We were on our way home after teaching the village kids. Me and my sister Elinora walked down the usual single track while floating our skis and sno-boards with our psychics.

''Haha I'm tired of having to teach most of them after all...''

　I blurt out, feeling too tired for today.

'I've been teaching you well, haven't I?

I don't want to be taught in that sensible way...

　I was to be in charge of the boys and Elinora's sister was to be in charge of teaching the girls.

　However, just as in sword practice, Elinora's instruction was sensual.

'This is where you pull your weight in and then just slide down with a gusto,'

　I was impressed by the girls' pouting expressions when he said that.

　According to him, this is what he says is teaching them to brake, which is amazing.

　That's why, halfway through, Emma-sama cried out to me, and the girls got busy with me being in charge of them as well.



　And when he was not very aware of it, he was not very aware of it. Maybe it's hard even for people with sensory talents.

　However, if Sister Elinora was able to teach others well, I wouldn't be so tired.

'Hey, hey, I'd like to ski harder?　Where there's no one else, wide and long and sloping!

　It seems that in sister Elinora's mind, the story of guidance is already over. She says such things with a very innocent expression.

''Then why don't you go to the mountains?　There's a long incline in the mountains, and it's not very popular, so you can take it easy.

'True!　Come on, Mountain!　So, tomorrow we're skiing in the mountains!

'What?　Is that supposed to be me going too?

Of course. It's boring to ski alone, and Al is the only one who can do it right.

　I suggested it as if it was a completely different person, but before I knew it, I was in the process of being taken in too.

　Sheesh. If it's going to be like this, I shouldn't have suggested that we should ski in the mountains.

　You can't just use transference magic when there are other people around, and you'll have to head all the way to the top or near the top with your own feet.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most out of your time in the event that you're unable to use transference magic.

　It's very troublesome.

　But it's difficult for sister Emma and Sheila's skills to serve as Elinora sister's companion. I'm the only person who can satisfy Elinora's wishes. There's no escaping it.

　While I was immersed in a state of regret and resignation, Elinora sister seemed to be in a very good mood.

　When we reach the mansion, we head back to our room to drop off our skis and snowboards.

　After hanging them appropriately at the end of the room, we head to the living room to take a break.

　I've been outside all day and I'm in the mood for a hot cup of tea.

　Should I put milk in it or have a sliced lemon in it?

　As I walked into the living room, I found my brother Silvio reading a book on the sofa, and my mother Erna and father Nord were chatting amicably.

　It's the usual scene in my home.

''I'm home!''

　The air in the room was strangely tense as I called out for her to come home and entered, and the air in the room was strangely tense.

　........strange. The air in the room should be warmed by the crackling fireplace air.

　I should be relieved after coming back from the cold outside, and I shouldn't have this kind of chill in my heart.......

'Welcome back, Al. Can I have a word?

　Father Nord called us out of the blue. I feel like I'm being asked a series of questions.

　What did I do wrong?　

　I couldn't think of anything, and I looked at Brother Silvio, but he just laughed at me.

'I'm a bit busy warming myself in front of the fireplace.

All right, we'll come to you.

I'll even make you a hot cup of tea.

　I felt a bad feeling and tried to escape, but Nord Dad and Erna Mom came over to block the retreat with a giggle. Their gentleness was counterintuitive and scary.

　I warmed up by the fire in the fireplace, thinking eerily.

'Do you want milk in your tea?'

'Oh, yes. Please.

　I nodded honestly as Mother Erna smiled at me.

　The milk is poured into the warm tea and carefully mixed in.

　The mellow royal feed and the milk are a perfect match. The taste is exquisite, just as Mother Erna made it. Even if I brewed it myself, it wouldn't taste like this.

　The milk tea soaks into my chilled body very well.

'Al, there seems to be a strange thing going on in the village, isn't there?'

Weird stuff?

'I heard that Bartolo, who went out to buy, was slipping on what looked like a funny board.

Yeah, skiing...

　I was about to say skiing, and I shut my mouth in a hurry.

　It was. I started skiing and snowboarding in the heat of the moment, but I hadn't said anything to my Nord Dad.

　Dad Nord has obviously been probing me.

　It's not in his character to take advantage of a relaxing moment with a cup of warm milk tea.

'Al is behind all the weirdness.

Like the mastermind behind such a case...

　I couldn't help but go into it because of the strange way Father Nord said it.

　It's not some great detective anime organization, so please don't say it in a weird way.

'So, is Al involved in that weird stuff?'

　It appears that Bartolo has already given me an overview. Even if I said I wasn't involved, it would be the end of the world if he said he saw me skating with him or something.

　It's better to speak cleanly here. It's not like I had any guilty feelings about it and was hiding it.

'Yes, that's right. I was playing with Thor and his friends when Elinora and her sisters came over and just played with them. I didn't make it as a product, but as a result, it just became more popular than I imagined.

　I'll keep insisting that it's child's play, but I'll also casually mention the name of my sister Elinora to get her involved.

　It's not that this time, skiing and snowboarding wasn't something I recreated with the intention of commercializing it like reversing, I just did it because I wanted to play normally.

'I knew it was Al's doing,'

He said it was just a spur of the moment idea.

　I don't think it was a trick.

Hmm, I see Al's point. It doesn't look like there are any discrepancies with the information I got from Bartolo.

　I knew I was getting a rough report from Bartolo. I'm glad I didn't try to fool him badly.

What's the name of the game again?

Skiing and snowboarding.

'I heard you ski on some kind of board, but if you have a real one, can I see it?'

I wonder what it will be like - when it's all the rage in the village, it's our responsibility to see what it will be like.

　Mother Erna, I can't help it. You're ruining your royal dignity.

　Or rather, you seem to have a twinkle in your eye, Nord.

　We've been holed up in the mansion with the snow lately.

　Maybe they're both interested in the winter activities they can do outside.

'Okay. I'll go get some.

　I decided to go back to my room and get my skis and snowboard boards.
