Volume Two: Life and Death at Full Speed in the Northern Frontier, Chapter 105: Emilia
Is this someone Ally knows?
Looking in the direction of the sound, we saw four girls of similar age ignoring the queue and going straight to the registration window. But those who were cut in line did not complain at all; instead, they all made way for us.
Leading the group was a stunningly beautiful young woman dressed entirely in red. She had long, fiery red hair, with strands curled into drill-like shapes at the ends—the standard hairstyle for a young lady from anime. Her appearance was indeed radiant, with willow-leaf eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, and a small, cherry-pink mouth. Although she was probably only about the same age as Alice, she was already considered Ally. She wore a gold and red racing suit with a large pink heart embroidered on the chest, which adorned her impressive bust and made her extremely eye-catching.
Beside the red-haired girl was a slightly older, elegant girl with light brown skin. She wore a uniform of the same color and exuded a mature aura. Her beautiful hair was braided into intricate Xinjiang-style braids, giving her a strong exotic charm.
Two more people followed behind them, seemingly twins. The moment I saw them, I was completely stunned—were they really human?
Both of them had black hair and black eyes, pale skin, and beautiful faces as delicate as porcelain dolls, making one want to take them home and fondle them. However, they both had an inhuman feature on their heads—horns. One on each side of their heads, a curved horn grew out of them. The horns were as white and translucent as jade, with fine spiral patterns on them. At first glance, they looked a little eerie, but upon closer inspection, they were pleasing to the eye.
"Oh my god, it's the Abidal Beauties Team!"
"We hadn't heard anything about them signing up, so we thought they'd given up..."
"My goddesses, prprprprprprprprpr~~~~~~~"
"Lady Emilia, I beg to be disciplined! I beg to be insulted! I beg to be trampled upon!"
"Ming-chan Xiang-chan, I love you both so much!!!!!!!!!"
"Messiah, kiss me~~~~~"
The onlookers all wore standard masochistic, adorable expressions; several had already completed the turtle-shell bondage and were kneeling on the ground, begging for punishment... Wait, wait, what is all this nonsense?
"Long time no see, Ally. It seems you're still alive and well."
"Tch... Emilia, as a strong team, why are you so late? Just to create some buzz?"
"Well, it wasn't easy getting here after being besieged by reporters the whole way!"
"It's those two lumps of fat on your chest that're stuck in the door frame, you stinky cow!"
"Grandma, grandma, you're amazing!? You really dare to say that about this basin!"
"It's not a basin! It's just to save fabric!"
Stare~~~~~~~~
Stare~~~~~~~~
Ally and the red-haired girl, Emilia, locked eyes, sparks flying between them. It seems these two have a deep-seated grudge...
"Our captain actually knows the captain of the Abidal Beauties Team. Who would have thought..." Givinia whispered to me.
"Is this team very strong?" I asked.
"That's right, Abidar is a long-established and renowned team. The red-haired one is the team's new captain and driver— Emilia Yotan. The one with light brown skin is the technician Messiah. The twins are the combatant Tani Hana Hibiki and the navigator Tani Hana Mei. They are both Ghost Clan, and their strength should not be underestimated."
"The Ghost Clan..."
Back in the Winter Approaches Mountains, Rui Xin mentioned some things about the ten great demon beast clans. The seventh clan, situated between the Dragon and Phoenix clans, was the Ghost Clan. Although the Ghost Clan were demon beasts, their appearance, except for the horns on their heads, was almost identical to humans. Their intelligence and lifestyle were also nearly identical, and their numbers far exceeded the other nine clans. The Ghost Clan possessed naturally superior physiques compared to humans, and some members even had supernatural abilities. They maintained very close ties with humans, leading many scholars to believe that the Ghost Clan was more like a branch of humanity than a demon beast clan.
This is my first time seeing Ghost Clan Oni race. It seems that it's true that Ghost Clan women are very beautiful; they are simply captivating.
"And also," Givinia continued, "Emilia has only been captain for less than six months, and the team has already won no fewer than ten trophies. Their strength is extraordinary. In addition, all four main players are exceptionally beautiful and are regarded as goddesses and idols by countless men."
No wonder they're called the "Beauty" team by Abidar; their looks certainly live up to the name.
"You've gained weight again! You're already so chubby, yet you're wearing such tight clothes, they're going to burst!"
"Oh dear, oh dear~ Yes, my shoulders are always so sore, and I can't even see my feet when I look down. It's so frustrating~"
"Go to hell! Stop jiggling those fat horns around, you Bactrian camel!"
"Two Bactrian camels!? Wait, aren't the humps on their backs?!"
While I was whispering with Givinia, the two over there were still arguing fiercely. "Weren't you here to register?"
Look closely at these two: one tall, one short; one with huge breasts, one with small breasts; one with a red headdress and multiple diamonds, one with a blonde ponytail; one dressed in gold and red, the other in silver and blue—they're simply...
"A match made in heaven!"
I couldn't help but shout it out.
"Ha!?"
What did you say!?
"Ah..." I misspoke.
"Oh my, are these two your new team members? They don't look very good--hmm?"
Emilia seemed about to mock us, but upon seeing Givinia's smile, she swallowed her words.
"Tsk... I didn't expect that you could still recruit such good-looking team members in your current situation. I'm quite impressed with you..."
She probably intended to show off her beauty, but was quickly put to the test by fellow supermodel Givinia. Come to think of it, in situations like this, you'd usually start by mocking the other person's abilities, but she only looked at their face. Are you a member of the "looks-matter" club?
That said, Ally and Ailin are both exceptionally beautiful girls, Givinia is a stunning beauty, and with me added to the mix, our team's looks are definitely not bad... no, they completely outshine them.
"Tch... Hey, you woman in the hat and scarf!"
Ah, after being humiliated by Givinia, she turned her attention to me.
"What's the point of covering your face the whole time! Didn't you know you had to have your photo taken when you registered? Or are you just too ugly?"
"Uh, just to avoid trouble..."
As soon as he opened his mouth, Emilia's delicate body trembled slightly.
"Your voice is so beautiful..." Tani Hana Hibiki, who had been standing quietly to the side, finally spoke up.
"Indeed, ethereal yet alluring..." Tani Hana Mei replied.
"She's even better than a professional singer," Messiah remarked with a hint of admiration.
"Hey... hey! Why are you taking their side? Help me out too!"
"Stop fooling around, Amy, let's keep things peaceful... sweetie~" Messiah patted Emilia's head like a gentle older sister.
"Do you think I'm a cat?! Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! You! Take off your hat and scarf and let me see! Waaah..."
Ah, her eyes are brimming with tears. Emilia Yotan, who looks like a spoiled young lady, is surprisingly a... goofball.
"Stop fooling around, Amy, hurry up and sign up..." Messiah said with a wry smile.
"... Oh well."
Because she looked so pitiful, I gave in.
"""Ah!?"""
"Really? Um, you must have some unspeakable reason, right? I was also wrong earlier, so don't force yourself..."
Seeing that I compromised, she felt guilty? Maybe Emilia is a good child at heart.
"It's okay, it's okay, we'll be taking pictures later anyway--"
As I spoke, I pulled off my scarf and hat, finally getting some fresh air.
"So? What are your thoughts?"
No one answered.
Emilia pointed at me, her mouth opening and closing but no sound came out; Messiah's mouth formed an "O" shape; the Valley Sisters' eyes lit up; Ally and Ailin's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief—they never imagined that the hastily recruited combatant would possess such breathtaking beauty... As for the surrounding onlookers, they were already in a state of utter disbelief, ahh, this is too exaggerated.
Of everyone present, only Givinia remained calm, simply looking at the dumbfounded people with a mocking gaze.
"Goddess..."
I don't know who spoke first, and then--
"This is the real goddess! Aa..."
"What's your name? Could you please provide your contact information?"
"Big news! Call the reporters over here!"
"Can I be your dog? Woof woof woof!"
Cheers erupted like a tidal wave, but mixed in was a rather depraved remark—ignore it!
