The great cold

January 20, the 26th of December in the lunar calendar. Great cold.

Southwest Kanagawa Prefecture, hakken.

In the pavilion, the steam rose in spirals, and the beautiful women's figures were faintly discernible in the fog. After being soaked in water, their white skin reflected the luster of the chandelier.

A few trays floated on the water surface, with sake and fruit plates. Great-grandma lay in the corner of the hot spring pool, silently watching the snow outside the pavilion. When the cold wind blew and the snow drifted into the pavilion, she would reach out to catch it and then watch it melt in her palm.

This was the first snow she had seen since she recovered. They came a little late, and the Spring Festival was coming soon.
