My Skills Are Too Strong to Be a Heroine

Witch's House ① Uninvited noisy guests

It is said that the dancing snow traps the surrounding sound inside its fine crystals. The snow that fell into the mountains was even worse.

But it was not only because of that, but also because of the unusual quiet that surrounded the snowy city that I visited.

Even though it's still daytime, I haven't appeared as one person.

Two large coniferous trees covered in snow rising like gates at the entrance to the city.

In the meantime, a hanging sign, "Welcome to the warm-hearted city of Polar Sleeve! Contrary to the bright complain, I was rubbing my neck and nose inside the wrapped muffler. It's cold.

I didn't care about my mind, so I wanted to warm up quickly when I hit the fire. I sighed thinking that there was nothing emotional about it. Sadly white.

"It's cold....."

"Don't cry, Aria. I think I'll freeze my tears and nose because I'm below freezing."

Mayan, who advises me to whisper a weak voice, but his face was wrapped around with a muffler that included Taichiro's share, so he could no longer see anything but one eye. Looks like a mummy.

But I know how much you want to do that. As soon as the weather turned into winter, I put on thick coats and gloves and mufflers and cold protection, so I am now something like this.

But now that the movement during the battle is dull... and the girls are worried and wrinkling between their eyebrows, Takao next door starts to take off his muffler.

"Sorry, Amamiya-san, it's cold, isn't it?

"Ah, no thanks....."

While politely rejecting the mummy's pseudo-fiction, I feel a little relieved by its kindness and my body temperature has risen. I love it!

"Still... even though it's not very popular, right? It's really dark because there's no sunshine, but it's still lunch."

Lovely chimneys grew everywhere in the city's lined houses and triangular roofs with white snow, and white smoke stood up from them. The windows are leaking warm orange light, which means they're sitting still in the house. Because it's cold?

"Even if it's cold, it's not hibernation, so you don't need to keep it. If you're alive, you'll have fewer."

Taichiro, who gave up the muffler to Maya, rubs his neck cold, pointing at the fireplace that seems to be piled up on the house. [M] Every house seemed to have so little storage left to count. If I don't go out and get something new today or tomorrow, it's going to be a very cold night...

"You mean you can't get out if you want to?

"Probably. Well, I don't know what's going on, where the witch lives, or if I wander around in the dark clouds.... and above all, it's cold."

Takao stood in front of a nearby house, rubbing his nose, and knocked on the concourse and door.

... I haven't heard back.

We burst into a warm smoke that could get in from the chimney.

Apparently not very popular, I grabbed the leftover snow pattern that was forcibly enclosed in my coat. I can't hesitate here, because of the ineffectiveness of the selfish, I have to use my heart as a samurai and do my best!

"It was also aaaaaa!!

"Something's different, Amamiya-san!

Um, I'm sorry, I'm a traveler, but I need to ask you something!

When Takao threw an exemplary greeting while pulling and controlling my hood, he finally made a murmuring noise and the door opened.

It was my vigilant uncle who let me peek through the gap between the half-closed doors. From the back of the house, you can hear the shagging voice of the child and the jumping footsteps, and the voice of the woman holding it.

Looking back at them, his uncle raised his chin a little annoying.

"... are you traveling? I'm sorry, but this year's festival is canceled, so we should get out of here."

"Festivals? No, we have something to do with witches who live in this city..."

Takao said so, and his uncle stared at us in surprise.

"You're going to the Grand Witch? I'm sorry, but if you're going to save your life, you'd better stop going where you weren't called. That witch is terribly careful."

"Wow, are you a bad witch?

"Now... it's not bad, but it's not good. She's weird. If you're not a kid yet, go home."

"It's okay! I've been chasing, submerging and shooting my forehead with a gun, but I'm fine!

When I decided the piece, my uncle pulled it openly and said, "Is that okay...?" she whispered.

Then, the door opens completely with the sudden and gentle momentum of the body. Somehow, a little girl and a boy had to hug each other in my uncle's leg.

Come on, get in there.

"Dad, who are these people?

"Again from the Royal Order? Or is it the Devil again?

"Neither. I'm telling you not to run around the house."

"Because I want to play."

Uncle laughs bitterly while lightly decorating the children who fall apart.

"I'm sorry, I haven't let you out for a long time, so I don't have enough health...."

"Um, why can't I go outside?

Before my uncle opened his mouth, the children at his feet cheerfully raised their voices.

"The wolves are coming from the mountains!

"If you're outside, you'll be eaten!

Then gaoh and his hands clawed, imitating the beast, and laughing at the shards.

"A wolf? A beast?

"Oh, there's a big mountain on the other side of the city, isn't there? It's called Magic Snow Peak, and it's a valuable lumber sourcing area in this city... but recently it's been turned into the root castle of the demon clan, so I can't get in. Besides, the Demon Clan is bringing a lot of Demon Beasts, so I can't go out... and the Royal Knights who rushed to support me won't come back after climbing the mountain."

The uncle strokes the children's heads in trouble.

The four of us looked at each other with hard spit on the word "demon tribe." But Takao raises his hand.

"Even though the demons are right there, is it okay to just stay in the house?

"Ah, it seems that the demon tribe is looking for someone, and I don't see them on my teeth just like the people in the city... I don't know when I'll change my mind. I thought it was about the witch, but once I entered the building, I did nothing and went home."

Who's going to push back that witch, the demon race...?!

Nevertheless, it is too pathetic for such small children not to come out. I don't know what it's like not to do harm, but I can't overlook this!

"Uncle, don't worry! I...."

So, ah, look back. And when I nodded at everyone's expressions, I corrected them forcefully.

"We will defeat that demon clan!

"... hah?

My uncle was gloomy, but after explaining the way to the witch's house, he did his best to see the freak... and quietly closed the door.

The streets that nobody walks on are covered in soft new snow, and every step I take, I make a loud, creepy sound and leave my footprints behind in the strange city.

Next to it, which was interesting and proceeded to the intersection of nose songs, Takao had a difficult face and put his arms together.

"... that's incomprehensible. The demons said that they were frightened and irrational, but the demons they met in the first city all seemed to envisage killing, and the twins on the island ruled and treated people as if they were normal. Whether they eliminate humans or take advantage of them, they should never be the object of silence."

"Isn't it reasonable to think that witch is involved? I don't know what witches are in the first place... but they're not like magicians."

"I'm worried that you're looking for someone. Is it an enemy or a companion of yours? They're probably destroying the elite Royal Knights."

I listened to the three people who were having a slightly difficult argument with their white breath in the air and explored the timing of entering the conversation, but it seemed like there was nothing I could say.

For people like me who are not smart, what I don't know when I think about it is that I can only rush into it without fear ─ ─ ─ while I think about it, I can see the witch's house on the outside of the city.

"... a haunted house?

Mayan's impression of the muffler's voice was accurate, though.

The Witch's House was about three times the size of the city's houses, and it was an unmistakably old mansion.

I can feel hundreds of years of history from a distance. Snow and ice hang on the spider's nest, like an artistic decoration. The walls are full of gaps and the windows are clearly cracked, but I wonder if it's cold.

There's no light, and it doesn't look like people live here... ah, a witch, not a person? I mean, isn't she a witch? Hmm.

"... what do we do? It's suspicious to see."

Nah. If the old man doesn't want to die, tell him to go home. If he breaks into it, he'll be in terrible trouble. "

While listening to the voices of the boys under deliberation in half, I felt my chest pounding.

... no, it's not me, the rest of the snow is rushing down my waist. There is indeed a way to repair the demonic sword here.

"All right, I can't help being lost! Whatever happens, we just do something! Amamiya, let me guess!!

"Ah!? Shit, I was shocked to think you were keeping quiet!!

"You're a horse deer, Takao, hold the lead!!

Takao and Taichiro scream like they're talking about a dog or something, and run all over the snow towards the witch house.

And he bounced back and sank from his back into the snow.

It seems to have been in front of the building gate, by a recoil that collided with the wall.

"Amamiya-san!!

"Aria!?

"Look at that, I won't tell you!!

I was agonized by the pain and the cold, listening to the footsteps of three people rushing over the snow. The snow falling from the sky looking up mixes with tears. Ugh, uhh, I saw a star for a moment...

As I pressed my nose against the invisible wall, which was the main cause of the pain, I was struck by a feeling that had arisen there.

"Amamiya-san, are you okay?! My head....."

"Come on, don't come!!

Takahiro was scared for a moment by my sad screams, but as soon as he raised his eyebrows sharply, he crouched and pulled his arms and held me up on the snow.

"... good, the noticeable injury... ah"

"Hey, Aria, you went flashy, but you're alive?............ ah"

"What is it, the wall? If anything happens to Aria's head..."

I was shaking myself not by the cold, but by the shame, as Takao opened his mouth with a sympathetic face, Maya, and Taichiro, who could bear the laughter.

"... I told you not to come..."

Flowing lavishly from both noses, and crying in the cold of a beautiful frozen nosebleed, I burned the witch's sincerity and aversive determination in the cold.
