Life with my Little Sister

"Yu, snow......?

What was in the box was melting snow.

Apparently, this little box was meant to store snow.

In this world, box-shaped demonic props cooling with demonic stones - like refrigerators and freezers exist.

However, freezers are extremely expensive because freezing uses more energy.

I also hear that the refrigerator is quite expensive. But whatever it is, existence itself does.

It seems that this little box is also a kind of...

(Awesome...... The cold air is not leaking at all. I don't know, only in this little box is' a different world '. I cut out a completely different environment and it feels like I delivered it in here)

Even if it was limp and cold in the box, it didn't seem like a simple fridge or freezer.

A tiny different world is there.

And the most important thing.

It's this' contents'.

This can't be just snow any more than preparing this much magic prop.

Isn't it this snowy one, not the little box, that Abel didn't want to show until she tied the line?

"Abel, can I touch...?

"... n"

I got permission to touch the snow.

For a moment, because I was skipping the subject, I thought about saying, "It was the ear that gave me permission -" but I stopped. I'm an asshole, too, not to think such a shabby thing comes to mind in these situations.

I slowly stroke it in my finger belly.

It was so soft. I can tell it's extremely fine snow.

(Magic......! This snow, it's a piece of magic...!

Snow made of magic. No, should I call it the magic in the form of snow?

At the same time, I understood what this was all about.

"This...... No, 'this guy' is some kind of carcass, right?

"...... hmm. The kid was a snow elf. The, the body."

Snow Fairy!

It is a type of spirit that can be witnessed in places with snowfields and frozen soil, including magic.

"Why are you saving it in this box?

"... to show you"

It seems that when the snow elves die, they become magic and melt into the world.

You think this is a very rare case, not long after death, before extinction?

Now, what you're saying to me on purpose is, feel something, right?

When I touched it earlier, I was surprised to say it was a piece of magic, and I didn't see any more of it.

So seriously, let's feel the remnants of our magic from this melted snow.

…………

I close my eyes and access the root of the remains of the Snow Fairy. What's left of it.

"Is this... fever? Flames... No, the Derivative Magic Hotline of Flames?

The hotline is infrared when it comes to the Earth world, but when it comes to this world, it refers to magic that shoots out high heat.

Or, a natural phenomenon.

Like a geyser, in an area of intense thermal magic, do you think there are places that blow up?

Either way, the remains of this snow elf have the magic of heat creeping into some of the snow.

I guess I took a hot line and ran out of breath.

"A magician using fever, or a monster throwing up a hotline. But did you get hit?

It shouldn't be a natural phenomenon.

Because the area where the hotline blows and the area where the snow sperm inhabits should be a completely different environment.

"... both"

"You mean magicians and monsters? You got caught up in a shootout, too?

"... yeah. From between snow and ice, a hotline blew out"

"From between snow and ice!?"

But in one word, there are some things that you can see as you blur.

Either way, Abel said.

In other words, I guess I felt something manipulative in the shadow of an unnatural natural phenomenon with a hotline blowing out.

"...... just as there are areas where hotlines blow, there are places in the land of snow and ice where strong magical blizzards and cold winds blow. For the snow fairies, it will be a valuable place to live."

I've heard that snow elf food is magical ice, snow or wind.

In areas where it's just cold, they can't survive.

"Uh, a hotline blew out instead of a snowstorm, is that good enough?

"...... hmm. So there's damage to the snow elves."

"Someone did it, right?

"... n"

There's no reason to be a jerk.

I guess someone had some will or idea of something and did it actively.

"If there's a killer, do you have any idea?

"... None"

Master Elf's words were concise, but I guess I can't say anything else.

There are other things to ask.

"How did Abel find out about this?

"... to someone I know, there is an ice sperm. The child has asked for help."

Those who are extremely partial to the knowledge of Abel's existence, and who are somewhat close to her, may reach out to the Shorcina Chamber of Commerce to deliver a message through each chamber branch, he said.

Apparently it's a system that used to act as a message board between elves, but the Ice Sperm kid used it.

By the way, she also used this means of communication when she had me.

"Did you get the body of this snow elf delivered with the message, too?

Delivery of the body, that's a pretty allergic expression, but I can't help it.

"... I've been contacted, so I've met him in person"

"Oh, did that child come all the way to Wang Du Kunda?"

"... yeah. I went to see him."

Hmm? What do you mean?

Abel is living with us in this detachment, and she's not supposed to be on a journey.

"... because I am also the custodian of the 'key'"

――

When I tilted my neck, Abel offered me another little box, without further explanation.

"... Al has something to ask for, but before I do, I want to try"

"What's in this box?

"... open it"

"Not a surprise box, is it?

I open the box carefully.

Then there it is.

"Me......"

"Yu, snow elf! Alive snow elves or this!?"

Among the tiny other worlds, bright white snow was laid.

And there, a sort of snow shaking, about the size of a beeball.

Alive.

This snowball is certainly alive.

The first living snow fairy I saw. But he seemed scared of me.

"... Snow Fairy is very timid. So I think Al's getting along with Snow Fairy will change the job he asks for. Let me see if I can get along with her."

"Me......"

The snow elf moves to the corner of the box and looks up at this one frightened.

When I put the box on my desk, I arch my hands and think.

(You got along with me not even Tamer...... If the words make sense, I'll talk to you first. Maybe he can't talk, can he?

I guess "Me......" sounds like the best you can hear from earlier.

Communication through conversation is unlikely to be desired.

"Abel, how old is this kid?

"… the snow fairy, has just been born. It's not been a week."

"Huh. Did you bring such a young child?

"... only the child was fit when it was put in a small box and the size of the ice field snow could also be put in"

Poor thing. You'd be careful......

I want to stroke him, but if I stick my hand in him, he's going to be even more frightened.

(What do we do? Is there any way you can get to know me and the humans? On top of that, there's something we can get along with)

I think it's convenient for me to say something, but I don't think there's anything else I can think of on that route.

(Words are impossible. I'm scared to touch you, too. Anything else -)

That's right!

I was tempted to appeal to the underlying desires of the organism.

A little further away from the snow elves, create ice cubes.

It's ice full of my magic.

Do you like this or don't you?

Carefully distance yourself after you make ice so you don't scare them.

The magic of vision enhancement has been available since I was a baby, so I retreated as far as the inside of the box could peek.

"Mi ~..."

The snow sperm approached the ice.

I let my tiny body touch the ice as if it were a little sticky with my fingers.

"Me!"

Then, as if surprised by something, Snow Fairy caught on to the ice.

"Me, me"

High tone of voice. I don't know, are you happy?

"... Al's magic looks delicious"

"That was good."

He looks desperate to hold onto the ice, but he just seems to be eating indifferently. Were you hungry?

"Me."

Eventually Snow Fairy stopped eating and looked back at me.

There is no previous fright there.

(Do you want to touch it now...?

I approached him slowly so he wouldn't surprise me, and I put my finger inside the box.

Snow Fairy doesn't run away.

So I try to stroke a little snowball in the belly of my finger that wraps the cold air around me.

"Mimmy......"

Did you like the cold air, or did it feel good to be stroked?

Snow Fairy gave a relaxed voice somewhere.

"I don't know about the other snow fairies, but at least we're gonna get along with this kid."

"... n"

I also feel like it was just feeding, but Abel nodded at me.

For once, they call it passing.

"... Al. I'd like to ask you for two jobs."

"What can I do for you, Princess?

"... one is the creation of the Snow Demon Sword"

"Yeah."

That's what I expected.

Until now, I don't know why I need the Snow Demon Sword.

Well, what's the other one?

Abel said with the usual faceless expression, pale as this.

"... with me, I want you to go to the Great Ice Plains"
