Chapter 0: Prologue

The wolf tribes of the northern continent have many words for snow.
Snow falling from the sky, snow piled thickly on the ground, snow swirling with the wind, soft and fluffy snowflakes…
Among them, today’s weather brought soft, fluffy snowflakes.
“Heehee…”
Crunch, crunch.
The northern lands are covered in white snow year-round, but on days like today, when fluffy snow falls, the ground is blanketed in especially soft, cushioned snow.
Stepping onto a pristine, untouched snowfield after a fresh snowfall, leaving the first footprints… it’s like the thrill of an astronaut setting foot on the moon for the first time. That’s why I’ve always loved snow.
Swish, swish.
That truth didn’t change, even after being reborn in an unfamiliar other world. Not even with a wolf tail as big as my body swishing behind me or perky wolf ears sprouting from my head.
Gender? That’s the least of it.
Step, step.
I tiptoed onto the pure white snowfield. Tiny footprints trailed behind me, marking my path.
And then, right beneath my right foot, something vibrated.
My ears perked up.
“Yip!!!”
I jumped high into the air and buried my face in the snow.
