Chapter 31 (1/2)

Canned Oden

The winter at Seiryu’s lakeside is quite harsh; it’s not quite to the degree of japan’s snowy areas, but there’s regularly about 5 c up Any more than this and it’s possible the accumulated snoill crush the tents, so it’s seldom that more than 1 meter of snow accumulates … I hope

It appears that the round for the winter and the coate them or collect materials from them are rare, so it’s standard to just hole-up in the co oden

It’s just, this year there’s the reconstruction work, so there’s no lack of work to go around the corate to other levels inter co shopkeeper, milk tea in one hand, told me happily

As usual, I’ construction work, and in the evening I’oods in front of the Hunter association

Before the ties, and after that I line up food; that’s the pattern I use I understand that the air outside is cold, but I don’t have the function to feel temperature, so I don’t suffer at all

A-, I’ a function to sense ateneration in vending machines, there’s also those that est products based on that

“U-, it’s so cold, it’s so cold Soup and stew, stew”

There are few people ould co cold wind in the night Fro the current situation, there’s no doubt that’s the gatekeeper, Karios

“Gols, what are you gonna get today?”

“Sweet tea”

“You always get that”

“You always get the stewed skewers too”

So today it’s Karios and Gols who are in charge of the gates Thank you for your hard work in this cold weather

After the two of theht hot products, they stuck them in their breast pockets and the pockets in their clothes for a while, and as a result of using them in place of hand warmers, they established the heat of the products a little

“It’s warm and toasty today too, na Thanks, Hakkon”

“I give you my thanks”

“Thank you very much”

Knowing that I’ulation, they always do this, so I give them my thanks

Ever since I cae words with the eneral it’s Karios that talks; me and Gols only make responsive interjections

The backs of the two, rounded out with thick coats and collars stood up, disappeared into the darkness Looking at theate, but I refuse to leave Rairls’ tents; I pass the night tilat this fixed spot, and seldom move from it

Every ti red enter the corner of my field of vision

Aa, again, huh?

It’s a single wo, it’s not a short-sleeve dress, but a loose-fitting, long-sleeved, long-length dress; I think she’s probably wearing thick clothes underneath

Around her neck is wrapped a scarf that’s also coloves too are both the same red tint But as for that woman’s face, I can’t say much

With long, black hair that stretches down her back, her bangs reach the tip of her nose Heryou can see, is also lacquered with bright red rouge

Standing still in the ht with clothes all one red color is an eerie wo where you would normally let out a scream and run away, but I can’t move, and I don’t have a function to scream, either

And anyway – – I’ve gotten used to it

This woht

It’s already rare that I get custoht, but with this outfit Even if I don’t want to, I re around at night, but if you ask e to call out to this woman, I’d be a bit troubled for the answer

Like always, she buys a can of oden, and then su- disappears into the darkness

There’s a guy who’s been reincarnated as a vending hosts However, that wo Furthermore, the moment she takes the canned oden, heroden maniac

No matter what kind of person it is, the fact that she’s a custo – – no, set-up1 like that in a place until no one’s around seems very sad and lonesome, so that calms me down

Anyway, today seems cold as well, na

“Fuu-, daht …”

“Give it up”

Today too, the bald-headed Karios and crew-cut Gols are on guard all night Although it’s just auardshts that rare, dangerousup, they’re often put on rotation

“So cooold If I had another scarf to wrap up in, I’d feel better, ze”

“As always, it’s an unpleasant color”

“Hahn-, I don’t care about your opinion My lucky color is red, see A long tiht told me that”

Honestly, I don’t really knohat to think about a griht-red scarf, but to each his own It’s the best for the concerned party wears things that he likes

“Speaking of red, there’s this rumor”

“Aa, the one about the woman in red, huh? Recently I’ve heard there’s been a lot of people saying they’ve seen her late at night If it’s a harotta exorcise it”

In this world, there are ghosts, the objects of fear, but they’re existences that ht need to be exterminated, huh? As expected of another world These two people aren’t showing frightened behavior at all

That ruhost is, without a doubt, that wohost at first, so I fully understand why there’s that kind of rumor

The two men took up their usual canned oden and milk tea in their hands, and quickly ht before the two’s figures disappeared, the usual red-clothed woman cut into my field of vision

It ht be a little late, but I just realized the conditions for that woht after those two show up And then, clasping the canned oden like that, she chases after those two in the direction of the gate and disappears

As you would expect, with all this information laid before irl probably like Karios She buys his favorite canned oden, and she coordinates her entire outfit to the red color he said he likes

That stalker-likeover him from afar so she doesn’t mean any harm by it … probably

As she , cold wind blows, and it disturbed her bangs I gasped at the face that came into view under it

Clear eyes and a well-shaped nose Her expression with her cheeks dyed red is quite alluring to see It was to the degree that I unconsciously used the vending machine security camera to record it

“Karios-sama…”

Her voice, that I heard for the first tiht wind drowned it out, but you can feel the heat of her feelings in it

I’m certain that Karios doesn’t have a lover or wife, na If she goes for him pretty seriously I think he’d fall for her, but it doesn’t look like this woe for that And then there’s theI can do but warmly watch over her

Clutching the canned oden, tottering after Karios, once again she walks off in the direction of the gate
