The mission was located at what basically amounted to a snow collection center. Though it wasn’t particularly large, snow from around the town was carried here to this relatively small plaza. In the middle of this park-sized plaza was an enormous furnace, and that was it.

I approached the man who seemed like he was in charge and showed him the request I’d received. “My name is Rudeus Greyrat. A pleasure.”

“You that famous Quagmire guy?” he asked.

“I don’t really know if I’m famous or not,” I said awkwardly.

“Well, then hurry up and get to it.”

Those weren’t the most helpful instructions. “Umm…may I ask what kind of work I’m supposed to be doing?”

“Ahh, so it’s your first time, eh? The work is simple. People haul snow in here, you use that scoop over there to pack it in toward the back. Basically, you’re packing the snow. We’ve got a route set up for accessing the magical implement, so don’t pile the snow on that. Once you got enough piled up, wait for the signal and activate that magical device over there. Even if your mana runs out, the snow’ll keep coming, so don’t just leave. You can keep helping us organize it.”

“All right, got it.” I still wasn’t quite sure what kind of job this was, but I knew what I was supposed to do, so there was no use point in thinking too hard. I just had to do it.

I was given a shovel by another staff member. Just as instructed, I began to transfer the haphazard piles of snow to the back of the plaza. Things would work better if people just dumped it there to begin with, I thought. Then again, there was the magical device in the center. Considering the problems that would arise if someone accidentally broke it or buried it in snow, maybe this was the best route after all.

Such were my absentminded thoughts as I worked. I exchanged a few words with the other adventurers working alongside me, and we shoveled the snow together, throwing it atop a drift that was about as tall as I was. There were other men packing atop the drift, as well. The wall we ultimately created was about three times my size.

The snow was heavy, but I had my well-trained right arm “Hulk” and left arm “Hercules.” They were crying out in joy at the sudden influx of delicious lactic acid. I focused my strength in my lower back, braced my legs and moved my arms, leaving the lifting to my muscles as I hauled the snow.

This is an impressive load; here we go, Hulk’s voice boomed as my elbow muscle bulged. If we must, Hercules seemed to reply in turn as my bicep drew back. The triceps on either arm felt like they were being ripped apart.

“You’ve got some strength for a magician,” one of the other workers commented.

“Even a magician has need for strength,” I said. “I’ve been working out.”

“Come on, a magician doesn’t need strength.”

My body warmed, and sweat began to pour from my upper body.
