House of Plums

So cold. Takumi thought as he opened his eyes. It turned out Seiha had put his hand on his cheek.

“Onii-chan, we’re at Grandpa’s house.”

“Looks like it.”

“You slept like a log. I tried waking you up a few times.”

“Let’s get off the car.”

There was a stone gate waiting for them right after they got out. As they stepped inside, a strong aromatic fragrance assaulted their noses.

Plums.

It was a giant plum tree so big one had to crane their neck to see it. The trunk and branches were very thick, and overlapping red flowers were in full bloom. The aroma it gave off was almost suffocating.

Takumi had seen that plum tree before.

Driving Over Orochi Ridge

While driving over Orochi Ridge, it was apparent that a blanket of snow covered the foothills. On the right was the snow-capped mountains, while the valley was to the left.“I can’t believe there’s still snow at the end of March.”

Takumi looked out the window from the passenger’s seat. The sheer whiteness from the snow was rather dazzling.

“Eeh, which side are you talking about?”

Seiha asked with a mumbling lisp. Earlier, he had been sleeping while using his mother’s lap as a pillow.

“Wow, it’s true! Daddy, stop! Stop the car!”
