The north wind howled, and heavy snow fell.
Lying on his back on the Sofa in the hall, watching the snow quietly begin to fall outside the courtyard from an upside-down perspective, Bai Zhi suddenly wanted to sing "The Wolf Falls in Love with the Sheep."
This lunch, if one ignored the strange atmosphere caused by Calamity Reimu's habitual gesture during the latter half of the meal... could actually be called an enjoyable gathering for both host and guests.
When they had eaten together at the World Tomb before, Calamity Reimu and Fireworks of Romance would often compete to put food into his bowl. That chopstickful had simply been a conditioned reflex after seeing a certain dignified one make a move...
But Bai Zhi knew the reason; the others did not.
And precisely because of that, during the latter half of the meal, half of Dead Zero's attention had shifted away from Wan Ci. The half she had shifted was now entirely focused on her own best friend...
Then, as if heaven had lent a hand, a sudden flurry of goose-feather snow directly piled a thick layer over the ground.
Calamity Reimu, who felt inexplicably awkward to death, had originally planned to find an excuse to leave after eating. But because of this sudden heavy snowfall, she no longer had a reason to go.
...She had only accompanied Xiaoqiu here to serve as a wingman and mooch a meal. How had things turned into this kind of situation?
And why had she suddenly lost her mind just now?
Curled up on the Sofa with a pillow in her arms, Calamity Reimu looked at someone not far away who had eaten so much that he was lying stiffly on the Sofa like a corpse, utterly unable to make sense of it.
