I Became the Snow Woman I Made

46 – Snow and the Redeemer (2)

Kyoguk’s winter germinated a little late.

The thin snow embroidered the sky and froze the ground, but the believers could not help but feel the joy of returning to a peaceful daily life.

A place far from that joy.

In the inner chamber of the temple, Clavia hit the table in a rage.

Kwaaang-!

The tabletop was shattered and warped by superhuman strength that did not belong to humans.

For an instant, pure white bones were reflected on the back of the hand where the veins sprouted. Normally, I would be extremely agitated, but I couldn’t afford to worry now.

“Quillière…!”

I repeated the hateful name.

Invasion of Calamity. It was a very happy thing for her.

She said that He would give her salvation. What reason would she have?

Hana Salvation was frustrated.

It was entirely the fault of one person.

“It’s like during the proof ceremony… Everything gets in the way of me!”

He poured out an amazing high voice.

I have never been more grateful for the existence of a sound barrier than today.

Perhaps it was because she had let out her anger, Clavia’s reason returned a little.

She thought with a chilled brain.

“Even though he wasn’t in perfect condition, to defeat him…”

Just how strong is that body?

At that time, the Chilsa also remembered the conversation with Adain.

-Did you say he was an apostle of God?

-It could be… It might be more than that.

She thought it was an outrageous overestimation.

I thought it was an illusion.

But if that’s not the case…

Quaang-!

The noise rises once more.

The tabletop has completely lost its function.

Clavia frowned and bit her nails nervously.

“Now I’m one step closer to my secret wish…”

I have to pay for the sins of humans.

If Quilière is that person, then shouldn’t we hate them more than anyone else?

If that’s the case, then why are you protecting those lowly people?

“You have to get rid of it, you must…”

Her catastrophe was all of her own.

No matter what the opponent is, a hindrance cannot be spared.

I tried to find a way.

There was no hope through ordinary means.

The opponent who defeated him. However, that’s why now should have been the right time.

If he had achieved such an achievement, he would have used considerable power.

At this time, he has to pour everything.

“The dead.”

What suddenly came to my mind was my own authority.

It was time for the full moon to rise soon.

And there were many chess pieces.

This is because the grand precept prepared a long time ago to wake up the disaster has become useless.

I have been waiting with my breath for nothing to do.

The time has finally come to take it out.

I didn’t have any affection for this country anyway.

If he made the Abigyuhwan, the unclean grudges would help him recover…

“Before that.”

Clavia, who nodded, moved busily. She is the most important thing to herself.

She kept it in her boudoir because she wanted it to be safest near her, but if something goes wrong, this place will be dangerous too.

She moved it to the next ‘safe place’ she thought of.

‘Striburn’, a luxury inn outside the capital city.

We came here secretly. It was thanks to Cigna’s recommendation that it was a place where secrecy was assured.

There were still no people who came to visit me, as if her boasts were true.

The sound of Cigna and Nell’s conversation clearly echoed in the spacious and tidy room.

“Ugh… I just can’t do it…! This is an act that drains my energy even though it doesn’t hurt!”

Cigna hurriedly followed Nell and me as they left the street. Then, when she came to her senses, she had dug into the inn’s room.

Unlike her clenching her hands, Nell was proud with her arms crossed.

“How much does it take?”

I stabbed right to the core.

Cigna startled and moved her eyelids.

“Oh, how much…?”

“One wash.”

“·······.”

It was a strange conversation.

I moved my eyes slightly to the door.

I’m sure no one is listening.

“Do… Don’t think money can buy anything! How much will you pay!”

“Preemption.”

“Good…!”

Cigna’s pupils vibrated violently.

Even her pigtails were shaking, as if continuing her lifelong agony.

Then she shouted, spreading her hands out wide.

“Ten gold coins!”

“Are you crazy?”

Blinding her eyes, Lynn Nell immediately dismissed it.

Cigna shook her head sullenly.

“As expected, this can’t work…”

But she raised it again as if she knew it, and she resolutely folded her hand.

“Five gold coins for this! How about this? I cut it in half at once!”

A bargaining technique that dazzles the opponent by first offering a large price and then drastically lowering the price.

Her technique, which is effective regardless of age or age, unfolds in her.

However, she was too greedy.

Nell counterattacked without hesitation.

“Are you kidding me?

“Huh…!”

Cigna said as if chewing on her resentment.

“You’re doing too much! You’re trying to make ends meet!”

Her tears were welling up, and depending on the viewer, she might feel sympathy for her.

But it was too artificial in my opinion.

Nell’s eyes widened as if he felt that, and Cigna asked me.

“Don’t just watch, help! What do you think is a fair price, Mr. Quilly?”

“Hmm…”

She thought about her words.

Continental currencies were in order of copper, silver and gold.

My sense of money is strange because I earned a lot of money easily by selling jewelry, but gold coins are amazing.

If it’s the price of blood vampirism that only drains all the energy, but doesn’t have any problems with the body…

“The maximum is two gold coins. Actually, one is suitable.”

“Ugh…”

Cigna was disappointed with my firm words, and Nell muttered as she stared into the void.

“I think that’s a lot… Well, I like it.”

We managed to find a compromise between the two demands.

Now, only the decision was left, and there was a sense of spleen in the hall. Cigna, not avoiding her like before, closed her eyes and Nell strode forward.

And…

“Huh…!”

A series of processes unfolded.

I watched the scene through the slit of the hand that covered my eyes. It was quite interesting, as if stimulating something inside.

“Hey…!”

Nell, who used more than enough strength while being chased by Chandra Pale, needed treatment.

Jinjo’s recovery was directly through vampirism.

Since it was Cigna that just happened to follow me, I could see it as the perfect prey.

I’m sure it’ll be fine.

Unlike before, the sound insulation is clear.

Having had enough, Nell exhaled and wiped her mouth.

“Haa… I feel better now.”

I peeked at the floor.

A drooping Signa is lying around.

There was no movement, just like a corpse.

“······”

Does it really take away all your energy?

I can’t test this.

As soon as the noise disappeared, the room quickly became quiet. Nell hesitated and spoke to herself.

From noble mtl dot com

“…The blood is a bit thick.”

She glanced at me.

It was a strangely cautious attitude.

“Really?”

“Uh… Uh uh. Bad blood. hahahaha… Ha.”

It was a mechanical laugh for some reason.

She asked more questions that came to mind.

“What about good blood?”

“… Huh?”

Pure curiosity.

Nel thought seriously, rubbing her lips.

“Hmm. There are many varieties, but they are generally soft and fragrant, and go down your throat well.”

“I see.”

“Yeah… I can feel it just by looking at such a person.”

Like a sommelier, Nell suddenly looked at me.

She stared at my face… No further down.

What is it?

“·······.”

She gulped her, swallowed her saliva, put her behind her and I tinkered with the bag.

The costume I brought.

An item that will end the curse that has plagued Nell all his life.

Before giving this away, I wanted to ask you something.

After taking a few deep breaths, I opened my mouth.

“…Nel. Didn’t you miss your parents?”

Like me, she must have fallen into this world without knowing anything.

She said it because she knew how it felt.

Perhaps my words were quite unexpected, and Nell was startled.

“Uh, what?!”

I tilted my head.

Was it such a surprising question?

“Why do you ask that question?”

“Just. I’m curious.”

I answered her questions honestly.

I was genuinely curious and wanted to know.

What did she think of this, that she created, that she gave birth to herself.

“Ugh…”

Nell made a moaning noise and placed her hand near her collarbone. As the surprise subsided, her expression became very serious.

“…Well, there wasn’t really.”

Soon a small voice came out.

She met my eyes.

“Rather than yearning for it, I rather resented it… The target was God, not my parents.”

“God?”

“…Yes. I thought that the things I wandered about for no reason and the damn curse that entangled me were all the work of the gods.”

Her eyes twitched intricately.

It seemed like they were targeting me for some reason, so even though it couldn’t be, it was stinging.

Even if I’m not her god, I’m the one who made her that way.

I whispered an apology.

“It was like that. Is it still like that?”

Those were the words I threw without much hesitation.

Nell, who was worried enough to bite her lips to see if her memories were springing up, responded.

“…No.”

It was an unexpected answer.

“Aren’t you resentful now?”

“Yeah. When I couldn’t afford it, I was too full to hate it, but these days I think about it. God must have had something to do with it.”

“… Eh.”

I smiled bitterly.

There was a serious circumstance called concept quality.

When I was silent, Nell also shut her mouth. The quiet room had its own charm.

Nell said as if to ventilate the lukewarm air current.

“…But I’m the true ancestor, isn’t the true ancestor the king of vampires? Then my parents…”

She grinned, her fangs in full bloom.

“The fangs must be big, right?”

“… Ha.”

Her face was full of mischief.

I also laughed and took the clothes out of the bag.

Exclusive costume in dark red color.

Vampire suit.

Nell looked at it and blinked her eyes.

“If you wear this, the effect of the curse will disappear.”

“Really?”

As soon as he heard my words, a radiance wrapped around his blinking eyes.

I calmly continued.

“Yes. There is only one restriction. You have to keep wearing it for it to take effect. It will be inconvenient.”

“That’s nothing!”

She held out her hand as if rushing at it, and I handed over the garment without saying a word.

The moment they landed on her, their fingers grazed each other.

“Hey!”

Her costume fell off, and Nell shrugged her shoulders and let out a moan.

“…?”

A question mark appeared on the top of my head.

Why are you doing that all of a sudden?

Before he could even express his question, Nell moved quickly.

“No… No. Nothing.”

Catching her breath, she quickly retrieved her costume and looked at it.

I couldn’t see his expression because he was covered by his clothes.

I, who had bent my head on one side, returned to my original position and opened my mouth.

“Then try it on.”

“…Uh uh.”

Her hand nodded sternly and turned to her own tattered clothes.

She raised her hand reflexively as if she was about to take it off.

“Wait.”

Nel stopped.

Round eyes looked at me.

“Why?”

A naive question.

Oops.

I came to a realization at the question without any delusion.

The current me was Quilière.

Isn’t it really a problem for people of the same s*x to change clothes in front of them?

“Quillière.”

The beauty of Nell reciting my name was clearly beautiful.

It was natural since I put so much effort into it, but for some reason I was breaking out in a cold sweat.

My conscience was very stabbed to stay like this, so I jumped up. And said

“I’ll be out.”

“Huh?…Uh.”

Leaving Nell tilting her head, I left the room.

The first floor of Stribon was spacious and splendid, as befits a high-end inn. Unlike other establishments, the areas were neatly divided.

I couldn’t look around when I was in a hurry.

I tried to take a closer look, but I had no choice but to hide behind a screen.

“We are looking for someone. Please cooperate.”

It was because of the uninvited guest.

The knight in light armor asked for an employee’s understanding. It was a woman named Rune who had responded to us earlier.

“What to wear…”

The explanation of the article continued.

Anyone could see that they were looking for me.

It’s only natural that the performance is the performance, and I came here because I knew it would be the case.

Rune covered her cheeks as if in deep thought, then shook her head.

“I don’t know. You’ve never been to our inn before.”

“Ah… I see. Thank you for your cooperation.”

The knight was fooled by the high-quality, natural acting.

He left the inn muttering something like ‘Isn’t this here too?’.

“… Haa.”

I sighed and leaned back in my chair.

I didn’t want to get caught.

Of course, I don’t like that all the attention is focused on it, but it was more of a problem because it was a catastrophe.

If you get promoted as a real saint without luck, you might end up being pushed into a landfill.

Rune, who sprinkled salt on her front door, came lightly to my table.

“I sent it back, saintess!”

“·······.”

She was already being treated as a saint.

I thought it was really fortunate that I didn’t get caught.

“It’s a secret.”

“Huhhhhh”

“By the way, are you okay? I might be disadvantaged for cheating on the Knights.”

Striburn’s secret was something that only those in the know knew.

It is said that both employees and customers protect each other’s information.

But will the Knights acknowledge that?

I expressed concern, but Rune just smiled.

“Didn’t the saint defeat the calamity?”

“…For now.”

“Disaster is everyone’s enemy! You’ve done such a great job, so if you want to keep it a secret, of course you have to keep it. You’re not guilty.”

“It’s not like that.”

He nodded his head because he said the phrases were correct.

Then she asked.

“Then do you keep anyone’s secret here? For example, if you follow the catastrophe.”

“Following disaster… Is that the opposite version of the saintess?”

It was a question raised by the Dark Saints Association.

Rune smiled as if he was thinking over my words.

Then he distorted her face.

“How can we do that when we have religious beliefs! Don’t worry, we’ll catch those scumbags before they can accuse them, tear them limb from limb and throw them as dog food!”

After pouring it out like a shotgun, I put on a smile again.

I felt like I saw my true intentions for a moment, so I became afraid of Kyoguk all over again.

Is this the average of native Koreans?

I had no choice but to answer awkwardly.

“… That’s cool.”

“Isn’t it?”

The conversation is over.

I ordered several glasses of wit ale to quench my thirst.

Rune listened brightly and moved his feet.

“Wait a minute!”

“Money?”

I’ll let you know how much it is.

But she only turned her head and said softly.

“It’s free. How can I get money from the saintess?”

And she went away.

I muttered as I stared blankly into the void.

“The service is good…”

Serving me a few drinks. It wasn’t even a job.

My order was processed and a whit ale was placed on my table.

I looked at it quietly and drank it lightly.

“·······.”

After a while, several empty glasses piled up.

However, there was not even a trace of drunkenness.

Maybe it’s because it’s a snow woman, so it’s all going to disintegrate… It was a pity.

As I was bitterly biting my lip, I heard a voice from the other side.

“I’m glad the Black Calamity incident ended well.”

Looking there, I saw two men who looked like adventurers.

Said a large man with scars on his face, with wine and meat spread out on the table.

“I thought I would die without moving even when my grudge soared and the monsters rampaged.”

“Glact, you are an adventurer with a gold plate, but do you give up so easily?”

“Giving up. It’s a conclusion based on experience and knowledge.”

The man called Glect laughed heartily.

The other person shrugged his shoulders, and he spoke cheerfully.

“Anyway, the sky didn’t abandon me.”

Followed by a hot drink and bang! Put it down

“Now I just don’t have to face the Sword Demon!”

It’s a sword demon.

What else is that?

As if he was already drunk, Glact was talking nonstop.

“It’s kind of like a refuge car, but I don’t know if it’ll be good to go back to Chelmsford soon.

“hahahaha, is that okay again?”

“I came here because it wasn’t okay, but I heard it got better. It’s a natural thing to do, since the catastrophe threw out its backside and ran away.”

The name he recited tickled my ears.

“…Chelmsford.”

Chelmsford, the Holy Land, was the nucleus of the religious state, equivalent to the capital of other countries.

The sanctuary where the saints were buried as well as the Daeshinjeon, which supervised the country’s great and small affairs, were located there.

Numerous fetishes and holy relics are also kept here.

While I was thinking about twisting my hair, my voice continued.

“Well, for the time being, the Kingdom will be noisy. Whether it’s Disdel, which drove out the disaster, or Holy Land, including Chelmsford, there will be a lot of uproar, so I guess it’s the same everywhere.”

“Still, I think we should be more considerate at times like this. Many people are acting as if they have forgotten the notoriety of the disaster. It will be a big deal if it comes back.”

“Huh. Even if you worry too much, it’s a problem. And even if he comes back…”

After a while, Glact took a big bite into the meat and shouted.

“What does it matter! There is a savior who defeated calamity in the Kingdom of Religion!”

“·······.”

I inadvertently covered my face with my bangs.

The texture of hair full of luster. Other than being blind, it was of no use.

“Everyone calls the savior a saint because he is so grandiose and holy, but in my eyes, an adventurer with a gold plate, it’s different! No matter how saintly he is, how can he overcome disaster?”

I shook my head and moved to a more corner seat. They also knew the rules of the inn, but there was nothing good about standing out.

Pretending to be Taeyeon, he raised his glass, and Glact laughed noisily at what he liked so much.

“The person in question has disappeared, but the flame inside me whispers. If the continent is in danger, he will reappear…”

“Oh.”

The loud noise kept scratching my nerves.

Let’s just turn it off.

In order to cool the head, cold air was brought in and added to alcohol.

The ale was frozen in an instant, and thin ice floated around. I nodded.

“This is fine.”

It’s really a snow woman’s ability to use.

He let out a shallow sigh and sipped his glass.

Right after that, I remembered something I had forgotten and stopped my hand.

“·······.”

It’s nice to have it cold, but I didn’t feel the cold.
