, Valentine, who right now was smiling, was sent.
「… Well, now I should try to get in touch with our Wicked Familiars who are scattered in this world」
Valentine began to emit a wave of thought that only the Wicked Familiars could feel.
「First, I must gather information… If I move without care, I will end up burning myself」, said Valentine as she laughed with a smile on her face.
◆ ◇ FAR EAST OF HOUTAROU CITY, IN THE MIDDLE OF ARNPS"S MOUNTAINS ◇ ◆ 「So this is what they call snow」, said Lys in amazement as she watched the snow that covered the whole place.
「I had already had to come to snow-filled places like this as part of my training, but I never imagined that I would ever come with the intention of having fun」, said Barissa, who was next to Lys, while looking around with a smile on her face.
Today, Furio and his Family had come to the Snowy Mountains.
After the great success of the fashion show that had been held in the Castle City, Elmens, the manager of the Elmen clothing store, whose sales had skyrocketed thanks to the fashion show, invited Furio and his family to her Villa in Arnps.
Because of that, all family members, except for Brossam, Berano and Jaren, had come to this place.
*Funsu funsu*. The couple"s pet, Saber, in his Horned Rabbit form, his wife, Shibea, and their three children, Suba, Seveia and Sobaea, ran happily in the snow.
「To think that Humans enjoyed things as unreasonable as these… What do they see as fun in sliding on the snow with a board in this cold?」, said Gozaru, as he stared straight ahead with his arms crossed.
In the direction in which he looked, there were numerous large houses that had been built on the slopes of the mountains, and near these, many people could be seen having fun as they slid down the slope on thin wooden boards.
Elmens"s Villa was located in the highest area of the slope, and its surroundings could be considered a private area.
「Hey, Uliminus, don"t you think so?」, asked Gozaru to Uliminus, who was standing next to him.
However, Uliminus did not answer anything.
No
To be precise, she wasn"t able to answer him.
Uliminus was completely covered in clothes, from the top of her head to the tip of her feet, in fact, she had put on so many clothes that she looked like a snowman.
Uliminus had wrapped her face with so many scarves that, although the area where her mouth should be seemed to be moving, her voice was unable to be heard by anyone.
「… Uliminus-dono… could it be that, you aren"t good with the cold?」
Uliminus nodded slightly in response to Barissa"s question.
Uliminus belonged to the demonic race of the h.e.l.l “cats”, and was extremely bad with the cold.
「Seriously, why did you put on so many clothes? Are you even able to walk? Anyway, we"d better hurry up」, said Gozaru as he hit Uliminus"s shoulder.
… Ny-Nya!?
Immediately afterwards,
Uliminus, who lost her balance due to Gozaru"s blow to her shoulders from behind, began to fall forward.
「Ny~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~a!?」
Then, she just started rolling down the pending in front of her.
Gozaru, who clearly saw what happened, said「Ho~o, I see, so there was also that way to enjoy it, Uliminus」, while laughing.
「It"s not like that, Gozaru-san! She just fell!」, said Furio as he began to chase after Uliminus, who began to disappear from his sight.
◆ ◇ The three, Risley, Garyl and Elizabeth, were circling in the cabin while watching the snow curiously.
Risley"s Father was Slape, a Demon, and Garyl and Elizabeth"s Mother was Lys, another Demon.
Because of that, the three, who had demon blood running through their veins, grew at an accelerated rate, and were currently the size that a two-year-old Human child would normally be.
Garyl, who was beginning to show a more daring look, took some snow with his hands and threw it at Elizabeth.
At first, Elizabeth, who did not understand what Garyl was doing, just stood still while looking at him casually, however, after Garyl threw the heap of snow that had collected directly to her face, she began to cry due the surprise she felt after being attacked by its coldness.
Garyl, who did not expect Elizabeth to start crying, began to panic, and a few seconds later he began to cry next to her.
「Calm down both of you」
Lys, who was watching them, sat next to them with a wry smile on her face, and told them that while hugging them tightly.
Then, Garyl and Elizabeth clinging to Lys while still crying.
The two of them finally stopped crying shortly after Lys started comforting them,
「Garyl, you are a kid, so you must be careful when you play with Elizabeth to not make her cry, understand?」
Garyl nodded shyly after hearing the words of Lys.
Seeing that, Elizabeth began to pull Garyl"s arm while raising her voice 「U~」.
She seemed to be protesting something while pulling Garyl"s arm up and down again and again.
Then, Risley, who was observing the situation, approached and, took Garyl"s other arm, and began to pull him, from top to bottom, at the same way as Elizabeth.
On the other hand, Garyl, whose arms were pulled from side to side, was confused.
He seemed to be trying to escape from the place, however, they were both holding him too tightly, so at the end, he was just shaken from side to side for a while.
Lys, Bireri and Slape watched the scene with warm smiles on their faces.
◆ ◇ Since they had arrived somewhat early, Furio and his Family decided to play in the snow for a while before heading to the cabin in Elmens"s Villa.
「… It-It was horrible nya…」
Uliminus, who was somehow found by Furio, was stuck to the fireplace with a miserable look on her face as she tried to warm her frozen body.
「What are you talking about? That was a lot of fun!」
Next to her,
was Gozaru, who after seeing Uliminus"s accident, began rolling down the hill on the snow, trying to imitate what Uliminus had done while laughing out loud.
After Gozaru finally reached the end of the slope rolling, which seemed nothing more than a game to him, he went back up to the top while laughing satisfied.
Uliminus, who looked at him from the side,
… Immature idiot nya
thought that to herself as she tried to get a little closer to the fireplace.
「Hey hey hey, Uliminus, if you"re so cold then, why don"t you go for a hot bath?」, Asked Slape to Uliminus with a smile on his face as he carried the luggage.
「… The bathroom, bring it here nya」
Apparently, she had no intention of leaving the fireplace not even a second.
「Seriously, you have no choice」
After saying that, Gozaru picked up Uliminus, who was holding on to the bathtub, with one hand, and started walking to the bathroom with her.
「Hey!? It"s cold! It is cold nya!」
「 It"s all right, I"m sure you will warm up quickly when you go to the bathroom」, said Gozaru as he started using his free hand to take Uliminus" clothes off.
At that moment, Uliminus grabbed her clothes with a desperate look on her face as she blushed.
「I-Idiot nya! Everyone is watching nya! Stop nya!」
「 Do you like to take a bath with your clothes on?」
「Shut up nya! I"ll take it off myself nya! 」
「Hahaha, why do you give such importance to something like that? Oh, should I ask Barissa if she wants to join us?」
Gozaru, who was being stabbed at the furious glare of Uliminus, began taking off her clothes while turning to Barissa, then laughed.
「E-Enough … Seriously, he is as energetic as ever…」, said Barissaat the same time that her cheeks began to dye red.
On the other hand, Furio, who stared at those three while they went to the bathroom
「… Slape-san, I think it would be best if we don"t approach to the bathroom for a while」
「Umu, umu, umu, I totally agree」
After saying that, the two smiled wryly at the inevitable situation.
Around two hours later, Gozaru finally walked out of the bathroom while carrying the girls.
◆ ◇ Standing in the hallway, next to the bathroom door, was the Majin of Light and Darkness and (Omitted), Hiya. Although those three had already left the bathroom, she was still standing there, nodding over and over while smiling happily.
「Umu… I saw truly educational…」
◇◇ IN A CERTAIN PLACE IN A CERTAIN FOREST ◇◇ 「What"s wrong with you, Ririanju? You seem worried」
「Ah, no… I-it"s nothing」
「Is that so? It looks really bad~」
「N-No, I"m fine, fine…」, replied Ririanju with a smile on her face in response to the concern of the Blond Hero and Tsuya.
However, inside her head, she had fallen into a severe state of confusion.
… This-This wave of thought is… It can-can"t be. Valentine-sama come to this world?
