On a snowfield on the planet Jarilo-VI, Kiana, Stelle, Dan Heng, and March 7th walked across the deep layers of snow.
After looking around, March 7th sighed, "It really is a world of ice and snow here."
"A world of ice and snow indeed."
"Are you a repeater or something..."
March 7th looked at Stelle beside her with a speechless expression, her hands on her hips.
"Hiss... Speaking of which, March, aren't you cold...?"
Stelle hugged her arms, her nose twitching from the cold, and asked the question in her heart as she looked at March 7th, who was wearing very little but didn't seem cold at all.
In response, March 7th asked Stelle a soul-searching question:
"I'm an ice user, should I feel cold?"
"Ah, well..."
It seemed there really was nothing wrong with that!
March 7th used Six Phases of Ice, and the ability of the Fourth Sephirah of the kabbalah tree of life also seemed to involve ice... In this kind of weather, wearing a skirt with bare legs, she really wouldn't feel the cold!
But then again, it's fine if little March isn't cold, but why aren't you cold either, Dan Heng, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes?
Dan Heng glanced at Stelle and thought to himself: Can't you see my trembling arms and legs... Not being cold is just a false appearance you see; you can't blame him for his poker face.
Stelle rubbed her hands and looked at Kiana, who was also not cold, and a small light bulb lit up over her head.
Dan Heng is a man and she's a woman, so they shouldn't be too close, and little March uses ice, so she'd probably feel icy cold if hugged.
But Kiana was different; she must have some kind of heating skill, so hugging her was the right choice!
Stelle sidled up to Kiana and hugged her. Sure enough, Kiana's body was warm.
"The Kiana-brand heater, everyone who uses it says it's great!"
"You're sticking so close, I can't even walk properly!"
Kiana poked Stelle's cheek and spoke in a slightly doting tone.
"Honestly, let's keep going, we still need to find the Stellaron."
"True, but as a matter of urgency, we still need to determine if there's any civilization left on this planet."
Dan Heng nodded to March 7th and then offered his opinion.
If civilization still existed, finding the Stellaron might be a bit faster than exploring aimlessly on their own.
March 7th smiled and nodded in agreement.
"That's true, then let's set off!"
"Let's set off!"
Stelle mimicked March 7th's actions and expression, saying the same words, which made March 7th's smile stiffen as she said helplessly:
"How long has this repeating symptom been going on..."
"How long has this repeating symptom... Ow!"
Stelle, who continued to repeat, felt a heavy tap on her head, then clutched her head with teary eyes and looked at Kiana with a wronged expression.
Hiss... Baby Stelle is actually quite cute... Kiana was slightly charmed by this look, even though Stelle was tall and usually had a blank expression.
But when she looked wronged, it was strangely heart-fluttering. Could this young miss have awakened some incredible attribute!
She shook her head vigorously. No, no, being a sadist is unacceptable, Kiana! You can't become like that!
"Alright, let's move forward~"
Kiana stretched her arms and shouted with high energy.
"Sigh... This journey seems to be full of troubles as well."
Dan Heng shook his head, but the smile at the corner of his mouth never faded.
After walking for a long time, the group arrived at the entrance of a valley. After some discussion, they chose to continue walking inside.
Because when landing, Dan Heng had specifically noticed the terrain of this area. Through this small icy valley, there was a wide road behind it.
"There are frozen members of the Antimatter Legion and other creatures everywhere... What on earth happened here..."
March 7th looked at the frozen sculptures in various poses around them, her brows slightly furrowed, and spoke in a slightly worried tone.
Had the disaster caused by the Stellaron burst completely buried the civilization here under the ice and snow?
If so, this journey, which already seemed ill-fated, felt a bit tricky even for March 7th, who had gone on many Trailblaze missions.
If the Stellaron was really buried deep underground, how long would it take them to find it?
"Don't worry, little March, there won't be too many problems. Besides, Stelle can sense the presence of the Stellaron, so this journey won't be that hard. Moreover, this young miss is here."
Kiana took March 7th's hand, transferring her own warmth to the slightly cold little hand, a confident and sunny smile on her face.
No matter how she thought about it, nothing would go wrong with this Trailblaze journey.
Even if Kiana didn't take action, these three members of the Astral Express Crew, who had been strengthened by her, could solve the problems of this planet.
"Instead of worrying and causing mental exhaustion, why not think about how to act next, little March?"
Dan Heng crossed his arms and looked around, quickly spotting a very conspicuous snow pile.
"Wait, look over there..."
"Hmm? Could that be a treasure chest!"
Stelle's eyes lit up as she saw the constantly shaking snow pile, then she pulled out a bat from behind her, ready to open the treasure chest.
"Wait, there's obviously a person hiding inside..."
March 7th grabbed the impulsive Stelle and pointed at the snow pile.
If it were really a treasure chest, how could it move around? Honestly, does Stelle think it's a Mimic... Kiana looked at the snow pile, her eyes darting slightly, and then she showed a hint of mischief.
"Little March, I think this should be a burial mound. To not disturb the peace of the sleeping person, use your ice to make a few ice slabs and seal him in..."
Kiana put on a look of pity, shook her head, and sighed slightly.
March 7th saw the smile in Kiana's eyes and immediately understood. She then walked over with a beaming smile.
Using her ability, she created several ice slabs and inserted them around the snow pile. Just as she was about to seal the top... a man wearing slightly flashy clothes, with deep blue hair and long, naturally curly bangs covering his left eye, jumped out of the snow pile.
"Hey, hey, hey! Wait a minute! I was just burrowing in the snow, I didn't do anything wrong. You guys trying to lock me up is just too unfair!"
Those narrow, Mint green eyes were full of accusations against the people in front of him.
"What kind of decent person hides in the snow in this frozen environment!"
March 7th casually threw the Six Phases of Ice she had prepared for the top to the side and retorted righteously.
Besides, if they really had bad intentions, they would have just let Dan Heng poke your butt with his spear!
"Uh..."
After the man's eyes darted around frantically for a few moments, he immediately put on a flattering expression:
"You're right, it's my fault for hiding in the snow so abruptly. How about... we all become friends and get to know each other?"
"..."
The four of them, including Kiana, half-closed their eyes, looking like dead fish with their hands on their hips.
Go on, keep acting, we're watching.
"Oh my, may I ask if Officer Gepard has arrived? I'm quite familiar with him."
"Gepard? Who's that?"
March 7th put her hands on her hips and frowned in confusion.
Seeing March 7th's reaction, the man opposite them feigned a sigh of relief, and the tension on his face faded.
"So you're not Silvermane Guards. It seems we're all on the same side. Sampo Koski, a pleasure to meet you."
Sampo's tone was now calm and relaxed, completely devoid of his previous embarrassment.
Oh... he's quite the actor, as expected of a Fool from the Tavern.
Kiana stared at Sampo with a playful gaze, a faint smile tugging at the corner of her mouth.
For some reason, Sampo felt a chill down his spine, as if he were being watched by something.
Oh, it's just the icy weather; a chill down the back is perfectly normal.
Surely I, old Sampo, won't become someone else's source of amusement? That would be quite a life~
Sampo comforted himself internally.
