Chapter 33 Who are you?
Licht silently followed trails from afar with a serious look on his face.
Crunch*
Altho he couldn't camouflage himself like Mikael, but he could use some assassin techniques thanks to Viktor's constant irregular teaching which is very confusing because not only he taught him his magic method, but he also taught swordsmanship, assassin techniques, engineering, and so on.
Cynthia was blowing her hand to warm it up. She rubbed them together and trembled a little due to her weak resistance against cold.
Throw*
Licht threw his coat to her as he gestured for her to wear it.
" Thanks. I was freezing to death."
She said while wearing the coat which was warmed by Licht. She could smell a nice fragrance from the coat.
" Hmm, it is pleasant to smell your smell. You smell better than me."
She said warmly. Licht rolled his eyes and walked silently. He was turning his head back and forth to scout the area. Who knows what was hiding in this boundless snow mountain? It is rather easy to hide in the snow because snow can reflect the light and lessen their presence.
Achoo*
Suddenly, he heard a sneeze sound. Licht quickly reached out for his sword, but he halted his movements after seeing the sneezer. It was Leah. Her bright red hair was covered with frost as she was trembling from the cold. Her eyelashes were frozen enough to shut her eyes.
" Wait, what are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be with Daemon?"
Licht said with suspicion. He was pretty sure that she went out with Daemon. Leah snorted coldly when she heard his name. Her frosty face turned even frostier.
" Don't talk about that fool. He left me out in this brazen mountain."
Leah gritted her teeth with a malevolent face. Her red eyes shone brightly under the sun with strong hatred.
Gulp*
Cynthia gulped and retreated with a few steps. She was terrified of her sudden outburst. She was afraid she would be her target if she do something unnecessary.
As for Licht, he didn't mind her act. He could see why this woman was left behind without Daemon's concern. It was because she was even weaker than Cynthia in cold resistance. Her body wasn't adapted to cold unlike her other colleagues even though she was a kind of an assassin.
Take off*
Licht took off his last remaining coat and he placed it on Leah's body. He frowned and walked towards me without any words.
Leah creased her eyebrows and looked at his back. She couldn't understand why would he do this because there was no profit in there. Instead of her, he would catch a cold and hinder them.
" Hey what are you doing? Take this back. I am not cold. You will catch a cold."
She said with a light tone. Licht waved his hand to gesture to her to forget about it. He wasn't cold thanks to his new ability.
Viktor hummed in his mind.
" That girl is probably an aristocrat. Her body is trained to such a degree. Tsk* She would be a nemesis of ranged-type people like mages and archers."
Licht's mouth curved up as he continued to walk.
As for Cynthia, she tugged Leah's sleeves who was annoyed by both Daemon and Licht's unfamiliar behaviors.
" Forget about it. He is a kind boy who prioritizes others over himself. He wouldn't mind it."
She spoke with a smile on her face. Her words soothed Leah's foul mood. Leah closed her eyes and sighed.
She tightened her coat and followed from behind.
Swoosh*
A girl with hair like Licht rose from the snow. She carefully put her hair aside and looked at Licht with curiosity because she felt a familiar sense of him even though it was the first time seeing him in her life.
" How strange? I have never met him in my life, yet I felt intimate with him. He is a clearly a southern boy. Hmm, is he a descendant of our clan?"
She muttered with a cold look. Her crystal blue eyes were shining brilliantly color. Her curiosity was scratching her innards with an uncontrollable desire to approach him albeit her standings. However, she didn't choose to go to him. Her cherry lips curled up.
" Hmm, this would be an interesting event. Mother said that aunt would need their help, so I had to befriend them."
