I Became the Snow Woman I Made

65 – Pure White Paradise (4)

In short, Chandra Pale’s life was short and stimulating.

He is a fighting monster with an unyielding temper and a desire for thrills.

With overwhelming force added to that, his whole life was literally a series of struggles and fights, and the job of a monster hunter to track down rumors of a monster had already been standardized in the past.

Even the habit of going hunting every day has long since become a daily routine.

─By the way.

Recently, he has changed slightly, no, a lot.

He hadn’t caught a monster in ten days.

“·······.”

Acting as if forgetting the past buried in exaltation.

Paley was stunned at the impossibility.

“Mister, by any chance… Are you sick?”

To the woman who asked her to be careful, the black knight answered indifferently as usual.

“It’s fine.”

“But why don’t you catch the monster. Where did you get hurt? You’re sick, right? I was fighting with you then—”

“He said he was fine.”

“… I don’t think so!”

I tried to reprimand her, but Paley considered it a disturbing yet good phenomenon.

Ten days spent without holding a sword.

For some reason, there were no symptoms of lethargy that appeared when hunting was stopped.

“Ah!”

The incident happened a few days later.

One day, while walking down the street, Chandrapail bumped into a rough man on the shoulder.

“Oops…! What kind of bastard!”

It was all the fault of the man who walked sideways, but he glared at the black knight with a red-bottomed look.

Ordinary people would automatically roll up his tail when they saw that ominous black armor, but he had a liver sticking out of his stomach.

“Hey. Don’t you keep your eyes open! You can’t see because you’re wearing a helmet?!”

“·······.”

“Ehh. Are you ignoring me now? I won’t apologize right away!”

The brazen accusations continued, and Paley shivered with tension.

It was just a reaction that was concerned about the safety of her man, not Chandra Pale.

However, despite the primary criticism, the black knight remained silent.

“Hmph. Were you scared? Anyway, be careful next time. I won’t look at you twice.”

“·······.”

“Kak tu! Unlucky.”

The man giggled and returned to her body.

Perplexity and confusion were solely Paley’s share.

“Wait. Wait! Man!”

“What is it?”

“Why are you putting up with that! Anyone can see that it’s the strange man’s fault!”

It’s been a fight, but I’m patient without saying a word.

It wasn’t like the infamous Sword Demon.

Chandrapail replied calmly, as if he wasn’t even angry.

“Then you should have killed him.”

“···! That’s, that’s not it… This isn’t like an old man!”

“It’s not like me.”

With that muttering, the black knight moved on.

Paley hurriedly followed him, her confusion growing day by day.

And now.

The two were at the restaurant ‘Wandering Island’ where they met Quilière the other day.

From noble mtl dot com

“The salad is delicious.”

Paley, who has a small stomach, eats like a bite, and Chandra Pale, who sits silently as always.

He didn’t like Yogi very much, and he was staring blankly into space.

“I see.”

“Yes. I like budberries.”

When I talked to him mysteriously, the answer came right back.

If lethargy is the cause, there’s no way this is the case.

Why is this man like this?

─I heard that the news of the Dark Saints meeting has disappeared recently.

Then I heard the conversation of a customer.

─Something is strange. Did the pests even run away?

─I guess so. It is a country that has lost its leader, so can they be more active because they are scared?

The topic was a familiar one that is often encountered these days.

The downfall of the society that had been threatening them all along. It was exhilarating, and Paley thought it was a good thing.

“Looks like the Dark Saints are barely showing up.”

“I see.”

“Yes. From the riot of the dead to the Great Bridge incident… It must be because the damage was so great, right? It’s all thanks to you.”

“······Hmm.”

Meanwhile, Chandrafale didn’t even look at the news, not interested in it at all.

She just calmly remembered one person.

Quilière.

Her memories of being with her, whether it was her saint or her goddess, were not particularly good.

─Stupid. Not crazy

The image of looking down at oneself collapsed after being defeated by the black calamity, or the image of surrendering oneself with one hand.

None of them were ugliness that didn’t go well with him, who was even called the Sword Demon.

“·······.”

Normally, the only reason why he strongly thinks of something is his fighting spirit.

However, there was no such desire inside him.

Some kind of attraction, not a thrill-craving heart.

He couldn’t understand even though he was suffering, so he quietly opened his mouth.

“Dragon.”

“…Yes?”

Paley, who was chewing on a pile of grass, asked with a leaky pronunciation.

Swallow it down and say it.

“A dragon?”

“Yes. The monster headed east.”

“Uh… Was it? I think it was, but… I’m not sure. I was so surprised at that time.”

“It doesn’t matter.”

He didn’t really ask for consent.

The black knight’s memory was clear, so it was just a conversation to himself.

“East.”

A sense of being in touch with the world that was oppressing you.

Could it be that the attraction that wraps around the whole body is caused by that?

“East.”

Anyway, I had to move slowly.

Even the sense of exhilaration that we had always been together was blurred as if there was fog.

······ Now, for the first time in his life, he lost the direction of his life.

***

A few powerful people are more efficient than dozens of people.

Today was a precious day when I realized that fact.

The inside of the nicely finished igloo. I was sitting next to Nell.

“It’s not warm…But it’s cool.”

“Sure.”

The bench made of ice was soft because it was covered with a blanket.

Because she was a snow woman, she couldn’t feel anything other than softness.

Still, I gave a rough answer, but Nell looked like he had a question.

“Why?”

“What?”

“Even though it’s a house. After all, it’s made of ice. But why is it less cold than outside?”

Rarely, his eyes are burning with passion for learning.

It was a reasonable question, and I was happy to have her doubts about the principle of the phenomenon.

“That’s right.”

“Huh? Uh uh.”

Nell turned her body towards me and sat down.

I looked at her and kindly gave her answer.

“It’s because of copy 輻射.”

“Copy?”

“Yes. This inside is entirely made of ice, so it doesn’t absorb any heat or light radiation at all.”

“?”

Nel blinked her eyes.

I recited it while arranging the old memories that came to my mind.

“No, reflect instead of absorb.”

“Reflection…?”

“Yes. So even with a small amount of heat, the air inside gets warmed up quickly, and the high temperature doesn’t leak out…”

“···??”

As I continued my explanation, her tilted head went down almost to the ground.

It was clearly not understood.

It was natural that I don’t have an image that would like to study, and it was quite fun.

“Ah… Ha! I see. That’s it!”

Nell nodded awkwardly, her mouth slightly open.

I also met him face-to-face.

“Yeah. That’s it.”

“Ah… Is the lizard doing well?”

She changed her topic unnaturally.

This time it was my turn to tilt my head.

“A lizard?”

“Uh. Mishrang or Pankajin are his species, dragons.”

“Pankaji Mishra.”

“Ah, that’s right. The name is really unique… Anyway, when I saw it in the dragon version, it looked like a lizard.

“·······.”

I thought about those words once.

The majestic Silver Dragon King······ Even in modern times, dragons and lizards are often intertwined.

That’s right.

“Is it similar?”

“They look alike. That’s why I gave them nicknames.”

“Is that a lizard?”

“Yeah. How is it?”

“Go and ask Mishra.”

He let out a shallow sigh and pointed outside.

The two fought each other every time they met, so it was no surprise now.

I wonder if my personality doesn’t match.

“Go?”

“Help me build an igloo on the way.”

“Uh… Is that so? Got it!”

Nel jumped out of her chair.

She then ran to her entrance and … Glanced back at me and waved her hand.

“I’m resting!”

“…Yes.”

While doing so, he smiles and then disappears.

What’s so fun about it?

It wasn’t a bad thing since he seemed to be doing well.

“Mmm.”

Soon, in the igloo left alone, I stroked the ice wall.

When I was a human, I would have hated it because it was cold, but I felt comfortable because I was a snow woman.

“It’s kind of strange. It’s like the fact that the igloo is here.”

It’s something you only see on Earth.

Of course, I’ve never actually seen it.

Mishra was still building a new igloo on the other side of the snowfield.

She seems to be impressed with what Nell makes, but since this is Nell’s property, she seems to want something of her own.

But you don’t seem to have any talent, so it would be better to enlist Nel’s help.

He muttered as he caressed the cold wall.

“Anyway, it’s noisy, so it’s not bad.”

At least I wasn’t bored like before.

·······.

The entrance to the Ice Mountains where the cold wind blows.

Something dull landed in a place that had been quiet for a while.

Kung—!

The man in the white armor was the Crusader Duwade. He was no longer a paladin, but he used his strength to reach the Far East in an instant.

“This is the Ice Mountains······Quilier-sama’s residence.”

However, even the underworld had no choice but to hesitate for a moment in front of the demonic realm.

Duwade looked up at the mountains with wondrous eyes.

“It’s really cold, like winter.”

It was a place that fit his image perfectly.

So I couldn’t linger here.

Without hesitation, he stepped out and passed the border of the mountain range.

Shaaa─

“Great…”

The chilly air penetrates immediately.

Even hard armor couldn’t completely block it.

It is indeed the Far East’s Magical Land. The extreme climate was no fiction at all.

“…But I was determined.”

He also rose to the level of a paladin.

The days of harsh training and training never went smoothly.

Confidence accumulated while approaching holy faith and my own secret technique.

─Paaah!

Dew Wade strengthened his body by exploding vast divine power.

There are various kinds of Ganghwa Island, but this time, we focused on one specific point, ‘cold resistance’ and ‘warmth retention’.

Much better.

“This should be enough.”

He nodded and strode up the mountain range.

The weight of the armor was considerable, and it naturally caused quite a bit of noise.

An unfamiliar noise attracted the inhabitants of the mountain.

Kieh-!

I encountered several monsters along the way, but I was no match for the Crusader.

However, the number was staggering, and there was nothing good about losing strength in advance, so he avoided battle as much as possible.

─────!

So some climbing passed.

At that time when I was running in full swing, I faced the moment when my eyesight opened up.

“······!”

A pure white paradise that makes your eyes hurt.

After blinking for a moment, Deweyde was able to take a good look around.

A voice of wonder flowed.

“This is a snowy field…! It’s a place where one word, Demonic Lands, is not enough.”

It would be rude to call his dwelling place the Devil’s View in the first place, but even if you removed that mind, the word “Superb view” Would be more appropriate than the Devil’s View.

Of course, how many people on all continents have witnessed this scenery?

“Somewhere around here, Miss Quilière—”

Then, some noise pierced my ears.

Two Kwa Kwa Kwa—!

A roaring sound that seemed to sweep the ground strongly.

Duwade suddenly turned his head, and immediately after that, his eyes widened.

There was a silver-haired woman and a pile of ice.

“There’s something strange about the ice bricks…”

She takes her breath and steals her mouth.

Mishra complained that the construction was not going as planned.

“Some stick too well, some don’t stick at all. It can’t be that the original girl’s breath is wrong…”

“·······You.”

“!”

Mishra was startled when Duwade, who had been standing there, spat out.

The dragon king’s eyes widened when he saw him.

“… No! Who are you?! When did you come up here!”

“I just arrived.”

“Just…!”

Mishra’s eyelids trembled at his candid answer.

“····· A woman who needs to keep her snowy mistake makes this mistake!

She mumbled to herself, then turned her head away with a jerk.

“A human wearing strange armor! Reveal your true identity.”

“My name is Duwade. ······No, I do.”

“Dew Wade? It’s a name I’ve never heard of before.”

The Crusader is polite to a woman who seems to be the goddess’s servant. She even gave a good nod to her question.

“I bet. It’s a secret name.”

“Secret? What’s that… No. That’s okay. More than that, why did you come here—”

“Hey lizard!”

Suddenly, a sharp voice broke in, and the two reflexively looked away.

Red hair fluttered in contrast to the pure white world.

“How far did you make…?”

Nelsartilla raised her eyebrows deliberately and tilted her head at Dew Wade.

She asked.

“What are you?”

“·······.”

For her, her natural question, but Dew Wade knew who she was.

A woman who accompanied Quilière to this place. The past, formerly called the Red Disaster, did not matter at all.

“I’m here to see Quilière.”

The Crusader told the truth.

There was no reason to come to the snowy field other than that in the first place. Even so, Nell and Mishra flinched.

“What? So you’re a guest?”

“Wait! Don’t be fooled. You still don’t know what you’re here for!”

“Ah, ah! That’s right. I almost fooled you with your polite attitude!”

The two women seldom exchanged glances and made a fuss. It was the power of the name Quilière.

“You bastard, what kind of heartache do you have!”

“Obviously reveal the real purpose!”

The two glared at Duwade without letting go of their guard. As expected, he did not waver.

Of course, I had no intention of using force.

He chose a polite favor out of countless ways.

“You two must be Quilière’s servants. I have no intention of causing a stir, so please tell him that I have come.”

Finally, I bow my head to show her respect.

Nell and Mishra were startled in other parts instead of that attitude.

“—His henchmen!”

“I’m from Quilière… You, do you know anything?!”

The boundary between the two eyes had clearly faded.

Duwade blinked at the mysterious phenomenon.

“… Hmm?”
