Episode 343
Three days after the witch of winter, Louis, woke up from the sealing stone. Volterra has undergone many changes.
The white snowstorm raged so violently that it was impossible to see right away, and the lively city became a kingdom of snow that lost all its inhabitants.
With Lorelai by her side, Angela thought with a serious expression.
The Hunter Association said Lewis hadn’t recovered his strength yet, but can he say that even after seeing this scenery? Isn’t the influence too strong to treat this as a powerless queen?
“Maybe the association was wrong. No matter how 6th level hunters are dispatched, attacking Louis with 6 people is not an underestimation of witches…”
Lorelai, wearing thick clothes, worried about Angela looking at the snow-covered mountain, breathed in the air. I blew
Whoa –
The fierce snowfall that covered Volterra instantly took away the warmth from Lorelai’s white breath.
“Angela. I understand your concerns. Judging from the structure of the barrier… If it’s already this cold outside, the cold around Ruin Castle must be even worse.”
No one could blame Lorelai for accepting Angela’s proposal and refusing to attack. But Lorelai shook her head.
“Italy is currently in a situation where the gates are open in several cities and there is a shortage of hunters. If we refuse, the raid will be delayed for a few days or weeks while looking for a new hunter.”
Lorelei said calmly, looking at Ruin Castle with narrow eyes in a blurry field of vision.
“Lewis is going to get stronger at a rapid pace during that time. Those who escaped the city during that time will suffer, losing their daily lives.”
Lorelai shook her head.
“There would be no point in accumulating knowledge and becoming a Hunter if you turned away from their pain because it was dangerous.”
As a blessing for humanity, a hunter born with strong abilities saves the citizens. It was one of the five commandments that all hunters memorized when joining the association, and in a way it was a promise that made society last.
“My thoughts were brief. Thinking of giving up the attack because of some danger…”
Angela was thrilled.
How could your party leader be so strong? How can such a small body confidently withstand the expectations and pressures of a country?
“This Angela… I will risk my life to assist Lorelai.”
In the midst of Angela’s respect for the party leader, Lorelai hesitated and asked a question uncharacteristically.
“That… Angela. Did I say that Gaon’s party is coming tomorrow?”
‘As expected, Lorelai-nim! It looks like you’re already itching to attack…’
Angela nodded with a smile at Lorelai’s question.
“yes! Not only Gaon, but also a member of a famous guild, a hunter named Yuwol, will arrive by tomorrow with his assistant.”
The fact that Gaon’s party is coming means that Shin Yoo-seong, the head of the party, is also coming.
‘The knight went to Volterra…’
Lorelai lowered her head, her round eyes shining with anticipation. Lorelei couldn’t sleep well for a while because of the remnants of the new meteor that kept coming up after the final battle at the Clock Tower.
If she fell into a deep sleep, a dream full of roses always greeted her.
Is it because of the creativity that has been honed by a huge amount of extensive reading? The repertoire of stories was also very diverse.
It’s common, but it’s like a knight and a princess who are close to the royal road. Like the nobles of the hostile faction who are opposed by the family. Or, more dramatic and heartbreaking, there were cases of royalty born in an enemy country.
‘Defeat the bad queen with the knight. And the two of them…’
A really cool story just thinking about it.
Lorelai was already heartbroken at the thought of meeting Shin Yoo-seong.
Of course, Lorelei wasn’t the only one interested in Gaon’s party members.
‘If it’s Gaon, Kim Eun-ah will… come, right?’
It was the same with Angela who couldn’t sleep after the national competition. The intense blow that knocked him down and his blinding beauty.
‘In addition, she has a personality that makes me want to tease her a lot…’
How good would it have been if Kim Eun-ah had been a student at Clock Tower Academy instead of Gaon? Angela was full of regret after breaking up with Kim Eun-ah.
However, I thought that this attack, which happened to be in cooperation with Gaon, was an opportunity given by heaven.
‘I want to see you soon…’
* * *
Is it because it’s cold winter?
‘What is this creepy feeling…’
Kim Eun-ah woke up to a strange sensation of chills and a chill all over her body.
‘I prepared something in advance and it went well.’
It was early in the morning when the sun hadn’t even risen yet, but Kim Eun-ah got up from the sofa.
Then, Eunah Kim carefully opened the room’s door and checked Velvet and Adela who were sleeping.
‘It’s been a year since I’ve seen this guy… It’s been such a long and short time.’
At first, it was just a simple rival. To Kim Eun-ah, who has been winning first place ever since she was young, Adela was the first huge wall she encountered.
fast triggering speed.
Powerful mana efficiency.
In addition, Adela’s ice ability to block electricity was like a natural enemy to Kim Eun-ah.
To Kim Eun-ah, Adela was just a strong being. I wanted to win and press the bridge of my nose someday.
So, I had never even dreamed of Adela’s weak side.
‘But…’
Now the story was different.
Kim Eun-ah got to know Adela and saw many aspects she did not know. He also learned that Adela suffered more than he did.
The loss of her brother, even for a moment, was so sad, but how did Adela feel?
Adela was one of the few survivors of Volterra’s winter and was a witness to that hell.
‘You didn’t want to avoid it?’
However, even when she asked this question, Kim Eun-ah already knew the answer. This wasn’t something I could run away from.
Adela was no longer a child. He was a decent Hunter. Louise, the witch of winter, wakes up again in front of Adela as if she were making fun of her.
So there is no avoiding it. What Adela needed right now was courage and support.
‘What a joke of fate.’
Kim Eun-ah let out a long sigh and left the room. Then, one by one, he put the things he had prepared into Adela’s pocket.
Brisket-
The first thing Kim Eun-ah chose was a hot pack. If you ask why it’s a hot pack, of course there was a reason.
[This is the 10th defeat. Give up now.]
Kim Eun-ah, who had been defeated by Adela as usual that day, collapsed on the floor with an expression of resentment. How can I break that ice that defends on all sides? While thinking about it, Kim Eun-ah saw it.
[Ho-ho-]
The scene where Adela, who got out of the arena, took out a hot pack and warmed her hands while blowing ho-ho- even her breath.
‘That guy. I’m secretly sensitive to the cold on the subject of dealing with ice…’
How on earth do you use your abilities while being sensitive to the cold like that? How did she survive the winter of Volterra, which was said to be so cold while being so cold-resistant?
‘…therefore. Let’s put a bunch of hot packs that guy likes.’
Although the hot pack is short-lived, it will emit hot heat and melt tired Adela.
Sueuk-
Of course, the hot pack was just the beginning.
Among the items Kim Eun-ah prepared were fur gloves Sumire woven herself, and a lucky charm made with a picture taken with Velvet and everyone with an analog camera.
In addition, the odds and ends prepared by Kim Eun-ah, from special chocolates to fur coats at exorbitant prices, went into pockets endlessly.
Although it may have meaning, this was a form of support from Kim Eun-ah to Adela.
After a long fight against the disease, her brother woke up, and now she was free from trauma, so it was possible.
Juseom Juseom-
Kim Eun-ah, who was busy putting things in her pockets, stopped moving. Maybe it’s because I’ve become accustomed to walking. Kim Eun-ah could tell who the other person was without having to check the other person’s face.
“I guess you weren’t sleeping?”
“huh. On days when I have something important to do, I go for a walk at dawn. Then, Eun-ah, you…”
Kim Eun-ah scratched her cheek with an embarrassed expression at Shin Yoo-seong’s unexpected appearance.
“It’s embarrassing for nothing…”
Seeing Kim Eun-ah spread out her seat on the floor and put things in her hand, Shin Yoo-seong smiled and sat beside her.
“Don’t worry Eunah. Now Adela is not alone.”
Shin Yoo-seong was right.
Adela was no longer a 5-year-old girl left alone in the cold winter, and Shin Yoo-seong was no longer a 5-year-old abandoned by her parents.
Adela’s reason for visiting Volterra was to attack witches as a hunter. Adela was no longer a lost child.
“Don’t worry.”
Maybe thanks to that, Kim Eun-ah answered with a determined voice and looked at Shin Yoo-seong. To Kim Eun-ah, Shin Yoo-seong was always the solver. A solver who solves problems that seem impossible to others so easily.
“Just like you saved my brother this time… you will save Adela.”
It’s not the only thing she’s worried about, but Shin Yoo-seong nodded as if she knew her heart, and Kim Eun-ah was about to sigh again.
How the hell are you doing this to be so caring and trustworthy?
I wanted to ask why there were so many women around you, from yourself and Sumire to Adela. Kim Eun-ah couldn’t do that.
‘…That’s why I fell in love with this guy.’
Wouldn’t it be a little better if we dismissed it as something that this guy was born with and couldn’t help?
“Because winter break is short. You must win and come back soon, you know?”
So, in order to be faithful to the relationship between the two even now, Kim Eun-ah proudly put a pod on Shin Yoo-seong’s hand.
“And… you can’t get too close just because it’s just the two of you.”
In addition, Kim Eun-ah, unlike before, expressed her jealousy with honesty. Considering Kim Eun-ah’s shy personality, it was a remarkable change.
“huh.”
Shin Yoo-seong replied immediately.
If someone asked what it was strength to protect and what strength it was for, Shin Yoo-seong could confidently answer.
He said that the reason he developed his strength was to protect his precious people and was strong for this moment.
“I’ll be right back.”
With the oath of Shin Yoo-seong, white snow fell from the sky. The harsh winter that was recorded in the century came again, but there was nothing to fear.
