"Hey, Peko. Are you feeling alright?" Hajime asked as he approached his classmate.
Peko frowned as she crossed her arms, "Truthfully, no."
"Oh," Hajime sat next to her on the bench, "Do you want to talk about it?"
She turned away, "If I told you, you'd only tease me."
"That's not true, you know I wouldn't make fun of you."
"You wouldn't?" Peko cautiously eyed him.
He nodded, "I promise you can count on me."
"Well, it's true that you're reliable," Peko mused before sighing, "Do you remember when we all went sledding down the mountains a few weeks ago?"
Hajime laughed, "I remember that and the huge snowball fight after."
"That was fun, wasn't it?" she gave him a small smile, "It's a shame we haven't been receiving any snow lately."
Hajime gaped at her, "You want it to be even colder?"
"I suppose that's partially true. But honestly, I want to finish building my snow army."
Hajime looked at the swordswoman excitedly, "You're making an army out of snowmen?"
"They may be snowmen but I have a perfectly good reason for making them!" the swordswoman quickly said, "My old swords are no longer useful so I've been equipping them onto the snowmen."
Hajime smiled at her, "You don't need a reason to want to play in the snow. How many have you made so far?"
"Nearly twenty as of last month. There wasn't enough snow to finish the last one."
"Woah, that must be hard work."
The swordswoman softly smiled, "I actually enjoy it. As long as you bundle up, there's plenty of fun to be had in the snow. It's even more rewarding when you return inside the kitchen to drink some tea."
"When you put it that way, I kind of want some snow too," Hajime admitted.
"I suppose this is a good time to give these to you," Peko handed him cookies wrapped in a plastic bag that were neatly held at the top by a yellow bow, "I don't typically eat sweets but Hiyoko was kind enough to help me bake sugar cookies."
"Speaking of sweets, I heard you protected Fuyuhiko's sweets for me," Hajime smiled at her, "Thanks."
"I was merely doing my duty," Peko looked away as her cheeks grew pink, "But you're welcome."
