Kimama ni Tokyo Survive
[External Edition] New Year's Eve with a Rain Dragon
Feeling some sign, blurry, I open my eyes.
There was someone in the dark room, and I was about to get up with my hand next to me.
Looking at the long black hair dripping, it seems that I woke up as soon as the rain dragon woke up the sleigh and body.
Along with the sandalwood scent, the eyes of the rain dragon turned towards us.
"Ah, did you wake him up?
"Yeah, I wonder when you were asleep. What time is it?
I wonder, it looks a little bit adult because it's dark.
It can be seen that the rain dragon also remains in plain clothes, and the cloth is in good condition, and there are also sleeping dragons.
Though I was wrapped in a kotatsu from my shoulder, it seems to have happened because of the cold air coming in from the gap.
Oh, you did your best before you went into bed.
That's right. I remember feeling good about drinking alcohol and saying "I love kotatsu".
What a self-corrupting awakening, but the rain dragon also grabbed his smartphone with his slender eyes.
Um, nine o'clock.
"Wow... I don't have enough sleep at all. Wow, it's cold. Could you close it for a second? There you go. The rain dragon just opened up."
I'm here. Someone made a fool out of Kotatsu's end. I can't forgive behavior that goes against such manners. I close it when I open it. I'll beat you back if you get hit. That's how we all grow up to be good adults. Remember that.
Even though I asked you to do so, the rain dragon walked by the window with its bare feet, and opened the window to see what had gone crazy.
"... no, what are you doing?
What are you really doing?
I couldn't understand the situation where the warm air would soon disappear. I suddenly said that.
What if it's warm air and you give it to Earth? Do they like to be cold?
I thought it was me, but the rain dragon takes even more unexpected action. When I thought I was back, I tried to grab my sides and drag them out. Strengthen yourself.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! What the hell are you doing? You wanted to kill me so badly?
"Senpai, please don't go mad."
Whoa, this guy is serious. I can't believe it. You're going to throw me into the cold, so warm and happy.
No, I'm not an idiot, so I won't be dragged out like that.
However, the face of the upside-down rain dragon was nearby, and I was a little worried if I rubbed it unusual. If it was a man, I'd have just stabbed him in the head.
"Hmm, what's wrong?
Dragged out of the kotatsu, I turn my gaze a little towards my fingertips. Then there was a completely different sight.
A pure white thing that gently builds up without a sound.
I think the view outside is much less colourful and much quieter than usual. Her exhaled breath dyed pure white, and she heard a beautiful sound of "snow" right next to her cheeks.
I snapped it closed. Immediately.
"Ah."
"Ah, it's not. It's cold. Wow, it's unusual for it to come down at this time of year. Is that why you were so cold last night?"
I say to the snorting rain dragon, "Sora, look."
"It's nice to hang out, but just put some cold gear in place. I'll lend you some gloves if you don't mind. Do you need gloves if you're going out? And then I'll buy something like a New Year's Eve."
"... senpai, do you have luck? The Evil Spirit Retreat bill looks better."
"Mmm, shut up. I'll buy as much luck as I can. If you don't do anything on New Year's Day, you'll regret it later."
Maybe it's close to obsession. Bean maki and Megataki rolls are also thrown through, and you can participate in events about once a year.
"... don't you want to eat Etaka rolls?
"Nh, honestly, I ate it. Half price. Let's get dressed. If it's sold out, it won't catch my eye. If it's snowing, it's easy to fall, so put on the boots you bought before."
When you say that while releasing red solder, thick trousers, socks, etc., the rain dragon finally moves. And as I changed, I looked back at the window, and for a while I was blurry.
It feels strange to know that I like snow even though I don't have an expression.
After sneezing again, the dragon slowly began to change clothes.
Now, it's New Year's.
There are a lot of events all year round, but as I said earlier, we can't go through just New Year's. Even I can't ignore it because it's a Las Bosch presence in annual events.
Why would you want to do that when you're older?
We celebrated. Cut the monster in half and say, "Happy New Year! Ahhh!" I shouted. Well, it was just a way to celebrate a little screaming.
When I look at the shoes buried in the crowd, the amount of snow is about 3 cm.
"Oh, it looks like it's loading up. I'm sure it would be a mess on weekdays. Neat is at ease around here."
"That's right. If it were snow, I'd take a break too."
Holding umbrellas with each other and talking while walking down the road with few cars.
A small man wearing red soldering clothes and even long black hair tied to the left and right, so it looks like a country kid. My nose is also red.
"Rest... the train will be running like this. You don't have to rest all day, do you?
"? Snow days are rest."
I told you it was flat, but is that what it is? No, right? If it's a snow-closed region, I can still tell... it's a little different from my common sense, this one.
There is not much wind, so we watch each other look different than usual.
The snow-covered neighborhood feels different. The color and sound gradually disappear, and I feel like I'm kind of alone.
When I was enjoying those emotions, a short scream echoed behind me. Looking back, there was a rain dragon with both hands on the ground, rushing to help and wake him up, while scattering snow on his buttocks.
"If you don't look around, you'll fall again. For now, let's go to the shop."
"Right, I will. Trouble is that slippery places are hidden in the snow."
I was grabbed by the gloves.
My hands are smaller than mine, and when I'm about to fall, I hold it even harder. Normally... when I cut a swordsman (Samurai), I realize it's a dangerous step.
But the struggle ended with the arrival at the local supermarket. Passing by the clerk who is snowing, folding the umbrella and snowing at each other. At last, they were separated from each other.
Well, it's a busy supermarket in New Year's Mode.
Mirror mochi and front door decorations are still lined up, and it's refreshing because there are great "half price" stickers all over the place to stop selling out.
"Choose what you want to eat. What do rainbows like?
It's Idaki.
The guy who wears a solder coat on the sweater told me so clearly and succinctly.
Shitty. Shitty, Rainbow. I brought Japanese confectionery before, and I've loved the bitter ones since I was a kid. I see you're more of a pie guy than a cake.
"I'm meat, after all. I don't really like New Year's food because it's a lot plain. Whoa, here it is. Unsold beef. I think I'll make a mini steak. Ah, soba is good if you have duck. This is delicious with fat on it."
I noticed that I was being betrayed by a rain dragon. I stared at him for a few seconds with no expression.
"What's wrong with you? You look weird."
"Senpai, you said you were buying New Year's Eve, right?
"I told you, this one looks better.
"I'm in trouble because it looks delicious. No, I will buy Idaki. That's what I've decided since before I got here."
Goodbye. I was able to buy the lucky goods. "
I don't know what kind of role Idaki has.
Once again, she stared at the expressionless rain dragon. I wonder what this air is. I can't communicate like a human being.
The long stretched hand of the dragon grabbed the beef and put it in the shopping basket. Well, if it's impossible to express it with an expression, you can show it with action.
"Then I'll bake it with you. What kind of flavor do you like?
"Maybe it's better for you to decide than I am."
"Oops, then let's do it properly. I wish I had time or Cresson. I wonder if you want some mochi, too. It won't be half as much as it can be saved."
Hyu, I can't wait. The half-price sale is the day after the event. The more I buy, the better the price, but I have to be careful not to waste any ingredients.
"Do you like rice cakes?
"I like it."
"Ah, bean cakes. This is so fragrant and delicious."
In this way, you put what you like in the basket, and then you take something sweet like chocolate... and choose the gluten (f) confectionery that the rain dragon was staring at. Hmm, it's good to have it, but I really don't like it.
"Ma, iiiit. This is how we prepare for the New Year."
I didn't mind the silent thrust of "New Year's Day" when I was stared at. Humans have always lived with what they want.
I got a lot of half-price sales going through the cash register, and I broke it with the rain dragon, so I got another half-price dong! Hmm, it's a good deal early in the year. I can't stand it.
Ah, what about Hatsumi?
When I thought of it, I looked out at the snow and made a clean decision to "pass". There's no one here to look back on in this weather. If you have time, I'll pay for the snow on Ojizo-san's head.
I hold a shopping bag in my right hand and a rain dragon in my left hand, and I put an umbrella with my dad.
Then we often look at the snowy "falling" sidewalk together.
Hmm, the rain dragon snapped and closed the umbrella that had just opened. Well, you decided to stick to my arm to prevent a fall. It's not a flaw.
Cramped by arms, he looks up at the sky as he walks technically.
This could be loaded.
"Very nice, dyed in pure white. I like snow."
I thought I'd already noticed, and I snapped, "Yes, it is."
She grunts as she walks next door when she's cold and easy to fall over and wonders what she likes about the snow.
"I like the sound to go away. Unlike lonely, I feel like I'm going to be alone."
"Is that the line you say while holding on to your arm?
She blinks with her big eyes and looks at her arms as she grasps them. I tilt my head slightly, but I don't know what I'm thinking.
Looking up again, she licked her lips as she put snow on her black hair.
"... I don't care if you're with me."
"Ah, I still don't get it, you. Let's get out of here and have some bean cakes on the kotatsu."
I also like bean cakes.
Easy to walk anywhere, the faceless junior keeps walking along the snow path. I thought maybe I was enjoying it when I was shopping, but I stepped on the snow with no footprints.
The rain dragon seemed to be smiling because of his mind.
I see. You like crushing white snow. Then I know exactly what it is.
Snow builds up.
As I was accumulating thick on my regular bike, the electricity turned on in my room. I went home to the Goto family.
Next to the frying pan that gives you hot air, I'll sprinkle the meat with oil and salt and pepper. I'm going to burn this soaked thing to the ground. Kukuku, it's all roasted.
The oil stained from cow fat gradually becomes a good fragrance. It's a mini size and I like medium, so it won't take a minute to bake.
Anyone who is noisy about his health can put butter in his eyebrows. This is the same as junk food, and tastiness has to take precedence over health.
If it flips over and burns nicely on the surface, take it out onto a large plate. We need to bake the duck before the heat settles down and make the duck soba quickly.
Let's make the soba noodles "sauce" because the steak is full. If you put plenty of spring onions in it, it will be fragrant and refreshing to eat. You still have the chili peppers?
Then slice the calming steak and lightly simmer the overflowing juice before serving with the chopped cresson.
Uhyu, simple and gorgeous look. This will make the embarrassing Rainbow roar too.
The only drawback is not to immerse yourself in the mood of the New Year at all.
"Thank you for waiting."
Place your face on the table with nothing on it. Then, the rain dragon with its hair tied to both sides opened its eyes and looked seriously.
"That's good. I was right to choose the same one as Senpai."
"Haha, then it was just Idaki."
Bring the freshly made duck soba vessel to the rainbow nodding. No, I noticed that there were more dishes for him... okay.
Snow builds up outside the window.
Bottled beer was placed as a matter of course.
I feel a little more luxurious than usual when I can't wait for other dishes and pour them into the glass while watching the dragon in a shaky state.
Then they grab each other's glasses and stare at each other's eyes beyond the golden cup.
Say hello again this year.
"Yes, thank you."
The chopsticks were stretched out after the chin and the glass were put together and the garlic laughed at each other.
It was only after I had opened about two bottles of beer that I realized I had never used the word "congratulations" before.
Nfu, maybe it was when the rain dragon looked incredible.
Maybe it was when I smiled at it.
