　Its body suddenly twists in mid-air.

　Thor, who had witnessed Mu's situation, turned his eyes back to the front and stopped moving involuntarily.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The surface of the water in front of him also stopped moving.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No, it was actually frozen.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thor's brain recognizes, with a delay of a breath, that this is the effect of the ice sheet that Yuril has released.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The original "ice sheet" is a magical technique that only lightly freezes the ground and makes one's footing unstable.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, Yuril's technique froze the entire surface of the river with such force that it blew away such recognition.

　Then, a blood-spattered fish that had been soaring in the sky falls.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The monster slams into the ice and rolls over with a silly sound.

　The fish glides across the frozen water and somehow comes right in front of Thor.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The fish is launched to the shore with such force that it hits the last frog, which had been asleep.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thor mercilessly swung his blade down on the face of the fish as it woke up and started to squeal.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He also inserted the tip of his sword into the gills of the fish, which was gaping at the mouth, and pierced through to the other side of the fish.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Having finished off all the monsters, Thor exhaled a small breath and turned his attention back to the surface of the river.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The ice had already broken into pieces and was being swallowed up by the current as if nothing had happened.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When he turns around, he sees the silver-haired beauty with her usual smile on her mouth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Ulille notices Thor's gaze and closes one of her eyes cutely, tilting her head.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Did I overdo it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, a little bit. No, thank you. Thank you very much.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then a bunch of disgusting men came running up to us, yelling.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh!　I've never seen anything like that!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What the hell was that?　Did the river freeze over?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Wow, that's amazing!　Mr. Yuril, that's really awesome!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The three men surrounding the woman, who was beaming with embarrassment, praised her.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, I'm really surprised. I thought that ice magic was much more subdued."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I was surprised, too. I was surprised, too.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hey, I think I can handle this, bro."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What's wrong with it?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What do you mean, you see--"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then, perhaps realizing that it was Thor who had joined the conversation, the three of them stopped talking and turned around at once.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You told me it was easy, but you didn't say it was dangerous.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yeah?　Around here, that's not dangerous at all.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hey!"

　The second son's response angered the eldest son, Roloff.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He suddenly punched him in the side.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm sorry. I didn't explain myself well enough. It's my fault for scaring the boy. I hope you can forgive me."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As the leader of the trio, he must understand the pain and responsibility of party members being injured.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The leader of the trio, Moe, who had been apologized to, seemed to be amused by the water, hugging Thor and rubbing his wet hair with a giggle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thor, who felt a little uneasy about this very frank attitude, voiced a question that he had been feeling for some time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......Is there a reason why you tested us?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yeah, I just wanted to make sure. A beautiful girl who uses mysterious magic. And she's got a little kid with her. She really is as they say.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, I'm a beautiful girl?　I'm so embarrassed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, at first I thought you were the pretty one."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yeah, I heard she was really pretty too, so I thought she was a little different."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ugh, I'll do my best to live up to your expectations."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, no!　You're still pretty enough. You can flaunt your chest."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Can we get back to that now?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At Thor's call, Roloff hurriedly returned to his serious face.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then he quietly asked a question.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Isn't that what they used to call you, the mud fisherman?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thor raised his eyebrows a little at the name, which he had missed a month or so ago.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yeah, that's right. That's my nickname."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The men exchanged a flurry of glances at the easily acknowledged response.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then they suddenly clashed their fists against each other and shouted with delight.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The three men suddenly bowed deeply to Thor and the others, who were surprised at what had happened.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Please, help us!　We could really use your mud-slinging skills."
