"It's cold!" Alena shook her arms to open the door to the dormitory and walked in covered in snow and wind.

"Meow~"

An orange cat emerged from the neck of her coat and carefully surveyed the atrium. Lorain Hill was cooking dinner in the kitchen, while Nia was cleaning the room.

Taking off his snowflake-stained coat and placing it on a shelf beside him, the cat jumped out and ran straight into the bedroom. Alena greeted Nia and trotted all the way to the kitchen, holding Lorain Hill in her apron with both hands.

"Uh, I miss you, Lorain~" Alena buried her head behind Loren Hill, rubbing constantly.

Lorain Hill broke free from Alena's embrace with a little disgust, and then said angrily, "You think I'm cooking." ”

"Hey, hey, hey~" Alena pretended to smile stupidly, and then looked at what was cooking in the pot. Small white transparent pieces mixed with slightly elastic pieces of meat tumble in the hot soup, giving off a strange aroma.

"What is this?"

"This is mutton and radish soup." Lorain Hill quickly chopped the chives and put them in the pot, then after a moment's thought, he picked up the small bottle on the kitchen shelf and poured out a little peppercorns and put it in.

"Lamb...... Alena asked in a whisper as she looked at Niya who had walked into the kitchen.

"Isn't Nia angry?"

"I'm going to be angry when you say that." Nia has been much more cheerful this semester, no longer as timid as she used to be, and she pulled Alena and walked out.

"Okay, don't disturb Sister Luolan's cooking, you can wait outside slowly." Alena was reluctantly pushed out by Nia.

"Nia, you've changed," Alena said with a smirk.

"You're not Nia before, how well-behaved Nia used to ......"

"I'm sorry to let Alena have such a big misunderstanding, it was always me who was wrong before." As the two of them walked into the atrium, the orange cat also walked over, rubbing around Nia's feet, meowing and meowing.

"Good~" Niya picked up the cat and sat at the table, and then warm ripples appeared around her body, and the kitten lay comfortably in her arms, her paws rubbing against Niya's light gray collar.

Compared with the first half of the year, Niya in winter wore a better look, a light gray top, a short gray-red fleece skirt underneath, and thick stockings on her legs. As an extraordinary person who is good at fire, she is not very afraid of the cold, but the surroundings of her body are relatively warm.

"I want it too." Alena leaned on top of Nya and teased the orange cat, and the coldness in her body slowly dissipated.

"When did Nia arrive?"

"I arrived this morning, Sister Loraine arrived yesterday, and Lady's Lotice didn't come." Nya replied briefly.

"Did Nya's mission go well during the holidays? Lily and I had a lot of effort, but the guy was too timid and kept running around. Alena whispered about her teammates, thinking about the happy holiday, with a hint of lightness in her voice.

"My words are okay, it's mainly Sister Luolan's help." Niya thought about the holiday, and the corners of her eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Alena turned her head and looked at Nia: "It's a little strange, how can Nya learn from Kafra and call Sister Loraine." Loraine is about the same age as us. ”

"Because Lorain is really... Okay. Niya explained in a whisper, as if remembering something, and ended up with only a good word.

"Okay, leave this ...... alone"

The door lock rang, and a blonde girl pushed the door in, she was wearing a light yellow velvet winter dress, her figure was graceful, she took off the hood on her head, pulled her long golden spiral hair out of the hat, and exhaled softly.

"Lettis, you're finally back." Alena and Nia leaned together as the blonde lady walked into the house.

"Is everyone back?" Lettice said as she walked, then placed the box behind her in the room.

"Well, Loren is cooking in the kitchen." Nia nodded, this time without a suffix.

"Whew, that's good, I'll be able to eat what Loren made later." Lotice dragged a chest into the hall and opened it, revealing a delicate brass shell.

"What is this?" Alena asked with a little curiosity.

"This is a new invention of our faction, called the 'Circulating Radiator'."

The alchemical artifact made of brass is probably a rectangular in appearance, with shutter-like sloping openings on both sides, revealing two circular mesh openings in front and back.

Lotice twisted the bolt on it, then pressed the gem on the surface, and entered a burst of magic power, and a slight sound came from inside.

From the mesh-like opening, it appears that there are fan blades rotating inside, and then warm air flows out of the hole, constantly circulating through the room.

"This seems to work very well." Alena walked over with great interest, crouched down to the side, and watched it work.

"Is it a mana?" She pressed on.

"Magic Sequence 3 can make it run for a day and a night with half of its magic power, and Magic Sequence 2 can barely be enough for one night."

"That's right." Alena whispered.

"It doesn't feel like it's very useful, there are few transcendents, and it must be a magic sequence."

"But as long as someone injects magic power, it will be very comfortable to use." Lettice explains its merits with a slight dissatisfaction.

"Even if a flame transcendent maintains just the right temperature, it will be very tiring, and if you doze off, it is easy to cause a fire. Not only that, but it's always embarrassing to have someone else standing in the bedroom while sleeping, but it's a lot more convenient with this, and you can carry it around at will. ”

While Alena and Lettice were arguing about the usefulness of the new creation, Loren Hill finally prepared dinner and, with Nia's help, brought out the pots and bowls.

"Alright, let's eat, two little pigs."

"Good~"

The four people and one cat in the dormitory got together again, eating dinner happily, from time to time there was the clear sound of knives, forks and chopsticks colliding, white heat came out of the casserole, rising to the ceiling, the transparent glass on the window was also covered with a layer of white mist, the noisy room was extremely warm, and the cold wind outside the window, snowflakes were flying, and there were bursts of whistling sound from time to time.

Alena drank a mouthful of hot soup and felt comfortable. "It was a cosy night."

"Well, but there aren't many days like this." Lettice is not as free and easy as she used to be, but has something on her mind.

"What's wrong?" Alena asked, a little curious.

"Hmm...... It's nothing, I mean the promotion assessment at the end of the year is coming, are you ready to go to which college? Lettice shook her head slightly, picked up a piece of radish, and said slowly.

"You and I must be going to the Tower of the Lookout in the north, and we'll see Lorain and Nia."

"I'll go to the city by the lake." Then Lohiel would go to the Sanctuary of Contemplation to the west, Lorain Hill thought to herself.

"I choose the pier that does not fall, the sequence of war." Nya's small voice slowly spoke.

"Huh?" ×3
