~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\n
Of course I consulted my mother before coming here. Himiko’s power is overwhelming when compared to mine.\n
“What are the weaknesses to the Yuki Onna?”\n
“H-Huh, what are they?”\n
She thought with her arms crossed and head tilted.\n
“Weak to hot water.”\n
“So am I.”\n
The bath makes me completely powerless.\n
My constitution has steadily become more like a Yukimusume, and it’s for that reason I’ve only been taking cold baths.\n
If I take one early, my father would end up shrieking from going into ice cold water. \n
“Ahh, the mountain hot springs. . .let’s go together.”\n
“Maybe later, but please, anymore ideas?”\n
If I was still a guy, it would be okay. But as a Yuki Onna it is useless.\n
My mom thought again.\n
“Hmm. . .I’m not sure about weakness, but they are still in the middle of training, even though they out class you so much. They have yet to train the spirit.”\n
“What. . ?”\n
“Yukiya-chan may not understand because you grew up in the village, but from the point of view of the Yuki Onna, the people of the village are the most threatening. Or rather, the temptation of it. . .”\n
The Yuki Onna have to be worried about being deceived or tricked by humans. Because they are ignorant of them, they don’t have any defenses against the bad ones.\n
The pure part of them is what is weak about them.\n
So then. What will happen if I lean into that? They are totally ignorant of the modern world and humans. Even the legend of the Yuki Onna is about her being swayed by a human. So then, how do I use that.\n
I am still a human inside.\n
“Well, that’s how your mother met Syuu-chan.”\n
“Yes yes.”\n
I know about their story.\n
“Is there anything that is concrete? Like a common weakness with humans?”\n
That was the immediate question.\n
“If that is the case, there is food. They were often angry with me because I often came down to the village and received delicious things.”\n
Things she received were like candy and rice cakes. Stuff that children love and she often received when she came to play alongside them.\n
I’ve heard about that from that Obaa-san on the outskirts of the town.\n
“Recently, it seems that the delicious things in this world have only increased.”\n
Speaking of which, Kouko also really really likes ice cream.\n
So Yukimusumes have a general disposition of children.\n
“And if you give, there is a law about returning the favor.”\n
Return the favor, Hmm. And that is the law of the mountain.\n
Good good. This is great information.\n
“Hm but. . .Didn’t they attack that guy? How can they be trusted?”\n
Those guys attacked the college students.\n
“Hm? Oh that’s another story. . .You’re able to get power from food. . .”\n
She looked away as she finished that sentence.\n
Perhaps she doesn’t want to touch on that subject right now. It feels like a muddied subject. Is that the shadow of the Yuki Onna?\n
“Well if you train. You will not have to eat, because of the energy from the mountains. . .”\n
That’s serious. But also good for now.\n
Anyways, Himiko fell to temptation, and now she is under my control. \n
“Can you tell me where the wild plants are?”\n
I casually brought that up.\n
“. . .Ah.”\n
She looked at the ice cream, and then at me.\n
It seems that she has finally noticed what happened.\n
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\n
How clever. I guess this also explains, or may explain Kouko’s indenture to Tomonori. Or loyal I guess. Or it’s loved. \n
Also releases may be slowed down a bit now. But I have no schedule regardless, so just expect updates.\n
