Then let's do it Nicole!

Yes!

 I made a sled for Nicole and tied up the two new dogs I brought with me and we were ready to go.

'Okay, run!'

 Sitting down, Nicole commanded, and the two dogs ran out and the sled proceeded.

'Oh, whoa! Fast! That's fast!

 Nicole screams with excitement as she gets to experience sledding for the first time.

 She looks like she's having a lot of fun.

 Maybe it's because they are hounds in addition to being big, but the dogs don't care if Nicole, an adult male, rides them. They are dragging the sled through the snow at breakneck speed.

 It's pretty fast, even from a distance.

"Hmmm, I didn't know an adult could go that fast on a sled.

I guess if we get more dogs and a bigger sled, we can carry some simple loads.

 Dad Nord and Mom Erna were letting their thoughts slip on the dog zoris.

 Maybe they were serious about it as a means of transportation during the winter months.

'In that case, this kind of sled would be nice.

 Hearing them muttering, I create a basket-shaped sled with earth magic.

 When people hear the word "dog sled", they probably think of a sled shaped like this, with a person standing behind it and giving directions.........

'But wouldn't you be able to put too much stuff on it if a person got on it?

'People can stand on the ground plane extending backwards and ride it.

I see.

 He's skied once, so he doesn't feel comfortable standing there.

'Also, the more dogs you have, the harder it is to give directions, and I think you have to pick a breed to match the distance.

Indeed. Some dogs are fast over short distances, but not so good at running long distances.

...It may be difficult to implement right away, but we could try for next year.

 Oh, Dad Nord is quite seriously considering introducing it.

 It would be good for the villagers to have a more convenient way to move around, even in the winter months. It's not that I need it because of the transfer magic, but it would be nice to have an environment where I can enjoy dogsledding easily.

Woof!

 As we were discussing what we were doing, Nicole came back from her sled ride.

 The dog came at breakneck speed and slowly stopped at the sound of Nicole's voice as a signal.

'How did it go?'

It was great, to say the least!

 The expression on Nicole's face as she got off the sled and said that, it looked like she was already enjoying herself.

 The two dogs that have finished running and are waiting for you are also running as fast as they can and gasping for air, but I think they are filled with a sense of accomplishment.

'Hey, can we get in on the ride too?'

'Oh, yes! Go ahead!

 There's no way Nicole could say no to Mother Erna, the lord's wife, when she said so.

 Besides, Mother Erna is a beautiful woman. Being a novice young man, Nicole blushed and honestly gave up the sled.

'This sled that Al made can be ridden by two people, right?

Yeah, I do.

 This couple is still in love with each other. I feel like their loving relationship has increased even more since they made out on skis yesterday.

"I'll get behind you.

Well, I'm not...

 Dad Nord stood on the runner behind me, and Erna's mom moved in, but stopped dead in her tracks.

'....Hey, Al. Where do you want me to ride?

What? Why don't you just sit in the front seat?

 What's the obvious thing to say?

'No. I don't want to be treated like such a burden. It's not beautiful.

 I tried to imagine Mom Erna sitting in a triangle in the back of the car.

 It's certainly not a very beautiful sight. She looks like a child playing on a dolly.

 I would have smiled if I were a child, but it would have been embarrassing for Erna to do it as a lady.

"Well, why don't we ride separately--

Can't you do something?

..........

 Despite the quickest solution I've suggested, Mother Erna screws up, despite the fact that I suggested the quickest solution.

 There are two sleds for one person, so why don't we each ride alone?

 What a thought, but I'm sure they both want to ride together and have fun.

 I make the runner part of the sled thicker and longer in response to Erna Mom's recklessness.

 I also hooked up the waiting rug to the sled for two people.

'Now we can stand here together, can't we? It's pretty close, but you can put your arm around the person in front of you, like two horses riding together.

Al, you're a genius.

 I guess I'm quite pleased with this structure, and Mother Erna pats me on the head with a big smile on her face.

 It feels like the best compliment I've ever received in this world. While meeting the request for a two-seater ride, I also fulfilled the part about the two of them making out.

 To be honest, I even thought I was a genius for coming up with the idea.

'Okay, I'll go up front then.'

I'm in the back.

 Dad Nord stood in front of me and Mom Erna rode in to hug me from behind.

 I was able to satisfy Mother Erna's needs, but it's pretty funny to watch from a third party perspective.

 Well, since he seems to be satisfied with the ride, and it's not a permanent ride, let's not worry about it.

Alright, then--

Oh, wait!

 Nicole tried to signal, but I remembered a problem right before I did.

'What's going on?'

 Mother Erna looks slightly unhappy when they stop their departure.

 But this is not the time to be concerned about it.

'Nicole, can you tell me the total weight of the rug and the other dogs combined?'

Well, I'd say she's about late 90s.

 It seems to be a bit of a math problem, but each individual is probably roughly over thirty in weight.

 That's three of them, roughly in the late 90s. Assuming the weight of the sled weighs ten kilos, it's about a hundred kilos.

 Assuming that Nord Dad's weight is about 70, how could Erna's weight fit into the 30kg range--

Al? Do you have something weird on your mind?

I didn't think about it.

 Even though I didn't really say it out loud, Mother Erna gave me a sharp word of intuition.

 For a moment, the air around me seemed to drop about five degrees.

 And anyway, it's impossible for Ragu and the others to pull the sled due to practical issues.

 But there was no way they could say that they couldn't ride together because of their weight before Mother Erna was on board. That's the most contraindicated. You don't know what you'll get in for if you tell her.

'I'm going to check the ropes for a minute!

 I explain that, while approaching the rugs.

 Then I pretend to check the condition of the ropes and use a body enhancement grant, a combination of no magic and water magic magic.

''One!

 In this way, the lugs' bodies would be strengthened with magical power, and it would be as if they were using physical enhancement.

 The effect that can be exerted depending on the person's total magic power and physical strength will vary, but the three of them together should be able to make up for the lack of twenty kilos or so.

''Woof woof!''

 The rags barked excitedly as their bodies were strengthened and filled with power.

 It was a trump card to somehow beat up Elinora sister with multiple people, but more than that, their instincts were screaming that now was the time to use it.

 Why didn't he use it on Thor and Asmo in the snowball fight? This is because no matter how much you strengthen one, it won't be a big number.

 I wasn't sure if I'd be able to use Rumba against Kagura's pillow thrower, but I had a feeling that if I went that far, I wouldn't really be able to collect, so I decided to weigh myself.

 Anyway, this should allow me to pull a sled with the two of them.

'No problem!'

'I see. Well then, come back around the area and come back!

"Woof!

 Nicole commanded, and the sled with Nord and Erna's mother safely glided away.

 I am relieved from the bottom of my heart when I hear Mother Erna and Father Nord shouting with joy.

 If we couldn't proceed with this, I had to ruthlessly pronounce it overweight.

'Yeah? Faster than when there are two people on board than one? And the lugs seem more excited than usual.
Huh?

It's just my imagination.

 In the meantime, let's get them rounded up early so that they don't put a big strain on the rugs.
