Reimu Hakurei has embarked on a journey to resolve the mutation.

Contrary to her previous rejection, the shrine maiden almost immediately threw herself into the task of resolving the mutation...... Of course, the reason for this is not as a joke of a certain man, but because of his charm.

Hakurei Reimu is a very ethical shrine maiden. This may have drawn the sneer of many of her acquaintances, but it was only because they had been deceived by the girl's appearance of laziness, and that they were only her acquaintances, not her friends.

Hakurei Reimu's true friends are more than enough to count on one hand.

As much as she hated trouble, Reimu Hakurei never wanted to escape from her duties. There may be times when she'll wait and see for a while, but eventually she'll devote herself to the shrine maiden job, and once she gets moving, nothing can stop her.

Her strong ability to act is just out of her own strength. The girl is so strong, she thinks that her shoulders are enough to carry the burden, so there is no reason to let go.

However, this is not a reckless act in the ordinary sense.

Reimu Hakurei is never strong, she is a more ruthless and resilient person than she seems.

It's not evil, it's not cruel, it's just an almost ruthless coldness. …… It's also the coldness she should have as a Hakurei witch. Hakurei Reimu has a powerful intellect that transcends emotions and is strong enough to overcome her likes and dislikes.

If it's something she can fix, then she won't give up anyway. But if she can't achieve something, then she won't have the slightest effort in the first place. This kind of character that has reached the extreme of reality has also been criticized by the Martial God, but for the sentence "It's really cold." Reimu ignored it effortlessly.

However, now Reimu can't ignore the harsh environment around him like he ignores Feili. This made her feel very bad when she was still a mortal child.

Easily defeating the restraints of gravity, the shrine maiden soaring in the sky is moving aimlessly.

It's foolish to go out without a clue. Although she knew that this abnormal weather was definitely an anomaly, Reimu didn't have any clues as to who the real culprit was, and for her who wanted to solve the anomaly in one day, the current situation couldn't be worse.

She should have asked the man before she acted--Recalling the man's smile as he watched her leave, Reimu felt inexplicably angry.

He definitely knows something. Reimu's instincts, which belonged to the girl, were indeed aware of this. But she left without asking, and such a rash decision made Reimu secretly laugh at her innocence in her heart.

At the same time, she was also a little angry at Feili who refused to tell her the truth.

Reimu Hakurei is rarely really angry, even in the face of someone with malicious intentions, it is not much different to her than a pebble on the side of the road. However, in the face of Feili, Reimu still can't help but feel the blood surge. There is no doubt that this man is the culprit who disturbs her emotions.

Even though the cold wind whistled in her ears and the cold air made Reimu feel unbearable, none of this could extinguish the fire in her heart. Although sulking now is completely useless, but even so, Reimu can't help but can't stop complaining about a certain man in her heart.

「…… No, that's stupid."

But this state didn't last long, and soon Reimu shook her head with a gloomy face. The knee-jerk of blaming in my heart was completely stopped.

When the anomaly should have been resolved as soon as possible, he was still thinking about that man...... It simply doesn't get any more stupid than that. Reimu couldn't help but spit on his foolishness in his heart.

However, the power of Hakurei Reimu was once again manifested at this time.

She never wastes much time on useless self-examination, and the depression that ordinary girls often have is rarely seen in her. Once in action, Hakurei Reimu's strength and ruthlessness will be amazing. Fulfilling the duties of a shrine maiden, she is more like a witch who acts entirely on reason than the usual lazy and trouble-feared girl.

What she had to do now was to find the source of the anomaly - and after confirming her purpose, Reimu began to search her mind for someone she knew who could be related to the current abnormal weather.

Then, a look of surprise crossed her face.

…… Because the answers she retrieved were a little unbelievable even to herself.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"It's done!"

Cirno raised her arms and let out a jubilant exclamation.

She looked at the masterpiece in front of her with admiration - it was a snowman she had built with her own hands.

A round snowball with branches instead of arms and a torso is a typical snowman. There's really not much to praise about it. If there is any difference from a normal humanoid snowdrift, it is that this snowman also has an ornament made of snow on his head that looks like a hat, and another peculiarity is the unusual size.

Snowmen with a height of more than two meters...... It's really rare.

"That's a big ......."

Looking at the snowman who was also standing in front of her, taller than her, the woman could only give this feeling.

She is a woman with snow-white hair and pale pupils, and her appearance can only be described as beautiful. But for some reason, it feels like an illusion that will disappear at any time.

However, this woman, who should have been as impersonal as a dream, is now showing a tangled expression in an extremely human way. I have to say that Kiruno's snowman can be said to be a great achievement.

"Because it's modeled after Letty, it's not that big, of course!"

The woman was much taller than Kiruno, but judging by the typical childlike physique of the Ice Elf, the woman's figure was mediocre - of course, because she was wearing clothes that looked quite warm, so it was impossible to see at a glance what her body curved really was. But in any case, it is too rude to describe this beautiful lady as "big".

The Ice Fairy responded to the woman's exclamation in a cheerful tone, completely unaware of what a serious mistake she had made. This rash move would have made her ......

"Ahh

With a not-so-tragic wail, Kiruno's whole body sank headlong into the snow.

Needless to say, she certainly didn't fall on her own. The woman who suddenly took out a white fan who specializes in beating stupid characters in cross talk from out of nowhere is the real reason for this situation.

Smiling and slamming the head of the simple ice elf straight into the snow, there is no one other than Letty Hovatlock.

The snow youkai, which only appears in winter, turned her gaze away from Kiruno, who was pouting and burying her upper body in the snow, and turned to the snowy sky.

That distant gaze can only be described as illusory, but her emotional tone seems to be full of joy.

"Ahh......h It can still snow so heavily at this time...... This kind of cold weather, and this pure silver world, this kind of weather is better to last."

However, in the next moment, her voice took on a slight sentimentality.

"However, the snow will melt soon, and the season will be ...... Ah, it's really confusing."

"Oh! Letty is amazing! One blow and I was buried all over!"

However, this grief did not last long, and the muffled exclamation coming from the ground made Letty look helpless.

…… Sure enough, this kid's head is not very bright.

The Ice Spirit of the Lake of Fog is not very bright, and this is already a well-known theorem. But if you want to talk about happiness or not, there must be no one who can compare to Qiluno. The so-called contented people are always happy, and it is not just a meaningless nonsense.

Pulling her upper body out of the snow, Kirunor flew straight into the air.

"I don't know what's going on, but I'm feeling refreshed now!"

Petite blue shadows danced in the air, and even though her words were heartless, her invincible smile was enough to infect everyone.

However, there is something wrong with what Qi Luno said next.

"Now, even if I encounter that red-white or black-and-white, I can be ashamed!"

With a sense of complacency that came out of nowhere, Kiruno made a proud declaration.
