By doing all those things you just said!!

[bluerosestyle]

I don't have a choice. Maybe it's not the same for you since your unit gets along, but... even so, you know what it's like to leave people you care about to die.

[sleeplessknight]

W-Well, yeah, but...

[bluerosestyle]

[looks at

he's listening...]

[sleeplessknight]

... Don't do it at the cost of your own well-being!

[bluerosestyle]

. . . I don't know how.

I bought a lot of memories lately, trying to find a different way to deal with everything, but I think I made everything worse. Now everywhere here is freezing, and I don't know how to stop that either.

[sleeplessknight]

What do you mean...?

[bluerosestyle]

It's not usually this cold here. And it's been getting colder and colder lately. There's even ice floating down the river.

[sleeplessknight]

How can we fix that?

[... finally taking a bite of one of the skewers]

[bluerosestyle]

. . . I'm not sure what the source of the cold is. Finding it might help, but that's probably dangerous.

[sleeplessknight]

I'll do it! We're all supposed to be here for a reason, so maybe that's it!

[bluerosestyle]

A-Are you sure? But I don't know how long you'll stay warm like that, even with that Sacred Art...

[sleeplessknight]

Ugh... And here I thought it would be pointless to bring my other ability instead...

[bluerosestyle]

I can try to teach you how to do that yourself, but I'm not sure it'll work.

[sleeplessknight]

Let's try it!

[bluerosestyle]

[he nods, then brings his hand close to yuuki's shoulder again]

Okay. You put your hand over your clothes, and say the words System Call. Generate Thermal Element. Adhere to Clothes. Discharge.

[the moment he says that last word, the small ball of red light that had formed while he was chanting disappear inside her clothes, spreading warmth]

This consumes spatial resources, so I just created one thermal element to demonstrate.

[sleeplessknight]

[paying close attention to the words]

That's... English?

[bluerosestyle]

English?

[sleeplessknight]

"System call"... something something?

[bluerosestyle]

Ah, that's the Sacred Tongue. It's the language used for Sacred Arts.

[sleeplessknight]

[orz why]

... I can probably remember it.

Can you say it again without using um... resources?

[bluerosestyle]

[chst. nods!]

It's System Call. Generate Thermal Element. Adhere to Clothes. Discharge.

[sleeplessknight]

[repeats after him, her pronunciation is a bit awkward, but:]

System Call. Generate Thermal Element. Adhere to Clothes. Discharge.

[bluerosestyle]

That's right. Make sure to picture the result as vividly as you can in your mind as you say it.

[sleeplessknight]

[nods as she keeps mumbling to herself, trying to memorize it]

System Call. Generate Thermal Element. Adhere to Clothes. Discharge. System Call. Generate Thermal Element. Adhere to Clothes. Discharge. System Call. Generate Thermal Element. Adhere to Clothes. Discharge. System Call. Generate Thermal Element. Adhere to Clothes. Discharge...
