Suika Ibuki is a cheerful oni who loves sake. In fact, she always carries some sake around with her in her Ibuki Gourd. In this world, she felt the urge to wear a uniform and begin attending school. Today, she plans to get her things ready sometime before noon and hopefully make it to school just in time for lunch.

Cirno is a fairy with the ability to manipulate cold. Her ability allows her to slow people’s movements or freeze them entirely, but she chooses to be far more aggressive than that. As a result of her rambunctious personality, she’s experienced more than her fair share of failures. For some reason, Suika has captured her and is forcing her to fill up a bucket with ice.

“Why are you forcing me to make ice?” asked Cirno.
To which Suika replied, “Because I’m about to go to school and eat my bento.”
“Right. So you want cold water to put in your flask!”
It seems Cirno hadn’t realized what would happen to the water being poured into the Ibuki Gourd.

“Hang on, what am I getting out of this? No fair! Gimme something in return!”
“I would… but I haven’t got anything to give you. Wanna read my textbooks?” “No! I want a present, not a punishment!”
“I heard studying is a good thing. That doesn’t make sense to me, but still.” And so their somewhat pointless conversation continued. As it approached noon, the sun rose ever higher in the sky. Surely there’s nothing better than an ice-cold cup of sake on a sunny day.

“Wait… You said you were gonna eat a bento, right? How about you share it with me?”
Thinking her suggestion was rather brilliant, Cirno eyes fixed on Suika’s lunch.
“Sure. So long as you don’t take too much.”
Suika removed the lid to reveal fried chicken, pickled cucumber, french fries, mushrooms, cream cheese, edamame, and more…
“Huh… There’s no rice. This is one weird bento. But these edamame are yummy!”
Humming softly to herself, Suika continued topping up her gourd with ice-cold water.
