Snow wakes up, but she’s feeling calmer after crying so much.
I explain to her what Reina is doing again, and it feels like she accepts it in her own way. When Tiltue plays with her, she looks to be in a better mood.
When night comes, they tire themselves out and fall asleep, so I carry both Tiltue and Snow to bed, and then think about what to do from now on.
“Yggdrasil…”
It’s very important to great spirits, so Snow should be interested.
And since Reina isn’t around, it’s hard to make Snow happy when it comes to food.
“Her expression looked really iffy today too…”
Snow can have the nectar she likes in Yggdrasil, and Miss Miriel said that magic energy stabilizes over there too.
I’ve refrained from going there since the high elves had a lot of trouble recently, but…
‘They would be happy to have you! And Yggdrasil would be happy!’
Is what I heard.
“But there’s also the whole thing with Edinburgh’s memories to consider.”
She’ll probably say she doesn’t mind, out of consideration for Snow, but I have a prior arrangement with her.
We need to prioritize getting her memories back. Not to mention that if she doesn’t remember, Reina’s efforts will be wasted.
“We’ll talk about it again.”
◇ ◇ ◇
The next day, Edinburgh, who’s staying in Merlin’s place, comes over, and I tell her about Yggdrasil.
“Of course it’s all right.”
“But your memories…”
“When I went to the high elf village last time, I felt nostalgic. Mother told me I was a normal elf, but I might have some relation to that place.”
“Ah…”
That’s true. I just saw her as a vampire familiar of Wil, but she was originally an elf.
Becoming a familiar extended her life, meaning she has been alive longer than the high elves here, but there might still be clues there.
“Ah… Good.”
“Hn? What is?”
“Well, I was thinking about how to approach this.”
When I tell her I’m glad this ended up being related to her, she smiles gently like always.
“You don’t have to feel reserved with me.”
“It’s not that simple. You always look after Snow and help me.”
“The latter also applies to me. But regardless, should we leave soon?”
“Yes. Snow is raring to go too.”
Her favorite backpack is packed with toys and snacks, including dolls that look like Luna and Katima that are attached to it. Reina made them, and there are a lot more in that series.
The dolls are pretty big, meaning she can attach a couple. She’s not using Tiltue’s because she’s coming along.
“Mumumu… Do I have to go?”
“Yes! Together!”
“Mu…”
Tiltue’s issues with the high elves have been solved, but she still feels reluctant to go to Yggdrasil.
But she can’t win against Snow, so she’s coming along.
“Should I call the others?”
“Yes. Let’s try inviting Merlin and the others.”
Everyone’s been busy creating their own communities lately, but I wonder.
Anyway, I’ll go to Xellos’ place while the others get ready.
“Sorry. I’m going to train with Graham and the others today.”
He’s been training alone lately, and he’s also training today.
Come to think of it, I was talking about Arc yesterday, but Xellos is already able to walk around on his own. He’s gotten pretty strong.”
“You’ve really been working hard lately.”
“Reina’s getting stronger too, right? If I lose to her, I’ll become the seventh seat!”
“You’re worried about that? That’s surprising.”
I thought he’d be more the type to want to improve himself, not care about numbers.
“Well, it’s like a reference… If a guy doesn’t have his pride, it’s all over.”
He smiles, and I can tell he’s enjoying life here.
“I’ll keep working hard to be able to beat Zephir!”
“I see, good luck.”
Zephir mastered magic, so he’s been working every day to master hot springs. And Merlin is going to various places to make tasty tea.
Seti wants to become stronger too, so he’s training with Arc…
“I’m glad everyone’s found something to do on this island.”
“…”
I whisper as I leave Xellos’ place, and see Cara by herself.
I haven’t spoken to her much, but she seems a bit left out.
I’d like to help if there’s anything she wants to do, but…
I feel like she doesn’t really trust me, and she rarely gets near…
“Maybe I’ll ask once Edinburgh’s issue is solved.”
This island has a lot of dangerous stuff, but a lot of fun places too.
“I’m sure she’ll find something fun.”
I say as she disappears into the forest, and…
“Ah, I could’ve invited her to go to Yggdrasil.”
Everyone has their plans, so it’s just the four of us.
Tiltue invited Luna, but…
“I didn’t expect Luna to say no.”
“Krr and Grr got hurt, so it’s understandable.”
The bloody wolves she treats like family.
They’ve become pretty rowdy lately, and go out hunting in the forest by themselves, but they lost to a rabbit.
Thankfully, they managed to escape, but now Luna is tending to their big wounds.
“Are Krr and Grr okay…”
Monsters of this island are smart, and those two come visit often. They even come without Luna, so Snow got to know them, and now she’s worried.
“Let’s go visit them later.”
“…Yes.”
“Let’s not get gloomy, and enjoy the picnic!”
“Wah!?”
Snow is trudging along, but Tiltue grabs her hand and runs.
Snow is surprised at first, but then starts laughing.
“They get along so well.”
“Yes. It’s nice just watching them.”
When I decided to marry both Reina and Tiltue, I was wondering how to treat them, but…
Looking at that, it’s obvious we don’t have to change anything.
“But they’re going to leave us behind unless we run a bit too.”
“Ah!”
They really are running pretty fast.
They keep getting further and further away, so we have to run to chase them.

Thanks for the treat.
