Volume 2 - CH 359

When the 50/50 gacha is the weather, no, not in this chapter but IRL

Chapter 8-31. Small Hut

On the way, the wind suddenly began to increase.

Aside from Lacc, Houen could no longer fly any further, so we had no choice but to head out on foot.

I have never hiked in the snow, so now we were taking full advantage of our skills to climb the mountain.

First, I asked Houen to keep his flame wings out to ease the cold.

I used my land spirit to make the path easier to walk on the snow.

In addition, I put out an infinite water manipulation to freeze it and use it as a wall to keep out the wind.

It turned out that I could move them even if they were frozen, so I made four of them to protect against the wind for the time being.

Because the walls are transparent and the ground is made easy to walk on, our walking speed is reasonably fast.

We were able to move steadily toward our destination.

However, there was one problem.

DODODODODO!!!!

“Ugh!”

“Ouren, are you okay?”

“That was close……. The wind here is too strong. ……”

It was so strong that it rolled up the snow.

In addition, the icicles that were being built up by the wind.

This was limiting our movement significantly.

Although it was easy to walk, it was hard to go forward.

We’ve been stuck like this for about an hour now.

It was impossible to beat nature, although I thought there was something we could do about it.

Yet, since we were surely on our way to our destination, we had no choice but to trust Lize and keep walking.

Lize said we were almost there, but all we could see were icebergs and snow.

Is this really the right road?

“Soon ……. It’s just up ahead.”

“Over there?”

It seemed that we were already close.

Relieved at this, I continued on again.

Then the strong wind suddenly stopped.

There was no more gurgling sound, and I didn’t even feel the cold anymore.

Everyone noticed the change, and Houen, who was walking at the front of the group, first took a look to see what was going on outside.

He peeked out from the ice created by the frozen infinite water manipulation.

“There’s a hut. No wind, and it’s warm. ……”

Hearing this, I put the ice I had controlled on the ground.

A strange space, warm even though there was really no wind and snow on the ground.

And at the end of it, there was a small, pointy-roofed hut.

I was impressed that they could build a house in such a place.

Hauling the building materials must have been hard work.

I focused my haze inside the hut.

And then I felt something there meet my eyes.

I felt a cold, horrified look in its eyes.

Immediately I retracted the haze, but I still felt its gaze piercing toward me.

“…… someone, inside, …….”

In my words, all of us prepared ourselves.

Only Lize that he had seen her before, but she didn’t know her at all.

This is the first time they’ve actually met each other.

What will happen …… depends on the other party’s moves.

A moment later, the door to the hut slowly opens.

But nobody comes out from inside.

But from that open door, I could sense that it was inviting us in.

I take the lead, placing my hand on the Kageorochi.

Uchikage, with his rake extended, followed behind him, and the other three and one of the animals slowly followed us.

We then stepped into the hut.

First thing I felt was a good smell.

A very familiar smell that I had smelled somewhere before.

“…… matcha ……?” (TL: Green Tea)

Lize muttered to herself.

If someone told me, I would have thought it smelled like that.

As soon as we noticed it, we were in the guest room without knowing it.

The scenery suddenly changed.

In front of us, there was a large cup of green tea and Japanese confections.

There were enough for all of us.

But only Lacc seemed to have been tossed out of the room.

I could hear the voices of those who were looking out for us.

“……”

“……”

A warning.

I unseath the mouth of Kageorochi, and Uchikage takes off his blindfold and concentrates.

Alena also took out a small dagger and readied it, while Houen and Lize kept a watchful eye on the rear of us.

Fighting in such a small space could be difficult.

In addition, the opponent has the skill to teleport us.

While I thought it would be tricky,…… no matter how long it took, they didn’t seem to be attacking us.

“…… C’mon ……, can y’all chill,……?”

Everybody reacts to that voice that broke the silence.

Uchikage was about to move by reflex, but I stopped him with one hand.

Then I took a serious look at the devil.

A short, pale devil.

She possesses golden horns and wings, which are battered.

But she is adorned with jewellery and a necklace-like object to hide them.

She wears beautiful, white, elegant clothes and exudes nobility with careful movements befitting her attire.

Her red eyes shining through them were very imposing, even in her bright clothes.

Houen instinctively feels it.

This feeling was the same as when he met Atrak.

He felt an unbelievably eerie feeling from Atrak, and it was the same this time.

Perhaps it was due to the fact that she was dressed like an angel even though she was a devil, but it was re-enacted.

The devil is too beautiful.

Everyone’s thoughts stop as they see the way she stands, so much so that they are afraid to call her a devil.

I wondered if this was the Majin.

This is the first time I have seen you. Reincarnator and his companions. I am Lurimkos. I am the wife of Atrak, the Majin.
