Rice for Enoch’s Second Expeditionary Unit

I'm breaking up with Grandpa and Grandma, and I'm leaving.

"Hey, take this"

I just broke up waving my hand, but my grandfather pops out. He had a wrap in both hands.

"Juice of wood strawberries, dried mushrooms, raindeer dried meat, salted meat, then baked sweets made yesterday by your grandmother."

"Well, can I have this, please?

Mr. Zara receives the package as she rounds her eyes.

"Hey, it's a wedding celebration. Don't be shy."

"Thank you"

I told him to be happy, and he sent me away. What kind of people are they?

I gratefully received it and left the woodshed.

Because Raindia took enough breaks, or she's full of energy.

Grandpa said he was also getting food and water. The footprint is light.

"I'm glad you stopped snowing, too"

"Right."

The climate around here seems changeable. No matter how sunny it is, it doesn't seem uncommon to have a blizzard five minutes from now.

Ms Zara had told us that the forest of Fore Elf and the environment in her hometown were similar, but the land would be definitely harsher.

The snow in the forest of Fore Elf is not comparable here.

"You'd be surprised, wouldn't you? There's only snow and trees."

"It's a wonderful place with snow, trees, people who live strong on this land, and their own culture."

"Thank you, Mel"

Mr. Zara then said in a voice that was going to disappear, Boso.

"It's an exclusive place, so maybe some people will be surprised to see Mel... I'm sorry. I should have explained this in advance."

"No, it's fine. Like here, in a snowy, harsh land, protecting your life is paramount, and it's normal to be alert to others."

It is the families and fellow citizens who do not rely on countries and organizations and live in self-sufficiency who believe. In that situation, some of them commit incredible crimes like poachers. It's not impossible to get tough eyes.

"Well, just some of them, most of them, I think, will be welcome."

As a recent story here, villages are also changing since tourism began in the surrounding area.

Zara doesn't seem to have seen that change either, and it looks like the information that came from the family letter.

"Well, even if I say it's changed, I don't think I'm going to be stared at just walking outside anymore."

While we're talking about that, we get to Mr. Zara's village of birth.

At the entrance to the village, a splendid gate was formed.

"Oh, at some point, you got something like that"

"Something tells me you have a sign. Uh..." Welcome to Bobcat's hometown! "It seems to say"

"What the hell!? I've never heard of a Bobcat before."

Dive the gate and enter the village. Then, all of a sudden, there was a statue mimicking Bobcat.

"This has never happened before!

There was also a souvenir shop, which contained bobcat stuffed animals, postcards, cups and more.

In every part of the village, there are signs like "Bobcat spots”.

"What the hell is going on?

Even though it was a closed village, it suddenly seemed like a tourist destination.

As opposed to being lively with bobcat signs, decorations, etc., there is no sign of a person.

They have a snow country, but they become war-torn by unfamiliar sights.

I finally discovered people when I walked into a lodging house that seemed to be around for a long time.

Mr. Zara parks Soli, goes outside and listens.

I was told to wait in the soli.

"Hey uncle, what's going on here!?

"Mm, is that Lara? It's been a long time since I got home."

"I'm the last Zara."

"Oh!? Oh, the king's capital. He said he went and became a knight. No, you're doing fine!

"I don't mind talking about it, but I need you to tell me how this is happening here."

"Like this?"

"It's like a tourist destination, isn't it?

"Oh, you mean that? I heard that there would be a demon stone train and people would come and go, so the new village chief said," Let's start with sightseeing. "

"You were."

Apparently, the village mayor has replaced him, so the atmosphere in the village is also changing.

"No, because there's only a bobcat, he said there's no way to do a tourist business, but on the contrary, the village chief said I should sell a bobcat. There's no Bobcat anywhere else."

"Well, yeah."

"It's not until the snow breaks out that we start our business in earnest. We're in the prep stage now."

"In this state, you're still in the preparation stage..."

"Guys, I've been busy making products at home that mimic Bobcats."

I guess I was generally able to grasp the situation. Zara was bowing her head deeply to her innkeeper.

"I'm sorry, Mel. Let's go."

"Yes."

Finally, we reach Mr. Zara's home.

It is a two-story, wooden house. I was kind of thrilled to think that Mr. Zara grew up here.

Now, it seems that only Zara's parents live there. Since all your sisters went with their daughter-in-laws, do you think it's the extent to which they occasionally return home?

Looks like your grandfather and grandmother gave you that information.

"Until before, my sister and her wife lived there, but they must have been independent. This is what happens because I haven't been in touch with you yet."

"Zara, I've been busy here lately."

Hold the Bobcat baby in your chest and go outside.

"Wow!!

I felt Kin and cold air with this body.

By far, it's the coldest.

First, he took Raindia to the cabin to water and feed her.

Looks like Raindia's paying for a round trip, and she's staying while we're at it.

The inside of the cabin is warm and I scratch my sweat carefully.

There were three other Raindias, looking at us strangely.

Outside again, it is a world of extreme cold.

"It's cold, isn't it? Let's get inside."

"Right."

Zara opened the door and said, "I'm home!," he called out.

Then I heard a reply from the back.
