Eighty-third strike: Time of Mutation

"You think... Then you can defeat me...?"

"That's the end of it...?"

"Isn't it...?"

"Yuyuko...!!"

"Then I'll... Collect Spring... Let this youkai cherry blossom bloom..."

"Break the seal...!!"

"Resurrect you..."

……

"This winter... Why is it so long? Taking a sip of the hot tea in the cup, the girl looked at the snowy scenery outside and sighed, "It's getting colder and colder now." ”

Naturally, the bamboo house cannot be dense and unventilated, and the girl's home is simply in a situation of wind and snow.

[This is no longer normal. Isara also wore a few more clothes than usual, stretched out her hand, and used her mental power to block the wind and snow out of the door [It stands to reason that spring should be ushering in by now. 】

Isara's brow furrowed slightly, "But now this situation... It's like spring has been stolen...]

"It's probably not a natural phenomenon anymore, someone is stealing spring so that it can't come. The girl affirmed, "He must be stopped, I've had enough of being confined to my house all day!"

Although winter fishing is very flavorful, the shops in the town are not open in this kind of snowstorm, and they prepare the fuel and food early enough to survive the winter, and do not open at all.

[Okay, go and go back quickly.] Isara waved her hand, looking like she was going to say goodbye to the girl.

"Well," the girl came out of the warm bed, "it's cold!"

As soon as he got out of half of his body, he quickly shrank back, feeling that he didn't want to go out again.

[......] Isara narrowed her eyes, looked at the girl with undisguised disdain in her gaze, and said lightly [Why, why did our eldest lady come back again~? 】

"Woo... I can't help it, it's too cold..."The girl tightened the quilt on her body, turning a blind eye to Isara's daily poisonous tongue taunts, looking at Isara and saying, "Hey, help me, Ilahmon!"

[Who is Eramon?] Isara complained lightly, [You're actually afraid of the cold, you're really not like it.] 】

"Cut, it's a person who wears so little in the winter, and it's cold to walk around! I don't have any clothes to wear..."The girl complained wistfully, pointing to Ishara's scarf, "Isara is a foul, she actually has such a warm scarf to wear! If I had a scarf, I would never be afraid of the cold!"

[This is a scarf used to suppress my abilities, to be precise, it has nothing to do with keeping warm...] Isara said this, but her body walked over to the cupboard and turned it over [I remember that I have a spare piece, and it doesn't matter if I give it to you. 】

"Really?!" The girl was shocked that Isara was suddenly so kind to her, her heart quickly cooled down, and she put on a defensive posture, watching Isara's movements vigilantly, "... You, you can't have some kind of conspiracy..."

"Hit you. Isara glared at the girl with dead fish eyes, and found a red scarf covered in charms.

He tore off the spell and threw it to the girl.

【… So be it. Isara nodded, watching as the girl hung the scarf around her neck.

"Well, it's warm now~" The girl looked at the red scarf around her neck with satisfaction, her nose moved slightly, and she sniffed lightly, "It's the smell of Isara!"

【… Saga, there's probably only the smell of dust on it. Isara rolled her eyes and just looked at the girl guilty of the second, but she didn't know why her face was slightly red [So satisfied, hurry up and solve the mutation, I'm also fed up with this kind of world where there is only white.] 】

"Then, I'm leaving!" this time the girl really didn't hesitate to get out of the bed and rush out of the door.

[Have a nice trip.] Isara looks at the girl and goes away... Then I saw the black shadow in the distance running back faster than running out, and looked at the girl in front of me who was touching her head and snoring [......]

"Well, I don't know where that guy is hiding..."

Isara really wanted to slap this idiot in the face now.

"Didn't you notice, it's winter, but there are cherry blossoms drifting in. Isara picked up a cherry blossom petal from the ground [Cherry blossoms don't appear in winter. 】

"Yes, so what?" the girl guessed, but didn't bother to think about it.

【… You are really hopeless, since this is a spring flower, it will naturally bloom in spring. Isara patted the girl's head and said, "In other words, the place where the spring was stolen has cherry blossoms, and as long as you follow the petals, you will be able to find the location of the person who stole the spring, it's very simple.] There's a hint of hatred in Isara's words.

"I see, don't pat me on the head, I'm your sister. The girl was seriously dissatisfied with Isara's behavior, "Just follow the petals, it's OK, I can do it." ”

[No, I'm still not at ease, I'll go with you. Ishara sighed and followed behind the girl.

"Hey, I'm your sister! I can do it! Don't turn your head around!"

……

Not long after they got on the road, they were stopped by a woman with short silver-white hair like snow, pale pupils, and very warm clothes. The air was visibly colder around her.

"It's really unexpected to meet a human going out in such a snowy weather. The woman spoke to herself, "Do you know why it is so easy to get killed?"

"Youkai...?" "In this kind of weather, even youkai are closed doors, and the only ones who can act under the snowstorm are winter monsters such as Snow Maiden," "Why did you get killed... No, we weren't killed at all. ”

"Poor man, I'm so delirious from the cold~" The woman shook her head.

"It's getting colder... I said, "Are you the one who made winter late?" the girl frowned and pointed at the woman.

[Although it feels unlikely to be her, it is indeed an indisputable fact that she made the surroundings colder.] Isara's eyes narrowed [It's better to kill it...]

"Let's kill it, then. The girl nodded, "Although it feels a little unreasonable." ”

The two men surrounded the woman.

"Hmm~ what do you want to do..."The woman let out a sneer, and seemed to understand the intention of the two, "Let the horses come here, let you see how powerful my Letty Horvatrok is, let this winter... Wait until I'm done!"

Bang -

……

"People, human beings are so scary..."
