Reincarnation Monarch

One.

Shester's sad cry quickly reached her parents' ears relaxing downstairs.

The two instantly felt something unscrupulous about Shester's screams, and rose up in a agile motion like a small animal when their natural enemies approached them, rushing up the stairs leading to the second floor where Shester was located despite the fact that the chair sitting in the shock fell backwards at that time.

And his father, who reached the stairs first, rushed up the stairs all at once with the momentum as it stood, instantly reaching in front of Shester's room.

"Shester! What's up!? Is something wrong?

His father called on Chester in a strong tone as he slammed the door hard with a very rugged look that was not his usual mild look.

There his mother finally caught up with him and called him to Chester, as did his father, either out of anxiety or grasping his father's clothes.

"Shester, what's wrong!? What was that voice?!?

Shester finally answered my father and mother's impatient call through the door.

"... no! I knew it! Don't come in!!

Shester turned away from earlier words seeking relief and uttered a word of rejection.

After hearing it, the parents looked at each other in the face and were silent for a while, and at about the same time turned back to the door to ask questions harshly about Chester.

"What are you talking about, Shester!? You don't know what I'm talking about, do you? Explain that to your fathers!

"Shester, what happened? Hey, what the hell is wrong with you?

In response to repeated sad calls from his parents, Shester simply repeated, "Don't go into the room," and "Don't touch the door knob".

As a result, the father, who did not think it was obvious, finally put his hand on the door knob, ignoring the restraint of his beloved son.

Then his father's harsh face suddenly transformed into something suspicious.

"What is this? What the hell is this cold..."

Then a shout of Shester rang from inside the room.

"No, Dad! Get your hands off the door knob now! Or you'll freeze to your father!

"What do you mean, Shester!? What the hell is that?.................. Become!?

At that time, the surface of the metal door knob changed jerkily.

Until then, the silver glow changed and once in a while it turned white.

"Ko, is this frost?... no... stick around and keep your hands off me!

His father desperately tried to pull it off with his left hand to let go of his right hand sticking to the door knob, but occasionally even his left hand froze again.

His father had no choice but to use his entire body to try to pull off the momentum, but the freeze had already reached his elbow, so the effort ended in prison.

Then his father yelled back at me all the time.

"Mother! Get away from me! Right now!

But it was already too late, and his mother's arms, who had tightly clenched his father's clothes, had already begun to freeze.

"No, no... it's frozen... no..."

Hearing a mother who was about to disappear, Shester couldn't help but scream.

"Sorry! Dad! Mother! Just because I was stupid!

And Shester shrugged softly in a voice that was about to disappear again.

"... let go..."

Two.

The next morning, the town made a fuss.

Because in just one night an ice hall suddenly appeared all over town.

The people of the town looked up at the ice hall and were greatly surprised, some of them even slipping out of their hips.

And at the same time people thought of the safety of the inhabitants of this house.

But they didn't see any way to fix this.

Apparently, the Ice Hall has already stopped its growth, and even though the people in town tried touching the ice, it never occurred to them that they would freeze, or even a formula to dissolve the ice well.

Because when you look at the clear ice, the thickness was 1 M (Merkle).

[Note] 1 Merkle is about 1 meter

If it just melts, even dried straw will have to be piled up around the house and set on fire, but the house inside can't be intact either.

There is also a risk of burning them all if the timing of digestion is incorrect.

Therefore the people of the city were in the way, but there appeared a man pointing to the thread of the resolution.

It is Peteus of the liquor store.

Everyday, he drinks so heavily that he even drinks in his shop that he is a hated and useless drunk who drinks all year round, but all this time his former military service came in handy.

"Hey! This is due to magic!

Peteus once watched the magician's frozen magic when he was in the army.

"Magic? Are you sure?

Peteus confidently answered the questionable question of Barack the Tool Store, one of Peteus's few friends.

"Definitely! I've seen it before. Besides, it's more or less a magic thing that happens naturally!

Everyday, he was Peteus, hated and neglected by his surroundings, but his remarks now were convincing.

For that reason, all those around them who heard Peteus began to whisper, "Magic..." and "Was it magic..."

And it finally got into the ear of the mayor who bound the town.

"Well... was it magic? Then there's nothing we can do about it. Somebody get in touch with the Magic Society right away!

To the life of the mayor, a young man who was nearby ran out quickly and disappeared as he saw it on the outskirts of town.

The mayor turned back to the ice hall when he confirmed that the young man was no longer visible, leaking one deep sigh before saying.

"Nevertheless... who the hell did the magic..."
