*Sigh*
Mornings are getting so cold now...
Not only that, it snowed last night.
There may be some snow still left on the rooftop.
We're supposed to practice dancing today, but I'm not sure we'll be able to this morning... Hm?
Oh, it's the snow rabbit I made yesterday!
Hehe. You're still here!
Speaking of which, I often used to make snow rabbits when I was little.
Snow rabbits?
Yes. Because Shii always really liked it whenever I did.
Oh, this might be just enough snow... All you have to do is round some up into a ball and...
For the eyes...we can use these bamboo berries, and some leaves for the ears. And there you are. A snow rabbit.
Hehe. It's very cute...
I hope you'll stay with us for a little bit longer, Mr. Snow Rabbit.
Thank goodness we were able to practice today!
Yeah, we really need to thank Miku and the others later for letting us use one of the stages in SEKAI.
But I wasn't expecting to see so much snow still left on the rooftop.
(I wonder if Mr. Snow Rabbit already melted away... It should be somewhere around...)
(Thank goodness! It's still... Huh?)
Oh wow...!
Huh? Shizuku?
Did you find something?
Hey, snow rabbits!
Five of them too!
Yeah! They're so cute!
The one in the middle's bigger than the others around it... Hehe. What if they're a family?
Yeah!
Who do you think made these?
Oh, I made the big one that the babies are surrounding.
Really? Then, who made the little ones?
Who? I'm not sure. Mine was the only one here when I checked this morning.
What if others discovered your rabbit and decided to make some friends for it?
You know what they say. Loneliness can be fatal for a rabbit.
Oh, that's apparently not actually true...
Wait, really?
Yeah. Rabbits do tend to share nests, but they apparently prefer to sleep and forage for food by themselves!
Sounds like being on the Animal Caretaker Committee has turned you into an expert on rabbits.
Hehe. I'm still no expert...
Still, you may be right that somebody decided to make these baby rabbits so that mine wouldn't feel lonely.
Yeah.
Actually, the one on the left here seems kinda lonely...
The left...? Oh, there is a little bit of space between it and the others.
I had a feeling...
I think I'll make a friend for it.
Oh, me too!
I wanna make one!
Shizuku, can you show us how you made yours look so cute?
I'd like to learn as well.
Of course. First, you...
Carefully place it... Don't let it fall apart... Airi, how does mine look?
Perfect!
It nicely filled up that empty spot!
Eight in total now. That's quite a big family.
Yes, and thank you all for helping make it such a lively scene.
You're welcome.
Hehe. I bet the people who made these baby rabbits won't expect to see how much this family's grown.
Hehe. I agree.
(I sure hope they like what we've done.)
