Trump Card
「Well then, let’s have Nicole try it too!」
「Yes!」
I also made a sled for Nicole and then he fastened the two new dogs he brought and then the preparation was complete. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Yosh, run!」
Receiving Nicole's - who is sitting on the sled - order, the two dogs start running as the sled also moves forward.
「O, oohhh! Fast! It’s fast!」
Experiencing riding on the sled for the first time, Nicole raises his voice in excitement.
Looks like he’s having fun.
Probably it’s because the dogs have naturally good physiques and in addition to being a hunting dog, they are unfazed even when an adult male like Nicole tries to ride on the sled.
Even looking from the distance, they’re quite fast.
「Hmm, it can go that fast even with an adult riding it?」
「It is going to be hard to carry simple luggage if you add more dogs and make the sled bigger」
Nord-tousan and Elna-kaasan were expressing their impressions after seeing the dog sled.
They may be seriously considering dog sleds as a means of transportation during winter.
「In that case then I think this kind of dog sled will be fine」
Hearing their mutterings, I create a basket-type sled with earth magic. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
When you hear the term ‘dog sled’ what comes to mind is a person standing behind and giving instructions to the dogs……I wonder how many people will think of a sled with this shape.
「But, there will not be many spaces for the luggage if people are sitting there?」
「They can stand on the extended sled bottom at the back 」
「I see」
He has skied once before so it seems like he doesn’t feel strange to stand over there.
「Later when the dog’s number increases, it will be difficult to instruct them so I think you have to choose the dog breed according to the distance you want to travel with the dog sled」
「I see. There are dogs that are fast for short distances but not for long distances」
「……it may be difficult to introduce it immediately, but it might be a good idea to try it next year」
Ooh, Nord-tousan is considering introducing it quite seriously.
It will also be good for the villagers to have a convenient means of transportation during winter. I have teleport so it’s not that I need them, but I will be happy if the environment where I can casually use a dog sled could be created.
「Wan wan!」
While we were talking about it like that, Nicole returned with the sled. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
The dogs are running at a great speed, but they slowly stop at Nicole’s signal.
「How was it?」
「It was fast, to say the least!」
The look on Nicole’s face as he got down from the sled seemed to show that he was having fun.
The two dogs who are standing by after running at full speed are breathing heavily 「hah hah hah」, but for some reason, I feel like they are filled with a sense of achievement.
「Say, can we also ride it too?」
「Ah, yes! Please!」
There’s no way Nicole would refuse then the lord’s wife - Elna-kaasan - ask him that.
Not to mention that Elna-kaasan is a beauty. The innocent young man - Nicole - obediently gave up his seat on the sled.
「The sled that Al made can be ridden by two people, right?」
「Un, that’s right」
This married couple is so lovey-dovey as always. I feel like the level of their lovey-dovey-ness has increased even more after flirting while skiing yesterday.
「I will stand behind you」
「Then, I will――」
Nord-tousan stands on the runner and Elna-kaasan also moves to stand, but then she suddenly stops.
「……say, Al. Where should I ride?」
「Eeh? Isn’t it fine to sit on the luggage carrier side?」
I wonder why is she stating the obvious.
「No. To be treated like a baggage. It’s not pretty」
I tried imagining Elna-kaasan sitting on the luggage side grasping her knees looking small and quiet.
That’s certainly not a pretty sight. It’s like a kid playing on a trolley.
It would be a pleasant sight if it were children like me, but it will be embarrassing for a lady like Elna-kaasan. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Then, you can ride separately――」
「Can you do something about it?」
「…………」
Despite suggesting the quickest solution, Elna-kaasan rejects it.
There are two sleds for a single person to use each person should ride one, right?
So I thought, but I guess they both want to have fun and ride it together.
To meet Elna-kaasan’s unreasonable demand, I make the runner side of the sled thicker and longer.
Then, I also connected the waiting Lag to the two-person sled.
「Now you can both stand there, right? It will be quite close to each other but it will be like when you’re riding a horse together, you can put your arm around the person in front of you」
「Al, you’re a genius」
Maybe she prefers a sled with this kind of structure since Elna-kaasan pats me on my head while smiling brightly.
I feel like this is the first time I’ve been praised the most since I was born in this world. While answering the request for them to ride together, I also fulfilled the part where the two of them could enjoy their romantic interactions.
Honestly, I also think that I’m a genius to be able to come up with something like that.
「Okay then, I will ride in front」
「I will be behind you」
Nord-tousan stood in front while Elna-kaasan hugged him from behind.
I was able to fulfill Elna-kaasan’s request, but it looks quite silly when looking at it from a third-person perspective.
Oh well, the people themselves seem like they’re satisfied with it and they won’t stay like that constantly so let’s not worry about it.
「Yoshー, now then――」
「Ah, wait a minute!」
Nicole was about to give the signal to run, but I remembered something just before he can give the signal. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「What’s wrong?」
Being stopped from leaving, Elna-kaasan becomes somewhat dissatisfied.
However, this is not the time to worry about it.
「Nicole, can you tell me Lag and the other dogs' total weight?」
「Umm.....I think they are around the late 90 kg」
I feel like he may not be good at calculation, but the weight of each dog is probably around 30 or so.
There are three of them and they are around late 90 kg. Assuming the weight of the sled is 10 kg, then they will weigh around 100 kg.
Suppose that Nord-tousan’s weight is around 70 kg, no way Elna-kaasan will be 30 kg――
「Al? Are you thinking something strange?」
「I, I haven’t thought about anything!?」
Even though I hadn’t said anything, Elna-kaasan said something according to her sharp intuition.
I felt like the temperature around has become lower by 5 degrees for a second.
I, in any case, due to a realistic problem, it will be a problem for Lag and the other dogs to pull the sled.
But, there’s no way I can say that it will be impossible for two people to ride on the sled together in front of Elna-kaasan now. It’s the number one taboo. I don’t know what would happen to me if I said that.
「I’m going to check on the rope for a bit!」
I approach Lag and the other dogs while giving that as an explanation.
Then, I use Body Strengthening magic on them, since it’s a combination of non-attribute and Water magic while pretending to check on the rope.
「Wan!?」
By doing this, I’m strengthening Lag and the other dogs' bodies with magic and their state will be like they are using Body Strengthening magic.
The result that can be exhibited will change depending on each individual’s aggregate amount of mana and physical strength, but it should be able to supplement the missing amount of 20 kg between the three of them. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Wan wan wan!」
Perhaps their bodies have now been filled with strength from being strengthened since Lag and the other dogs are barking excitedly.
Though it was my trump card to somehow beat Eleonora-neesan, but even so, my instincts were telling me to use it now.
Why didn’t I use it on Torr and Asmo for a snowball fight? That’s because no matter how you strengthen the number ‘1’, it will not become a large number all of a sudden.
I was also hesitant to use it against Roomba back when we were having a pillow fight in Kagura, but I felt like it would become uncontrollable if I went that far so I refrained from doing so.
Anyway, with this now they should be able to pull those two.
「No problem here!」
「Is that so? Then, let’s go around this area and return!」
「Wan wan!」
After Nicole gave that order, the sled carrying Nord-tousan and Elna-kaasan safely slid.
Hearing Elna-kaasan and Nord-tousan’s happy voices, I feel wholeheartedly relieved.
If the sled won’t move forward even with that, then I will have no choice but to ruthlessly declare that the sled is overweight.
「Hm? Even though there are two people riding the sled, it’s faster than when being ridden by a single person? Also, Lag and the other dogs are looking more excited than usual?」
「Tha, that’s just your imagination」
Let’s finish this as soon as possible so it won’t put a significant burden on Lag and the other dogs. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
