White, translucent ice covered the entire cave. Gary breathed out clouds of cold mist as he walked across the mirror-smooth floor.
"This floor~ It's practically begging me to slip..." Looking at Lorelei walking ahead of him, Gary couldn't help imagining the sight of this mature beauty taking a tumble~
