Surprise, joy, emotion...
Various emotions flashed across the Snow Woman's eyes, but ultimately, she pressed her lips tightly together, her expression turning cold and serious.
The Hero quickly perceived the change in the Snow Woman's mood, and her smile gradually faded, with a touch of unease appearing in her Emerald Eyes.
She certainly understood that the fact she had managed to get this far with her current strength was astounding yet also worrying.
"Miss Hero, although I have a lot to say to you, for now, follow me!"
However, sensing something, the Snow Woman's expression changed again, a hint of panic in her urgency.
Yet, just as she grabbed the Hero's hand and prepared to leave, the wind and snow suddenly intensified, weaving into an invisible barrier that seemed to obstruct their path.
"Ah, my lovely child."
Snowflakes swirled around them, and a gentle yet mature voice pierced through the wind and snow, sounding in their ears.
