The Winged Horse must have had dampened spirits on the second day of the Matching. Obsidian clouds wrapped the whole sky, and the Winged Horse that galloped through it could be heard crying in the distance. The violent flap of its wings created a wind that blew raucously through the fields that littered the mortal realm.

“The weather seems dreadful today. It looks like it could rain at a moment’s notice.”

Mia looked up to the sky, holding her hair in place with one hand as it danced in the wind. Then, her unpleasant prediction proved true. Drops of rain fell from the dark clouds just as she left camp. Luckily, it appeared that the Winged Horse had yet to fall too far into a slump, as the raindrops were still quite small in size. It was just a drizzle for now, at least...

“So, it did start to rain. Dear moons...” Still quibbling, Mia pulled the hood of the fluffball suit over her head. Thanks to its double function as rain gear, Mia was impervious to rain! Well, at least to this much rain.

“Hmph, I was starting to get chilly. I’ll have to remember to thank Anne later.”

The parts of her skin that had been left exposed to wind felt chilled. It was as if autumn had suddenly passed them by, instead hailing in winter.

“That’s right, this was a year that was quite cold. I had completely forgotten,” she muttered as she looked ahead of her. The rain blurred the scenery, meaning a small lapse in care could leave her lost. “Let’s speed up a little, Dongfeng. We need to close the distance between us and Loklou a bit more.”

With a grunt, Dongfeng quickened his feet. Galloping through the dampened fields, Mia let out a small groan. “I hope Xiaolei avoids catching a cold...”

A strong gust of wind blew by as if to answer her. Then came a cute achoo! from Xiaolei.

Having found her in the rain, Mia called out to her. “Xiaolei, are you all right?”

Xiaolei kept her expression stiff. “I will not be playing friends with you, I do say. We are in the middle of the Matching.”

Saying that was all well and good, except...she immediately followed it up with a rub to her nose. Perhaps she had done so one too many times, as the tip of it was crimson.

“Yes, but...you seem quite cold.”

“Th-Th-This is nothing to an Equestri raised in the plains...I do say.”

Saying that was all well and good, except...her lips were tinted blue.

“I see. Still...”

Mia looked at the accompanying riders. New guards had taken over from Gongma and his crew during the night, and every single one met her gaze with a shake of their heads.

“We cannot lend you any aid. You have had those clothes with you since the beginning, princess. Providing rain gear now would be unjust.”

“Hm... Well, in that case, why don’t we find a place to hide from the rain and sit around the fire? Then, once the rain is gone, we’ll—”

“Ha! Ha ha! I-I-I will not be fooled by your words, I do say.
