Save Log 27: Here we are Getting Ready for Winter

The town of Midlofhin has crowded and filled with people's chattering not so long ago when the Festival of Harvest was going on. Now, it has become quiet and calm. As winter makes its entrance slowly after late autumn, people stay in their houses. Not many people run around the town square now. Although, the market is busy as it was.

I am now inside the newly remade library of this town which is run by a demon in disguise. Cel didn't commit anything serious since the day he came to this town.

Except for me, Furara and Lina were also present. Furara was reading a history book while Lina was napping on a basic magic skills book.

I was reading a book on Elvin language. Need to read that book that my sister gave me.

"It's pretty hard."

"What is?"

"The Elvin language. The writing grammar is complex and confusing."

"It is pretty confusing. I can help you if you want. But, let me finish this chapter first." she sank into her book while Lina still naps away.

I tried to understand a few rules and words. Out of nowhere, Cel came rushing toward us and slammed a book on Lina's sleeping head.

"Ittai! What the hell! What was that for?"

"Don't put those nasty drools on my books. Also, no yelling in the library." Cel was in her female form now. She stays like this when there is no one around except us. Lina went back to her sleep which made Cel slam on her head again and retrieved the book under her.

"Draken didn't came."

"Nope, he is busy with Joro on something. Don't know what." I replied to Cel who was worried about Draken.

"I see. Hope he comes next time. Do you want any tea?"

"Well, not sure if drinking tea from a demon is a good idea." said Furara.

"Rest assured. Nothing will happen if you drink it. I will get some tea then." saying her piece, she left our table.

Furara went back to reading, I went back to my book as well. I should learn to write this world's language.

"Say Furara, can you teach me how to...what are you writing?"

"Oh, just a reply to my family. I got a letter yesterday." said Furara.

"What the heck?! You got a letter from your family and didn't tell us that to us?"

"No yelling." Cel's voice came from the back of the library. I kept my voice low.

"What the heck Furara."

"Th-this is just a letter from my family. What's so special about that?"

"I am just curious about your family. Can I read the letter?"

"Ah..no."

"Why not?"

"Well...I can't say why."

"Hmm…." I stared at her intensely. She was getting nervous all of a sudden.

"Wh-what?"

"I guess I am not too royal to read that."

"It has nothing to do with royalty. Here, read it if you want to." she said furiously and gave me an opened envelope. A letter was inside it which was neatly folded.

'Dear Furara,

I am very glad you made this much progress in a short time. Your father and I are happy about it. Keep on going!

Thank you for your support with the Azuls you sent us monthly. You know we have a big family to handle so your father can't bear the expenses alone. Your little sisters and brothers are waiting to see you and your comrades. Do come visit us when you all have time. Your mother can't get anything nice but hope you like the Zanglifian sweets. Be sure to share them with your comrade and not eat them alone.

Stay safe and good luck.

Your loving mother,

Mamatsuyo'

I finished reading the letter, when I was reading Zanglifian Sweet Lina woke up from her sleep

"Zanglifian sweets?! Where? Where?"

"No noises." another warning came out from the back of the library.

"Furara ate them alone I think."

"No I didn't, I saved some for you guys too."

"Really? Where are they? It's been a while since I had Zanglifian sweets." Lina started to drool.

"What's so special about Zanglifian sweets?"

Lina stared at me as if I were a creature from another world. Furara also stared at me weirdly.

"Do you even live in this world?"

Yes, but not before I got reincarnated here.

"Zanglifian sweets are the Rapengya's nearest sweets of all. Anyone who didn't try it for at least one time got his life wasted. The sweets are diamond shapes, look like magic crystals. They can be different colors according to their flavor. They got this soft texture that melts in your mouth." Furara started to explain about the Zanglifian sweet. It sounds delicious enough for me.

"Yeah, it's super satisfying."

"Alright, if it's that good, where are they now? You said you saved some for us." I said to Furara.

"They a-are back in the mansion."

"Ho, you kids talking about Zanglifian sweets. For a human sweet, it does taste quite better than the others I have enjoyed." Cel came to our table, placing teacups for each of us.

"Thank you for the tea Cel-san"

"I heard it tastes good when you drink tea with it. Zanglifian sweets I mean." commented Cel sipping on her cup.

"Oh, I heard that one too. Never got to try it though."

"Let's try it now." Furara pulled out a small packet out of her left sleeve.

"You were hiding it with you all along!"

"So-sorry."

"Who cares, let's just enjoy the sweets." Lina pulled out a green diamond-shaped candy. It looked soft and squishy. I picked a red one. It was pleasing to touch the sweet. ('May I have one?' said Cel) Better than marshmallow.

"It feels so good to touch it." I commented while holding the red candy in my hand.

"Mmm! It's delicious! It does taste good with tea." said Furara.

"The rumors weren't wrong."

I took the sweet and slowly put it into my mouth, it started to melt like butter, with a horrible taste.

"Psstt!"

I spit out the sweet right away and drank the cup of tea which burned my tongue.

"Gahah! Hut, huut."

"What the fuck? Did you just spit out the Zanglifian sweet?"

"No one, not in my entire life, has spit out such delicacy." said Furara looking at me shocked.

"No on sad it had honey init. Ahaha hut! Fuwawa hel me alwedi."

"I won't help someone who disrespects such nice food."

"My tong iss banin!"

In the end I had to go to a hospital to heal my tongue. The reason why we went to the library, was to discuss how to survive the winter. But, we couldn't do it because I spit out a honey made candy.

"I just don't like honey ok?"

"Yeah yeah whatever."
