456 Snow removal (1/2)
”Oh, there's snow...”
When I woke up in the morning and opened the window in the room trying to ventilate, the outside world was a funny stain.
Mountains, meadows and courtyards visible in the distance - all of which were packed with snow.
Looking up, it's snowing from the sky.
Apparently, it's been snowing since last night.
Taking the snow that was piling on the edge of the window, it's naturally cold.
But this cold was fresh and comforting.
A view of the snow that will shake for a year. Don't get emotional that it's been another season like this this this year.
From what I can do with ice magic, snow and ice are relatively familiar, but natural phenomena are different.
That also seems even more honorable when it becomes a phenomenon for a limited period of time.
Collect the snow on the edge of the window into a small sphere. If you make another one of those and superimpose it, you're done with the little snowman.
You're adorable just to keep it in line in the window like this.
”You're not even here.”
Satisfied as I lined up the snowman, I heard such a hurried whine.
Looking down, it looked like Sarah was looking for something in the courtyard.
”What's wrong, Sarah?
”Dear Alfried, No, it's... nothing.”
When I spoke, Sarah looked up at me and lied plainly.
No, you obviously didn't look like nothing. There seems to be a good amount of snow in my hair and clothes, and I guess I've been out there for a long time.
Nevertheless, is it embarrassing to have Sarah say it out loud? It's going to be a lot of volume to get you to my room from the courtyard.
”Wait a minute.”
I was wondering how Sarah was, so I went to the courtyard dressed in cold gear.
Of course, the fireball was left floating around to combat the cold.
”So, what's up?
”Uh, actually, I think I dropped the barn key...”
When I came to the courtyard and heard it out, Sarah honestly told me that she thought she couldn't be deluded.
”Uh, with all this snow, it's hard to find where it is.”
Even though, the keys are small. If there's snow on top of it, it'll be hard to find it.
You've been looking for the snow all along. Sarah's hands were red.
That looked painful, so I'll float the fireball beside Sarah as well.
”Look, now warm your hands”
”Oh, thank you”
Sarah gratefully started warming her hands close to the fireball.
”I wish Meena and Mel could help me find it too”
”I'm sorry to have you help me just in this snow. You might catch a cold.”
Surely it's hard for colleagues to look for lost things together in this cold and snow.
So Sarah was searching alone?
I'll help you.
”No, I can't ask Master Alfried to help me -”
”Yeah? You let me help you with the cleaning?
”... and apart from this”
Dare you say that mean, Sarah said that with her lips pointy.
Around telling me to turn away and mess with you, I seem aware of the contradictions.
Sarah and the others asked me to float the furniture psychically when I was cleaning.
And how is it different this time?
”It's okay because he says I want to. And with my magic, you'll soon find what you're looking for.”
With that said I move more fireballs and lick them over the snow.
The snow that had accumulated at the high temperatures of the fireball instantly melted and the path from the front door to the gate appeared snugly.
