Crunch, crunch, crunch...
One tall and two short figures walked across the snow, leaving three sets of footprints on the pristine white ground.
The two children looked to be only five or six years old, and both had an adorable, delicate appearance.
"Father, where are we going?"
The man paused for a moment, then said in a hoarse voice:
"...We want to be heroes."
"A hero! I want to be one!"
The boy on the right became excited, jumping up and down and shaking his father's arm, then asked the child on the other side:
"What about you? Do you want to be one?"
Unlike the excited child, the other child, though looking exactly like his brother, had an uneasy expression, but still whispered under his brother's gaze:
"I... want to too."
"Hmm! That's great! Then we can be heroes together! Hmm... Father?"
The boy, who had been laughing and joking, suddenly paused, because he noticed that his father's gaze was so unfamiliar.
Father, you seem very sad?
"No, it's nothing, I just..."
Before the father, who had just come to his senses, could explain, a loud shout interrupted him.
"Jaslin!"
!
The two boys were startled by the sudden shout and instinctively shrank back, while their father, as if he had expected this, calmly looked ahead.
"I felt something was off yesterday, but I never expected you to actually do it!"
A short figure emerged from behind the broken wall, glaring angrily and demanding:
"Jaslin! Do you really understand what you're doing!?"
Limping forward, Habaron, leaning on his wooden cane, blocked Jaslin's path, raising his head to glare at her.
"I understand, I really understand..."
Holding a child's hand in each hand, Jasmine, with her beard, had a cold and hard expression, but her eyes were full of pain.
"You understand!? If you really understood, you wouldn't want these two kids to deliver it...tsk!"
Do you want your children to go and die?!
Habaron, who was about to roar, suddenly shut his mouth and forced a smile at Jaslin, who was holding the older child in her left hand.
It was a boy who looked timid, and at that moment he was shrinking behind his father in fear.
"Hahaha, don't be afraid! I'm just joking with your father!"
He chuckled twice, then glared at Jaslin and growled in a low voice:
"You come here right now."
But after looking at the two children again, Habaron had no choice but to give up. He said to the boy who was holding Jaslin's right hand:
"Ash, go take your brother Keynes to play for a while. Your father and I have something to talk about."
He patted his chest forcefully and winked at Ash, who was only slightly shorter than him:
"Don't worry, after we finish talking, Uncle Habaron will take you to have a snowball fight! He'll even sing you songs! I'm not lying!"
Unlike the timid Keynes, Ash showed no fear whatsoever. Upon hearing this, his eyes lit up, and he nodded vigorously.
"Um!"
But just as Ash broke free from his grasp and tried to leave, he remembered that he hadn't sneaked out this time, but had gone with his father...
"…………"
Ash blinked, then carefully placed his hand back into his father's palm.
"...You guys go have fun first, but don't go too far."
"Yay!"
!
With permission granted, Ash excitedly ran over, took his brother's hand, and headed straight for the nearby ruins.
They're not usually allowed to get close here, and he's wanted to come for a long time!
After the child left, the two adults fell silent.
"…………"
Only after the boys' voices faded into the distance did Habaron let out a dejected sigh:
"You know, that's not what they meant."
“Those guys are just suggesting a possibility; no one can guarantee its success.”
"Moreover! Even they are only using themselves as test subjects; they have no intention of using others to experiment!"
Habaron scratched his head in anguish and growled:
"It's true that Ash and the others have the talent to serve as vessels for gods, but alas! They are still too young to possibly contain them."

Do you know what you're doing?! You're killing them!
!
The snowflakes fell ceaselessly, but Jasmine, glared at angrily, remained unmoved. She simply spoke with equal anguish:
"But for now, isn't this the best approach?"
"Are you even listening to me?!"
Grabbing Jaslin's collar, Habaron roared:
"Please, I'm begging you, wake up, Jasmine!"
“You can still turn back now and take the children back! I'll pretend you were never here, and no one will blame you.”
Don't let yourself regret it!
!
*Smack*
Jaslin waved her hand, knocking Habaron's hand away.
"Regret? I've regretted it for a long time!"
"Do you think I want this?! They are my children!"
Her chapped lips moved slightly, and Jasmine swallowed hard, speaking slowly:
"We don't know why the Goddess of Ice and Plague fell here, but the fall of a god is the fall of a god... and the gods never care about us."
