"You're not doing anything this year?

I was quick to respond to Hayato's words.

It's cold, so I'll pass on this one.

I replied.
I'm currently cozying up in the kotatsu I've prepared in the living room.
White is also napping on top of me, drawn by the intoxicating magic of the kotatsu, a futile human-making machine.

It's that thing, after all.
I'd rather spend the winter in a warm room, getting everyone to wear Santa's clothes and watching them.
It would be nonsense to go out in the cold for the sake of it.

Do you understand?
Turn up the kotatsu cloth and look inside and there it is, great thighs!　And also the underwear that is visible when you casually move your legs - and the underwear that is visible when you casually move your legs.

''Lord, it's cold, so don't flip it over!
That's right! The warm air is going to get out!

........I was pissed off.
The dog was supposed to be running around the yard, but neither Solte nor Renge seemed to be able to resist the magic of the kotatsu.

'Ladies and gentlemen. I've brought you some warm soup.
'Oh!　Thank you. I've been waiting for you!

Wendy and Mizella brought me my soup.
Even though it's cold from the kitchen, down the hallway, and down the road to this room, I can't help but be grateful that they're both wearing Santa clothes just to meet my expectations.
Misela is a Santa suit that has a belly button that just wants to see my navel.
She is a good girl who will wear it even though she is shy.

''Ugh ... but Aina's in good spirits despite the cold ...''

Aina is out in the garden to work out her daily routine by herself.
She's going to put on her Santa clothes after she finishes her training and sweats off.
Naturally, when everyone's Santa clothes are ready......................Mufu.

''Haha........last year was fun too, but this kind of thing is good too.......''
I know. I'm so busy that this kind of time is very precious to me.

Oh, the corn soup Wendy made for me is sweet and delicious.

'Oh, by the way, you got a present for the orphanage, didn't you?
Yeah. Misela and I. And I got you a cake and some food, too.

There's probably a party going on at the orphanage right now.
This time, Misela made accessories for the girls and I made playthings for the boys and gave them to them.

It's not just a matter of time before you get a chance to see them.

Looking out the window, it seemed to be starting to snow here and there with a small amount of white snow.
Thinking that Aina might catch a cold as well, I broke the curse of not wanting to get out of the kotatsu and got up and went out to the terrace.

''Uuuuuu!　It's cold!

The wind blows and in an instant the warmth from earlier is lost.

'Lord, hurry up and close it!　It's cold!
'Oh, oh, my God, I have a head cold!

It's cold, I said, and I know better.
I closed the door tightly and looked down into the garden, thinking about leaving it open to tease him, but then I saw a figure running towards me from the street in front of me.

Then I saw a figure running towards me from the street in front of me.
Oh, I don't want to get involved. I was going to pull back, but I was a step too late....

''Brother, I don't want to get involved!　It was just perfect!
It's not good. You're tired.
'My brother!　Wait, wait a minute!
I'm not waiting. Aina. It's snowing and you'll catch a cold, come back.
Hm?　All right. I should get back to it. I mean, it's okay?　True seems to be coming....
'I'm not here. Ughhhh........cold, cold......
'No, she's here!　I'm here!
'True. What's the fuss about?　You're a nuisance to your neighbors.

Oops, now even Hayato has come along.
If it was just true, I would just leave them alone and turn them away, but when Hayato is with them, it's not going to happen.
I'm not sure what to do.

It's a good thing that you're a good friend of mine.
'Itzki-san?　Itzuki-san is always a kind person. Isn't it your imagination?
All right, all right. Let's go inside and listen to the conversation. So come on in. It's too cold to talk in here.
Look. You said you'd listen to me.
Oh, what?　My brother...?

Yeah, shut up.
Because if you come in the house now, it's gonna be so loud.

"You scream, I'll get rid of you...
'What?　I wouldn't make a scene like that!

Yes, yes. You can tell me that when you get in the house and see what everyone is wearing.
I was having fun by myself.....
Well, since everyone is coming from behind Makoto and Hayato, that makes 8 people in total.
...let's get the other table ready.



'Whoa!　Woohoo!

True sees Wendy and the others in their Santa costumes, who were in the room as expected, and yells out.

'Shut up. You go on the terrace.
That's terrible!

Not bad.
I told you I'd kick you out if you made a scene.
Even if it's just a terrace, it would be gentle enough to give you warmth.
Even though I was enjoying savoring warm soup under the kotatsu and looking at the nipples and breasts of my thighs, shoulders, and waist while getting mellow.

''Huh ... nice kotatsu,''
Yeah. That's what I originally made for Hayato, so you can take it with you when you leave.
'Really?　Thank you!
My brother!　For me!
You have a house?
'I don't have a house but these are magic stone specs and can be used anywhere, right?　Then I want it!
...Okay, I'll get four, right?
Oh, thank you!　For the first time today I feel like my brother has been nice to me!

That's not true.
I'm only giving it to you because Mika and Misa are so relieved.

I didn't make it for you to give it away either!
I used to make a small one for a prototype, but I just don't need it for me!
It's not a tsundere. It's the truth.

'Yes. I've prepared soup for you all!
'Ooh!　Wendy's homemade soup!　Ha!　Santa's costume ... if you bend over ...!
Wendy. True doesn't need soup.
'Oh no!　Why!

Not to mention, it's because you put your mouth out to get a peek at Wendy's cleavage.
Why is this guy so disappointing when he can at least understand you as a man if you don't say it out loud?

'What a good match for the Lord, isn't it?
Oh my God...?　It's been a while since I've hurt you, huh?
My brother?　What does that mean?　My brother was so cold today, I'm about to cry!

You'll be fine.
You're a defensive type, so you can withstand it.
Maybe it's just your VIT and your MID is low.

So what are you doing here?

In the end, when Aina came back, I served the soup to True at the same time as Aina came back, and once everyone had settled down to cool off, I decided to ask her about the main issue.

''Huh... haha!　That's right!　This is no time to be lounging around!
...The magic of the kotatsu is unbelievable.

If you can see that, please leave me alone if you can.
My instincts, which have been hit by a lot of trouble, are telling me that something stupid is going to happen.
That's why I'm treating it coldly, as if I were giving up on it, but she doesn't seem to notice.

Look at that.
Mika is already working on her third amamikan, and Misa is mulling over a cup of hot tea?
Letty, Emily and Chris are also enjoying the kotatsu, and Mi is sticking to Hayato to keep warm, just like Shiro is doing to me.
There's no need to force yourself to do anything, you know.

'Brother!　Let's play in the snow!
Dismissed. Die.
'It's too much!　There will be no deaths, no deaths!
"Tahitian.
What's a tahine?　Don't say things that you can only understand in the letters!
DIE-LE.
I don't know anymore!


Is that it?　A snowball fight?　What are you gonna do, make a snow sculpture?
Are you aiming for a snow festival in Sapporo?
Haha, that's funny.

'Haha that's why I told you. I told you I wasn't going to do anything this year.
'Ugh, because you did it last year, didn't you?　You had a great party, didn't you?　I wasn't even there.... I want to have fun with my brother, too!
All right. Let's have a party. We'll cook the meat and serve the cake, right?

Then we'll do that for dinner today.
A good, warm meal would be very satisfying!

No!　Not so!　No, I'm not!　More active!　I like to feel like I can make as much noise as I can at the pool!

That's a powerful denial.
I know how you feel. You want to get your groove on.
But hey, these guys aren't teenagers anymore.
We're in our mid-twenties, and we can't handle the cold.
They're at that age where the sight of snow doesn't excite them, but makes them think about the train delays.

'Huh ... okay,'
Way to go, bro!
I'll make you a Santa suit for Mika and Misa and give it to you, and then you can go home.
I don't want... no... no... no...

Oh, he's endured.
You have such strong feelings for him........

''Ugh........I just want to have fun with my brother.......''

Oh, it's not cute when a man is already dreading it....
Don't look at me like such an abandoned big dog.
You don't look like a puppy, unfortunately.
But..........

''Hahaha..........''
So, big sigh...
I'll do it....
Oh, really?
Yeah. I'll play with you...
Yeah, yeah!

You're so happy like a child....
Well, I guess it can't be helped, can it? Since we're here, let's enjoy the fun of snow even for adults.
