Chapter 336: Look Up at the Sky (2/2)

“Warm.”

“And your body, on the other hand, is cold. You alright?”

“Yes…I can regulate temperature, when things get tough.”

“You can regulate temperature?”

“Yes…like, this.”

Right after she said that, Taiyou felt warmth suddenly course through her shoulders. He initially felt like he was imagining things, but the heat eventually rose to the level of hot tea.

“Wow, you can do that too?”

“I sure…can.”

She proudly raised her head. She still had that same vacant expression on her face though, so it didn’t actually feel like she was bragging. But that was lovely in his eyes all the same. Taiyou put even more power into another embrace.

“And that was just your shoulder area?”

“Mhm…at least, right now.”

“How about you stop that real quick and turn this way?”

Shirokiyami did as he said. She turned her cold front area toward Taiyou, leaning into his arms. The two of them clung together, exchanging heat as they both began to gradually feel equally warm.

“Akiha.”

“Okay, fine.”

Akiha made a small fuss and sat down on the other side of Taiyou, nudging closer to him as well. Her body was even colder than Shirokiyami’s.

“Wow, you’re cold.”

“Am I?”

“Were you up here the whole time?”

“Well yeah, cause the wind feels nice.”

“Seriously? You really don’t have to climb up here in the wintertime.”

“But that’s exactly why I go up here.”

“Is that a valid reason?”

They snuggled together briefly. The northern winds were blowing against their bodies, but their shared body heat prevented them from feeling cold. In Taiyou’s case, he actually felt a bit on the hot side, since he was between both of them.

“Oh yeah, I might go to Juuni Island during winter break.”

Taiyou suddenly said as he remembered.

“Juuni Island? You mean where Youran lives? Why?”

“I felt like there was a lot I needed to help out with, you see. Plus I wanted to check it out and see if I want to consider living there in the future.”

“Where would you live once you’re over there?”

“I’ve been thinking about that. Kohaku-san is thinking of building something over there.”

“Build?”

“Yeah, a seven-story building up from the ground. And then we’d make a bunch of gimmicks to go along with it.”

“Since it’s seven stories, I imagine everyone gets their own room?”

“That’s the idea.”

“And then enemies come…defeating everyone as they, go up.”

“This ain’t no RPG dungeon, okay?”

“That sounds fantastic, I say. I’ll claim the fourth floor, then.”

“Why the fourth floor?”

“Why not…the fifth, floor?”

“Fourth floor is just fine. I like that number.”

“You do, now?”

They were for whatever reason discussing the future when suddenly, Taiyou looked up at the sky, thinking of Kohaku. The sky was a bright, vivid blue, but something unexpected was in it.

“Is that a helicopter?”

“Mhm…”

Shirokiyami followed his gaze, affirming. Her vision was more powerful than Taiyou’s, apparently. Akiha also looked up with a surprised face.

“You sure it isn’t heading over here?”
