I Became the Snow Woman I Made

7 – To the Continent

-That’s him…

– It has become smaller! Just like Quilly!

It wasn’t really enough for dragons to come in, but the inside of the castle was quite large and spacious. So much so that adding one person would not be a problem.

The spirits whispered as they saw Mishra and I walking down the hallway. They immediately recognized the humanized Mishra as the intruder. It was the result of the reaction of the spirit’s eyes that see through mana.

Meanwhile, I was making my way without hesitation… Only outwardly. All attention was focused on the visitor behind. What was so strange about her was that she was looking around at the elongated friques with blue eyes.

“The spirits are so…”

Judging by the rough noise, he must have been surprised by the number. Well, I did work a little hard on it. No one asked for it, but it was said that they put in the effort as if they were collecting collectibles. I shrugged my shoulders a little when I saw people who were surprised to see my tracks.

‘…Not a person.’

Come to think of it, Mishura was actually the first person I met after coming here. Although he had almost no weight in the original work, he was also an indispensable strongman in terms of the rank table in the world view.

It means that it is a meaningful relationship. There was nothing bad about improving between them. Then, as I was thinking about what to do, I saw Fricke growling at Mishra.

– Kreur…

It wasn’t just him, there were quite a few freakes in wolf form. It’s partly because the image of the Dragon King is badly embedded, and the spirits have strong individualistic tendencies in the first place. It was natural to be wary of other characters except for me, the creator.

Even so, the guy’s posture was sharper than the other spirits. Maybe it’s because that tendency is stronger than others. Mishra’s steps stopped for an instant, and I also stopped moving.

I got a chill on my back from the bad situation. It was not good to develop the vigilance of the friques as it is. It’s a situation that requires your bright personality. I’m usually doing well, but I can’t come out like this.

Reluctantly, I approached Fricke, who was grinding his teeth carefully. She put her hand on the silver wolf’s head and gave her gentle advice.

“Noisy, it’s a guest.”

Moments after passing the grumpy and downcast guy.

We arrived at what I call the ‘parlor’. The name was given when digging into the structure of the family name and dividing roles, but honestly, I didn’t expect to have anything to write about.

“This is…”

For convenience, we call it a drawing room, but in fact, its purpose could change at any time. For example, if you spread food on a tabletop, it instantly transforms into a snack bar.

It’s a small annoyance. It was a good way to get rid of it easily by eating something delicious. Of course, there’s no way I can cook or anything like that. However, there are so many different items in the game, and among them, food-type items also occupy a place.

Expendable items that can be easily preserved until the expiration date comes after working to make them edible. In the game, it was only used to recover stamina, but now that it has become a reality, it is possible to taste it for yourself.

Mishra, who was staring at the desserts I prepared, asked a question.

“…What is this all about? Did you make it…?”

Compared to before, it was a much more docile attitude. Or do you just feel that way because you are human? Hey, isn’t the shape of the Dragon King really scary?

I didn’t consider her question, but after hearing it, it seemed reasonable. Come to think of it, these were all items from a thousand years later. At this point, it may still be before birth.

Still, I had no intention of campaigning with what I just brought from the warehouse. Let’s answer honestly.

“No, I brought it.”

“I brought it…?”

For some reason, she was happy inside because her words came out nicely, but Mishra tilted her head and smiled.

“Did food fall from the sky? No need to say that…”

Somehow, it seemed like a grand illusion.

The sudden brightening of her expression made her feel embarrassed, but she didn’t have to correct herself. That’s right, it’s the best atmosphere ever.

What I prepared to appease the other person was black tea and cake. For dessert, it was a great combination. Mishra awkwardly raised her fork and took a bite of her cake.

“Oh…!”

Her pupils widened and she put her hand to her mouth.

She looked into her startled eyes and it seemed to suit her taste. After being nervous for a moment, I calmed down.

It seems like it was a good choice too.

Truly, I was indebted to these items in many ways. Actually, the snow woman I created doesn’t need to eat because of the setting, but since she’s already lived as a human, she couldn’t eat anything.

The Silver Dragon King and Snow Woman did not mean that the meal was meaningless at all, but it was almost unnecessary. Can you enjoy extreme efficiency with just a little intake? In any case, even such beings like spirits do not have a digestive system, so sometimes they enjoy eating.

And sweet things are always right.

This was even more so in this era when such foods were scarce. Mishra, who hurriedly indulged in tea and cake while looking at me, was proof of that.

“…I’ve never eaten a dish like this before. Could it be that it’s a very rare food…?”

She asked if I had gone crazy after emptying it. I thought hard. I thought I could get more points if I answered that it was precious. However, he soon shook his head.

“Not at all. No big deal.”

It was the truth.

All high-grade items were not linked, so the ones in the current warehouse were cheap to say the least. I don’t know what other users think, but at least it did for me.

Mishra stood out in my answer.

She seemed to understand something, but why? She was concerned, but she asked more curious questions.

“Why did you come?”

The reason why it suddenly appeared after disappearing for a month. I had to know the reason.

“Ah, that’s… Ruins! I came here to investigate the ruins and stopped by while I remembered.”

She said the reason as if Mishra, who had been frozen for a moment, had just remembered it. Listening closely, she says, she’s been at Rare for a month to see if she’s slept again. Then, the cycle came and came out to examine the ruins.

As her Dragon King, she had things to do periodically in her own realm. Maybe research is one of them.

“Ruins… Obelisks?”

But the words she said were quite familiar. Ruins. If you look for structures worthy of being called that, there are quite a few in this wide snowfield. However, there was no way the dragon king would regularly check such a tourist spot.

If it was a worthy subject, there was only one thing I could point out from my point of view. God’s Relic, Obelisk.

“Do you know? …Well, of course…”

My thoughts accelerate as I see Mishra muttering softly.

She was glad to see a keyword that stimulated old nostalgia after a long time. The obelisk, also called the pillar of the world, was the remains of a god built by the Four Gods in the beginning to maintain the world.

Said, the best object on the ground.

There were a total of four obelisks, one each in the north, south, east, west, and west of the continent, which had enormous divine power that differed from magic and arc.

Except for the north, all of them are located in rough areas that are difficult for people to come and go.

Of course, the eastern devil’s paradise is the Far East’s snowfield, and there must be one somewhere here, where I live. It had nothing to do with me, so I forgot and couldn’t recall it.

Anyway, the obelisk is an important keyword enough to be at the top of the world view, and it was a dangerous structure that contained power that even the dragon king could not touch.

Surprisingly, even if the importance of the game was not so high, it was manageable by a person of the level of the Dragon King.

“I came out to investigate the obelisk, why do you think of me?”

There was just one thing I didn’t understand, so I asked back.

I completely forgot about it and didn’t even go there. It seems that he came here as an excuse to investigate because he was bored after being stuck in rare.

“……”

Hiding my displeasure, I looked at Mishra, and she only looked at me with her meaningful eyes.

As expected, sweet desserts were the best to clear the core. When I left, I saw no hostility on Mishra’s face. On the contrary, she seemed to be in a slightly better mood.

“Maybe it’s just my mood.”

It’s unreasonable to say we’ve become close, but I think our relationship has been elevated to the level of acquaintance. I roughly turned the circuit of hope and picked up a neat tote bag.

Journey inland.

I carefully selected useful items and put them in my bag. Of course, the bag was also one of the items.

With this, the preparation is complete. Now I just need to take the Yeti with me, but before that.

“The house is well guarded.”

You should ask the troublemakers.

-Oooh… Quilly…

-I want to go too! Take me too!

-Are you coming back?

All those freekes were rushing to the entrance. I’ve already explained it roughly, but there was no way I could immediately understand that these children were like that. Even if that’s frustrating, I understand now.

I looked around familiar faces.

Someone was crying, someone was in a sullen state, and someone was using a group of extensions. There were no good reactions.

Since the atmosphere was like that, I naturally started thinking in a different direction than usual.

Have I ever been such an important person to someone? I was still the real me on Earth, but after hundreds of nights, this was already my second home.

However, I think home is a place to come back to, not a place to live for the rest of my life. As if my first home had disappeared.

And the experience of being away from home was also necessary.

“Don’t ask the obvious.”

Both for me and for the kids.

It came out with great enthusiasm, but soon encountered a problem.

“…Is this right?”

I was a deceased figure in the Four Seasons War both in name and reality, and I was confident in continental geography as well.

However, less than 100 years have passed since rivers and mountains change now, and to make matters worse, it was in the middle of a snowy field where it is more difficult to find a way than a forest.

In a word, I was lost.

No, it seemed lost. To be honest, I just couldn’t tell.

“The direction must be right…”

When Mishra flew earlier, I was able to determine the direction of the ruins. Since the location of the obelisk has been fixed since ancient times, they succeeded in inferring the direction of the ice mountain range through it.

If I went straight in the direction I was going, I would probably come out. Reason shouted out like that, but emotions fluctuated. If that wasn’t the case, it would just be a waste of time, and I could have gone beyond that and become a lost child.

“…Is this right?”

A small doubt rose up and seemed to hold him back. Eventually he decided to stop and catch his breath.

– Ugh…

As if comforting me from the side, Yeti let out a cry. Some might find it scary, but to me it was a cute gesture. Being with him made me feel much more stable psychologically.

“It’s a god’s relic.”

I suddenly remembered the conversation with Mishra. I almost forgot about it, but once I came back to life, I kept thinking about it. It was even more so because it was not a trivial setting, but a very important one.

Shall we visit later?

I had such a thought for a moment, but I suddenly shook my head. Even if that weirdness didn’t stand out well in the game, Shin’s ruins were a very terrifying place in the setting.

The weak divine power that spreads from the ruins left unattended after the suppressor disappeared, transforms bugs and insects that touch it into named monsters called ‘Miscellaneous Gods’.

Above all, one of the main targets of the ‘disaster’ was the obelisk.

I don’t know in detail what kind of activities the black catastrophe did a thousand years ago, but there was nothing wrong with being careful. Snow Woman couldn’t possibly compete with him.

“First of all, it’s a continent, a continent…”

Let’s not worry about anything else.

It was enough to stop at a moderately safe place to satisfy my interest. In the first place, my goal was not to deal with the darkness in particular, was it? Although there is no clear goal in the first place.

Wouldn’t it be better to look for that goal on the continent? Having made up his mind, he got up again and resumed his actions. No, I used some of the missing magic to go faster.

Hwaaak-

One of Snow Woman’s special magic, Transfiguration.

This skill, which can change into fog clouds or snow, was very valuable as it was suitable for escape or movement. It is a skill that consumes a lot of mana, but with the power of the snow woman, it was possible to minimize the consumption in the snow.

When I, who had changed into snow, took the lead, the Yeti, who had been leisurely following up until now, started running with full force.

.

.

How long has it been?

I had no sleep for several nights. It wasn’t that she risked staying up all night just to be in a hurry, but Snow Woman, who wasn’t just a creature, didn’t need to eat or sleep herself.

Of course, stamina isn’t infinite, so I needed a break. In between, I would catch her breath, ride on the Yeti’s shoulder, and enjoy the scenery of the snowfield, which changes in its own way.

I realized when I saw a different terrain and a different creature than before.

Arrived at the Ice Mountains.
