The full blue moon shone on the earth, staining everything with a hazy layer of cyan.

This is the blue moon unique to Elune's winter, and it is a symbol of Skadi, the goddess of winter. Every year, the fifth day after the third snow in winter, the Winter Veil Festival, is a festival dedicated to Skadi, the goddess of winter.

On this day, people wear traditional leather jackets, hats that cover their ears, and sing and dance around the bonfire to celebrate the arrival of winter. Towns in the north with conditions will also hold traditional events such as ice sculpture competitions, ski competitions, and sled races.

If it is the shrine of Skadi, the goddess of winter, the Winter Veil Festival will be the most important day of the year. There will be important rituals and the promotion of priests will be held.

Somewhere on the western coast of Iraka on the western continent, in a small valley. The dreamlike glow of the blue moon will adorn the small mountain village covered in snow. The cyan moonlight is intertwined with the white snow, adding a bit of fairy tale color to the mystery.

The mountain village is located in the corner of the Agarwar valley near the stream, where a branch of the cat charm clan lives.

It was late at night, and there was silence in the mountain village, as if all the villagers had already slept. But in the silence, there was a thatched hut with a small fire.

The campfire was burning brightly in the house, and a kettle was hanging from the flames, and a steady stream of steam was coming out of the spout of the kettle. There are many large and small bottles and cans scattered around. Most of them were empty, and only a few bottles with caps were filled with contents. Some are filled with dark or mixed liquids, others with powders of various colors.

As soon as you walk into this room, most people will think that this room is a witch's room. The kind of witch with an ugly face, who keeps stirring in the pot with a big stick.

"Three spoonfuls of this brown powder...... Eliza's small nose twitched twice as she approached, and a sweet smell immediately poured into her nostrils, "This thing is wheat and milk...... What does the last one mean? ”

She carefully scooped three spoonfuls of brown powder out of the tin can with a small spoon and put them into the white mug beside her.

The small spoon is made of silver, and it was originally used as a measuring spoon for measuring powdered raw materials in alchemy utensils, and it was used temporarily. The white mug has the head of a kitten with a bow tied on the top of its head, and a heart on the back. There is no doubt that this cup was taken from her "brother Shulick".

- The water is boiling.

Eliza put the mug on the floor and put on thick cotton gloves – oh! No, this one is called a hot cotton glove!

Eliza knew what cotton looked like, a large, white, fluffy flower. Pull out the strands of the flowers and gather them together, whether it's making clothes or gloves, it's very, very warm. This large white flower was a commodity brought by merchants from the south for trade, and the price was somewhat expensive. Eliza had seen it a few times and wanted to buy it a little, but she didn't have a little money in her pocket......

But...... What is hot cotton? If the cotton is burned in the fire, is the part that is not burned hot cotton?

Eliza turned her head to the side cutely.

- Brother Schulick specifically said that using warm cotton gloves can "insulate the heat".

The original hot kettle can be grabbed directly by hand by wearing hot cotton gloves. However, why do they have to be hot cotton gloves, and "ordinary" gloves made of cotton can't be? It's all cotton gloves, why is one okay and the other not? Curious, curious, curious.

- Alas, people are just kittens who have just come of age, and they can only be curious.

When boiling hot water is poured into the mug, the brown powder immediately turns the hot water brown as well. As the liquid in the cup gradually leveled with the rim, the air gradually became more sweet. It's exactly the same as the taste that I just put on the powder and asked directly.

The kitten with the bow on the front of the mug has its head sideways, its teeth bared, and its expression looks like it is laughing happily. As the hot water poured into the cup, the pink bow on the kitten's head gradually turned red. And the arc of the corners of Eliza's mouth slowly rose with the gradual change of color.

Although it was not the first time that the bow had changed color, Eliza still found it very novel and interesting.

- Brother Thuric said that this cup is "porcelain". The cause of the discoloration is the use of "heat transfer" technology.

Porcelain is a very precious and precious thing!

Eliza had not seen porcelain, but had heard the merchants talk about it. Porcelain had to be transported from the far-flung land of silk on the eastern road, and a small, not-so-good-looking plate would cost hundreds of gold coins. Enough for the people of the village to eat for several years!

The mug in her hand is not only exquisitely made, but also very cute, and Eliza fell in love with it at a glance. If it's really porcelain, this cup is undoubtedly priceless! If you sell it in the big city, will it be possible for the village to eat small dried fish every day?

As for the "thermal transfer" technology...... Eliza was completely confused. Even though her brother Thurik had explained the general principle to her, he still didn't understand it at all. To be exact, I didn't understand a word, and after making a start, it became a mosquito coil eye.

- Alas, people are just kittens who have just come of age, and they can't understand things that are too complicated.

Put down the kettle and take off the warm cotton gloves. Eliza sat on the floor, then reached out and grabbed the handle of the mug.

The oncoming heat curls in the face, and the slight sweet fragrance makes people feel happy unconsciously.

Even if it's hot, it should be delicious. Eliza stuck out her small tongue and carefully probed the temperature of the cup. The result was unsurprisingly burned.

"Hmm......"

Eliza's eyes narrowed, her mouth open, her tongue dragged long, and her little hands kept fanning, hoping to ease the pain.

Cat charms are generally "cat tongues" and can't eat hot things.

Freshly boiled water is used to brew drinks, and it is definitely hot.

After grinning and slapping a few times, Eliza's cheeks suddenly bulged as if they were suddenly inflated, and her hands stopped fanning. Because the appearance of dragging the tongue fan is too unsightly.

- People are beautiful girls, and the image must be paid attention to!

Eliza held the mug in her arms and warmed her little hands by the warmth of the wall of the cup.

The liquid in the mug has an enticing sweet aroma – quite a luxurious taste. Constantly tempting Eliza: Take a sip! Give it a try! You're welcome, you're welcome!

Sweetness is a luxury for the cats who live in the Agarwal Valley. For the sweetness in their mouths, they even dared to climb a tree more than thirty meters high to dig a honeycomb without protection. Even if it is stung by a big bee, it is not a big bag.

Even so, there is not much honey taken out of the honeycomb, and there are many little ones in the village, and everyone has a share, and everyone has almost only one mouthful in their hand. It's gone......

But after a trip to Lakesprings late this fall, everything seemed to have changed.

Eliza scratched her ears, then changed her sitting position to make herself more comfortable.

For the first time, I realized that the taste of "spicy" can also be made delicious. Even though my tongue was a little swollen, I still wanted to eat and refused to put down the spoon in my hand.

The first time I knew, it turned out that there was such a cold thing as "cold drink". A bite of a cold drink on a hot summer day should be a very, very pleasant treat. It's just that how to make things cold in the summer should be a problem.

And the finger-sized dried fruit. You only need to put one in your mouth and chew it slowly, squeezing out the flavor of the dried fruit little by little. A small piece can be happy for a long, long time. There are sweet, salty, sour, sweet and sour, salty and sweet, sweet and salty......

Eliza blinked, frowning in annoyance.

- There are many kinds of dried fruits that have been eaten, which one is the most delicious?

Eliza thought for a while, but didn't come to a conclusion, but instead aroused the cravings in her stomach, and her saliva flowed. Every dried fruit is delicious, and every dried fruit is delicious. It seems that having too many choices is also a fret, a blissful wretch.

- Alas, there are so many dried fruits, what kind will Brother Thulick bring back when he returns? It's just a kitten who has just come of age, and she can't decide anything.

The mug in his hand began to become warm, no longer as hot as before.

Although there was a lot of hay in the corners of the hut and under the floor, the hut still leaked on all sides. Even if a bonfire is lit in the house, the temperature in the house will never rise. If you don't want to shiver from the cold, it's best to put on a coat in the house.

Eliza tested the temperature of the liquid in the mug again, then took a small sip.

The aroma of cocoa is full of sweetness, and the warmth swirls on the tip of the tongue, soothing the burning pain just now, and making the taste buds get great satisfaction.

"Hmm......"

Eliza's puffed cheeks calmed and she nodded in satisfaction. But then she frowned slightly.

- It seems to be a little light, and there seems to be no added sugar in this brown powder called "malt milk essence".

Eliza got up and crawled to the corner of the room with her head down like a cat. Dig out a bag, reach into it, pull out a small white note, and then crawl back to the original position and sit down.

Place the note on the mug and tear it gently. Tiny white crystals then fall from the slip of paper. The white crystals sink into the brown liquid and quickly disappear.

Eliza dropped the note, put the small silver spoon in the mug and stirred it a few times. Then he raised his glass again and took a small sip.

"Hmm!"

- So sweet and delicious!

The aroma of cocoa has a wonderful sweetness, and the sweet taste spreads on the tongue.

Raising the cup and pouring it into his mouth, the warm liquid danced on the tip of his tongue again, then slid down his throat and finally into his stomach. The mellow and sweet taste made Eliza hum softly unconsciously.

"Let's learn to meow together, meow meow together......"

Although she had only heard it once, Eliza still remembered the song firmly. Even, she clearly remembers the feeling of her blushing and heartbeat when she heard this song that day.

- It's really too bold and too direct! But I like it!

This song is a foul on cat charms, especially cat girls!

The little deer in my heart began to "touch, touch, touch" and jump, and the little face began to blush slightly.

Humming his favorite love song softly, that handsome face naturally appeared in his heart. But thinking of this face, Eliza couldn't help but sigh slightly.

- Brother Thurik is such a sinful man!

The tall big sister, Sister Lily, Lily Olosika von Bridges. Usually always shouting "hey", "hey", "hey" to Brother Thulick, always ignoring Brother Thulick, and targeting Brother Thulick if he has nothing to do...... But as a woman, her instinct tells Eliza that it's not that simple.

Sister Lily is tall and has a bumpy figure. Compare yourself to yourself...... Eliza looked down at her short arms and legs, and then touched her chest and back. Suddenly, all of a sudden, all the good mood is gone!

Sister Lily is not only beautiful - but her hair is a little short - but she is also very powerful! Sister Lily is a paladin of Eros, a veritable big shot. Sister Lily's swordsmanship is superb, and her spells are also very powerful. Lily's sister Thulick's brother's partner, and together they fight zombies in the underground passages! Sister Lily also has a beautiful unicorn as a mount, and she is very, very rich.

It's not better, after comparing it, not to mention being in a good mood, Eliza is about to be depressed.

In contrast, I want to have no looks, I want to have no figure, and I want to be short. The spell will be a little bit, but it can only release lightning when it comes and goes; Swordsmanship, martial arts or anything at all, the first thing you have to worry about when holding a weapon is whether it will hurt yourself. As for the little money in your pocket...... Not a single copper plate!

Life is hard...... Wrong! It's hard to make a meow, and meow sighs!

"Haven't you slept yet?"

Whispered words from behind him.

Eliza turned, and Shino, a fellow of the Endless Glacier, appeared in front of her.

The white-haired and red-eyed Shino is emerging from his beige sleeping bag. I saw her getting dressed while drilling. By the time she got out of her sleeping bag, Shino had already changed into her usual leather outfit.

"Well, I'll be asleep right away. Shino, you're keeping vigil today? ”

"Yes."

"I want to have a drink of this...... Does malt milk go again? Sweet and delicious. ”

"Nope."

I didn't see Shino push the door out, and his figure disappeared as soon as he was short.

- Alas, people are just kittens who have just come of age, and they won't run away with this kind of "whoosh......

Wait a minute!

Just now I only cared about comparing with Lily's sister, but of course the result was a complete failure...... Now I suddenly find that there is a very, very powerful competitor hidden around me! That's right, Shino, it's you!

Age – a little older than yourself.

Tall - a little taller than yourself.

Body shape - this should be about the same as yourself. But Shino is beautiful! Among the people of the same clan I have ever seen, Sino is the most beautiful!

Skills - much better than yourself.

A little money in your pocket - it's not much, but there are definitely several copper plates! More than yourself......

Eliza snapped her fingers, and the more she broke them, the heavier her heart became. The expression on his face is no longer frustrated, but wants to cry!

- Woo woo woo...... Unexpectedly, among all of them, I was the worst and least advantageous! Woowoo......

- Shino...... Sister Shino, can we discuss......
