Chapter 330

Sell unnecessary cards at the Trade Shop in Masadora, withdraw the necessary amount, and return to Snowflake via "Accompaniment".

Suddenly, a cold Wind blew, accompanied by snow.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!?"

Bell gripped his arms and stomped his legs.

"That's why I told you to dress more warmly."

"Alright, I don't have time—uh, sab-sab!

... So that's why you are all fully armed."

Bell, who was retorting to Maotarik, looked at us with envy.

"Hmm, you were climbing the Snow Mountain just now, right?

Decided to harden it firmly."

"Even for us who are used to this town, coming from a warm place is still very cold.

Seams. When we took out our mufflers, we gave you two warm pads."

"Do you understand!

... Sister, do you have a Kairo?"

"Get it."

Meleoron has been cold for a while now. He has grown up, and even more so.

We went to a Salmon Hot Pot restaurant with the couple who were walking in the snow without shoes. Therefore, the movement speed was slow.

"Samuu. It's hard to walk."

"I understand, that's right.

Enjoy the winter cold. Otherwise, the hot pot and Hot Spring would be useless."

"I know, but—"

Ging was dealing with Bell's complaints on the road. I followed a little behind him, listening to the exchange with a wry smile.

"Hmm...

Sorry, I've been making a fuss.

Noisy and annoying?"

"Ahahaha. No, no."

Motarike, walking beside me, apologized in a low voice. It wasn't that this person was bad; the one who should apologize was Ging, not me.

"How is Motarike?

I think you were forcibly taken away, but didn't you suddenly get into trouble?"

"Oh... so that's how it is.

Leaving tomorrow, I was suddenly told that they would join us tonight.

Well, it's just the usual trouble. His whim.

Correct. I think this person is usually swayed left and right.

... Don't worry. Do you want to try it?"

So as not to be heard by Bell, I whispered:

"If....

If, right? If Bell said he wanted to return to reality, what would you do?"

Maotarik looked deep into my eyes and continued to look at Bell's back.

Along the way, he was thoughtful and remained silent.

Getting tighter and tighter...

This. The fragrance and sound coming from the gap in the gently shaking lid. You don't have to whet your appetite.

Ging was already gone. He seemed to be on a date with a couple ordering in the next Tatami Room and was talking about all sorts of things. He said he would be back when it was time to eat.

"I'm hungry."

"In the Snow Mountain, my body was cold to the bone.

Just like... waiting for the hot pot, you can really feel yourself being healed."

"Huhu. Thank you for your hard work today.

Due to Ging's physical condition tomorrow, I will suspend Training.

Please take a deep breath."

"... Seriously?"

"Seriously."

"Uh—

Ahhhhh! I wonder if there is Training tomorrow!

Doreas has no fighting or practice, right!?"

"Let me see...

It's a vague memory, but I'm sure there was something similar...

But even if I try, I will accept all of it."

"Me too? What about Ging?"

"You and Ging. Please rest.

Rather than saying tomorrow is a rest day, it's more like going out to play, so please enjoy it to the extent that you don't feel tired the next day."

"Aren't you tired, Aisha?"

"No need to worry.

I am not tired, but I have much more energy than you two."

It was clear that the two of them were suddenly excited.... Rest is important.

"Have you talked to Uranus about this?"

"Uh... not specifically.

So I will talk to you about it later."

"Please let me get some good rest, it really is very exhausting."

"Of course."

Well, if I fight, I would definitely put pressure on Uranus's halo.... In that case, it is better if I don't participate in the combat activities.

The presence next door crossed the hallway and approached this Tatami Room. The door opened, and Uranus came in.

"Are you two making a fuss about nothing?... Why are you two so happy?"

Uranus looked at the siblings and made a strange face. It was easy to tell at a glance that they were happy.

Bubble bubble...

"—Ah, I see.

There are of course cards for participating in the Arena, but I won't be fighting tomorrow.

I had intended to get them.

Those two scolded me to take a rest, so I felt that if it wouldn't work, I would just give up."

"I was angry too?"

"... I'm sorry."

"Hmm, alright then.

You can enjoy gambling tomorrow."

"Yeah. Although there is no strategy, it is basically fine. Thinking about it the hard way isn't fun, is it?

Most cards can only be obtained if you spend the time."

"The Rainbow Diamond is always spinning in the slot."

"As long as you have the military funds, anyone can do it."

"This is my first time gambling at a shop!"

"Don't get addicted.

There are many people who have ruined themselves through gambling."

Meleoron nodded. I don't think this is really good for education, but it is in the game. It is hard to say.

…………Irritating.

"By the way, is that pot of magistrate still like this?"

"Ah, I think it's enough."

When Uranus popped open the pot lid, the fragrance of boiled Miso wafted over. Ahhh...

"As expected, not bad..."

"Yeah, that smell is strong, right?"

"Don't you smell a bit of alcohol?"

"Yes, the Sake Lees aroma is surrounding the Sake Lees, Miso, and milk.

I ate it yesterday, you know, but that mellow flavor will warm your body."

"It feels like a hot pot."

Yes. Eating something like this as a reward for hard work on the Snow Mountain... it feels luxurious, doesn't it? Winter hot pot is the best!

"Let's eat quickly."

"Oh!!"

Making a large portion of White Rice into Oyakodon, then stuffing it into my mouth. Oh, so good. With this, I want to drink as much as I want.

"Mommy mommy...

Come to think of it, Uranus, how is your neighbor?"

"Ah, yes.

I really like this pot. I'm glad you came."

"Huhu. Well, I understand.

Having a hot pot in winter makes one feel comfortable."

"Hmm, it's worth the effort."

"I'm going to add garland chrysanthemum and Chinese cabbage."

"Good. You can put in more."

"Big sister, add mushrooms too."

"Yes, yes.

Ah, have a drink."

"You can't. I told the two people next door, they get drunk and don't know what to do.

We are going to the Hot Spring later, don't drink alcohol yet."

"... Is Ato okay?"

"If it's just a Beer before bed. That's what my neighbor said."

Sake in the pot? I know how you feel. But please don't do that this time. Walking on the snowy road at night is still very dangerous.

"Yes, hmm."

"Ah."

"Ah."

"Hey, Omara... stop talking.

What do you take me for?"

"What kind of cool are you acting, with that sissy habit?"

"A little!?"

"It's fine, open your mouth quickly before it cools down."

"Uh... why am I angry at you?"

"Alright!"

"... Hmm."

After the group feeding festival porridge on Uranus made us laugh today, we also finished dinner with Salmon Ice Cream. Seriously, the salmon in this town is great. I want to come eat it again.

It seems the couple added an order without hesitation, and when the bill exceeded fifty thousand, Uranus looked at the checkout counter three times, and while soothing him, left the shop.

Walking on the snow-covered road, Uranus lowered his head,

"Seriously..."

"Haha, sorry.

I don't drink, so my chopsticks are the opposite."

"Sorry, I can't take it anymore, I asked too much the moment I thought about it not being worth the money.

I don't know how long it has been since I ate such delicious food..."

Seeing Motarike-dono exhale white breath with a distant look in his eyes, tears welled up in my eyes again. Well, if you don't capture the game and defeat monsters, you can't afford it...

"... Hmm, it's good to be able to enjoy luxury.

It's worth it."

"It's really delicious, isn't it, Uranus?

"The porridge and such."

"Both of you are a bit disappointed."

"I think they are all delicious, but is the porridge that good?

Or what have you been doing all this time?"

Since Bell-san was biting, Uranus hurriedly waved his hands,

"No, no, no, it's nothing!"

"... Oh yeah.

By the way, where is the most important accommodation?

A Mixed Bath Hot Spring? A pension ○nurup?"

"Nonsense. It's called ku*rup. I've heard of it somewhere.

I don't want to go to a place with a Mixed Bath because there is a high possibility of contact with other players during a Specified Pocket Card event.

I won't stop you from staying the night with us, but we have already booked another Inn, so I won't even guarantee your safety.

If my card is stolen because of this, I will have to pay the price for it."

"Uh..."

"If you want to soak in a hot spring safely, just go to a normal place."

"Isn't a normal hot spring Inn enough?

Far from safe, they even gave me money."

Even though Yuan Chi-san said so, Bell-san still shook his head reluctantly,

"I was looking forward to a Mixed Bath.

Only you guys are cheating."

"... I don't know what you mean by unfair, but if you want to bathe together like this, then let's go to the men's bath or women's bath together.

It doesn't matter if there are no other customers."

Bell-san rolled his eyes and clapped his hands.

"Oh, so that's how it is. You are very warm.

Dressed like that, your thoughts are free."

"You..."

Ah. Even hurting me through Uranus.... Isn't this a normal thought?

"Heehee. How often do you look for this place?"

This was Bell-san's impression after seeing the hot spring Inn "Jiangdong no Yu" for the first time. Yuan Chi-san also looked at the exterior of the Inn with a complex expression.

"Since you said normal, I thought it would be like a spa, but isn't it quite good here?"

"... I think it costs thirty thousand for a two-person room for two days and one night.

We are staying in a four-person room, so it's 56,000."

"Is it really okay?"

"... I have nothing more to say.

In exchange, please cooperate well tomorrow."

"If you understand,

the cards and earnings obtained will all be yours."

You're in a good mood, Bell.... I wonder if I was too generous.

By the time I finally returned to my room and took a deep breath, it was already past 7:00.

"Hmm, what do you plan to do after this?"

Meleoron was crushed under the Kotatsu at the same time. I didn't want to do this at all.

Uranus was drinking tea wearily,

"I have many things to do, such as organizing cards, matters regarding tomorrow, and persuading them."

Meleoron is just going to take a bath, "rub," and then sleep, right?

"If you have free time, you can play games."

"Sakura"

"Wait, Seam. Let me think."

You are also very heartless."

"Ah... I understand. Uranus must be very tired."

"Yes...

I want to release it, but there is no postponement today.

Sure enough, if the consumption exceeds this amount, safety cannot be guaranteed."

"... Don't go too far, shouldn't you stop today?"

"Aisha...

Even if you say that, it's not very convincing, is it?"

Ingredients.... Because I also want to disguise myself as Sakura.

"Well, before the cherry blossoms bloom, perhaps we should soak in the Hot Spring for a while."

"Speaking of which, when will those two come in?

I must avoid bumping into them..."

"Oh, of course. I will ask you one thing."

Uranus came out from under the Kotatsu and left the room. It was a four-person room and a two-person room, so it was a bit far away, as it was impossible to be next door. If it were right next door, I wouldn't be able to let my guard down.

About 5 minutes later, Uranus will return.

"You can go in first.

Because we will rest first."

"Then shall we go in immediately?"

"Oh"

Sitting in the Kotatsu, the siblings agreed quietly.

"Somehow, it feels strange for only us to go in."

"Ahaha..."

When Meleoron called me in the changing room, I couldn't deny it and replied with a dry laugh. Habit is a scary thing. Not long ago, I couldn't do this.

"Do you want to come in with Seam?"

When asked half-jokingly, Meleoron grinned,

"I will repay your words with a ribbon."

............ What does that mean

The Hot Spring here is also a bit small, but it is a similar Open-air Bath, which is comfortable, but it is indeed a bit unsatisfactory. There isn't even a trace of snow scenery.

"Ah... healed"

In the bathtub, Meleoron lazily stretched out his limbs. I am happy. I am sure you must have felt extremely cold in the Snow Mountain, I agree.

"For some reason, it's good to just relax."

"Brilliantly.

We have fun Together, but I will take care of you. I talk too much."

Yes. I figured it out last night...

"It seems that Uranus is also accumulating fatigue, which might be a good thing."

"Yes.

... That child works too hard."

After nodding silently, I surrendered my emotions to the warmth of the bathtub.

After a comfortable soak in the Hot Spring, I bought a new Bath Towel in the changing room and wiped my hair.

"...? Meleoron?"

There was no sign of him. The moment I realized this, I felt a peck in my chest.

"What!? Hey, Meleoron!!"

A pervert who appeared in front of you at the same time as the feeling. Raising both hands, with a silly face sticking out his Tongue,

"Puyonpuyon, gocchi I was too careless"

Ahhh, it's really annoying!! Being mocked from the bottom of his heart annoyed me more than being moved.

"You told me to stop over and over again!

Hmm!"

"Fufu, you can't afford it.

... It seems you are tired too, get some good rest."

Said with satisfaction and kindness. I am sure I let my guard down, but this still happened? Damn it... I could notice that the signs had disappeared, but I didn't know where they came from. Just when I was vigilant in the front, there was a time when my butt was rubbed from behind...

I want to know if I should incorporate it into my Training. I probably only have this one month of opportunity for Cultivation, and I might not be able to stop this kind of invisibility with a Boss Attribute in the future. If you can react reflexively when something you cannot see touches you—

"Hm? Could it be that you are actually angry?

You look a bit scary."

"Ah, no.

... Well, it's not that I'm not angry, I just don't know if Meleoron's ability can be used for my Training."

"Hehe. 【Perfect Plan】. Do you want to train together with the other party?

You could come up with something great."

"Is it not good?"

"Hmm...

That is a very easy question to answer, isn't it? Let me think about it."

"Yes, please.

It's not that I'm in a rush, but if I am resurrected, it won't work, so before that..."

"Hm, noted.

... Hm? But if that's the case, wouldn't there be no need for Training?

It won't work anyway, so don't be too careful."

"No, it's not like that. Don't misunderstand me.

It's not that I have my guard up against you, and this ability can't always block things either, so I was wondering if it could be touched—"

"Ah, yes, I understand.

Alright, I haven't accepted it yet, but I know the reason.

Seriously, you are also full of passion for Training."

I felt embarrassed and turned my head away from the wryly smiling Meleoron.

... Yes, what is the problem with that? Hang.
