Gamu Gamu......

"Please, don't make a caveman-like sound, okay?"

Ellie lashed out at me. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Gamu"

I twisted a straw stalk out of my mouth and licked my lips.

"It was originally recommended to me by you?"

The stalk of a coniferous plant.

The tip has a fruit like a glass ball, but it's as hard as a stone, so you have to break it off and throw it away.

Then the needles that were neat like a shuttle bullet were removed, and the remaining stalks were as thick as chopsticks, exuding an enticing sweet smell.

When chewed in the mouth, it will first emit a spicy taste like wild pepper, and this pungent taste will dissipate in the mouth immediately like candy wrappers.

This is followed by a sweetness like honeysuckle.

"Hmph, bring it"

Ellie snatched the snack from my hand and poked it into her mouth.

Phew!

Unfortunately, the taste of this thing is fleeting.

The rest of the part is as difficult to ingest as the dregs of sugar cane.

"You don't even leave me some, little ghost!"

"Yes, yes, Mistress Elle is teaching ...... Yo, there, there!"

When I turned around, I saw a plant of the same kind again.

In the low vegetation, it is already considered tall, and even then it is not as tall as Ellie.

"Little ghost, you're getting more and more rude!!"

The little guy shook my face with both hands, and there was a strong complaint from the soul link, and he was very unhappy that his height was compared to a small sapling in the Northland.

Wow -

Floating out of the golden light, Linda landed lightly on her toes without making a sound.

"No, sister"

The thoughtful sister has a handful full of snacks in her palm, uh, no, tree poles.

While there was nothing wrong with this plant, and the rough bark on it had been lovingly peeled off, this was not what Elle was after.

"Poof!"

The little guy hugged his hands and turned his head away from his sister.

"Huh?"

Linda didn't understand, my sister obviously wanted to taste this thing, but now she doesn't want any of them?

"Don't take her seriously, Ellie just prefers to fight for food...... up"

Before he finished a sentence, he was knocked on the skull coldly.

"You're going to fight?"

"Look at me if I don't fix your little thing today!"

Linda hurriedly pulled me and Elle apart.

"You two!"

Linda put the young lady on her shoulder and let me walk on the other side of her, thus separating me from Ellie.

"Noisy, noisy, all the way from the border of the Satie chieftains to the North Pole! Are you rhinos?"

Linda was obviously very unhappy with the performance of the two of us, and for the first time in my memory, the older sister to me and the younger sister to Ellie, showed an impatient expression.

"Don't you feel tired if you don't mention it?"

Linda seems to like the quiet type, and this is the opposite of Ellie, this energetic little guy is always looking for something more novel and fun.

If you want Elle to stop, it's better to just ask for her little life.

"So, Sister Ellie, you have to ...... That's not how Mespil ......"

Linda chattered like a homeroom teacher handing out exam papers after the mid-term exam.

'Don't be like Mespil, little ghost, at least, don't infect me'

Ellie looked at her sister with a look of regret and whispered to me from the soul link.

'Don't worry, if one of the two of us becomes like Mespil, that person will definitely not be me'

For some reason, I felt a dislike for Mespier's sword-like character, as if I had lived with Mespier for many years and was used to his style.

'Hmph, are you questioning me, Princess Eliehana, how could I possibly become like my brother'

At the same time, Ellie's psychology suddenly developed a sense of disgust, if she was allowed to spend a day alone with Meispier, the little guy would definitely fight with the elf king.

Oh...... Soul Link.

Vaguely, I felt that the distance between the links was shortening, and Ellie and I were getting closer to each other and getting more ...... Similar.

It is no longer the extent to which one person's thoughts and emotions affect another, but - even the character and instinct have become very similar.

However, I didn't mention this to Elle on the Soul Link, and Elle didn't take the initiative to think about it.

"Sister, are you listening?"

Linda squeezed Ellie's little hand, and the feeling of being wrapped in a warm palm was also transmitted to mine through the soul link.

"You're chatting with Issadur on Soul Link again, are you talking badly about me?"

"No, no, how is it possible!"

Elle's surprised and nervous expression, widening eyes, and twitching corners of her mouth in panic all exposed the little guy's heart.

"But...... Arctic, ......"

Ignoring the rivalry between the two sisters, I looked far away.

The so-called Arctic is even more barren than I thought.

The sparse low-slung vegetation looks like a refugee who has survived an apocalypse, vicissitudes and lifeless.

Most of the ground is bare, and the seemingly solid pieces of rubble turn into powder when you step on it.

The rocks turned to dust in the cold wind, and the dust re-solidified in the rain and hardened into stones.

I don't know how many times this process is repeated here, so much so that you can even feel the weight of time that can sink everything into a fog.

"Is there really life in such a place?"

If it were on Earth, I'd bet that even the longest-lived bacteria would be fossilized by this cycle.

"Puff little guy, you're right~"

Elle covered her mouth with both hands, stared at me with a pair of smiling eyes, and mocked me in her heart for stumbling into the truth of the matter.

There are indeed only fossils in such places.

The only difference from the human world is that the fossils here have life.

For a long time, the magic of the torrent continued to wash over the rocks here, giving them the spirit and will, that is, the giants of the Aurora World.

Whew――

I exhaled, warmed my palms, and then reached out with two hands to cover Ellie's little hands in my palms, and I could feel Elle's heart full of satisfaction from the soul link.

"Does it really matter to you two?"

Linda's pointy ears moved deftly, as if to remind me.

"Well, I'm fine, even if it's a human, after all, I'm from the north, and for a day or two, there's nothing wrong with this kind of weather."

As I spoke, I pulled on my sweatshirt, which was supposedly incapable of protecting against the low temperatures of the Arctic, but in the world of the Aurora it was a different story.

Ellie and I used our meagre mana to keep our body temperature to a minimum, and since the torrent was so strong here, the mana that had been expended could be replenished quickly.

"But our princess may be choking enough"

For the first time, Elle felt the cold in the truest sense of the word.

But she doesn't seem to hate the feeling of coldness and pain, and this thing we know as 'cold' is actually quite new to the little ones.

"Aren't you arguing again?"

Linda looked back at me, then at Ellie, who was sitting on her shoulder.

"Well, I promise!"

Elle clenched her two little fists and smiled innocently, like a little girl who promised to take good care of the house, but wanted to turn on the TV as soon as possible.

"Then I'll come when I go"

Before Linda could finish speaking, she turned into a golden light and disappeared from us.

Ellie landed definitely, grabbed my arm lightly with one hand, and climbed up with only a little force, and was done steadily.

"Yo, you're used to this kind of body, huh?"

"Hmph, I'm Ellie Heranna, don't be surprised"

Even with human life, the little guy quickly regained a wonderful sense of balance, and I have to sigh that the creature of the elf is really amazing.

"By the way, when will this be the end?"

I glanced ahead, the boundless wilderness, full of boredom.

"Shall we go over there?"

There was a slight glint in the little one's eyes, and she seemed to sense something, but she couldn't be sure, just pointed to the other side of the horizon.

A grove of low trees.

"Okay, sit tight"

Curiosity and ideas came flooding out in patches, and I couldn't tell which belonged to me and which belonged to the little one sitting on my shoulder.

Also, I don't think it's necessary to distinguish between each other.
