Chapter 208: D74. Ice Heart Can Be Examined_2

Although she could speak endlessly, there was no one else who would listen. Just thinking about this made her feel increasingly pathetic.

Her heart felt so weary...

If only she could see her again—

At this moment, in the Snow Woman’s mind, appeared the girl she had once had a fleeting encounter with at the church in Lake Town.

Originally, she had wanted to secretly join the festival of humankind, but was delayed on the journey. Not only did she miss the fishing festival, but she almost received a cold shoulder from the Bishop.

Yet, it could be said that this misfortune was a blessing in disguise, as she encountered that warmhearted girl.

If I could just hug her, I would have the motivation to keep working...

Suddenly, she was startled, her eyes widening in surprise as she looked down at her feet.

A gray, inconspicuous egg had somehow moved positions and was now gently nestled against her ankle.

The warmth, full of life force, seemed to travel up from her feet, flowing straight to her heart, causing its steady beat to fall into disarray.

"You..."

[Snow Woman’s Perception (Perception +98,100+ Success)]

D100+98=d100(66)+98=164

"Miss Hero...?"

The Snow Woman couldn’t quite believe it herself, as she covered her mouth after blurting out this line.

As a species akin to Magic Creatures, the warmth-craving demon, the Snow Woman sought was not just simple body heat or high temperatures.

Otherwise, a bonfire in a cave would suffice, so why journey from the Snow Mountain to join the church of humankind?

What the Snow Woman yearned for was life force, a ’temperature’ radiating from the very spirit.

Because the Snow Woman’s blood was frosted, her heart was icebound, even her soul soaked in the harshness of winter.

Yet, once they experienced warmth, no matter how insignificant, they could no longer bear this innate trait of theirs.

Just as those who have seen the Light cannot endure the Dark, the Snow Woman would pursue more with all she had.

The Snow Woman longed for warmth, longed to thaw, and thus, each warmth she touched left a sharp and lively memory.

The ’temperature of the spirit’ was a sensation that humankind found difficult to possess, a personal trait harder to confuse than appearances and features.

Upon hearing the Snow Woman’s call, the Hero was surprised she could recognize her but wobbled the egg to confirm.

"Why are you in this place...and how come you’re an egg?"

The Snow Woman stretched out her hand, confused and hesitant, to pick up the Hero (egg). She then squinted her ice-crystal-like eyes comfortably, letting out an inviting, long sigh from the warmth that seeped into her soul.

"Mmm~"

The Hero remained unresponsive, allowing herself to be held,

Even for a Snow Woman, such a minor temperature difference was unlikely to affect her as a Phoenix Egg.

[Snow Woman’s Next Action—]

"Mmm-mmm-mmm~ mmm~"

Once the realization dawned that the Hero didn’t fear her coldness at all, the Snow Woman joyfully embraced her tightly, her soft skin closely pressing against the eggshell.

If this weren’t the moist highland ground, she felt she might have been rolling around with joy.

"Hehe, huhhehe~"

The Snow Woman continually rubbed her cheek against the Hero’s eggshell, her smile as radiant as the Sun,

Her actions were less like those of a powerful demon and more like a little girl receiving a birthday gift.

Were all Snow Women like this?

Helplessly unable to resist or protest, the Hero could only endure it silently.

Surely she couldn’t draw runes on the eggshell.

After quite some time, the Snow Woman finally calmed down, exhaling a breath of frosted mist with satisfaction.

[Snow Woman’s Fatigue Eliminated]

D100+30=d100(82)+30=112

Ice sculptures formed from green grass, soil turned into smooth ice surfaces, and countless ice crystals appeared in the empty air, shimmering in the clear, cold highland sunlight.

When the Gleaming Scale Serpent returned to the Hero’s location with large bags, it was greeted by this marvelous scene.

The Snow Woman’s excessive joy transformed into a resonance of Magic Power, turning even the verdant winter wetlands into permafrost.

Alarmed and panicked, the Gleaming Scale Serpent took a combat stance, readying itself to assault the thief who dared touch the Queen.

However, as the Snow Woman and the Gleaming Scale Serpent had a prior acquaintance, they managed to calm down and held a friendly consultation. The result was that the Snow Woman would—

1. Take responsibility for the Hero

2. Tidy up the items♛

D2=d2(2)=2

While the Gleaming Scale Serpent continued its duty of guarding the Hero.

Under the discontented gaze of the Gleaming Scale Serpent, the Snow Woman, embarrassed, released the Hero to organize her slightly scattered baggage.

After all, the Gleaming Scale Serpent was just a serpent, although it successfully gathered the Hero’s backpack and clothing and dragged them over, the rough transportation had predictable results.

Therefore, following a brief communication, the Gleaming Scale Serpent was coiled near the Hero while the Snow Woman helped tidy and clean the Hero’s luggage and clothes.

"It can be considered a break."

The Snow Woman, having fully resurrected, harbored no dissatisfaction as she placed the luggage properly and froze, then shattered, any dirt on the clothes for easy cleaning.
