48-Snowball battle sister vs brother (above)




 
Uh ... it's cold. I'm sure you'll catch a cold from this.

'What are you talking about? How could Thor catch a cold?

Yeah.

 Thor walks down the street, his body shaking.

 Me and Asmo, walking behind him, return Thor's muttered words with dismay.

'Well, maybe. Al made an impromptu bath for me!'

 Thor says happily, as if he interpreted our rush differently.

 No, me and Asmo meant that the idiot couldn't possibly catch a cold, but I don't need to go out of my way to piss him off, so I keep quiet.

 Thor dumps beautifully into the river in the middle of winter. Normally, Asmo would have been caught up in it and would have fallen, but my magic shield made it there in time.

 It's a good thing that I was able to pull him out of the water and prepare a drum bath made with impromptu earth magic, but his expression changed to one of joy.

 So the reason why he's cold now is simply because of the cold water.

 There are some villagers who can use simple magic, but apparently there are few people with enough power to prepare a bath. You can get water from a well or a river, but that takes a tremendous amount of effort and time. But that doesn't mean we can't magically produce a lot of water.

 Besides, it is useless because there is no bathtub. So, most of the time, they just fill a tub with hot water and wipe their bodies.

 So Thor is happy to take a bath for the first time in a long time.

 If I were Japanese, I wouldn't be able to stand it. Just wiping yourself out?

 Since Emma's sister is here, I should set up a bath at her house sometime.


 The sight of him bathing in the drum bath while gazing out at the snowy landscape attracted me, but I was hesitant to get into it when I thought about the way home. Or rather, the water would definitely get cold on the way to the mansion.


 When I returned from the river and went back to the plaza, for some reason the trio of Elinora-sister, Emma-sister and Sheila-san were there. I wonder what the hell is going on.

 Around them, the villagers glanced at me as if they were peeking at me.

 As I proceeded with anxiety and caution, sister Elinora, with her arms crossed and her eyes closed, opened her mouth.

''Al. What is that ice statue?''

 Ice sculpture? Oh, the one we made together.

Oh, yeah. We were pretty proud of it. We made it ourselves!

 I replied with a smile, and the Elinora sisters looked at each other and nodded.

 What is it? It was these guys after all.

"He said it!

"Oh, this can't be good, can it?

 From a distance, the villagers' weak voices could be heard in the distance.

''What's wrong with the ice statue we made?''

 Thor asks to Sister Elinora, his voice trembling with nervousness.

 Maybe in her mind she must be thinking she's lucky to be able to talk to me in person or something.

'What's wrong? Do you think that's what they say after seeing that?

 The Elinora sister pointed at the ice statue with a sharp gaze towards you.

 I'm going to be able to say that the crystal of beauty that we worked so hard to create is there - a hapless figure.

 I have no idea what it means.

 The proportions we insisted on were disrupted by someone else and turned into an ugly figure that was impossible to look at. Our bellies are flabby and bulging, and our muscles are absurd. It's as if it was pranked by a child. However, it is obvious who the motif is because there is no hand on the face.

 However, the ice statue of Elinora's sister was not touched at all. Only the chest is heaped up in abundance.

 Probably, the people who did this prank followed their instincts to not make an enemy out of Sister Elinora alone, but this was clearly a provocation.

''No, this isn't!''

'What's the difference! You said Al made it himself, didn't you?

 Elinora sister's angry voice and mainly snowballs flying at us.

 We dodge the snowballs that flew with great force and drop down to the house behind us.

 Shit, d*mn. I certainly said that with a smile, too.

 I want to punch me in the past.

 But Elinora sister, you were ready to throw it right from the start.

"It wasn't us!

"Oh, but I saw Thor scraping the chest off of Emma's ice sculpture.

'Me and me both. You've been sneakily shaving your chest while grinning at that Thor guy.'

 Thor shouted an excuse, but he heard the villagers' voices at the wrong time.

 What a badly timed moment you guys were having.

'Don't say anything unnecessary, you guys!

Huh, so Thor's gotta be behind this.

 Sister Emma prepares a snowball while speaking in a flat voice. 'Eyes, I don't think there are any highlights in my eyes.

'Wait, no, sis! I'm just p--

Shut up!

 As if to say no more, a series of snowballs were fired at him and Thor was forced to retreat.

'Hey, sis? I haven't done anything with Thor, but I haven't done anything with him, okay? So I don't have to shovel snow off the ground?

 Asmo, the only one of us who isn't hiding, is trying to persuade his sister, Sheila-san, to come to him.

That bastard is trying to save himself.

'Eh? I don't care about that! More importantly, I wanted to try a snowball fight!

 What a magical smile. She's a dangerous person in a different way than our sister. As soon as Asmo saw that persuasion didn't work, he hurriedly hid himself in the shadows of a house like us.

What are we going to do?

No, I have a feeling it will be too much trouble to bring it back from this state.

'Sister Sheila can't help it either,'

Stop hiding and come out!

'You hide because you have a guilty conscience.

 Even as they huddled together and talked to each other, the storm of snowballs showed no signs of letting up.

''Well let's do it when it comes to this.

 It's hard to stop Sister Elinora once she's become like that. I look at Thor and the others with determined eyes.

''Yeah, it's not bad to make your sisters giggle every once in a while... a chance to show Elinora-sama how cool you are.

'I don't have much of a reason to, but they're targeting me, so I don't blame them.

"I'm counting on you, fatty to move.

Can I sell you and beg for my life?

"Just kidding, just kidding.

 This is where the snowball storm stops. I looked at them and saw that they were mass producing snowballs. At a frightening pace, the snowballs are being created and piled up one after another.

 The speed at which Sheila-san is making them is not half bad. I wonder if she likes that kind of simple work.

Sheila is very good at making snowballs. She says she likes simple work because it's easy.

You sound like my sister. It's just that my sister can't concentrate.

 On the other hand, Elinora's sister never makes any snowballs, but stands on her knees and warns us.

 She's like a schoolboy who only loves to throw dodgeballs. When I say it's like that, I mean it's like that.

Okay, I'm going to win. Today is the day to prove that my brother can beat his sister.

"Oh!

 We were hopeful, and we were planning our strategy.




 × X X X



Then I'm going!

Yes!

I'll make my balls.

 We call out to each other and we all leap out of the house at once.

'You're out!'

 As if to say I've been waiting for you, sister Elinora throws a snowball at me.

 It snatches my cheek and hits the house I was hiding in.

 And the dull sound of something being crushed. When I turn around, there is a snowball that has been dug in as if it had been struck with a blunt instrument.

'The walls of my house aaaaah!

"Give it up. Ehrman will fix it.

 A mournful voice from somewhere. But now is not the time to worry about such small things.

''........You're off.

Al!

I know!

 Once you get this kind of hardball, it's over.

 We were a little early in our schedule, but we'll deploy the wall as planned.

"Ice Wall!

 I put my hand on the ground and activate my ice magic.

 Then a wall of ice is created one after another to protect us. I'm not going to be the only one who has a problem with it. This is to make it easier for us to attack unilaterally.

"Magic!

'It's amazing. So much.

You're still a force to be reckoned with in vain, brother!

 It quickly takes effect and bounces the enemy's snowballs one after another. We raise the edge of our mouths at the effect, half out of the ice wall, and throw snowballs at it.

'Kyah! Lady Elinora, the ice wall is in the way and I can't hit my balls!

'Hahaha! It's a shame, sister!

That's not fair, Asmo!

I don't know!

 As far as Thor and Asmo are concerned, they seem to have the upper hand as planned.

'Oh, this is going to be interesting. Who do you think is going to win?

"Isn't this Master Alfried?

'I mean, why are you so comfortable with using so much magic?

"It's one of the Seven Wonders.

I knew it, the Lady Elinora would win, didn't I?

"I bet you a copper on Master Alfried!

"I'll give the Lady Elinora two coppers.

 A short distance away, the villagers are having some kind of a good time. It's propagated very quickly and people are gathering one by one.

 By the way, I haven't seen a woman, other than a child, even once today. Do they all have inside jobs?

 No, there's no way we would allow women in our village to play with men alone.... I have a feeling that something bad is going on without our knowledge.

 What a thought, but Elinora sister's one voice brings me back to reality.

"If there's a wall, why don't you just go around it?

 There's Sister Elinora, who goes through the wall at breakneck speed and comes around to my side.

"...sorry, that's the pit.

'What? Yikes!

''Haha, I knew sister Elinora, who is good at close combat, would do that!

 I fall in, sister Elinora, I cover the pit with ice magic and go to support Thor and the others.

 What do you think I got to the ground first, it wasn't to create a wall with ice magic, it was to make the ground cave in.

 I've made it pretty deep, and it'll buy us some time.

'Thor, Asmo! I'm here to support you!

'Yes! Throw it, throw it!

 The situation turns to three against two and we have the upper hand.

 Due to our onslaught, Sheila-san and sister Emma retreat to a house.

''f*ck it!''

 Then Asmo, seeing it as an opportunity, threw a snowball at her as a chase.

 It flew straight up and caught Sheila-san's chest as she failed to escape.

''Ah.''

""He's off his ball!"

"'Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh!'

 What elasticity. The snowball released by Asmo's hand should certainly have hit Sheila-san's chest. And yet it fell to the ground with a plop, as if the impact had been absorbed by the soft cushion.

'You did it, Asmoe!

 Sheila is angry and throws a ball as payback.

 Seeing this, Asmo tried to hide behind a wall, but there was no wall to hide behind as he went forward to chase her down, and caught her in the left abdomen.

 And the snowball made a bushy sound and should have scattered white crystals, but........

''The ball disappeared!''

No, no! My balls are buried in meat!

"'..........

 One word from Thor causes the villagers to buzz.

 ........Terrible. What a sister and brother. We just shudder at the consequences of Asmo and Sheila's actions.

'Al! How dare you--I mean, yikes!

 She crawled out of the pit of the lid-dressing, wearing magic power in her feet and fists, Elinora sister, but landed on her feet and fell into a different pit again.

''Well Al, how many pitfalls have you made?

No, everything in that area is a pit, except the one I went through.

...it's disgusting.
