47 – Snow and the Redeemer (3)

Winter with a gentle snowfall.

Compared to the northern part of the country, the empire is warmer, but that is why the people are not accustomed to the cold.

People wrapped up their clothes, vomited white breath, and visited the Buddha.

However, there was a man wearing only one shirt and wielding a sword. The noble and noble prince, Artan Pricus.

He was concentrating on training at the Taejagung training ground.

Cheack-! Sheng!

A sword that cuts through the air.

It seems that he doesn’t know the current weather with his constantness without the slightest trembling.

That wasn’t entirely wrong.

“This is just about it…”

The climate in the middle of the continent was nothing to him who had experienced the snowy fields.

Rather, it was lacking.

That’s why he deliberately chose the outdoor training ground.

Cold eyes fell, but he swung his sword in a sweat.

Then he remembered a woman.

“···Consolidate internal stability.”

From noble mtl dot com

Her words were stuck in my heart like a thorn.

All the words were precious, and I couldn’t forget them.

The advice he gave while saving himself from dying in the snowy field. Perhaps he meant that he needed to grow further.

That was right.

“To face her with her.”

At the current level, it was not enough.

I realized that through the ordeal of that day.

She is a being who lives in the snowy fields.

How can I stay by your side when you can barely stand the cold?

He was arrogant, self-righteous, and stubborn.

Because of the emotions accumulated over a long time, he lost control and committed a shameful act.

I remembered her cold expression and the way she treated me like a push, and I gnashed my teeth.

How pitiful he must have looked at himself.

She was resentful of herself that day.

“… You pathetic bastard!”

I sighed and delivered the final blow.

The wooden training doll fell in two pieces. It was a neat cut.

“You have to become stronger.”

I lowered my sword and made another promise.

And I remembered her beauty and a name as beautiful as her appearance.

“Quillière…”

She used to think she was just a mysterious person.

Since she was a child, her appearance, attitude, beauty, and magic all came to her mysteriously.

So, at some point she had it in her mind.

However, he was not human.

It was an existence of a much higher dimension beyond the level that it is not.

But it’s already too late.

I have come too far to give up.

So she had to cut herself even more severely.

Because she also said that she used to place expectations on herself.

“As expected!”

I turned my head to the sound of applause and cheers.

While the guards were exclaiming, Lieutenant Hill Oz approached and said.

“You are truly talented. I knew it well, but I admired it again today.”

“It’s flattering.”

I wouldn’t know if it was when I was immature, but now these kinds of compliments were not inspiring.

Hill Oz, who had been looking at him proudly, suddenly expressed concern.

“Hey, aren’t you overdoing it? You’ve been working hard lately without a break.”

“Nothing to worry about.”

Certainly, after going to the Devil’s Nest, I repeated intense training, but it was necessary.

She also did it because she wanted to.

Even so, when he tried to continue nagging, Artan cut it off.

“Stop it. Hold the sword instead.”

“Yes?”

And demanded.

Hill Oz asked back at the sudden remark.

“Are you talking about swordsmanship instruction?”

“It’s not a map. It’s a couple.”

Artan shrugged his shoulders and untied his hands.

My thirst has not yet been quenched. Instead of a wooden doll like this, they needed a skilled person.

Hana Hill Oz expressed disapproval.

“Sweetheartedly. As someone who has to protect Your Highness, you can’t harm the body.”

“Are you saying this because it can cause harm? Don’t do it, do as you please.”

“I can’t help it if you really want to…”

Hesitantly, he grabbed his sword and stood at the training ground.

At that awkward behavior, the prince clicked his tongue in displeasure.

“… It’s done. Cancel.”

Come to think of it, there was no way the Royal Guard could properly engage in Dalian.

Serve yourself with utmost care in all four seasons, and that habit is ingrained in your body.

It was not suitable for Dalian opponents.

Artan narrowed his forehead and remembered Quilière’s confidant.

“The Frost Giant.”

Even thinking about it again, it was a scary existence.

He’s being protected by that kind of person, so how can someone like him get offended?

It didn’t work against mediocre opponents.

He is a much stronger man than he is now, but he has no mercy in his hands.

I needed lessons from someone like that.

Normally, such a person would not be close.

However, as I pondered a little deeper… Unexpectedly, one person came to mind.

“The sword master.”

The undisputed hero of the empire.

I’ll have to ask him for help.

A few minutes to savor the taste of an ale I don’t know how to call lukewarm.

The two adventurers left, and I went upstairs too.

It was a good time as we had solidified our policy of going quietly for the time being.

Knock Knock- Knocked in front of the room and the answer came right away.

“Come in.”

Nell’s voice.

With permission, she opened the door without delay.

My eyes widened slightly the moment the scene in the room unfolded.

“···!”

Nel was in the middle of the room.

However, the appearance was different from usual.

Dark red clothes, just like authentic vampires from classic movies.

The neat yet lofty outfit and her crimson hair fit like a puzzle.

Nell looked at the ‘vampire suit’ and asked a little shyly.

“How is it…?”

It was a question with a bit of fear.

No matter what she looked like, the only thing that came back was criticism.

I answered clearly without embellishment.

“It suits you well.”

“!”

Both me and her were startled.

For some reason, all the compliments go out.

It wasn’t a bad thing though.

“Gee, really? ···Thank you.”

Nell had a very happy expression.

That’s enough.

I said with my arms crossed.

“How do you feel?”

“Umm…”

I asked because it would be difficult if it was too intrusive.

She looked around at her clothes and finally stirred her sleeves and laughed.

“Good. Surprisingly cool. It’s not uncomfortable.”

“Yes.”

Since it’s a costume, is it equipped with user correction?

I nodded and glanced outside.

“Then let’s go.”

“Huh?”

“I’ll have to check. Is the curse gone?”

“… Ah!”

Nell, who was tilting his head, agreed.

“That’s right. That’s how it should be… Huh? Wait.”

Then he tilted his head again.

She looked at Cigna as she broke the board on her floor.

“You can’t do it because the curse doesn’t work from the start, but wouldn’t it be okay to just test it on him?”

“You’re sleeping.”

“Just wake me up.”

“…Mmm.”

It wouldn’t matter if the only purpose was to confirm her, but I wanted her to step out into her world.

Thanks to the changed reactions, I hope that the walls around us will at least come down.

So let’s get it out.

I picked up my bag and pulled out her purse and shook it.

“If possible, meet as many people as you can. Buy what you want.”

“Money… The sound of money…!”

However, Cigna reacted before Nel did.

Her corpse stretched out. She jumped up and she looked at her purse.

“Bar, you just told me to buy what you want to buy, right? Didn’t I hear that wrong?”

“·······.”

I’m sure I was exhausted right up until just before that.

Her whole body was full of energy now.

Is this the power of capitalism?

I nodded coolly and nodded outside.

“Follow me.”

·······.

After a while, we gathered in the corner of the main street.

I looked up at the sky and pulled the end of the hood of my robe. It was the robe she bought for Nel.

Because now I stand out too much.

Thin snowflakes landed on my eyelids.

I stole it with my finger and asked Nell.

“How was it?”

How do you feel about your first shopping experience after the curse disappears?

She stayed still as if choosing her words, then she responded.

“It wasn’t much. More than I thought.”

It was a tone that seemed to contain either a feeling of desolation or a sense of relief, or both.

“Yes.”

“Yeah… In the past, wherever I went and whoever I met, I frowned, but nothing like that at all. Rather, everyone was friendly. I was a little surprised.”

It is only natural that he is a customer who spends money.

He went with a bag of gold coins.

Her eyes twinkled with remorse.

“How could the treatment change without a single curse…”

“From now on, this will become natural.”

At my words, Nell’s pupils turned to me.

Her eyes drew an arc.

“I think so.”

“Yes.”

It was a more relaxed atmosphere.

Just then, a lively voice pierced my ears.

“This is the grace of the saintess…! I wanted to buy all of these things… I’m rich now!”

It was Cigna’s delighted exclamation.

With several sets of clothes in her hands, she had a smile on her face.

It seemed that they were swept away thinking that it was free.

I sneakily opened the money bag.

I was worried, but surprisingly it didn’t decrease much.

Is this the power of gold coins?

“Let’s go to the general store next time!”

Cigna shouted.

His eyes were clear as if he still had many things he wanted to buy.

It doesn’t matter that I want Nell to have more diverse experiences.

“I wonder…”

Unexpectedly, Nell readily agreed.

We walked again and mingled with the fussing crowd.

The streets were peaceful.

Could that carelessness be the problem?

An unexpected gale swept the hem of my hood.

“Oops…!”

My signature bluish-white hair was disheveled, and my face was exposed.

We responded immediately.

After hurriedly picking things up, he secretly strangled her breasts.

I’m sure no one has seen it.

Probably.

Because I managed to solve it at the speed of seconds…

“…You!”

But I guess it wasn’t.

A man carrying a bag was shocked to see me.

“The saintess who defeated the calamity at that time…!”

“Oops.”

Is it the person who was at the scene?

My heart skipped a beat.

How to do it. If you let them go back like this and accuse them…

“… Huh?”

I blinked blankly.

No. The man who had just been there had disappeared.

He disappeared after looking away for a moment.

“What is it?”

Did you see the futility?

Maybe it was.

Because normal humans can’t move this fast.

“Quillière.”

“Mr. Quilly!”

Nel and Cigna called me from the front.

They were waving their hands as if they hadn’t seen anything. I stepped out with a puzzled feeling.

“Welcome!”

Soon after arriving at the general store, I sneaked back.

As Nell proudly took out the gold coin, the sheep’s owner’s tongue slipped, as if oiled.

“Three women! Wow, they are all so beautiful. The dull interior of the store is becoming bright like a flower garden…”

“·······.”

I glared at him stupidly.

You can’t even see my face well, but what?

The two excitedly looked around the store—mainly Cigna.

Having nothing to buy, I watched from the back.

Then I felt a stinging gaze.

No way.

“…You!”

An exclamation burst out from a distance as if the ominousness was not wrong.

My eyes widened as I looked back.

It was someone I knew.

“Aren’t you a saint!”

Bleper, leader of the Holy Knights.

He had his eyes wide open and his mouth open.

“Where have you been all this time? We’ve been looking for you hard enough—”

“Shh.”

I put my index finger to the corner of my mouth.

Why don’t you advertise that you are very here.

When I gave him a cool look, his mouth was tightly shut.

“Don’t care. Don’t look for me.”

“…But the saintess is essential to our church country—”

“Shh. If you’re not going to buy anything, get out.”

With a cold tone, he stepped back in embarrassment. This delusion itself is fine.

It would have been nice if it was an interest without responsibility.

“Mr. Quilly! You’ve waited a long time. I bought them all.”

“I can’t see anything.”

“If that’s the case, it’s all here!”

Cigna knocked on the bag she was wearing.

You made up your mind to spread it.

She took her purse back from her, and this time I was nervous.

By the way.

“…A lot.”

After all, gold coins are amazing.

Nel followed suit and we left the store.

As soon as I got out, I looked around, but I didn’t see Blepper.

Will he really keep the secret?

To be honest, I was dubious about it, but it was unavoidable.

I spat out.

“Let’s finish the next place last.”

Money wasn’t the problem, but nothing good was going to happen as I wandered around until the end of the day.

The two nodded innocently.

“Let’s go to the restaurant for the last time!”

Suddenly, Cigna said.

“Restaurant?”

“Yes, yes. I know good places. Compared to its popularity, it’s a great place in many ways! It’s good value for money.”

From noble mtl dot com

For some reason, the final words gave me strength.

It’s a restaurant. It might take a while, but it wasn’t bad to decorate the end.

Even if you’re a snow woman who doesn’t need to eat, it’s not like you can’t eat.

It will be a change of mood.

“Guide me.”

“Yes!”

She actively took the lead.

Perhaps because he was a veteran adventurer, he seemed quite bright about the city’s circumstances.

I also walked while observing the surroundings to get a general idea of where and what was.

“Quillière.”

“Yes.”

At one point, Nell spoke to her, so she turned around.

She was looking the other way around with her head bent.

“Thank you. ···Let me know if you have any favors.”

I couldn’t see his face, but his voice was serious.

When I smiled, Cigna pointed at her.

“I’m here! There you go.”

I watched the sign she pointed to.

‘Wandering Island’.

It was a restaurant with a unique name.

Her hurriedness made her pace quicker to follow her.

Then, the moment she passed an alley, she felt alive and aroused her magic.

I looked back at her with her hand raised in the chill.

It just stopped.

“······Wow.”

The alley was dark.

There was only darkness.

There was no sign of life anywhere.

Was it because of my mood?

“Has my energy been weakened…”

He let out a deep sigh.

I wonder if even the snow woman should be fed in moderation. Then she was better off.

Following Cigna, who took the lead, they entered the Wandering Island.

A fragrant smell emanated from the neat interior, and it was shining brightly.

Just as I was thinking that the evaluation was good, an employee came out to meet me.

“Hello!”

She glanced at us quickly with her expert eyes and smiled.

“There are three of you. Follow me this way.”

This place didn’t seem like a place where you could sit at your own pace. She followed her to her corner seat.

The moment I thought I was lucky because it was in an inconspicuous place, I heard a voice.

“Mister. I heard from an older sister I know, and she says this place is really delicious.”

“I see.”

It was a strangely familiar voice.

An ominous feeling crept up on his back.

“Then take off your helmet. Where is the person covering their face in a restaurant?”

“The dish has not been served yet.”

Soon, the ominousness took a specific shape.

After sitting down, I took a deep breath and turned my head.

There were two men and women across the street.

A young girl and a man in black armor.

He snapped his head as if he felt my gaze. The girl moved her gaze accordingly.

“·······.”

A second was enough to confirm each other.

Silence fell between the five of them.

Dark co.

The hapless porter begged and bowed down to the opponent in front of him.

“Am-Yo, A-M-Yo! That’s right. I haven’t seen anything. I’ll never tell anyone. If I tell you, I’m a lunatic! A lunatic!”

He did his best to express that his own mouth was heavier than steel.

Perhaps feeling pity for that pitiful figure, the other person nodded his head.

“I can’t.”

The next victim was Bleper, the leader of the Holy Knights.

He was surprised that he had been suddenly dragged in, and he was even more surprised when he saw the culprit.

“Are you saying that even a paladin was mobilized to protect the saintess?!”

“Yes.”

In fact, it was an arbitrary decision without any authorization.

Even the superiors, the ambassadors, don’t know anything.

Nevertheless, Duwade calmly agreed.

“The decision of the great shrine…! That’s right, considering the feat of the saintess, it’s only natural… But anyway, I’ll follow your order. We, the Holy Knights, won’t get involved.”

“Good idea.”

Bleper saluted and returned safely. He

He was a man of faith, and he could be considered lucky. And the next victims arrived.

Puck! Kwaak-!

······There was a bit of a commotion, but the hall soon calmed down. Ripe liquid flowed into the dark cavity.

“Yes, why are you…!”

It feels like the rough breath will burst my lungs.

The man in the black robe who grabbed her breasts uttered a difficult question.

Colleagues in the same outfit were lying coldly around him.

“Did you dare to target him over me?”

The paladin groaned.

Blood dripped from the mace that shattered the skulls of five or six people.

The man’s face went pale.

“He… The woman who drove out that calamity is going to take care of you as well!”

“She’s that woman. Her words aren’t nice.”

Unfortunately, the man wasn’t so lucky.

I thought I was lucky until I accidentally discovered Qulière, but in fact it was the other way around.

Her Once, the moment she saw her as a member of the Dark Saints, there was no retreat for her.

“How long are you going to keep those disgusting eyeballs open?”

“Hee… Hee! Help me—”

Peruk!

The man with the twisted neck slumped.

A bleak afterglow illuminated Duwade as he wielded his mace. He watched in wonder at the snowflakes penetrating into this dark place.

“…Are you looking at me?”

I muttered lowly, then suddenly realized it and bent both knees. A small snowflake hit the wide back wrapped in white armor.

“Goddess… I send you six today…”

In her eyes, the light of a maniac flashed.
