Being Strong On Your Own

Chapter 52: Adventures In Winter

They spent quite a long time sculpting the ice and making snow, when everyone tried to judge it, Arina was clearly the winner how she made it so detailed was the best thing of her.

Somehow he was really happy with something like that, which he was obviously very childish.

A few days later Grey and Sartina, aided by a female knight, had gone into the forest, the air was getting colder and so they moved with clothes so thick they were normal.

Each of their hands carried not a sword but an axe to cut down wood.

Usually this is a man's job but these women are clearly no less formidable to them. To warm themselves all need burning wood in their homes and the knights who do the job.

Busy with the construction of the two new cities they were a little late supplying firewood but it was not something that was difficult to overcome, with a little hard work everything could be done.

Grey picked up a fairly large tree and with a single slash he cut it down without any distress.

"You did it fast, I don't want to lose either."

"You don't have to do like me, let's work without forcing yourself."

"We understand."

Grey thought it would hold back a little in his work, it would be troublesome if they suddenly wanted to balance work time with him.

After cutting down the Grey tree must also start chopping up the tree with the right size, separating the unnecessary parts he began to compose everything then cut down the other tree.

It was done repeatedly, until in the afternoon they had obtained an amazing amount of wood, because only Grey who had a storage ring was the one who kept it all and took it out in the city square.

There will be other knights in charge of distributing it to the residents who have been waiting in line, meanwhile for those who have cut down they can rest all day.

As Grey arrives at the palace Arina appears with a panicked face.

"Grey?"

"Is something going on?" tanyakanya.

he turned his gaze to his two wives who were in the room as well, but Arina cut him off with a brief explanation.

Hometown? He remembered that Arina had said her residence in other words the place must be in the middle of the sea.

Arina continued.

"In this cold air the mermaids should go to a warmer island that does not snow but because of the appearance of monsters they are trapped and cold there... it's really bad."

"You don't think you're in touch with outsiders?"

"When I was a loner I kept in touch with my family, we sometimes exchanged letters."

He makes the loner sound strange, but Grey doesn't mind him, all he can do is solve the problem.

"Then let's go out there and save them."

"You're a good Grey."

"Our husband will definitely do that."

"Truely, instead of sending someone he would jump right in by himself."

Grey thinks his two wives are very familiar.

Carrying a lot of people would be dangerous so Grey just went with his usual group, consisting of Arina, Via and also a robot named Eir.

"Are you okay with walking in the winter?" ask Grey to Eir.

"Don't worry that my body has a heater, it won't cause my system any problems."

"We can use Eir as a room warmer as well, he's very practical."

Grey doesn't know how he does it but obviously if the cold doesn't affect him that's enough. For Via he just hid in Grey's pocket trying not to come out one bit.

Rest for a while, their journey has restarted.
