“So what are you doing!”
I spit the snow out of my mouth and looked at her with an ice covered face.
“Ahahaha, such a dull face.”
This feels like deja vu. . .
Himiko(?) smiled with a tint of disdain.
She nearly blends into the snowy background.
A familiar woman with pigtails to one side, with a kimono covering her body.
It’s that person. . .They were with Kouko that one time.
She’s a little younger than us.
But was definitely one of the Yukinmusume at that time.
“Oh, You are. . .”
“It’s been a long time. Village animal.”
No matter how I look at it. She looks like a child.
“It’s Himiko.”
We immediately locked eyes.
However she had a fearless snicker on her face.
“I won’t let you mess with Kouko Onee-sama’s plans.”
Just as I thought, Kouko is involved. . .
“Besides, you also pulled my hair.”
“Eh? I did?”
I don’t remember much. It was a crazy night.
“Oh, I guess something like that happened?”
At most, all I remember was Yuki Onna A, B and C were doing bad things. I didn’t really know their names at the time.
Then a snapping sound was heard.
“Hmm, Well. I was just looking for this today.”
Himiko swayed a held bag in her hand.
“Wha”
My bag! How did she get it so fast!?
I was careless. . .
“Wait!”
She turned around and disappeared into the tree.
It took a long time to get those!
“Did you barely notice now? Even though you are a Yukinmusume, you are slow.”
She snickered at me as she ran away.
“Not like this.”
Of course I immediately chased after her.
“Ahahaha, Come and get me.”
They ran freely around the slopes and frosted covered trees.
F-Fast.
They are running like the wind.
As I thought. . .I can’t beat a Yukinmusume who grew up in the mountains. . .She is completely getting away.
“W-Wait!”
Despite the odds, I tried my best.
“You’re persistent. I’ll give you that.”
The other person ran through the tree like it was their own playground.
“Crap. . .”
I finally lost sight of her.
Under a mighty tree I looked all around for her.
Where is she? The winter trees are completely surrounding me.
“Damn it. Why are you running awa-”
I felt like something was tapping my head.
When suddenly a large amount of snow from a branch almost hit me.
“Owa what the hell.”
I barely avoided it.
I was almost crushed.
“Ahahaha, so close. What a shame.”
Then I heard Himiko’s laughter echo around me.
A figure emerged in front of the trees.
“What the. . .”
How did I not se-
“Obfu”
The next moment a snowball hit and splat on my face.
“Puf.”
For the second time today, I spat the snow out and wiped my face.
“Wah, what the hec-”
She threw more and more at me.
One of the balls hit a tree branch above me. Knocking the large but delicately balanced snow off, falling down towards me.
“What the heck. That’s dangerous.”
Crap. This is ridiculous. I glared at her as she began to run away again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here is another one. Don’t know how long I’ll keep up this pace, but it has been fun so far. Also Yukiya just can’t catch a break. Everywhere she goes, a Yuki Onna gut punches her.

tbh I was expecting more fluff from the start of this novel, also was it listed as shoujo ai/ yuri or am I remebering wrong?
LikeLike
No, it was never listed as a shoujo ai or yuri. There was a romance one. But we are like 70 chapters in, and the romance is light. This is my second non yuri novel. Or like not a main genre one. The other is quad sisters which is also not considered a yuri. But has some shoujo ai. There may be some of that in this novel, but I don’t think that will happen until the reveal.

Even though you are a Yukimusume, you are slow.
^-Shouldn’t it be “Yukinko” (although the n may have gone missing due to a typo, I haven’t checked)?

Yukinko actually wasn’t supposed to be there at all. It was supposed to just be Yukinmususme, and I also misspelled that so I fixed it. It’s fixed now, thank you.

雪ん娘 is “Yukinko”. 娘 can be read as both “musume” and “ko” (roughly same meanings, however), and in this case it’s “ko”.
One key to notice it without furigana is the ん; that sound is a weakened “no”, but since “musume” starts with “m”, if weakened they would have blurred together and become “yukimusume”, while with “ko” the “n” sound remains.
Also, while I said that both readings have roughly the same meaning, they would be taken a bit differently by Japanese speakers, with “yukimusume” being “daughter of the snow” and “yukinko” “snow (female) child” (i.e. “young yukionna”).

Huh, I didn’t know that 娘 could make a ko sound, nor the ん stuff. I thought it’d only be 子 for that. I wish I knew that before, but because it’s been used for so long and is deep in the story, I won’t change, it is similar enough. I will be make sure to put that in the next chapter and explain my mistake. Thank you for the info, now I know.
