The day after, a late spring cold snap.
A surge of cold air passed through Hokkaido on its journey southward. Although Hirarano had just welcomed spring, temperatures dropped sharply. Nonetheless, the chilly weather couldn't suppress Kiyomi Liuli's fiery heart. After lunch, she tidied up her appearance and, full of excitement, followed Nanahara Takeshi to the Hirarano police station to attend the commendation ceremony.
She was genuinely excited. As a student who had struggled academically, she had never been publicly recognized throughout her ten years of schooling. The opportunity to attend a commendation ceremony was a first in her life and held great commemorative value.
