Legend

"Wow! Wait, wait, wait, wait!

Such a voice sounds and snowballs fly through the sky.

Avoid the snowballs that have flown on you and throw them at you just saying it's payback.

Ray watched with Seto the sight of more than ten children splitting into two teams for a snowball match.

The shavings I made a while ago are still in the center of the square.

The kids are playing a snowball on each side, using that ragged spot as a branch.

... Naturally, it was Ray who taught the kids the snowball rules.

Of course, we used snowballs to throw at each other, but Ray set clear rules for it.

Besides, Ray doesn't know the exact snowball rules either.

When the snowball battle, which is also an international competition, was shown on a TV show, it was somehow to the extent that I was watching the sight, so I guess I don't remember the detailed rules.

Still, I was just watching it on TV and it was rough...... I only knew a really big mess of rules.

Although the rule to that extent is that it is better to flag each other's positions and attack them with snowballs.

Naturally, if it hit a snowball, falling off was a big premise.

The image that Ray has never actually done it, but is close to a survival game.

"Ah! If I hit it, why is Lucez still here!

"Because I prevented it with my hands, naturally!

"Still hitting snowballs, you can't!

"It's okay because it's prevented!

Such an exchange enters Ray's ear.

And naturally, it was natural for Ray to ask his opinion as to what the two of them were doing with such an exchange.

"To Ray - honey, if you keep the snowballs out of your hands, you'll be fine!

"To Ray - you can't even prevent it with your hands because you hit a snowball!

That's what I was asked by the two of you, Ray, but I can't answer more than I don't remember the detailed rules.

"Uh, right. You can't just hit a snowball. It's a rule, so you can't prevent it with one hand."

"You see, you see!

"Ugh!"

Ray, who was watching such an exchange, takes the sandwich out of the mistering and transports it to his mouth, giving Seto the other.

"Gru."

Sandwiches with plenty of boiled oak meat sandwiches were too voluminous to be eaten as an intermittent meal if you think in terms of eating well.

But for Ray and Seto, that's also the right amount to eat with a snack feel.

"With that said, I wonder what happened to the meat"

"Grrrrrrrr?"

A few days have passed since I told the golden bread pavilion how to make meat.

Unlike Udon, which Ray had actually made, meaty... steamed bread in extension, Ray has never made.

It seemed that all I knew was rough ways of making and ideas.

Still, Rodrigo, the restaurant owner, was confident that he could improve the meatballs he had made with Ray into solid dishes.

Rodrigo with a weak appearance says so confidently, so I guess you can expect that.

"You want to go there one later?

The golden bread pavilion is not so far apart than this square is also in a place facing the boulevard.

In fact, even when the kids pulled me here to play with the snow, I saw that the Golden Bread Pavilion was open.

"Gru......"

But Seto rattles his throat at at Ray's words in a way he doesn't really care.

It's probably because the meatballs Ray fed me didn't taste very good.

Ray gently strokes Seto, who seems a little dissatisfied.

"Look, don't worry about it. If you're sure of your skill as a cook, the meatballs are gone."

"Gru?"

True? and Ray nods back to Seto, who tilts his neck and asks.

"Oh. He's an expert cook, so I guess he can do it on the boulevard."

"Heh. Ray even fed Seto something that wasn't tasty?

"No, it's not like it's not delicious, is it? Simply still prototyping...... yeah?

Even naturally, he notices the person who came into the conversation, and Ray turns his gaze to you.

Then there was the appearance of Mileyne, who was pointing a slightly fixed gaze at Ray.

"Where did you emerge from?

"From where, when I normally went through there, I found Seto, so I just showed my face? So, Ray. He said it was a prototype dish, but maybe it's not an unsavory dish, is it?

"You don't taste bad... It's just that I'm a little short."

"... Really?

To that word, Mileyne turns her doubtful gaze to Ray.

I regret that Seto loves Ray... but I really regret it, but I knew it.

To the extent that if you were told to choose between yourself and Ray, you would definitely choose Ray.

That's why I could have predicted that even if Ray gave Seto an unsavory dish, Seto would protest slightly but still not seriously dislike it.

... but as much as Seto likes Ray, I also know Ray likes Seto, so I wasn't really that worried.

"Mr. Ray, is it true that you annoyed Seto?

"... you too, where the hell did you come from"

Ray tells Johanna the same words he said to Mileyne earlier.

Sometimes the whole city, and Ray didn't perceive the signs in so much detail.

Also, he didn't have feelings of hostility or vigilance towards Ray, which is probably why he didn't realize the two of them would show up.

(Seems like it would be a good idea to be hostile if you asked Seto if he had eaten meatballs. No, if it's anything to do with Seto, does it outweigh my abilities?... it's amazing how you can't say that's impossible)

It was also strange for Ray to be convinced for some reason, given the love Miraine and Johanna have always had for Seto.

"So, I didn't mean to hurt you."

Yeah, Ray says, but the two of them don't try to believe it right away.

In contrast, when Ray tried to open his mouth again...

"Ah! Miraine, honey, it's Johanna! Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

A child who sharply finds the two of them, screams.

Mileyne is a Rank C Party Burning Wind Leader who can be described as a young Hope.

... I've been pretty deprived of the topicality since Ray came, but I'm pretty sure he's still an arm in the young.

And Johanna is not as famous as Mileyne, but still has such visibility as knowing, as one of the leaders of a group of capable adventurers - the former face of the guerrillas.

Most of all, Mileyne and Johanna, who fight over Seto, are known to many, so they are more famous.

In fact, the kids who were in the snowball knew Mileyne and Johanna because they were touring Seto as well.

"Huh? Me?

"... hmm. Are you sure? If Miraine's not sure she's going to beat me, she can miss it."

"Mm-hmm. Fine. I won't do it for you. Instead, if I win, I'll have the right to play with Seto."

"Okay? Instead, remember, that's what happens when I win."

Between the two of us saying so, there was definitely a splash of spark.

Don't even ask your own opinion, don't decide that on your own.

That's what I wanted to say, Ray, but I'm pushed by the two forces to shut up.

"Gru?"

If Seto didn't like it, Ray would have definitely stopped the two casual claims, too.

But Seto doesn't even show how he hates the way the two of them are, and if he's going to play with himself, it's a welcome atmosphere.

Even though Seto wants it, it's also a weird story that Ray stops it... and Ray, who thought so, eventually shuts up and watches the two of them interact.

"Fine, you can never lose to the other team! Make sure you win!

Mileyne delivers a speech to her teammates' children.

Even if we don't understand the words deep down, it's naturally not funny that the kids lose in the snowball.

Therefore, it increases solidarity and motivation.

"We all know that, don't we? If you lose to Miraine's opponent, you're too embarrassed to walk around the table. So we'll definitely win. All right?

Naturally Johanna also inspires her teammates not to lose to Mileyne.

Johanna's team was also raising their minds about each of them, wondering if they would ever lose over there.

Two teams like that bump into each other, so naturally we need a referee...

"So, I'm the judge."

Naturally, the only neutral Ray on this occasion will be judging.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrr"

Next to such a ray, Seto sounds his throat happily for some reason.

For Seto, who has little experience playing snow with everyone in this way, even with the same referee as Ray, he would have been happy to participate in a snowball fight.

"Well, precautions. If it hits a snowball, it shall be considered death and exit from the square. Even if you use your hands or feet to prevent it, you will be disqualified at that point if it hits a snowball. Don't let snowballs ever put anything inside or grip it with thoughtfulness."

The last one was a word as she looked at the faces of Mileyne and Johanna, not the children.

... The scary thing would be that you both looked at Ray like that and felt sorry for him.

Of course, I guess I wasn't going to throw the snowballs I made that way at my kids...

Conversely, if Mileyne and Johanna were opponents, Ray would have felt like we were going to use every means in earnest without hesitation from each other.

The fact is, were we meant to do that to each other, and we nod back unfortunately to Ray's words.

"Okay? You really gotta stop imitating that, huh? If you want to break the rules, I won't let you play with Seto. Hey, Seto?

"Gru!"

Exactly, and a throaty ceto.

Once in battle, that is what Seto relentlessly defeats his enemies with his strong physical abilities.

But Seto is basically pacifist when he's not.

That's why Seto cautions the two of us against dangerous imitations in this snowball fight.

Two people who often dispute over Seto, but for Seto, he's a kind person who keeps to himself, plays, and gives him food.

I wanted them to stop fighting like that, naturally.

"Ugh, I get it."

"If Seto says so..."

Unacceptable, but convinced of each other... Ray, who sees it, opens his mouth again.

"Then be square, don't be a cowardly imitator and fight.... OK, here we go!

With that word, the Mileyne and Johanna factions throw snowballs at their opponents, respectively.

I will focus on avoiding snowballs immediately after throwing them, beyond preventing them with my hands or feet without question and disqualifying them.

But none of them could have done as they wished, and naturally those whose snowballs hit came out.

"Ouch!

"Cold!

"Wow!

"Hey, yeah!?

With a screaming and cheering voice that way, the children who hit the snowballs one after the other go outside the square and come to Ray's side.

Looking at what those who were walking down the boulevard are doing with interest, but those who are snowball can't afford to care about such a gaze.

If you show any gaps, one snowball after another will fly.

Mileyne and Johanna in particular are throwing snowballs at each other, but even if that's not what they aimed at the kids, there are also people out there who eat rolls and hit snowballs.

"Yeah, I don't know!

"That way!

With that screaming, Miraine and Johanna each other throw snowballs, avoiding them, and take the snow that is piling on the ground in their evasive movements, and make snowballs.

By stunning...... or wasting your abilities as an adventurer while fighting to hit your opponent with a snowball.

The kids are throwing snowballs at each other around, but only the adventurers could have said that the battle between the two was a different dimension.

"About!

"Is that what makes you!

A flashy snowball continues...... eventually each other throws snowballs at once that this is the last time.

That's how we avoided each other the snowballs we threw... the next time we tried to connect, Ray's voice echoed around.

"That's it!

Why!? and the discontent also reveals Mileyne and Johanna gazing at Ray... but when Ray gazed behind each other, just behind Mileyne and Johanna, the snowballs thrown at each other on both flags were hitting each other.

"This battle, it shall be a draw"

That's what happened in the end.
