When Seiji woke up the next morning, he discovered that the snow was already a few inches deep.
"It snowed last night? No wonder it feels much colder today," Seiji said to himself as he looked out of his window.
This was the first snow of this year's winter. The weather was now a lot colder, and it was time to keep warm.
Of course, there was heating in their apartment, but that by itself was insufficient. When staying warm in winter was discussed, it was impossible to not mention the legendary divine artefact—a kotatsu!
Seiji went out together with Shika and Reo to purchase a kotatsu. After they purchased an appropriate one and brought it home with them, they placed it in the living room, and the three of them gathered around the kotatsu to enjoy its comfort and warmth.
Slouched against the sofa, they watched TV and ate the oranges that they purchased along the way at the supermarket.
