It was the next day.
I was in the mood to go out and hunt something, but I don't know if my mom would allow it since she's still a little pissed at me for my disobedience.
I thought she had already let it go, but she was really angry and wouldn't take her eyes off me for a second afraid I would do something.
With so much attention on me, I can't go out hunting or doing something. But I would find some way to do this, maybe I can ask for help from some people, I think they will help me.
But now I need to prepare myself.
I opened my Status in front of my eyes.

[ The end ]
I still had 20 skill points left and my swordsman skill had finally reached level 8.
I don't know when this happened, but I was quite satisfied. Now my magic was still at the same level even though I used them a few times, which is pretty weird.
When I fought those monsters under the church I just used magic. But whatever.
Looking at my Status, I felt pretty satisfied with my magics at the moment. Even the strongest people I've encountered didn't have their magics at such a high level, so I wouldn't need to spend points on spells alone right now.
I don't want to become a mage, I want to use a sword as my main means of fighting just like in the old days.
'My strength and agility are also at a very pleasant level. Should I look at the skills?
Looking at the skills menu, I noticed that I didn't have enough points to get any of them.
The cheapest abilities were [Spell] which increased my amount of mana or magic. And the other abilities were [Tamer] and [Contract]
Honestly, I was quite interested in the [Tamer] skill since I could tame monsters to use them in battle. But even so, all these skills cost 30 points, I don't have enough.
So I can't pick up any skills yet.
'Should I join these dots? Or maybe I should put 10 points on strength and agility? So I will increase 100 points in each, it would be a very satisfactory evolution.'
Haa~~
I sighed and then put 10 points on strength and then another 10 points on agility, increasing both by 100 points. Each skill point increased by 10 in each stat, that was a lot.
"But now I think it's enough, I just need to gather points to get skills." I thought as I got out of bed and walked out of the house.
A few thoughts popped into my head as I left and laid my eyes on the wall around our village. I should do something in this war because that way I don't feel like the protagonist.
'Okay, I think I have an idea. It might be dangerous, but no one will know about it anyway.' I walked to my mom's side and greeted normally as if I wasn't thinking about anything dangerous.

When night came, the weather was cold and rain was falling outside. It was dinnertime so everyone was seated at the table as before.
As the weather was cold, everyone wore a coat.
"It got cold all of a sudden, didn't it? Even though it rained yesterday, I didn't think the temperature would drop that much." My dad said as he rubbed his hands together to hold back the cold.
"Yes, it's cold." My mom responded while she ate. She didn't seem to mind the cold very much.
"I just wanted to lie down and throw myself under the blanket." Lisandra had her body shaking as she struggled to keep eating.
"This is very abnormal, did something happen to make the weather this cold?" I asked confused as I looked at my mom. She was the best person when it came to that.
"I do not know. It does not winter yet and it's not snowing. So don't know where all this cold came from. It started in the afternoon when the rain came."
"Did no one use magic to make this happen?"
"I've never heard of magic that can change the weather like that, but can you tell me why you think that?" Looking at my mom, I noticed that her forehead was a little wrinkled.
Usually, these little wrinkles appear when she is irritated or worried.
"If you stop and analyze, we're pretty close to where the war is happening right now."
"That's true, and that's why the protections were put in." My father interrupted the conversation.
"Exactly. And so, maybe this is a spell that one of the armies used to destabilize the enemy army, isn't it? None of the armies are prepared for a cold snap, so…"
"Do you mean that some country used a spell to change the weather to affect the enemy army?"
"That's right."
"But wouldn't that be too stupid? Even if they use this magic and protect themselves from the cold, they would still have a hard time-fighting."
"That's true..."
"Unless they use magic so strong that it kills enemy soldiers. This magic doesn't help much as the two countries are not used to the cold. If any of the countries were used to the cold, it might have an advantage, but that's not the case."
"It makes sense…" My mom was right. If one of the armies had the advantage to deal with cold, it would make sense to use this magic, but this is not the case as the two countries are not cold and the weather is quite pleasant.
But since that's not it, what could it be...
Seeing my thoughtful face, my mother decided to say something.
"Maybe it's just a passing cold snap, probably by tomorrow morning the weather will be back to normal."
"Yes..."
With this conversation over, everyone went to sleep. It was cold...
Lying on my bed under the blanket, I smiled and thought about how this cold had come at a really good time.
"Okay, I guess that's okay." I rose from the bed and my body shivered right away.
"It's cold, I think I should wear better pants to protect myself from the cold." I wearing long black pants, an equally black shirt with long sleeves, and over the shirt, I put on a coat.
A completely gray coat that had a hood. I used the hood to hide my hair and then took a piece of cloth and made a mask that covered my mouth and nose.
"If anyone saw me right now, they'd think I'm a criminal." I smiled in my mind as I walked out of the bedroom. Since I was much more skillful, I was able to sneak out without making a noise.
Going outside, I came face to face with a large curtain of fog that covered the entire village. If it was any child, it would surely be afraid of some monster appearing in the fog.
But I completely ignored this and walked through the village which was completely dark as most of the villagers slept early.
Then I went to the house where Ciaphia, Eli, and Taciane were staying, preventing the guards from seeing me.
I didn't want to get caught and mistaken for a criminal. But I'm honestly more afraid of what my mom will do if she finds out I was sneaking out of the house at this hour.
Knock~~
Knock~~
I gave the door a small knock as I looked to the side to make sure no one was around. Inside the house, it was still light, so I knew the girls were still awake.
After a few seconds, the door opened.
"Wow, you look like a criminal." The door was answered by Taciane.
"I'm sorry about that, but this is the best way to protect myself from the cold and hide my appearance."
"Don't worry about it, come in." I entered the girls' house with a bit of trepidation. When I entered, I found only a small living room with a small old sofa in the middle of the room.
Ciaphia and Eli weren't there.
"Where are the other two?"
"Eli is sleeping and Ciaphia is in her room. You can come here, she said you would." Following Taciane, I walked to the bedroom that was being used by Ciaphia.
Knock~~
Knock~~
Taciane knocked on the door and then called out to Ciaphia.
"Ciaphia, Noah is here."
From inside the room, Ciaphia's voice answered.
"You can let him in."
"Go ahead." Taciane opened the door wider, so without thinking twice I walked into the bedroom. Her room was a little dark, but at least it had some light sources that let me see relatively well.
"So you came," Ciaphia said as she rose from a chair and turned to me.
When she stood up and looked at me, I noticed that she was wearing some rather sexy pajamas that emphasized her big breasts. Her long, red hair was draped across her chest.
Looking at her better, she was a sensual and beautiful girl.
