Ace Photographer Suika Takes the Stage! / Unexpected, Yet Not Unexpected

It's really rare to see this much snow outside of Kjerag.

Suika clasped her hands together and said apologetically.

"Remember to take me with you if you want to play later!" After saying that, Enya felt the cold wind blowing in from the doorway and couldn't help but shiver. She then went back inside.

"Okay, okay, I'll definitely do it next time, I'll definitely do it next time!"

After putting Enya back to bed, Yara, who had come out, gave Suika a thumbs up.

She realized that Suika's deliberate decision not to close the door was to let Enya get cold so she could hide back in bed, so she deliberately didn't say anything to remind her.

"Would it be alright if you slept here next to me tonight, guest?" Yara said loudly on purpose.

Following the direction she pointed, Suika looked towards a house not far from Enya's, which looked almost identical to Enya's place.

Furthermore, Suika discovered that although there weren't many sources of fire in the temple, the temperature inside was actually quite high.

Especially after entering the bedroom, it was quite warm inside.

"Every room here is equipped with a magical artifact made by the spirit mediums of Manjushri Monastery. The sole purpose of this artifact is to raise the temperature inside the room."

Even in the coldest weather, the indoor temperature will not drop below 20 degrees Celsius.

"Thanks to these magical artifacts, otherwise even if we could get through the daytime, it would be difficult to withstand the minus twenty or thirty degrees Celsius at night in winter, no matter how many blankets we had."

After Yara introduced herself to Suika wasn't very surprised.

After all, everyone has their own expertise. In places like this, where the temperature is low year-round, people naturally conduct more in-depth research on how to keep warm.

Such things can also be made in Leithanien, but without the right environment to use them, it's useless for others to make them, and naturally, it won't promote the development of this type of magic.

Even though Kjerag is quite primitive compared to the outside world, its application of Originium Arts is like that of a child compared to Leithanien.

However, due to the demand from others, corresponding spells and magical artifacts were developed.

Suika Xiang said that this sounded very good. She asked Enya how to use this magical artifact. When she learned that it could be manually activated and deactivated, and that it looked like a short stick only one meter long and as thick as an arm, she asked if she could buy some.

What do you need this for?

Yara found it strange. Given Suika's constitution, she had no need for this thing at all. Moreover, although the consumption of this thing was not large, it was still considerable, and it used a dangerous item like Originium. What was she going to do with it?

Suika then mentioned that she had spent a winter in Ursus, during which time she made some friends.

Considering the environment in Ursus, there must be a considerable demand for these items.

After thinking for a moment, Yara said that although this item was not non-saleable, there was no precedent for it being sold. She would have to wait until she went down the mountain to apply to Manjushri Monastery see if they were willing to sell it.

Chapter 312 Ace Photographer Suika Arrives!

Listening to the conversation between the two people next door, Enya turned over and slept even more soundly.

The next morning, Suika was woken up by Shanghai pulling her ear.

"Oh dear, is it already morning?"

Oh, Shanghai, I'm sorry, I'm trapped under the covers and can't get up. Go find someone better...

When she has nothing to do, Suika can wake up as soon as the sun rises and then be full of energy and cause all sorts of trouble.

But when something really happens, she feels like she can't get up...

Is this the resentment of a working-class person using a human-pressing technique on a ghost like her?

Just as Suika and Shanghai were playfully fighting, the door opened, and Yara peeked in. Seeing Suika sprawled on the bed and Shanghai poised to launch a sneak attack from mid-air, she couldn't help but squint and smile.

"You two have such a good relationship!"

Suika looked at Yara, preparing to speak, Shanghai in mid-air seized the opportunity, delivering a flying kick that Suika squarely in the forehead.

With a "click," the wooden bed, which was teetering on the brink of collapse just a second ago, officially retired.

After getting out of bed, Suika scratched the back of her head, then grabbed Shanghai and walked to the door.

Enya, who had just heard the noise inside, walked over and stared wide-eyed at what she saw.

"Red Bean paste fruit manna sei!"

Faced with Suika clinging to her leg and refusing to get up until she agreed to the dogeza (a traditional Chinese kneeling gesture), Enya's forehead showed a few unusual black lines.

"Alright, alright, it's just a wooden bed. We can have someone bring up a new one after the snow melts." Yara couldn't help but chuckle as she watched Suika clinging to Enya's leg, Suika gaze fixed on Enya's tail.

Just before Suika could resist touching her, he lifted her up.

"Ouch~ the tail!"

Looking at her tail receding into the distance, Suika looked regretful.

Enya noticed Suika's little action and jumped back, watching her hand warily.

"Ahem... I'll make it up to you."

Having missed her best chance to provoke Suika, Suika stopped fooling around and said she could make amends for her mistake.

"There's no need for compensation; it's not worth much. But it's best to be more careful in the future."

Considering that the person in front of her was a terrifying individual who could snipe her tail at any moment, Enya's eyes were much more wary than yesterday.

After a quick wash, the group began their next hike.

Enya is right. Although the road ahead is shorter than yesterday's, and it won't be difficult for Suika to fly up, it will still be very difficult to walk up on two legs.

Especially today, although the heavy snow didn't continue and the weather cleared up for the first time (Yel, who wished to remain anonymous, said she was responsible), the temperature dropped instead of rising.

The ice and snow on the ground absorbed almost all the heat, and the dazzling reflection of the sun on the snow made the three of them move much slower than yesterday.

At this moment, all three of them were wearing a pair of brown sunglasses. Yes, sunglasses.

This stuff is sold in many places in Kjerag.

The reason is simple: to avoid snow blindness.

Because of the year-round snow cover, the people of Kjerag have come up with many ways to combat snow blindness.

Finally, I was amazed when I discovered sunglasses—such a simple, inexpensive, and portable item.

It can also be said to be one of the most popular foreign goods in Kjerag.

The sunglasses the three of them were wearing were the ones Yel had specifically brought when she went out.

Looking at Enya walking ahead wearing sunglasses, Suika suddenly felt that the term "yakuza heiress" was so concrete.

"What's wrong?" Hearing the sound of cameras being taken from behind, Enya turned her head and tilted her head at the camera pointed at her, looking both cute and playful.

"AWSL!" Suika clutched her chest, looking weak, and leaned towards Yara. Yara caught Suika, took the photo from her hand with a smile, then her eyes lit up, and she abandoned Suika to run to Enya's side.

"Enya, look how beautifully Suika photographed you!"

Enya looked at herself in the photo and was a little surprised, blushing slightly. She hadn't expected to look so good in the picture.

"No, no, I have to keep this photo safe!" Yara put the photo into her bosom under Enya's reluctant gaze.

At this moment, Suika, who had been abandoned and was struggling to get out of the snow, reached out her hand like Erkang.

"The photo is mine... it's mine..."

But the faint sound was completely ignored by the other two.

Seeing that she couldn't get the photo back, Suika said she could leave the photo with Enya, but Enya would have to let Suika take a few more.

Then

"This one is really beautiful, let's keep it!"

Hey Enya, look at this picture, it's beautiful and sacred, it perfectly matches your saintly aura, keep it too!

Oh my god, Enya, you look good in every photo! How about this?!

"Bandits, you really are bandits!"

Suika's words made the other two laugh at the same time.

Ultimately, after arguing her case, Suika managed to keep two individual photos and one group photo.

Amidst their playful antics, the group reached the mountaintop around noon.

After successfully checking in, Suika took a few more photos of the view overlooking the earth from Kjerag Holy Mountain before the three of them turned and walked down the mountain.

Is this camera your latest product?

Back at the temple Enya held the photos with great delight, admiring their incredibly high detail and the speed at which they were taken and produced. She couldn't help but ask a question.

"It is said to be an experimental product developed by a laboratory in Columbia."

I was lucky enough to get my hands on it and found that it's actually quite good.

Now that the prototype is out, the official version will probably be available in a few years!

While answering without changing her expression, Suika picked up a photo of Enya standing on a mountaintop with her arms outstretched, embracing the clouds and the sun, and flipped it over.

What are you doing?

"Upon seeing this photo, I was suddenly inspired to write a line."

What do you think of the saying, "When you reach the summit, all the mountains below will appear small"?

As Suika spoke, she wrote the sentence in Great Yan script.

"What a powerful poem, but is this the only line?" Enya didn't understand the poetry of the Great Yan, but she also found it very grand after Suika translated it into Kjerag.

"One sentence is enough... but I used the Great Yan script in the original text, you don't mind, do you?"

"No problem. Even the best translation will lose some of its charm in certain places. You are most proficient in the language of Great Yan, so it's best to use the Great Yan script."

After finishing writing, Suika handed the photo to Enya. Enya took it, nodded in satisfaction, and said with a slightly flushed face.

"You can touch the head and ears, but not the tail!"

Upon hearing Enya's words Suika jumped three feet high, and with a twisted smile, she reached out her devilish claws towards Enya.

Oh, really?

Hehehe, let me touch little Enya's ear hair...

Chapter 313 Unexpected, Not Unexpected

In the afternoon, Suika did not rush down the mountain, but stayed another night at Enya's invitation.

The three sat by the fireplace. After asking the other two questions, Suika poured them some wine each, and the three of them sat there drinking and chatting until it got dark.

The next morning, Enya and Yara led Suika down the mountain, but Weiss did not come to meet her when they reached the bottom.

When the three of them arrived at a post station, they asked around and learned that Weiss had received a message from the Silverash Territory the previous afternoon, saying that something had happened there.

Unable to contact Suika and Enya, he rushed back ahead and asked the people at the post station to pass on a message to them, hoping that Suika and the saintess could go to Silverash Territory together.

"Me? I'm not going..." Enya showed great resistance after hearing what the people in the post station said.

"Are you sure Weiss means both the saintess and I are going? Do you know what happened?"

Suika frowned and looked at the person to confirm.

"That's right, that's what the Weiss brothers said."

As for what happened...

Yesterday he received news that the second young lady had run away to climb the Holy Mountain. Lord Enciodes couldn't stop her, and knowing the Weiss brothers were here, he hoped he would bring her back...

Then when he brought the man back, he seemed to be injured. There wasn't any first aid equipment at the post station, so Brother Weiss drove the carriage back."

"What?!" X2

Suika and Enya said in unison.

Enya never expected that this matter would be related to Enya. She did hate her brother, but she still cared a lot about her younger sister. When she heard that something had happened to her, she couldn't help but feel flustered.

Suika knew that Enya had indeed encountered trouble in the storyline. It seemed that she had an accident while climbing the Holy Mountain, and was pierced in the thigh by Originium, which turned her into Infected.

Could this be the time?

Suika wasn't sure, but she had given the other person a Wind-controlling Pearl. With that help, she shouldn't have been injured again.

Unsure of the extent of Enya's injuries, Suika remained silent, while Enya instructed the post station to immediately arrange for a vehicle to take them to the Silverash Territory.

Thanks to her status as a saintess, there were special vehicles available at the post station for her to travel in.

The carriage soon left the post station and arrived at Silverash's residence in the afternoon.

Before getting off the bus, Enya did a lot of mental preparation, thinking about what she should say when she met Enciodes.
