The snow is melting, and I feel like itâs getting warmer these days.
Elna-kaasan is saying ăItâs getting warmer isnât ităŒă lately, but for me who is sensitive to cold, itâs kind of natural for midwinter and Iâm not in the same opinion.
And Sylvio-niisan is also of the same opinion as me isnât it, I mean these days, he has been spending many days in my room which is warmed by magic. https://scelusceleris.blogspot.com/
Thatâs okay. Sylvio-niisan is just reading his book and studying quietly. But then, another person which is my sister, maybe she has spare time with the exception of training, come to my room and barge in with the reason being itâs warm.
Even though the living room is warm and have a big fireplace.
And when it became like that, Iâll basically just become her opponent, and just when Iâm about to make sweets â itâs extremely annoying â so what the heck are you doing here. Recently, she also tries to take me along for training.
Ever since the day we have that snowball fight, it feels like Eleonora-neesan have been training excessively. I wonder what she is doing, itâs as if danger is approaching me quietly.
She already knows what happen to the Ice Statue back then were the village kids doing, not my fault, but maybe because she doesnât like losing to me, now and then she called out to me to have a rematch. But well, I managed to evade it by running away.
ăCan you leave me alone for a moment.
Thatâs why Iâm going to make a little castle of my own, Kotatsu1.
ăNow then, thanks to Elman-san making it, I manage to get a table with just the right size .
He looked awfully tired somehow, as he seems to be busy with repairing houses these days.
ăWas it time for the houses in the village to be rebuilt as theyâre already old?
Oh well, Iâll leave those kind of things to Nord-tousan, right now itâs about Kotatsu.
When I put a blanket in the table, the approximate shape is there, but the problem is how to add the heat source.
ăSay if I put a fireball inside a basket, it will be warm temporarily.
But then, how do I sleep?
If I lose control of the fireball, then the basket, blanket, and even I will be burnt to nothing.
Thatâs not good.
If thatâs the case, how about enclosing it with metal so it wonât burn?ăAh, this is also not a good idea. I would get scalded just by touching it forget about entering the kotatsu comfortably.
ăKotatsu is a holy ground. There should be no blood shed on it.\năThatâs right, it should be a safe and comfortable castle for me, and me alone.
ăThat being the case, what should I do.
ăI tried to think of any good idea or magic, but thereâs hardly any that comes to mind.
So thatâs why Iâm trying to look for some hints by reading a large number of books, but I canât find anything notable written. Elementary-level magic is just boring.
When Iâm in the middle of browsing, I came across the term âmagic toolâ, described on the explanation part.
ăRight, speaking of magic tools, you just write the magic formula and then you only need to put magic power, a convenient item! https://scelusceleris.blogspot.com/
ăAll one has to do is to put some magic power into the magic tool so it will release heat and itâs done.
Thinking so, I searched all over the study room for books about magic tool, but I couldnât find them.
There are so many books about magic in the study, so I thought there would be some books about magic tools but there doesnât seem to be any.
Just to be sure, I also ask Elna-kaasan if there is any book about magic tools, but it seems there are none in the study.  https://scelusceleris.blogspot.com/
ă In this case, I have no other choice than to ask Nord-tousan to buy one for me.
Deciding so, I talk to the sitting Nord-tousan at the table of the living room.
ăNord-tousan.ă
ăNo.ă
ăBut I havenât said anything yet ?ă
ăItâs too hasty for father to deny me just because I called him with his name.
ăAnyhow, I sat down in front of him in order to negotiate.
ăYou want books of magic tools, right?ă
ăCutting into the conversation, is Elna-kaasan who sits next to Nord-tousan. I see, so thatâs why father knows.
But, why did you turn me down? From cooking recipe to Reversi. With all of the deal with Toriela Firm, the relationship between them and Slowlett family should be something like a bosom friends. And a lot of their gains should be because of my contribution. Could it be that as a child, I canât ask for something expensive? https://scelusceleris.blogspot.com/
ăBut why not?ă
ăFor ordinary people, books about magic tools are something expensive that they can not afford to buy, but thanks to Al and Bartolo, and also Toriela, there is no problem concerning money.ă
ăThen why?ă \năWhere do you think you can get magic books from?ă
ăThat is, um, someplace like the Royal Capital Magic School isnât it?ă
ăWhen I asnwered so, Nord-tousan calmly nod.
So, somehow I have a bad feeling about this.
ăYes, the Royal Capital. And the Royal Capital is far from here. And Toriela Firm, which came regularly to this territory has just arrived the other day. They will not come again for some time.ă
ăChe. Truly a person who canât be employed just when you need it the most.
ăIf they got contacted by the Slowlett Family, to whom they have a friendly relationship with, theyâll come back right away, right? ă
When I resolutely answered so, Nord-tousan and Elna-kaasan shows a slight impressed expression.
ăBut Al. Iâm sorry to say, but thatâs impossible.ă
ăEven if we contact them using fast horse, is it not possible for them to bring it before spring?ă
ăElna-kaasan put her hand on her cheek, making a gesture to think.
Sheâs probably calculating the schedule in her mind.
Even so, before spring, huh. Winter will have passed by that time.
ăAnd the season after that will be for making cooler or electric fan.
ăWell, I guess it canât be helped that they will be late considering the time and distance. Itâs not a particularly bad thing.ă
ăThereâs a letter here.ă
ăWith a smile, Elna-kaasan took out a stylish and carefully wrapped letter from her pocket
ăLet me see, I wonder whatâs wrong with the letter.
Placing the letter on the table, I opened and read it carefully.
ăUmm, letâs see, what is it?ăInvitation for a party?ăHeeăŒ, Nord-tousan, weâre going to a party.ă
ăWhen I look up to tell them that, the two of them urging me to continue reading with their eyes.
ăOn this occasion, I would like to invite you to participate in the Nobleâs New Year Party that will be held in the Royal Capital along with your son, Alfried-samaâŠâŠ.Hey-, let go of me. Whatâs the meaning of this?ă https://scelusceleris.blogspot.com/
ăWhen I notice, my arm was gripped tightly by Nord-tousan and Elna-kaasan. Nord-tousan aside, I donât think I can shake Elna-kaasanâs arm off. What a grip strength.\nÂ
