The place Youre led me to was quite far from the orphanage. There is a small but river running nearby. The tree there was certainly huge. Well, even if I say it's big, compared to the trees growing near the orphanage, about eight meters tall?

Others seem to be easier to remember in places because they are about a few meters lower than that. Once I checked my surroundings, I thought that approaching the tree from the river might leave no footprints. When I told Yua about it and moved near the tree, the snow gradually deepened and I crossed my knee length. And through there, the snow was shallow.

"Maybe you should dig around here and hide it."

"You dig around here?

"That's right. Well, don't dig with your hands on a boulder, use magic to drill a hole."

I drilled about 50 cm square using magic a little off the roots where I've been saying that.

"With this much, will everyone's share go in?

"Ugh, yeah.... Well, Lena's magic is amazing..."

"Really?

"Yeah. I thought we were going to dig with our own hands."

"I wouldn't do that to a boulder. In the meantime, we have to get Yua ready too, so we can go back, and then we can all come back again?

"Yeah."

That's how we went back to the orphanage and waited for Yours to be ready.

Then after a while everyone came with the luggage so I checked the luggage. Everyone had clothes in them that seemed warm, so I think maybe it's okay. That's how I moved to the place where the hole I dug earlier.

And when I came nearby, I made a move from the river to near the tree explaining where I would hide it. Then I made the trip to the place where I dug the hole, but remembering that the snow was quite deep, I arrived at the place to hide it while avoiding the snow to the left and right to make it easier for the Lumias to walk.

And I laid the waterproof robe I had in the hole. When I laid them down thinking that this would prevent their clothes from getting dirty to some extent, I told Yua and Lumia that my robe would get dirty or something, so I washed it when I collected it, so I told them to put it here.

I covered them with snow so they wouldn't see me after I hung the fur I had on top of them where their baggage was finished.

"In the meantime, I think this is fine. If nothing happens until I get back, I'm gonna go get it with you, but if anything happens, you're gonna come here and get your stuff, okay?

When I said that, everyone nodded, so we all went back to the orphanage, and then I broke up with Yours and headed to the guild.
