Chapter 111

By the time the dawn rushed in, I had already repacked my things, including my sleeping bag.

Euril’s eyes were wide open as if she was tired, while I checked the weather outside.

“I see clouds… … .”

Clouds can be seen gathering over the distant northern mountains.

Just blocking the sunlight can lower the temperature considerably, but clouds that are wide and large enough to cover the entire sky bring more danger.

It’s an event with a high probability of happening, and of course I’m preparing for it. I can’t help it that my heart is tight.

“Let’s leave immediately.”

I moved some of the luggage from Euril’s backpack into my backpack and tied it up.

“I can do it.”

“I think we should go a little faster.”

He put on his backpack, tied a rope, and climbed up the pit to pull Auril. It was also good to eat ramen right away.

“We have to get there while the sun is up.”

“Until there… … ?”

Under the very rock Heather first spoke of. If you confirm that the clouds are gathering, you should head straight to a place where there is no snow.

“Even if it’s hard, persevere.”

“Yes.”

Only then did Euril come to his senses and increase his walking speed.

Since it is tied by a rope, if I increase the speed, Euril has no choice but to adjust to it.

Also, in fact, I don’t know what will happen even if I get there.

First of all, the main character is almost half dead and comes back to life.

“School, school… … .”

Less than an hour later, the sound of struggling breathing was heard from behind.

Although the marked Auril’s physical strength is level 4, it is actually less than level 2 because she always consumes her physical strength to control her body temperature.

Should I stop then?

‘… … It’s the worst.’

impossible.

The clouds, which seemed to be peeking out at the tip, continued to cross over the mountain and approached in this direction.

The gloomy gray light seems to hint at my bleak future.

gray clouds that never end.

It means the worst weather condition. Perhaps within a few hours, this serene snowy mountain will turn into a true white jade… … .

Just cut it to say.

I have never cleared the tenth episode after seeing the gray cloud.

“Euril.”

“yes. it’s okay. yet.”

As I was going forward, the rope caught on my waist caught me and I turned around.

Did he read something from my anxious expression? Euril held her breath and pretended to be normal.

I didn’t have much time to think. I approached Euril.

“Put that down.”

“backpack… … ?”

Euril hesitantly put down her backpack. Judgment must be quick.

“Tell me honestly. Is it the limit?”

It’s the same just by looking at the shoulders going up and down. Auril reluctantly nodded.

“If you stop now, I’ll die, even if you don’t know Auril.”

I tossed the heaviest sleeping bag and all useless clutter out of my rucksack.

It is I, not Auril, who freezes to death in a blizzard. Euril will be fine.

“sorry… … .”

“That bastard said he was sorry. sleep.”

I got down on one knee and held out my arm. It was clear what he meant.

“I’ll hug you without a hug.”

I have a backpack on my back, so the only way to hold it forward is to hold it. I ended up hugging the princess to the princess.

“Oops!”

Euril was not much taller than me, was a year older, ate well and grew up well.

It wasn’t very light.

“What, is it heavy?”

“Of course it’s a joke.”

After gritting my teeth and lifting it up, I left the backpack Auril was carrying in the snow and headed north again.

All I can count on is level 5 stamina.

“It must be cold.”

“It’s better to be cold for a while than to freeze to death.”

Holding Auril in my arms, I maintained the same speed as running.

The white land without a single blade of grass is starting to become more and more frightening.

I’ve been walking for half a day since yesterday, and it’s scary that the scenery hasn’t changed. I’m running so hard

Clap!

“100 million!”

“Huh!”

slumped forward.

Fortunately, Euril threw it well and was unharmed. It’s snowy anyway, so falling down won’t be a big problem.

“it’s okay?”

“yes. I just tripped and fell.”

Crampons are iron cores that are added to shoes to prevent them from falling into the snow. When I tried to pull it out, it got stuck somewhere and wouldn’t come out easily.

“what… … ?”

there is. The mouth that was about to say stopped. As I roughly ran my hand through the accumulated snow, something dark appeared.

It was a human leg.

“Something like this is here.”

I quickly tore the hem of the corpse’s trousers clinging to the crampons. Even after a cursory look, there was nothing in particular that I could see, so I got up right away. There was no time to waste on this.

I hugged Euril again and started walking, but Auril suddenly opened her mouth.

“Investigation team… … would have been.”

“How do you know?”

“There was a pattern of our knights on the clothes. It must have been in the past.”

“I couldn’t even go far.”

Maybe the weather wasn’t good at that time either. I could have lost my way without a guide like Heather.

“I suddenly remembered.”

“What?”

“The hand gesture Heather was going to do earlier.”

When Euril told her to go back with care, it seems that she tried to pull her right hand to her chest and ended up ending it.

“I don’t do it now, but it’s a salute I used to do when my grandfather was around. I heard from Shale.”

“It must have been Mashu’s soldier.”

Then it would make sense to know how to use a sword. During the tyranny of Keljian Mashma, not one deserter left the royal family.

“For some reason, it seemed a little offended. I’ll scold you when you go back.”

“yes.”

He continued holding Auril and did not move. When I managed to recover my physical strength, Euril took out my backpack separately from my luggage and ran alongside.

I tried to speed up as much as possible, but the conclusion did not change much.

It started snowing.

The large and thick snow does not melt when it touches clothes and accumulates right away.

If you looked away for a second, you could see layers of white clothes over your head or arms.

“Going back… … .”

“No.”

Things get even worse when they fail to investigate the Pigtail River in the tenth episode. Then it would be worthless to bring Auril here.

There are things you must find in order to clear it.

The snow is thick.

Before long, the wind blows.

“Euril.”

“yes.”

“If I fall, I have to drag myself to the bottom of that rock. If your luggage is heavy, you can throw it all away.”

“Why, why are you talking like that?”

“I probably won’t be able to arrive.”

I think I’ve moved quite a bit, but I’m only about half the distance left.

Even though it was still daytime, in an instant the sky was darkened with clouds covering it. Snowflakes began to cling to the bridge of his nose flat.

It’s not just the snow that is blown away by the strong wind.

The wind scrapes the endless white snowfields and lifts them up into the sky.

It’s snow blowing on the ground.

“I can’t see ahead.”

“The direction must be right. From now on, Euril will save his stamina. I will continue to hold you.”

The wind is the north wind.

I grabbed Euril’s hand, who was trembling with anxiety. For a while, you can survive with 「Wind Curtain」.

Whiteout.

The problem is the blinded vision and the loss of a sense of direction. It is losing body temperature moment by moment.

“I’ll turn.”

A red scarf was worn over the nose.

Even if you are wearing a thick hat, a fierce wind rushes at you as if it will cut your earlobes.

Whoo!

The White Hell finally spoke. As if they were ready to devour their prey.

“Locks.”

“yes.”

“Locks.”

“I’m fine.”

The damn magic is still level 4.

I used up all my mana in two hours. I thought about investing the remaining ability points, but gave up.

If you can’t take level 9, it’s meaningless anyway. The dragon heart is in my hand, but it’s not my thing.

“Locks.”

“… … .”

“Locks.”

“… … .”

I hear only voices, but my mouth doesn’t move. Euril will take care of it.

I think I was moving my feet until I closed my eyes.

***

The chest was hot.

Fainting is not my hobby.

The tips of his fingers, which had been stiff as if they had turned to stone and would not move, wriggled. My wrists are still stiff, and I can’t even dare to touch my legs.

When I forcibly lifted my heavy eyelids, something caught in my throat.

Rama’s blood.

The warmth that did not cool down warmed my body. I thought my body was heavy, but even the clothes Auril was wearing were on top of my head.

“… … I want to be a snowman.”

I said, forcing my blurry eyes open. I’m glad this nasty tongue is alive.

“Woke up.”

At a distance of about 5m in front of me, I saw Euril squatting with half of her body covered in snow.

“Are you okay with that?”

“Why worry about me, fool.”

A small space under a rock, safe from the flurry of snow.

Since you handed over Rama’s blood to me, Auril must not be near you. So I guess I pretended to be a snowman and retreated outside.

Euril shook her head from side to side. The piled up snow fell in torrents.

You even gave me a scarf.

“Looking at you like this, you look really pretty, Euril.”

“I gave you all I could give. No more compliments.”

“I’m sorry.”

“… … Warm up quickly.”

It’s a very strange thing.

They say things don’t go as predicted, but even so, this has gone too far. It’s always been that way.

For some reason, I hadn’t assumed the worst case at all.

“Euril.”

It was clumsy.

What would have happened without the blood of llamas? Absolutely frozen to death.

It is an artifact that was not even in the plan in the first place. Moreover, I didn’t even plan to use it this way.

“why.”

“Since Euril is by my side, I must be backing down a bit.”

“… … know.”

Without any countermeasures, he jumped into the white prison.

Come to think of it, it worked out surprisingly well so far. None of which I did well.

I was optimistic that everything would work out so far.

“When you see me, heh, I’m only smiling.”

“Did I?”

“Maybe I’m thinking and talking, but I’m so excited that I talk a lot.”

I’m sorry.

I just wanted to show my good side. I wanted to hide my bad side.

I couldn’t shake it off. Even now, compassion is wrapped up in affection and hidden.

“But you know what?”

“What.”

“Euril did too.”

“Because I like it.”

I say it so honestly.

I can’t lie.

“Why are you so sorry for me?”

“Are you noticed?”

“I know what an idiot I am.”

In the midst of the blizzard, Auril burst into laughter. It didn’t even look good. Again, snow is piling up on her pretty silver hair.

“Auril… … . I think it happened because of someone.”

“because of whom?”

“yes.”

It didn’t seem like it took that long for the resolution to be broken.

“That, if.”

As if your throat is clogged up, your head is pushing out the words that are about to leak out.

Stop. don’t tell me

“Because of me, if only.”

I ended up getting it out of my mouth.

I thought it would be fun, but as painful and terrifying as possible. viciously don’t blame anyone

If it’s all because of me

If I end up being hated by the guys I gave affection to, will I be able to hold on like I am now?

On the contrary, without saying that, how much longer could I have endured? Ironically, I was also in that kind of mess.

“If that is you… … .”

It was a bit of a long worry.

1 second passed like 1 minute.

“Probably forever.”

Euril smiled and said.

“You will love it for the rest of your life.”
