Chapter 92 – The Mindset of an Ice and Snow Worker (3)

The inside of the chariot was filled with silence.
It was so surprising that I wondered if the universe had come to a standstill at the wonderful moment when me, Lehel, Ice and Snowball, and her pet came face to face with the lion.

“…”
“…”
“…”
“…”

In addition to the rattling sound, what occupies most of my five senses is that bundle that I don’t know what kind of biochemical weapon it is.
A round solid object, several times larger than a watermelon, was lying next to Esther’s thigh, and it gave off a crazy stench.
The destination of this is Parencia. Are they really going to start another war?
Her passengers also saw her as she passed by and frowned at her arrogance.

Coo!

‘Wow…’

Every time the car body shakes, I feel sick and my uvula naturally squirms.
In my throat, Adela said she would work at her canteen, and the milk tea she had brought for the first time when she came with Erzébet was trying to greet her sister with all her might.
Lehel next to her had a similarly distressed expression, so it seemed like she was in trouble.
However, the two men and women across from them were staring straight ahead without any distraction.

Truly the Empress of Polar Ice.
Esthelle Sylvester de Rochoire.
She has complete control over her own emotions.

Even though he was glaring coldly at me, he didn’t seem to have any intention of attacking me right away.

In reality, it is very dangerous to use magic carelessly on a running chariot.
The chariot, which rushed at incredible speeds, destroying everything in front of it, was quite shaken on the inside, but from the outside, it was just a meteorite racing on the ground.
If even a small crack appears in the car body, a major accident like an airplane can occur in an instant.
Therefore, it was a wrong move from her perspective to pull out a spear right now.

— What the fuck is that smell? If you’re drunk, you can sleep at a nearby inn. Who throws up in a chariot?
— Brother, are you okay? Let’s go to first class quickly.

Snapping.

At that moment, as the couple passing through the passageway of the guest room finished speaking, my ears caught a subtle bursting sound.
As I follow the sound, I see that the floor under the table where my slender legs stand is frozen.
When I looked closely, I saw that Esther’s eyes were trembling.

— Wow, the dog shit is really vibrating. I don’t know what kind of people they are, but I just…
— Oh brother, why are you like this? I’m on my way to meet my brother, so just be patient.
— Ha, indeed. If it were that guy Ansen, I would never have put up with it.

Damn.

Having no emotions… Right?
I became a little anxious.
Regardless of why I came back to Parencia, it seemed like if things continued like this, the entire chariot would be destroyed before we even arrived.
Why did we meet at this time…

— That won’t work. My brother will go and say something.
— Ah, let’s just go!! Come on!!

Jump up.

As if he couldn’t stand it anymore, Ice Snow Gong stood up.
Not only the life of a man with a good girlfriend, but also the lives of all passengers on board are about to be in danger.
Inevitably, I was the first to open my mouth.

“What did you come here for?”

***

At Lewis’s boldness, Lehel unconsciously raised her head and peeked at his face through the wide-brimmed hat.

Speak informally? And that’s just a store owner to the Grand Duke?
Lehel was well aware of Lewis’ strength.
But that didn’t mean she could speak informally to Ice Snow and block her path.

“Get out of the way.”
“You ask why I came?”

Esthel Sylvester de Rocheire is a magician whose skill is currently considered to be unrivaled in Penheim.
The hope of a kingdom that has surpassed the era of Yunhoegong and Meikyonggong, who lost much of their power during the Great War, and the previous Ice and Snowgong and Illusionous Gong, who died completely.
Esther, who still slays demons on the front lines of Lake Sen Rir to this day, was renowned for her cruel hands as well as her beautiful appearance.

Is there any need to explain further just because her name is sometimes mentioned along with Terra Erniesten?
Now Lewis was treating such a woman as if he were interrogating her.

“Buy, buy, buy, I’m the boss… !”

If a fight breaks out, she can’t help herself.
Although her appearance was just the opposite, Lehel was already an aging sorceress in this life.
She may be stronger than an average wizard, but she can’t fight like an archduke.

“I don’t need to explain why to you.”
“Okay? “Then what about him?”

However, Louis put his hand under the robe, grabbed Lehel’s armpit, and held it in front of the snowball.

“Don’t you know who it is?”
“This is my first time seeing your face.”
“He is the chairman of the Parencia Academy that you messed with last time.”
“Hey! No! “I’m not that kind of person!!”
“That is Lord Reincarnation, the owner of the Merak Magic Tower and one of the five Grand Dukes, and the holder of the Four Leaf Medal who saved the capital from the Great War. Would you like to taste a taste of the meteorite-dropping Goyomado? Should we have an anti-aircraft battle here?”
“Hiyaaaaagh——!?”

Lehel reacted like a cat that had been hit by water, and she struggled desperately.
When she finally escaped his embrace and hid behind her, she saw an ice and snow ball staring at her.

“Oh, that’s… !”
“Hmm, I see.”
“Yes?”
“Siegfried.”
“Ancient!!”

Esther’s subordinate behind him drew his sword.
Lehel, startled, hid behind Louise’s back again, and after a while, she opened her eyes to something held out in front of her.

“Take it.”
“Huh?”

It was an unidentifiable stone that was the source of the smell.

“It’s ambergris. “It’s a by-product vomited by a sperm whale.”
“Yes… ?”
“This will be the compensation for destroying the academy. Take it.”
“Aren’t you going to compensate me for destroying my store?”
“… “I came here for one purpose.”

As if she didn’t want to give it to him, Esther naturally changed the topic and answered Louis’ question.

“It is to rehabilitate Adela Sylvester.”

Only then were Lehel and Louise able to hear why she was in her former carriage.
Adella, who had awakened her unique magic on her own, asked for help to teach her Roshyar’s ice magic.
It meant that we weren’t here for war this time, but that didn’t mean our anxiety went away.

“Oh~. Okay?”

However, after hearing Esther’s story, Louis seemed to be in a very good mood, not just relaxed for some reason.
He even approached Esther without hesitation and tapped her on the shoulder.

“Give it a try. “Don’t push yourself too hard.”
“President?”
“Oh my, you’ve already arrived? We’ll stop by so work hard! Hmm… If you feel like you’re really behind, you can come and ask for a favor. Then cheer up!”

He was grabbed by Lewis’s hand and got off the chariot along with a lump of coppery ambergris.
Lehel couldn’t help but ask him why he was smiling.

“Why are you in such a good mood, boss? “Parenzia may become dangerous again.”
“They say it’s not true, but what can I do? It’s a country where you have freedom of residence, but you can’t stop them from coming. Rather than that.”

Lehel swallowed her saliva without realizing it as he pulled her closer without being heard by others.
The wind passing by my ears tickled me and I felt like a fish pulled out of the water.

“They’re all screwed.”
“What… Is it okay?”

A dependable person who can protect himself even in front of the Grand Duke.
A man who is mischievous on the one hand, but shows his strength to the fullest when it matters.

“I’ve seen a lot of people set up Adella to try to make her into someone, but she never takes it easy. The person who helped me the most was the princess, but because of her, I almost lost my job as student council president, and it was also reported in the newspaper that my grades plummeted. “I’d rather teach my dog ​​to speak.”
“Is that so?”

A heart as hard and dull as the ambergris he holds in his hand.
The sense of life was a dizzying sweetness, like the fresh scent of earth blooming within.

“Don’t worry too much, we’ll just head back.”

His hair tickled my cheek as I listened to his voice.

“Oh, and thank you for the Magic Cube?”
“Yes? Rice, don’t say anything! Haha… !”

Lehel felt fortunate that it was able to hide her bright red, burning ears, which she could tell even without looking.

“Well, it’s a joint name! Me and the boss… !”

***

‘He was stranger than he looked.’

It was a golden opportunity, but the location was bad.
Esther clicked her tongue as she looked at Lewis, who ran away like the wind as soon as the chariot stopped.

“Shall we trace it?”
“Done.”

A running chariot is dangerous.
If it were a demon, they would have killed him on the spot, ignoring safety.
However, the current Lewis was in a position where he could never forgive, but was not someone who could immediately make a life-or-death decision.

“He said he was the owner of the store, so he must have been with the chairman. “You can visit us at any time while you are in Parenzia.”
“All right.”

This time she crossed the gates of Farencia, not leading her troops but only her henchmen.
After ordering Siegfried to convey her message to the Ruhillen family, she headed to the meeting place mentioned in her letter.
Behind the grounds of the Parencia Academy Bayou Building, near a shallow lake lined with nobles’ villas.

During the vacation, there was a girl who bloomed like a flower in a quiet flat area without family members or even employees to manage the site.
Jeopuk, Jeopuk——
When the quiet footsteps and wind noise do not disturb the conversation between the two people.

“It’s been a while, sister.”
“It’s been a while, Adela.”

Esther turned to face her only sister.
A variety of complex emotions were tangled in her sister’s gaze as she looked at herself.
But in the end she said no other greetings, and went straight to her business.

“I have awakened my unique magic power.”
“I heard,” She said. “It was written in the letter.”
“But I’m still not familiar with how to use it.
“Of course. “It’s not a magic that can be easily embodied.”
“I need help.”
“If you want.”

Cheaeng!

A cold spear sticks into the heated ground.
At the same time, her eyes turn to the heart of her younger brother who left her family.
A badge with the family emblem.
Esther declared, waving her blue hair.

“As long as you prove that you inherit Roshoar’s blood, the family will not turn away from you. Say it “What do you need and what are you pursuing?”

She remembered when her own heart was ripped out.
In order to drive out her demons from this continent, and to relieve the sorrow of her late father, who passed away without completing the task.
To rebuild the family and become the spear of Fenheim.
To illuminate this hellish world with magic.

She pulled out the cold spear that would become the flash and held it until it shattered.

“What kind of world is the magic you created?”
“…”

Standing steadfastly and undisturbed, she waited for her sister’s answer.
And soon, Adela’s determination to call her here from the edge of her kingdom was revealed.

“Recently, there’s a girl who keeps sticking up next to the teacher.”

What?

“You’re smiling pretentiously like a fox, and it’s so ugly. But if this continues, I might lose my seat next to the teacher.”

What?

“Oh, and this is the only way I can use magic.”

The magic weapon he took out as if to show what he was so proud of was an ice pick shorter than the toy wand that children use when they first learn magic.

“Please help me.”

In Esther’s memory of facing that shamelessness, Lewis’s final expression flashed by.
