Book 5 Author’s Note
I always try to write an author’s note. If you’ve read my other stuff, you know that. Sometimes, the point of the note is to tell you what I was thinking when I wrote the book, to give you some insight into how I see the story and what I think it means. I know the death of the author is a thing, but I think it still helps to know where a writer was coming from, even if you disagree on where they ended up.And I suspect that at least some of you, even if you like how this series ended, can imagine other endings that would have suited you bett...
Chapter 248: Epilogue
“So what do you think?” The old man from between places sipped his tea. He was a different sort of thing from the System, which meant he didn’t have to do centuries of study to understand tea in order to drink it in a way that made sense for him. He wasn’t entirely physical, but that was a matter of proportions compared to the amount of non-physical he was. There was plenty of both forms of existence to go around and more than enough to enjoy a nice hot drink from time to time. “Pretty good job, right?”“Oh, yes. I like both of the...
Chapter 247: Sam
Posting last two chapters and author's note here to bring it up to speed with snowingpineNew fiction is in the making! (Very soon to be posted on the website)---Read "Chapter 248: Epilogue" on Snowing Pine---Arthur went around the corner to someone else’s food shop, explained to that he was stealing both their kitchen and any spare tea they had around, and brewed a pot of what might have been the worst tea he ever made.He would have liked to think the majicka made up for it, but even that was questionable.Tea of Expelling a Child ...
Chapter 246: Figure Out the Happy Thing
This is the second chapter of the dayChapter 2 / 2---Read "Chapter 247: Sam" on Snowing Pine---It turned out Euth could do quite a lot. This dungeon’s rat-tier enemies were scaly insect-like things that gave Arthur the creeps. They spawned inside a central pit in the ground that was supposed to act like a nest, then scurried out to attack. Arthur kept well back while Onna took the kid up the edge of the danger zone.“So the big thing to keep in mind here is that you can probably handle the pace of these things so long as you let them...
Chapter 245: Demons
This is the first chapter of two since I couldn't make it for Wednesday and FridayChapter 1 / 2---Read "Chapter 246: Figure Out the Happy Thing" on Snowing Pine---The nearest sandwich shop wasn’t Arthur’s favorite, but it was good enough. He ordered a couple things, resigning himself to the idea that he probably wasn’t going to have a standard dinner in the normal family way that evening. He let Euth make his own order, hoping he’d get some more useful data out of the kid that way. He didn’t.“Sandwich,” Euth said. “H...
Chapter 244: Euth
---Read "Chapter 245: Demons" on Snowing Pine---“Okay. This first roll is stuff I got off bushes. Nothing super strong in terms of scavenger-sense, but we’ve sort of figured out it doesn’t work so well for tea anyway. Most of it is stuff I could source a lot of,” Tryce said.“Got it.” Arthur hovered his hand over the ingredients. He didn’t need to do it for Food Scientistto kick in, but he found it helped him visualize what was happening a little better. After a few moments, he pulled his hand back. “None of these are tea...
Chapter 243: Nieces and Nephews
---Read "Chapter 244: Euth" on Snowing Pine---The three of them walked to a nearby stand and bought the kind of stir-fry-over-noodles dish that was so popular almost everywhere. Nobody ever messed it up, although some people were definitively better at making it than others. This stand was one of the good ones.“So what does Spiky want this time?” Rhodia asked. “And why am I the only person in the world great enough to do it?”“He wants glass. Lots of glass.” Arthur reached into his pack and pulled out a small piece of paper, ...
Chapter 242: Some Years Later
---Read "Chapter 243: Nieces and Nephews" on Snowing Pine---Some years later…A garden, Arthur had found, was a series of sufferings leading to different kinds of success. The early part was pain in the most literal of senses. It combined the bumps and bruises of manual labor with most-used-surface general-applicability blisters of shovel work. It hurt while he did it, kept hurting for at least a while once he was done, and then led into another kind of pain before a single benefit was seen.Once the seeds were scattered, the next kind ...
Chapter 241: Homecoming
---Read "Chapter 242: Some Years Later" on Snowing Pine---Mizu demanded Arthur put off telling anyone what they had decided until later, mostly so she could sneak away to look at yet another well before their decision brought more madness into their lives. By the time the night was done, Arthur was glad she had made that decision. It had been a long, long day. Holding on to a warm secret for a bit was a small price to pay to give for its own day.Of course, as always, the system had other plans. After the first few minutes of the long wa...
Chapter 240: Ceremony
---Read "Chapter 241: Homecoming" on Snowing Pine---“And what are you telling my poor almost husband?” Jumie appeared behind them, scowling. “I only caught a bit of that nonsense.”“Oh, just that…” Arthur suddenly realized he didn’t really want to let the lioness in on the details. “Just that he shouldn’t rock the boat very much. On your relationship. At first. Just to be safe.”“Oh, that’s nonsense.” Jumie waved her hand. “You do whatever you want, Eito. Forever. I’m sure I’ll love it. You ready for the ...
Chapter 239: Change
---Read "Chapter 240: Ceremony" on Snowing Pine---“Wait, what? Married?” Arthur yelled for a split second before he managed to get his voice back under control. “Does anyone else know?”“No. We were coming here to find Itela, and see if she could get us some reasonably dignified space.” Eito motioned out over the most historical of the surviving sites of Demon World antiquity. “Which you seem to have covered.”“I guess, yeah. It’s so sudden, though. What brought this on?”Jumie looked at Arthur, smiling ear to ear. ...
Chapter 238: Marriage
---Read "Chapter 239: Change" on Snowing Pine---“Should we do a party?” Lily looked up questioningly not at Arthur, who was fully engulfed in a too-tight Mizu hug, but at Milo, who was patiently waiting for his turn to bruise Arthur’s shoulders by squeezing them even more.“Party,” Milo said, and nodded. “I can do food. I’m not good at the other parts, though. Are we thinking just back at the hotel?”“I guess we could,” Lily said, Still hanging off Arthur’s leg like a round, feathered lamprey. “Although there’s o...
Chapter 237: Be Happy
---Read "Chapter 238: Marriage" on Snowing Pine---Somewhere very far away but not that far at all, the System watched as the knot she had spent so much time loosening finally started untying itself, one convolution at a time. It wouldn’t be untied overnight, of course. But it would be untangled sooner than Arthur could have imagined, she was sure. He was on track. Sooner or later, that rope would be available to re-tie in ways he chose.—“Why does Arthur look stupid?” Lily asked when Arthur walked back. “He’s all happy-woozy....
Chapter 236: Little Piece
Author's Note:The second chapter of the day! If you see this first please go back one~(Chapter 2 / 2)---Read "Chapter 237: Be Happy" on Snowing Pine---This was the moment. The really important one. The system could feel the majicka in both of them churning, and there was no part of that turbulence that she could claim she caused. They were both knots now. The bad kind.She could have helped them avoid this, maybe by gently nudging them away. But she hadn’t. It was a hard thing, but deep down the system could feel it was necessary, ...
Chapter 235: Knots
Author's Note:Hey guys! Sorry I couldn't make it on Monday. Today will be a double chapter day so that you get your missing chapter!Expect the next chapter in a few minutes.(Chapter 1 / 2)---Read "Chapter 236: Little Piece" on Snowing Pine---“I’m asking the wrong person.” Mizu turned to Milo. “Have you managed to explain to Arthur why what he did was wrong?”It was a pivotal moment, as post-catapult moments went. If Milo revealed Arthur had forgotten about the issue entirely and hadn’t thought about things at all, Art...
Chapter 234: Memories
---Read "Chapter 235: Knots" on Snowing Pine---“A talk?” Mizu asked. “Right now?”“Yeah,” Arthur said sheepishly.“While you are in a catapult.”“I’m ona catapult.” The conversation seemed to be getting sideways on Arthur already, and his attempt to claw back some control of the wildly spinning talk got him the fishy look from Mizu it deserved. “But yeah. A talk.”“An important talk?” Mizu asked.“I’d say so,” Arthur said.“On or in a catapult.”“Yes.” Arthur smiled. “It seemed like the time.”Miz...
Chapter 233: Tea Rush
---Read "Chapter 234: Memories"onSnowing Pine!---“What’s this, again?” A young metal elemental watched the boba pearls suspiciously. “Are these eyeballs?”“They’re more like gelatin. Kind of.” Arthur threw some in a glass, tossed some of the tea he had brewed in, doused it with a bit of sweetberry syrup, and iced it before adding cream. “Here. Try it. Tell your friends.”The girl elemental took it, shrugged, and drank. Her eyes went wide as she started chewing on the first pearl that made it through her straw. “This ...
Chapter 232: Catapult
---Read "Chapter 233: Tea Rush" on Snowing Pine---“If it were me and I couldn’t be where I wanted, I’d probably choose Skal’s middle-ground town, wherever it ends up being,” Karbo said.Karbo lifted up another huge rock out of the quarry. He wasn’t exactly Arthur’s first choice for advice, but Karbo had wisdom in his simplicity. He tended to deal with most problems by punching them and trusted ones that he couldn’t solve by punching or throwing to resolve themsevles. He was nice and cared about whether or not Arthur ended...
Chapter 231: Two?
---Read "Chapter 232: Catapult"onSnowing Pine!---“How?” Pomm pushed out with his paw, nudging Corbin. “You are real. How did you hide from me?”“That’s a good question,” Neppo said. “He shouldn’t have been able to hide from us, but definitely not Pomm.”“I guess I have my answer about whether or not you all read my preparation documents,” Jaiko said. “The boy is very good. Perhaps not the best, but it’s at least debatable. Now, Corbin, I’m going to ask you to leave. This is someone else’s business. I promis...
Chapter 230: The Perfect Job
---Read "Chapter 231: Two?"onSnowing Pine!---“It’s so much less… intimidating,” Arthur said on the morning of the second council meeting. “Even though I know this is the more important day.”“Any idea why?” Milo asked, leaning back in his chair. “Because if we can figure it out what calms Arthur down, we can probably bottle it. Use it for emergencies when you see a very concerning flower, or something.”Arthur, Milo, and Mizu had arrived at the city center about an hour before any of them needed to be there. Milo and M...
