Legendary Traveler: By Earning Progress Points I will Become Supreme!-Chapter 53: Post Upgrade Changes (2)

Freezing was the first thought Aoni had when he went from being comfortably warm to submerged entirely in snow, and the shock of such a situation was no different than having a jug of water dumped on your head.

Even so, he was only buried in the snowbank for a split second before his eyes snapped open, and the Lad jumped to his feet while emitting a roar.

"AHH TOO COLD!!!" Unaware of what was happening, it didn’t take the Lad long to take in his surroundings. He noticed his summon bouncing around happily as if she had made the biggest achievement of all time.

Like that, the pieces of the puzzle clicked into place, and he realized that the creature, not even an eighth of his size, had not only dragged him out of the cave, where he remembered being, but also hurled him into the snow, all while he was unconscious.

Yet, before he could even consider scolding Glacia, the horrendous stench emanating from his skin and clothing assaulted Aoni’s nose, making him pause and look down in embarrassment.

Although he was out of it for the better part of what happened after hearing the shattering glass sound in his head, the Lad was fully aware he had not only pissed his pants but also shit himself, and no matter how "Mature" he believed himself to be, it wasn’t like Aoni was shameless enough to ignore the fact that he had an accident.

But even if that was the case, it didn’t account for the entirety of the smell he was being assaulted by. Tasting more than smelling the coppery fragrance, the Lad caught wind of traces of blood, but also…Body odor, mixed with a fourth smell he couldn’t place.

That was when he noticed flakes of grey substance falling off his damp skin.

’BO, Blood, and…soiling, aside…what is this…’ using the index nail on his left hand, Aoni scratched off some of the grey substance from the back of his right hand and brought it closer to his face, only to flinch away the moment the substance’s foul smell hit his nostrils.

Shaking the flake of grey off his finger, Aoni looked over at his summon and noticed she was giving him an expecting look as if saying, "Well, get to it," and he was left speechless.

’I know I stink, but really, you throw me into a snowbank? Wait….when the hell was there a snow bank outside of the cave.’ Wearing a frown and shaking the loose snow off his body, the Lad’s eyes widened in shock as he noticed the distinct lack of deep snow in the surrounding area.

It was also then that he realized how far away from the mouth of the cave Glacia had dragged him in the first place.

"Uh…Glacia, did you clear all the snow away from the cave?"

"ooO?" In response to his question and watching the direction her Lord was pointing, Glacia turned and looked at Aoni, indicating she, too, was confused about what had happened to the snow.

Then again, it wasn’t like she could tell him in so many words about how hot it had become when he was having a breakthrough.

Still, seeing that she was just as confused as he was, Aoni wasn’t about to let something so substantial go, considering he had bits and pieces of memories that came in fragments due to the immense pain he experienced.

However, before he could fall into his habit of thinking too hard about things, Glacia’s Gaos and OoO’s while holding her nose made him understand just how bad he smelled, so one quick Snow bath later, in which he was forced to scrub and scrub his boxers in particular, Aoni was as clean as possible while walking back to the cave with his summon hot on his heels.

Unfortunately, no matter how clean he got nor how much of the stench he was able to remove from his body, the cave’s situation was a whole other story.

Upon stepping into the mouth of his home, the pair of Lord and Summon’s faces scrunched up as the same acrid smell that had been staining Aoni’s skin washed into their senses, causing the Lad and ball of fluff to stop where they stood.

"Uh, now what the heck am I supposed to do about this?" Aoni asked no one in particular.

"OoO," bobbing her head and taking a pensive stance much like her Lord likes to, Glacia responded cutely.

"Hey…what happened to the bed? " Raising an eyebrow, Aoni noticed a distinct stain all the way across the cave and looked down at Glacia for a moment before sighing.

’She’s just a baby; accidents happen,’ that was all the thought he put into the topic before going ahead and dragging out the sheet that covered the bed for cleaning.

Upon returning after finishing that action, Aoni was left stumped by the cave’s temperature. If the fire were burning, it would be one thing, but when he had looked into the fireplace, it was bare and only filled with ashes, indicating it had long since burned itself out.

Groowwllll

"ooo…gaoo…" From behind Aoni, Glacia, who had been patiently waiting for him to finish cleaning up after her accident in shame, could no longer contain the rumbles of her tummy and released a soft whimper of sorts while giving her Lord an adorable puppy eyes look.

"Yeah, I gotcha; I’m hungry too, Glacia; let’s cook something up, and then I gotta try and find a way to get rid of this smell."

Sometime later, the pair of Lord and Summon could be seen sitting outside of the cave, where the climate was still relatively warm, munching down one MRE after another.

It was strange for Aoni, considering even after the first MRE, he was still famished, so without worrying too much about wasting resources since it was a proven fact that Glacia could hunt small game, the Lad destroyed a total of 6 Meals. His ball of fluff wasn’t much different; she, too, ended up eating five MREs, which is a testament to just how famished she was.
