Chapter 3: What Matters is Your Aptitude for Art, Part 1[edit | edit source]
Yuno: Sorry about that, Ruki-chan.
Ruki: I-it's fine. I was just a little shocked when Merry-chan suddenly pulled me along...
Ruki: I'm curious about the black snow too.
Yuno: ...It's a strange sight, isn't it? I've never seen or drawn black snow before.
Ruki: It's not something that happens in my manga either. Fantasy... Maybe Tsu-chan has drawn something like that.
Merry: It seems this area is already completely covered in black snow.
Ruki: ....?
Merry: What's wrong, Ruki?
Ruki: I thought I saw something sparkle around that tree just now... was it just my imagination?
Merry: Tch.... I don't think so. Who's over there! Show yourself!
???: ...to think we'd be found so soon!
Yuno: ...Snowmen?
Snowman: We won't lose to you, black snow!
Snowman 2: We won't let you turn us black, no we won't!
Ruki: Um, we're only here because we were curious about the black snow so... uh, what should we do...
Yuno: You should calm down too, Ruki-chan. It's alright, we're not your enemies.
Snowman: ...Really?
Snowman 2: You're not allies of the black snowmen?
Merry: Yep, really. Do we look like we're with them?
Snowman: ...No, you don't.
Ruki: Would you tell us what happened? About the black snow, and yourselves...
Snowman: I see, you're just people from the town, huh.
Snowman 2: And not allies of the black snowman, yep.
Snowman A・B: We're sorry.
Yuno: T-there's no need to apologize.
Ruki: So, what are you two doing here?
Snowman: We're here because... we were running from the black snow.
Snowman: We were preparing for Christmas in our village when suddenly, black snow started falling.
Snowman 2: Before we knew it, the entire village was covered in black snow...... and then the black snowmen attacked.
Snowman 2: Amongst them was a big boss-like snowman, and a little girl.
Snowman 2: That's why, when we first saw your group, we thought you were allies of the black snowmen...
Merry: I see. Black snow, Black snowmen, and a little girl too...
Merry: It's become quite the troublesome affair.
Merry: But even if you run, the black snow will keep falling. What was your plan?
Yuno: Maybe you should try shoveling the snow. We'll help, okay?
Ruki: But... at the rate it's falling, that's going to be difficult. Is there something else we could try...?
Snowman: Um... I've got a request for you guys. Can you guys draw?
Ruki: Y-yeah...
Yuno: Yep. Though I'm still learning, and there are lots of people who are better than me so...
Snowman: Then, you should know what these are.
Ruki: Uhh... painting tools, right? A brush and paint... So this is what was shining before, huh.
Snowman: As I thought! I'd like you to repaint the black snow with these tools.
Merry: Meaning... these thing can do something about the black snow?
Snowman: Yes. With these tools, you can repaint the black snow white.
Snowman: Especially when used by people like you - people who possess an aptitude for art!
Snowman: I beg of you! With your powers, save us from this black snow!
Yuno: O-okay. Ah, but if that's the case, we should leave it Hiro-san, who's better
Ruki: I'll do it.
Yuno: Ru-ruki-chan?
Ruki: It seems our abilities are required. We've got no choice but to answer the call, right!?
Ruki: Something... like that?
Yuno: Imagine the snow was white... and paint....
Yuno: W-woah! The snow really did become white...
Merry: Hey, is it me, or does the snow Ruki painted have a lewd shape?
Ruki: I-it's just you!
Ruki: But even if we turn the snow white, when the black snow falls we'll have to do it again.
Merry: Which means, we've got no choice but to find a way to stop the black snow from falling.
Merry: We've got to find them soon... the big boss-like black snowman, and the little girl.
Yuno: We also need to find someone else who can use the brush.
Yuno: It'll help the snowmen if we can turn more of the snow back, right?
Snowman 2: Thank you, Yuno. Is there anyone in town that will help?
Yuno: Yep. Hifumi and the rest are helping with party preparations, so they should be at the venue...
Ruki: W-what's wrong Yuno-san?
Yuno: Wh-what should we do... we left without explaining anything to the rest...
Yuno: They must still be waiting for us. Uh, let's go back and explain it to them before coming back...
Merry: You need to repaint the snow white Yuno, so it's better if you stay here. I'll let them kn....
Snowman 2: I'll go! So, I just need to call Hifumi and the rest here, and explain the situation, right?
Yuno: Y-yeah... that would be really helpful. But will you be alright?
Snowman 2: Leave it to me. You're already doing your best, so now it's our turn to shine.
Yuno: ...I wonder if he'll make it there alright?
Merry: If necessary, I'll go with him. It's what I was originally going to do after all.
Yuno: Were you?
Merry: If an aptitude for art is required, then I should leave it in the hands of people like you and Sana.
Merry: Ah, I'll help out in whatever way I can of course. Though, the only thing I can do is physical work.
Snowman: Thank you too, Merry.
Merry: Yeah yeah. Well, I'm not like Ruki but...
Merry: It does make me feel bad if I refused someone in need of help.
