"Egg-chan"?! Are you mocking me?! I am Ashiya Doman! I have a proper name!
Ten years ago. A winter morning. The season when breath turns white. Ashiya Doman, ten years old. Only a few months since he began his onmyodo training. Days of sweat on his brow and his master's scolding. He is already foul-mouthed, and his habit of knitting his brows started around this time.
Tch... it's freezing. Why is that old man working me like a dog since first thing in the morning?
The sky has been clear and cloudless since dawn. The sky is a deep, clear blue, and the sunlight shines white on the roof tiles—yet, flutter, flutter, snow crystals dance in the air. A sun-shower in the snow. Snow falling despite the clear weather. Snow like white flower petals was scattering.
...Huh? What's this? Snow?
—Then, a light voice like a rolling bell was heard. A girl about the same age wearing a tanuki mask. Catching the snow in her palms, spinning around, her steps were light as if dancing with the snow. Despite the mask, she looked strangely adorable.
