When I returned to the paradise with Mel, I found a snow field in the corner of the space for intermediate level spirits. Belle and Gina and the others were delighted to see snow for the first time. I thought this was my chance to show my dignity as a master, so I decided to show them the snow games I had learned in Japan.

Look, this is the snow hare.

"Master, it's so cute."

"So cute!"

When we showed the snow hare to Gina and the others, it was a big hit with Sarah and Kikka.

Marco was not so interested in it. Well, he is a boy and probably enjoys playing with his body more than with the snow hare.

But Gina, I don't think you are good enough.

I don't think a girl should be pleased with pretty things either, but she's almost an adult, so she shouldn't react the same way as Marco.

However, I can't force them to be happy. ...... Let's have Gina and Marco move on to making snowmen, where they can move their bodies first.

"Marco, Gina. Try making snowballs like this."

Grab a pile of snow with both hands and squeeze it tightly. If you squeeze too hard, it becomes like ice, so you need to use a certain amount of force.

I show them the snowballs I have made, and Marco and Gina immediately do the same.

"Now, if you roll it like this ......"

"Wow, it's so big!"

"Heh. Snow from the ground sticks to snowballs."

It's very easy for them to be happy with something so simple.

"Yes, the more you roll it, the bigger it gets, so make a big snowball.

"Uri, I'm going to make a big one!"

"Sheba, I'm with you!"

The more you roll it, the bigger it gets. Perhaps these words struck a chord with Marco and Gina, who immediately began rolling the snowballs.

Both of them had enough strength and stamina to roll the snowballs. I can't wait to see how big the snowballs will be.

I'll keep the method of sprinkling water and salt on the snow a secret, since ...... seems to be endless.

As they start to roll the snowballs, I join Sarah and Kikka in making snow rabbits.

They seem to be having fun shaping the snow into a rabbit, so I'm going to take it a step further and try to make a snow rabbit.

First, I roll the snowball until it is the size of a basketball. Then, I attach small, round arms and legs to the snowball and stick two large, long, thin leaves above my head.

Then, embed raspberries for the eyes and twigs for the mouth. .......

"The ball rabbit is complete!"

"It's a tama-usagi!"

"Hmmm, now that you mention it, yes. If you make it round, it will be a ball rabbit. That's great, Master."

Just by making it round, he won Sara and Kikka's hearts perfectly. I feel like they respect me more than if I just teach them about the genjutsu.

I'm a bit unconvinced, but I'll make the most of what I can get out of it.

"Yoo-tah!" "Cue!" "Are you making something?" Kukuu""It's a rabbit!""" ......"

While the three of us were making more snow rabbits, Belle and her friends, satisfied with their snow play, came over to us. They must have had a lot of fun playing in the snow, because their expressions were very satisfied.

"Yuta, you know what? If you get soft and squishy, it will fall off..."

Belle tells me what she's doing, wriggling her arms and legs, but it's very difficult to decipher her words.

Is the fluff the feeling you get when you plunge ...... into the snow?　Then, I guess "Guigui" means that you can pass through the snow if you exert yourself in the snow.

I'm glad that I was able to decipher it, but I can't keep up with it because Rain and the others are reporting a lot of things after Bell.

Sakura was so excited.　Ah!　They are flapping their arms and legs in delight.

"Okay, let's make snow rabbits together!"

At times like this, it is best to divert attention separately. It's a dirty adult thing to do, but it's better than making Belle and her friends sad because they don't understand their words.

"......The snow hare is adorable, but if you make too many of them, it's creepy."

"Yes, it's a little scary."

Sara agrees with my honest opinion.

I've made too much. I, Sarah, Kikka, Belle, Fuchu, Puru, and Mame made it so that the nearby snow field was covered with snow rabbits.

Moreover, some of them have turned into creepy objects rather than snow bunnies, which makes them even creepier.

Well, most of them are cherry blossoms. It was indeed difficult to make a snow hare with a baby's hands. She seems to be satisfied with her work, though: .......

It's time to call it quits on the snow bunnies and bring back Gina and Marco, who are still trying their best to make the snowballs bigger.

"Master, look!"

I called Gina and Marco, and they both came back rolling snowballs.

"Wow! You're amazing!"

"Your sister Gina is amazing too. I didn't know snow could grow this big.

Kikka, Sarah, and Belle are amazed at the size of the snowballs they have made.

I had seen them from a distance, but they were indeed huge.

What's that?　I didn't know snowballs could get this big without salt or water.　Marco's snowball is a meter long, and Gina's is probably over a meter and a half.

Even with the help of contracted spirits, they are not heavy enough to be moved by women and children.

"Hmm, Marco. I'm bigger than you."

"Oh, I'm beaten!"

Gina is usually a crass but older woman who leads Sarah and the others well, but today she seems very childish.

Maybe the snow is making her feel like a child again.

"Hmm?　Tulu, what's wrong?"

While I was enjoying Gina's innocence, Tulu, who was curious about snowballs, tugged at my sleeve.

"How do you make them?"

Tulu points to a large snowball. I see, you want to know how to make a big snowball.

It wasn't particularly difficult, so I showed him how to make snowballs, and Belle and the others gathered around.

"Whoa. I'll make a big one!" "Coo-coo-coo-coo," "Make it round," "Coo-coo," "I'll make a bigger one than my house! ............"

The belles, now that they understood how to make it, took off in high spirits. But I don't think we can make it bigger than the house that Flare said.

...... This snow field is going to be decorated with a lot of snow bunnies and a lot of snow dolls.

"Well, next time, let's put Marco's snowball on top of Gina's snowball so that it doesn't break.

Conveniently, the two snowballs are of different sizes, so let's complete the snowman in one fell swoop.

The disciples are like, "What?　Why do you put a snowball on a snowball?　But when the snow dharma is completed, they will understand the greatness of their master.

Marco and Gina cooperate in piling up snowballs. I was worried that they might break or fall off, but they successfully stacked two snowballs on top of each other.

Now we need a bucket ...... instead of a hat, and since we don't have a magic bag, we can use a pot ...... or, better yet, a glittering helm.

A helm with no special effects and a lot of jewels on a gold base, it is heavy and I can't think of any use for it other than for ceremonial purposes or for cash, but it would be interesting to see a snowman dressed up in a luxurious costume.

It would be interesting to see a golden snow doll dressed up luxuriously. ...... No, it's not. It would be a pity to make a snow doll made by an apprentice for the first time into a golden one.

Let's do the snow dolls for the golden ones with the snow dolls that I made later.

Then, I can use a pot instead of a bucket, fruit like a tangerine for eyes, a carrot for nose, and a mouth and hands with some leftover wood from DIY and gloves. The button on the belly could be an apple.

The parts are taken out of the magic bag and given to Gina and the others, each of whom explains what they are to be used for, and they embed them in the snowman.

Gina and the others cackle with delight as the parts are implanted and laugh at the funny faces they make. It's good to see them having fun.

The apprentices consulted with each other for a while, adjusting the positions of the parts, and when they were satisfied with the finished product, the snow doll was complete.

The large but simple and cute snow dolls remind me of my childhood.

"Master, does this snow golem work?

I see, you thought it was a golem since there is no dharma in our world.

"Well, it won't move as it is, but maybe if I ask ...... the spirit of snow, I might be able to move it?"

"Well, I'll go look for the spirit of snow!"

"No, Marco, wait a minute. Well, you said you were going to have dinner and she's here to play, so don't interrupt her. I'll just ask her when she gets here."

It is indeed awkward to ask someone who has fled in embarrassment to find him and move the snowman.

"Hmm, okay. I'll ask him when he comes.

"Yes. But I can't say for sure if I can move it or not, so if they say I can't, give up.

Marco nodded his head. Like Marco, Gina and the others are very good listeners, which is very helpful.

Probably, Sarah and the others have gone through a lot of hardships, not to mention Gina, so their minds have matured to a certain extent even though they are children.

It's helpful but also sad. But they have become much more childlike than when I took them as my apprentices, and I will try to keep them happy in the future.

......I took you on as an apprentice to help restore the reputation of the genie master, but you've become very bonded to him. .......

Oh, while I was brooding over the memories, Gina and the others were quietly starting to roll out new snowballs.

As expected, it seems that snowballs will be mass-produced as well.

Then I'll join them. Let's show the children the vulgarity of adult snowballs.

It's done!

A glittering golden helm over his head. Two large sapphire eyes, a huge ruby nose, an emerald mouth, and three fist-sized diamond buttons on his belly. And instead of hands, I put a magic sword of light and a magic sword of darkness.

Each part is a snow dharma adorned with treasures that would be recognized as national treasures if they were to appear.

"I thought it was going to be more vulgar, but ...... it's surprisingly cool."

The pure white snow and various gemstones reflect the sun, giving it a mysterious beauty.

Also, the light and dark swords on the left and right are so powerful that they would be very strong if they could fight.

Well, is the helm on the head vulgar or not?

If you want to make it look like a rich man, it might be better to use a lot of gold for the parts.

Well, since it is completed so coolly, there is no need to make it a golden snow doll.

But looking at it again, this is nothing but a bad quality prank.

It looks bad for education, and I should store it without showing it...

"Master, you can't do this, can you?　I think that anything of value should be treated accordingly."

Before I could destroy the evidence, Gina saw me and said something quite reasonable. Would I be able to cover it up with a smile?
