53. Departure

There was a way to break up into the mountains along the way as I left the west gate and walked along the street for a while. The snow grew deeper and deeper as we walked down that path into the mountains. Along the street, the carriage went through quite a bit or deeper than the ankle, but when it entered the mountain, it became as swollen as the tibia, and now there is about as much snow on my knees.

"... you can't go by carriage this far."

"It's still going deep, isn't it?

That's what I said, looking at a place that would be a path where the trees weren't standing.

"... right. Is Lena okay?

"I'm fine. And Miss Elena?

"I'm still okay, too. For once, I've lived in this mountain, so I'm quite fine, but I'm a little nervous about it for a long time..."

"Let's go ahead and take a break on the way, shall we?

"Right. Let's do that."

That's how the snow was getting deeper around my fat crotch as I went along with a short break. It's hard to walk this far into boulders. But sometimes the snow is soft, and I can walk about as resistant as I feel when I walk. This could have been harder if it had been hard snow. and walked with that in mind.

Then it was around lunch, and I sat retreating the snow around the roots of the trees. Then Mr. Elena was about to eat the dried meat as it was, but in the cold, she wondered how to eat the cold food and decided to make a warm soup. Strain water appropriately in the pan, stick dried meat or vegetables in and simmer. Then, the soup was finished by seasoning with salt and pepper.

Pour the soup that you could do that into a cup and give it to Mr. Elena with you to try to Four.

"Go ahead."

"Oh, thank you"

And I poured my share too.

"I'll have it."

"I'll have it."

When I said that and started eating, Elena was whining "yummy". I'm glad it was in Elena's mouth. and Elena has said this when she is eating with a little relief.

"Lena's magic is amazing. I can't believe you're so free to use magic without chanting..."

"Oh, yeah?

I was scratching a little cold sweat listening to Mr. Elena. Sometimes it meant working on the snow, and it might have tasted a little bad because when I built the foundation appropriately, I was making it while maintaining fire magic without burning trees or anything.

"I may not be able to eat warm food because I'm traveling in the snow. I'm so glad Lena made you soup because I thought so."

"Oh, thank you. We still have soup, so eat as much as you like."

"Hehe, thanks, Lena"

That's how Elena and I replaced the soup and finished the meal safely. Then for a little while, I took a break and then started walking towards the village of Coccolo again.
