"Oh, there's snow..."

When I woke up in the morning and opened the window in the room trying to ventilate, the outside world was a funny stain.

Mountains, meadows and courtyards visible in the distance - all of which were packed with snow.

Looking up, it's snowing from the sky.

Apparently, it's been snowing since last night.

Taking the snow that was piling on the edge of the window, it's naturally cold.

But this cold was fresh and comforting.

A view of the snow that will shake for a year. Don't get emotional that it's been another season like this this this year.

From what I can do with ice magic, snow and ice are relatively familiar, but natural phenomena are different.

That also seems even more honorable when it becomes a phenomenon for a limited period of time.

Collect the snow on the edge of the window into a small sphere. If you make another one of those and superimpose it, you're done with the little snowman.

You're adorable just to keep it in line in the window like this.

"You're not even here."

Satisfied as I lined up the snowman, I heard such a hurried whine.

Looking down, it looked like Sarah was looking for something in the courtyard.

"What's wrong, Sarah?

"Dear Alfried, No, it's... nothing."

When I spoke, Sarah looked up at me and lied plainly.

No, you obviously didn't look like nothing. There seems to be a good amount of snow in my hair and clothes, and I guess I've been out there for a long time.

Nevertheless, is it embarrassing to have Sarah say it out loud? It's going to be a lot of volume to get you to my room from the courtyard.

"Wait a minute."

I was wondering how Sarah was, so I went to the courtyard dressed in cold gear.

Of course, the fireball was left floating around to combat the cold.

"So, what's up?

"Uh, actually, I think I dropped the barn key..."

When I came to the courtyard and heard it out, Sarah honestly told me that she thought she couldn't be deluded.

"Uh, with all this snow, it's hard to find where it is."

Even though, the keys are small. If there's snow on top of it, it'll be hard to find it.

You've been looking for the snow all along. Sarah's hands were red.

That looked painful, so I'll float the fireball beside Sarah as well.

"Look, now warm your hands"

"Oh, thank you"

Sarah gratefully started warming her hands close to the fireball.

"I wish Meena and Mel could help me find it too"

"I'm sorry to have you help me just in this snow. You might catch a cold."

Surely it's hard for colleagues to look for lost things together in this cold and snow.

So Sarah was searching alone?

I'll help you.

"No, I can't ask Master Alfried to help me -"

"Yeah? You let me help you with the cleaning?

"... and apart from this"

Dare you say that mean, Sarah said that with her lips pointy.

Around telling me to turn away and mess with you, I seem aware of the contradictions.

Sarah and the others asked me to float the furniture psychically when I was cleaning.

And how is it different this time?

"It's okay because he says I want to. And with my magic, you'll soon find what you're looking for."

With that said I move more fireballs and lick them over the snow.

The snow that had accumulated at the high temperatures of the fireball instantly melted and the path from the front door to the gate appeared snugly.

If you melt the snow this way, you'll soon find the key that's buried.

…………

"In what neighborhood is it likely?

Ask Sarah, who has a stunning view of the snowless path.

"I think it's somewhere on the road from the barn to the entrance to the mansion"

"Well, I'll try to melt the snow down the road."

Melt Sarah's trail in a fireball as I glimpse it.

Occasionally, while being careful not to burn it because there are also slight leaves and grass flowers.

It seems a little fun to watch the reverse regeneration from ice to water as you melt the snow that is piling up white.

The way you repaint the ground on it seems to be expanding your territory.

Of course melted snow becomes water, but when you walk on it, dirt water jumps.

So while melting the ice, the water magic moves the soil and water towards the end.

Doing so will keep your shoes and pants spotless and prevent the road from freezing. That's two birds a stone.

"Oh, this is the key to the barn, right?

That's how I melted and proceeded with the snow piled up on the ground, and something key came out of the barn.

Apparently it had fallen over Sarah's footprints and snow had fallen over it making her invisible.

Little things like this are hard to find with limited routes.

That's it.

"Wait. It might be getting hot because of the magic, so let's cool off with a little snow."

I immediately reach out and wait for Sarah to pick it up.

This metal key may have heat because of the fireball.

If it was like a hot frying pan, it would burn if I touched the detour.

"... excuse me"

I put a psychic on the key to the universe. Plus the surrounding snow was psychic lifted and locked up the keys.

This is how we lock ourselves in the snow, an operation that takes away heat again.

Once the key has cooled, release the snow and try to touch it gently with your hands.

"Yeah, it doesn't seem to be a problem anymore"

"Thank you"

Sarah bowed her head deeply and thanked me when I handed her to make sure the key was limp.

"It's hard to find when you drop a key on a snowy day. Maybe you should put on a cloth that's easy to understand."

"Right. I'm going to make sure this doesn't happen in the future."

If it has a colorful cloth or strap, it may be easy to find when dropped in the winter.

Well, it may not make sense if you realize later that you dropped it and buried it in the snow, but the odds of being found should increase.

"By the way, how did Sarah end up in the barn?

"I left a scoop out to get rid of the snow."

I go out at a minimum, even if it's snowing. To do this, the snow around the front door needs to be removed so that it is easy to walk.

But you almost melted the snow around you to find the keys.

Maybe I took away the significance of Sarah taking Scoop out of the barn.

So I lost my keys, and I looked for them until my hands grabbed. The job was done when you finally found it with me.

I'm sure Sarah would be feeling subtle.

Ask him if he feels a little sorry.

"... uh, where else would you like it to melt?

"The roof hasn't built up so much yet, and it's not particularly. but Elinora might be pleased to do the snow removal in the courtyard"

"'Cause that's the only place I'll never get rid of snow"

Because when the snow is gone and you can move comfortably, Sister Elinora will be happy to do the audition. And it's visible that me and Brother Silvio will be taken there.

You don't have to dig your own grave at all.

Sarah laughed at my neat denial.
