Survive the mana season, please! part 3

Town of Ironwoods, right after Ayumi noticed the early arrival of the mana season.

"Sophie!" Ayumi yelled to the top of her lungs, it was so powerful it resounded in the entire manor.

"Yes, master Ayumi?" Sophie replied with a stern voice as soon as she peeked through the door of the laboratory. She wasn't allowed to get inside, not because of her status, but because she wasn't wearing a lab coat.

"There's the lights in the sky! Is it that time of the year already?" Ayumi knitted her brows.

"That's impossible, the freeze happens the same day of the year every year, no exceptions." She adjusted her glasses, keeping one hand bellow her bosom pressing it up slightly.

"Then why don't you look at them yourself?" Ayumi faked a cough when she noticed Sophie's intention to get inside without wearing a coat, forcing her to retrace her steps, put on the cotton lab coat and then step back in the lab.
