It's your winter vacation.

You were in your apartment hiding inside your heating table to keep yourself warm.

Then, you received a phone call from your aunt.

Sensing a deja vu, you hurriedly press the button and receive the call.

「I won a lucky draw and got a ticket for a Hot Spring trip!」

「Sorry again for the short notice, but can you come over and look after Hazuki again?」

The countryside I last visited in summer must have changed now that it's winter...

I wonder how she's been doing......

Your thoughts wander as you pull yourself out of the heating table and get yourself ready for a trip to the contryside.

Natsuhara Hazuki

Your cousin and childhood friend.

It's been a while since you met her last summer.

She may not look so approachable, but that's only because

she's still exploring your relationship with you and her.

She doesn't swim in winter, so her tanlines are gone, and her hair grew longer.

She's no longer reluctant in bodily contact, and couldn't forget the days with you back in summer.
