The Unfettered Ice Princess [ EN ]

Chapter 19 [ New Friend ]

"N-Naeva... Next time... Please tell me before you do that... Please... Ugh..." Ophelia said.

The girl held her nauseous stomach. Her eyes were still twinkling. It felt like she could throw up at any moment.

"Weak," Naeva replied.

Ophelia, "💢"

"Yeah, sorry! I thought I wasn't the one who was good at this attraction!"
Ophelia was annoyed at being called weak by Naeva. She was even more annoyed because Naeva said it without expression.

It hadn't been long since they were still awkward and kept their distance. But it didn't take long for the two of them to become more relaxed in front of each other. Not because of what, the reason was simple. Because the two of them never crossed the boundaries set by each other. That's why they can act more comfortable.

"The important thing is that we crossed successfully," Naeva said defensively.

"......"
Ophelia was speechless. It was true, thanks to Naeva they could cross over and get closer to the other team. But that's not the way to do it!

Naeva could actually fly, and she could also walk on air. She just didn't do it because the ability to fly is something conspicuous. So Naeva thought of another way for them to cross. And at that moment, she happened to see giant birds flying here and there over the cliff. Without thinking twice, Naeva took advantage of the bird by throwing an ice rope on the bird's leg, holding Ophelia by the waist, and with her floated to another land.

Perhaps Ophelia could still accept it if Naeva had done it after consulting with her. Unfortunately it happened when Ophelia was still thinking and there was no preparation at all. By the time she realized it, she was already in the sky and jumped several times each bird change until she finally reached the cliff they were heading for.

Without any guilt, Naeva patted Ophelia on the back.
"Look."

"....?"
Ophelia's golden eyes turned in the same direction as Naeva. It could be seen that they were very close to the other team. In fact, it was so close that the other team saw them too.

"Uhh... Next time I have to pay attention to Naeva. This girl has no common sense because of Irregulars," Ophelia thought tiredly.

Of course being approached suddenly in such a craz-- ekhm, unique way made the other team's vigilance increase. Some of them had already taken stances. Uncle emm... usual in the front holding tightly to his claymore. The big, muscular uncle at the back thrust out his double shot. The cute Shota in the back yawned on her giant pillow. Meanwhile, the girl Ophelia was looking at just stood there staring at them.

Smiling casually, the girl said to her colleagues.
"It's okay. They're not enemies."

Her comrades listened to the girl as if they had been told. They re-holstered their weapons.

TAP TAP TAP TAP

Ophelia and the girl walked over. None of their party members stopped them. After only 2 m remained, Ophelia opened the conversation.

"What do you mean 'we're not your enemies'?" Ophelia asked to the point.

The girl with a white cat tail and dark brown ears clad in a skimpy yet luxurious outfit answered Ophelia.
"We don't need to fight, right? The ruby we have is enough to make everyone here escape."

"Oh yeah? What if I want more for the bonus prize?" replied Ophelia.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you," she said.

Ophelia smiled sarcastically, "And why? There's no reason for me to don't do that."

The girl's eyes that had been closed began to open.
"There's nothing in it for you to fight with us."
