Chapter 240

After being rocked on the train for about half a day, they arrived at the remote snowy mountains of Snowren.

It's a land known as a mecca for snow mountain leisure, and since the town at the foot of the mountain also has hot springs, many tourists visit during the winter.

In fact, besides Clael's group, a fair number of other passengers also got off the train, raising voices of awe at the snow-covered scenery spreading outside.

"So this is the snowy mountain... It's amazing, Mr. Clael!"

Reina, who had gotten off the train, said in an excited voice as she took Clael's arm.

Bundled up in a winter coat, Reina's cheeks were flushed, likely due to the cold, and her breath came out white.

With her naturally pale skin and silver-white hair, seeing her standing in the snow felt like a winter fairy had descended.

"It snowed in Eggbell too... but I've never seen this much accumulation before!"

"That's right. It's been a while for me too."

Clael stepped into the snow with a crunch and spoke with deep emotion.

Unlike Reina, Clael retained memories of his previous life.

Although the place where Clael had lived wasn't exactly a snowy country, he had gone on ski trips with friends during his student days.

"It's been a long time since I skied. I hope I haven't lost my touch."

"Mr. Clael, you've skied before?"

"Yeah, well. Just a little bit."

"Is that so? Then, please teach me later, okay?"

"Of course. If it's something I'm capable of teaching."

Agreeing, Clael picked up his luggage and stepped outside the station.

Snow had piled up outside the station as well, but it had been shoveled, with snow pushed to both sides to clear a path.

The time was 3 p.m.

They had been on the train since morning and had finally arrived.

Though it was still too early to call it evening, it would likely be difficult to go skiing at this hour.

"For today, let's carry our luggage to the inn. You made a reservation, right?"

"Yes, I'll guide you."

Meily Ruby, Reina's friend, nodded.

"My relatives run an inn, so we'll be staying there. There's a hot spring too, so we can relax."

"That sounds great. Thank you for having us."

Meily was a noble and apparently came from a fairly wealthy family.

Even so, she didn't act snobby and had a cheerful, sociable personality, making her popular even among male students.

(She seems like the type to be popular, in a different way from Reina... If Reina is a flower on a high peak, then Meily is a flower blooming within reach. Of course, I don't mean that in a bad way.)

"Mr. Clael. I'll help with that luggage."

That was said by his colleague, Yurii Kanesta.

He... not she, also seemed like the type to be popular with men. Though only if you didn't know he was male.

"Wow, so much snow...!"

"The mountains over there are beautiful too, Lady Reina."

And then... two more female students, also friends of Reina.

Though he had no interaction with them outside of class, their names were, if he remembered correctly, Sharon and Vanessa.

They were both stunning girls, each with a different type, and had looks that drew the eyes of men.

(How should I put it... This is like I've become the protagonist of a dating sim. Traveling with four beautiful girls and a beautiful teacher... What kind of virtue did I accumulate in my past life to deserve this?)

If he had been a teenager, he might have been thrilled and excited by this situation.

But Clael, who was more jaded than boys his age due to his memories of a previous life, didn't feel particularly happy about it.

(Well, the students' safety comes first. They're excellent students, but... that's exactly why they might go overboard during a long break.)

Thinking that you don't need to watch over good students is just a teacher's indulgence and negligence.

No teenager going through puberty has a completely stable heart.

Even students who seem proper and excellent often harbor hidden anxiety or emotional turmoil.

(That's exactly why parents and teachers need to be dependable... Huh, maybe I'm finally settling into the role of a teacher.)

"There's a carriage stop over here, everyone, this way!"

While reflecting deeply on such thoughts, Clael followed Meily's lead, stepping firmly through the snow as he walked on.
