Chapter 17

nThe real winter came.
nThe snow has not piled up yet but the considerably cold wind is blowing.
nZabuton shut itself on the tree and rarely shows up. The kuros stayed in their dog house and just waited near the fire the I lit for them.
nWe’re prepared so there is no particular problem.
nBut if I need to say something, going to the toilet is troublesome.
nBecause the toilet is in a different place from my residence, I have to leave several times a day.
nIt is pretty cold outside.
nI shut myself to my residence for thirty days and snow started to pile up.
nThough I’m still fine now, if the snow accumulates more, I need to remove it.
nAfter 10 more days.
nEven if it snows hard, it will only pile up for about 1 to 2 centimeters.
nAfter that, it melts quickly then disappears.
nI was relieved a little.
nFor the time being, I’ll try making stone mill. I am unsure if I can actually create it.
nI should not panic. Let’s do things little by little.
n30 more days.
nThe chilly wind has stopped blowing and I think the weather is already becoming spring-like.
nTwo days later.
nI was surprised by the blizzard.
nSnow has piled considerably too.
nThe spring has yet to come.
nTen days later.
nMy body was able to sense the rise in temperature.
nAlthough there is still undissolved snow in the shade, I think spring is close.
nFive days later.
nYeah, it got warmer and warmer, and the kuros came out to go to the forest.
nUnfortunately, they were not able to catch any prey so it can be said that spring has yet to come.
nThree days later.
nZabuton, who didn’t show up, showed up for the first time in a long time.
nIt has been so long so I tried to approach it but I was surprised.
nThere were a number of fist-size spiders surrounding Zabuton.
n…Eh, to, are they her children?
nShe was female?
nThen, where is the male?
nI don’t really get it but the spiderlings love potatoes like Zabuton.
nThe number of my cohabitants increased.
n….yup.
nSpring has come.
