Chapter 308: Brothers Get Scolded
Snow continued to fall and accumulate right in front of me. The investigation team, observing the scene, were patting each other on the back and praising each other for their efforts. The knights who had briefly stopped earlier seemed to be getting scolded by Lionel.
“Well done, Cain-niisan. You were quite aggressive in advancing forward at one point, so I was a bit nervous internally.”
“You’re observant, Julius. Keep it a secret from everyone. I don’t know why, but my armor didn’t get dirty. Thanks to that, I was able to swing my sword without hesitation.”
He smiled widely, looking pleased, but Lionel is really watching Cain-niisan’s movements. Once the knights who were being scolded are done, Cain-niisan will be next.
“Julius-sama’s magic is truly impressive.”
“Indeed. To melt that much snow over such a large area.”
“Perhaps we were unnecessary. Hahaha.”
“…”
The mages are making a fuss. It seems they’ve noticed what I did. I suppose that’s understandable. No one else was using Overheat magic. I need to find a way to cover this up.
Nero is looking at me with shining eyes, and the pencil in his hand is moving rapidly. I don’t think there’s that much to note down, but maybe he’s keeping a diary or something? It might be good to check the content later.
“Well, that’s because I focused solely on melting the snow. If you use magic that also includes attacks like everyone else, it wouldn’t end up like that.”
“Is that really the case? Even if we used Overheat magic, I don’t think it would result in that much melting.”
“That’s right. That’s why I limited the magic to fire-element attack spells.”
This isn’t good. It’s like adding fuel to the fire. I should remain silent. The “silence is golden” strategy. But Cain-niisan wasn’t going to let me get away with it.
“Could it be that the snow melted so much because of Julius’s magic!?”
“Uh, well, maybe?”
“Hmm, I’ll have to ask Father about this when we get back…”
“Cain-sama, I need to speak with you.”
“Li-Lionel!?”
So, it was Cain-niisan’s turn next. However, Lionel arrived at a pretty good time. There’s now a chance that the earlier conversation might get muddled. Good job, Lionel.
Snow continued to fall and accumulate before us. The investigation team, watching the scene, were patting each other on the back and congratulating each other for their efforts. The knights who had stopped for a moment earlier seemed to be getting scolded by Lionel.
“Next is Julius-sama, so please wait a moment.”
“…Yes.”
With Lionel’s smiling face, Cain-niisan was being led away, looking flustered. Now it’s my turn. Even though I haven’t done anything wrong. Sigh.
In the end, I was scolded when we returned to the base. They said if I could use such magic, I should have told them beforehand. They said they could have come up with a different plan if they had known.
That’s true. If I had mentioned the magic armor and Overheat beforehand, we could have surrounded the Snow Worm. The knights could have fought more safely. I need to reflect on this and use it as a lesson for next time.
“We part ways with the Snow Spirit here, then.”
“Yes. The snow has been restored to its original state, so my power is no longer needed. Don’t forget the promise.”
“Two bags of dried fruit, right? I’ll definitely offer them.”
“Please write my name down.”
“Understood. I’ll do that.”
Writing the name will ensure it goes to that spirit? Or perhaps it’s to prevent it from being taken by other spirits? The “shrine” system is full of mysteries.
After saying this, the Snow Spirit departed. Even though this season must be busy with snow management, it must have strained itself for us. I’ll make it three bags instead of two.
The base was becoming busy in preparation for tomorrow’s departure. Cleaning up trash, organizing food and supplies. Of course, they were also treating the injuries from the recent battle. Fortunately, there were no serious injuries.
And those who were injured were becoming lively again after drinking the magic potions I made. …I hope they really just wanted to drink it and nothing more.
At the end of my gaze,Cain-niisan was happily drinking a basic health recovery potion with a great smile. It’s fine to drink it, but I’m worried about potential side effects. Sister-in-law Mika must be drinking it too, which makes me even more concerned.
The evening turned into a small feast. Everyone successfully defeated the Snow Worm. And though it wasn’t confirmed, there was a consensus that the Snow Wolves appearing in the village was likely because they were driven out by the Snow Worm. So, for now, we were relieved.
“I wish I could drink alcohol too.”
“No, Cain-niisan. You’re still a child until you graduate from the academy.”
“I know. But it looks so delicious. And it seems so much fun.”
Cain-niisan looked enviously at the knights who were singing cheerfully. But, Brother, we’re not home yet. Drinking too much alcohol could make it hard to respond if something happens. Look at Lionel. He’s making a grim face.
As soon as dinner was over, I contacted Miss Fabienne.
“We defeated the Snow Worm. We’re heading back now.”
It was a brief conversation, but I felt like she was somewhat reassured. When I get back to the mansion, I need to bring a token of apology to Miss Fabienne for causing her worry.
Glass pens, fountain pens. And hot cookies and magic stone hand warmers are also needed. It’s going to be a busy time when I get back. I can only hope Rosalia hasn’t used up all the materials. I’m counting on you, Rosalia.
