Plum Blossoms & Snowflakes [Snowflakes 1]

[A few days later, first day of filming]

Makoto: …….ah. Producer-san is messaging us in the group chat.

Hidaka-kun is going to be able to join us in the early evening.

Mayoi: Early evening? Depending on the time, he can join the filming today too if we are lucky.

Aira: We are almost there, right? Actually, it’s the first time I ride a cable car.

 

I wonder how it feels. It’s different from trains for sure, I’m excited ~ 

Hajime: Tomoya-kun, the curry bread we ate at the previous rest stop was tasty, right?

I wanted to bring some to Mitsuru-kun too.

Tomoya: We’ll stop there again tomorrow so you can buy in the way back, what do you think? But it looks popular so I’m not sure if it’s gonna be available.

Hajime: Ah, sounds good ♪ In that case, I’ll take the chance to buy a souvenir for Nii-chan too.

 

Fufu. These rest stops have many unique souvenirs, so I’m excited.

 

Tomoya: Just take care to not spend too much? Ah, but Hajime is a thrifty person, so it should be alright.

Hajime: Rather than thrifty, it’s more like spending money makes me anxious….  hm?

Tomoya: Hajime, your phone is ringing.

Hajime: Yes, it seems it’s our client… hello, it’s Shino.

… yes. ….yes, is that so?

No problem, thanks for letting me know. Yes, see you later.

Adonis: …. What happened, Shino? Is there a problem?

Hajime: Yes….. Ayase-senpai, do you have a minute?

 

It was a call from the hotel. It seems the cable railway has been going through an extraordinary inspection since this morning.

Mayoi: Ah? Is it out of service?

Hajime: Yes. It seems it won’t be available for the next three hours.

 

The inspection is happening from the foot of the mountain upon the station halfway, so the cable car is operating from there to the hotel…

 

It seems this station is an hour away from here. What do we do?

Mayoi: (A three hour wait or one hour walk……)

 

(I would like to avoid physical activity before the filming, but our time to finish the job is limited)

...............

 

….. so, let’s walk there.

 

Even if we wait for three hours, the cable car might still be unavailable. So I would like to choose the fastest option to reach our destination.

B-but of course I respect everyone’s opinions. A-ah, what do you say….?

Aira: Aaaah. You were acting like a proper leader, but had to slip up just at the end ♪

I have no objections, though. I don’t want the crew to waste time at the hotel.

Makoto: Totally OK for me too! It’s better to do what we can than stay put.

Adonis: Yes. A walk in the mountain sounds like good exercise.

Hajime: Yes. And it seems this mountain is known for having stoats around. We might meet one ♪

Tomoya: Those are uncommon animals, so I don’t think it’s so easy to find? 

Anyway… I agree too, Ayase-senpai.

Mayoi: Thank you very much. Your endorsement reassures me.

 

Let’s focus on reaching that station and be careful to not get hurt.

 

[Half hour later]

Adonis: ........... ♪

Makoto: Otogari-kun, you look happy.

Adonis: Yes. The sight of Mashro tagging along with a stoat makes me smile.

Mayoi: I understand. It’s lovely, right….. ♪

Aira: Yessss. If you post on social media, it would go viral.

Tomoya: I’m not tagging along, it’s following me on its own!

 

It’s running around my feet ~ If I’m not careful, I risk stepping on it.

Hajime: Fufu. Tomoya-kun is amazing, loved by animals as usual.

Tomoya: The stoat is cute, so it’s alright. I just worry if scarier animals wouldn’t be attracted too.
