As summer gave way to winter, winter arrived in the blink of an eye!
Winters in the Warring States era were cold. There was no heating, no air conditioning, only charcoal fires! Still, that was enough.
Kagome Higurashi was not cold. Perhaps it was because her body now possessed the ultimate physical strength of a great yokai. She stood by the window, watching the snowy scene outside.
The snow fell for an entire day. Every flake was about the size of a goose feather, and piles upon piles of snow covered the ground. Looking out, they resembled endless mountains rising along the roadside.
But this did not affect the children playing in the village. On the contrary, it saved them effort and time, and they happily built snowmen. Children of this era had very few things to play with, and snow was definitely one of their greatest joys. No matter how cold it was, they were not afraid.

Her child had no father, but it had two...
