"That scarlet heart, why doesn't he want to talk to me for a second, he closes my call quickly, is he going to be okay?" Minami asked Honoka who was chuckling.
"You should know that Brother is as mature as I am, he doesn't want to be with us because he has other things out there, you know yourself 'is it the meaning of winter? A very decent season for couples to have fun in doing anything." Minami's face immediately flushed red as she recalled that this winter was filled with couples having fun, which meant that Haruka had not wanted to be bothered by anyone but her own boyfriend, Rokuro.
"Ahhh.... is going with Rokuro huh? You should have told me, lest they've been in a relationship as a courtship!?"
"That's how it is. Since we're already here let's do something fun, Minami. Just leave Brother alone because today is so special for him, when else will you spend the winter with a man you love?" Honoka grabbed Minami's hand to invite herself to the living room, Minami let out a long sigh of unexpectedness that a cold girl like Haruka who always treated herself badly in order to have a cool and handsome boyfriend like Rokuro.
Kou waits in the living room while seeing Megumi knitting a warm enough outfit, Kou also does it because he is curious to make his own clothes. Minami and Honoka look at Kou who is having a good time, it doesn't seem to hurt to spend the winter time together with friends, Honoka looked out the window and saw Shuan with Shira fighting by releasing the same light magic.
"It looks like your sister is more interested in continuing to train huh... Shiratori Shuan yes, perhaps she was more prominent in the continuous Shira, the light magic I saw with these two eyes showed Shuan was worthy enough to replace her."
"You're right too, the better that he can easily learn from any mistake, he's not as stubborn as I am or anything like that... He stood out to keep Papa right while I could only continue Mama, hopefully one day Shuan will be able to defeat me in terms of strength and magic because he takes a long time to continue learning and practicing." Minami smiled proudly to see Shuan who looked different now in fighting against Shira who had started to get serious.
"What light potential does he have? Shira is light in terms of everything while you are light in terms of stars or half of space together with nature is not it...? That means Shuan has a light that stands out with outer space or something?"
"I wanted to find out quickly anyway but actually Shuan was hiding his own light, he is also quite mysterious in hiding whatever is in him even when I force him is also unusual because he just wants people around him to know what he can do himself. The point is I've seen a little bit of light coming from outer space, maybe light from outer space is its potential."
Not long after, they all began to enjoy dinner together while watching a virtual screen that showed a variety of different events. This winter is filled with new events and celebrations that can be said to be interesting because Legend has never felt a long holiday and break except entering winter.
"Good night, residents of Yuusuatouri! Finally the winter has begun, it means that a big new celebration will come for days, do not miss and continue to enjoy your time together with this long enough vacation. Don't forget to not practice too, at least do some warm-ups so that your Legend's body does not become fragile!"
"If it's twelve o'clock that night, it means the new celebration begins, spend time with family and parents or something that can be considered as a parent's day every year where you can spend time with your parents by giving affection or gifts that are available... The most important thing is being with the family!" Honoka and Kou could only be quiet when they heard it, somehow the heart felt painful when they heard that the day of the old man had arrived so quickly and Korrina was still not home.
Minami looked at her two friends and she began to fall silent as well, in her heart there was a sense of wanting to help but accompanying them was enough to help. Just like Shira and Megumi when they found out that Korrina had not come home for five years, Shuan enjoyed his meal while staring at the screen, Minami started patting her back with her tail so she immediately looked at her face with an annoyed look.
"What...?"
"What if we spend some time lighting fireworks with Honoka and Kou...? Tomorrow we have fun with other friends, come on... come along? You have to be willing if you don't then I will continue to drag you by force.Your body needs rest so that your light magic can be calmer, if your light magic is messed up that means your body needs a long rest." Whispering Minami, he started to look at Shuan who was sighing deeply, there was no other choice while nodding.
They spend their dinner together, after which Minami along with the others come out of the house to have fun by lighting some fireworks, at least Honoka and Kou again feel happy when playing with Minami and Shuan in lighting fireworks, especially Minami can do entertainment with the light, Honoka did the same thing by using reality magic so that the light could look more beautiful than before.
Shuan felt ordinary to see him, for some reason his gaze continued to focus on Kou who was smiling while clapping his hands, something strange he could feel in his happy expression and could feel forced to feel happy. Both Shuan's pupils turned golden to try to use light magic so that he could read more thoroughly about his expression but he instantly averted his gaze when Kou looked at him curiously.
Kou smiled and approached Shuan, knowing what he was thinking so it was useless to hide it. In Shuan's heart he started to panic because Kou suddenly approached him, he just remembered Minami's saying that all his feelings and thoughts could be read easily by Kou like a book, Kou started touching Shuan's shoulder and then took out a virtual screen to notify himself.
"That's it..." Shuan still did not believe his words so he tried to take himself to a secret place he had discovered long ago, the place that he made as a secret exercise so as not to be scolded by Megumi and Shira. Perhaps taking himself to that secret place would make himself feel better, Shuan started grabbing Kou's right hand so he looked at her.
"You coming?"
Kou smiles and nods, Shuan secretly flees with Kou safely without being noticed by Honoka and Megumi who are playing reality and light magic as entertainment for herself and others. Shuan grasped Kou's hand to bring himself to his secret training ground not so far away, just spending a few minutes alone was enough to take them to a certain location.
"It is better if we enjoy this winter on the ocean side... Honoka and my brother seemed to be too noisy with the light entertainment, I didn't really like it. I just liked this kind of calmness, this relaxation for both my ears and my body by just looking at the waves..." Shuan looked ahead and saw some waves, the sound of the waves making himself feel a great calm so Kou felt it too by reading Shuan's feelings, Shuan said, unfortunately he could not hear and just see needed help from his eye lens.
Several other returning flames appeared with a beautiful-looking explosion to shine through the night, shuan's secret place that looks like a plateau with a sea filled with waves in front of him is very appropriate to see the fireworks explosion because they can also see the light from the city that releases all the fireworks that fire. Kou's eyes began to sparkle when he saw all the explosions, at least he felt calmer and happier now that Shuan was grateful to see them.
Kou's condition was already known because Minami had told him often even until he was sick of hearing it, if his own sister cannot calm him down then just let her try to make Kou happy by seeing all the fireworks together, alone without having any shame or anything related to the love within each of them, Kou took out a virtual screen and showed it to Shuan.
The writing on the screen was, [I want to see the fireworks in this place again every day, winter is really fun because the addition of fireworks, even the sound of the ocean waves have high relaxation for our respective bodies.]it was also even coupled with a funny picture so that Shuan smiled, he rarely smiled and this was the first time someone could make himself smile like that.
"Me too, winter has just begun, what if we keep staring at all those fireworks...?" Shuan and Kou asked nodding then blowing on his two palms which felt cold, the winter for his frail physique felt like winter with a very low temperature.
***
"Loh...? Where are Kou and Shuan...?" Minami looked around.
"Hahaha, it seems like they ran away tired of seeing the entertainment from you Minami, it's been five years that you've always provided us with the same entertainment."
"Hehhh... They go where ya-" Minami widens her eyes when she sees Honoka touching Minami's chin with her cool look.
"Minami, my little stray cat, isn't this winter really fast if we celebrate like a couple?" Minami immediately patted Honoka's hand with an expression that looked terrified.
"No! Nah! You're horrible...! Stay away from me! I'm still normal!" Minami fled with a terrified expression while Honoka chased after herself with a happy-looking face.
"Not to be afraid, my little cat..."
"No!!!"
