A snow field appeared in a corner of the paradise, and he taught his students how to play in the snow, raising his stock as a master. Well, my stock dropped a little when Gina saw the snow dolls I had made as a prank and decorated with national treasures, but I would like to recover it from now on.

"Okay, next time we'll all gather snow in one place!"

The snowball making is over and the break is over, so we start playing in the snow again. Next is the kamakura.

By the way, the snowballs that Belle and her friends made ...... were not so big with their bare strength, and they ended up with many cute snowballs.

They are still children of the lower class spirits, and that's the way it would be if they didn't use magic.

On my command, the apprentices and the spirits begin to gather snowballs in their designated areas.

Well, it's been a while since we've used our pioneering tools.

I take out the magic shovel and resize it to its maximum size.

Yeah, it's been a while since I've used it, but it's a great size. And the fact that it doesn't feel heavy is also wonderful. What's the logic behind this?

Putting the hard stuff behind us, we insert the magic shovel into the snow on the ground and lift it up with a zing.

"Here we go. Come on!"

After loudly attracting their attention and making sure their eyes are on us, we throw the snow from the shovel into the snowbank in a heap.

"Yikes!" "Cue!" "Should I swerve?" Coo!"" It's a kyattei, man!"""" ......""Aww!""

oh my gosh, kya, ubba, onii-chan!

Everyone reacts to the large amount of snow that comes flying at them. Everyone seems to be amused by the sudden snow attack, but Flare has burned the snow.

Great reflexes, but let's just say no flames because we don't want the snow to melt.

**

"Big!" "Cue!"

Belle and Rain are happily flying around a snow mountain made by collecting a large amount of snow.

It sure is big.

The magic shovel was so powerful that they might have gotten a little carried away with the fun. It's as big as a small house, if you're lucky.

...... Well, it should be big enough for me, Belle, Sakura, Gina, Fuchu and the others, and maybe Sylphy, Mel, Meral, Merrill, and Serio.

We don't need much height, so let's make a big kamakura by stepping on it to spread it out horizontally.

In the meantime, it would be better to make some pillars for reinforcement.

"Master, what are we going to do with all this snow?

Gina's question is well taken.

"We're going to make a kamakura."

"Kamakura?"

I can't get the word "kamakura" out. It seems to be a common usage in that snow spirit's hometown, but maybe there is no name for a house made of snow in the world yet.

"Simply put, a house made of snow?"

I'm not sure if I can call a kamakura a house, but I don't know what else to call it, so I can't help it.

"The snow house...... master seems to know a lot about snow, so I guess it's not a problem, but...... isn't it cold? The snow was pretty cold."

"It's not necessarily cold, but it's a lot better than outside, and we have a fire going inside, so it's relatively warm."

Well, it doesn't make much sense to make kamakura since the house is right there, but there's plenty of snow, so we'd better enjoy it.

"Hmmm, I can't imagine what it's like."

I guess that's understandable, since I saw snow for the first time today.

"Well, you'll understand when you experience it."

"Yeah, okay, let's do it! What do we do at ......?"

"First, let's make a shape by stepping on the snow together."

Actually, it would be better to let the snow lie after it has been shaped to some extent, but if we step on it a little harder, we should be able to manage.

"Okay. "Okay, everyone, let's make the snow hard!

Gina took the order. Gina is very aggressive today.

**

"Fujin!"

Bell cutting through the hardened snow with a blade of wind.

"Cue!"

Rain cutting through the hardened snow with a water blade.

"Coo!"

Tamamo cutting out the hardened snow with the cherry petals of the spirit tree.

The disciples and contracted spirits happily carry the snow, which could be mistaken for blocks of ice, outside.

This is not what I had in mind when I was making kamakura.

Well, it's all my fault.

The snow pile that everyone had stepped on was shaped by hitting it with a large magic shovel.

I thought I was hitting it lightly considering the weight of the shovel, but it was still too strong, and the snow was frozen solid like ice.

I thought about using a magic survival knife to cut out the snow, but that seemed a bit tasteless, so I asked the spirits to cut out the ice for me.

The result is a magical dance before our eyes, but it seems that the magic of Belle and the others has been helpful to Gina and Fuchu, so I guess it's a good thing that I'm injured.

By the way, Flare suddenly said to the snowy mountain, "I'm going to smash you! >>I was left to snowmobiling because I started to say "I'm not a snowmobiler".

At this rate, Gina can supervise and I can start working on something else.

I'm going to go back to work on something else.

"Now the Kamakura is complete!"

The last of the snow is taken out and the kamakura is declared complete.

I don't know if I can call it a kamakura since it is a space of about 10 tatami mats and has four pillars, but since it is a building made of snow, I guess I can forcefully say that it is a kamakura.

It was just before the sunset, but I am glad that it was completed in time.

"Kamakura-" "Cue-" "No?" Cu""It's gonna be cold.""......""

"So this is Kamakura. Master said it would be rather warm, but it's not that warm, is it?"

"Maybe it's warmer because the wind is blocked."

"Kamakura, wow! Master, snow is interesting!"

"A cold house?"

The reactions of the belles and the apprentices were split. Some are genuinely interested in the kamakura, while others question whether it can really be used as a dwelling, or even a resting place.

Well, Sara is right in one respect that the wind is blocked to keep them warm, but this is where the real fun of the kamakura begins.

Now is the time for the preparations that have been temporarily absent, leaving Gina in charge, to come into play.

First, out of the magic bag come the four shichirin, or seven-ring rings. The coals are already burning red inside.

These rings were made by Nomos, who was in class at the workshop that had already been completed, with advice from Mel, and they were made quite large to accommodate a large number of people.

Seeing the warm glow of the charcoal created in the kamakura, Belle and her students shout with joy.

It's just a simple piece of charcoal, but in a situation like this, it's very exciting, isn't it?

Next, four earthenware pots are taken out. These are also the large ones that Nomos made for us earlier, and can accommodate a large number of people.

I took them to Ruby and asked her to fill them with soup for the pot and prepare the ingredients.

Yes, tonight's meal is the most delicious hot pot in the cold season.

Rough bird nabe in kombu broth.

Miso flavored Yose-nabe with fresh fish from the surrounding seas.

Soy sauce nabe with a lot of oak meat.

Sukiyaki with assault dragon.

I would have liked to have used kimchi for the orc meat and tofu in the nabe. But alas, there is no kimchi and I have not made tofu yet, so I have to give up.

It was a waste of time because I could have made the tofu myself, not to mention the kimchi.

Well, it was unexpected that it snowed in paradise and we had to hold a one-pot party in a hurry, but there are many other ways to use tofu, so I will make it soon.

The hot pot on the shichirin (earthenware charcoal stove) looks so delicious that it erases my dissatisfaction, even if it is a little insufficient.

Planks and logs are placed around the four rings to serve as simple chairs and tables. The tableware is ready to be used.

Oops, before we eat, we have to invite the members who are not here.

Let's have Bell and the others go out to get some food. I'm a little sorry for the fact that they're glued to the pot and drooling, but it's the fastest way to get the food except by my summoning them.

"Everyone, tell Sylphy, Mel, and the others that it's dinner, and if you're going to eat with them, please show them the way here."

Yes?"""Yes?"""

After Belle and the others replied, they flew away at a very high speed. They must have been in a hurry because they wanted to eat as soon as possible.

"Master, it's getting really warm in the kamakura. But why isn't it melting when it's getting warm inside?

Gina seemed to have realized the power of the kamakura when the shichirin was turned on. But she asked me a difficult question. I don't know much about it either.

"Well, I think the surface is melting a little, isn't it? But I think the melted snow cools quickly, so it doesn't look like it's melting."

Maybe. .......

"Oh, I see. Oh, yeah, it's a little watery."

I was worried because of my hazy knowledge, but it seems I was right.

"Well, you've built something interesting."

"Mmm-hmm. It's so nice!"

"It's an interesting experiment. Plants that only grow in cold places might be able to grow here.

"You are indeed a master."

While I was talking with Gina and the others about Kamakura, Sylphy, Dine, Dolly, Mel and the others arrived.

"Welcome. Where are Nomos, If, and Vita?

"Nomos said not to go to the brewery and If said not to go because the snow makes him want to melt it. Vita says she won't be coming tonight either.

"Oh, yes, I see."

I see, I gave Nomos a bottle of alcohol, so of course that's what I gave him. Ifs a ...... joke ......, right? I think Vita was a little reserved because this place isn't that big.

Aside from Nomos, who is very loyal to his desires, I'll offer If and Vita some pots and pans later.

"Yuta. Dinner!"

Oops, looks like Belle can't wait. Let's eat soon.

"Everyone, there are four kinds of hot pots today, so go to the one you want and eat it as you like. Let's eat! 

Thank you."""Bon appétit."""

Well, which pot shall I start with?

I'll start with the rough bird casserole.

Nabe in Kamakura. ...... It's a fantasy world with spirits and magic, but I feel like I'm in the snow country of Japan.
