Skiing Down The Mountain
「Now that our bodies have warmed up, it’s time to start」
「Finally!」
As I was enjoying the tea while quietly watching the snowscape, it was decided that it was time for us to start skiing. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Eleonora-neesan was looking bored at what Nord-tousan’s was talking about but then she said that as if she had been waiting for it.
It looks like drinking tea while watching the scenery didn’t suit her character. Even though there’s such beautiful scenery spread out in front of her.
「……I’m fine with just relaxing while drinking tea like this」
「That’s also fine but we are going skiing today」
Sylvio-niisan is smiling wryly when he hears my complaint. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
We came to ski with the whole family today. There’s no use complaining now that we’re already here.
Thanks to what I have done so far, now I can easily get here with Teleport next time. I wonder if I should make a snow hut just like when I did to fish wasabi and relax here next time?
I put on my skis just like everyone else while thinking about such a thing. Properly tightening the belt, I also make sure they’re firmly fastened.
Holding the ski poles with both hands, I then also wear my hat and goggles.
I wouldn’t say that my vision is as clear as the goggles back in my previous life, but even with goggles on my vision was securely guaranteed.
「…………」
Eleonora-neesan - who is beside me - also wears her goggles and she looks at me.
「What is it? Eleonora-neesan」
「You look more dignified than usual with a goggle on, don’t you?」
「Does that mean my eyes are not looking dignified usually?」
And when I replied like that, Eleonora-neesan didn’t particularly make any reply maybe because she lost interest or something.
Really, what a rude sister.
「Kaasan and tousan look cool when you wear goggles」
Sylvio-niisan said in admiration so I looked in that direction and saw Nord-tousan and Elna-kaasan wearing goggles perfectly.
The usual gentle smile of those two are now less visible and they now have an air of unapproachability somehow.
It’s the kind of feeling you get when you see someone at a ski resort and makes you think 「Ah, this person is a pro……」.
Those two are fully equipped and just showed how so good they are in it.
「I wonder when was the last time I wear googles like this?」
「At the time when we take a subjugation request for a monster that raises a sandstorm in Lazur desert, I think」
「That request was really difficult wasn’t it」
The two of them are talking animatedly as though reminiscing of an old story between them.
I’m sure I’ve heard from Elna-kaasan’s lesson that monsters that manipulate weather are classified as the highest rank. Meaning, I guess that was probably not a light-hearted memory that can be classified generally. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Rather than that, I’ve never heard of that story before, was the story appear in the Dragon Slayer book?」
「No, the book Al bought in the royal capital only told adventures that happened inside the Kingdom」
Sylvio-niisan shook his head when I got curious and tried asking about it.
Guess they were talking about stories that didn’t happen in Misphilt kingdom.
If so then it’s possible it was not made into a book. Maybe if I go to Lazur kingdom, someone may have written the legend of Nord-tousan and the others in a book.
……let’s look for that story the next time I go to Lazur kingdom.
「Well then, shall we go」
「Yes」
Using the ski stocks, Nord-tousan and Elna-kaasan swiftly descended the slope.
Looking down at the slope, it has quite the angle.
It’s incomparable to the slopes I built in Koryatt village and the mansion. Despite all that, it’s amazing they can descend down the slope without hesitation.
「Come on, we’re going too!」
Eleonora-neesan jumps on the spot and spins her board around. Then she used the momentum to slide down the slope.
「Now then, Sylvio-niisan. Don’t leave my side okay? Ah, the line just now sounded like the line from the main character of a story, wasn’t it」
「Maybe I would have been moved too if it wasn’t for the last part. Anyhow, please take care of me」
That’s cause I felt like I said a line that doesn’t suit me at all so it can’t be helped if I said that. It’s Sylvio-niisan and Nord-tousan’s duty to say such an embarrassing line. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Then let’s go」
「Un」
After Sylvio-niisan gave me a firm nod, we used our ski stocks to move forward and descended down the slope.
Then, halfway down the slope, we saw Nord-tousan, Elna-kaasan, and Eleonora-neesan sliding backward while looking up at us.
Though, they then started sliding forward again while looking relieved after seeing us sliding down the slope.
There’s Sylvio-niisan - who is not used to this - here so they are probably worried if we can slide down the slope safely.
Rather, the three of them are doing skillful moves, aren’t they? Sliding backward is quite difficult you know.
As we start to slide down the slope, we start to accelerate effortlessly with the momentum as our ski boards glide smoothly. It feels good to slide down the snow that has accumulated on the snowy mountain with its *shaa* sound.
The wind is a little cold but it’s not a problem thanks to the goggle and hat. If anything, the cold wind caressing my skin should rather be the true charm of skiing.
There is a limit to the length when you slide down a slope made with Ice magic so is time when you have to apply the brake, but there’s no need to worry about that here.
In exchange for that, we can end up going faster than usual here.
The summit we were just at a moment ago was left behind in an instant and the scenery continued to flow past us.
「Sylvio-niisan, are you alright with this speed?」
「Un, I was a little surprised when it got so fast but I think I can bear it at this speed」
The slope we are on is straight and there are few ups and downs so it looks like even Sylvio-niisan is able to slide down the slope while controlling his speed well.
It’s just that, it’s going to be tough if there are sudden turns or ups and downs so let’s just follow up on that with Psychic.
I slide down the slope while checking on Sylvio-niisan. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Hmーm! It’s great to be able to slide down a slope to your heart’s content!」
Eleonora-neesan was sliding down the slope at a considerable speed.
It’s different from a slope made with Ice magic and she’s probably happy she can slide down a slope to her heart’s content.
Eleonora-neesan’s let-down reddish brown hair is trailing behind her, lifting the snow into the air.
She looks like she’s enjoying sliding down the mountain by repeatedly doing sudden turns at a great speed.
And further ahead of Eleonora-neesan are Nord-tousan and Elna-kaasan skiing down.
Unlike Eleonora-neesan who relies on great and rapid speed, the two of them are skiing very elegantly.
It’s as if their legs have become with the ski boards as they are sliding down calmly.
However, just when you’re thinking that’s all after they displayed such calm skiing, they suddenly showed a large, sharp slide as if shaving into the snow, drawing a large arc with a significant elevation difference.
They each made a great turn and intersected with turns, but they didn’t collide with each other.
Such beautiful and elegant skiing looks as if two snow spirits appeared in winter and are dancing together.
Although I couldn’t see their expression, you could see by watching them skiing that they were enjoying it very much.
「Tousan and kaasan have such a pretty skiing skill」
「Un. They are already amazing」
Are you both professional skiers or what? Or so I would like to ask after seeing their splendid skiing.
「It’s impossible for us to do it like them so let’s just relax and slide down while enjoying the scenery」
「That’s true」
The real pleasure of skiing down the mountain is the length of the slope and the great speed, but as expected, the best part is still the scenery.
I think the best way is to enjoy the scenery of the mountain while descending the slope exhilaratingly.
Making turns while maintaining your top speed like Eleonora-neesan and the others are pro technique.
We’ll just enjoy this at the average speed. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
