2. A beautiful winter day

This year's heavy snow in Fuyuki City came relatively early. As soon as December entered, snowflakes began to float in the sky.

Countless pure white ice crystals fell from the sky and accumulated in the courtyard of Matou's house. Sakura looked at the heavy snow outside with joy on her face.

There is a heater in Matou's house, so it's okay for her to wear thin clothes, but if she wants to go to the courtyard, Sakura can only wear a bloated down jacket, she doesn't have the cold-resistant physique like Shinji and Mousse.

Sakura and Shinji are building a snowman in the courtyard. She pushes the snowball with a happy face, but unfortunately, the efficiency is very low because of her small body. Sakura is several times faster.

In the end, Matou Sakura simply gave up physical labor and started directing her brother to build a big snowman according to his own ideas.

Mousse stood aside with a basket with a thick lid, which contained the hot drinks she cooked by herself, as well as some miscellaneous things that could be used.

"And even bigger! Bigger! Go bigger!"

Under the cry of Matou Sakura, Matou Shinji pushed the snowball and rolled quickly on the road in the courtyard. Under the command of Sakura, even though the snowball was taller than him, he did not stop.

"Okay, the legs are done, let's make the body..."

Under the command of Matou Sakura, Shinji made full use of his physical fitness. The snowman's legs were a full 1.5 meters high, and in order to put his body on, Shinji jumped up directly, placing the slightly smaller body part. Press on it.

puff--!

When Shinji rolled the snowball, he only cared about the speed and didn't take a shot. The whole snowball was very loose, and when the body was sitting on the leg, the sudden weight directly crushed the ball below.

puff!

Countless snowflakes scattered, covering Shinji's whole body, making him covered with snowflakes, helplessly looking at the snowman with only one ball left.

Cha Cha-!

Sakura hurried over to help Shinji flick off the snowflakes from her body, and said a little embarrassedly, "Let's get a smaller one, not a bigger one."

"Bah, pah!"

Shinji spat out the snowflakes in his mouth, wiped his face, took off his blue windbreaker and threw it to Mousse, looked at the snowdrifts scattered in front of him and said, "It's okay! You step back."

He started rolling the snowball again, but this time it was different. He wore black fingerless gloves on his hands, and countless silk threads swayed on the ground to gather the snowflakes. In just one minute, the prototype of a snowman appeared. in the courtyard.

But...it was a little taller, almost four meters tall, and that didn't stop him, jumping and inserting various decorations into the snowman's body.

"Done! How's it going?"

Shinji clapped his palms, and the fingerless gloves turned into black mist and disappeared. At the same time, he took the windbreaker from Mousse's hand and put it on, turning his head to look at his masterpiece.

"Well...Shinji is the best!"

Sakura said happily, and then surrounded the huge snowman in the courtyard, happily spared two circles, exhaling bursts of heat.

call! !

At this time, the snow was getting bigger and bigger, and there were even gusts of cold wind, which kept pouring in the cold air from the gaps in the clothes. Xiao Ying couldn't support it, so she could only shrink at the door and use the indoor heating to resist the cold.

Sakura was the main player in the snow, she hid at the door, and Mousse and Shinji naturally didn't have the heart to play in the snow here, so they simply returned to the mansion together.

boom!

With the closing of the door, the cold and whistling outside are isolated from the outside, and the heated house is like paradise, making people not want to leave.

"Drink some hot tea to warm up."

Mousse took out the hot tea from the basket, opened the porcelain lid, and the hot air rose up. The temperature of the hot tea was just right, and it was extra warm to hold.

Sakura sipped the tea, while Matou Shinji looked at the heavy snow outside and said thoughtfully, "Well... based on my experience and the current situation, we shouldn't be able to go to school tomorrow. "

Sure enough, the next day was Monday, but there was still heavy snow in the sky, a thick layer of snow lay on the ground, and on the street outside Matou's house, some wreckers were working hard to clear the ground. of snow.

The school also informed the two of them that they could not go to school for the time being for the sake of safety.

Shinji and Sakura spent the day huddled in the warm mansion again. The original desire to play in the snow was exhausted yesterday, and the two of them had no intention of going out at all.

Wrapped in a blanket, enjoying the warm heating in the room, Sakura sat on the sofa, leaning on Shinji's shoulder, watching TV quietly, on the small table within reach, the snacks and drinks that Mousse prepared for her , such a day not to mention how comfortable it is.

Matou Shinji was looking at a letter sent from London yesterday. It was not Morrison's letter, but was sent by Matou Sakura and Matou Shinji's teacher, Weber Velvet.

The letter carefully inquired about the recent situation of the two of them, and at the same time, he explained to Matou Shinji about magic. The connection between them has not been interrupted in the past few years, even if Weber is now the monarch of the clock tower.

Although Weber did not say his current situation, Matou Shinji was very aware of his current situation. It can be said that he was being roasted on the fire. Now this time is the most difficult time for Weber.

He was just forced to become El-Melloi II. No matter in terms of strength or financial resources, he was completely incompetent for this title. He was struggling in the Clock Tower. It can be said that this was the pioneering period of his career in the Clock Tower.

Of course, he didn't mention his own situation in the envelope at all. All the information was pieced together by some pieces of intelligence collected by Matou Shinji himself, as well as gossip from Morrison.

The current El-Melloi family was expelled from the Ore Division, which had been controlled for generations, and became the monarch of the weakest modern Magic Division.

But... the good news is that Webber no longer borrows money from himself, which shows that he has initially established a firm foothold in the modern magic department, at least now the funds can be solved by themselves.

But... Shinji Matou calculated how much Webber owed him from the time he redeemed El-Melloi's classroom to now, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then roughly estimated the amount of money he owed others, maybe ...I am afraid that my teacher will spend the first half of his life repaying his debts.

Matou Shinji put the envelope aside, and waited for a reply before writing. For now, let's be honest and act as a backrest.

Sakura suddenly turned her head and glanced at Shinji, then moved her body slightly to make herself lean on him in a more comfortable position. As long as she stayed by Shinji's side, she would feel warm and reliable.
