yuki the most.”

Those were my last words before everything turned white. And the snow necklace will fall to the ground…

A long time ago, I met a girl with large, cobalt blue eyes. Hair as white as snow, about 10 years old, cheerful and smiles easily...a girl who says she's a fairy but I think she looks more like an angel...a girl who is observant and has the personality of a small child. Even though I myself am already a hundred years old...

Every time it snows I can't help but think of you.

'Happy first snow day,' she said when we first met.

'Fuyu too...loves Yuki the most' and the last words she said Before the snow falls It was as if they were tears from above...

"Yuki-san, it's time to go into the meeting," the personal secretary's voice called out.

“I know,” I replied. Looking out the window at the snow falling...

Thinking of angels...
