I push the kid!

The bumpy snow looked as if it had been carefully filled up by a cement worker, and it was as full as a quilt filled with camel wool.

During the day, the two of them had a sandwich each for breakfast at the hotel.

When their mouths were dry, Hoshino Ai drank a bottle of strawberry-flavored milk with a straw, while Makimura Taku drank two cups of warm water.

After that, they went to the coffee shop they had been to before and had a cup of coffee and ordered desserts they had never had before.

The customers around were chatting quietly, someone ordered the specialty sake, and the glasses clinked together making a crisp sound.

The same seats, the daffodil leaves on the table are still green. It is indeed warmer inside the house than outside.

"Take a photo, take a photo!" As she said this, Hoshino Ai had already pointed her phone horizontally at the dessert.

"Wait." Makimura Taku wanted to move back a little to prevent himself from entering the camera, but he was too late.

"Crack!"

Two cups of coffee, desserts decorated with lemon slices, long daffodils, light that is neither bright nor dark, and the boy’s beautiful finger joints, all are captured in the picture.

After leaving the cafe, they bought a plate of octopus balls with sweet sauce from a nearby shop with white smoke coming out of it.

After eating, they went to the vending machine to buy two bottles of mineral water and stuffed the paper shells used to hold the dumplings into the trash can.

“…It’s so delicious.”

Before she could swallow the food in her mouth, Hoshino Ai puffed out her cheeks like a hamster and spoke incoherently.

"What are we going to do next?" Taku Makimura asked her while leaning against the vending machine.

"Hmm..." Hoshino Ai swallowed the small balls into her stomach, "Is there anything else you haven't done yet? I'm going to try it all today!"

"Of course no problem." Makimura Taku nodded with a smile.

Looking at the girl in front of him, he always felt that she had a natural affinity.

That wonderful feeling makes people want to get close to her and like her. You can also call it attraction.

As for where to go next, Hoshino Ai decided to think about it while walking, and Makimura Taku naturally had no objection.

They rounded the corner and stepped onto the snowy trail.

A breeze mixed with the fragrance of cedar leaves and soil whistled in from the left, making Hoshino Ai's cashmere scarf rustle.

The nearby bushes rustled constantly, and birds flew high from the eaves as if frightened.

The black house cat jumped down gracefully from the stone wall with its tail erect. It glanced in the direction of Makimura Taku and the others, then turned and left.

"The wind is blowing." said Taku Makimura.

Hoshino Ai held down the flying scarf with both hands, but could only let her hair dance in the wind.

I can't tell whether it's the scent of shampoo or the natural body fragrance.

In short, the smell is like autumn, and it quietly fades away with the passing wind.

When the wind died down, Hoshino Ai looked up at him and said in a voice cleaner than the air:

"The wind is blowing, let's go fly a kite!"

They didn't have lunch, and during their lunch break they went to an open space three or four hundred meters away from the hotel.

The snow there was not too thick, the sunlight was blown sideways by the permanent north wind, and the shadows of the trees extended straight into the snow.

From afar, several children around seven or eight years old were letting out the glass line on the winch, and their figures were running back and forth on the snow, as if trying to follow the direction of the wind.

There are butterflies, whales, dolphins and even Doraemon flying in the sky.

The two watched for a while, then went to a nearby store to rent a kite with a deep-sea fish pattern, found an open space and began to let out the long line.

The kite flying process went smoothly.

As the lead line was extended little by little, the deep-sea fish flew to the horizon and almost entangled with the misty clouds.

The azure blue sky seems to transform into the surface of Tokyo Bay.

As Hoshino Ai ran happily below, the deep-sea fish kite swam forward.

Tired of running, she gave the kite to Taku Makimura, who continued to roam in the blue sky with the big fish.

Both of them were tired, so they went to a small hill, tied the kite string to the foot of an oak tree that blocked out the sun, and then sat down together with their backs against the trunk.

The wind blew through the snow and bent the grass.

All I could hear was the sound of the wind, and occasionally the barking of dogs came from nowhere, and the sound seemed to come from another world.

"I can never have enough fun." Under the oak tree, Hoshino Ai hugged her knees and looked at a wisp of floating clouds.

Makimura Taku lowered his head and brushed away the snow under his feet: "There are so many things to do. If I want to do each one of them, time will suddenly become tight."

"Well..." After a moment's silence, Hoshino Ai suddenly said, "But I want them all!"

Makimura Taku looked at her and smiled, "Are you too greedy?"

"Yes, the one and only greed!"

She also turned to Taku Makimura and made a hook gesture at her chin with her hand, revealing a cute face full of confidence.

When looking at the blue sky and white clouds again, Hoshino Ai's eyes followed the kite's erratic figure.

She said: "Something that others have done, some that others haven't done. No matter which one it is, I want to do it again."

"It does look like you."

Hoshino Ai took a breath, her smile as unique as the snow scene: "I, Hoshino Ai, am so greedy!"

The wind was getting stronger and the dogs' barking seemed to be closer.

Looking at Hoshino Ai's slightly cunning yet quite cute profile, Makimura Taku seemed to be thinking about something.

Others might not be sure, but he alone knew completely that this was not a lie.

Leaving from under the oak tree, they collected all the rented winches, kites, and glass lines and returned them to the store.

In the afternoon, they went to a special ski resort to ski and tasted the famous fried tempura.

Before dusk, the two of them went to the nearby shrine for a stroll.

There weren't too many tourists there, and the air was actually much fresher than outside.

After praying, they bought traffic safety amulets, health amulets, career amulets and love amulets, spending less than 2,000 yen in total.

"Don't buy amulets as gifts for others, and don't open the amulet sachets without permission, otherwise your wishes will not come true." The staff at the shrine told them.

The two of them nodded with a hint of curiosity, almost in sync.

Walking out of the shrine, a crow flew to the red pillar at the exit and looked at the ground with its black pupils. Three butterflies fluttered around the purple flowers on both sides of the road.

They kept walking, and the stairs leading to the shrine were gradually left behind.

At dusk, the sky was dyed by the setting sun, and it looked like some special orange juice had been spilled, and even the snow turned shiny yellow.

"Fly a kite, ski, visit the Torii Gate, eat the tempura you've always dreamed of..." On the way back to the hotel, Hoshino Ai counted on her fingers, "I didn't miss anything, I've done all of these!"

"That's what I said," Makimura Taku corrected her, "but it's not entirely my fault. You like it very much, too."

“But I always feel like something is missing.”

"What's missing?"

She lowered her head and thought.

The setting sun slipped away while she was thinking, and the faint white color covered the earth again.

They passed by the village they had visited last time, but saw no footprints.

Streetlights flickered on on both sides of the snow-covered sidewalk, and the broken one was probably quite a distance away.

"I know!" When one or two stars appeared, Hoshino Ai suddenly pounded her palms and said to him, "Let's have a snowball fight! Makimura-kun, we haven't had a snowball fight yet!"

"Snowball fight?"

"Yes, in a place covered with snow, how can we not have a snowball fight?"

“That makes sense.”

"The snow here is so thick, you definitely have to experience it once!"

"But it's so late now, and we have to..."

"Ouch!"

As he was halfway through his words, a soft little snowball suddenly hit Makimura Taku's coat.

"We'll talk about what happens next later!"

At some point, Hoshino Ai had run four meters away, kneading another snowball in her hand.

Makimura Taku looked at her. She had a smile on her face that could be clearly seen even in the middle of the night.

She declared again:

"Those that have been done, those that have not been done. Those that were, are, and will be. I, Hoshino Ai, want them all!"

The snowball was thrown again, and with a snap, it woke up the moonlight.

Under the soft silvery moonlight, Hoshino Ai's body seemed to be shrouded in a faint, halo.

There was no wind that night, and the barking of dogs sounded like the howling of wolves. The snow did not fall for a minute.

The two of them started a snowball fight, bathing in the bright moonlight without any worries and extremely greedily.

Until the last snowball fell, the night was dark and the mountains seemed trapped in a frozen starry sky.

They returned to the hotel contentedly and changed their shoes.

Hoshino Ai took a towel to the women's hot spring, while Makimura Taku continued to exercise as usual.

When Takuya Makimura came back from the hot spring, Hoshino Ai was already reading The Great Gatsby.

"Is there anything else you want to do?" Sitting on the tatami, Makimura Taku asked her with a smile.

"What?" Hoshino Ai raised her head.

"Is there anything else you want to do?" Makimura Taku joked, "If you can think of anything else, it might still be in time before we fall asleep."

"Hmm..." Hoshino Ai thought for a moment and said mischievously, "Catch fish by breaking ice?"

"I'm afraid that's not very reasonable."
