Episode 22. snow field

snow country.

Like stationery in a drawer, pure and pure white snowy fields.

The Plain of Wolves and Spirits, ‘Nodia’ is the hometown of Ina Yeonparang.

‘Dad, I also want to meet humans outside. How long do I have to meditate here? I can carry souls with me too.’

‘Not yet, Ina. You need to sharpen your fangs more.’

Ina’s hometown is a place where there are no devilish blizzards or frozen icicles.

Even though they have forgotten their name, the souls who have not forgotten Han release their black hearts against the background of cozy white snow, and compose poems with remorse on the paper-like snow field.

Nodia, a hospital for the dead who put aside their evil hearts and close their eyes buried in the white ground, was the most similar to the heaven humans imagined.

So, in a way, it was only natural that Ina, who hadn’t been out of Nodia for over 15 years, had blunt fangs and claws.

‘canine!? Dad, are you saying I’m the strongest of my friends? Even Sein, who is five years older than me, won. It’s already been a month since the people I won went out into the world, so why can’t I go out?’

‘You’re well aware that the fangs I’m talking about don’t mean strength, daughter.’

Unlike the Saeparang and Jinparang tribes, who sharpen themselves in the center of the snowfield where the bitter winter wind blows, the Yeonparang tribe has lived a friendly life interacting with humans on the outskirts of the warm snowfield.

‘Sain Saeparang went outside?’

The lives of the Saeparang and Jinparang tribes, who have been living in the cold midwinter since birth, are naturally full of instincts, toughness, coldness, and hunting methods. To that young child, the outside world would feel warmer than the snowy fields.

Whatever you do, you can do it well.

However, to Inna, the world outside Nodia may be a terrible and frightening place.

If she lived facing only the white aspects of the world, Ina would be able to return to Nodia after her journey without a single wound.

Ina’s father could have asserted that the possibility of that would be remarkably low.

What a shock Ina will be when she faces evil for the first time in front of her eyes.

Even when he told me that humans and the world, which I had only known as a pure white line, had a cruel and fearful side to me, Ina did not understand it.

Ina is abnormal.

No matter how young she is, she slowly opens her eyes to her inner wild instincts as she becomes an adult, but Ina has yet to learn how to bite and kill her opponent.

Because Ina is half-human.

It happened because the wolf’s blood had faded, but even so, as long as she wore the name of light blue, Ina should be able to hunt on her own.

I had to be aware of the wolf blood flowing inside me.

Ina’s father loves his human wife, and he also loves his daughter with human blood.

That’s why I hoped that Ina wouldn’t be hurt, but at the same time I also wanted her to grow up in the wide world.

He didn’t want to keep his daughter, who had a natural talent for necromancer, to the point of overwhelming the new blue tribe, who continued hunting day after day.

In order for a baby bird without dry down to break out of the egg, it must destroy its own world.

But no matter how much I wait, Ina doesn’t seem to open her eyes to her own instincts… .

‘If you can’t open your eyes by yourself… . In the end, I have no choice but to collide with a new world… .’

“Ina, open this place tomorrow.”

“Uh, huh? Is it real?”

As a father, I am worried about Ina’s white heart, who has never been jealous of anyone and has never hated anyone.

In the hope that she would meet someone who left footprints and letters with her fingers in the snowy field named Ina Yeonparang, I allowed her to travel.

It’s already been 3 years like that.

It had been three years since Ina had been enjoying the beauty of the student council.

quiet morning.

It’s Paideia, but in Sepia’s room without a maid, even the blanket to cover it with was torn to shreds.

“You bastard, wake up. oh, this is out again Hey, bring some cold water.”

“Felix, I will die at this rate. No matter how old the princess is, she is… .”

“Hey. I have to do it like this, this bitch won’t go back to the beggar’s den again. The princess wants that, so do you have any complaints about Princess Euryl right now?”

“ah… . no! It can’t be!”

Lewis Sepia. She is the only daughter of the Lewis family, which was once renowned for its research on ‘Internal Manalogy’.

Their research on utilizing the high concentration of mana accumulated in their blood and organs was especially brilliant in the war against the Witchbeast, but the newly crowned Emperor Jernim kept away from mana in the body, and the Lewis family rapidly declined.

Therefore, Sepia, who has lived a life like a commoner, moved from the agoge dormitory to Paideia with high grades last year.

‘Then you’ll be crushed as you notice… .’

Unaware of the atmosphere of this place, rumors circulate that she complained to her friends at Agoge, saying that the student council seems to be discriminating against the dormitory.

Princess Euril accepted it as a challenge to herself, and Sepia’s ‘leading’ began.

In fact, even if you don’t do this, Sepia will run away to the agoge dormitory again.

It was only in March that I could apply for a dormitory transfer, so I was just suffering here, and Felix, the head of the leadership team, was well aware of that.

However, what should I do if this is also the will of the princess?

‘Felix, how’s the leadership activity going?’

‘Yes, Princess. As you said, ‘evil’ is being thoroughly punished.’

‘It’s like a knight. But such an appearance might be shocking to Ina. We’re fine, but you know Ina, right?’

Student council mascot. Wolf Girl, Ina Light Blue.

Mojiri believes that all humans will be good.

Felix recalled Inna’s infinitely bright smile and said to Euril.

‘Yeah. The kid who came from rolling in the snow… . It’s obvious that I’m going to go to the middle of the day. You probably won’t understand why it has to be like this, so I’ll take care of it without Inna knowing.’

‘As expected, he’s the genius of the Bellhound family. You are the most reliable sword to me.’

‘It’s an honor I’ll never forget.’

Princess Auril smiled coldly and asked Felix.

‘Never let Inna know about leading activities. Got it?’

‘I’ll keep that in mind.’

‘Even if Ina is a bit stupid… Considering the positive image of our student council as a mascot, he is an indispensable kid here.’

‘That’s right.’

‘So, make sure you have a thorough discussion with Heryl before you do anything. I mean, collaborate with the general affairs department. Got it?’

‘Yeah. princess.’

Certainly, I am doing as the princess commands.

By now, Ina would have left somewhere in the arms of the General Affairs Department.

‘I’m excited like a dog going out for a walk.’

Did you go to research data to make a regulation plan for cafes on the outskirts of schools, which are growing helplessly today?

Anyway, there will be no chance for Ina to witness this sepia now.

If you leave out Ina, who would reach out to Sepia in Paideia to save her… . There can be no

Felix laughed in front of Sepia, who passed out from pain.

“Who will help you? You ignorant bitch.”

* * *

In the morning, Ina and two members of the general affairs department came to Alley No. 2, which is famous for its cafes.

Ina was delighted with her eyes shining at the sight of the rows of chaotic yet exotic shops unique to places where commoners gathered… .

The student council was planning to ask the school to restrict the indiscriminate cafe operation, so it seemed that they had already forgotten that they had come here for a preliminary investigation.

‘By now, that bitch… .’

The two general affairs officers got goosebumps when they thought of the size of Felix, who had visited them last night, exchanged glances behind Ina and smiled.

‘How painful would it be to be hit by someone like that?’

‘therefore. Live quietly as you notice.’

First of all, they had to keep Ina interested and actually had to submit a report on Alley No. 2 to the general manager, Heril, by the day after tomorrow, so they took Ina to any cafe.

‘Even though it’s vacation, there are quite a lot of people in the cafe.’

The sound of clinking teacups could be heard from outside the door. When I opened the door, a warm breeze blew in, and the smell of wood and coffee was strong.

The Agoge dormitory library is small, so I’ve heard that inferior students who want to study stupidly study at the cafe during the day when the library is full.

While Ina waggled her tail, the general affairs staff managed to find a seat and somehow called out the busy waiter and ordered a drink of any kind.

“I have no mind. Ina, do you like this place?”

“fun! Was there a place where many people gathered like this even on vacation? I should come visit often!”

“but… . What do you hate?”

Ina happily sipped on something simple and intensely sweet, enjoying the rambling atmosphere here.

It was not common in quiet Nodia to see groups of three or five gathering and having interesting conversations on different topics.

“But we’re here to disrupt business.”

“why-?”

“Yeah, this is where commoner kids of a lower level gather… .”

“It’s not? look over there Are there any kids in our dorm?”

“Eh?”

Looking at the direction Ina was pointing, the General Affairs Department members really belonged to Paideia… . Even students from aristocrats were sitting.

“Shall we say hello? hi-! Guys!”

“or? you know here too! Cafes have been popular these days.”

Ina quickly joined them, and her noble friends stroked her and asked.

“You came here because the dormitory is noisy too?”

“yes? Are you noisy?”

“I did not know? No, did you hear that Princess Frill is suddenly training magic this morning? All the dormitory kids are flocking to the magic training center to watch it? I live on the first floor, so I couldn’t stand the noise.”

“Princess Frill is practicing magic? really!?”

“yes. Besides, he said he had a certain commoner with him.”

First of all, it was surprising that Princess Frill, who was famous for living against the wall in her studies, would suddenly try to learn magic.

It was shocking to see that he was taking a commoner girl whose name he didn’t know.

The free magic she demonstrated in the auditorium was really beautiful, regardless of Professor Ian’s class content or Princess Frill’s reputation, so students who wanted to see it again flocked to the magic training center.

The precious and beautiful memories of the royal family have been transferred to reality, but of course it has taken away everyone’s hearts.

It was not understandable that many students wanted to see the snow that had fallen in the auditorium again.

Ina’s eyes quickly began to fill with interest.

The snowflakes were even more impressive to Ina, who had lived in Nodia, where it snowed all day, or because she had lived in Nodia.

It was so strange to Ina that eyes she had seen so many times could appear so beautiful.

When the General Affairs Department members quickly noticed and tried to raise their hands on Ina’s shoulder from behind… .

“Guys… . Sorry! Let’s come to the cafe a lot tomorrow!”

“or? Hey wait, where are you going!! wait-!!”

“I want to watch too-!!”

Ina is like a werewolf… It became a point at high speed.

“I missed it.”

In the eyes of the General Affairs Department officers who stared at each other in vain, anxiety rose little by little.

“Unnoticed… wouldn’t it?”

“no way.”

* * *

Princess Frill was excited and explained to Mina.

The magic practice room in the corner of the 2nd floor of the Paideia Dormitory was called the essence of space magic, fittingly said to be the best magic facility.

The exterior door is small and unattractive, but if you enter and simply set the size and type, there is an automated magic that creates and teleports you to the space you want.

To create space, the capacity was infinite.

Besides, the one who makes the sophisticated magic always automatic is none other than Kiruna’s current headmaster, Skillbeck.

It was difficult to find such a delicate and error-free circle 8 automatic magic circle even in the entire empire.

‘Isn’t it the principal of the world’s best magic school?’

By the way… .

“Why can’t we go in there?”

“People… .”

“A lot.”

When and where did the rumors come from?

There were already a lot of people on the second floor of Paideia to see Princess Frill.

There’s no way they can block the way Fril wants to go, but… .

“Princess, you may feel uncomfortable, but please be patient. I, the lead manager, Felix Bellhound, will take charge and empty this place in 10 minutes. We are currently controlling the number of people by putting in all the leading members, so please wait for a moment.”

“No, so why? If it’s the kids who came to see me, can’t we just let them see?”

“It’s dangerous… ! There might be someone out there who is after the frill princess. As a knight, it is Bellhound’s duty to ensure the safety of the princess-“

Mina thought as she stared blankly at the leading manager making a fuss.

‘I think the princess is really bothering me.’

But why am I with someone like that… ?

“ha… . okay. Next time you come to practice, should I tell the student council in advance?”

“If you do that, we will stand by from the day before and do our best for the safety of the princess-”

“done. Until what day before.”

“Ah, yes.”

“By the way, Mina, you came very early today. Did I send it too early?”

“Yeah? No! You were up four hours ago!”

Of course not.

“yes? Very diligent, even during vacation.”

“Ahahahaha… .”

Mina was only thinking about how to secretly wipe the cold sweat from her forehead.

Next to her was the princess, and in front of her was Felix, looking suspiciously at Mina.

‘It may seem strange that a commoner is getting attention from the princess, but I’m not in a position to say anything… . it can not be helped-‘

“… ?”

At that time, Felix’s gaze, which had been pierced by Mina, began to turn elsewhere.

I read his startled expression and looked back… .

“Princess Frill-!!”

A girl with wolf ears pricked up, who had rushed past all the leading members who were blocking entry and exit, bowed her head in front of Princess Frill.

‘Ina senior?’

Heterogeneous people who don’t have much in school. werewolf.

Even though Mina was far from the student council, she knew to some extent about the charm of her representative of the student council.

However, Princess Frill had never been to school, so it seemed like she didn’t know her.

“Are you Rang? What is your name?”

“Ina light blue. princess! The eye magic you showed me the other day was very impressive!”

At that time, Mina began to notice Felix, who did not say a word in front of Ina, who had suddenly intruded in front of the princess.

He looked at Ina and Frill, then cautiously slipped back and started beckoning to the leading members.

Even as Felix tried not to show it, Mina could see that Felix was agitated.

In front of the princess, she acted as if she wouldn’t let anyone in, but then suddenly, senior Lee Ina appeared and something went wrong.

He doesn’t stop Ina or his seniors, and he doesn’t even say hello to them even though they belong to the same student council.

‘What?’

Mina deliberately ignored the noise around her and sneaked a few steps behind Felix, trying to hear him urgently whisper something to the leading men.

“[email protected]!%… . Where is she now?”

“As the leading members gathered here, surveillance was lifted… . He said he wasn’t in the room right now-“

“Find it now… ! [email protected]!% Put it somewhere. Princess Auril is $#!4%… .”

Mina’s eyes narrowed sharply.

I can’t hear it well… . One thing was certain.

Right now, the leadership team was hiding something terrible from Ina-senpai.

It was just too embarrassing to let go.

‘What the hell is going on?’

That’s how serious Felix’s expression was.

‘Does Princess Frill know what they are hiding from Ina-senpai?’

In the end, Mina cut off Ina-senpai’s endless chatter and approached Frill and whispered.

“Me, Princess?”

“yes?”

“Is there anything in this dormitory-”

at that time.

Brilliant-!!

A sharp rupture, as if the world was breaking, resounded from the corridor on the other side of the second floor.

Despite the efforts of the leading team, it was out of control, so the front of the magic practice room where everyone was chatting and whispering became quiet in an instant, and Felix’s expression collapsed in an instant.

that brief moment.

It was Mina, who had been suspicious of everything around her from the beginning, who judged the situation before anyone even opened her mouth and took action right away.

Heading towards the hallway where the sound came from, Mina ran out.

“Hey, what is that mint hair… ! catch!”

“Ha, but he’s a friend of the princess… .”

before anyone covers it up again.

Mina quickly turned the hallway corner and ran at full speed through the straight hallway.

Even from afar, in front of the public toilet on the second floor, the floor is glistening with something.

Seeing bloodstains on the bathroom floor, Mina became contemplative and went inside.

“Are you okay!?”

Mina arrives first, followed by Frill and Ina.

“What is this… .”

There was a sin that everyone hid secretly.

Had I been abused?

A completely broken girl, with bruises all over her body and swollen eyes, was bleeding and looking at her refracted image in the broken mirror.

When blood dripped onto the shards of glass, strangely, there was no expression on her face as she shed tears in pain.

Lewis Sepia.

For Frill and Ina, who don’t know the world, it may still be too soon.

It was the moment when the white snowfield of the two purest people in the dormitory completely collapsed.
