Chapter 31 – Episode 31- Snow Woman, Yu Seol-Hee

I stopped by the infirmary and somehow managed to restore the broken relationship with the manager.

Not only did I recover, but a new relationship was added, but it was a relationship that benefited me anyway, so it wasn’t too much of a problem.

“Is it necessary to think so?”

I was scratching my head.

It was clear what I had to do at this academy in the future.

To seduce other female youkai and take away her virginity.

However, I had no confidence in carrying out the position of a virgin bomber, having pushed women out as my grandmother had said before.

The relationship with the store manager is also one of the good relationships that can suppress my stamina, so it’s normal to be happy.

It was hard for me to say that I was good at it, and to accept it without hesitation.

“… You should get used to it.”

There was nothing he could do to control the runaway Yang.

Suppressing the guilt for Miho welling up in my heart, I walked around the academy grounds.

Time passed quickly as we wandered around the spacious academy’s facilities.

Then, I suddenly remembered the library that the previous principal had explained to me, and I decided to stop by the library.

Since I was at an age where my witchcraft knowledge was far less than others, it was clear that reading any witchcraft book would be helpful.

Tracing my memory, I went to the left from the first floor of the main building and saw the library.

At the desk in the library, an intelligent beauty wearing gold-rimmed glasses who looked like a librarian was reading a book.

So as not to be disturbed, move your feet quietly and enter the library.

The addictive scent of papers filled my lungs while cooping inside the library.

Looking at the bookshelves filled with books, I moved my steps and arrived at the center of the library, where desks were scattered around.

Not many people were reading books, either because it was a weekend or because there was a separate reading room.

But among them, there was one youkai that stood out.

“……”

Starting with black, bobbed hair dyed with blue hair, and a cold-looking expression.

A youkai with a white aura floating around its body.

Seol-nyeo, Yoo Seol-hee.

She was sitting at an empty table and reading a book.

Since she had to get close to Yu Seol-hee in the future, she secretly approached him with the image of recognizing her interests.

Yu Seol-hee wondered if she was concentrating on the book, she didn’t feel my presence and she was absorbed in reading.

She glanced down and looked at the title of the book.

Contrary to her cold-looking appearance, Yu Seol-hee was reading any ordinary romance fantasy.

“……”

Because of her cold and indifferent reaction, I didn’t have time to look closely at her face.

When she saw Seolhee Yoo’s side profile reading a book, she suddenly realized how pretty Seolhee Yoo was.

White skin like a snow woman, lips like cherry blossoms.

Yu Seol-hee, with her refreshing eyes, was a look that anyone could call a great beauty.

I quietly watched Yoo Seol-hee read her book.

Yu Seol-hee kept her mouth shut, and she turned over her paper to move on to the next page.

However, the paper that was supposed to slide over made a ticking sound, and the page did not turn over.

Yu Seol-hee chewed on her lips and struggled to turn over her paper.

However, perhaps because of the white aura spreading from her fingertips, the paper became harder and harder.

Yu Seol-hee furrowed her eyebrows, and she scratched at her paper even more.

The more he did, the stronger the white aura became, until the paper became frosted.

In the end, Yu Seol-hee removed her hand from her book and squeezed her own hand, which was spreading a white aura.

I see her crouching down and clenching her fists, as if I feel sorry for myself, disgusted with myself.

I couldn’t stand still any longer.

So… I went behind her and put my hand on her book.

Squeak.

When my hand touched it, strangely, the frost naturally disappeared.

I silently turned the book to the next page.

Yu Seol-hee, perhaps startled by the fact that I was behind her, shook her body and put her hand on mine.

“Ah…!”

Yu Seol-hee hurriedly looks back at me with her pitiful sigh.

Contrary to her always apathetic expression, the expression Yu Seol-hee made at that moment looked so earnest.

Yu Seol-hee hurriedly removed her hand from hers and looked at my face.

Since he turned over the bookshelf from behind, Yu Seol-hee and I were close enough to exchange breaths.

Yu Seol-hee was cool and she had a sweet scent.

In my arms, extremely careful not to touch me, Yu Seol-hee slowly opened her mouth to me.

“How do you…”

Yu Seol-hee turns her gaze and looks at my hand.

Yu Seol-hee, who looked at my nonchalant hand and checked me as I normally closed and opened my eyes, hardened her expression for a moment.

Declared to me

“Go away.”

At that, I took a quick step back.

Since I intervened in the first place, it was a legitimate request for Yoo Seol-hee to tell me to get out of the way.

After putting some distance, Seolhee Yoo continued to speak while glaring at me.

“You’re a transfer student. I’m sure I told you to be careful.”

Yoo Seol-hee warns me with a cold voice.

But it’s only now that I realize that this warning isn’t just for me.

Yu Seol-hee was pushing everyone away because she hated herself.

Previously, when my grandmother passed away, and my heart was broken for a while, there was a time like that.

I couldn’t believe in the will, and I believed in it too much, so I also pushed everyone away.

But in the end, thanks to the kind store manager and Kim Cha-reuk, who clings like a madman, he quickly recovered.

I remembered myself at that time and decided to help Seolhee Yoo.

“I’m not a transfer student, Kang Kang-jun.”

I greeted Seolhee Yoo and introduced myself.

Yu Seol-hee growled, as if I was full of energy for the shameless introduction in this situation.

“Who wants your name? I told you, be careful. Get out of there.”

“Why should I be careful?”

“You ask because you don’t know? Just by coming near me, you…”

Yu Seol-hee stopped talking as if she had remembered the girl from just before her.

Perhaps even when she came near, she seemed to push everyone away because of her tendency to freeze everything around her.

Roughly guessing her trauma, I hastily brought her up.

“You didn’t do anything just before. So, don’t you need to be too vigilant?”

“… What?”

Yu Seol-hee frowned as if I was full of energy.

She pursed her cherry-red lips and said to me.

“I think I’ve just been okay because of witchcraft or a peculiar constitution… Even if I put away all the trivial things, do you know why people avoid me?”

The blue eyes filled me with a lot of disgust.

“I don’t know because I came from the human world, but it’s because I’m disgusted.”

“……”

Yoo Seol-hee’s appearance at that moment seemed so dangerous that I couldn’t say anything.

Yoo Seol-hee said something funny about me.

“Twenty years ago, when the Great War broke out, the Snow Woman clan created a war weapon for the victory of the youkai. It’s not just a war weapon, it’s a war weapon that gave their whole family their lives. That’s me.”

Yu Seol-hee comes one step closer to me.

As she got closer, she laughed and whispered to me.

“How about it, you can’t even say anything. So, don’t touch me anymore. There’s nothing good between you and me.”

Yu Seol-hee left those words behind, and she turned her back on me.

At that moment, without realizing it, I reached out and grabbed Yu Seol-hee’s arm.

Yu Seol-hee, who grabbed her arm, stood still for a moment. She looked back at me and threw her hand away.

“Let go of this!”

Perhaps because she swung her body too hard, Yu Seol-hee stumbled and put her hand on the desk where she had just sat.

Then, a white aura shimmered, and ice grew on the book Yu Seol-hee had just read.

Damn it.

Yu Seol-hee, looking at her book covered in ice with her empty eyes, lowered her head.

The librarian over there must have heard us, and she was staring at us while touching her gold-rimmed glasses.

Then Seolhee Yu clenched her fists and she ran away from the spot as if she were running away.

In the end, I was left alone, and the librarian approached me, and I was met with ferocious glances.

Haha…”

I put my hand on the ice-covered book with an awkward smile.

Mysteriously, when I touched the ice, it melted away as if it never existed.

After removing all the ice, I showed the stiffened book to the librarian.

The librarian opened his eyes wide, and he shook his head as if to forgive him and went back to his place.

Holding the book Yu Seol-hee left behind in my arms, I was lost in thought.

After thinking about it for a while, I eventually found various magic books in the library and approached the librarian to borrow them.

Among those books was a romance fantasy book that Yu Seol-hee was reading.

That’s how I spent the weekend reading Yu Seol-hee’s books and magic books.

Weekday.

I started taking classes at the Witchcraft and Yokai Academy, and I was walking down the street with the two of them from early in the morning.

One was Kim Cha-ryeok, who always stuck with me, and the other was Darae.

On the first day, I was so distracted that I didn’t notice, but Darae was in the same class as us.

Naturally, we started going to school together, and we walked to the ‘transcendence’ class and chatted.

“Hmm…! Hanjun, this guy definitely needs to build up some muscles. Hanjun, I think it would be good for you to stick around and teach him.”

“Okay?”

Darae puts on an awkward smile and distances herself from Kim Cha-ryeok.

It seemed that he was burdened with Kim Cha-ryeok’s dignified appearance.

However, Kim Cha-ryeok asked Darae questions about whether he liked the two swords on his waist, shining his eyes.

“By the way, is that knife a real knife?!”

“It’s a real sword…?”

“Ohhhhh.”

I always stuck with him, but there were times when I couldn’t understand that guy who always maintained high tension.

Let’s walk down the street with a sigh.

In the distance, I saw a monster approaching us with a wagging white tail.

“Han Joon-ah~”

Miho cutely ran up to me and naturally embraced me in my arms.

As soon as Miho arrived, she acted cutely and greeted me.

“How was your weekendhehe…”

“How are you?”

The memory of drinking savory milk in the infirmary immediately came to mind, but I managed to fake a smile as I spoke to Miho.

Miho unknowingly smiled innocently and rubbed her cheek against my arm.

Then, as if he had noticed Darae, a new face walking next to me, he raised his triangular ears and expressed interest.

“Uh… Huh?”

“Nice to meet you.”

After Miho looked at Darae a couple of times, he spoke awkwardly.

“Hello, I’m sure… You’re from the ‘Sword Demon’ clan, right?”

“That’s right, thanks for noticing.”

“He’s my roommate.”

I introduced Darae to Miho.

Then Miho looked at Darae with a reluctant expression for a moment.

“Okay~? Please take good care of me from now on.”

However, Miho, who had a friendly smile that I couldn’t even imagine that he had that expression, reached out to Darae.

Miho, who held hands with Darae once, showed great affinity and quickly became close with Darae.

So we chatted and arrived at the ‘transcendence’ class.

Arriving at the class, I asked Miho.

“Miho, can I sit anywhere on this?”

“Yes, whoever arrives first is the owner.”

At those words, I looked at Yoo Seol-hee, who was sitting alone behind the window.

Yu Seol-hee must have felt my gaze on her, so she glanced at me once before looking away.

“Then let’s sit over there.”

I took Miho and sat in front of Seolhee Yoo.

Yu Seol-hee clicked her tongue as I approached, but Mi-ho unknowingly smiled and took the seat next to me.

Darae and Kim Cha-ryeok naturally sat in front of us.

As time passed, the teacher opened the school door and came in.

After checking the number of people, the teacher who greeted us in the morning looked back at us and talked.

“Did everyone have a good weekend? It’s midterm exams soon, so make sure to organize your team well. Strategically figure out your weaknesses, and if you can’t form a team with others… They’ll randomly assign you a team.”

At those words, I, who had just transferred a few days ago, blankly tilted my head.

‘Tim, midterm?’

It seemed that I had a question to ask the teacher.
