On their way back to the Ryokan after the Lunar New Year’s celebration, they stopped by the onsen to warm up and wish Mr Fujiwara a Happy New Year too.
It was dark already and the water was glowing ö.ö
It was just like magic.
They just hoped Mr Fujiwara didn’t put some weird chemicals in the water to make it glow like it did ö.Ö’, but he reasured them it was just the combination of minerals in the water from the hot spring that was furnishing the basins.
Or was he one of them and enchanted the water?
They’d probably never know.
There was no way of asking him without giving themselves away.
Crazy what the combination winter+dark is capable of, huh? ö.Ö’
