101 – Mysterious creature on the snowy mountain

Even though the snow was swept away by the avalanche, the snowy mountain was still covered in pure white snow.

If it weren’t for the trees sticking out from between the white snow, it would be a world so white you wouldn’t even know the direction.

Well, people who are not familiar with mountains will get lost even if there are trees.

Like them, for example.

“Hey, is this really the right direction?”

The dark red haired girl, Le Pia, grumbled as she brushed the snow off her shoulder.

It was the aftermath of being hit directly by the snowdrift that remained on the tree because it hit the tree earlier.

“It may look strange because it’s going around a little bit, but this way is the right direction.”

“Huh? Why are you turning around?”

“Then did you think of crossing this mountain in a straight line? Your ankle won’t come out?”

The height and slope of the mountains in the mountainous area are no joke.

Of course, hiking trails for mountain climbers surround it as if drawing a curve.

The route we are going on now is based on that mountain trail, and it is the route that can cross several mountains safely and in a short time.

Le Pia looked up at the tall snow-covered mountain once, and then she exclaimed proudly.

“Whooping! This is our trained strength, so it’s nothing…”

“No, look behind you and say it again.”

I said, pointing at Le Pia with her finger.

After that, Rush, a young butler who follows Lufia, and…

“Ugh, sorry, Rush.”

“No, it’s my fault for not stopping you.”

She was Rosa, a woman who was being dragged on a sleigh while wearing thick clothes.

“There’s a subordinate behind you whose ankle is physically broken. Let’s climb that mountain?”

“Oops…”

Of course, she had the option of leaving her, but Le Pia rejected it categorically.

I can never leave her men behind?

Well, that’s why I made a little roundabout route as I hoped.

“So, ma’am, it was too much to keep Rosa on standby.”

“Yeah…But I read in a book that Assassins move around high places.”

…Was he an assassin?

For an Assassin, his form was a bit sloppy when he landed from a high place.

While thinking that, I looked at the woman lying on the sled.

She was wrapped in thick clothes because it was cold, but tears welled up inside her as if she felt sorry for her.

No matter how you look at it, it’s a bit like an Assassin…

“But Rosa is afraid of heights. She almost cried when I told her to go up high.”

“Ehhhhh… But I think first impressions are important…”

…Are you afraid of heights?

Anyway, apart from the old Assassin who was unable to fight because her ankle went out, the young butler’s fighting power was considerable.

I wonder if she is equal to Phyllis in terms of her simple frontal combat power.

Although she was unsure of the fighting power of the girl, Le Pia, the amount of magical power she felt in her body was considerable.

This is how much magic she can directly feel, wouldn’t it be pretty good if she showed off her skills?

Well, it seemed like there would be little chance for her to show off her skills.

Even if the monsters of the snowy mountains wake up from hibernation due to her avalanche.

“Hot!”

“Keee!!”

“Huh!!”

“Queek!!”

Filiana, Rush took care of it first.

“Yeah! It’s rush! Good job!”

Lupia could have cheered from behind.

“Ugh…Sorry for being a burden.”

Behind the sleigh I was holding, the junkassassin sobbed and apologized.

…Originally, Lepia should have held it while Rush was fighting, but that Golbin lady forgot about it several times and the sled almost slipped down the mountain several times, and I ended up holding it.

“Don’t worry. There aren’t very strong monsters around here anyway, so I can’t hold them for a few minutes.”

“Yes…Yes…”

Roza opened her mouth while watching the two fighting.

“By the way, that maid, you look amazing. Is that an Assassin too?”

“No, Phyllis is a maid.”

As a child, she used to admire Phyllis as she casually jumped up walls, ran on water and turned three or four times in the air.

I asked ‘Is Phyllis a ninja?’ Without realizing it, and what came back was probably ‘What is a ninja?’.

Anyway, after seeing some of the maids and butlers in the mansion besides Phyllis showing off such movements, I was dumbfounded and decided to just think ‘butlers and maids are like that’.

Even Luca, who was a maid training under Phyllis, climbed the wall casually, and that thought became stronger.

“Wow… The kingdom’s maids are amazing.”

Roza muttered that with a blank face.

But at her words, my small thoughts turned into conviction.

“That means you are not Kingdom people?”

“Oh.”

Rosa hurriedly shuts her mouth, but it’s already too late.

“Ugh…Ugh…I made another mistake…”

“No, I was guessing to some extent from my tone and accent. Don’t blame yourself too much.”

In fact, both Phyllis and I assumed that these people were foreigners.

Even people from the same country have strangely different accents and accents depending on the region.

I was putting it on hold because it was difficult to judge based on that alone, but this time I just changed it to certainty.

“So, what’s going on with the Count’s Highness in the Marcos Empire?”

“That…How could that…?!”

“Well, I guess the Marcos Empire was right.”

“Huh?!”

Is he really an Assassin?

Seeing Rosa, whose face was almost tearful, with her mouth shut, she stopped laughing.

“Well, I don’t intend to go into detail. I’ll keep your mistakes a secret.”

“Ooh…”

Actually, I don’t intend to investigate in detail.

I don’t know what they’re thinking about going to the county, but the county of Wentos isn’t that easy.

Meanwhile, Riel was struggling in the county.

Shirga, who had been quiet for a while, started swarming because she wanted to see her father.

“Abba!! Abaaa!!!”

“Sir… Sir, don’t worry daddy will be back soon!! Come on! Duk… Duk!!”

“Huhhhhh!!”

Riel tries to appease Syrr, who cries as if the mansion is about to explode.

She wanted to calm her down somehow, but Kyou didn’t come back the next day.

Of course, Cyr cried because he missed his father.

On that day, Riel also worked hard to appease Sir.

Sir cried so hard that Countess Sylvia asked her to take a break from her education and take care of him.

Afterwards, Riel heard from Count Wentos that her carriage was being delayed by an avalanche.

…If this continues, Shir will cry again tomorrow.

Sweat began to flow from Riel’s forehead.

However, the count’s expression was something more serious.

Seeing her Count’s face, Riel put her own worries aside for a moment and opened her mouth.

“Hey, Count? Is there something wrong with you?”

“Ah…Umm, that’s it…”

Count Cillian Wentos glanced at Countess Sylvia, who was sitting next to her.

Before long, Countess Sylvia, who caught her gaze, nodded her head, let out a sigh and opened her mouth.

“This avalanche will not be just an avalanche.”

“Yes? What do you mean by that?”

“In the first place, avalanches don’t happen often at this time of year, so this is probably…”

Eventually, at the words of Count Wentos, Riel opened her mouth in a daze.

She never dreamed that such a thing existed in the world.

Riel jumped up from her seat and said.

“So…Then shouldn’t we move the army right away?”

“Yes, but I need to contact the Marquis of Brune first.”

The place where the army needs to be moved is, of course, the place where it meets the Marquis of Brune.

If you don’t contact the Marquis family and move the army there, you don’t know what you’ll hear.

Even the army of the Earl of Wentos, which boasts a strong military power.

“That… I guess.”

Riel, who understood Count Wentos’ words, calmed down and sat down again.

She said too hastily.

Even with her education as the next countess, she was too emotional to comment.

She was Riel, her face blushing slightly.

But then, I heard someone knocking on the door.

“Come in.”

It was one of the maids who listened to the Count.

However, unlike ordinary maids, she was a maid who gave off an unusual aura and gave off a feeling like Phyllis.

Seeing her in her, Countess Silvia opened her mouth.

“What’s going on?”

“A letter has arrived from Phyllis.”

As the maid put her hand forward, there was a white owl hanging her letter from her feet.

The maid stepped in front of the Countess, bowed her head and held out her hand, and the Countess took the letter from her owl’s paw.

The Countess opens the letter and reads it.

As she read her letter, her eyes widened slightly and she let out a long sigh.

“Madam, what’s wrong?”

As Count Wentos asked, Countess Sylvia said.

“Kyo is coming here riding a mountain.”

Count Wentos stiffened at those words, and Riel dropped the teacup she was holding in her hand.

“Phyllis.”

“Yes, boy.”

I said to Phyllis, who was next to her, looking at the scene in front of me with a blank face.

“What I’m looking at and what you’re looking at are the same, right?”

At that, Phyllis was quiet for a moment, then opened her mouth.

“…If what you’re seeing is a strange creature half-buried in the snow, that’s right.”

“Damn, that’s real.”

As I said that, I looked at a monster the size of a building in front of me.

Lupia, who was behind, said.

“Awesome! Is this a dragon? It’s the first time I’ve seen the real thing!! Dragons live in the mountains in the Kingdom!!”

No, it’s the first time I’ve seen it.

And he has no intention of hiding that he is a foreigner.

“A sudden avalanche at a time like this, I thought there would be something, but a dragon?”

When I said something dumbfounded, Phyllis nodded her head in agreement.

How do you beat a monster like that?

Fortunately, our existence was not noticed because we were buried in the snow and slept soundly.

I turned to the group behind me and said.

“Now, everyone, calm down, hold your breath and slowly back away. Let’s turn around a bit and go.”

With that said, Le Pia suddenly opened her eyes wide and opened her mouth.

“Oh, but…”

“I know you have something to say, but now…?”

“Isn’t he looking at us right now?”

“Quietly slipped back…What?”

I didn’t understand Lefia’s words for a moment, so I slowly turned around.

His bright yellow eyes were looking down at us.

Such crazy.
