Both carriages were familiar to me.

Because it was Jake and Maya’s carriage.

Among them, Maya’s carriage arrived first. Maya got off the carriage and came to me.

“Hello, Mir? Your clothes look warm.”

Maya reached out and touched the hem of my sleeve with his hand.

Then he said as soon as he smiled softly.

“Well, at this level, it won’t be very cold in the north.”

Surely if Maya, a native of the Duchy, said that, at least I wouldn’t be shivering in the cold.

I was convinced.

‘That’s a relief. Phew.’

After that, Jake’s carriage also stopped.

As soon as the carriage opened, Jake jumped off and rushed towards me.

‘What? What is Jake holding in his hand.’

But Jake’s hands were full of something.

“Gasp, gasp……. Mir. Take this.”

“Oh my God, what is all this, Jay?”

“This is a blanket, this is a water bottle. The blanket has thermal insulation magic applied to it, so it warms up when you cover it. And this water bottle heats up the water inside.”

As if waiting for my question, Jake explained it.

Apparently, that water bottle was similar to a thermos bottle.

“Wow! It’s really amazing. Thank you so much.”

“Yes, actually, I made it with my father all yesterday because I was afraid Mir would be cold in the north.”

When I was happy, Jake smiled with a proud expression.

But I was a little worried about that kind of Jake.

‘I think he was taking care of myself, but he was neglecting himself…….’

I was very grateful for him to always give first for me, but every time this happened, I felt a little sorry.

It always seemed to me that I was getting more than Jake gave.

In the end I decided.

‘I’ll have to take care of Jake during this trip.’

I asked implicitly, thinking that Jake might ask, ‘What?’ if he heard it.

“Then, Jake. Why don’t we ride in the same carriage?”

“…… really? Great.”

Jake looked like he couldn’t believe what I was saying.

Jake, who handed me the items and was about to return to his carriage, followed me into my carriage.

“Me too! I want to ride the same carriage.”

“It can’t be. If we ride too many in one carriage, the horse will suffer.”

Cedric pouted out his mouth and muttered, but I didn’t want to see the horses of the Marquis’ residence collapse.

“Tch.”

As Cedric got back on his carriage, our carriage moved towards the teleportation area.

After about an hour.

We were in the northern part of the kingdom, no longer the capital of the empire.

The teleport was completed in the blink of an eye without any dizziness, and as soon as I noticed that I had come to the North, I felt the cold weather gradually.

The transparent window of the carriage was covered in a thick layer of steam as white as snow.

Jake and I played, clapping our fingers in the window on the side where we were sitting.

I wrote ‘Jake passed by’ in the far corner of the window without Jake’s knowledge.

“Wow! It’s all white outside.”

Then, I was mesmerized for a moment by the reflected scenery outside.

Even in the Empire, snow fell in the middle of winter, but it did not fall so abundantly that the whole world looked white.

Snow slowly piled up on top of other children’s carriages ahead.

“Look, I can see my breath, Mir. Whoo-”

Then Jake said, startled to see his breath turn to white steam.

“Oh, really? Mine too.”

Of course, so was I.

We looked at each other for a moment and laughed.

Then I noticed that Jake looked a little cold.

‘I need to pour warm water.’

I rummaged through my arms and pulled out the water bottle that Jake had given me earlier.

Fortunately, it was an enchanted carriage, so the inside was as calm as standing still without running.

‘But just in case, let’s be careful not to spill it.’

I poured a little bit of water into the cup and blew until it cooled to the right temperature.

Jake, who was looking at me like that, asked a question.

“Wow, it’s cold. But Mir, do you want to drink water?”

“What? No. Jay, you look cold.”

Having said that, I handed Jake the cup.

“…… !”

Jake looked at me with eyes that were somehow moved.

Then he slowly took the cup.

“…… Thank you, Mir.”

“Don’t mention it. After all, you gave it to me. I have to share. It may be hot, so drink slowly.”

I smiled and waved my hand.

Rather, Jake’s hand, which touched me slightly while giving him the cup, was quite cold.

Was it because we continued to paint on the window?

Or is it because the cold air from outside has leaked all the way here?

‘I don’t know, but I need to warm him up.’

With that in mind, I rummaged through the small suitcase I had left under the seat.

But alas! I couldn’t find it at all, as it must have been that I had left my spare gloves at the mansion, just in case.

‘I can’t. Then what I’m using…….’

Eventually I took off the glove and handed it to Jake.

“Come on, Jake. Take this too.”

“What? Isn’t this the glove Mir was wearing just now? If you give me this…….”

Jake looked surprised.

“That’s right. Jay, your hands are cold. I’ve just been wearing it, so it’ll warm up quickly. Go ahead and try it.”

I put the glove on Jake’s hand.
