Such is not a world of ashen gray, but a world of silver snow. Greetings. It's Katsuragi Izumi. For today's photo shoot, I've come to Korinji Temple. This place has long been famous as a wishing temple. It seems that wishes such as those for romantic fortune, monetary fortune, or for healing from illness curry divine favor here. Since I'm here now, maybe I should wish for something too. Right now... I guess I'd have to wish for the Bloom Garden Party's success. I have to make any of my other wishes come true myself, after all.

That reminds me. This experience has truly allowed me to feel the traditional culture of Kanazawa. Look for yourself at the tailoring on this kimono. It certainly befits the ongoing 500-year tradition of Kaga Yuzen. Wearing this nearly makes me feel like a child once again, hmhm. When I was acting in theater, I wore kimonos fairly often. While it holds true for all forms of attire, kimono speaks for the person wearing it. Thus, one must keep a small gait, with their feet turned inward. Maintain a straight posture, and when turning around lead with their neck and eyes... Then again... I suppose there's no need for me to keep going on about it. Ginko always conducts herself that way, right? That's what makes her so pretty.

On that note, I was intending on spending winter break at the dorms instead of going home, since I had nothing in particular that needed to be to done there. But then, Ceras invited me to go to her home with her, since she was planning on spending the winter break there. I felt bad about suddenly dropping in, but after taking the shinkansen together with Kaho-senpai, I was invited to stay there. Naturally, I did exchange New Year's greetings with Ceras' parents. It's not as if this was the first time I'd met them, though. When we were at Mizukawa, I'd dropped her off and picked her up several times. The both of them are quite the interesting people. If I had to say, I'd say Ceras takes after her mother more, I guess? But Ceras didn't help with any of the household chores. She spent the whole time eating. She must have been quite spoiled by her parents as she grew up. Hmhm, it must have been quite the warm and loving home.

Izumi: Oh? Ceras, did you put on some weight over New Year's? Ceras:Y-You jerk!
