YLTESCIA: A Reincarnator's Tale in the Lands of Merusia

Chapter 181: Winter Festival! (pt. II)

"Please join the Snowflake of the Night!" ［Nida］

The wind was cold, blowing ever so gently, a cheerful declaration floating adrift in the air, ringing clearly inside everyone's ears. Accompanying such a declaration was a bright, blinding smile coming from the very same owner of the voice.

Shock and confusion. Such emotions were conveyed on everyone's face as they looked at the smiling lady before them. They couldn't understand what had just transpired, their mind in shambles as they tried to cope with the current situation.

""Eh?!""  ""Huh?!""

Two distinct yet similar sounds echoed soon after the declaration, their expressions not any better. The only one who remained the same was Nida who was still smiling all the while she looked at the four youths' bewildered expressions.

"Umm... Missus Nida, was it...? Can you please elaborate further? I'm still a little confused about your proposition..." ［Julius］

The shock was so much that Julius ended up using formal language. It was very out of character for him, but who could blame him? Even Grey didn't have the time to bicker with him. He was also just as concerned.

"Fufufu, what more is there to explain? You're all beautiful and have good figures. Not to mention your statures! I'd really believe it if you say that you're models!" ［Nida］

"N-No, we aren't... Anyway, I don't think we'll be joining anytime soon..." ［Julius］

"That's right. We also don't have any experience in modeling. It would only be embarrassing if we go up the stage." ［Grey］

"Fufufu, is that how you see it?" ［Nida］

A mysterious intent behind her smile, Nida's expressions only bloomed brighter. At the same time, Grey and Julius' expressions only grew more confused. Oh, what a grand contradiction.

After all, it wasn't only their good looks and stature that Nida based her proposition with. The way they carried themselves, their posture, and all little details in the short time they've exchanged words also became a factor.

Although it would be a lie to say that she noticed those things the very moment she saw them. It was only an impulse after she was mesmerized by their faces. Though she doesn't regret it. Now, she was sure she found quite a few beautiful gems.

"Well it's such a shame. The prizes are great, you know?" ［Nida］

"We really aren't in dire need of money right now... Sorry..." ［Grey］

"No, no, it's alright. Ah, but! The prizes aren't just cash, you know?! There's dresses, jewelry, and a couple incentives! You'll also be granted coupons afterwards! And even if you don't win, there'll be a party afterwards where lots of delicious food and drinks will be served!" ［Nida］

"Food?!" ［Yuna］

It was over. The very moment Nida mentioned the word "Food", everything was decided. As Yuna's ears perked up, her eyes also lit up, sparkling even brighter than the sun above, a certain flame burning up inside of her eyes.

"Shin, let's join!" ［Yuna］

"Elena..." ［Grey］

Yep, it was over. Now that Yuna made up her mind, there was no stopping her. Even if he were to refuse, Yuna would only switch up tactics and bug him until he agrees. There was only one thing Grey could do to overcome the current situation,

『Yuna, why don't we go back for now? I promise I'll cook you whatever you want and however much you want later, alright?』 ［Grey］

『Uuu... That's tempting... But the free food...』 ［Yuna］
