Third-Chapter Title: Left Zero, Right Fire! Thunder God, Help Me! / Fourth-Chapter Title: Let Those Who Break Their Word Suffer the Punishment of Stone!

What?

There are four people now?

Isn't it normal for a three-person team to have four people?

Right, Yuki?

Left Zero Right Fire! Thunder God, Aid Me!

A few minutes later.

Jarilo-VI.

The four of them successfully arrived on this planet.

Snowflakes drifted through the air, and the land was utterly silent.

The vast white snow resembled a flawless canvas, redrawing everything anew.

The cold wind howled, whipping up layer after layer of snow like a white whirlwind dancing wildly across the plains.

Everything here was covered in pristine white snow.

"Wow, it really is a land of ice and snow," March Seven remarked.

"It really is a land of ice and snow."

"You're a repeater!" March Seven complained about Star's behavior.

The criticized Star wore a blank cat-like expression, but this little kitty soon curiously looked around.

She realized someone was missing.

When she turned around, she found Lin Nai crouching nearby, playing with the snow.

Star tilted her head and walked over.

At the same time, she picked up some snow from the ground and ate it.

Star smacked her lips. It was cold and tasteless.

Conclusion: not tasty.

"Lin Nai."

"It's Star. What is it?"

"What are you doing?" Star crouched down with her arms around her knees and poked Lin Nai in the waist.

"Building a snowman?"

That was what people who had never seen snow were like.

When they came to a place like this, naturally they wanted to try everything.

If circumstances allowed, he would have thrown himself into the snow and rolled around.

Star did not quite understand. She was just a baby who had been "born" not long ago.

But she was willing to play with Lin Nai.

Probably because it seemed fun.

"What are you two... doing?"

March Seven turned around and saw the two building a snowman, question marks practically appearing over her head.

She had been discussing what to do next with Dan Heng, only to turn around and find both of them gone.

"Playing in the snow?" Lin Nai tilted his head. "March, do you want to join us too?"

"Sure, sure... my ass! Shouldn't the most important thing right now be dealing with the Stellaron?!"

"Relax, it's just a tiny delay." Lin Nai waved his hand and stood up from the ground.

Lin Nai: "Let's go!"

Star: "Speaking of which, I have a question!"

Lin Nai: "You want to ask something that quietly? Speak up!"

Star shouted, "I have a question!!"

Lin Nai nodded in satisfaction. "Good! Very spirited! What do you want to ask, Star?"

"Why didn't we just land directly at our destination?"

After Star said that.

Dan Heng instinctively looked at March Seven.

"Why are you looking at me!"

"About blasting a hole in the Tyco Amusement Park with the Express, do you want to tell them, or should I?"

"Um..." March Seven's gaze drifted away. "Let's not bring that up..."

Dan Heng shook his head and looked at the two approaching with a huge armful of snow.

"Remember, every step we take must be cautious. We still know very little about this world."

Star threw the snow to the ground and gave a thumbs-up. "It's fine. The four of us can just charge in and slaughter everything!"

"Exactly!" March Seven nodded in agreement. "Lin Nai can solo the Doomsday Beast, there's a Stellaron inside Star's body, and I have my one-of-a-kind Six-Phased Ice!"

"Dan Heng... uh, Dan Heng has some mysterious past that nobody knows about!"

Dan Heng: "..."

"Anyway, anyone who dares cause us trouble will be the unlucky one!"

"They'll be the unlucky one!"

"...Hiss, how long do these repeating symptoms last?" March Seven looked at Star.

Star smiled. "Ehe, you guess?"

"What kind of answer is 'ehe'?"

"Let's go. It's time to set off and burn this planet... to ash."

Lin Nai punched the ground.

"Don't say something that terrifying!" March Seven complained. "And Lin Nai, what are you doing?"

"Wait, there's a treasure chest."

"Huh?"

Right after that.

Lin Nai pulled out his hand and dragged a box from beneath the snow.

"Whoa!"

As though she had teleported, Star appeared in front of Lin Nai and pulled out her baseball bat.

Then, when Lin Nai set the box on the ground.

She impatiently smashed it with one swing.

Bang!!

The chest opened.

Inside was a bag of coins. Their outer rims had golden patterns, while their centers bore silver shields.

"What is this?" Star curiously picked up a coin and asked.

Lin Nai stuffed the bag of coins into the System Space. "Maybe it's this planet's currency."

It was called... Winter City Shields, right?

Belobog's official circulating currency?

"Whoa... how did you do that, Lin Nai?"

"What do you mean?"

"Just casually digging a chest out of the ground." March Seven asked curiously.

Lin Nai looked down at his hand. "No, I just wanted to see how deep the snow was."

"Then I punched down, and happened to hit the chest..."

"...So it was luck."

"Yeah."

Amid all the noise and chatter, the master and three disciples... pfft, the four Trailblazers set off on their journey.

Still, calling them the master and three disciples felt rather fitting to Lin Nai.

Leaving March Seven and Star aside for the moment.

But there was definitely a White Dragon Horse with an accurate positioning system, right, Dan Heng?

Dan Heng: ???

Not long after.

The four surrounded a mound of snow.

"Hey, stop hiding. You're shivering from the cold," March Seven said with her hands on her hips.

The sound of breathing stopped instantly.

March Seven's mouth twitched. "Y-you... staying silent doesn't help either."

"I'll do it."

Lin Nai gestured for the others to move aside a little. He needed to take out a small prop.

"Let me see where it is..." Lin Nai circled the snow mound once.

Finally, he stopped at one spot, two wires appearing in his hand.

"Ahem, Left Zero Right Fire! Thunder God, aid me!" Lin Nai forcefully crossed the two wires and stabbed them into the snow mound.

Item: Left Zero Right Fire (Left Zero was a blue wire, Right Fire was a red wire)

Crossing them released a nonlethal current, but it hurt like hell.

Immediately afterward...

"AOOOOOWWWAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!"

A blue-haired man shot out from the snow mound while clutching his butt, even flying into the sky.

One minute later.

The blue-haired man fell from the sky, landed face-first on the ground, and howled while clutching his butt.

It hurt!

It hurt so much!

For that instant, he felt like he had suddenly gotten hemorrhoids.

He was going to die.

--Scene Break--

PS: Winter City Shields are Belobog's official circulating currency.

After the long years of isolation, the attitudes toward money among the residents of Belobog's Upper and Lower Districts underwent enormous changes.

The exchange rate between Winter City Shields and Credits was still 1:50, apparently.

Those Who Break Their Word Shall Be Punished by Eating Rock!

After a while.
