It was difficult to suppress his seriousness and correct her. Ash slapped her on the head again and said righteously:

"——What are you talking about! How could we leave you alone!"

"...No, no...!"

"Okay, okay, don't worry! We won't abandon you! You don't have to worry!"

"No...Hey?!"

Before Fulilian finished speaking, he picked her up and gave him a sunny smile.

"It's okay! Let's leave here together!"

"...Hu..."

The strange experience, coupled with the hearty smile of the half-culprit, made Fulilian feel that she should be angry, but she still took a long breath in this situation, tried to calm herself down, and said slowly:

"What I want to say... There is a small house nearby... Can you please not keep... keep... keep... keep circling around..."

"I don't want to circle around, but we are lost."

"... At least there is a small house nearby, I still know... So... Please! Stop circling!"

I had always wanted to tell him about this, but because Ash was circling in front with Fen on his back, and was still immersed in the world of two people, she couldn't catch up with him, and her words were covered by the wind and snow, which froze her almost stiff on the spot.

To be honest, she really wanted to use attack magic to intercept them regardless of the risk of triggering an avalanche.

"No, you knew there was a place to take shelter nearby, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"..... Do you think I didn't want to tell you? You were walking so fast in front of me, I couldn't keep up with you at all...! And... You completely forgot about me! Just ignore me!"

Flynn looked quite resentful towards him at this moment, and she couldn't help but want to give him a hard time.

".... Is it possible that you are too small and walk too slowly, so this tragedy happened?"

"Is it possible... If you drag it on, I won't be able to help but kill you...!"

"Sorry, sorry... Don't be anxious, calm down and tell me where to go..."

He still felt a little guilty for accidentally forgetting about Flynn, so he shut up and said nothing more, and went in the direction of Flynn's trembling fingertips.

And Philen, who had been guilty for accidentally forgetting about Flynn from the beginning to the end, buried his face behind Ash without saying a word, like a big hot baby.

Being held in front of him, Fulilian, who felt a little warm, shivered and curled up in his arms. She looked up at him with a look that seemed to have substantial resentment, and said puzzledly:

"What on earth are you and Philen talking about... Why did you forget me so completely?"

"I was thinking about some complicated things..."

"So! What is it?"

"... I will have a good talk with you if there is a chance, but I hope there will be no such opportunity..."

"??? When did you... like to say such strange things...?"

This was a really mysterious statement, which made Fulilian confused. She couldn't help but want to take out her wand and hit him on the head.

After all, it's fine that he froze himself to death, but now he doesn't even give a reason? ?

But Philen's growth brought him some troubles. Ash really couldn't discuss it with others, otherwise he would worry that he would be regarded as a pervert... Especially when the other party still lived behind him.

............................

............................

Although they were lost, Fulilian's memory was surprisingly good, and she pointed out the right way for them in the snow.

With Ash's speed, it didn't take long for him to lead the two to the foot of the mountain, and soon they saw a lonely cabin.

".... It seems that there are still people inside?" From a distance, Ash felt that there seemed to be some movement inside.

Ferien, who was still lying on his back, was obviously ashamed to show this in front of others, and jumped off his back directly after hearing this.

Fulilian also recovered a lot in his arms along the way, but... she really didn't want to experience it again, the feeling of being pulled out of the quilt in the middle of winter, and she didn't intend to move at all, and even wanted to sleep directly like this.

But when Ash walked forward, he couldn't wait to go in and warm up, so Fulilian grabbed the door and pulled it.

"——Hum~! Hum~! Hum~! Hum~!——Good!! Very good!! Warming up!! Hum~! Hum~! Hum~! Hum~! Hum...Hmm?"

A middle-aged man with his upper body naked was doing squats all the time, which made strange noises.

From the sound of his own mumbling, he should be doing exercise to keep warm, but...

"...If the indoor temperature is very low, squatting with the bare chest may cause the body temperature to drop rapidly. It is only suitable to be shirtless when the indoor temperature is moderate or high, right? And now it is obviously very low, are you cold or cold?"

He very naturally asked the uncle who was looking at it subconsciously. Fulian, who was still observing the inside, looked up and looked speechless: "Why are you still analyzing it? Come in quickly."

"Sorry, sorry, I forgot you were still cold..." He apologized casually, and subconsciously stepped into the room, but...

Before he even took a step forward, Fearon grabbed him by the collar and dragged him back. He also closed the door and preached sternly:

"——Master Ash and Master Fulian! Let's go find another place!"

"Why?"

"Because there's a pervert in there!"

"...You occasionally speak too much even if you are not talking to me. Is it really a lack of education?"

Ash lowered his head silently and looked at the elf in his arms, but received a cold look from the other party: "Why are you looking at me? Isn't it your problem?"

"Forget it, let's go first..." Before he could finish speaking, the door opened again.

The shirtless uncle appeared in the wind and snow and glanced at the three people who had not gone far: "——I didn't expect to be regarded as a pervert! By the way...are you an elf?"

"Huh?" It was also at this time that Fulian noticed the other person's long ears, but Ash's face was full of curiosity: "I'm also quite surprised... the elf actually has an uncle."

"Because I have lived a long time, what about humans and elves? I always feel..."

The elf uncle looked at him, then looked at Fulilian in his hand, and frowned unconsciously: "....It's better to separate as soon as possible. If this continues, no one will be happy."

"Separate?....You are surprisingly pedantic."

"I don't want this either." The elf uncle walked out of the room, looked at the two people who spoke earnestly, and said, "But I don't want to see my fellow clan suffer in the next thousand years."

"But it's a bit rude to say this suddenly, right?"

"Because you're leaving, aren't you? If you don't say it now, you won't have a chance."

"That's true, but..."

"What? If you still don't want to separate, aren't you going to think about the future?"

"....No, what I want to say is that Fulilian and I don't have that kind of relationship."

"...Why didn't you tell me earlier??" Uncle Elf's brain stopped working for a while. He always felt like a fool for having such a serious conversation with him. He couldn't help shouting: "By the way, You should have denied it from the beginning! Why did you start a serious debate with me?”

"Because it feels quite interesting! Also, what I just wanted to say is, are you really not cold when you are so naked and exposed in the wind and snow? Is the sweat on your body frozen?"

"——Do you still have to ask? Of course it's so cold that I'm going to die!"

.........

Facing the calm-looking Ash, the elf uncle subconsciously shrank his body, but his screams echoed in the blizzard.

Fulilian and Feilun closed their eyes in tacit agreement, sighing softly...but they did not intend to join the conversation between them from beginning to end.

Even if possible, they didn't want to have anything to do with these two people, whether it was the guy who sincerely advised this non-existent thing, or the guy who seriously argued for non-existent things.

............................

It has long been unclear who built the hut in the forest.

Florian squatted beside the burning fireplace with a look of enjoyment.

The elf uncle from before also put on his clothes again. He was shivering on the side and looked at Feilun who was packing his luggage. He thanked him with some trembling:

"Little girl...Thank you for helping to light the fire; I happened to lose the fire when I was climbing over the mountain. If I hadn't met magicians like you, I don't know how long I would have been exercising here...Maybe It’s not certain that he will be cold to death.”

"You're welcome..." Fearon, who was somewhat prejudiced against the uncle who had made strange noises before, quietly moved away from him, using Ash to avoid his gaze.

Ash couldn't help but smile and patted his shoulder:

"You, you obviously look very strong, why don't you just dig into the wood to make fire? And you have ended up like this?"

"Cooking wood to make fire? What... By the way, who do you think killed me?" The elf uncle looked back with a depressed look, but Ash just looked at the heavy snow outside the window as if nothing had happened: "Weather It’s your fault, and you went shirtless outside in a snowstorm.”

"....There should be another very important issue, why don't you speak out?"

"Really? Ah~ you mean to say that you don't ask questions clearly and just start preaching as a person who has been through it?"

"It is true that I have my own problems, but you should have made it clear to me from the beginning..."

"But you didn't ask at the beginning? You only said that elves and humans would not have good results when they were together. I only exchanged opinions with you from this aspect? You never said that you were with Fulian, right?"

".........really."

It was difficult to refute, but he still felt strange. The elf uncle unconsciously lowered his head and fell completely silent in unconcealable depression.

Fulian, who had been warming herself up, smiled at this moment and shook her head: "You don't need to think too deeply about what he said. Most of the time, he is just idle and bored and wants to have some fun... In fact, this guy is just It’s just a little bad, don’t worry too much.”

"....Is it just a little bad?"

The strange way of introduction made Uncle Elf a little confused.

At this time, Ash squatted directly next to them, found two pieces of wood, and then took out a dagger. Under the curious eyes of the three, he cut out some sawdust and a wooden awl, and said with a smile:

"Anyway, as an apology, shall I teach you how to make a fire when you lose your fire source and don't know magic?"

"...Make a fire? Just use wood?"

"Of course, look! This way...it's done!"

He turned his hands violently, rotating and rubbing the wooden cone at high speed several times, causing the wooden cone to hit the wood directly, emitting white smoke and making the surrounding area charred black. Then he blew it a few more times, and the fine wood chips followed directly. It burned.

Everyone who saw this scene was stunned.

"How...how is it done? Why can it catch fire if you rotate it like this and blow it again??"

"Rapid rotation and friction will increase the temperature of the contact point. When the temperature reaches the ignition point of the wood, it will be enough to reach the ignition point... Normally you need some tools, but you shouldn't need it. Just rub it with me like this ”

"I see... I don't quite understand, but are you a genius?!" The uncle who was still resentful of him suddenly completely changed his view of him.

And Fei Lun was also on the side, and couldn't help applauding: "As expected of Master Ash, he always comes up with some very powerful ideas!"

"...Indeed, even though he is such a crooked person, he can come up with some strange inventions from time to time, and his brain is surprisingly easy to use." Even Fulilian is also impressed by Ya who can always come up with novel and inexplicably useful inventions. Xiu has great admiration for this aspect.

"...Anyway, let me introduce myself first." There were too many similar cases, and he smiled as he no longer wanted to give any unnecessary explanations in this regard. Instead, he took the initiative to extend his hand to the elf uncle:

"I'm Ash, what about you?"

"Monk Kraft, I must have met you at this time because of the guidance of the goddess." As he spoke, Kraft reached out to hold the goddess's teaching pendant hanging on his chest.

This made him look at it with a slightly strange mood: "Goddess..."

"Don't believe it?"

"No, I believe it."

"What a surprise. You look at this as if you were looking at scrap metal. There is no sense of respect at all... Frankly speaking, I have never seen anyone who lacks faith more than you." Kraft touched his chest. pendant, with surprise on his face.

But he spread his hands indifferently: "It doesn't look like it. In fact, in my opinion, that thing is no different from scrap metal."

"Then why..."

"Because I am completely hated by the goddess."

"How could it be possible? The goddess must be very gentle..."

"Not only can I not use the Holy Scriptures, but healing magic only occasionally succeeds on me."

"...In a way, this is quite powerful." The strange situation that he had never heard of made Kraft silent for a long time before he showed an embarrassed expression: "Did you do something?"

"It's just that when I was a kid, I drank too much and vomited on the statue."

"When you were a child...? If you were a child, a normal goddess would forgive you?" Kraft frowned unconsciously and stared at him, hoping to get a more accurate answer.

"Let's put these unhappy things aside~ Speaking of which, except for Fulian, I haven't seen an elf for a long time."

"...I haven't seen you for a long time."

Seeing that he didn't seem to want to say anything, Kraft didn't ask any more questions, and everyone just introduced themselves.

............................

The night passed peacefully as a group of people introduced themselves.
