Chapter 79
Lermiel went to the opposite side.
He moved quietly beyond the line.
The moment he went to the opposite side, my insides shrank a little.
The inside became smaller.
When it shrinks, I feel anxious.
My breath becomes thin again.
Anxiety makes my body small.
The space to move decreases.
I hate becoming small.
So I slightly extended my foot over the line.
My toes touching the snow brushed against the boundary.
I shouldn’t go outside the line, but I deliberately went out just a little.
I didn’t cross completely.
Just a tiny bit.
When I go out slightly, the rules waver.
The boundary doesn’t stay fixed.
When the rules waver, I can move in that gap.
I was watching that gap.
Theodor looked at my foot and said in a small voice.
“Fun, isn’t it?”
“Heh.”
I pressed down the corners of my mouth but eventually a little laughter leaked out.
My lips pushed up from the inside.
Cold air entered my mouth and went out.
“Amazing!”
“Amazing!”
While we were facing each other and giggling, Iden raised his hand.
His hand went up into the air and stopped.
When the hand goes up, it’s the start.
The time that had stopped begins to move again.
I took a breath.
Cold air brushed the inside of my nose.
My chest swelled up big once and came down.
Theodor threw first.
His arm moved greatly.
The snowball flew toward Lermiel.
A white trajectory continued as it cut through the air.
Lermiel twisted his body slightly.
His feet made almost no sound on the snow.
The snowball grazed his shoulder and hit the wall.
When it hits the wall, it bursts.
When it touches something hard, the form immediately collapses.
The burst snow stuck to the wall and became a white dot for a moment.
The dot remained thinly on the wall.
It sparkled very briefly in the sunlight.
That dot was interesting.
It seemed like it would remain and then disappear.
Lermiel slowly threw a snowball.
His arm didn’t swing greatly.
Even though he threw slowly, the snowball flew accurately.
It came straight, without wavering.
When it’s accurate, it’s dangerous.
The room to dodge decreases.
I rolled my body to the side.
My body slid on the snow.
When I roll, snow gets inside my clothes.
Cold particles seeped into the inside of my neck and waist area.
It’s cold.
The cold sensation brushed my skin.
Even though it was cold, laughter came out.
My body reacted first.
I scrunched my nose trying to hold back the laughter.
My nose tip went up and came back down.
Theodor looked at me and said.
He was in a slightly breathless state.
“It’s okay.”
The words saying it’s okay made me solid.
The inside was fixed once.
What had been shaking stopped.
When I become solid, I get up again.
I brushed off the snow and sprang up.
My body quickly bounced upward.
Springing up is a four-year-old’s specialty.
My body moves before I think.
I brought out my specialty again.
My body felt light.
I made a snowball.
I gathered snow with my hands and rolled it quickly.
This time I made it small.
It was just the right size to fit in my hand.
When it’s small, I can throw it fast.
I don’t need to put in much strength.
When thrown fast, it’s hard to dodge.
I looked straight at Lermiel.
His eyes were still quiet.
His movements weren’t big.
When it’s quiet, there seems to be an opening.
It’s a gap that doesn’t show clearly.
I swished my hand toward that opening.
My wrist moved shortly.
The snowball flew away.
It flew fast and low.
And it burst on Lermiel’s chest.
The moment the snow touched, the shape collapsed.
White pieces scattered in all directions.
When the snow burst, Lermiel’s shoulders moved just a tiny bit.
The movement was small.
I don’t know if he’s smiling or not.
I couldn’t see his mouth.
But his eyes became very briefly warm.
The light changed a little.
It felt like a color that wasn’t cold.
When it became warm, my heart tickled without me knowing.
The inside was lightly brushed.
Tickling is dangerous, but right now it was play.
It was time that wasn’t dangerous.
I left the tickling as it was.
I didn’t erase it.
Lermiel brushed off the snow on his chest with his hand.
He lightly swept it away with his palm.
The snow fell and scattered to the floor.
After brushing off the snow, he packed a new snowball.
He slowly rolled it in his hands.
This time he made something smaller and harder.
The surface was pressed smooth.
Hard things hurt.
The force is transmitted directly the moment it touches.
I instinctively covered my face with my arms.
My arms went up first.
If you cover, you get hit less.
Even if it can’t completely block, it reduces a little.
The snowball hit my arm and broke apart.
It touched with a thud and immediately spread.
Cold pieces spread over my arm.
I could feel the coldness even through the gloves.
I lifted my arm and looked at the snow.
The snow remaining on my arm melted quickly.
Small water droplets formed and disappeared.
When it melts, it disappears.
When the form is gone, nothing remains.
When it disappears, there are no traces.
When there are no traces, it’s safe.
When nothing remains, you can start again.
I suddenly liked that fact.
Iden lowered his hand.
The hand that was in the air fell down.
It was a signal that it was over.
The things that were moving stopped.
Theodor was panting.
His breathing went up and down quickly.
If you’re panting, you worked hard.
It’s a trace of using your body a lot.
Lermiel wasn’t breathing heavily.
His chest wasn’t moving much.
He was still quiet.
The quiet state was maintained.
Even though he was quiet, his eyes were a little red.
It was a place where cold air had continuously touched.
It seemed to be because of the cold.
I looked back and forth between the two people.
My gaze moved from one side to the other.
And I gathered the snow remaining in my palm and packed it small.
A very small snowball.
I rolled that small thing in my palm.
The snow gathered in my hand and then loosened again.
It was so small that the form couldn’t be completely set.
I carefully held out that small thing to Lermiel.
I made the speed of extending my hand forward very slow.
Holding it out means giving.
Giving means being close.
I don’t know that meaning exactly, but doing this seemed right.
The right method remains if you repeat it.
Lermiel received the small snowball.
His hand moved carefully so as not to touch my hand.
He looked at it for a long time.
He wasn’t turning the snowball to look at it, just looking at it as it was.
And he took one step toward me.
There was almost no sound left on the snow.
Sometimes when getting close, breathing gets blocked, but not this time.
Even when close, the air wasn’t blocked.
Lermiel placed one of his snowballs on my hand.
The moment it was placed on my hand, I felt the weight.
That snowball was a little bigger.
The round shape was clearer.
Big things are heavy.
My palm went down a little.
When it’s heavy, it feels like responsibility.
It feels like something you shouldn’t drop.
I disliked that responsibility, but strangely didn’t want to let it go.
If you don’t let go, it remains.
Theodor muttered next to me.
It was a voice mixed with a little breath.
“What are you two doing.”
Those words seemed exactly like ‘jealousy’.
The end of the words
Humans who are jealous are strange. To my eyes, they were very fascinating beings.
Strange, but it was hard to look away.
And in addition, Theodor seemed a bit more, pretty.
His eyes sparkled.
His cheeks were a little red.
‘Is he pretty or what’
The thought passed briefly.
Ah no
He seems cute
I stared intently at Theodor.
My gaze didn’t move.
And I split the big snowball in my hand in half.
I pressed with force between my fingers.
The snow split into two pieces.
I split it in half and held one piece out to Theodor.
I pushed my hand forward briefly.
When you share, fighting decreases.
When it decreases, the noise gets quieter.
When fighting decreases, the mind becomes comfortable.
I knew that comfortable state.
Theodor took the snowball and stood there dazed for a moment.
His eyes widened then stopped.
His mouth opened slightly then closed.
When you get dazed, it’s over.
The next action gets delayed.
I nodded my head slightly inside.
‘I learned one more way to survive.’
Not just hiding, but sharing too.
When you have things together, they attack less.
That seemed to be Winter Castle’s way.
* * *
In the morning, the snow had stopped.
When the sky is clear, the snowy field becomes brighter.
Light came down directly.
When it’s bright, everything gets revealed.
Places to hide decrease.
I dislike being exposed, but today I looked out the window for a long time.
I stood close to the glass and looked outside.
Winter Castle’s windows are thick, and the glass is a bit uneven.
The surface wasn’t smooth.
