66 Chapter 66 - No Weather Like Snow Weather (1/2)

Gren looked out his window at the snow piled up on the streets.The guild was kept snow-free using his water magic.It was good practice for him and it allowed him to become useful.Gren put on his winter gear--a brown jacket made from wool, a pair of black jeans, a black knit hat, and a pair of brown leather boots.There were also some brown leather gloves but they'd get in the way if he put them on now.

Gren was a bit excited since today was a special day; Gren would be participating in his first mission.The reward wasn't much but the guild got a request that only he could fulfill.A section of the slums had been destroyed by the heavy snowfall and Gren's magic would be needed.

Gren went downstairs to meet up with his team for today's mission.Jasmine wanted to join Gren on his first mission but she was defeated by the cold weather and needed to stay indoors; a few of the other women joined her in hibernation thanks to their nonhuman characteristics.

The first to arrive were the two kobolds with different fur colors.They were dog-like people the height of goblins that couldn't speak like humans.They're still almost as intelligent as humans but their mouths had the same shape as a dog's mouth.Gren picked them for his first mission because they proved to be very helpful and well-behaved during the last couple of months.

”Good morning, Noir.Good morning, Choco.You two got up pretty early today.”The two of them didn't have names so Gren got to name them.Noir had black fur while Choco had brown fur.They were nice girls but Choco becomes a bit overexcited when eating and Noir didn't handle stress well.

Gren decided to cook something while waiting for the other women in his team.He had been trying to use his fire spells for cooking and lately he has been doing well with it.The spell book titled Fireballs and Flamethrowers was more of an introductory book that covered more than just the attack spells that Gren assumed it would have.

Ahk's last mission was to hunt down a bear that was preventing people from getting firewood and he still had some of its meat left.Gren was cutting the meat into cubes so that they'd fit onto skewers when a grey fur-covered arm reached over his shoulder to grab one.”Hey, wait for me to cook it first.”

The person that grabbed the raw meat cube was a wolf beastman woman.Unlike regular beastmen she was completely covered in fur like the kobolds were.”Eh ay oo I eh”(it tastes good like this)

”I can't understand you when you're eating but I keep telling you that raw meat isn't safe to eat.You're going to get sick one of these days.”This isn't the first time that Gren had to tell Luna not to eat raw meat.

Luna swallowed and ruffled Gren's head, causing his hat to almost come off.”I've never gotten sick before from eating raw meat.You humans are too fragile.Besides, if I did get sick then you could just heal me.”

”That's not the point.I won't always be here to heal you.”Gren knew it was pointless to argue with her so he gave up as he readjusted his hat.”If you do get sick then just let me know.”
