The hot spring suite where Shouka was staying, the large balcony beyond the sliding glass doors of the living room.
The little old man's "self-outside-the-body" carried Baka and stayed here to enjoy the snowy view of Lake Towada.
The Kanoya heiress was soaking in the hot spring. Naturally, the two of them wouldn't disturb her and chose to remain outside instead.
The balcony was piled with thick snow and cold air, but the two strange beings seemed completely at ease.
Baka was sitting facing Lake Towada, holding a large bowl of tonkotsu ramen in its scissor-like forehooves and eating heartily.
"Yo——"
The ramen broth was extraordinarily delicious, warming the whole body with each sip.
Beside Baka was a large bowl placed on the ground.
It was filled with hot water and... the little old man.
