Chapter 117

“How did you feel then?”

“How do you feel… … ?”

“Well, thinking of the people who would be happy made my heart jump, or this much was a piece of cake for me. Wouldn’t there be something like that?”

Shale said, raising her monocle. It seems like we’ve talked for about an hour, but there are already five sheets of paper with dense writing on the desk.

“I just thought, well, I’m glad I was able to help people.”

Because it was planned to be a description that will be left to future generations.

I was helping Shale write the story while drinking tea served by a servant.

“good. In this faraway land, neither origin nor status are useless, so only the faces of the people who suffered on the white snow were good to the eye… … .”

“No, is that right?”

“Originally, this is how history is written. The late King Turunchei was also known as a fearless warrior, but in fact he always slept squatting like a chrysalis on the eve of a campaign.”

“Oh my gosh.”

“Oops, this is a secret.”

can you say that?

In any case, Shale’s hand moved very quickly, and within a short period of time, he even filled one sheet.

Even without mentioning Brea, it would probably be a record full of rhetoric. Since ancient times, Mashu’s records had such a strong feeling, so I think it must have been a tradition.

Thus, after 28 days, he returned home in gold, and all the people shouted hurrah while walking on the hill of the warrior.

Actually, I arrived late in the evening and the streets were empty, anyway.

Technology has come to an end like that.

“It’s a princess achievement anyway, so can I describe myself that way?”

“of course. I don’t know if there were several separate investigation teams, but if it’s just the two of us, it means that the princess who chose such a case has a high discernment.”

“I’m building a bridge with the empire.”

“ha ha ha! Yes, if you mean it, that’s right. After all, won’t Kyung become a great person in the future? Writers of the day will be paying attention.”

It was a great welcome even for me to see Rongurt getting closer to Mash. It will be a little far in the future to see the effect of this record.

“Shale, are you done yet?”

At that time, Euril stuck her head out of the open door of the drawing room.

The fine silver hair, which was no longer tucked inside the scarf, flowed naturally.

“It just ended.”

“Can I take Rocks?”

“You say so, Sir. Thank you for your cooperation.”

“Shinjonggwan-nim also had a hard time.”

I got up and left the drawing room while Shale was filing the papers. Euril, who had been waiting for me, pulled me by the collar right away.

“You only have one hour left.”

“Yes.”

The horse-drawn carriage reserved is scheduled to depart at noon. I couldn’t delay too long, since I hadn’t finished my work yet. It was because of that that I started early.

Nothing particularly changed, Euril wanted to touch her hair as she did every day.

“Can this really be enough?”

“There is no ambulance here.”

“It is.”

It wouldn’t have known if he had worn several layers of thick clothes like in Baekok, but now that he’s back in his normal clothes, his hair is the limit.

As it’s become a matter of course now, I flip my hair to one side and flip it over, and do this for an entire hour.

There was nothing I couldn’t do.

“Just one more day and go.”

“If I had one more day, wouldn’t I want to stay for two more days?”

“Then until school starts.”

“You are greedy too. I have a lot of work to do when I go back.”

Not exactly going back.

I’m thinking of crossing the permafrost and going to the Northern Neutral Zone. There is still more than a month left until school starts.

“I thought you said you wouldn’t run away.”

Seeing him speak with a smile on his face makes me feel a little relieved. I said, still looking at the doll Euril was wearing by her side.

“I don’t think I will be able to use that doll anytime soon.”

The doll that Euril was hugging became strange as its cute face drooped to the side.

How long had I been holding it, how could it have been fixed in a flat shape?

“I’ll send you a new one later.”

“Even if it explodes, this is good.”

“It’s a bit scary because it’s about to explode.”

“it’s okay. I can sew it.”

“Well, dolls are expensive too.”

90,000 G is enough money to eat dozens of times at Jinridang. I seem to be spending too much these days. You don’t know when you’ll be using it, so you should save money as much as possible.

“The letter… … .”

“yes?”

“I will send it whenever I want to see it. You don’t have to reply.”

Euril hesitated.

“no? You have to do what you receive.”

“It must be annoying.”

“Even though I’m busy, I don’t have that much time left. There is no big difference between speaking or writing.”

After the new students come in, a lot of fun things happen on campus during the semester.

If you want to write, you don’t even have to think about it, and in 10 minutes you can fill a full page.

“Maybe every day.”

“Well.”

It might be a little busy every day.

He said he would send it whenever he wanted to see it.

“Then I use it regularly before bed, well. instead of a diary.”

Euril was silent for a long time.

With her eyes closed, she wondered if she had fallen asleep, but her fingers holding the doll were twitching busily.

Soon the mouth opened.

“… … Answer, I didn’t hear you properly.”

“What answer?”

“If you look around, you might think that maybe you just like my hair.”

Aha.

I never said it for sure, so I guess I didn’t like it.

“I can’t speak properly because I can’t take responsibility. He’s a pure bad guy.”

“Do it anyway.”

“Euril asked me to do it. Don’t talk about it later.”

Euril stood up and nodded with a determined expression.

Even now, I don’t know how to set the mood at a time like this. Just say it while looking straight into the eyes.

“I like Auril.”

“… … yes.”

all right

i’m the bad guy

As if that was a satisfactory answer, Auril collapsed onto the bed again.

“I will go now.”

An hour passed.

I put Auril’s hair down and got up.

Euril’s face won’t be saved unless he personally sees off nobles from other countries, so I’m the only one leaving the castle.

“I’ll send you just enough to not bother you.”

“You can send as much as you want. If there’s nothing special, I’ll be sure to reply.”

Still, Euril, who came up to the stairs, nodded silently and waved her hand.

There was nothing grandiose about it, and if you thought you were coming back during vacation, you wouldn’t see her for half a year at most.

I bowed to Kelzian one last time and backed off.

coo goo.

The soldiers lowered their heads, and the castle gate closed with a powerful sound.

That’s how the work in Mashu was all over. Even safely.

“Whoa.”

Scared to catch my breath.

Now, that’s another issue.

It is not easy to look back because I am carrying a heavy backpack.

Still, he told me to tell him what I needed, so I brought him the thick clothes he had worn when heading to Baekok.

Of course, this was also incredibly expensive and difficult to find even in Mash.

“Please go to Cotton from now on.”

“Yes… … ? Isn’t that Rongrut?”

“I will pay the money as it is.”

“I’m fine.”

When the castle was no longer in sight, I told the driver to turn northwest to Cotton.

It was much closer to Cotton for the same money, so it was a business where the driver had nothing to lose.

I took out the lantern from my bosom.

‘It’s gotten darker.’

In the meadow there was a whitish light, but now the color has deepened to gray.

If you think of Auril and Brea, the color gets darker as you get closer.

Because I’m black, maybe I’m black? If that’s the case, it means that the distance to the black fairy is closer than when they were in the meadow.

Since the light of the lantern can be confirmed from the fairy side on the other side, it is highly likely that the black fairy also came down to the barrier from the far north in search of me… … .

than that

“Isn’t it a bit hot?”

“Uh, it’s going to get colder since we’re going north. Since it is midwinter, it must still be close to freezing.”

“I’m sweating.”

“Ah, then I’ll adjust the radiator a bit.”

I wasn’t even wearing that thick now, but I was sweating. It seems that the body has acclimated to the cold.

Only then will it be difficult to spend summer in Rongrte. In the summer, I should practice magic in Mash.

* * *

“snowstorm? It stopped two days ago.”

“okay?”

“That’s why everyone is so noisy. It is time to leave.”

In the vicinity of Cotton, as before, there was a village of hunters.

The size of the village here was quite large as it was close to the big city. There were more than 100 private houses visible, and there was even a separate market.

Unlike white jade, permafrost in the northern part of Cotton has snowstorms on a monthly basis. The timing was just right.

“It’s the first time I’ve seen this face, but I guess you’re a newbie in this business? The face looks like an imperial aristocrat.”

“If you’re new… … yes, what.”

“Tsk tsk, what’s wrong with a young guy walking in with eyes that can’t even leave a single footprint? If money is so poor, I’d rather take a boat.”

“Ahaha, I’m a northerner, so I’m strong against the cold.”

The old man with a white mustache shook his head.

“I’m not saying this out of pride, but this floor is like that now. It is said that the space to step on is getting narrower, but people are walking. It’s a herb, it’s a game, and there’s no guilt left.”

“Oh, haven’t you heard the news?”

“Yes? It’s news.”

News had already been heard in Cotton, but it seemed that word had not yet spread in this village where the hunting cycle had not yet begun.

“The princess solved the cause of the frozen river. The Pigtail River has increased its flow now. The ground has started to thaw, so there’s already an uproar.”

“What, what! Then this one too?”

“Yes. Since it is a tributary, it will melt quickly, right?”

“Huh, like that! I heard that the days are a bit warm these days!”

While the old man nodded and murmured, voices were heard from nearby tables.

“Wait, is everything you just said true?”

“Was everything true about what the braggart Huckle came back yesterday?”

“The river is melting?”

“I need to pack more of this!”

Since I was talking in a rather loud voice at the bar, the story spread in waves. Of course I came to drink warm milk, not alcohol.

The atmosphere brightened in an instant. It was natural. After the permafrost melts, everything that remains there is like treasure to them.

“Then you must have heard the news.”

“I am not a novice at all. I grew up in Aindaroch.”

“Ohh, Aindarlock would be perfect. Growing up guys are similar. But it’s much colder here, so you’ll have a hard time.”

“That is worrying. But I don’t know how to use magic, so I’ll try my best.”

“What, magic… … ?”

Compared to just before, the old man’s voice had subsided. I also lowered my voice. why?

“Can’t you be a wizard?”

“No, it’s not okay.”

The old man looked left and right intently.

The atmosphere was buzzing with anticipation for this hunting cycle. The fact that I’m a wizard doesn’t seem to have leaked out.

The old man cleared his throat a few times before continuing.

“Hmmmm, I’ve been in this blind snow for quite some time.”

“You see.”

“Even though Aindar Locke and the guy growing up are similar, things are different for those who are particularly precious. You must have eyes to see.”

“I guess so.”

“How dangerous would it be if the rookies went the wrong way? right?”

“Is that right?”

The old man looked at me once more and spoke cautiously.

“Do you think you will learn once, and will you follow me on this hunting cycle? If you’re a wizard, you can get hundreds of thousands of G’s without being ridiculous.”

It looks like things will work out this time too.
