(TL: This is surprisingly a very short chapter having only 3 parts. Lets see what the author has in store for us)
(TL: my mistake, I accidentally published the  wrong chapter, though only 2 people read it by then, I removed it as soon as possible)

Ski Resort(1)

In the original romance fantasy, "Don't Love That Princess," there was an episode where the protagonist, Eisel, went on a ski trip with the male leads.

It was likely around the second semester of her second year, and I remember finding it ridiculous that the protagonist would be leisurely skiing while the world was in chaos, with dark mages causing global havoc.

But, that was then.

Now, it's the winter break of our first year.

Eisel found herself at the ski resort a full year earlier than in the original story, thanks to Flame's initiative.

Even while Baek Yu-Seol was unconscious, Flame tirelessly sought out what needed to be done, and one of those things was this:

To reveal the truth to Eisel.

The truth about the day when Duke Morph had to die. In the original story, Eisel learned this truth during a ski trip in her second year, second semester. But... what difference does it make to know a year earlier?

(TL: I don't get this part, Eisel already knows the past and Flame was with her too, so this statement doesn't really make sense to me... let's see)

Since Baek Yu-Seol's arrival, the original story has been altered beyond recognition. So, Flame decided that the best course of action was to help Eisel as much as possible by utilizing whatever parts of the original plot could still be relevant.

"Flame, but do you know how to ski?"

"Huh? Of course I do."

"Wow, really? This is my first time."

"I've done it before. My parents used to take me when I was younger."

"Wow, really? Do nobles usually go skiing a lot?"

"Not really. Commoners go often too. It's just that you guys never had the chance to go."

As the girl said, skiing was quite a popular winter sport in Aether World, just as it is in modern Korea.

While the condo resorts near the ski slopes were outrageously expensive, there were always cheaper pensions available just outside the city, easily accessible by carriage.

As the girls chatted on the train, the tunnel that had enclosed their view finally ended, and their eyes widened at the sight before them.

"Wow, so that's the Blue Dragon Ski Resort."

"It's beautiful..."

The Blue Dragon Ski Resort.

The words "Blue Dragon" were written in glowing blue letters at the peak of the snowy mountain, floating in the air like something out of a dream.

Dozens of 'Lift Balls' floated about, and the excited screams of those trying out zero-gravity skiing could be heard echoing from a distance.

It really is similar to Earth.

Aside from the addition of some magical elements, it was almost identical.

The main difference was that there was no distinction between lifts and gondolas.

The spherical shields placed over the lifts were the Blue Dragon Ski Resort's unique method of protection against the cold. The shields had no shock absorption, but they ensured warmth, adhering to the magical world's rules that shields couldn't be perfectly spherical.
