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.”

My hair must have dried, and I felt good after drinking half a glass of whiskey. I jumped on the bed and lay down. Rurin pours out the beer, packs the can, and comes in next to me.

“Go to your room and sleep. And your hair isn’t completely dry yet?”

“I’m not sleepy.”

“I’m not sleepy!”

“What the fuck? “What is that!”

So I used the language of my hometown again.

“Okay then, let’s compete again today.”

“Hehe, good! “I won’t lose today!”

Recently, I have been playing various games before going to bed for my stubborn dragon who refuses to leave my room.

The win/loss record is 18 wins and 15 losses, a slight advantage.

If Rurin wins, she just sleeps next to me without worrying about what she does. Then, before I know it, Rurin starts wiggling and falls asleep in my arms.

If I win, Lurin will be kicked out to her room.

Of course, this is not the end of the dragon. Even if I chase it out, it will soon crawl into my room at dawn. There are many times when you don’t notice the creeping thing itself when you’re sleeping rough, but when you see it in the morning, it’s always there.

So it may seem like there is no need to make bets, but in fact, there is a clear difference.

Recently, I have trouble sleeping when this dragon is squirming next to me. I don’t know why. No, I don’t want to know.

Anyway, in order to have a comfortable sleep, you have to get rid of it first. It doesn’t matter because it comes in the middle, after I’ve already fallen asleep. As long as it doesn’t disturb your sleep, it’s fine.

First of all, falling asleep is important. Sleeping comfortably.

Today’s bet is a hometown game called Jenga. Build a tower with small wooden bricks and remove them one by one. It is a game where the one who knocks down the tower loses.

Gonggi Nori was completely sealed after suffering such a perfect defeat last time. It’s Lurin’s hidden talent, but it’s also a talent that has no place to be displayed.

“You won yesterday, so today it’s me first!”

“Do whatever you want.”

Lulin knelt down on the floor with a serious face and began to remove the wooden brick in the middle. The central wooden brick slides out without much resistance.

“Whoa!”

Rurin smiles at me. It’s ridicule. That smile that says you should give it a try.

There is still room. I focused on Jenga at the bottom. In a squatting position, the center of gravity is on both knees.

“Hey man!”

I thought it disappeared from sight, but then it came back behind me and tickled the soles of my feet. Tickle with your fingers.

“It tickles! Is this damn dragon playing foul? Anyway, I learn bad things quickly. Of course, I still succeeded! Hehehe.”

“Are your feet made of iron? “If it tickles, you’re bound to fail!”

“You’re laughing. Just foul again. “I won’t leave you alone.”

Jooooooooo!

I made a foul and pulled the powerful dragon’s ball, but it dragged me away. The impression is rotting.

“sick! Let go of this! It’s my turn, so I hope you don’t touch it. “I decline you now.”

Lulin pushed away his arm with his hand, then put his knee on the ground and placed his hand on the wooden tower. Lurin’s fingers tremble slightly.

However, there is a saying in the world that says to give back as much as you receive. No, the right thing to do is to give back a little more than what you received.

Lurin is in a state of extreme concentration, something she doesn’t normally do at all. I quietly got up and went back. Up to this point, it’s the same as Lurin. But I’m not that soft. If you’re going to commit a foul, you have to do it right.

I came up behind Lulin and grabbed the end of her flowing hair. At that very moment, Lurin noticed me and her mouth pursed. That facial expression that purses one’s mouth and raises one’s eyebrows.

“Revenge!”

He brought the tip of her hair to the tip of her nose. And it rustles. Softly, softly.

“Huh? Etchu!”

Lulin ended up coughing from the tickling. Of course, the tower collapsed along with the wooden bricks I had picked up in my hand.

“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.
