After the snow sculpture contest, both Liohime and Shihon were now taking a quiet stroll around the town, and as they were heading back to their beach house, they entered a park as a shortcut, and many bystanders and passers-by were present with their Magical Beasts, playing in the layer of snow that had settled on the ground below.
"Hey, Master," Shihon whispered to him. "Let's play here for a bit...eh."
She had not realized it until now, but Liohime was not a fan of the cold, no matter how trivial its impact was on the atmosphere. Even now with only a little of the current snowfall, and a thick coat being worn, he was still shivering as if he were completely naked and exposed to the cold.
"Why are you acting as if you're feeling cold?"
"It's because I am cold, Shihon."
"Huh? Seriously? You're covered from head to toe, you know."
