I Became the Snow Woman I Made

77 – Landfill (4)

Road to Empire.

Snow fell suddenly from beyond the pure white clouds and covered the sky.

I heard that the temperature of the continent in mid-winter is drawing a sharp downward curve… But I did not feel it.

“Could you be cold?”

“Not at all. It’s sunny today.”

But not only me but the kids around me didn’t seem to know either.

It became a reality that only great aspects were gathered. It was time to look at Chandra Pale who answered indifferently.

A voice came from behind.

“Come to think of it, how could you be fine over there?”

The dragon king’s back was a situation where three people, including Chandra Fail, sat behind me and Nell, and this was Dewade’s voice.

“Yes? Me?”

“Yes.”

The owner of a high but soft tone was Paley.

Duwade affirmed.

“She doesn’t feel any energy, but she looks like an ordinary girl in every way.”

“Uh… Yes. That’s right.”

“But it’s the same in the snowy field, and it still looks very fine.”

That’s what I was curious about.

Doesn’t he know about the snow hare coat?

“Ah, that’s it…”

There must have been a chance to meet in the snowfield.

He talked to me well, but he seemed to have no interest in the other kids.

Paley told me with a bright smile.

“Quillière’s sister helped me. This dress was given to her by her sister, and it has the effect of protecting her from the cold.”

“····! Oh, to give such a treasure…!”

“·······.”

At that point, I closed my ears.

As always, the Crusader’s Praise was about to begin.

While the repertoire was flowing as expected, a voice came over from nearby.

“Who is that girl?”

“Huh?”

Unique sharp tone.

There was only one suspect.

It was also Nell, and she had curious eyes.

“Her name was Lasithea. She is that woman.”

“Ah.”

The story she didn’t know.

I responded simply.

“It’s an old relationship.”

“When in the past?”

“Around the time when Lasithea was about the same age as Paley.”

It was a time when I was definitely not an adult even if I wasn’t a kid.

Nell’s eyes suddenly widened. She looked pretty surprised.

“Aha… It’s been quite, quite a while…”

“Yeah. But why?”

“Huh? No… I’m just curious.”

She awkwardly scratched the back of her neck.

No wonder.

“Yes.”

I turned my gaze and looked straight ahead.

It was a different situation in the middle of the continent.

The Empire is right in front of you.

[Quillier. Can we keep going this way?]

Mishra’s voice rang out.

She thought about that. If you keep going in this direction, you will find Jedo Lobrock.

It was perfect.

“Yeah. Do that.”

I agreed a little.

***

The empire had defeated many gods, but it was still under attack.

This is because it has a prosperous culture and a dense population as it is the most powerful country.

As a miscellaneous god, it was an unbelievable opponent, and monsters attacked in succession.

However, the name of the Great Nation was not just meaningless.

The Imperial Command, which had already adapted to the situation, established a systematic strategy and effectively defeated the enemy.

Swords and sorcery, knights and wizards.

It was a possible response because both forces were greatly developed empires.

“·······.”

Meanwhile, Island Roblock.

In a corner of the empire, there was the residence of the Duke of Griffeon.

Crunchy Square─

In the private room of the duke’s residence, the princess with green hair, Bully, was seated alone.

She was writing something with a fountain pen.

“The agenda of the previous meeting was passed… And the personal letter of His Majesty the Emperor that has been delivered to date…”

Organizing the current situation and refreshing the brain. It was something like her habit.

Her hands and mouth didn’t stop, and her eyes were serious.

“The answer is that one of the three countries is the opposite… It’s a very good trend.”

When it came to matters directly related to her own serenity and the stability of her family, she always did.

“Even though the story is about conquering landfills, this much… Did everyone change their minds because of the full-scale invasion of disaster?”

In particular, Kyoguk’s participation in the war would be a great help.

An endless attack of monsters.

If you remove the landfill from the disaster that is their owner, everything will be solved.

“Imperial forces have already dispatched troops. They are carefully selected soldiers excluding protective forces, and Artan has the authority to command.”

The prince willingly went to the front line.

It was extremely dangerous, but as the person who came up with the conquest plan, I couldn’t leave it out.

Even if it wasn’t for that, he would have gone unconditionally.

“Tsk.”

Bully Ze lightly clicked her tongue. She

She somehow has already crossed the irreversible river.

Now we have no choice but to win.

As she tried to scribble her pen again, a thought filled her.

The prince’s lover.

“You said it was Quilière.”

A goddess or a higher dimension being.

The owner of unbelievable horses.

Her appearance and characteristics—such as her extremely cold personality—were told by her brother Harold.

He added that he is an opponent who should never be pretended to.

“She’s heading to the landfill, too.”

It would be great if I could get some help.

However, humans could not fathom an existence of that size.

It’s a pity.

“Whew…”

The moment Bullyze let out a sigh.

An urgent knock rang out.

Knock Tok─

“Come in.”

Startled, she looked at her door and gave permission.

The one who entered was Saloon, the family regular knight.

“Lady!”

An uncharacteristically distorted face.

As if witnessing a shocking scene, his voice trembled violently.

Bullyze, sensing that it was unusual, asked.

“What happened-“

“The dragon has appeared!”

The answer came sooner than that.

Bullyze tilted his head for a moment, then even blinked.

“… Huh?”

It was that absurd.

·······.

Indeed, the empire was different.

Even in the midst of an uproar due to the inundation of monsters, only this place stood firm.

The Empire has arrived.

We looked down at the ground from the middle of Robrock.

“Kyaaagh! What is that!”

“It’s a dragon!”

People all in shock.

Even though it was quite high, a scream pierced my ears.

Are the voices of the people of the empire too loud, or is it because they are too surprised?

I will be leaving soon, so please be patient with me.

“What are you planning to do in the Empire?”

I glanced back at Nell’s question.

There was only one thing needed.

“I need information.”

“Information?”

“Yes. What is the current state of the empire regarding landfills?”

That was the reason I came to Jedo Island.

Because it is where the most information is stored.

Thinking what to do first, I stroked Mishra’s back with my signature snap.

Kwaaa—!

Then she slowly descended.

At some point, this level of sympathy became possible.

It’s a strange feeling, as if you succeeded in handling the hamster.

“The dragon is coming this way!”

“Everyone back down!”

Adjacent to the road surface, people retreated far away.

I looked around.

I can see the library over there, and there is the imperial castle over there, so for now…

It was then.

Rumble- The voice flowed along with the sound of footsteps.

“Hey… Wait a minute!”

It was an unfamiliar voice, but it was directed at me.

When I turned around, there was a green-haired woman accompanied by knights.

“······· Huh?”

I tilted my head.

Who are you? Is someone who knows me

She stared straight at me as her hands clasped across her chest trembled.

I thought I had something to say.

“Mr. Quilière… Is that right?”

I was convinced by those words.

She recognizes me and wants to talk.

If it wasn’t for that, I wouldn’t have bothered to come up and mention it.

I said.

With a cold expression as usual.

“Yeah. What about you?”

“My name is Bullize Grypheon, the daughter of the Grypheon family.”

“······ Bullying.”

For a moment, I felt strange.

The story of the engagement of the crown prince I heard from Cigna before. It was definitely the name of the opponent.

“Artan’s fiancé.”

“···! Yes. That’s right.”

Are you surprised that I know?

Her eyes widened slightly.

Well done anyway. If it were her, she would know less about the Empire than she knew.

“Where is Artan?”

I threw a question out of the blue.

“······ Huh?!”

The crown prince, who was active at the right time.

I needed to know if he was in the Empire or if he was in a landfill.

Bullyze stuttered.

“Artan, led the Imperial army and has already dispatched.”

“···! Troop dispatch. Landfill?”

“Yes. It’s the flow he created.”

This time it was my turn to flinch.

Like the fact that he came to the snowfield, and the fact that he made a conquest plan, he is a very quick-tempered guy.

“I see.”

“Yes. ······Are you going there, too, Quilière?”

She asked carefully.

She had no reason to hide it.

“Yes. I should go.”

“…Ah! Seriously, are you going to help Artan…?”

“No. Not that.”

I won’t let him die, but he had nothing to do with it.

After all, my goal is disaster.

Was that answer unexpected?

“Yes…? Oh, is that so?”

Bullize blinked with a mysterious expression.

I have always been calm.

“Yes.”

“······Ah. Well, I can’t be bound by human emotions…”

She stared into space, then nodded in agreement.

Right after that, I asked another question.

“Going to the landfill is to eliminate disaster?”

“Yes. He shouldn’t exist.”

My answer was concise.

Disasters and landfills have always existed in an inseparable relationship.

Knowingly or unknowingly, it stayed with us as a threat.

Just like common sense.

Of course, my case was a little different.

Because this was the rule of the Four Seasons War.

“Is that… Possible?”

Anyway, it was a topic that any native of this world should think about at least once, and Bully Island seemed to be the same.

Seeing you ask such a question.

“Is it possible?”

“Yes. Will it be possible for the world’s evil to disappear? Can a continent without disaster exist?”

Her pupils trembled.

The corners of her thin eyes rolled over with anxiety.

It seemed that the threatened peace had brought many worries.

“Why do you ask me that?”

“Ah…?! That, if that’s Mr. Quilière…”

“What am I?”

“Uh, that’s…”

Bully I slurred her speech.

I don’t know if I don’t want to explain it or not, but I can understand it.

The more times like this, the more you need something to support yourself.

Even if it’s just one word from me.

I was troubled.

“·······.”

You could just go, but it was a bit like turning a blind eye to trembling anxiety.

It’s not difficult.

I didn’t mean to say anything bad.

Because it is important to me as well.

However, there is no reason to forcefully answer that, so let’s decorate it in moderation.

The immediate answer was concise.

“There is no flower that blooms without shaking.”

“Yes?”

Quotation of a verse I heard somewhere.

I added my personal opinion there.

“If you overcome the wind now, flowers will bloom everywhere. You and the continent.”

He did not give a definite answer.

I’d rather be suspicious.

A message that gives a hint of hope. That should be enough.

“······!”

The last thing I saw was Bullize, eyes wide open.

It was a face that seemed to be impressed for some reason.

·······.

Having obtained the necessary information, Quilière immediately left the Empire.

In the middle of the remaining islands.

Bullyze blankly recalled the previous conversation.

“There is no flower that blooms without shaking…”

The words vomited with an unprecedented soft voice.

It was a sentence like an aphorism that contained a deep message.

It was the first time I had heard of it, but I could tell that it was an extraordinary insight.

“If you overcome the wind, flowers will bloom everywhere… How can you be so kind?”

These were words that could not have been said without a compassionate heart. Bully Ze realized her misunderstanding about her.

“You weren’t the only cold person.”

Of course, his tone and expression are cold…But he’s very cold, but inside he wasn’t.

Meeting her in person was quite different from what I had imagined.

It shouldn’t be, but deep down I felt like I knew why Artan liked it.

“Lady.”

Her

A voice that awakened her from her thoughts.

It was Saloon, the knight in charge of the escort.

“Is that the goddess of that rumor?”

“…Yes. My older brother said so too.”

Saloon’s mouth slid open.

He broke through the memories that were imprinted in his brain.

Six regular knights of the duchy who helped Anasha subjugate the snake god ten years ago.

He was one of them.

“······· Ah. Indeed.”

A mysterious woman who defeated the dreaded snake god like a beast.

It felt like the still vivid mystery had finally been solved.

“That strength was natural.”

“Yes. Yes. He is.”

Bullyze affirmed Saloon’s understanding.

The two exchanged meaningful nods as if they were sharing a secret.

Then she turned away.

I didn’t hear a definite answer from the goddess, but it was certain that she was determined to deal with her calamity.

Knowing that made me feel a little relieved.

“Lady Bullize!”

The moment she was about to go back to the Duke, she stopped.

Somewhat annoying voice.

I don’t know who it is, but to call a duke’s daughter just a young lady.

Bullyze turned around to say something.

Surprise lingered in her eyes.

“Sir Agnatsu…?”

A monocle crooked from jumping on shabby clothes.

In many ways, it was a filthy outfit, but Agnatsu, a famous theologian, was right.

He exclaimed urgently.

“She… What did she say!”

“Yes?”

“Mrs. Quilière! I saw you talking!”

She was uncharacteristically restless.

As usual, he was immersed in his research in the lab today.

Then he ran out the moment he saw the dragon ─ Baekeun Dragon King.

However, due to lack of physical ability, it was delayed.

“Come on, Sir Agnatsu. Calm down…”

“I’m calm! No, I’m calm! So-“

I was thinking of formally saying hello if I see you again.

There were many things to ask.

It was a grievous thing for Agnatsu.

He shouted with bloodshot eyes.

“Please let me know!”

The only high-dimensional existence that has been manifested in this era, dreamed of.

I couldn’t miss a word.
