The [Bear Signpost] was pointing at the land where the snowy mountain was, but it was not specifically pointing at the top of the snowy mountain.
“For now, I guess I should check the surroundings. It’s not too late to check the snowy mountain later.” (Yuna)
“Alright.” (Kagali)
First, I checked the surroundings with my detection skill.
There were no monsters or people around.
We started walking along the coastline.
“You know, since it’s supposed to guide us, it should have guided us until our destination. It’s inconvenient for it to suddenly stop working.” (Kagali)
I agreed with her view.
If God was guiding us anyway, I wanted him to guide us to the end.
Nothing was good if done half-heartedly.
But if it was something God set up, it was not impossible to imagine what it was for.
After defeating the Mithril Golem and the giant serpent, I obtained some special items.
God didn’t tell me about those things from the beginning.
I guess I have to look for what it was guiding me to from this point forward.
Riding Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, Kagali-san and I moved aimlessly.
“There’s nothing here.” (Kagali)
“Yeah, but do you feel anything?” (Yuna)
“I don’t really, what about you?” (Kagali)
I didn’t detect anything suspicious as well.
“I’m using heat magic, but I still feel cold.” (Kagali)
“Is the weather getting colder?” (Yuna)
“No. It’s more like the magic in the area that’s causing this.” (Kagali)
Kagali-san stretched out her hand to feel something invisible.
I imitated her and put my hand out, but I couldn’t feel anything.
“What about Swaying Bear, Hugging Bear…” (Yuna)
“”Kuuuuh”
Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear shook their heads.
Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear didn’t seem to sense anything as well.
Kagali-san was something like a fox spirit, so maybe she sensed something different.
“So, do you understand what it is?” (Yuna)
“I have no idea. I just felt something was off. That’s why I asked you.” (Kagali)
I checked again, but I still couldn’t feel anything.
“But if Kagali-san feels something is off, that means there’s something strange happening here.” (Yuna)
“Do you believe my vague description?” (Kagali)
“I don’t think you are lying at the very least. I believe that you are really feeling something is off. The light from that signpost actually pointed to this place.” (Yuna)
We still had to be cautious.
“If my vague feeling is right, then the source of that feeling is just ahead.” (Kagali)
Believing in Kagali-san, we moved forward.
And soon enough, we understood the truth about the strange feeling that Kagali-san felt, which was the correct decision for us to use as reference.
“What is this…” (Yuna)
In front of us was a port town frozen in ice.
Buildings, roads, trees, ships, everything was frozen.
It could be called a frozen town.
“Kagali-san, what is this?” (Yuna)
“I don’t know, let’s check if there are people here first.” (Kagali)
I’d already checked with my detection skill. There were no human reactions within the detection range.
“There doesn’t seem to be anyone nearby.” (Yuna)
Kagali-san, who knew that Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear could detect monsters and people nearby, had an indescribable expression on her face when I said those words.
“Let’s check the town for now.” (Kagali)
Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear carried us and entered the town.
