545 - - Five hundred and forty-three. - Snow.

Scouting for the Great Spirit of Snow ...... acquisition?　The company succeeded in The effect of the earth hit product made from the spirit tree was outstanding. Well, the effect was so outstanding that I wondered if it was a good thing that I was able to scout so easily, but let's just say that all is well that ends well.

"As you may know, I am the Great Spirit of Snow who is going to live on the topmost island and make it snow from today. Please be a good friend to him."

I'll get along with you... cue cute... kukuu... I'll make you my little brother... ......... neeko...

Huh?　Did I make a mistake in my introduction?　No, I thought I said the Great Spirit of Snow.

I see, Belle and Sakura have charged at him, but they know he's the Great Spirit of Snow.

Well, spirits have a loose hierarchical relationship, and Belle and Sakura have been playing with the spirit kings and Sylphy and others. So there's no need to be scared of them just because they are big spirits.

Stop it! Don't make me squirm! Hey, human! Don't just stand there!

Oops, I was looking at it all.

But the comparison is quite revealing. In front of the natural cuteness of Belle and the others, the cuteness of the Great Spirit of Snow is slightly on the nose.

In a sense, it is amazing that they are only subtly cute in this situation, but I am glad that our children are prettier than them.

However, I wonder if they are a little excited about their new potential friends.　They are not the kind of kids who would do anything they don't want to do, but they are crazy about the big spirits.

No, but they still won't do what others don't like. Does that mean that the Great Spirits of the Snow are not so much disliked in their hearts even if they are disliked on the surface ......?

Yeah, maybe he's the type of person who can't be honest.

Tsundere...that's the perfect personality for a cat.

"Hey, why are you ignoring me!　I'll help you!"

"Oh, you mean me?　There are other humans here besides me, and I've introduced myself properly, so please call me by my name."

As for me, I've given up on the attitude of the Great Spirit of Snow, so I don't mind if he calls me human, but if he doesn't, he's likely to call Gina and the others human, too.

I can't allow that to happen, so I'll take this opportunity to ask them to call me by my name. After that, we should let Gina and the others introduce themselves properly.

"Names!　I don't remember hearing that!"

I had expected that, since I was so absorbed in the cushions, but I guess I didn't even remember introducing myself, let alone my name.

With Belle and the others hugging and patting him, and Sakura nuzzling his face into her own stomach, I guess he has no time to keep up his end of the sentence.

It's about time.

"My name is Yuta. From now on, please call me by my name. Also, I'll have my students introduce themselves to you, so make sure you call them by their first names.

Okay. Yuta, help me quickly.

"I can't help it. Come back here, guys. I haven't finished saying hello yet.

back to you... queue... greetings are important... coo... see you later! ......""ai""

Belle and Sakura return as soon as you call them. My kids are really good kids. And the Great Spirit of Snow's reputation has risen a little.

The Great Spirit could have kept the jabbering Belles away, but he didn't resist, even though he complained about it, which is highly appreciated.

Well, I think it's more likely that she's just a tsundere, but it's not bad that she can care about the children.

"Whew. Indeed, we need to help them sooner than later.

The <> at the end of words is back. He seems to have calmed down to some extent. Let's introduce ourselves and make sure everyone remembers our names.

*****

"This is the island, are you okay?"

After the introductions, we quickly made our way to the island where the Great Spirit of Snow had placed us.

During the introductions, the Great Spirit of Snow showed a subtle twang, but was received smilingly by the human side because of his cute appearance.

Mel and Kikka looked as if they wanted to be miffed, so I think I was completely fooled by their gestures. I would like to find an opportunity to let them be fluffed.

On the other hand, the reactions of Dine and Ruby and the other spirits seemed to indicate that they were satisfied with the rumor.

Perhaps they had heard the rumor of the eccentric Great Spirit of Snow even if they had never met him.

Even if one is not familiar with the world of spirits, one can understand that this Great Spirit of Snow is an eccentric person.

"Well, this island is smaller than I thought. Is this the only island that can make it snow?"

"Yeah, that's the idea, but maybe it's too small?"

Aside from the ubiquitous Sylphy winds, Deanne and the others had no problem with their own attributes, which were not so large.

Even though there is no snow at all here, I thought it would not be a problem because of the sanctuary, but it could be too small to sustain a snowy environment.

The core of the labyrinth may cry, but if push comes to shove, let's go get another island or two.

"No, it's easy enough..."

I guess I overthought it.

I know. You're the type who likes it easy.

"So what about a place to live?　If you want something like a cave, I can ask Nomos, or if you don't mind the time it will take, I can get you a house."

He had a thing for furs and was negative about man-made things, so why not houses too?

"I don't need a house. You don't need a house. You can do whatever you want on this island, right?"

"...... do what you want, but you don't want us to lose access to it."

I had a very bad feeling about this. I have a feeling that if we don't nail them down, they might build a fortress-like dwelling place to avoid any trouble.

I heard a small click of the tongue from the Great Spirit of Snow.

I don't know if it's a fortress or what, but they've got to be thinking of some way to get rid of us. We can't be too careful.

"...... Well, good. Then I'll do as I please to a certain extent.

"What?　What are you going to do for a minute?"

"Well, you'll just have to wait and see."

No, I'm asking because I'm not sure what they're going to do. ...... Well, if push comes to shove, we can have Sylphy and the others clear the land for us.

I don't know how great the Great Spirit of Snow is, but we have six Great Spirits on our side, so we should be able to handle it.

"Nyah!"

The Great Spirit of Snow stood majestically on the ground and raised his voice as if to raise his spirits. At the same time, the body of the Great Spirit of Snow began to grow huge.

I see, it was the spirit to become huge ......, or perhaps it was the spirit to return to its original form since it had become so small.

I've seen Wind-sama's enlargement and shrinkage before, but seeing the change in front of my eyes is a different and more powerful experience.

Gina and the others were astonished, and Belle, Sakura, and Fukuchan were also excited. As expected, Sylphy and the other great spirits are calm, so I guess they are used to seeing such things.

"What?　What's that, a little?"

Even when it reaches the expected size, it does not stop growing. Huh?　I don't remember snow leopards being that big.

When I saw it at the zoo, it looked a little slimmer than a tiger. I had expected it to be even larger, taking into account the fact that it is a spirit, but I did not expect it to be larger than an elephant.

I have seen large animal spirits and higher level spirits on Sake Island, but they were all of a reasonable size.

Probably, the great spirits and advanced spirits that came to Sake Island also adjusted their sizes to suit the occasion.

The Great Spirit of Snow finally stopped growing when it reached the size of an elephant or larger.

His legs, which were thick even when he was a cat, are now as strong as pillars, and his sharp claws strongly emphasize that he is a predator.

On the other hand, the giant body does not look fat, but rather lean and stylish.

And then there is the face. It's scary, to be honest. So scary that I might have wet my pants if I didn't know it was a spirit.

When he was small, he had a charming face, but now his face, just like his claws, is a predator. What are you going to bite off with those fangs, even though you're a genie?

"Whew. It's been a while since I've been back in this form.

"No, it's not nice to hear you say in that form."

I couldn't help but notice the discomfort in the wild voice of the Great Spirit of Snow, and I couldn't help but tsk-tsk.

For a moment, I regretted my mistake, but then I thought about it and realized that there was no need to be afraid of him. I was almost swallowed up by the sheer force of his voice, but a big snow spirit is still a big snow spirit, and his personality is still the same.

Well, if he had seen us first, he would not have spoken to us as casually as he does now.

"Hmm, that's true."

As she is a spirit who wears a cat's head only to avoid being forced to do troublesome things, she nodded her head as if she was satisfied immediately without being particular about the end of the word. This kind of thing is good because there is no trouble.

The other parts are troublesome, though.　

"Gahhhh!"

As I was inwardly thinking about the terrible thing, the Great Spirit of Snow suddenly howled. I was a little surprised, but a roar is more appropriate for the current appearance than adding < at the end of a word.

"What happened out of the blue?"

"Well, just watch."

The great spirit of snow caught my gaze, and I looked at the sky. Dense clouds came in one after another from the direction of the sea, blocking the light of the sun.

The land of death, where not even rain falls. I have never seen such a gathering of clouds in the sky since I came to this world.

And snow falling from the clouds.

You made it snow as you promised. When we saw the intermediate snow spirits, it was as if snow was born from the sky, but this one has even changed the environment of the sky. It is indeed a great spirit.

However, there was so much snow.

Belle, Gina, and the others are overjoyed at the unusual situation, but there is no doubt that there is too much snow. At this rate, the island will be covered with snow in no time.

"Gah!"

Worried, I tried to talk to the Great Spirit of Snow, but this time he barked a little.

As if in response to his voice, the snow in the sky changed the direction in which it was falling and piled up in one place.

Then, a huge snow dome was completed. The Great Spirit of Snow howled lightly again, and the dome shrunk one more time, and a hole opened in the dome.

Yes, a giant snow cone is completed, making the one we made before look like a mere lump of snow.

"Whew! I'm tired after working so hard for the first time in a while. Yuta, hurry up and get that cushion out! It's time for bed.

The Great Spirit of Snow, who has shrunk and transformed into a cat, declares a break and demands a cushion.

...... well ...... good ......?

Since it's snowing as requested, and since he seems to be a bad influence on Belle and the others, we'll let him rest in the back of the giant kamakura.
