Haru had said before that on this date, he made a copy of himself, and when he went on a date with Nico, he also went on a date with everyone.
"Haru! Haru! Come here! Look! There's a lot of cows!" Maki smiled happily as she pointed at the group of cows that played around in the snow.
"Don't get near them! They might take a shit there, and you might step into the shit because you can't see it because of the snow," Haru said with a smile.
"......" Maki.
"Why didn't you say it to me sooner!" Maki was furious and quickly ran back to Haru.
Haru only laughed and caught Maki, who frantically complained to him.
Haru and Maki went to Iwate and went to the famous Koiwai Farm.
As for why they decided to come to this place, it was because they wanted to see the stars since they had heard that it was a famous spot for stargazing.
Still, summer might be the best time for someone to visit Koiwai Farm, but visiting this place during winter wasn't bad either.
During the winter, the farm management created a festival where they built a lot of snow sculptures of various shapes.
"Still, I never expected that this place would be so lively," Maki said since she didn't expect that there would be a lot of people in this countryside.
"It's a festival, after all." Haru held Maki's waist and asked, "How about we eat something warm?"
"Ugh... if you only you don't mention the cow which is..." Maki's expression turned extremely bad when she thought that the cows might take a shit among the snow.
"Sorry, sorry, I'll apologize to you tonight," Haru said apologetically.
"Oh? How are you going to apologize to me? Will you let me do it on the top?" Maki suddenly asked. She had always been on the bottom when they had sex, and she had always wanted to try to do it on top of him.
"..."
Haru's expression was a bit weird, but he reluctantly nodded. "Okay, even though I don't want to, I don't really mind since it is you."
Maki nodded with a smile, then asked, "So what should we eat?"
"...."
Haru looked at Maki and wondered whether this girl had forgotten that she was disgusted by the cow's shit before, but he didn't say anything since he was afraid that this girl might sulk again.
"How about we drink some amazake?"
They might still be minor, and they couldn't drink alcohol, but amazake was different since it was allowed.
Haru wasn't sure why it was allowed since practically amazake was practically alcohol even though it had a low percentage of alcohol, but since it was allowed, he didn't think too much.
"Okay." Maki nodded, then cutely asked, "Is it okay to drink alcohol?"
Haru felt that Maki's question was a bit weird. However, there were a lot of weird rules in this country.
The woman was allowed to get married at 16, but they were only allowed to drink when they were 20.
Haru wasn't sure how to explain this, but he didn't think too much and said, "There should be one that is free of alcohol. Let's get that."
"Okay." Maki nodded and followed Haru curiously.
They tried amazake and a Gekhiskan BBQ.
"Why is it called a Gekhiskan BBQ? Isn't it a normal BBQ?" Maki asked as she ate the grilled meat.
"Is it because the grilling has the shape of a helmet of a warrior or something? I'm not sure." Haru shook his head as he grilled the meat, then he asked, "Still, is it good?"
"It's delicious!"
Usually, Maki would act so cold when she was in front of everyone, but when they were together, she acted like a baby and loved being pampered.
But tonight, Maki wanted to be wild and did it on top of him later.
They went to eat and played around on the farm until late.
There was a reason why they didn't come back to the hotel at night. There was an illumination show.
As the night fell, the snow sculpture brightened because of the light, showing the beautiful scenery that they wouldn't be able to see in Tokyo.
"It's beautiful..." Maki said as she let herself be hugged by Haru.
Unlike Tokyo, which was filled with a lot of buildings and a lot of people, even if this farm had a lot of people because of the festival, compared to Tokyo, the number was still small.
It might also be because they were in the countryside that the temperature at night was colder, so Maki pulled Haru's hands to hug her body. She rubbed her head on his chest, and it was so comfortable since his body temperature was so warm.
"Don't move so much."
"Huh? Why?" Maki was confused.
"Something might stand up."
"........"
"Pervert!" Maki retorted as she blushed, but then she said in a low voice, "Be patient."
"Okay."
Haru's heart was so calm when she heard those words.
"I love the countryside," Maki said.
"Is it because of the stars?" Haru asked.
"Yeah." Maki nodded and said, "When we get old, let's stay in the countryside together, alright?"
"We're still young. Let's talk about this matter again when we get older," Haru said.
"Um!" Maki smiled sweetly when she heard his words since she knew that he planned to be with her until their last moment.
"Haru."
"Hmm?"
"I love you."
Haru smiled and kissed Maki's cheek. "I love you too, Maki."
Maki rubbed her face on Haru's chest as she smiled sweetly before she stared at the stars again.
Holding each other's hands, they planned to watch the stars until their last moment.
---
While Haru and Maki enjoyed the stars on Iwate, his other copies also went on a date with other members of Muse, and this time, it was Hanayo's turn.
Hanayo dressed beautifully, and her mother also helped her, giving her a good luck expression which made her so shy. Haru told her to wait at her house, but she was afraid that her parents might tease them, so they decided to make an appointment at the family restaurant. She waited for a while until she heard his voice.
"Hanayo!"
"Ha - Haru!"
Hanayo shyly answered as she looked at him and thought that she would go on a date with him!
Hanayo wondered where they should go, but suddenly...
*Growl!*
".........."
"I..."
Hanayo's face reddened, and she lowered her head since she was so embarrassed!
"Um... I'm hungry. How about we eat here?"
".........."
"Um."
Hanayo nodded and thought that she had messed up their date!
