It was stained much earlier in the evening outside.

It is the same in this world (Titi) that the sun sets fast when winter approaches.

How far could the ergonotes have gotten after noon when they lined up and left with horses? I think it's about time we got to the northern lodging town.

"Mr. Grey, when is Brother Io Yi or Mr. Manu coming back -?

"Right, three days to go, three days locally, three days back. Well... how many days is it all?

…… Three days... is it Mitsuzu? Hmm? "

Pram went over the limits of his brain there, or he thought with his neck twisted.

Phew, this means I'll be annoyed with reading for a while. Because if you don't replenish the Sage Energy you've lost at Metanostadt's party like this, it's gonna be me.

Your buddy's on a journey, and you're reading? You may think so, but we're in the middle of synthesizing the catalyst in the mansion's lab. There will be no bees after a short break between precipitation and the "filtration" process (process).

While Hemperoza looked stunned, he brought paper and a pen and started teaching Plum something.

"Look, the idea that there are three is a good idea..."

"Hmm?

Even though they attend the same school building, the two academics are about as open as heaven and earth. Plum is growing up, but he's a little dumb compared to a kid the same age.

In contrast, I think Hemperoza is a fairly smart category to say that it is above average. Perhaps it is due to a kind of cheaty state of being a child while retaining some experience and wisdom from previous life.

Only a few past life experiences and memories will be due to the ancient magical power of rewinding body time in order to redo life and encourage reflection, as is still expressed in the word "reduction" rather than complete reincarnation.

Previously, Hemperoza covered the world with darkness again, but he said something a little painful, but recently he barely spoke.

It seemed that the memory of "my previous life" was gradually fading, not just because I was being looked after in my hall.

Well, now that the shocking special ability of Ergonote's sword to reset and start over, whatever the identity of the brunette girl (Hemperoza) is revealed, there is no trick whatsoever. If only you were a good friend of Plum's.

"Done! Greg, it's the 9th, right?

"Oh, you're right. Well, I'm sure you'll be home a little sooner, but this mansion needs winter support by then, too."

"To? What do you mean by" winter "?

"That's..."

Winter comes, albeit briefly, to Metanostadt. On this continent, where there are four seasons, there is a custom to celebrate as "the season in which God creates and changes the world" while it is old and snowy.

Summer, which was overflowing with vitality, passes, and when the harvest autumn ends, white snow eventually descends from heaven to envelop the world. Beneath the ground comes a miraculous moment when dead and rotten leaves are reborn and spring sprouts.

And people think of it as God's work to offer and celebrate prayers. The native natural faith turned, like Christmas and New Year together in the world where I was.

"Huh? So you eat something delicious and stay soggy!?

"It sounds like fun -!

Plum and Hempero laugh face-to-face. Oh, that sounds fun. Plum is about two months old, and Hemperoza, too, would be something similar.

Nevertheless, having traveled all the time, we never spent New Year's Eve slowly either. Looking at the snow that hives and falls in some inn, it crosses the ages while grabbing dried meat and cold, hard bread.

So I hope we can get over the years slowly at the Mansion this year, so...

Of course, we can proceed with the synthesis of Pram's "fundamental cure," but that's not why we're going all day. Because it's important not to rush it and make sure it piles up.

"Are you going shopping?

"Oh right. It's too late today, but we should go to Wangdu tomorrow."

"To! I've never seen Methanostat under a castle before!

"Pram was taken once. Okay? Big, lots of shops..., it's fun to see the city and walk -"

Hemperoza is also intrigued by the words of Plum, who speaks with his eyes shining.

If you're going to the city, you'll have to buy winter accessories for food... and winter clothes and shoes for Pram and Hempero, for example.

Hmm. That's hard to think about.

- That's right. Do you have time to stop by the library?

After that, the writing of the new Princess Metius interrupted perfectly. I was looking forward to the princess's maiden poem, which seemed to be the only one that ran away like a dreaming girl...

Is something wrong?

And - my right hand silver ring has been transmitting signals.

It was Lentomia's regular contact.

"Have you thought about someone else's tip?

Gik! What is the sharpness of this survey...? Speaking of which, you've been in the library talking to Princess Methius before, and you've been contacting me to come home, haven't you?

No way. This ring, it spills thoughts in both directions? It can also be assumed that Lentomia set up a back door procedure (back door), but we can't go that far at all...

"RE...... Lentomia, how's it going over there?

'Yeah, small town, uh... I got to Apahorte. It's a small room for everyone. "

"Oh, that sounds like fun..."

Haha, and I can even hear the sound of a bell.

"And I've set up a talisman every five kilometers. We're interrupting a massive magic detection network (Magic Grid sensor) and extending communications, so this is how we get our voices across, right?

"Oh, it's a boulder Lentomia"

"Eh heh, thanks"

"Let me know if anything happens to you."

"I'll be in touch if there's nothing."

"Don't use it for nothing..."

'It's not useless to say good night, is it?

"... tart"

Unexpectedly leaks a grin.

We're finally making ultra-range calls using a big trick, but Iola and Riola's "Mark of Bravery" and "Drop of Mercy" are using only two jeweled necklaces to make similar brain calls.

Those two pairs of pendants in the first place are relics of the ancient magical civilization obtained on previous adventures, but I guess they incorporate a small but fairly advanced surgical formula.

"Sage!

After a light knock, Gachari and my study door opened and Riola glanced at me.

After her breakup, Riola grabbed the pendant on her chest from time to time, and it was the wind closing her eyes and talking about something. At the end of the day, does it even look like we're chatting more than when we're alone in this mansion?

Well, sometimes it will be necessary to bump into each other's opinions and distance ourselves a little. That, in turn, strengthens the bond between the two of us... so this is actually a book of some kind.

I don't have that experience, but I'm sure I do. No, I hope so.

"Oh, Riola, is it time for dinner? I'll help."

I stood up.

And Riola just ran over and gave me all the notes.

"... what?

"Uh, I've put together something that I think I'll need before winter. Hopefully we'll be ready before everyone gets back...... Can you look at that?

Seen, there were letters lined with ten bags of flour, one bag of salt, one bag of sugar, one mound of dried meat, solid oils and fats, various types of dried fruits, potatoes, carrots… many ingredients with good preservation, and soap, and other daily items -.

"Did Riola think of this for me?!?

"... Oh, you know, I'm sorry. I like to think about it, so..."

You frightened to my surprise, Riola, who can swim chestnut eyes everywhere.

"No, you're not, you're amazing! It helps, because I'm totally like this... it really helps that Riola thinks"

"Sage..."

Riola is adorable with a much brighter grin as she relieves herself.

I'm solid, and I guess I'll be a good daughter-in-law...... I don't know. It does scare me if I piss you off, but when it comes to my skills of "running a life," it's best to look around at the members who live in the mansion, and I can count on them.

I feel reminded once again that fighting demons is not the only meaning of living.

I inadvertently stop my hand for a moment trying to stroke Riola's head, but I stroke Riola's head with the momentum intact.

Fluffy and soft Riola's hair is also a good touch, but I regret that she may be a little reluctant after lightly touching Lady's head.

But Riola had no angry look or reluctant wind, and she was happy to loosen her expression like a child.

"Oh, I was just talking to the Plums about going shopping tomorrow."

"Is it in the city? I want to go too!

If you look at it, Riola is wearing light summer clothes. No matter how sturdy the fighting daughter is, it will be cold in the coming season.

"Right, I'll have to put some clothes and shoes on Riola too..."

"Oh no...! Me, but... such a wise man"

Riola smiled vaguely as troubled. You wouldn't want me to buy it unilaterally, like I did in the old armor. Hmm. Okay,

"Right...... would Riola please pick out some Pram and Hempero clothes? And maybe... underwear. What do you say we buy Riola's clothes as a thank you for that?

"Don't worry, if you can get my sister Rio to choose!

"And the pram! Rio, I want my sister to choose -!

"And so what?

"Ha! Happy!

Riola nods with a convincing face. Honestly, she's cute.

I guess I'm the smart guy on the boulder picking out women's underwear.

Speaking of women, I have Faria and Manuferno, but Faria focuses on defense (?) So I choose underwear, and Manuferno usually wears purple laminated string pants or something!? and flatten out the choices that make me want to twitch.

So it's really helpful to have Riola, the common sense guy.

"Hey, even though the sage hissed that he was going to put some erotic clothes on me and the others!

"You..."

Hemperoza suddenly wrapped her arms around me, sighing with a smiley face, attracting my ears.

"By the way, sage... actually... consult... no, I need to show you something."

…… Tell me what?

Whisper with a serious face as if you had decided to do something. Another mastery? And I'm surprised, but I'm serious about Hemperoza.

Brown-skinned dark elf quarter girl's, obsidian eyes staring at me.

"I can't do it here right now. Tonight... after Pram goes to bed, can I come to this room...?

It must be a story whispered like that in my ear, so exciting, but not even Loc anyway.

"Oh...... well. May I?"

But what the hell are you talking about?

As I leaned my neck, I began to help prepare dinner alongside Riola in an apron.
