287 267 Dance in the snow and consume now

Raspberry Bell, one of the wagging carriages, wondered what was going on.

There are so many things to worry about. Did Eco succeed with just a little advice from herself, would Sylvia not be surrounded by a flock of phinics to wipe out the charcoal, would Senpai be under her nose again while she was gone? I can't cut it off when I start thinking.

I have been worried about it for a long time. And perfectionism. Therefore, I thought more than anyone.

Brainstormist, to put it bluntly.

She yearns for “authenticity”. Sometimes I yearned for a real man, sometimes I yearned for a real woman. And above all, that man's presence was always in my head.

That's why she keeps thinking. Use her best weapon, her brain, to catch up with any authenticity and make herself authentic. That's how I got so close with one head.

But... this time, I had a bad opponent.

"Akan, I can't think of a vision that works...."

Wind Spirit Nepere. Of the three targets, the second was the most vigilant.

The reason for this was in Nepere's character.

Some people say, "Wonder Character.” Raspberry Bell agreed.

It's just a story in the game. The question is what's going on with that mysterious character's ego... Raspberry Bell is scared of it anyway.

There is also the possibility that the customer will go quickly. But on the contrary, things can be very tricky.

What happens is still up to Nepere....

"─ Ah, it hurts!? Hey, stop being polite, asshole!

Suddenly, the carriage stops with a sudden brake.

Raspberry Bell rolled in the carriage and complained reflexively against Slapenille, who did not know whether words could or could not speak.

I don't know if I lost my mood, but wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

The raspberry bell that I thought was strange because it didn't move too much stood up.

I wonder if you've arrived...

When I opened the small window behind the carriage, it was a snowy field.

"... I really like it."

Raspberry Bell was temporarily paranoid. I kept thinking without looking out for a long time, so I didn't know where I was right now.

This is near the eyes and nose of the house where Nepere lives. It is commonly referred to as the "plain of the clouds".

"Wow, one side of the silver world...!

Outside the carriage, Raspberry Bell was surprisingly excited as it felt the softness and cold of the snow on his feet. The season is late summer. It was a nice surprise to see snow in the summer.

"Nfufufu! I'm glad you're here!

A neutral voice from above the carriage.

When Raspberry Bell looked up, there was...

"... how much snow do you have?

"It's probably because you're late to come out!

"No, I don't think I'm gonna take it upstairs. It's normal."

"That's true!

Long hair in black gothic dress with crisp makeup, black lips, black manicure and pink mesh on black hair.

There was no doubt Raspberry Bell's known wind spirit Nepere stood on a carriage covered in snow.

Why were you standing on a carriage waiting for a raspberry bell to come out? Perhaps no one knows the reason.

"Come on. Let me invite you to my house."

Nepere fluttered down and stood in front of the raspberry bell.

He is about 15 centimeters taller than a raspberry bell. Except for the heeled pumps, they seem taller than raspberry bells.

"Ah, my name is Raspberry."

"That's good! That's good right now! You don't get it anymore!

"Wow!? Hey, hey, hey! Don't freak out suddenly!

"Ahh, it's ruined. It was nice."

The moment Raspberry Bell tried to name it, Neplé interrupted with a loud voice.

"Hey, this isn't the time to introduce yourself, is it? It would be nice to talk about things without even knowing each other's names and name each other on the last contract! Even if you introduce yourself as if you're on the move right now, it won't be any painting (...). It's a waste, you know?

I don't know if it's going to run out.

"That's right! That's what I thought. Let's go."

"I'm not emotional anymore....."

If you suddenly get angry, it calms you down in an instant.

"Even if you're angry, you can't help it. Yeah, well, there's nothing you can do about it. Excuse me. Let me tell you how things work here."

Anyway, the switching is quick, the tongue speaks smoothly, and the gesture is large. The characteristic was Raspberry Bell's known Nepere... but somewhere, I felt uncomfortable.

Even if you knew in advance that it was a character like this, the story is different when you actually deal with someone. Raspberry Bell quietly changed his mind that this would be more troublesome than he thought.

"I'm in love with the show."

"Shaw?"

"Yes, it's a spectacle."

Neplé danced out a few steps before the Raspberry Bell and looked back, his hands widened in a playlike motion and he looked up to heaven.

"You want to make a deal with me, right? Then you'll have to keep in mind that I want to do a show. I want to have a great show that will numb the hearts of the people I watch!

…………

Raspberry Bell thought. I want to look up to heaven...

The spirits she knew, Nepere, were not otherwise "spectacular characters."

After all, Nepere in this world is a fantastic character as well as a fantastic character.

"Tough!

I shouted.

I dared to let it out.

Here's what Raspberry Bell did in a long carriage.

--I won't fix anything.

Always talking to Nepere in earnest was what seemed to be the most powerful operation.

Because no matter how dressed you are, you'll find out later. The opponent is a Spirit, one shot if they peek inside.

If so, it's better than talking and bumping into each other from the beginning. If it's not compatible at this point, that's all.

"I think the show is right. Net, I don't know how much I like to be fascinated or how much I want to entertain the audience because of the people in the show. I don't know, like this? I do what I do on a daily basis. Get in the middle of what I saw."

First face-to-face, preaching.

However, this was a Raspberry Bell element and a candid opinion.

It looks similar and very different from when we were at Mevius Online. The only way to use spirits as tools is to play games. In this world, we need to build as good a relationship as possible because we are going to spend our lives with spirits.

For this reason, Raspberry Bell makes a comedy and preaches even in the first place. Her actions were all about looking to the future.

"... yeah. You say that a lot. It's fresh!

Neplé lowers his open arms and laughs to his mouth as he strengthens.

"Yeah, yeah. When I thought about it, all of a sudden it bothered you. [M] I'm sorry."

Then I lowered my head and apologized.

This Spirit, apparently not much preached to anyone, Raspberry Bell discerns. Because he suddenly quiets down and flickers and observes the raspberry bell. It is the elementary school student who was scolded by the teacher.

"Do you like shows?

"That's right! I want to show you something and entertain someone. If I may borrow your words, I would like to enchant you. [M] Hmm, you're smart. There's no such thing as a charm. Enchanting, ahh... * giggle *, a good word!

When Raspberry Bell shook the story, Neplé smiled and spoke.

"I lived like a show every day, so I went out with you. What I wanted to tell you....."

Then he pointed his finger at it and said it was like a theatrical exaggeration.

"I want to play a show with you!

In that case, Raspberry Bell thought it would be good to say so from the beginning, but I realized that it was shown in my actions without saying it, and I felt that I understood the spirit character of Nepere a little.

I see. But I can't sing or dance at home. "

"Well, anything is fine as long as it's a show. Well, let's make it a show that doesn't need to be like that. The important thing for me is to let someone see something and enjoy it."

"I don't think it would be a perfect title fight if I did, but we..."

"Title battle? It's kind of an exciting name. You gonna fight?

"Don't fight. The audience is amazing. All-you-can-stand all-you-can-attract."

"Wow, that's lovely. But I'm not a good fighter."

"Well, if you just keep moving like we said, yeah."

I see!

Walk along the snow path and play the conversation.

Nepelé's house in the middle of the plain was already dozens of meters away.

"Next time, may I ask you a question?

"Please, anything."

"Why did you know we were attractive? Do you think it's normal to show it?

Suddenly the air stopped.

The snow that had been falling until then stopped snowing.

"Oh... you're really smart, aren't you? Do you notice that?"

I mouthed it to impress Nepere.

Why did the snow stop? Raspberry Bell has already figured out why.

"Well, you and I are very close. Evidence that more than words have been conveyed as a precaution since before signing the contract."

"Talk to me. You said Senpai too."

"You must be dead once, right? It's very easy to talk to, just for me. However, I'm afraid... it's going to melt inside you and disappear."

Once the snow stopped, it began to snow as a blizzard.

When they arrived in front of the house, they confronted each other without going inside.

"I've learned a lot about you with just a few words. This means that I'm being pulled by you. I'm being swallowed by you."

"I've heard that before. Don't tell me spirits and messengers look alike."

"Yes, if it's well balanced, that's it. But if you don't mind...."

Nepere dared not speak, but Raspberry Bell felt it. As I said earlier, it will disappear.

"Well, I think that's all right. Just in case."

Seyana

"So, I'm going to decide the gender here."

"Nh...?

Suddenly, I couldn't read the direction of the story.

"You're a man, aren't you? I've been talking to you. I understand."

I knew it was hidden.

"That's why I want to be a man."

"... yes!?

Raspberry Bell turned his voice upside down and was surprised.

Nepere's appearance is neutral, but it was clearly female.

"The physical body has a great influence on the mind. Making a decisive difference between you and me will make me less drawn to you. [M] In addition, it's a dimension that allows you to better understand yourself by experiencing it."

Neplé explained in a playlike tone and movement, and finally snapped his fingers.

"So I'm going to be a man."

"No, no, don't wait! Even if you decide the sex so easily, eh!?

"I can't. Once you make up your mind, you can't go back."

"Akanyan! Think harder!

"Ah, I've already made up my mind."

"Morning!?

Apparently, I decided on my gender in the middle of the conversation.

There is no particular change in appearance, but the gender is perfectly male. Nepere's gender was firmly anchored in the man.

"Now we can make a deal."

Neplé said that and smiled, stretching his chest with his hands open.

In a moment, the blizzard intensified and his long hair blew into the wind.

"You already know that, right? My name is Nepere. Wind Spirit. People call me the Spirit of the Clouds."

"... my name is Raspberry Bell. There's a lot going on, and I want to make a deal with you."

"I know a lot about wake. Raspberry Bell, you already know about my abilities, don't you?

"Let me go. I want that ability, and I'll call you."

"For the longing senpai?

Is that how you found out?

"It seems to go well together. It's almost empty."

Like the combination of second and angora, it seemed like a one-way barrel slip.

"I feel destiny for you. You and that senpai think I'm the only one on the contract, right? Honestly, it's an honor. Your clarity is also very impressive, and your intelligence is even more impressive. [M] I think you're the only one on the contract, too. So I became a man."

The blizzard intensifies even more, and the sound starts to roar.

It's like I'm finally standing. It's like a blizzard that prevents them from moving.

"I don't know how fateful this is, but I always think it would be convenient if I could make a deal with you. That's how you use your abilities freely, like on stage? We want to do that, too."

"I'm not at liberty. But if it's what you're thinking, it might help."

Nepere took a few steps forward and approached the Raspberry Bell.

Then move your right hand forward.

"Come on, you too."

Yes, sir.

Protrude your right hand out to each other and reach your fingertips toward the other person's heart.

"If I can make the contract safely without melting... why don't you go inside and have some tea?

And Nepere said that in a playful tone.

Raspberry bells can't talk about our world. I'm sure Nepere knows that, but he dared to say it as a dialogue.

"Let's play a show together" - a quote from Nepere.

"We do have a terrace. -It's gonna be fine, right?

Raspberry Bell was invited.

I want to do something to entertain someone. I had that feeling a long time ago when I was with her.

Well, let's do that.

As Neplé smiles, his fingertips touch the position of his heart.

--Immediately afterwards, it was really sunny. The snowstorm stops like a lie, and thick clouds avoid it, and the sun illuminates them both.

In an instant, they peered inside each other.

Why did you come to admire the show? Why do you like black fashion? Raspberry Bell touched various parts of Nepere and thought:

Neplé is not a mysterious character, but rather a normal character.

It's just a curious, tea-like, chatty spirit.

Such ordinary spirits decided their gender to men with great determination to make a contract with themselves. Raspberry Bell, who thought so, felt unspeakable joy.

In this way, the contract will be concluded safely.

The two smiled silently as the sunlit snow sparkled.

A better understanding of each other eliminated the need for many words between the two.

But that's all I have to say. Raspberry Bell barely opened his mouth.

"Yes, just illuminating the terrace... is embarrassing!
