Chapter 304

Turning from the main street and walking a short distance, there was another large street.

It was a little narrower than the street during the Snow Sculpture Event, but still wide enough, and there were already many ice sculptures lined up.

"Huh. This is important, isn't it?"

Meleoron let out a sound of admiration. The ice sculptures were so small that you didn't even need to compare them to the snow sculptures, but they were much more detailed. The transparency of the ice also helped and was artistic.

There were fir trees, birds with wings spread, and even a rare orca.

But... even if it didn't require as much work as before, was it easy to make?

"Are you going to participate in this?"

"That is correct."

"How much time?"

Effort or time.

"Hmm. It completely depends on what you make."

"Please don't do anything that requires too much effort."

"... Well, it will be harder to win that way, and it won't be a waste of time—"

"Do you want me to give you a full 'check'?"

"I will finish it as soon as possible."

My, my. Really, no carelessness or gaps.

"Aisha, are you worried about Uranus?"

"Hm? Um, yes."

The pure eyes of the seam were a little painful. Of course you are worried, yes...

"It's fine to participate in this, but let's take a break.

Drink something hot."

"Oh, don't say nice things.

My body is starting to get cold too, so I want a warm drink."

Yes, just like my sister said. There is no point in rushing to participate in an event without resting.

When I smiled and nodded, Uranus looked embarrassed and covered her mouth with a scarf.

"Sorry... it's like this.

This is winter sightseeing, so let's enjoy it leisurely.

There are nice shops nearby."

Not applicable. That's right, this is also sightseeing, so I must enjoy it properly.

In this Greed Island, you can easily carry what you need with cards and take it out at any time.

Cooking is one of them. There aren't that many food and drink cards, and it's not just food. Even if there are, they might be related to a certain event.

That is probably the reason. ──Even if made into a card, the state cannot be maintained.

It seems impossible to keep cold things cold and hot things hot, and the freshness of food and drinks declines over time. The PET bottles we often get are usually liquid at room temperature when we drink them.

If it is an item related to Nen Ability, it seems the state is maintained, but ordinary items do not seem to have any special properties other than becoming a card.

Therefore, if you want something warm immediately, you usually can only buy it immediately and eat or drink it immediately.... Thus, in front of the hot drink stall, we ordered a hot drink and enjoyed it to the fullest.

"Ah... so hot."

"It's nice to do this when it's cold."

Meleoron drank the hot Lemonade deliciously. The seam sipped Hot Cocoa. Both of them held their cups with both hands and sipped.

"Hmm... really?"

Nyanko was eating Corn Soup with a relaxed face, like a small animal. I wonder if I should do that too.

I chose Tsuuanshiruko. The selection at this shop is very good. Shiruko is mainly strained bean paste. The rice cake inside is also good. Sticky.

"This beauty is eating something heavy alone."

"What are you talking about? Shiruko is a drink."

"I wonder if that's a line you said when you picked up the rice cake with chopsticks..."

Uranus spat out a retort with a relaxed face. Is it too subtle for me to call myself a drink? I ate the corn with a spoon.

It usually includes more than just mochi. Taking a walk is the best.

"I thought it was in the summer town, but come on.

If I could put it on a card and carry it around, whether it's hot or cold, it would be easier."

"Yes, yes."

Sim agreed with her sister's words. The appearance of the puffed cocoa was cute.

"I am sorry, but that is impossible.

Even if it is made into a card, it will quickly become lukewarm."

Uranus said with a serious face. Meleoron tilted her head.

"Although it is a game, why is it so inconvenient?

Even though it looks like everything would be fine."

"... Sister, do you still think you are in a game?"

"What?"

It seemed to be looking at us with a serious face. Uranus and I looked at each other inadvertently.

"By the way, you two. Isn't this real?"

Hmm... I am very confident in saying that. I wonder if there is a reason to notice something.

"Why do you think that?"

"Because, Uranus, you aren't suspicious at all.

Usually, you would definitely try to figure out if this is a game or reality, right?"

Uranus looked surprised. I instinctively started spitting out oshiruko. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

"Chen, don't look at me like that...

Well, it's true, when I first arrived, I immediately started investigating."

"Listen, I knew it."

"So it's real, right?"

"... Excellently."

"Hmm. Really?

How did you know?"

Meleoron naturally asked. Uranus took a sip of Corn Soup with a thoughtful look on his face,

"That would be a long story, can we save it for later?

Talking about why items that should be combed are kept at room temperature will reduce the time we spend on the activity."

"Then let's go to the Hot Spring first.

Are you two okay?"

"Yeah, it's fine."

"By the way, what's the point of standing around with a cold face while talking?

Should I ask you this question in a hospitable way?"

The brother and sister quickly retreated, but Uranus seemed a bit reluctant.... That's right, I think I really wanted to do it at night, rather than while in the Hot Spring. After all, the time for other activities would be shortened.

Uranus might be in a hurry because he doesn't want to stay in this town for too long, but I personally like it. I don't want to be too busy. I also like the Hot Spring. Not applicable.

"Well, it's fine.

Now, we must hold a Snow Sculpture Event."

"Have you decided what to do next?"

Uranus looked back at me and said "Hmm."

"I can't decide, but... I have an idea.

The person who thinks maybe this will be fine."

Ho. After all, I want to know if there is also a review standard. You look confident.

"Do you know the judging criteria for ice sculptures?

If I can clear it quickly, that would be great."

"Hmm...

The Snow Sculpture Event ends at 12:00 PM, and the ice sculpture event ends at 1:00 PM. So we investigate together.

If there is no choice but to shorten it, this is a good choice..."

"Then you have no choice."

"... I don't mind."

Uranus said, revealing a distressed expression. Hmm, what is this? The meaning is inexplicable.

After warming up a bit, we returned to the main street where the ice sculpture event was being held.

Among the brilliant ice sculptures lined up, Uranus took another look around from a distance,

"It looks like players aren't participating."

Hmm. At least there are no other players on this street besides us. But now. Is it something of little value?

"If you win from the start, what do you get?"

To the inquiring Sim, Uranus shrugged,

"It's a weapon, but it's hard to use.

So it's a real cash item. Then, everyone, let's go get another designated Pocket Card."

I see. First, this Snowflake has other designated Pocket Cards.

"How much can you sell it for?"

"Hmm. 300,000 or 400,000.

If you grab it easily, it's profitable."

Uranus answered Meleoron's question. I see, it's just a thin line.

"Similar to the Snow Sculpture Event, there is a reception in the nearby park, and you will get ice blocks from there.

Shall we hurry and start?"

Pon and Uranus clapped their hands together.

Uranus finished the event reception and carried 1m-class ice twice. I tried to take it all at once, so I admonished him and made him split it into two. Dangerous...

Just in case, I was called "Zhou" again this time, but it's not like every situation can be handled. Please forgive my presumptuous adventure.

Two ice blocks were placed on an open space marked "p1". Sprinkle bottled water on the ice blocks, then place another ice block on top. This is a work of Stick.

Now that the ice sculpture is finished, prepare scaffolding around it. This time I just raked up the surrounding snow to make a small platform. It will be done in all directions, so it is troublesome.

Others besides Uranus are responsible for this kind of work, and he takes a break during this time. I wiped off my gloves and was thinking about something. So, have you decided on the ice sculpture?

After the scaffolding was built, Uranus stood in front of the ice.

"... Whatever you do, don't complain."

Uranus spoke from behind.... Hmm? What do you mean? Who are you talking to right now? Hmm... Am I overthinking it? I made a strange Lobo when I was doing the Snow Sculpture Event.

Uranus moved his hands, scraping the ice surface with a sound.

This time, the ice sculpture was smaller than the snow sculpture, and the speed was quite fast. Soon, the ice was molded into a shape, clearly indicating that it looked very much like a person.

"Hey, Sew..."

"... What is it, sister?"

"Atashi, that shape looks very familiar."

"Yes. I recognize it too."

Hehe, I have a good impression of both of them. I don't know... I also fell into memories.

Uranus formed it so quickly that he violently scattered ice chips, while occasionally forming a "Circle" — Meleoron said. I was very careful... there were no signs around, so being this vigilant seemed pointless.

I was watching from up close, but it was an excellent piece of work. If you wanted to, you could even become a sculptor. Perhaps it is because I take pride in the role of sculpting God.

"──……"

The ice sculpture was almost finished. I felt frustrated and pained about whether I should destroy it.

"Calm down, Aisha."

"Aisha, take a deep breath, take a deep breath."

"……"

The siblings calmed me down as if protecting the ice sculpture. The reason Uranus was sweating profusely was not just because of the strenuous exercise.

"Phew...

Done! It's okay!!"

Uranus shouted. I was just thinking about destroying it, but my siblings desperately stopped me.

As I did so, the judges ran over.

"Then let us review p1 again."

The judges held clipboards in one hand, staring intently at the ice sculpture, writing crisply.

"Woooo...!"

Although I knew I was pretending, because of the embarrassment and anger of being judged, I couldn't help but make a sound. Uranus never wanted to be looked at like this.

Circle...

────Don't make an ice sculpture of me!!

"We have just finished the p1 review.

We will announce the winner of this competition after 1:00 PM, so please go to this main street."

The judges hurried away.

"... Well, it's fine. Even if I had already destroyed it."

"Ah. Aisha, it's okay. It's fine even if you just leave it like this."

"No good."

"It's done so well, it would be a waste to break it, let's decorate it."

"... It will melt anyway.

Right? Uranus."

Uranus looked at the ice sculpture,

"No.

Don't you think it looks just like that?"

"That's right. It looks like Aisha."

"Real beauties are amazing. If you use them as models for ice sculptures, you will understand anew.

Breaking something like this is outrageous!"

…………

How are you? Yes.

My life-sized ice sculpture in sportswear, not now.... I couldn't have done it without observing carefully. Especially my chest! I wonder if it's exactly the same! You must know the three sizes, damn it!

I understand, this is why I often use "Yen"!!

"Even so, it is ice, so it is something Transparent and erotic."

──Sorry!!

Hearing Meleoron's words, I squatted down and covered my face. Wow, it's gone!

"This is amazingly similar.

Aisha's hairstyle looks perfect."

"Right?

The long hair is the same, but this stupid hair is troublesome."

Yes? What is an ahoge?

"Is this stupid hair? This guy is jumping off his head."

"That's right. It wouldn't look like Aisha without this."

"Why do you say stupid hair? Because you look stupid?"

"No...

It's called stupid hair because no matter how you set it, it won't listen.

I don't know if it's stupid."

... Ugh. Isn't the hair you inherited from your mother self-deception? Should I really be angry?

Slowly standing up. I quietly walked to the ice sculpture maker. Seeming to have left in a hurry, Uranus was twitching desperately.

I smiled.

"Uranus."

When I gently patted her shoulder, Niyanko trembled. Huhu, do you have a cold?
