That said, however, I stored the large luggage they were carrying in the storage space of the carriage . After all, I wasn’t that cruel .
There were three seats inside the carriage and two coachman seats since I didn’t use golems as the charioteer . Bell laid curled up in the rear space of the coachman’s seat, and Norn reserved her seat on the roof .
I didn’t have to worry about the seating . I, the owner, would always sit inside . The remaining four places were taken over by the girls .
In addition, I slightly increased the size of the carriage and comfort during the improvement, so we didn’t have to be cramped inside .
Now that the boys didn’t have to carry the luggage, they wore two layers of blankets and fur cloaks to protect them from the cold . It would be nice if I had enough carriage… but I didn’t have it, so it couldn’t be helped .
By the way, the boys didn’t complain at all since they knew I was indulgent with the girls . They had grown up, huh! But since they couldn’t ride the carriage, I would serve hot drinks during breaks . Do your best!
Marching in the snow was very exhausting, so we frequently took breaks . The speed of the carriage matched the walking boys, so not that fast . I’m not that much of a demon to make them run in the snow, okay .
The horse carriage moved to the side of the highway and stopped . We set up a simple awning tent beside the carriage to avoid the snow and took a break . I also took out folding tables and chairs and served tea and snacks to the boys .
“Wah! It’s warm~”
“It’s too cold… My hands and feet hurt…”
Even if they wore boots and thick gloves to protect themselves from the cold, it was still hard . They could only tolerate moving in this snowfall since there’s no helping it . Maricle and Cain sipped the cup of tea in silence . Ryuu and Boman, who could still complain, looked like they were still energetic? But they should not waste their physical energy uselessly . For real .
Still, I could comfortably sit inside the carriage thanks to the small heating magic tool I made on my own . The back of the occupant’s seat was exposed to the warm air, so it’s not that unbearable .
“Hmm, how about letting the boys sit in the coachman’s seat by rotation? Ren won’t like it if they sit inside, so I’ll give up on that . ”
“Triela and the girls will be the one who suffer from the cold, so if you don’t mind, I’m fine with that . ”

“Huh? I thought you would oppose it . You’re fine with this?”
“This cold weather isn’t a joke anymore… I don’t want anyone to die in front of me . ”
“That’s also true . But then, Ren is more refreshed after scolding them before, so you stop being harsh on them now, right?”
“… Haa . I can never win against Triela . Well, you’re right . Let’s take care of them a little more . Ryuu is also growing up . ”
I felt like I was a bit too indulgent, but I was tired from caring too much . I decided to just relax myself . However, with my personality, now I also frequently speak harsher to them .
I mean, I felt that I didn’t care about those two people anymore . Do whatever you want, I don’t care .
After the quick break, Ryuu was delighted to hear that I accepted Triela’s suggestion . I guess it’s hard for them too .
Now that the walking group was swapped from time to time, our movement speed increased . We got more distance than I expected . That being said, it would take us a week to reach O’Neill . Hm… But I had no map, so I didn’t really know…
The sun began to set as we moved with a few breaks . We arrived at the campsite at the perfect timing, so we took a rest here today . They were surprised when I told them they could sleep in the carriage .
By the way, Triela and the others didn’t have a decent tent, so they planned to sleep around a bonfire . Hey, they’ll die, though!?

Five people could sleep in the carriage, but the remaining four people had to sleep outside . I didn’t expect them not to have a decent tent… They showed me the ‘tent’ they brought just in case, but I didn’t think they should call this a tent…
I wouldn’t be able to get a restful sleep knowing that they might freeze to death in the morning, so I improvised the two folding tents and let the boys use them .
The size of one tent was big enough to let two people lie down . This should be enough for the four boys . They thanked me so much and told me they would buy the tents from me later, so I transferred the ownership to them .
Triela and the girls told me they would prepare the food in turns, but I didn’t yield . I felt guilty if I was lying snug and warm in the carriage alone… Then the girls asked for my help, so I accepted it .
The boys told us they would also help, but having too many people would only hinder the work . In the end, we divided the role by sending them to pick up the firewood . To be honest, I only need a girl to help me, so I arrange the free members appropriately . But then, I only had to use earth magic to make a stove…
It’s simple to set up the preparations .
We made a barrier in the open front part of the coachman’s seat with a tanned leather sheet . Just like during the quick break, we set up the awning tent on the left side of the carriage to protect us from the snow . We also made the stone structure for a bonfire in front of it, and the other tent beyond it .
The cooking stove was set up to the bonfire . The horses were golems, so there’s no need to take care of them from the snow . Other carriages sure had it though…

We prepared the meals swiftly and finished it quickly . I wanted to take a bath, but it would be impossible to do that here . I gave up and used [Cleaning] just as when I traveled with Lily . It would be bad if they had a cold, and I didn’t want anyone to smell, so I cleansed the boys as well . They should thank me for my mercy!
“…[Cleaning] isn’t just a manipulation skill? It’s a bit too effective that I find it super weird…”
Ah, I also wondered about that . But it was probably because my magic power was high and I had prior knowledge of hygiene . Magic mostly relied on the imaginary skill of the user, so a modern Japanese man like me who was knowledgeable and had a lot of imaginations could expect a considerably high effect . This is the magic power of a heavenly being! You could think of it like that!
But, I wanted to wipe my body with hot water . That’s probably because I was Japanese, right?
Norn and Bell would guard us at night, so I went to bed early without having to be on guard . We could start moving faster if we woke up early, so everyone also slept with no objection .
I improvised by making a hot water bottle and having the boys in the tent hold it . At first, I was planning to heat stones with the bonfire and wrap it in a cloth so they could hold it, but I changed it to a hot water bottle since something that could stay warm for a long time would be better
They didn’t go as far as telling me they wanted this . Ah, yes, yes . I’ll sell it later, so calm down!
There were more than a dozen other carriages in the campsite, but if there was a suspicious person, Norn would bite them . Knowing that, I could sleep well .
Anyway, good night… Zzz .
