The Unfettered Ice Princess [ EN ]

Chapter 98 [ Threadvision ]

"Hihihi, okay... I'll tell you one thing as a present for our meeting," the butterfly replied cheerfully.

"If it continues like this, that good friend you don't care about and the rest of his guild, will die together on 27th Floor and start a new Great War Tower."

Mika's eyes were perfectly round. She was on the verge of shock and disbelief. Mika was honestly confused right now.

"......."
A moment's pause gave her time to think.

What was that butterfly talking about exactly? Was it true? Her friend was going to die? Why did the butterfly approach her and tell her about it? Who was the butterfly and what was its purpose? Thinking about it now was an exercise in futility. Those questions she could find out later. What Mika really wanted the answer to was now...

"You..."
Mika tried to find the right words.

"Moving for whom?" she asked, startling the butterfly.

"..... Why do you ask that? Aren't there more important things to ask?" replied the butterfly with another question.

With a smug face, Mika replied.
"You don't know who I am when you came to see me? I may not be Rokka Ranker. But when it comes to information, I'm one of the top."

"Don't underestimate me," she taced.

"Information like that, I can find out myself."

The butterfly was left speechless in awe. The butterfly, or the person behind the butterfly smiled happily.
"If you're that good, can't you figure it out?"

Mika let out a small breath.
"With my Nova, I haven't been able to access detailed ranker information. How do I know who's behind you if I don't even know you?"

"Ara? You're so honest," said Butterfly.
"She knew I was a ranker in just a few seconds? Hihihi..."

"Sou desu ne... Who am I moving for? Hmm... How about this?"
The butterfly flew around Mika.

"Think of me as a miner who pulls gold out of abandoned mines so that those who know its value can obtain it."

Mika, "......"
"I knew it. She intends to get me out of the village. Is she from that guild?"

"..... No, if she was from that guild, she wouldn't have talked to me like this. Besides--"

She looked deeply at the butterfly.
"-- the energy that created that butterfly... It wasn't Nova. But Veeha?"

Mika turned around and walked away from the butterfly.
"Ah, sou. If you want that, I happen to be thinking the same thing."

"I do want to leave the village."

"But not to save anyone or work for anyone."

"You could die..." said the butterfly.

"All Conquerors die sooner or later," Mika replied indifferently.

"You really don't want to help your friend?" asked the butterfly.

"N."

"Your friend will die, you know..."

"She died because she was weak. Her own fault."

"Arara..."

Despite being ignored to that extent, the person behind the butterfly chuckled. Before that person removed the butterfly and turned it back into Veeha. That person told Mika one last thing.

"Well, whatever you decide, no one can influence you."

"But if you want to save your friend... Find out all information about 'Glacial Princess' before day changes. She is only one who can help you save your friend and avenge your enemy."
