in the north (3)
Aeolin, who was away in the middle of the night, did not return until dawn.
The summons, including Medusha, thought she woke up a little early and didn’t respond much, but… I started to get a little worried.
It’s not like I went out for a walk in this cold weather. where did you go
As I was thinking about this and that, I shook my head a little and sat down in front of the breakfast served by the attendants.
Even though Eolin is a small cat, her name is a professor at our academy.
Actually, I’m a little cocky about what I’m worried about.
After getting rid of the slightly confusing diet that is unique to the North, whether it is neat or lacking, wash your body and escape the room.
After a while, Elena and the others appeared as they walked to the place where the other students were gathered.
“Oh, Louise. Did you sleep well last night?”
“Yes. The room was also warm… The futon was fine.”
“Where’s Professor Eolin?”
“Now, let’s move to the field practice site.”
Sylvia’s question, who felt uncomfortable just like me, was overshadowed by the cry of the White House vassal.
As Seongju told us yesterday, we were guided to a facility called Summoned Summoning Orphanage.
Most of the students headed out of the castle, but we rather moved deeper.
Eventually they arrived at the heart of the castle.
Since it is the middle layer of the Yeongjuseong Fortress, the cold air from the ground cannot reach it, and the cold wind is blocked properly.
Although all sides are closed, it is a space where you can feel cozy rather than stuffy.
“Well, it’s a surprisingly good place to work.”
“What is a summoner’s house?”
The party expresses unfamiliarity because it is a word that is not used in other regions.
Perhaps it is a culture unique to the North.
The moment we were about to rush our steps to solve our questions.
Summoners and summoners belonging to the Ice Citadel appeared from the hallway on the other side.
As if he was just about to go to work, there was a small child next to the armed summoned beast.
Needless to say, he appears to be the child of the summoned beast.
“Then Dad will go. Should I listen carefully to the teachers?”
“yes!”
A child waving to his parents while holding the hand of a vassal dressed in a maid’s uniform.
Only then did we get a glimpse of the identity of this facility.
“Is this a place where you can leave your children while you are away from work? There are all kinds of stellar facilities.”
“Well. The ice fortress is quite narrow, so it looks like they live together.”
“Still, to leave the child to even knight-level pets…”
“Because the North has a very high percentage of Jinshin summons. Of course, there must be a lot of people who get married and have children.”
As I relaxed a little and passed through the wide Jangjimun, I saw countless young summoned beasts.
A winter fox much smaller than Persia, and without exaggeration, tangerine rice cakes the size of a finger. Baby penguins and puppy pets.
In addition, there were a lot of young appearances of the northern summoned beasts.
No matter what kind of summoned you are, the younger you are, the cuter you are.
Not only Elena and Elfriede, but also Sylvia raised their eyebrows wide.
The same goes for the other students who have been placed here with us.
Then the Summoner’s House staff who found us… ie, the Summoner’s nanny, briefly greeted us and introduced us to the facility.
Usage not very different from what we guessed.
Because various summons are gathered in one place, various precautions are listed.
“We will take care of the children ourselves.”
“Ah, we keep the Summoner’s Book. Children often try to get in.”
“Artifacts that could be dangerous…”
Again, we were simply auxiliary roles.
Of course, no complaints.
A wide variety of pets… It’s not easy to take care of weak and sensitive children.
If you become a nanny for a great family, you are an expert who is treated in its own way.
We were able to enter the children’s area only after we dismounted the artifacts according to their instructions.
Various toys and teaching materials were prepared in the interior decorated in warm colors.
It looks like it not only feeds and puts them to sleep, but also provides basic education.
I wondered if there was anything we could do here… but the nanny ate us as soon as the thought was over.
“First, clean up that place. Picture books are all on the shelf…”
“Would you two go to the kitchen?”
“Oh, the window is open again.”
“Something must have been downstairs. Bring it.”
It was a brief moment to watch the children and laugh while being busy with everyone.
Suddenly, one guy burst into tears for no reason.
“Ahhh…”
The nanny ran quickly to comfort him, but it was already too late.
The children, stimulated by the outrageous cry, burst into tears one after another, both you and me.
“Puee!”
“Beep!”
“ooh!”
“Refeen!”
A noise that resonates in an instant and doubles.
I’ve heard that laughter is contagious, but so is crying.
As the nanny took care of each other and worked hard to comfort them, Medusha, who was watching the scene, went out on her own accord.
I quickly tried to stop her… but I stopped when I saw the god-facing snake summons stop crying like ghosts.
“Oh, even if it rots, it’s a snake god.”
“What are you doing blankly!”
“Why don’t spirits give birth to babies? They just occur naturally in the spirit world.”
“Ah, my lord! The kids are cutting my hair again…”
Thanks to the work and sacrifices of my pets, I was quickly promoted to the role of caring for children.
Until a little while ago, I was smiling happily looking at these guys.
When I started working in earnest, there were no other demons.
These guys wept and rolled and fought as if they were determined to dry us up.
Besides, I’m a new face, so even if I stand still, the children will come to me.
Tiny hands, tongues, and soles of the feet constantly scan her body, but she couldn’t resist for fear of getting hurt.
As I was feeling the Persian feeling again, some of the other students had just been promoted.
But the other side was clearly less densely populated than mine.
They quietly wiped their chests, but on the other hand, they murmured as if their stomachs were hurting.
“Even here, I’m going to be pushed back by El Cloud.”
“Of course. The younger you are, the more likely you are to cover your face and magical powers. It’s not yet socialized, so that’s all you can see.”
“…”
Medusha’s explanation flowed through the back of his ear and he spent the morning, and the meal time of hell came.
It’s a diet made up of easy-to-eat food for children, but they spill even that and spit it out.
When the sound of crying was added as if it was natural, I remembered the words I heard from Seongju yesterday.
“It would be more convenient to go out on patrol to a real ice and snow hell…”
“It’s nap time soon, so be patient.”
“Are you even taking a nap? They really take good care of you. The White family didn’t seem friendly with this kind of welfare.”
Medusha truly admires the snake summoned creatures, comforting them and admiring them.
I was worried that it would be sloppy in many ways because it was a group job, but this is really good.
Eventually, the hungry children began to fall asleep one by one on the futon.
He really looks like an angel because he had a hard time in the morning.
After the hard work of the first day, he returned to his room.
After washing away his tired and sweaty body, Eolin finally appeared again.
The professor who went out yesterday morning tumbled in with a very exhausted look, and collapsed sideways as if someone had pushed him.
“Oh, I’m really going to die.”
“Have you not been here before?”
“What is a guy named Insol professor doing around here?”
When Medusha scolded him for being absurd, Eolin responded with annoyance.
“Ice and Snow Hell patrol and seal maintenance.”
“yes?”
“You said the northerners did it on their own, right?”
When I asked a question while remembering Seongju’s words, Eolin smiled mischievously.
“Your students are a little pampered, but professors aren’t. I was originally sent for application purposes.”
“Aha…”
“So, how about the seal of the Ice and Snow Hell?”
When Persia asked worriedly, Eolin raised her right front leg and waved her hand.
“It’s a mess. It’s been out of maintenance for a long time, so most of it needs repairs. In this town, there’s a sealed monster sleeping on each mountain.”
“It’s also a magician.”
“But I’m glad that the professor got his hands on it so quickly.”
As I said to appease Eolin, she sighed.
“I really hate this place. Binggye spells are my specialty, but cold should be appropriate. My pets don’t work properly.”
“Professor Eolin’s summons?”
Elfriede, holding a baby griffon, asked with curiosity.
Griffon is quite excited because he met children his age at the summons’ house.
Eolin simply wags her tail to perform a high-speed summon.
“Come out.”
“Weigh…”
Eventually, what appeared was a fly larger than a human head.
Although it doesn’t have much fighting power on its own, it’s the kind that can summon subordinates like Medusha.
In fact, Medusha was terrified at the disgusting appearance.
“What, what is this!”
“My pet, the Buglord. One person… No, one fox deals with cannibals that can be dismantled in an instant.”
“Hey profit!”
Persia, frightened by Eolin’s grudge, quickly hid behind me.
Eolin, satisfied with his reaction, quickly canceled the summons.
A bizarre summoned beast is written on a cute-looking theme.
I took her droopy to the bathroom and washed it off.
“No… I hate baths…”
“What are you doing with all the dirt and dust? Stay still.”
I was very tired from the day’s work, but now it seems like I’m out for field training.
Eolin, who honestly accepted my hand even though she didn’t like it, muttered a little as if she was sorry.
“El Cloud. The Ice Castle said it was okay, but I may have to borrow your power later.
“Call me anytime.”
“Okay. As you may already know, I don’t do things like specs, do I?”
It really doesn’t matter if you call me.
The home of the pets we work in is a true hell.
Fortunately, the children are cute, so they are holding on without running away.
After hearing my explanation, Eolin laughed out loud as if she was in good shape and fell asleep quickly.
Looks like the job was really hard.
After wiping her after taking a bath, Laurie was kicking Elena and the others out of the bathroom.
And it turned out that they were sharing a different room, and they came in quite naturally.
I, who had suffered from tiringness, soon slept as if dead.
It was a very refreshing sleep because my body was tired.
However, when it comes time to go to the summons’ house, I can’t shake the desire to sleep a little more.
Originally, I wondered if field training would be this hard, but the other students also seemed very tired.
From what I can see, it looks like the other places are ok.
Complaints that Beltern and Collingwood were not like this are leaking from all over the place.
Medusha, who was dissatisfied with the breakfast diet, also joined them.
“Ice Castle Lord is also very strange. Do you think you have to pamper students like this before you graduate and get a job?”
“I’m not coming anyway, so maybe I’m just messing around with it?”
As always, Persia’s impression of being overly honest.
I smiled bitterly and stroked him.
Still, it’s not as hard as it was yesterday because I’ve gotten used to it a little bit.
I don’t know if it’s my mistake, but I feel like I’ve become a little closer with the children.
“How many days are left?”
“About 10 days?”
“Before that, I will fall.”
Medusha was already trembling, but…
I was worried about Eolin.
Will it be possible to tour the entire ice and snow hell in 10 days?
The seals of this land were completed by the ancestors of the White family at great sacrifices.
unhappy or fortunate
Eolin’s call came sooner than expected.
Although I never exchanged a communication card, she sent me a voice like a professor.
“El Cloud! It’s a big deal. Go to Seongju right now.”
“professor?”
Communication cuts off after just saying what I want to say, as if it was quite urgent.
I quickly escaped from the summoner’s house and walked to the top floor where the lord was staying.
