Chapter 260
This winter, Shuna saw something that would make her laugh out loud—
The dog that accompanied Will for many years and that he had even trained too carefully walked out of the kennel, stepped on the dog tray, turned around many times, and crashed into a tree and died.
"This guy, why does he remember this scene so clearly? He even remembers how the dog's tail swung. You are really a strange person."
She said to herself and waved her hand.
"Forget it, if I had encountered such a funny thing, I would probably remember it for a lifetime."
Then...
She stood there and heard Will's entire "fate" speech and the process of Iel's self-awareness changing from a wolf to a dog.
These were very fresh memories, and she had never heard Will mention them.
"You are so young and you are talking about fate... You really are..."
She couldn't find the adjective and stopped talking here.
Then she sat on the "snow", although she couldn't feel the "snow" in her memory.
The scene began to rotate and returned to Will's room. This room where he had lived since he was born.
She saw the most surprising and incredible thing in her entire memory.
"Today is the first day of organizing the 'system'. Let me think about what task should be written first..."
After everyone fell asleep, little Will climbed to his seat and turned on the desk lamp.
He opened a red booklet and wrote the words "Task System" on it.
But he did not write anything on the first page.
But...
He turned to the last page.
"Write down the ultimate task first."
Xuna walked to the side of the table.
Looking at the last page of the book.
[Reward: Find your own "heroine". ]
Then, Will wrote...
a page of heroines like a typewriter.
At that time, his expression was not like that of a child of his age, and even not like him now.
There was a very rare...
"madness" in him.
Chapter 287 The Winter of the Beast-eared Maid (1)
Two more days passed.
What Will didn't expect was...
During this week and two days, he did not meet Treya who came to visit him, but he did not meet Shuna who came to visit him.
He did not meet Leah who might be released from her mother.
It was like he entered winter peacefully, then watched a heavy snow fall slowly peacefully, and then waited peacefully for the ground in front of him to be covered with white.
Will also found it difficult to describe his current "stagnation" experience.
He seemed to have been busy since he was born here, and he took a break for more than a week.
But facing the falling snow and other girls who didn't know what they were doing, as well as his completely cut off source of information.
He seemed to have no way out.
But now here, he is not bad. He can enjoy a cup of hot black tea from Iel every day, read the few remaining books, and write down his thoughts and notes.
If there is any change...
Because the "myopia" of his left eye has been cured in a strange way. He can only find the frame of the single-lens glasses with a layer of paint peeling off in the house, and then put the previous myopia glasses in.
Although he felt very uncomfortable and it looked like it might fall off at any time, he just wore it like this.
And...
He could sleep with Iai'er's warm tail!
The day passed leisurely like this...
...
Until one day he opened the curtains and saw the sunshine and clear sky outside.
Although the ground was still covered with snow, at least the blizzard had stopped.
"Master, the sky is clear now!"
Iai yawned, rubbing her eyes while fixing her hair in front of the mirror.
"Yes. Why don't we go out and have a look? Um... The supplies need to be replenished. Not to mention the things for the fire, the food is almost exhausted. I also have a place I want to go to see."
Iai'er's hand next to her hair stopped.
In Will's left eye, she had that strange pink color again.
"...Iai, then... I don't need the master..."
It was obvious that she seemed to be afraid of "losing" again, afraid that once he left, he would no longer need her.
Will had already seen it.
Her morbidity was very easy to "guess", and the stupid little maid never thought of "hiding". No matter what her mood was, it was all written on her face.
But her desire for Will's love and need written on her face was like a sweet trap to guide him to "respond".
"Of course, together. I need you to come with me."
"... Eh?"
"If I were alone, it would be difficult to bring back firewood or food. And I guess it would be easy to be recognized, so it's better for you to negotiate for the purchase."
"... Hmm?"
Iel tilted her head, as if she had never expected Will to give this answer.
Will reached out and stroked her hand that was touching the hair by her ear, and was about to touch her head.
"So it's okay, let's go."
However, touching Iel's hair like this...
He seemed to find something different from before.
For example...
"Iai'er, is your hair... a little longer than before?"
In Will's impression, Iai'er has always had short hair that reaches her shoulders, but because her hair is a little curly, this shoulder-length hair has a cute round head.
But now...
Although it is not as long as "waist-length hair", her hair is basically as long as the middle of her back.
She looks like a graceful wife.
"This...this..."
She looked at the mirror in a panic and measured her hair horizontally with her palm.
"It has indeed grown a lot."
"Iai'er's short hair before was because of regular trimming?"
"Yeah. But actually this time, it grew a little faster than I thought..." Iai'er put her hands on her chest, her ears kept closing and opening, and her face was a little red. Will could see that she was shy, "Maybe...maybe because of Iai's physique, if...if it enters the breeding period, it will...will grow exceptionally fast...right..."
Although she stumbled to finish her reason.
These reasons were actually from her...she secretly read some books about the physical condition of orcs.
This...it's so embarrassing to say this!
"Oh~! So that's it."
"If the young master doesn't like it, I'll find a barber shop to cut it short when I go out today...Of course I can do it myself, but I'm really afraid it won't be good-"
Will didn't wait for Iel to finish, and his fingers slid down from her long hair.
"I like it very much, keep it up."
Iel pouted.
"The young master really hasn't changed. He always says things like 'good job, keep it up'. He pretends to be a teacher who knows a lot!"
"No, this time it's because I like it."
"......! Let's not talk about this for now, I...let's go to the nearby town for a walk..."
...
"Huh...it turns out that the snow has accumulated so thickly."
He and Iel went out. They had to go out through the main door of the house first, so they would pass by the small courtyard that Iel had taken care of.
Stepping on the thick blood on the ground, Will was like a child who saw snow for the first time, and he was very happy to step forward one by one.
The snow was soft.
"Master, be careful not to slip."
"It's okay, look--"
Will opened his hands and fell back with confidence.
He just wanted to demonstrate that the thickness of the snow was such that he would not get hurt even if he fell down.
"Master!"
But...
Iaier, who was stupid, simple and straightforward, did not give him this opportunity. The moment he fell back, he supported his back and held him firmly in his arms.
"Okay, Iaier protected the master from getting hurt."
"I... I want to show you that actually... Actually, this snow is very thick, and it won't be a problem if you fall down..."
"Yes, sorry, then... Iaier will let go now!"
"Wait--!"
Bang.
Unlike falling back himself, Will was not prepared this time. After Iaier let go of his hand immediately, he fell into the snow.
"Master? How are you? Are you really... okay?"
Iai'er's head came closer, she looked at him worriedly, ready to pull him up at any time.
"No injuries, but a little frightened."
Will scratched his head and sat up.
"Master, there is still snow on your head."
Iai'er was about to reach out, but was hit on the forehead by the snowball that Will took out from his right hand.
"Huh!?"
"Hehe, didn't expect it?"
