I enjoyed the scenery as I skied with Silvio.

　Thanks to the high altitude we can see the mountains in the distance. All of them are beautiful, dyed white by the snow.

　There is no sign of animals or demons, perhaps they are hiding in the snow. The only sound that echoes around the area is the sound of us shuffling through the snow.

'Oops.'

　As I was enjoying the quiet mountain, my brother Silvio's skis floated a bit.

　Looking at the ground, the snow was raised and undulating in places.

　It would be difficult for Brother Silvio to choose a route that would avoid this neatly.

'It's a bit rough around here, so I'll use magic to guide you. You don't even need the brakes, just stand there.

All right. Okay.

　I psychic my brother Silvio's skis and get control of them.

　I use the psychic to move the skis to avoid the undulations that are spreading forward, while I turn and move myself as well.

'Wow, it's really easy to just stand there.'

　I love it. I'd love to just stand there and ski down the mountain too. But that would take the meaning out of skiing.

　I can't even ask my brother Silvio to change, because he's assured me that I'll follow through.

　It wouldn't be fun to just make things easy for him, so I decided to show a little playfulness.

　We slide down the slope, pulling Brother Silvio along with a psychic.

　Along the way, we find a bump that looks like it could be a jumping board, and we pick up speed and charge down it.

'Let's go, Brother Silvio,'

What, Al?　What are you going to do?

　He screams in confusion but I ignore him and I just pull my brother Silvio with my psychic and rush into the snow jumping platform.

　With our momentum, we jumped straight into the air.

''Waaaaaahhhh~!''

　And then he spun sideways with a psychic on my skis as well.

　It's called the cork 720, a gratis skiing technique.

　I made a 720-degree rotation when I was five meters in the air and landed softly on the ground with my psychic.

　It's a magic gluttony, but my heart is racing. It was higher than I thought it would be and it was scary.

'Al!　What the hell are you doing!　What just happened to spin in the air?

Sorry, sorry. I was just playing around.

I was scared shitless.

　Brother Silvio was a little teary-eyed.

　Even I did it knowingly and I was pretty scared, so Brother Silvio who was made to do it unknowingly was even more scared.

　Yeah, I'd say that was a bit much.

　I used to watch a professional skier spinning, and the view was like that.

　It was scary, but I got a little thrill and exhilaration out of it.

'Hey!　I know you were just flying and spinning like crazy!

　He must have been watching Gratri earlier. Sister Elinora slowed down a bit and came to my side.

　I don't know if she was excited or if her cheeks were red from the cold, but I could tell just by the sound of her voice that she was very excited.

'I took advantage of the undulations of the slope and jumped. The rest of it was just spinning in the air.

'Heh!　I'm going to try my hand at it!

　It's not even an explanation, but apparently that was enough for Elinora's sister.

　She wanted to try it, so she increased her speed and accelerated to find an undulation to use as a jumping platform.

　At that point, a slight undulation caused Elinora to float her snowboard, but she quickly manipulated her weight and bounced to accelerate without losing her balance.

　The move I just did already is a guy called Ollie, a basic snowboarding gluttony technique. It's not taught to me by anyone, but the fact that you can move your body instantly and perform it is at an uncommon level.

　Since it's Elinora sister's athletic ability, she won't fall down in a strange way, but I'll watch while preparing my psychic so as not to injure her in the meantime.

　Then, perhaps finding a natural undulation worthy of jumping, Elinora sister lowers her hips and does a double rotation using her upper body firmly.

　She spun firmly in the air and landed on the ground without losing her balance.

　It was an amazing sight, but I was relieved to see that Elinora didn't seem to be hurt.

　I knew in my heart that Elinora wouldn't miss her jump, but it's always a bit scary when she flies so loudly in front of you.

'This is so fun!　I think we could do a lot more than that!

　Elinora's sister looks like she's having a great time and is completely unaware of what we're going through.

　What she's doing is a snowboarding version of the Coke 720 we did.

　But she didn't use magic like I did and managed to pull it off in one shot, in the flesh. She is a sister with a terrifying motor skill.

''Heh, there's a technique like that. I'm sure you can reproduce it on the ground if you use your momentum. Right!

Oh, it's true. I can do more on the slide than I thought.

　Inspired by Elinora's jumping skills, Father Nord and Mother Erna also started to glide along and do grattori.

　They seem to enjoy improvising and showing each other jumping, turning, and a mixture of jumping and turning.

　Yeah, she's doing the Nose Butter 360 and stuff like that.

　It's fun to ski in the mountains with other family members, but it's also fun to ski in harmony with them.



　We were skiing down the mountain to our heart's content, and before we knew it, we were at the bottom of the mountain.

　The slope became gentle, and our accelerating boards naturally stopped.

'Wow, that went kind of fast, didn't it?

Really. Not even an hour has passed?

　Father Nord and Mother Erna gave me a satisfied look and shifted their goggles.

　Maybe that's about the amount of time that has passed, but I'm so dense with skiing that it seems like more than that might have passed.

　I take off not only my goggles, but my hat, once I'm done.

　Even though the air is cold, I've been skiing all day and my body is still hot.

　When I took them off, the heat in my head seemed to escape and it felt good.

　I took off my goggles and my vision was clear. The snow was shining in the sunlight.

Thank you, Al. You've made it possible for me to enjoy my time in the mountains.

'Don't worry about it. I'm the one who said I'd follow up.

Hey!　What, are you giving off the air like it's the end of the world?　Such a fun game, you can't finish it in one sitting!　I'm going to climb the mountain again and slide down!

　As I was creating an air of some satisfaction, Sister Elinora protested.

　Unlike us, he was ready for battle with his goggles and hat on.

　How much did he like mountain skiing?

'I'm a little tired, but I guess Al's magic will give us enough of a break while we're moving around.

I'd like to ski some more, too.

　It's not just Sister Elinora, but also Mother Erna and Father Nord who say such things.

　Oh no, they're both completely addicted to it. Maybe this would have been better if you and Elinora sister had just slid down the mountain together?

　I looked at the three of them with their glossy faces, and that's what I thought.

　The only way to get around this method was to say that Brother Silvio, a beginner, was tired. That way, Father Nord and Mother Erna would be smart enough to give us an end or a break as a guideline.

'How about you, Brother Silvio?　You must be tired by now.

　Tired, right?　Tell me you're tired.

　When I gave him a hot gaze with such a thought, Brother Silvio smiled at me.

''I slipped in many places due to Al's magic, and I'm fine, since I'm barely drained of energy.

Then I'm going up the mountain again!

　Due to Brother Silvio's airy remarks in a way, it was decided to climb the mountain again immediately.

　It doesn't matter that I'm going to climb up the mountain again as a psychic, but that ease is going to cause me to climb again and again instead.
It is.

　I'm sure my thighs will be sore tomorrow morning.



　I ended up climbing and sliding down the mountain five times that day.
