Volume 3 Chapter 102: The Even More Frightening Her
Ice Emperor, the most frustrating holiday of the year is approaching, and most people are miserable. When the Ice Emperor's absolute command comes down, their lives... turn gray!
"Aiya? How unglamorous! Ice Emperor's, all of you, teach this great master how to ride a bike before the Cycling Festival!"
Through broadcasting, Kageyama Tobio's words echoed in everyone's mind, like a cursed sound. And so, the Ice Emperor's tribulation has arrived!
(Note: Here, Ice Emperor refers to the central part of the Ice Empire, which is actually Keiichi's territory! The high school department belongs to Akio Fuyu's territory. Although the junior high and high school departments belong to the same school, in this article, they are like two aristocratic academies. This time, the Cycling Festival does not include the high school department.)
The ninja, Shinobu, was smiling mysteriously beside Kageyama. Indeed, for the sake of both Hinata and himself, Kageyama's people would have to endure a little more, and it was only fitting that he overcame this unglamorous holiday.
Kazuo Kizu came out of the broadcast room and was met with a girl who walked towards him, looking shy and tense, holding a bento box. Anyone would be able to predict what's going to happen next in this scene. The Ice Emperor's girl is still so bold nowadays.
"Traces... Traces Department SAMA, this is the breakfast I made for you..." The girl finally mustered up her courage and handed the bento to Kageyama Tobio's face, her small face nervous yet full of expectation, a look that could be seen through at a glance.
Kageo Tsubone stopped in front of her, finally looking like an emperor passing by a humble commoner, accompanied by disdainful words, "What a nuisance, an unglamorous mother cat!"
The Ice Emperor treated the girl with the same attitude as a humble and unpretentious mother cat, but it still made her face pale, and her hand holding the bento box trembled slightly.
He put one hand in his pocket, charmingly smiling at the battered girl, usually playing ambiguous games, would have a little thought to comfort the girl, even if it wasn't the infatuated flower. He just silently smiled and followed the proud Ice Emperor on the other side.
They're just ordinary mother cats after all.
The scorching sunlight of a summer morning was already so intense that it could burn the girl who stood still, her spirit wounded.
She is the Ice Emperor's SAMA, a true and worthy Ice Emperor, who views women as mother cats. Those who do not conform to his aesthetic are unrefined, arrogant, self-absorbed, and boisterous, but this person is the object of their faith and pride. Every step he takes seems like a king inspecting his territory. The moment she first saw him, she was completely smitten.
How many people admire that Ice Emperor King, he is the eternal white prince in the eyes of the Ice Emperor's girls, but unfortunately his proud and sharp gaze will never be gentle and affectionate to the person who utters the word "mother cat" from his mouth, and so far the only girl who has not been called "mother cat" by him is just one, that girl known as the Ice Emperor Princess...
Who has ever seen the proud Ice Emperor humbly protect someone like that, just like his other extremely popular princes? But that girl somehow managed to do it, and she's not even jealous of the girls who are envied by everyone in the Ice Emperor's school.
It was her fault, knowing it was impossible, yet wanting to get close to him, that thorny noble rose would willingly not hurt anyone, there is only one person like that, but it will never be the person who looks at him with disappointment behind his back. That thorny noble rose opens its gorgeous petals only for the person in front of him to give him his protection, his tenderness, his... all uniqueness.
"Haha......" A dry laugh sounded from a short distance away. The disheartened girl was startled and looked over, and what entered her eyes was...
Is it that girl...?
If the princess of Ice Emperor is a person who is pampered and protected by the emperor, then the girl in front of her is a plaything that the emperor would trample under his feet for the sake of his beloved, wanting to crush her into pulp. The difference between them is like heaven and mud.
How could she not be tragic, from start to finish? This girl didn't really hurt the Ice Emperor Princess that much, yet she had already received treatment that ordinary people couldn't bear.
The girl standing there had a very pale and haggard face, with a sarcastic and powerless smile. "Hey, don't dream about any princes in the tennis club anymore, ah, especially the most dazzling Ice Emperor, you dust wanting to seize the stars, is that possible? Hehe... hehe..."
The girl holding the bento box trembled her lips, but couldn't say a word and stood there, with dullness in her eyes. Sometimes she just can't help but want to get close to the one she deeply loves. What's wrong with that?
"What's wrong with you, is that you're in love with someone who doesn't love you back, and that person already has a sweetheart. The prince you fell in love with will become a devil to torture you for the sake of others, that's where you're wrong!" The girl's voice was extremely sarcastic, was she self-deprecating or mocking others?
The girl holding the bento stiffened and her hands tightened slightly.
How could you not know, once there's even a slight possibility that the girl who can hurt the emperor's heart exists, it means your tragic life has truly begun. What you're experiencing now is just the pain of a broken heart, but later on, it will be a deeper heartache, and it will also come with physical harm... This is what they call double torment of body and mind...
The girl with a sarcastic expression in front of me is an example...
When the prince in people's eyes falls in love with the princess, for the sake of the princess, he can hurt others who deeply love him without hesitation, as long as his loved one is safe and sound in his arms. It doesn't matter what's right or wrong; in the prince's heart, protecting his beloved is already the most correct thing in the world. He doesn't need to love everyone, nor does the proud prince need to humble himself for anyone else!
It's one thing to understand this principle, but it's another thing to be able to stay away from the one you love. Even if his radiance would scorch her skin, her eyes, and even her heart, being able to breathe in the air around him is a kind of happiness.
The girl with a sarcastic expression finally turned and left.
A foolish person is beyond help. If you haven't personally experienced that terrible treatment, you won't discover how ruthless the prince you adore can be for the sake of what he loves!
And she, Far Water Rain Clean, is afraid of the tennis department prince, and even more afraid of that Ice Emperor princess.
She, who was humble and unassuming, encountered the other girl who was full of elegance and poise, and she was taken aback, also shrinking back. She didn't want to enter the space where that girl was, and she even feared that the princes would suffer even more terrible torment because of her appearing in that girl's line of sight. So she wanted to turn around and leave.
But why did she remain motionless, watching the girl on the other side blinking her clear eyes and talking to the person beside her with a warm and gentle smile, a soft gaze, an elegant figure like a lotus flower, everything shrouded in dazzling light, while she herself was pale and haggard like a vampire who couldn't bear the light.
She is so beautiful, she is so popular, all the people around her are thinking of her and dedicating their sincerity to her. How can she not attract the princes? All those who try to replace that girl's position are very ridiculous. How could they possibly replace such a girl? Even if another person with similar elegance appears, it is impossible to occupy the princes' line of sight. It's just because this girl has already been engraved in their hearts. Are the princes' emotions really so unstable? Once they fall in love, they will be deeply attached and won't move, nor do they want to move.
When the girl noticed her gaze coming over, she was still blinking in confusion, as if she didn't recognize her appearance...
A distant rain cleanses the dryness with a smile, and with great effort, turns to leave.
Yes, there's no use blaming that girl, for she had no strength to blame an enemy who didn't even remember her.
I only hope that the person who came back will not bring about their own downfall. The prince of the tennis club is no longer someone she can protect, they have all become too terrifying, and the one who changed them is even more terrifying.
……
The people of the Ice Emperor were trying to learn how to ride a bike, but it was a miserable sight. Everyone had injuries all over their bodies, and they found it extremely difficult to learn this "evil" skill that was looked down upon by the noble children. However, no one dared to disobey the orders of Tsubasa Jingū, for since he became the Ice Emperor, no one could ignore his leadership position anymore.
Irie Yuu sat beside Kaji Eri and let out a sigh of relief, fortunately she knew how to ride a bike. Looking at Hyodo's struggles to learn how to ride, she had silently chanted "Amen" countless times. Speaking of which, was riding really that difficult...?
"Huh? What a tacky lunchbox! Don't ever let me see something that doesn't belong to me on my desk again!" Kageyama Tobio disdainfully pulled out the lunchbox from his drawer, which he had no idea who sent it, and was about to throw it away when a voice came from the doorway. "Hey, Tobio, I went to great lengths to make that lunchbox, can you bear to throw it away?"
Such a beautiful voice sounded, and the people in Class 3A couldn't help but widen their eyes to look at the door, Ah!
Just for the familiarity and intimacy in that tone of voice!
Which dowdy cat mother dares to be so familiar with him?!
Kazekiri Kageo's movements froze, and even the Shinobi froze, all looking towards the entrance. The elegant and beautiful girl from that memory appeared, her chestnut-colored long hair reaching her waist, wearing an Ice Emperor school uniform skirt. Her coffee-colored eyes blinked once when she saw Kazekiri Kageo and Shinobi looking over, revealing a sly glint.
The Ice Emperor's lips seemed to twitch slightly as he withdrew his gaze, and with a flick of his wrist, the trash can was tossed aside!
The sound of "pa da" was very noticeable in the quiet classroom, and everyone in the class had an expression that seemed to say "of course", how could their Ice Emperor possibly treat any girl other than the Ice Emperor's princess specially!
However, the people in Takeru's class looked at the girl who suddenly changed her expression at the door and realized that they knew her. She was the manager of the Ice Emperor tennis club who had disappeared for a while.
The manager of the Ice Emperor's tennis department is actually Far Water Yu Ruo, the sister of Far Water Yu Jie. Because she is Far Water Yu Jie's sister, many people don't dare to provoke Far Water Yu Jie, and also because Far Water Yu Jie herself has ways to deal with people, and her sister supports her from behind.
What kind of existence is Yuanshui Yurou? She is a gentle and beautiful elegant girl in front of people, but behind the scenes, she uses Yuanshui Jie's hands to strike down various perverts as her strategist. Although she plays the role of a protective older sister, being both gentle and powerful, she thought it was a great role that would attract men, however, the Ice Emperor's people have never been moved by her protection.
Yuanshui Yu Ruo thinks that no matter how bad Yuanshui Yu Jie is, she is still her sister and it's only natural to protect her. So in front of others, she will naturally have a great image. However, no matter how smart she is, she doesn't think about the fact that the person she is protecting is someone who has always used various means to deal with infatuated people without mercy, and even treats others who are not pleasing to her eyes with extreme arrogance and disdain. So this good sister image of hers will only be helping a villain, and any protection she gives is just supporting the notorious Yuanshui Yu Jie.
This is what Yu Shuiyu couldn't figure out, but it was actually the real reason she became unpopular in Bing Di.
Well, although she's been gone for a while, the Judo Club is no longer hers as president. Although her influence remains, if she wants to exert it, that depends on whether the current president, Kuwata Fuka, allows it or not! Kuwata Fuka took over the presidency from Tōka Nami, so you could say these two are rivals, unknown to others, and sworn enemies.
The distant water rain gently shone in her eyes, restoring their gentle and elegant appearance. She walked up to Toubu Jingwu with her backpack, "Hey, Jingwu, I'm back for class. But why is someone sitting in my seat?"
Yu Ruoyan gazed at Jiang You with a gentle smile that wasn't quite a smile, making the latter's back feel chilly. "Hehe, what are you doing?" she asked. "The young lady didn't provoke you! This seat was assigned to her by someone else!" Besides, aren't there other seats available? The one on Nianzhu Yushi's right side is empty, isn't it?
Ji Bu Jingwu leaned back in his chair, raised his chin and shot a sharp, piercing gaze at Yuan Shui Yu Rong, as if he wanted to pierce her heart. Even though Yuan Shui Yu Rong was used to it, she still felt a little nervous. She tried to put on a gentle smile to conquer the icy emperor's heart, but all she heard was him saying with an extremely displeased tone, "Ah? Unrefined mother cat! When did you get permission to call me by my name?"
Yu Ruoyu's face stiffened slightly, wanting to say something, but Ji Bu Jingwu didn't want to listen. "Uncouth stray cat! Find your own seat! Don't bother me!"
"Hmph, did she think I'd be bored enough to help her grab back her seat?"
"Hey, this classmate, this seat was originally mine. Can you return it to me? You can go sit somewhere else..."
Her voice was soft and sweet, but what she said was unbearable! Is this the rhythm of driving people away?!
Ruoyi felt that the girl wasn't as popular as she thought, and she didn't seem to be afraid either. She glanced at her and said, "Hmph, does this seat have your name on it? Someone else told me to sit here, if you're capable, go tell them to let me switch seats, then I'll switch!"
"…what?" Yuanshui Yu Ruo was almost furious, who is this person? Doesn't she know her place in the Ice Emperor's domain? She actually dares to confront her in front of so many people!
"You can't understand what I'm saying? That's your IQ problem, I won't repeat myself!" Yu Shi rolled her eyes and ignored her.
Yu Ru's eyes narrowed as she gazed at the girl who didn't seem to care about her, "Who let you sit here?" Was there someone backing her up from behind? She had to figure it out first.
Yue Shi's body stiffened slightly, and the person who flashed in her mind made her heart very bitter. She raised her eyes to look at this girl, and hummed softly, "The brother of the Ice Emperor Princess, you go find out his name yourself!"
Next time, why can't the girl say the name of Lin Xiangru! O(╯□╰)o
“...Ice Emperor Princess?” Yuanshui Yurou found it difficult to say these four words, her face ultimately looking a bit ugly. No matter how hard she tried to play the role of an Ice Emperor Princess, she still didn't even have a fan club. Who was it that had risen to power in the time she had disappeared?
Insufficient intelligence grasp, this uncontrollable scene makes her want to hit people! Why doesn't Far Water Rain Jing mention it to her at all?
No, far water can't be used for cleaning!
"Sister, Ice Emperor is now different from before, you need to be mentally prepared..."
"I'm telling you, Xiaojie, you didn't just realize that Sister is not going to lose now, did you?" She thought that among the girls of Bing Di, except for that arch-nemesis, the others were no match! Fortunately, that person had no intentions towards the tennis club members! Otherwise, she would have many battles to fight!
"...do as you like, but if you find someone you can't surpass, don't provoke them..."
"I said Xiaojie, when did you become so distrustful of your sister? Or are you looking down on me?"
"No, I'm just reminding you"
"Hmph, then take back your cowardice! Just be my shield!"
Yu Ruoyan sneered at herself, trampling on the ground beneath her feet. She thought about how she couldn't listen to her sister's reminders no matter what, and only when she had truly learned a lesson would she understand that some things were not for people like them to have.
The Ice Emperor's sky had long since changed, the national middle school was the domain of the Ice Emperor King and also the domain of the Ice Emperor Princess. What's more, the latter was even more terrifying because she had the unconditional protection of the Ice Emperor King and other princes. As for the high school department, there were already rumors that the student council president, Kaito Minamoto, who originally didn't get along with the Ice Emperor Princess, had been treating his own sister specially.
"Hey, dear sister, Ice Emperor's sky has changed long ago. If you can't see the situation clearly, you'll only bring about your own downfall."
She is human after all and can't protect you completely like a real shield. She no longer dares to get in touch with those people again.
