Summer vacation has ended and the new term has started.
Nothing has really changed in my school life. I guess the only thing that changed is how the students are dressed, as they start to wear thicker clothing as Autumn approaches. As for me, I have never worn anything other than a kimono. Akitaka would bring me cute clothes that a sixteen year old girl might wear, but I never thought about actually wearing them.
Fortunately, this school doesn't have uniforms, so I can stay in my kimono. I actually wanted a long-sleeved kimono, but with one of those I'd have to waste entire PE classes just changing in and out of them. In the end, I made do with a Yukata-like single-piece kimono. I wondered what I should do about the cold during winter time, but I found a solution to that problem yesterday.
...It happened during the breaks in between classes. I was questioned when I was in my seat.
"Aren't you cold, Shiki?"
"I'm not cold right now, but I guess it should start to feel cold soon."
The person in front of me frowns, as if he's figured out I'm planning to be in my kimono during the winter too.
"You're gonna be wearing that thing even during winter?"
"Probably, but I'll be fine because I'll be wearing something over it,"
I said abruptly, trying to bring a halt to the conversation. He walks away, seemingly surprised at the thought of something being worn over a kimono, and I too was caught rather off-guard by this solution that I had spontaneously developed. In the end, I went out to buy a coat. I bought a leather blouse as it seemed to be the warmest. I'll wear it in the wintertime, but it will stay in my closet until then.
