Chapter 751 – Winter Starts
Zabuton and the spiderlings hibernated.
We can only meet them until spring.
The non-hibernating spiderlings, who are resistant to cold, are all fired up.
Take it easy.
Of course, we’re counting on you.
However, each of you must have a hot stone* (thermal insulation stone).
TN: I guess it was concluded that it was easier to call it like that after several hundred chapters.
Also, even if you are holding onto a hot stone, you shouldn’t let your guard down.
It’s cold.
You wouldn’t want to stay frozen outside like the slimes until spring, do you?
When I said that, the slimes got angry at me.
But it’s true that those who are outside are frozen, right?
TN: Slimes: You just insulted our whole race of critters(?), but yes.
Look at how few you are now.
Before you get mad at me, make sure your whole race pays attention to it.

And following Zabuton’s group, the pond turtles in the reservoir went into hibernation too.
See you in spring.
…..
Ehto, Loo.
We’re actually saying goodbye.
Can you please stop dancing around while holding a pond turtle shell in your arms?
Besides, we receive a good amount of them every year.
They are not too rare for you to dance, right?
「Even so, this is precious. It’s a phantom material! There are so many uses for it so you can never have too many.」
She stopped dancing but she’s now skipping.
She must be very happy.
Maa, the shell of pond turtles can be used not only as medicinal material but also as magic catalyst or magic component for magic tools.
For Loo, it was as if she had fresh material to use for her research this winter.
However, that doesn’t mean you can monopolize it.
If Flora or Tier wants some, give them too.
「I-I know. If they ask, I’ll give some.」
Good.
By the way, dragon scales are also precious, why aren’t you as happy?
「They are indeed rare but they take a lot of work to process.」
It seems like it’s really troublesome to use since you have to use other precious materials just to process it.
「In addition, we have too many of them that no one would mind if you throw them away.」
If you really try throwing one, the people around will desperately stop you.
Next year, we’ll have to build more warehouses for the scales.

And so, winter came.
It suddenly started with a blizzard.
I was surprised.
However, we are well prepared.
There’s nothing to worry about.
Fufufu.
This level of blizzard won’t scare anyone.
That’s what I thought.

The next day.
When the blizzard subsided, we checked the village and found that a part of the wall of the cow barn broke.
Impossible!
The cow barn had never been broken before.
And it has always been taken care of.
There’s no way it would break with just a blizzard like that!
「Apparently, it was a cow who broke it.」
It seems like a young calf was startled by the sound of the blizzard and went berserk.
If that is the case, it can’t be helped.
Fortunately, the only one that was damaged was the wall of the barn and no cow was harmed.
Weren’t they cold?
I was worried since there are a lot of cows in the barn that would be directly impacted by what happened but the spiderlings with hot stones appeared and warmed the cows.
Ah, so they kept the cows warm with their hot stones?
Thank you very much.
That’s a big help.
Hnn?
You are apologizing because you weren’t able to call us?
No, no, there was a blizzard.
You did the right thing by not forcing yourself to go out.
You did well by staying.
However, there are a lot of spiderlings.
I knew there were a few of them are going in and out of here in shifts to protect the barn but I’m sure it shouldn’t be this many.
They didn’t move here because of the blizzard, right?
No?
