The carriage progressed along the western highway, faintly lit by the morning sun, before finally parking at a carriage stop. The squad had split up to conduct their inspection, and they were on time for the rendezvous here, as everything appeared to be okay at the reservoir. By this point, they would likely have already begun ascending the rocky mountainside by horse and on foot, but today, Dahlia had a job to do first.

“Can everyone hear me?” Her father’s voice caster was very handy in this situation—she could turn up the volume on the tool and use it like a bullhorn. It was not as loud as a loudspeaker powered by multiple air crystals, but it was perfect for a small group of people. Furthermore, her deeper masculine voice carried better to everyone. Even with the voice caster and her menswear, the Beast Hunters recognized who she was. But because they did, quite a few of them seemed somewhat confused.

“Knights, take your portable warm air circulators!” The whole group tensed when Grato, the captain, bellowed. Even without a voice caster, his voice was loud and carried well. The Beast Hunters did as instructed, and they each took a circulator from a wooden crate.

“Begin by strapping this part to your back. However, not only can you use it on your back, you can also tie it to your waist and the back of your neck, so tighten the belt and affix it wherever you prefer. The temperature and the airflow each have three settings—use these two cords to adjust them, then be sure to wear something on top so they do not catch and become tangled on anything.” Dahlia had help from Volf, who stood next to her and demonstrated how to put on the circulator. “If the heating is insufficient, you can also wear another one on your front. However, be sure to adjust it to an appropriate setting to avoid low-temperature burns. Then—”

After going through it once, the other Beast Hunters began putting the portable warm air circulators on various parts of their bodies. With miniaturized mini-kotatsu now tied around themselves, the once-stalwart knights, too, had become “kotatsnails”—it pained Dahlia to restrain herself from bursting out laughing. Once they had their jackets on and tools activated, most of the Beast Hunters were riveted in place; their bodies thawed and their expressions melted.

“Oh, it’s so cozy...”

“It’s perfect how warm the air is...”

The knights’ oozing smiles were infectious.

A few of the knights must’ve set the fan speed too high, as the tickling had brought them to the ground laughing. Dahlia decided to let them figure things out on their own—she had instructed them twice to start at the lowest setting.

“This is very nice. Much better than the fire crystal—powered warmers that only get one spot hot.”

“The temperature’s perfect. I haven’t been this moved since the zephyricloth.”

“The cords could be a little thicker; these feel like they’d snap.”

“If they get caught on anything, it might actually be safer if they did snap.”

“We’ll have to be sure that nothing’s poking out of our clothes during combat.
