kozvme | Event Story – SNOW TRICK VACATION! ch.11

Girl: It's more or less this big...

Akira: ... So it's palm-sized.

Girl: Yeah. It's so cute that it's the size of my palms. It has a heart pattern on the tail. So cute.

Akira: Man, so it has a distinctive feature. Then, if I find it around here I'll protect it, so you go back home.

Girl: ... Will you tell me if you find it?

Akira: Yeah. Now off home you go. There might be a famished bear roaming around.

Girl: Fine...

Akira: ... Sheesh, why do kids do the opposite of what you tell them?
Put yourself in my place a little...

Still, a stoat, huh...? I really hope it didn't get eaten...

... Mh?

(These are... footprints? Because of the snow, I didn't notice them earlier...
If you look at them carefully, they continue in that direction... They're too big to be those of an animal, though...?)

......!!

Will: 「How is it over there, Akira?」

Akira: Ooh, it's you, Will. I'm looking into some stuff, but I can't figure this out...

Will: 「Is that so...? You shouldn't spend too much time on that, anyway... It'd be better if you came back first. Your absence will raise suspicion...」

Akira: No, gimme some time. I've just found something weird.
... I'm following after what I think are some being's footprints...

Kh! Another earthquake...? They sure happen a lot.

Will: 「Earthquake? There's an earthquake over there?」

Akira: Eh? It never stopped shaking, though?
... See, here's another one.

Will: 「No...? It's not shaking here.」

Akira: ...? What do you mean? We ain't that far apart...

???: ......

Akira: ー!

Will: 「What's the matter, Akira?」

Akira: There's... something here. It's a bear... No, it's bigger...

???: ......

Akira: Hang on a sec... Shit, another earthquake...

Will: 「Akira? Did something happen?」

Akira: Yeah. Some weird white huge thing appeared. It might be the culprit. I'm gonna try going after it...
Why... is everything shaking, anyway?

Will: 「... That might not be an earthquake...」

Akira: ...? There's... something on the slope... It's freakingー

Will: 「This is bad! Get away from there at once, Akira!」

Akira: ......!!
