“Chapter 150: Moonflower”
We went through the backdoor to find a narrow path surrounded by thick roots and trees.
It’s also unusually dark, as if the blizzard wasn’t enough to cover my vision.
I can’t even see the shrine Fuji was talking about.
– We keep going straight, right (Takaya)
– Right.
But allow me to confirm something first.
(Fuji)
– … Sure
Fuji took a few steps forward and sent out a white dove, which I assume is her own messenger.
– Akane-san.
– …
She’s been avoiding me since we saw each other at the residence.
– Akane, do you hate master
– …
– Why are you sneaking glances at him
– Wh-! I’m not! I’m actually doing the opposi- Ah, forget it…
– Here it is.
(Fuji)
The white dove landed on Fuji’s shoulder.
They both nodded at each other.
– Shall we go
In a single line, Fuji, Me, Mike and Akane followed the path.
– It’s the first time I’ve walked on such soft snow like this.
The snow in my town used to be like slushy ice.
This is basically powder snow.
– I’m fine, don’t worry about me.
(Takaya)
– Why are you telling ME that (Akane)
– Well, Mike said you’ve been looking at me, so I thought maybe you were worrie-GWH!
A snowball the size of a hand hit my face.
– You’re so stupid.
– Not as much as the one that goes back to her hometown without saying anything!
I grabbed some of the snow and retaliated.
– What the hell do you think you’re doing!
Akane’s face turned red, but I don’t think it was from embarrassment this time.
– Listen, it’s not like I wanted to leave so suddenly! I was thinking about all of you the whole time…
– Then how about you consulted us before you left! That’s called being self-conceited!
Both of our faces were met with a snowball at the same time.
It felt nice having such a cold feel cool down our faces.
– Are you two fighting (Mike)
– Yes, we are! Mike, help me, throw snowballs at the blockhead.
(Takaya)
– Got it!
– What! Mik-NGH!
– I hit her!
– YOU BUNCH OF…
Somehow, we started a snowball fight.
Although it felt more like rather than snowballs we were throwing our frustrations against each other.
I figured Fuji would stop us but she’s just looking at me in disappointment.
I flopped onto the snow in exhaustion.
– Haah… Why Why did you leave without saying anything I know I’m a good-for-nothing idiot, but maybe I could’ve helped.
– Do you hate us (Mike)
– Well, I… What else was I supposed to do
– Will we find the explanation at the end of this path
– Yes.
Its name is Moonflower.
The divine sword that both protects the island and binds us.
