At the Northern Fort

In my previous life, I lived somewhat in a warm region. Snow, once or twice during the winter months, falls from the sky indiscriminately and unreliably, melting and disappearing as soon as it reaches the ground. That's what I thought it was.

So when TV news and other footage of the snowy zone showed up, on the other hand, I found it hard, and envious. Especially when I was a kid. If there's so much snow, you can make all you want to make the shavings and slides, okay?

But I can tell you now. There has to be more snow than necessary. If the blizzard lasts for three days, you can't afford to dig a tease.

What is this ferocious wind? What snow falls like crazy.

Never even had a snowstorm like this last on a mountain.

On the first day, when I was banned from playing outside because of the terrible weather, I looked out the window relaxing in the room of the Shigeye Knight in my quarters. This one's a bit bad, for sure, but I think it's common in this part of the country as much as a snowstorm.

And like me, the knights of the eye and the other knights in the fort were still spare attitudes. Tomorrow morning you'll be piling up like an idiot, another snowfall, what a laugh.

On the second day, when I woke up in the morning, the snow, stirred by the strong wind, was sticking on my window, and I had no view of the outside from the room. It was dark as night in the room because the light wouldn't plug in, and I didn't realize it was morning for a moment. Besides, the sticky snow is frozen in the bees and the windows don't open.

When I went outside with the knight of the ship's eye to see how things were, the blizzard continued with the same momentum as yesterday. Snowpacking is also the best this winter. The sky is covered in thick clouds, dim if not as much in the room.

I was a little excited to see the high snow, but the knight with the eyes glanced.

And the wild wind and snow never weakened all day that day, and the knights chased even snow out of the blizzard, and I just start to think this weather is strange too.

There have been blizzards on the mountains for days, but there have been stops and momentum weakening times. But this snow from yesterday, with the strong wind roaring around, shows no sign of even stopping for a moment. It's like the sky is angry. I don't have time to breathe, they keep attacking me. What a violent weather.

During the snowstorm, the night came again and I thought for the first time I was afraid of snow. I wonder how much it will pile up again while I sleep. I closed my eyelids when the knight of the ship's eyes lay me down feeling anxious, but I didn't quite sleep with the rattling and wind shaking windows.

On the third day, the windows were still covered in snow. But that wasn't just sticking with the wind. There was so much snow that all the windows on the ground floor were buried. Just because it's a snowy area, the windows aren't that big if they were originally built to anticipate that, and although they support the glass with more angles than normal, I'm worried it won't break. It seems that some things are like rain doors properly, but as of yesterday, the windows had already stopped opening, so I couldn't seem to get them off.

And I haven't even stopped the blizzard outside.

There's a little noise in the fort in the morning, and the dining room is full of snow and bei. Most of the knights in the fort are from another region, and they've never seen such heavy snow before. We jokingly said to each other, "Wouldn't the fort be buried," etc., but this fort has the height there, so that would be just fine. I want to believe that...

The chef's uncle in the cafeteria seems to be a local, he said there are years when it snows more and more once every few years, but still it seems rare to pile up so far. Most importantly, we are all anxious that the blizzard will not stop for a moment.

Once a spirit of snow, I turned to the sky several times and said, 'Snow, stop!' And I tried to send a precaution, but nothing happened to me at all that I was embarrassed to be doing that. A blizzard that completely ignores me.

I accidentally doubted my existence. I'm a spirit, right? Hey?

In the morning, the knights were still being chased by snow removal. I'm going to pile it up again from by the side of securing the aisle, but I still have to keep doing it.

The knights were taking turns going into the building and taking a break because they had strength to leave the heavy snow. I leave messages all the time in the talking room watching them dry wet gloves and pants in the fireplace and warm their teasing hands and toes.

I'm sorry I couldn't even stop one snowstorm at the mercy of the Snow Spirit. With such sorrow, I walk around among the knights tired of snow removal operations to comfort them. Even if I say comfort, I'm just gonna make you feel fluffy fur.

By the way, the Ship-Eyed Knight and Mr. Branch Leader have been to a nearby town and are not in the fort. They're helping with snow removal and snowfall in private houses.

Sure, with all this snow, it doesn't look like there's going to be a single old private house or anything without snow down the roof. Even forts that are supposed to be built sturdy can occasionally hear the disturbing sound of missies.

But I wonder if you'll be all right in this blizzard. Even if you fall down by mistake, you won't get hurt badly because the snow is piling up like an idiot.

Waiting worried, around noon, the knights who were out of town also returned. I too will be hugged by Mr. Teena to pick everyone up to the front entrance and exit. His vision is poor because of the snow of the beatings, and from afar he doesn't know exactly who he is.

Ms. Teena wore her cold suit exactly, but the moment she pushed the heavy door out she shrugged her neck in the cold wind and hugged me tight. It's a snow spirit, so unlike holding a normal animal, I don't think it has a hockey effect...

"Welcome back! How was the town?

The severity of the snowstorm remains the same, so Ms. Tina spoke out loud to avoid her voice being quenched by the sound of the wind. The nearest knight answers that.

"As much as one old cabin crumbled, it didn't do as much damage as I thought. The inhabitants of the town are more accustomed to heavy snow than we are. I had enough food stockpiles and plenty of firewood to prepare. Looks like we're gonna be okay with the blizzard for a while."

She laughed jokingly and said, and Mr. Teena seemed horrified. The force in my arm is loose, so I jump to the ground in that gap.

I ran straight from the entrance and exit of the building to where the ship's eye knights were, where the snow was being removed… I was going to, but I would be pushed diagonally by the strong wind blowing from the side.

"Ah, Mill! It's a blizzard."

I look back at Tina screaming in the back and one barks that she's okay. When I came, the knight with the naked eye got off the horse, took off his gloves and stroked his head.

By the way, the horses the knights take are loaded with shovels and other snow removal tools, or they are connected to solids for carrying snow.... I'd like to get on that soli a little bit.

"Were you a good boy and you left a message?

I was! Of course!

I barked properly, spinning fast on the spot. In this blizzard, the tension gets a little weird when I see the ship eyed knights who were going to town safely back.

When I regained my composure a few seconds later, everyone around me was laughing at me.

Fine, fine, I can't even help with the snow. It's useless. I'll do whatever it takes to be a laugher and soothe the place.

But it's a really bad snowstorm. The wind does not slash and tear the air like a blade, but hits us with pressure like a mass of lead. It seems that people, buildings, trees, are trying to destroy everything on the ground equally.

And the snow had already piled up on my body less than five minutes after I went outside. I'm going to be swallowed by the snow just to sit still a little bit.

I shook my body in a panic and flew the snow sticking to my fur.

"You guys go in for a break and call in five and eight squads instead"

The chief of the branch, who cared about this side by side, tightened his expression before giving instructions to the other knights.

"Are you going anytime soon? The chief and deputy chief should also take a short break..."

"If you're too slow, the sun will be down by the time you get home. Just call me quick."

When Mr. Branch Leader ordered, the young knight said, "Yes!," he replied, rushing into the building.

Having returned because of this, is Mr. Branch Leader and the Shigeye Knight going somewhere again? I walked beneath the knight with a twinkle of my eyes. The blizzard is terrible, so let's take it easy in the fort today. I tried pulling a string of boots to invite him, but the knight with the naked eye just laughed and gently flaunted me.

And while I was doing that, the knights of the 5th and 8th squads wore a full array of cold gear and brought a horse loaded with snow removal tools to run here. I'm quick to prepare because I'm keeping Mr. Branch Leader and the Ship Eye Knight waiting.

"To town again? Do you want the snow to go on?

Some of the knights who came spoke to Mr. Branch Leader with the same ease as usual. I was wondering if you could be my friend to Mr. Branch Leader at that rate.

Mr Branch Leader begins his explanation pale.

"The snow removal in town is all over. It's at the foot of Mount Snowlea, where the Spirit lives."

Spirit, to the word Snowlea, I stood ear to ear.

"What, in this blizzard? Even though it's close to Mount Snowlea, it's quite suicidal. By and large, the path to the mountain is buried in snow..."

"If it's buried, you can dig it. Proceed with snow removal"

"Seriously."

Mr. Branch Leader gives me back my rush, and Kicks is butting in.

"But what are we going to do by getting to the foot of Snowlea?

"Offer to the altar there and ask the Spirit to stop the blizzard"

Having said that, Mr. Branch Leader, while on the horse, turned his gaze behind himself. There were a few bottles stuffed with cork there, but the smell tells me it was alcohol. Plus, it looks pretty high in alcohol. If I smell it nearby, I'll get drunk just because of the smell.

Mr. Branch Leader continued with his gaze back.

"'The Spirit is angry,' the old people in town were making a scene." This blizzard must also be due to it, if you offer your offerings and ask forgiveness, the weather will not recover for long, "he said.

"So to the altar...?

"The old people in town were about to go, so I stopped them by promising that we would take the offering instead. That's what you call suicide. On such a snowstorm day, we can't let the old man out."

"Because this blizzard is the Spirit's fault, is that what the Branch Leader thinks?

Kix asks what he wants to ask without being afraid of even the other party. He hasn't noticed the knights around him are a little harrowed.

But Mr. Branch Leader is not a disturbing breeze, he just answers the questions quietly. The knight with the naked eye also does not pinch his mouth and listens to the exchange between the two as he pays for the snow that keeps piling on my body.

"Half-heartedly, but I don't think we should scorn what the locals who have lived here longer than we do. And in fact, this weather is unusual."

That's what I said, I looked up at the rough, leaded sky. Violent winds and snow continue to blow for less than a second.

"If this blizzard is caused by the Spirit, it can continue to descend forever, unless her anger is lifted."

To the words of Mr. Branch Leader, the knights around him made his face draw. I guess I imagined what would happen if the blizzard continued like this.

Now that we have enough food and firewood, we can afford to make jokes and smile at the knights, but food and so on will definitely decrease from now on, and if the blizzard doesn't stop, we can't refill it anew. The monotonous heavy labor of snow removal also lasts for hours every day until the snow stops.

Your body gets exhausted, but you get less food and fuel, and you get caught up mentally. Even if I can't take refuge somewhere anymore, I'm covered in snow around the area and I can't move, and I just wait for death to freeze in the cold in a closed space called a fort...

Um, everyone's face is blue. I was a little relieved, too. I can't believe the blizzard that lasts forever...... We know spring is coming, so we can withstand the harsh winters.

Mr Branch Leader looks over at everyone and says quietly.

"I want to stop this snowstorm before it gets a lot of damage. It may be too late for you to leave it alone. Tomorrow, if the snowstorm continues in the same way, it will just be even harder to get to the altar. I want to do what I can while I still can."

To that extent, I further overlapped words and incited my men.

"But sure, it's dangerous to go see the Spirit in this blizzard. It's not that far from here to the altar, but in this snow it can be shipwrecked on that short road. Me and Grail have decided to go, even for the promises we made with the people in town, but I will not impose on you. Those who are not confident in their health may remain in the fort."

It is this fortress where many people are originally rough. There was no knight here to honestly say, "Oh, then I'm not sure, so I'll leave you a message."

"If the chief or deputy chief is going, we're going too!

"Because I'm only confident in my health!

"Yes, they do! What's the blizzard!

You looked blue until just now, and we're all thrilled to shout "whoa". We can melt the snow. We've got a hot, bitter group of momentum, but they're all rolling in the palm of Mr. Branch Leader's hand.

Both the chief of the branch and the knight of the ship's eyes are laughing a little when they see a simple and unhatable subordinate.

"Then we're just leaving. I want to come back to the fort before sundown."

The knight in the eye who was stroking my head stood up and said: The other knights said to it, "Ohhhh!!" and responds barking. Shut up!

"You're leaving a message."

The knight with the naked eye looks down at me and says gently. but I stuck to his long leg that I couldn't leave him. I'll never let you go!

Because if this blizzard is really caused by the Wrath of the Spirit, as the townspeople say, it's my mother's work.

And when I thought about what the hell my mother was mad at... I wondered for sure if she was mad at me...

When I came back to swing for a month, I was missing a good girl and I was supposed to leave a message. "Where did you go on your own, Milfilia?!" I can see you angry. Maybe they think I'm playing around fluffy. Very bad.

And when I thought so, I felt like my mother's wrath was hanging on each and every one of those crystals, every single snow coming down.

Yeah, the people in town and the chief of the branch who respected their words must be right. This isn't just a snowstorm. Unless I fix my mother's mood, I'll probably keep coming down... an endless snowstorm.

If the knights of the ship's eyes are going to see their mother, then of course I must go, which is the cause of the blizzard.

So I scratched the knight's boot with my forefoot, screaming desperately. Take me with you!

"You don't like leaving messages?

The knight with the naked eye gently raised the edge of his lips and lifted my body.

Wow. Um, the way I hold it is a little wild. Instead of gently hugging her to wrap her tight with both hands, like Mr. Teena, she said she'd turn one hand under my stomach and lift it all the way up.

Speaking of which, you were held like this when you were rescued from the pond. Although the knight's hand is large enough to feel stable with one hand...

"You can't take Sole with you. I'm in your way."

Mr. Branch Leader says it cold as he looks at this one.

But, my friend, I am well aware of that. You're worried about me, and you're telling me not to follow you because you're in danger. Proof of this is that Mr. Branch Leader's eyes are so troubled looking at me. I received the message "I'm sorry... but it's dangerous... it's dangerous outside..."

"Absolutely."

The knight with the naked eye nodded with me lifted with one hand.

"Teena, please"

"Oh, yes!

Mr. Tina reacted instantly to the short words of the Shigeye Knight and ran this way from the entrance and exit of the building. To receive me.

No, no, no, no! I said I'm going too! I'm not just saying it selfishly. I might be the cause of this blizzard, so I have to go! Apologize for leaving the address on your own and ask your mother to forgive you!

I resisted by moving my butterflies and short hands and feet, but the stabilisation of the knight's large hand in the naked eye was not half. What is this? It doesn't mean anything at all when you go wild. My stomach is supported, so my hands and feet only scratch the sky miserably. Despair.

"I'll be right back. Then I'll play in my room."

That's what I was comforted to say, but I don't want you to play, I do!

"Mill, why don't you leave a message with me?

Even in vain, the will of the person was ignored, and my body went from the hand of the knight of the sea eye into the hand of Mr. Tina. Mr. Teena can hold me for a long time and I can't chase a sailor-eyed knight who walks away.

"Let's go."

Mr. Branch Leader issues a decree, and the knights and kicks of the ship's eyes also leave on horseback. All I could do was drop off that hindsight disappearing into the snowstorm with a high barking voice.
