In doing so, permanent frozen soil peeled off more and more from Satan's epidermis.
Satan slowly, but gradually got used to his body larger due to the increased range of motion.
That was still unusual, and Gaius opened his mouth wide with Pocan, as the giant waxed.
"... I knew it would work..."
Gaius shrugged bosomly.
Carla also nodded, agreeing.
"... right. It's still different when it moves..."
"That's right - I didn't know I could do it. It was based on the premise that I couldn't move in the ice, so I wasn't very scared... but I knew this would happen a little..."
"You said you weren't scared until just now? You, weren't you pretty freaked out at first?
"What? Am I right? Was I?"
"Oh, I'm getting more and more familiar along the way, though?
"... Am I right? ……
"Well, it's kind of like you always do, isn't it?
"Oh, yeah?...... while you say it, are you going to get mad that maybe you're not getting on with it again?
"Right. That's what happens when you stay on track, but now you realize it yourself, don't you?
"No, well, I also had some learning features attached..."
Carla told me that when Gaius looked forward again, the ice covering Satan's epidermis was no longer only around his ankle.
"... really..."
Then here Satan opened his mouth, previously dedicated to getting used to his body silently and quietly.
"… peculiarities. Thanks to you, I haven't been able to gain physical freedom in a long time. Thank you..."
Satan said emotionally.
Gaius shrugged his shoulders gently.
"... and even if you thank me... I don't really feel like I've done anything."
"Still, I don't mind. I was able to move this way, obviously because of you."
"Well, I guess so..."
Then even the permanent frozen soil, which had finally covered Satan's ankle, was scattered.
Satan looked up at the ceiling once emotionally with a grin.
Then as he slowly turned his gaze down, he shook up his right leg, which had been growing roots on the ground for a long time.
Then the next time he slowly shook up his left leg and confirmed that he had earned complete freedom, Satan looked up to heaven again smiling satisfactorily and muttered quietly.
"... I didn't know this day was coming anymore... it had been a long time. I don't even like to count..."
