Shizuku
*Sigh*
Mornings are getting so cold now...
2
Shizuku
Not only that, it snowed last night.
There may be some snow still left on the rooftop.
3
Shizuku
We're supposed to practice dancing today, but I'm not sure we'll be able to this morning... Hm?
4
Shizuku
Oh, it's the snow rabbit I made yesterday!
Hehe. You're still here!
5
Shizuku
Speaking of which, I often used to make snow rabbits when I was little.
6
Mafuyu
Snow rabbits?
7
Shizuku
Yes. Because Shii always really liked it whenever I did.
8
Shizuku
Oh, this might be just enough snow... All you have to do is round some up into a ball and...
9
Shizuku
For the eyes...we can use these bamboo berries, and some leaves for the ears. And there you are. A snow rabbit.
10
Mafuyu
Hehe. It's very cute...
11
Shizuku
I hope you'll stay with us for a little bit longer, Mr. Snow Rabbit.
After school
12
Minori
Thank goodness we were able to practice today!
13
Airi
Yeah, we really need to thank Miku and the others later for letting us use one of the stages in SEKAI.
14
Airi
But I wasn't expecting to see so much snow still left on the rooftop.
15
Shizuku
(I wonder if Mr. Snow Rabbit already melted away... It should be somewhere around...)
16
Shizuku
(Thank goodness! It's still... Huh?)
17
Shizuku
Oh wow...!
18
Minori
Huh? Shizuku?
19
Haruka
Did you find something?
20
Airi
Hey, snow rabbits!
Five of them too!
21
Minori
Yeah! They're so cute!
22
Haruka
The one in the middle's bigger than the others around it... Hehe. What if they're a family?
23
Minori
Yeah!
Who do you think made these?
24
Shizuku
Oh, I made the big one that the babies are surrounding.
25
Airi
Really? Then, who made the little ones?
26
Shizuku
Who? I'm not sure. Mine was the only one here when I checked this morning.
27
Airi
What if others discovered your rabbit and decided to make some friends for it?
28
Airi
You know what they say. Loneliness can be fatal for a rabbit.
29
Minori
Oh, that's apparently not actually true...
30
Airi
Wait, really?
31
Minori
Yeah. Rabbits do tend to share nests, but they apparently prefer to sleep and forage for food by themselves!
32
Haruka
Sounds like being on the Animal Caretaker Committee has turned you into an expert on rabbits.
33
Minori
Hehe. I'm still no expert...
34
Shizuku
Still, you may be right that somebody decided to make these baby rabbits so that mine wouldn't feel lonely.
35
Airi
Yeah.
36
Airi
Actually, the one on the left here seems kinda lonely...
37
Haruka
The left...? Oh, there is a little bit of space between it and the others.
38
Airi
I had a feeling...
I think I'll make a friend for it.
39
Minori
Oh, me too!
I wanna make one!
40
Minori
Shizuku, can you show us how you made yours look so cute?
41
Haruka
I'd like to learn as well.
42
Shizuku
Of course. First, you...
43
Minori
Carefully place it... Don't let it fall apart... Airi, how does mine look?
44
Airi
Perfect!
It nicely filled up that empty spot!
45
Haruka
Eight in total now. That's quite a big family.
46
Shizuku
Yes, and thank you all for helping make it such a lively scene.
47
Airi
You're welcome.
Hehe. I bet the people who made these baby rabbits won't expect to see how much this family's grown.
48
Shizuku
Hehe. I agree.
49
Shizuku
(I sure hope they like what we've done.)
