The Pilapil snowy mountains, a vast mountainous area covering a huge expansion of land. Due to its location, it is somewhat used as a border dividing the Blackrock Republic and the Asta Empire.
"Thi-this place is verrrry colllld..." [Irvine]
"I told you not to come cane boy." [Angelica]
"Sh-shut up! You! You..." [Irvine]
"Ir-vi-ne." [Maria]
"I-I'm sorry!" [Irvine]
Maria is scary... she started giving Irvine a scolding.
Ever since the misunderstanding at Dalio Maria has been very harsh on Irvine that I somehow feel bad for the guy. Only somehow though...
"Ah-achoo!" [Mooly]
"Come here Mooly." [Angelica]
"Thanks, sister." [Mooly]
I tucked Mooly in my jacket. I should've asked hers to be made a tad bit longer, but because of her tail. I told the tailor to make one only a few centimeters above the knee like a mini skirt.
Her jacket is made of fluffy white fur, as for the design, I added some black spots to it. From its shortness, you can barely see her underwear. Am I hearing some sirens from the distance? Nah, it may have just been the snowstorm.
Now, she looks like a real cowgirl. I will invoke •Explosion• on anyone who dares to say that Mooly isn't cute.
"Hey Blake, why are you being so quiet?" [Angelica]
"It's nothing." [Blake]
For some reason, he seems to be in a bad mood.
"Ei!" [Angelica]
"A-Angelica?!" [Blake]
I grabbed him by the arm and locked our arms together.
"Still mad?" [Angelica]
Leaning forward as I asked him. Making my chest hit his shoulder even though I dislike doing it.
"No..." [Blake]
"Good~" [Angelica]
Why is he like this? I haven't seen him showing this kind of attitude before?
"Do you want me to kick Irvine out?" [Angelica]
When I said that. I thought for a moment that I saw Irvine's hair stood up. Did he hear me perchance?
"Not... really." [Blake]
He's waving his hands as he averts his gaze. As I thought, it is because of this guy. Irvine, is such a reckless idiot, despite being a magician himself. He just rushes into battle head-on, where we had to go and cover for him.
When I first fought him I thought that he had some skill in fighting, but it was just him using mostly magic to distract me. It doesn't seem to work on monsters though...
Stupid guy, nearly getting the both of us killed most of the time. I could understand why Blake is worried. He has the skills, but he has little to no experience in dealing with monsters and he often breaks his sword, because it is somewhat like a rapier the blade breaks easily, if struck hard enough.
Since he likes to break it that much. I let him cover the repair costs with his own money and for being stupid and rushing alone, I won't offer to enchant his weapon for now. At least that's what Maria and I agreed on, yet he still continues his idiocy. When the time comes that he has no money left, I'll let him suffer for a bit.
As I've heard from Maria, you get a cane for being one of the top students at the academy. I asked her if it was a sword cane, but as a dropout herself, she doesn't know. It might just be his preferences and he had it remodeled.
"Guys I can see the village up ahead!" [Maria]
"Good, I'm starv...ing" [Angelica]
Then, I saw the village...
"Everyone, we're heading back to Dalio." [Angelica]
"What?!!" [Blake/Maria/Irvine]

"Why sis?" [Mooly]
"Angelica, we've walked for three weeks just to get here." [Blake]
You may be thinking of why we haven't brought our dragons along with us. It is because that the weather here is inhospitable for them, so we left them with my parents and the others back on Dalio.
"I know..." [Angelica]
"Is there something bothering you?" [Maria]
"Yeee-ah..." [Angelica]
I point straight to where the village was. To be honest, I thought that it was just a normal village like ours...
The Pilapil village, it is the only village in this area. What is unique about this village is it is built by dwarfs.
The whole village was dug from inside the mountain. Apparently, this area has a large number of minerals, mostly metal. Slowly expanding the village as they continued to dig, forge and repeat. I don't even know why dwarfs liked to make and forge stuff, to begin with...
As a village that was built by dwarfs, most of the population is dwarf, obviously... I'm having a bad feeling that if they dig too much, the whole mountain might cave in and make a pancake out of everyone inside.
Also, to add to that, it's a damn cave! Thinking of my past experience with caves, I wouldn't want to enter one ever again...
"What about the village?" [Irvine]
"Ohh, I see." [Blake]
At least there is someone who understands.
"Angelica, don't worry, there aren't any insects inside." [Blake]
"Insects..." [Angelica]
"You're scared of bugs? Piff..." [Irvine]
Irvine snickers at me for being scared. He probably hasn't even seen a big assed insect with the size of an average human. If we ever encountered one and god forbid me if we did. I'll make him so scared that he'll be scarred for life!
"I hope you get frostbite!" [Angelica]
"Angelica." [Maria]
"Mmm?" [Angelica]
"I know you'll like this place for sure, so there's no need to be scared..." [Maria]
Walking by at the entrance, I saw various shops lined up.
"WEAPON SHOPS?!" [Angelica]
WEAPONS! LOTS OF THEM! ALSO WITH DIFFERENT DESIGNS! I've seen my new paradise!
No wonder Maria told me that I would like this place.
"Happy?" [Maria]
"Maria..." [Angelica]
"Yes?" [Maria]
"I wuv yuuuh. Have my babies!" [Angelica]
"Kyah?!" [Maria]
(Smooch~ smooch~ smooch~)
She had lots of kisses afterwards~ at the cheeks btw~
Blake is staring at us from the side looking jealous. Sorry, Blake but I don't kiss guys... except for my father Steven that is.
After some time... two hours to be exact.
"Noooooooo!! I dun wanna!" [Angelica]
I was forcefully dragged away by them to the adventurers guild to register our change of location because I wouldn't stop entering one weapon shop up to the other.
Then, they quickly rented a room at an inn, because they were already too hungry from following me around.
When I had my full, I sulked in the corner of our room.
"Angelica, do you want to take a bath together?" [Maria]
"With you? Certainly!" [Angelica]
Seeing the sulking me. Maria tried to lift my spirits by offering to have a bath together. A hawt bath with Maria. Ahh... my mood is getting better.
"Sis I'm coming with you." [Mooly]
Bummer... I better keep this under R18 then, at least I'll try to wash both of your bodies. Heh-heh-heh-heh.
"Wow, there's a hot spring?!" [Maria]
This inn is great! I can use this place to peep on Maria while we take a bath.
"No, it's a geothermal spring."
"Geo-thermal?" [Maria/Mooly]
A dwarf woman said, so they also use that term here huh... the dwarfs were more advanced than the humans as I thought they were.
"How does it work?" [Mooly]
"We've built a pipe that is directly connected underground to here. When we pour water into the pipe it comes into contact with the hot rocks below, then turns it into steam which heats the bath."
After a brief explanation of the dwarf, she left us to enjoy ourselves.
Taking a hot bath with Maria. I wish that I could see thru that towel of hers.
"W-what?" [Maria]
"You're so sexy~" [Angelica]
"Ehhhhhhhhhhh?!" [Maria]
"Just joking." [Angelica]
"Angelica, you meanie..." [Maria]
"You do have a good figure though." [Angelica]
"You think so?" [Maria]
Maria stands up while turning around in front of me. Thicc and steamy just the way I like it.
"Why would I lie?" [Angelica]
"But you have a much better figure yourself." [Maria]
"Really?" [Angelica]
"You have huge breasts and a slim waist." [Maria]
"Huge breasts..." [Angelica]
"Why the sad face all of a sudden?!" [Maria]
"You know, this huge rack is a bother when running and fighting. I would rather have your chest than this, to be honest." [Angelica]
"But, Blake seems to like them." [Maria]
"It's normal for boys to stare at a girl's chest. Even I too do it someti... I mean ya." [Angelica]
I randomly glanced at one point, then Maria followed my gaze. Mooly was at that exact spot I was looking at swimming around happily, the steam covering a very critical area.
"Did you just say that you were? ... ... ... nevermind." [Maria]
"What's with that long pause?!" [Angelica]
Maria gave me a weird look... Hey! It wasn't intentional! I wasn't trying to stare at Mooly, she was at the wrong place at the wrong time! Also, why is the steam acting like censors?!!
From the other side of the wall~
Two guys wearing bath towels on their heads were conversing from the other side of the spring.
"How did you guys meet Maria?" [Irvine]
"We started having problems with difficult quests because of the increase in monsters and thought that it would be best if there is someone who can use offensive, healing and supportive magic in our party. We then made a request for a magician at the adventurers guild." [Blake]
"Ahh, so you requested for her." [Irvine]
"Not really, we didn't know of any magicians so we just let the guild pick them out for us. On the meeting day, she was late for one hour, which made Angelica quite angry." [Blake]
"T-that woman?!" [Irvine]
"Well, Maria, had some problems at that time and was worried that we may reject her. In doing so she lacked sleep and had overslept." [Blake]
"I-I see..." [Irvine]
"Speaking of which, why aren't you with her?" [Blake]
"Eh, because I was..." [Irvine]
"I won't ask if you don't want to tell." [Blake]
I guess this person also has his own reasons.
"Hey, can I ask you something?" [Irvine]
"Yeah sure ask away." [Blake]
"Is your girlfriend a tomboy or something?" [Irvine]
"She's just playing with Maria, It's like a normal thing for them. Also, she is not my girlfriend." [Blake]
"O-okay." [Irvine]
Finishing up their bath everyone converged in the meeting room.
"Where's Angelica?" [Maria]
"Isn't she with you?" [Blake]
"Sis said, she has something to do." [Mooly]
The three people looked at each other and arrived at the same conclusion.
"She snuck out." [Blake/Maria/Irvine]
