Setiria was Ruel's own territory.
This time he wanted to take a closer look around.
He wanted to know what delicacies each village had, what beauty it possessed, and the expressions on people's faces. He also wanted to identify any shortcomings or geographical features that could become weaknesses, contrary to the reports.
However, it was winter now, and with the things that needed to be done immediately in addition to the opposition of Cassion and Billo, he had no choice but to postpone the schedule.
"Aren't you feeling cold?"
Ruel looked at the blue flames floating around his body as Tyson continued to question him.
There was no time to be cold.
"Yes, I feel warm thanks to my uncle."
—A lake full of stars! Can this body really swim?
Leo couldn't contain his excitement as he gazed at the large lake.
Ruel nodded his head.
"Well, we'll have to break the ice a bit."
"I'll do it!"
Aris created a flame right out of his hand.
—This body wants to do this too!
Nevertheless, Ruel wanted to take some time to go out, even if only for a little while. He wanted to cool his head and try fishing for the first time.
In the middle of the night, Lake Prina was more beautiful than the lake in the town of Dotol in Cyronian. The Milky Way was completely embedded in the water, and the quiet breeze was pleasant.
"Aren't your hands cold? I'll give you gloves."
Cassion took out a pair of pure white gloves from his pocket.
"It's okay, fishing is just fun."
"I put the bait on the hook."
Cassion spoke pointedly.
'How condescending.'
Ruel frowned slightly.
What else can he do if the bait is disgusting?
"I'll be the one catching. Don't just stand there uncle, sit down. Cough."
The fishing rod Tyson was holding shook violently at the sound of coughing.
"Don't overreact. I've changed my medication recently, so my cough has decreased a lot, and I'm feeling better."
"No, you don't! You had a fever earlier..."
"Look, there's a fish swimming over there."
Ruel naturally pointed towards the lake as they spoke.
—Oh! It's true!
Leo wagged his tail and leaped towards the water.
Tyson's face, which had brightened up slightly, stiffened again.
"Haven't you already heard about my condition from Fran?"
Ruel immediately gestured to the blue flames around them.
"It's really warm."
It wasn't an empty statement; he truly meant it. It was different when he was just stargazing. With this level of warmth, there was no chance of catching a cold.
