Spring Break Is Here!

"Martial Demon!"

"Monster!"

"Run!"

They were shouting in a language the Snow Woman couldn't understand... They were clearly much taller and there were many of them, so why were they so afraid?

The Snow Woman didn't quite understand this.

Soon after, she witnessed the boy, with a rather awkward katana in hand, behead the three men despite his left abdominal wound.

He then collapsed in the icy snow.

After hesitating for a long time, the Snow Woman finally took some cloth and helped...

The boy was bandaged up... He woke up during this process, but didn't say anything.

He just watched quietly as she bandaged his wound.

Finally, the two stood facing each other in the snow, in a pure white world, with several headless corpses around them...

It was truly a meeting reminiscent of sword-and-halberd films.

This was the first time the Snow Woman and the boy met...

The boy, who called himself Cong Yu, was a tourist from abroad, temporarily staying in a small town attached to Oda Castle... At this time, Japan was in a state of constant warfare.

The traveler... a traveler searching for "the necessity of existence in this world".

The Snow Woman didn't quite understand what "the necessity of this world's existence" meant, but without a doubt... this boy was probably a very remarkable person.

When the Uesugi Clan attacked Oda Castle, they set fire to the town below the castle, and after Cong Yu's house was completely burned down...

They were all killed.

Cong Yu ambushed and killed several of the retainers' soldiers, then killed two of them in a one-on-five battle...

They then chased after the remaining two who had fled and arrived here.

One person wiped out an entire squad.

That's roughly the idea...

As the Snow Woman made her judgment, gazing at the castle town engulfed in flames, she spoke for the first time, "Your home is gone."

That's an honest statement, but it's also quite infuriating.

Cong Yu, however, showed no anger whatsoever. His expression remained calm as he simply stated, "That's not home, just a place to stay..."

It's worth mentioning that the Snow Woman hadn't attended school at this time, so she didn't understand what "a place to reside" meant, but she still felt it was very powerful.

This young man sounds incredibly talented.

So, the Snow Woman asked Cong Yu what her plans were for the future.

"I don't know. I'd like to see Oda Nobunaga... to ask for a ship to continue my journey, or perhaps find a place to stay."

"I don't know much about the Sengoku; I only know these few people... We'll consider other things later."

Snow Woman: "???"

Oda Nobunaga? Who's that?

However, Snow Woman did vaguely recognize the surname Oda.

"The Oda family... from Owari Province? Oda Nobuhide's adopted daughter?"

Cong Yu looked confused at the Snow Woman's words, though she wanted to retort, she held back.

Thinking it might be another magical girl-themed thing, Cong Yu nodded anyway. "Do you know the way? Show me the way..."

Then, the Snow Woman led the way for Cong Yu.

The two traveled together for a while, from Hokkaido all the way to Nagoya... Throughout this journey, the Snow Woman was constantly being targeted and threatened.

It is a monster after all.

Cong Yu was also implicated...

So... kill.

Kill, kill, kill... kill, kill, kill...

Kill them all.

"..." The coldness and killing intent of Cong Yu even made the Snow Woman, who was not human, feel a little frightened... as if she was killing not humans but beasts that had been given the name of humans.

Even now, the Snow Woman seems to be able to recall, and can even hear, the words that Cong Yu spoke at that time—

Is it worth killing your own kind for you? What are you talking about?

[They're not my kind, but you're temporarily my companion. It's only natural that a fellow traveler is more important than a so-called "kindred spirit," right?]

"..." Coming back to her senses, the Snow Woman blinked, chuckled softly, and then shifted her gaze from the heavy snow outside the window back to the documents in her hands.

Cong Yu and the North Capital were her two favorite things.

As for things you like, while you don't need to hold onto them tightly, you can't just give them away.

This is the code of King's Rule for the Snow Woman.

Chapter 492 Spring Break is Here!

Yaochuan Guang! Battle Qi Third Dan!

"..." Okay, there's no such setting.

Third! Yaochuan Guang third in the class!!!

"..."

"Yay! Yay--"

Looking at the happy Yaochuan Guang, Cong Yu could hardly believe her ears... Could she have misheard?

Thirteenth place? That's about right.

What does third place mean?

Second only to Cong Yu and the super good student -- Minato Namikaze.

"Didn't we go on a trip to Mongolia for almost half a month? You didn't study at all during that time..."

Cong Yu said this, then looked at Yaochuan Guang with a suspicious expression, asking, "Was it your second personality who took the test for you?"

Yaochuan Guang's eyes widened immediately upon hearing Cong Yu's words.

What kind of talk is that?!

"There's no such setting!"

While loudly complaining, Yaochuan Guang couldn't help but sigh, "I wish such a thing really existed."

That way, she wouldn't need to study so hard.

(Black Yaochuan: I mean, is it possible... that I'm the one who completely doesn't understand human exam questions?)

"It was Xiao Cui! It was Xiao Cui who taught me!"

As Yaochuan Guang said this, he stood with his hands on his hips, looking incredibly confident for some reason. "Xiao Cui outlined the general scope of this exam for me, and then I focused my review! Lucky me, lucky lucky--"

Lucky?!

Gambling freak!

Xiao Cui, you're unbeatable, Xiao Cui.

This isn't luck or...

Observational skills can explain this... Cong Yu has reason to suspect that this is a power within the realm of prophecy.

"Has Xiao Cui already reached this level? Dividing and organizing knowledge points within the scope of university studies, and predicting the exam scope?"

Cong Yu said this, slightly clicking her tongue in amazement...

Xiao Cui is just a primary school student!

"Oh, right."

Yaochuan Guang suddenly remembered something. While packing his things and preparing for the holiday, he said, "After spring break, Xiao Cui should be going back to school, right?"

Indeed, Cong Yu has already spoken with the principal and arranged for Xiao Cui to study at the junior high school of Wind City High School.

"Yes, with Xiao Cui's level of talent, it's hard to imagine what kind of legendary stories she will create in the junior high school."

As Cong Yu said this, she couldn't help but imagine the scene of Xiao Cui becoming the "queen" of Wind City Middle School... Get off the bus quickly, this is not the bus to the middle school!

Yaochuan Guang pondered this for a moment, then nodded seriously. "Speaking of which, being too smart can lead to being bullied and isolated by classmates!"

That's true.

In Japan, a place rife with passive-aggressive isolation, Xiao Cui might actually be bullied...

But there's no need to worry too much.

"Nagashima Koki will be enrolling with Xiao Cui, and they can take care of each other... mainly Xiao Cui taking care of Xiao Xi."

Cong Yu said this, she glanced at Yaochuan Guang: "Besides, if someone tries to bully Xiao Cui... I can't say for sure."

Yaochuan Guang agreed with Cong Yu's words. As she picked up her own bag and Cong Yu's bag, she said, "That's right. If someone tries to bully Xiao Cui, they might get killed in return. Xiao Cui could totally beat them up."

Beat them up?

Getting a beating wouldn't be a big problem...

Cong Yu was afraid that the other party would really anger Xiao Cui, and she would be torn apart by five horses and swept away... He hoped that such a thing would not happen.

Thinking this, Cong Yu clasped her hands together and silently mourned for the school bully who might exist in the sewers for 1.14514 milliseconds.

As the two walked home together, preparing for the start of their holiday, the voice of their short homeroom teacher suddenly appeared beside them.

"Hooray, it's holiday time!"

After the holidays started, the short, pink-haired, and seemingly unrespectable but actually adorable female homeroom teacher appeared even happier than the students.

"Oh, Cong Yu and Yaochuan Chuan, what are your plans for the holidays? I'd like to know and have some ideas."

As he said this, the homeroom teacher stood up and patted Cong Yu's knee... Of course, this is an exaggeration.

The homeroom teacher isn't that short.

"May I take a look...?"

Yaochuan Guang repeated this, then hesitated for a moment before looking seriously at her homeroom teacher. "Attend the wedding... with Cong Yu- chan."

Head teacher. "..."

Yaochuan Guang: "..."

"Ugh! Hmm hmm hmm ahhh!"

The homeroom teacher suddenly let out a strange scream and ran away in tears... She seemed very hurt.

He ran while shouting things like "I want to get married!" and "I want to be in a relationship!" which scared the students around him away.

"You made the homeroom teacher cry..."

Cong Yu, after making this comment, looked at Yaochuan Guang, who was laughing wildly, and felt a little scared. "I can see that now, you've really become a bit cunning."

I don't know who he learned it from... it certainly wasn't me.

It wasn't me, was it...?

To Cong Yu's words, Yaochuan Guang pouted. "No way... I've always been the cute Little Guang-- "

Little Guang is so cute--

But he really has become cunning and ruthless.

"And I wasn't lying... Isn't Yuan'an- senpai's brother getting married? I'm right!"

Cong Yu curled her lip at Yaochuan Guang's explanation... That won't be until early April, almost the start of the school year.

However, Cong Yu didn't say it aloud, after all, what Yaochuan Guang said was indeed true... he just deliberately used words that could provoke the homeroom teacher.

"However, before attending the wedding..."

Yaochuan Guang stretched and muttered something about magical girls, "I'll probably ask Ms. Kurenai for the spell formula first..."
