Chapter 754: Snow And Fashionable Guraru

Chapter 754 – Snow and Fashionable Guraru

Snow is falling and it’s getting thicker.

It becomes harder to shovel.

Even so, it is not recommended to melt the snow using magic.

The water from the melted snow will freeze and it will cause danger to everyone.

Why do I ask the phoenix chick Aegis to use flame to melt the snow off the roof?

For some reason, the snow melted by its flame evaporates immediately from ice.

That was an exception.

Getting back to the topic….blasting snow with magic is not a good idea too.

It will just blow the snow away and the melted snow will freeze quickly which is dangerous.

And there’s more.

The vibration from the explosion might cause the snow on top of the buildings to fall off.

That’s dangerous, right?

That’s why there’s no way I’ll permit the use of kuro horn spear.

No matter how much Kuudel asks, I won’t give in.

…..

It’s not fair to use your daughter Laladel.

-0-

I ended up giving permission to use around five horns.

I reflected on my weak will.

Well, I told her not to do it near the village but…..it wouldn’t be shoveling the snow if it’s far from the village.

And she received them with a bright smile so I guess she just want to dive bomb.

As expected.

As I was taunted with the use of Laladel, my only wish is that she won’t grow up like her.

-0-

Laladel started sleeping so I went to her room and put her to bed.

I thought I would be able to watch over her but some angels volunteered to take care of her.

They were newcomers and were getting along well with Laladel.

Are you sure?

Won’t you find it boring?

She’s my daughter so that doesn’t apply to me…..

They take turns reading books and watching over Laladel.

They also want to take care of the other angel children since they won’t be able to spend time with them a lot.

I have no problem with that request as both Tier and Kuudel have given their permission.

I can entrust it to them.

If anything goes wrong, just let the oni maids or the spiderlings at the ceiling know.

When I pointed upward, some of the spiderlings raised their legs.

Hnn?

What’s wrong?

They said they were impressed with such perfect security.

Ah, yeah, well, the spiderlings are awesome.

Leaving Laladel to the hands of the angels, I wandered down the hallway and saw an unusual group making a snowman in the courtyard.

Guronde, the orthros Oru, and Hiichirou.

No, the ones who were making snowmen are Guronde and Hiichirou while the orthros Oru is just hanging around Guronde.

I put on some warm clothes and went to the courtyard.

Yow, where’s Raimeiren?

「Raimeiren-sama has gone off to make a snow mountain. She took her husband Dors-sama with her.」

I see.

So that’s why Guronde’s the one taking care of Hiichirou.

I apologize for that.

Raimeiren should have called for me or Hakuren.

「Perhaps she has chosen me since she’ll return right away.」

That’s true.

「In addition, Hakuren-san is taking care of Hikaru-san and Himiko-san.」

That’s true too.

I want to take care of Hikaru and Himiko myself but the two of them can’t control their powers that well yet. They don’t want me to get too close to them just in case.

That’s sad but I can’t risk traumatizing the kids.

Ah, it doesn’t mean that I’ll ignore Hiichirou.

How about we make a snowman together?

Good good.

…….

Areh?

Where’s Guraru?

Guraru is usually with Hiichirou.

Especially when Raimeiren is not with him.

Why isn’t she here?

「She’s dressing up.」

That’s what Guronde said.

「She asked Zabuton-san to make clothes for her before she hibernates. She went back to her house to wear them.」

Ph.

I guess Guraru wants to show off to Hiichirou.

Well, as long as they don’t use force to pair them up or anything, there’s no problem.

I’m the one who made the snowman’s head.

The body was made by Hiichirou.

As a father, I want to show off my strength to my son. Unfortunately, I can’t win against race.

I asked Hiichirou to put the head on the body.

Yeah, not bad.

Guronde’s done with her snowman too.

Guronde’s snowman has a semicircle-shaped body with a sphere head on top of it.

「I was going to make its torso like an igloo but you have to make the torso hollow. If I do that, the head will fall sink, won’t it?」

I guess it would.

Igloo can be found all over the village during winter so Guronde knows about it.

I guess she was trying to make it more practical…..

「It was a failure of a plan.」

Well, don’t be so downhearted.

I’ve done something similar and it indeed lost its head.

Guronde is better than me since you’ve foreseen it before it happened.

「Fufufu」

Let’s just make a legit igloo.

Hiichirou is willing to make one.

The orthros Oru climbed…on top of Guronde’s snowman and looked very happy.

A little later, Guraru arrived.

Aaahhh, black and red winter clothes!

My first impression when I saw it….priestess outfit!

Even though it can be categorized as winter clothes, it’s not stuffy and you can even feel holiness.

Is it not cold?

No problem?

I wish that’s true.

But it compliments Guraru’s gray scales.

In short, it’s not clothes for her human form but for her dragon form!

I was wondering why it took her a long time before coming here. It all makes sense now.

Ah, go easy on landing.

The snowmen will break.

We’re also in the middle of building an igloo.

Land there….

Slowly.

Alright, nice landing.

Hiichirou, please say something about Guraru.

「L-lots of wings….」

…..

Well, it’s true that Guraru in her dragon form doesn’t only have one pair of wings but three pairs.

Areh?

Was she always like that?

I have seen Guraru’s dragon form several times and I’m sure I’ve only seen a normal pair of dragon wings.

「She only didn’t let them out because she can’t fully control them yet.」

Guronde said.

I see. So that’s how it is.

She says she can’t fully control them yet but she looks so cool while posing with her three pairs of wings while staying stationary in the air.

Well, I didn’t say it but she’s exactly what a fallen angel or a dark priest looks like according to my imagination.

Impressive.

All is well which is great….

Hiichirou, what do you think about having lots of wings?

Do you want more yourself?

You were more jealous of Guronde for having lots of heads?

I see.

Guraru looking at us….no, at Hiichirou.

She’s gone to the trouble of dressing up.

It can’t be helped so let’s ask one more time.

Hiichirou, please say something about how Guraru looks.

As expected, it is impossible for Hiichirou, who’s still a child, to read the atmosphere.

Thus, I whispered my words of wisdom.

Does Hiichirou like that kind of clothes?

「Yeah, Guraru’s clothes are cool!」

In other words, you look good on it.

I translated it for her so it should be fine.

Guraru seems….not dissatisfied.

Good.

Oh?

Guraru’s going to transform back to her human form?

Eh?

What will happen to her clothes?

Magic storage?

That’s convenient.

……

Guraru.

Why do you look like that?

You look like a high school girl, you know?

What’s more surprising is that….she’s not in a dark priestess outfit but in a priestess outfit.

You have it made for your human form too?

Yeah, it looks good on you.

But, that, how…..

I know that dragons can freely change the age of their human form.

They usually think of dignity first but there are also those who are similar to Raimeiren, who looks young.

Guraru must have chosen that age to fit the clothes.

However, that’s a bad move.

I glanced at Hiichirou beside me.

He’s clearly unhappy.

He had always thought of Guraru as someone as old as him and now, he found out that she was ahead of him.

As a boy of delicate age, he’ll surely be jealous and wouldn’t be able to praise her.

Guraru seems to have noticed it.

What should I do?

「Soon, you will look good next to me.」

She stirred up the pot!

Good job, Guraru!

You are motivating him to chase after you.

Guronde nodded full of emotion while looking at Guraru.

As for the orthros Oru…he looks bored.

Let’s finish this igloo.

Will Guraru stay like that from now on?

No?

Guraru returned to her usual appearance.

Her clothes resized accordingly….

Ah, yeah, you look cute.

Ehto, I’m not sure if this makes sense here but, you look like you’re going through shichigosan.

TN: It means 753. It’s a celebration of children’s growth. 3 and 5 years old for boys, and 3 and 7 years old for girls.

「What does that mean?」

It means adorable.

Anyway, can I leave the sulking Hiichirou to you?

Okay, I’ll leave him to you.

No.

I don’t approve of her as Hiichirou’s wife yet.

As I’ve been saying for a while now, the two of them….well, Guraru’s fine with it so it will be up to Hiichirou himself.

After completing the igloo, we warmed up there with some soup.

Hiraku: If you can magically store clothes, can’t you also magically wear them?

Guronde: We have to wear them first.

Hiraku: you mean….Guraru wore clothes twice? In her dragon form and in her human form?

Guronde: Yes, she did.

Hiraku: That’s a lot of work.

Guronde: That’s fine. She’s a girl after all.

Loo: I’m the one who taught village chief his understanding about women.
