"Xiao Ji, are you... going to hibernate too?" In the warm little house, Elarwen held the Scout Puki in her arms, confusedly poking its soft body.
These past few days, Xiao Ji had unusually stopped going out. At first, she secretly rejoiced, thinking the Puki wanted to spend more time with her.
But she quickly found something wrong; the Scout Puki just stayed dumbly atop her head, sitting for an entire day, and appeared sluggish, just like Douding when he was sleepy.
"Where does Puki usually stay during hibernation...?"
In the end, she cautiously carried the suspected "senile" Scout Puki into the inner room, gently placed it on a soft bed, and carefully tucked in the corners of the quilt. Once she settled her companion, she wandered back to the yard alone, staring at the gloomy sky in a daze.
"So idle, isn't there something exciting to do..."

Boom! Boom—!!!
Deafening explosions incessantly ravaged the interior and exterior of the Arctic Castle walls.
