Chapter.17 First snow
of winter.
Winter has begun in full force.
Inside the restaurant, the stove started working. The restaurant was very warm compared to the outside, but the dragon said it was still cold and curled up with a blanket.
Compared to the people at the ranch, the restaurant is still warm. Because restaurant work is not something you do outdoors.
“uh... ?”
The night sky with a cold wind blowing. Shining white snow fell on the back of my hand as I cleaned up the restaurant after finishing the business.
It’s the first snow.
The snow clouds that filled the night sky let down the snow very timidly. Watching the snow fall little by little gives me a new feeling.
During war, when snow piles up, many things become difficult. On the battlefield, this white and cold mass is just a nuisance.
But this is not a battlefield. I looked at the falling snow with a slightly different attitude. I don’t even think it will pile up. The snow that fell sparsely was very weak.
If you think about it, when snow piles up, you have to close your restaurant business. Pure white snow may be a blessing that purifies the mind, but if you think differently, it can also be the main culprit of increasing other tasks.
“Rurin, let’s go up and sleep.”
“Is it finally over?”
Rurin stood up, rubbing his eyes. He wraps his body tightly in a blanket. Letting your hair down, you stick your legs out under the table. And percussion jumps.
And dash forward to me.
Then I naturally grab the dragon’s arm and go down to the basement. In most cases, it is a landscape that does not change.
Since we have already built a public bathhouse, it is only right that we use it in this winter.
Taking a bath every night has become a necessity.
“Croooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
A low-level monster captured from the northern lands. Kadish, who is now the bathhouse manager, makes a strange noise and kneels down to Rurin. The job of this ogre-like monster is cleaning bathhouses and maintaining water.
“Puhaaaaa!”
After taking a bath, Lurin runs towards the beer can. Beer always comes first before wiping the moisture from my head.
It means you want me to wash your hair. Something pure.
When I come up to the second floor, wiping my head from behind, this damn dragon comes to my door as if it were a given! I open it and go in, rolling around on the bed and opening a can of beer.
“Khaaa! This is delicious! “Aren’t you eating?”
“I’m not a beer fan? “Days like this are on the rocks.”
Single malt whiskey. In other words, in the case of distilled spirits that are full in the warehouse, the best way to enjoy them is to drink them straight. But sometimes on the rocks isn’t a bad thing.
On the rocks is less thrilling than the tongue, but I think it brings out the flavor a little more.
When you want to have a light drink at the end of the day, the easiest way is to drink half a glass on the rocks before going to bed.
“The scent is okay, but if you eat it, you won’t remember anything! “You drink scary alcohol well!”
After Lurin drinks whiskey, the film cuts out. There is no way that she, who is full of curiosity, has not tried whiskey.
When I wake up after eating and making a fuss, I wonder why I’m here. I don’t remember yesterday! weird! Well, I would say this over and over again. After that, I avoided whiskey on my own.
“I don’t want any of my memories with you to disappear. So I don’t eat those things.”
However, the line being shouted is a bit foul.
I stroked Rurin’s head and opened the window. The snow is still falling lightly. I think that if the snowfall continues like this, it will pile up. Right now, the sparse snowfall only adds to the charm, so it’s not enough to be a cause for concern.
“Oh, isn’t it the snow guy!”
Rurin also noticed snow creeping in through the window and stood up.
“Snow guy or whatever, come in and close the door. “I am sleeping.”
“Victory! “Kkkkkk!”
He stood tall, making a V sign of victory. Of course, Rurin stands up and argues with the world’s unfair eyes.
“you! behave shamefully! Where can I find something like this? “It tickles your nose!”
“If you’re going to do it, you have to do it right. “I need to cough so the tower won’t collapse, right?”
“It’s a foul! “It’s invalid!”
“Who tickled the soles of your feet first?”
“Who is that! If you find a guy like that, bring him in. “I will roast it and eat it.”
“Would you like me to prepare an iron plate? Do you want to roll around on your own?”
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuck!”
Lurin huffed and went out. It looks like he retreated after being stabbed. If so, then I should go to sleep now.
A peaceful day passes by like that.
When I open my eyes in the morning, as expected, Rurin is curled up and lying next to me. He is holding my hand tightly. I think today’s concept is holding hands rather than being hugged around the waist.
Carefully remove that hand and stand up to stretch. I repeat, there is no way Lurin will wake up in the morning.
When you relax and wake up, open the window. To ventilate and get some fresh air. But what?
I was so surprised by the scenery outside the window that I almost fell in love with it.
No, it definitely snowed. It’s true that it snowed. When did the snow get so thick that it piled up as high as my thighs?
It looks like heavy snow fell with great force. As the dawn deepens. Even the snow is still falling.
The thickness of the snow is different from when I first encountered it yesterday.
“ha?”
For a moment, the thought that the business was ruined occurred to me. It’s a big deal.
I think the town below the hill was probably in chaos too. I originally knew that Great City wasn’t a place where it snowed this much.
I went out in a hurry. The door doesn’t open. Is this a level of isolation? Still, it was a waste to blow down the door, so I opened the window and went out.
Starting from the hill, the entire world was pure white. It is a world of eyes. My legs are sinking. This is not the level of snow where dogs run around and children play.
What has accumulated so much?
Clicking my tongue at Sky’s trick, I used magic to melt all the snow in front of the door. I opened the restaurant door and entered and went up to the second floor. Snow removal work is necessary. We need to build a road to the ranch and even to the city, or we will be isolated.
“Lurin!”
I don’t think about waking up. It is very difficult to wake Lulin in the morning. I went down to the closet and brought out fur clothes, a fur hat, and fur gloves.
Put on clothes, a hat, and gloves. Then he was picked up and taken down to the snow world. I feel myself curling up even more as if it’s cold.
If you mercilessly throw a snowball into Lulin’s back.
“Aang!”
You can see Rurin with her eyes wide open. The dragon, who was about to lose his temper, looked around at the unfamiliar scenery, and once he confirmed that I was there, he looked into my eyes again.
“you... ? What is this? Why is there so much snow? Is it still a dream? Is that something like that?”
“no? Because it’s reality? “Go to sleep later and help me out.”
“Sleepy... .”
Rurin dozed off and walked towards me. Then he stumbles and falls down on the piled snow.
“Fuuuuup! “Your eyes are cold!”
Then it began to run wild, spitting out the eaten snow. If you just leave it alone, it will wake up on its own. It’s a heartwarming sight.
“Okay, breathe with your mouth open like that. Fire your breath all the way to the top of the hill! weakly! Towards the eyes!”
“You mean breath? “Bresranii, not sleep?”
That’s what I say, but this dragon is the one who follows what I say.
Rurin rubbed his eyes and started using his breath. The eyes disappear at the location where the breath was fired. Eyes were created very easily.
