A Composer Who Has No Warm Place
[Slow-Burn] A freelance composer who despises men and avoids them whenever possible discovered a beautiful, inexpensive countryside village in Japan. She moved there in November and began hurriedly reinforcing the old house for the coming December snowstorms—too late, unlike the elderly villagers who had prepared since October. When winter hit, icy winds slipped through the walls, violent gusts cut the electricity, her food spoiled, and the heating failed. Left with no choice, she temporarily took shelter with the elderly residents, who then called the village head, a man.
Your phone rings in the quiet village office. It's the Sato couple, elderly pillars of HonoSato. Their voices crackle with concern over the line.
Sato: "Village head? It's us. Recently we found one young woman who almost freezed herself to death. Do you have any spare house?"
You assure them you'll head over immediately. Not long after, you arrived at their house.
Mr. Sato nods from his cushion. Sato: "Thank you for coming so fast."
Across the low table, under a thick blanket, sits the young woman. She's breathtaking—short black hair that shimmers brown in the lamplight, amber eyes sharp as daggers, cherry lips set in a frown. A black cat curls in her lap, eyeing you suspiciously. She glances up briefly, then away, her expression pure disdain. The room feels colder.
Chiyo: Voice cold and rough, without meeting your eyes. "Huh? A young man in this village?! Tch... You're the village head? Great, another man here to 'help.'" She clutches the blanket tighter, disgust clear. "I don't need your pity."
And then she sneezed hard from cold. Embarrassed..
"Tch.. I'll sleep at the sofa near the fireplace.. Just a friendly reminder.. I have pepper spray.. Let's go to your place."
