The sky seemed to be covered by a heavy gray curtain, with thick, low-hanging clouds.
The air gradually filled with dampness and cold.
The snow had started falling last night.
It continued to fall until this morning, and not only did it not stop, It intensified, turning into a blizzard that covered the entire Northern region.
Yulian ran back indoors against the strong wind from outside.
After gently putting down the firewood in his hand, he came to the fireplace and struck sparks with a flint.
The fire in the fireplace had automatically gone out last night because the firewood had burned out.
Arriving at the City of Magic.
After Frieren and Fern obtain their First-Class Mage licenses and enter the Northern Plateau, Yulian would also have to part ways with the others, just like Sein.
"Crackling!"
The firewood crackled loudly as it burned.
The temperature inside the house also gradually warmed up.
Looking at the few people who were still sleeping, Yulian set up the pot and boiled water.
For breakfast today, he planned to cook some noodles.
Before long, when the water in the pot was boiling with a gurgling sound, Fern also opened her sleepy eyes.
Winter is very suitable for sleeping.
Even for Fern, it was no exception.
Fern, who had uncharacteristically slept in for a day, opened her eyes and saw Yulian cooking noodles by the fireplace.
"Hoo hoo~"
Yulian picked up a noodle with chopsticks and blew on it by his mouth.
Then he put it into his mouth.
"Hmm, it's cooked."
After chewing a few times casually, Yulian turned his head to wake up the others.
Although the sky outside was gloomy, It was indeed noon.
However, when Yulian turned his head, he happened to meet Fern, who was quietly watching him.
"Hmm?"
Yulian blinked his eyes.
He recalled his actions just now.
It seemed he had just eaten a noodle, and there was nothing unseemly, so he felt relieved.
"Fern, get up and eat something."
Yulian smiled with pursed lips.
"Mr. Yulian is up so early."
Everyone also woke up after Yulian's call.
A group of people sat around the wooden table eating noodles.
They spoke a few words from time to time.
"After all, if the weather were good, we would have to hurry on our way today."
Yulian nodded and said with a smile, lying.
"But I didn't expect there to be such a big blizzard outside."
"Gurgle~"
Frieren drank the noodle soup with a small spoon.
She looked at the gloomy sky outside the window and murmured.
"In this weather, I'm afraid we can't travel, can we?"
Fern thought for a moment, and her eyes lit up as she said to Sein.
"Hmm?"
"Ah!"
Sein was just thinking about when this sudden blizzard would stop a second ago.
The next second, when he heard Fern's words, he immediately laughed.
"Naturally, we can't travel in this weather..."
"It seems we'll have to stay in the Village for a while."
The peaceful Village not only has delicious food, There are also taverns, general stores, and even some exquisite small shops.
In short, it means that during the days of the blizzard, Even if you stay here for a while, you will definitely not be bored.
"A tavern, well, you don't have to wait for me for dinner tonight."
Sein rubbed his hands together happily.
Braving the wind and snow, he walked towards the tavern with anticipation.
"Really, as soon as he hears about alcohol, he's like that..."
Fern complained with dissatisfaction.
Although Heiter once said that alcohol is the best of all, But you shouldn't become a drunkard either.
A little drink is good for the mood, a big drink is bad for the body, hey!
"Um, I'll go for a walk too."
Yulian looked at Fern's appearance.
He didn't dare to say that he was going to the tavern like Sein.
"Is Mr. Yulian going too?"
Fern frowned slightly.
Her slightly pouted little mouth expressed her dissatisfaction.
"I'm not going drinking, I'm not going drinking, haha..."
Yulian waved his hand awkwardly.
"Anyway, you don't have to wait for me for dinner."
Saying that, Yulian also circled around in the opposite direction from where Sein had left, and after seeing Sein enter the tavern from a distance, he followed him in.
"Then it's just the two of us, huh?"
Fern looked at the two people who had already walked away.
She looked helplessly at Frieren and Stark.
Stark was fine. He wasn't interested in the tavern and small shops that Frieren mentioned as he watched the two leave.
He just stood quietly beside Fern, extending his hand and letting the snow blown by the blizzard fall on him.
"Um, Fern..."
Frieren smiled with pursed lips.
"You don't have to save me any food either."
"Is Mistress Frieren going out too?"
Fern's eyes widened.
Wouldn't that mean only she and Stark were in the wooden house...
"Mhm."
"I remember there's a magic shop run by a mysterious old man here."
"Last time I didn't have time to see everything he was selling."
"This time I can have a good look!"
Frieren said, her eyes sparkling.
She was clearly very excited.
"But..."
But it's just me and Stark at "home".
The more Fern thought about it, the more awkward she felt.
"What's wrong?"
Frieren naturally noticed Fern's hesitation.
"Can I go with Mistress Frieren?"
"Hmm?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Frieren's green eyes.
She couldn't help but quietly glance at Stark beside her, who was looking around and pretending to be busy.
Logically speaking, shouldn't they be quite happy together?
Why would Fern want to go with me?
"Mistress Frieren?"
Seeing that Frieren didn't speak, Fern could only ask again.
At the same time, Fern pursed her lips.
If it was really just her and Sir Stark at home, it would be so awkward!
"Yes, you can, but"
Frieren looked at Stark.
"But Stark will be bored if he's at home alone, won't he?"
Frieren thought, stroking her chin.
She felt like complaining that Sein and Yulian went off to have fun by themselves but didn't take Stark.
Sein was okay, it was understandable that he didn't take Stark because he was going to the tavern.
But Yulian didn't even say where he was going...
What a headache...
Frieren felt a bit listless.
She didn't know how to express her feelings.
However, Frieren knew that if she were Yulian at this moment, Yulian would definitely say: When will this young couple finally get together...
If I stay, I am undoubtedly a third wheel.
If I take them both, I am still a third wheel...
