It reminded Muryōtō Ryūsuke of when he had first met his wife.
"Now that everyone has changed, let's set off!" Pushing those thoughts aside, Muryōtō Ryūsuke smiled and spoke gently to the two Himekos.
"Let's go to the Ice and Snow Festival!"
The moment Muryōtō Ryūsuke finished speaking, Little Himeko immediately cheered.
Little Himeko was dressed in a sky-blue yukata, looking utterly adorable. Only Muryōtō Ryūsuke's men's kimono looked... well, not particularly good.
Women's kimono and yukata in the Far Eastern Land were distinctive and beautiful. As for men's... Himeko simply could not appreciate them.
"So cold..."
When the door was opened, a gust of icy wind blew into the house. Before Little Himeko had even stepped outside, she could not help shrinking her little head back.
Although the sun was out, it sped up the melting snow and instead made the surrounding temperature even colder. Little Himeko's clothes were not thin, but she still felt a little chilly.
Even so, the cold could not dampen Little Himeko's excitement in the slightest. She showed absolutely no intention of backing down.
"Hold my hand!"
Seeing Little Himeko constantly fidgeting her feet beside her, Himeko held out her hand.
Though she did not quite understand why, Little Himeko glanced at her future self before placing her little hand in Himeko's.
"Huh?"
The instant Little Himeko took Himeko's hand, she felt a warm current flow into her body, and the cold suddenly no longer seemed so bad.
"Feeling better?"
Seeing Little Himeko look at her in surprise, Himeko asked softly.
"Mhm."
Although she did not know how Himeko had done it, Little Himeko truly felt much warmer now.
"Then let's go!"
As they spoke, the three of them left the house. After Muryōtō Ryūsuke locked the front door, they headed straight for
