Chapter 157

"Why? Are you here to find the Snow Woman?"

The boss's wife spoke more and more eerily, putting on a terrifying expression on her aged face as if telling a ghost story, which could be described as vivid and expressive.

It seemed she often used these strange tales to scare tourists staying at the guesthouse.

"I still advise you, it's best not to actively look for the Snow Woman, especially for a handsome and strong man like you."

"Maybe the Snow Woman will take a fancy to you, and then take you back to a cave to be permanently frozen~"

"And then, kiss every day..."

"Oh ho ho~"

After the story was finished, the boss's wife left with a strange laugh, leaving only the videotape of 'Love of the Snow Woman'.

Akaso Kaze curled his lip.

If the Snow Woman were really like the legend, that would be great.

Stunning appearance, snow-white skin... I wonder what it tastes like?

Akaso Kaze was quite looking forward to it.

As for the danger... Akaso Kaze just chuckled.

Ever since he blew up two big thieves with one fireball, he had been relieved.

In this age of the end of magic, it was hard to find a decent opponent.

I hope this Snow Woman doesn't disappoint me.

Akaso Kaze thought while inserting the videotape into the player, watching the TV series with relish.

"Even if my body disappears, my soul will one day be resurrected along with the white snow!"

On the TV, a woman in white with a tragic appearance jumped into a large lake, and pale yellow ending credits slowly appeared in the cold, biting sky.

Unknowingly, the TV series 'Love of the Snow Woman' was finished.

The story in 'Love of the Snow Woman' had almost nothing to do with the Snow Woman; it was a revenge story of a woman with "Snow" in her name who was framed by enemies and betrayed by her lover.

In the middle of the story, the Snow Woman was forced to jump off a cliff, issuing a snow declaration that she would return.

Afterward, it was the story of her turning into a fierce ghost to lure her past-life enemies and finally completing her revenge.

Akaso Kaze had seen plenty of such 'cool' dramas where the protagonist is abused and then gains a golden finger for revenge.

However, the female lead was very beautiful, which made Akaso Kaze stick to the end.

"You must be Miss Akiko and Miss Yoko, I've been waiting for a long time."

The boss's voice came from the entrance.

Then came the voices of two women.

"Yoko, do we really have to stay here? What's good about this hotel?"

"But there's nowhere else to stay, and the bus is gone now."

Akaso Kaze frowned slightly.

These two names sounded familiar.

He got up and walked out.

The moment they saw Akaso Kaze, the two women at the door both had their eyes light up.

Two pairs of eyes stared at Akaso Kaze's face at the same time.

Then, both of their pretty faces flushed red, and they looked away.

[Ding, Kinoshita Akiko has developed affection for you; current affection level is 1.]

[Ding, Asanuma Yoko has developed affection for you; current affection level is 1.]

Ah?

It had been a long time since he had met such shallow women.

And two at once, how rare.

Seeing Akaso Kaze, Akiko, who had some objections, immediately stopped talking about leaving.

She blinked her big eyes, stealing glances at Akaso Kaze.

"Wow! It really is the person himself!" The boss's wife ran out upon hearing the sound.

"You are the star Kinoshita Akiko who played the 'Snow Woman' in the TV series 'Love of the Snow Woman', right!"

"I recognized you!"

"Husband! This is the TV star Kinoshita Akiko herself!"

Listening to the boss's wife's cheers, Asanuma Yoko, who was left aside, showed a trace of jealousy in her eyes.

"That scene where you jumped into the lake was acted so well, it almost took my heart into the lake with you!"

At the dinner table, the boss's wife kept praising Kinoshita Akiko.

Kinoshita Akiko didn't take the credit, smiling and introducing Asanuma Yoko next to her.

"Actually, the actor who shot the lake-jumping scene wasn't me, it was Yoko who jumped."

"Yoko is my exclusive stunt double, many of my high-difficulty dangerous actions are completed by her."

"To me, she is like my shadow."

"So that's it, no wonder the two of you are traveling together," the boss said with a smile, "A shadow certainly can't be separated from the body! Hahahaha!"

Asanuma Yoko appeared to be laughing along on the surface, but inwardly she was secretly fuming.

Shadow?

The shadow is going to usurp the throne tomorrow!

Akaso Kaze watched her expression, his eyebrows twitching slightly.

This seemed to be a murder case.

But it didn't have much to do with him.

Should he intervene?

Thinking about it, Koizumi Akako would be here tomorrow.

Then it would be going up the snow mountain to fight monsters.

Maybe there wouldn't be any time at all.

Then forget it.

Life and death are determined by fate, wealth is in the hands of heaven.

Everyone has their own destiny.

Who lives and who dies depends on their own luck.

Akaso Kaze picked up his wine glass and drank it in one gulp, causing Kinoshita Akiko to steal another two glances at him.

The next morning, Koizumi Akako didn't come.

Akaso Kaze called her, and it was actually turned off.

Ah?

Was he stood up?

Or did something happen on the way?

Akaso Kaze frowned slightly.

He tried using prediction magic, and Koizumi Akako was fine.

However, the direction she was moving wasn't toward here, but zigzagging.

After watching for a long time, Akaso Kaze suddenly understood.

This girl wouldn't be... lost, would she?

A dignified mage is actually bad with directions?

Akaso Kaze was standing in the living room hesitating whether to go pick her up when Kinoshita Akiko pushed the door open and came out.

Seeing Akaso Kaze, her eyes lit up.

"Are you going skiing too?" she asked in a low voice.

"Me? I haven't decided yet."

Akaso Kaze turned his head to look at her.

"Why don't you come with us."

Kinoshita Akiko's fair face flushed slightly.

Akaso Kaze felt a stir in his heart looking at the girl.

Koizumi Akako didn't come, so he had time.

This... it seems to be fate.

Anyway, that lost girl won't freeze, so I'll go have some fun.

Asanuma Yoko walked over from behind, handed the ski suit hood and goggles to Akiko, and the two of them put them on.

Akaso Kaze said with a smile, "You guys look like bank robbers!"

"As for this, because we actors are most afraid of the sun."

Kinoshita Akiko's delicate voice came from under the mask.

Seeing Akaso Kaze following behind, Asanuma Yoko frowned secretly.

Must find a way to shake him off, otherwise the plan can't proceed.

The three of them walked out of the hotel and took the transport lift directly from the bottom of the mountain to the middle ski slope.

The sky cleared after the snow, and looking down from above, the pure white world was boundless.

The snow surface was inclined and smooth, making it easy to slide.

However, if you accidentally hit the trees on the side, it wouldn't be a pleasant thing.

Akaso Kaze, of course, wouldn't have such an embarrassing thing happen.

A Wind-Walking Technique made him move on the snow as if on flat ground.

Asanuma Yoko's skiing technique was good, but Kinoshita Akiko's was very average.

Holding ski poles, her legs fixed on the skis trembled slightly, and they involuntarily spread to the sides.

"Ah? Akaso-san, move aside quickly~"
