I Am a Master of Light Novels in Japan

"Oops! Could it be..."

Thinking of this, Li Yan felt chills all over his body.

He immediately turned around, ignoring the doubts of some people at the banquet about this phenomenon, and ran in the direction where Miyamoto Rachel left before.

At the beginning, some maids could be seen in the palace, but Li Yan hurriedly rushed in, and kept running towards the depths of the palace, feeling the chill in the air getting stronger.

Gradually, the palace inside began to look wrong.

As if winter was coming in an instant, the corridors and courtyards of the deep palace had already been covered with white snow. Li Yan's clothes were enough to keep him warm, but he was gradually running, and the cold wind that was blowing over him covered a layer of white snow. Unexpectedly, none of the self-righteous royal knights in the palace could be seen, but the more they ran towards the cold center, the human figures that were frozen into ice sculptures and shattered all over the place, it seemed that the people in this area The guard couldn't even parry at this moment, so he was killed by the power of the ice dragon Oracia.

"It's so miserable..."

Li Yan looked at this group of corpses and couldn't help thinking.

The palace area seems to have limited authority, and what happened here may not be noticed by the guards in other places.

【Huhuhu! ! 】

At the end of the dark corridor, the endless cold wind blows Li Yan, whose hair and clothes are covered with a layer of snow. Standing in the cold wind, he once again saw the huge dragon hunting giant carried by the Royal Knights. The crossbow, and the great dragon hunting sword that was frozen like a sculpture in the snow.

"..."

Li Yan hesitated.

The strong wind was blowing his baggy clothes, and he stood among the dead knights, looking at the sword.

Not long ago, he had already reached a peace agreement with Nid Hogg, which happened to be the case. Li Yan was not clear about the situation, but Miyamoto Rachel must be inseparable from the ice dragon Oracia's intrusion here. He drew out his great sword again, and managed to secure a peace agreement with Ned Hogg, but he was completely reduced to ashes...

Nid Hogg was not as incomprehensible as he thought.

That sweetness and gentleness, in the moonlight, she pressed the hat with one hand, and the hazy impression of the smile she showed to him still flashed in her mind.

but……

Li Yan stretched out his hand and grasped the hilt of the sharp blade used to deal with the evil dragon. With a strange force, he took the big sword out of the ice and snow.

In short, with the tragic scene in front of him, he didn't think that the ice dragon Oracia would be as easy to talk to as Ned Hogg.

Humans are such creatures. If you fight against creatures that cannot communicate, your mentality will be much easier. However, after communicating with Ned Hogg, dancing, and getting to know each other, when Li Yan raised his sword this time, Li Yan did not He was as aggressive as before, but if he didn't know why, his heart was as cold as ice and snow...

※※※※

The ice dragon Oracia crouched in the pile of ice and snow, and the slender tail had already rolled up Rachel Miyamoto.

【This time, I will never make another mistake...】

With a strange persistence in the ice dragon's voice, it muttered to itself.

It is now entrenched on the third floor of the palace, at the gate of the princess's palace, in this huge corridor, inside a knight like ice sculpture, surrounded by wind and snow, bitingly cold.

【Your Excellency, Princess, I don't want to hurt your life. This is my lord Ned Hogg's order. Please come out obediently and surrender...】

The ice dragon Oracia whispered to the eldest princess who was standing behind closed doors, as if she was persuading with expectation like a gentleman.

It held the scarred Rachel Miyamoto in front of its eyes, and said: [I heard your call for this human being and kept her alive, but once the toxin is taken out without wasting, I'm afraid I won't be able to save her life. However, letting her live until now is already my concession, so if you open the door, I will not kill your guard again, how about it? 】

There was silence inside the solid gate, and gradually, Princess Sirina replied: "Rachel is my best friend... If I can't guarantee her life, I won't come out."

In the voice, the eldest princess seemed to be quite calm, but her tone carried a hint of painful struggle, as well as a pleading tone.

It seems that Rachel Miyamoto is really her lifeline, enough to make her one of the few factors that can be shaken by a person who has always kept the overall situation in mind and supported Britain in unscrupulous ways to actually hold power.

Hanging upside down in mid-air, Rachel Miyamoto was panting after exhausting her magic and sword skills. Her forehead seemed to be broken, and the bleeding blood left her snow-white cheeks with blood marks. Hearing the words of the ice dragon Afterwards, she opened her eyes as if struggling, exhausted all her strength, and said, "Don't... don't listen to it, Your Highness..."

Inside the metal gate, the Eldest Princess heard Rachel's voice, and her voice trembled even more.

"Rachelle..."

The two girls, right in this door, are deadlocked with each other.

The girl outside the door was dripping with blood, while the princess inside the door was protecting herself as if she would not save herself, knelt down at the door, supported the door, and lingered in the big choice between right and wrong.

Miyamoto Rachel smiled and said weakly: "I'm ready...for the country, for the homeland, and for the Eldest Princess to dedicate myself. It is not a shameful thing to die with dignity..."

"However, the eldest princess is not only my friend, but also the princess of this country... so... that's enough, Your Highness the eldest princess."

Miyamoto Rachel said.

Drop after drop of blood dripped onto the snow.

Rachel Miyamoto's consciousness is not very clear, and she is in a daze.

I don't know, after approaching this state, her consciousness is quite clear, but gradually, she can see some very strange things in her mind.

Suddenly, in consciousness, she saw a different scene.

In the vague consciousness, in the heavy snow, the figure of the man stayed beside a little girl.

That one stayed in the drizzle, persuading her not to follow his path to grow, under the street lamp, drenched by the rain alone but not crushed by anything...

The young man standing in the museum, standing in front of the painting of sunflowers that was as hot as a flame.

However, that kind of déjà vu seems to be able to see that even Rachel Miyamoto can see that there is a color of longing in "her" vision, looking at that person.

In my mind, the memory of the conversation between Rachel Miyamoto and Li Yan was suddenly recalled.

——[There is another question I want to ask you, why do you always call me Yukinoshita? What does it mean? 】

——【It’s not a big deal, I’m in Japan...no, over there in Fusang country, I met a girl who is exactly like you...]

Rachel Miyamoto suddenly saw with her own eyes, that self wearing a white school uniform and a black plaid skirt, showing a faint and comfortable smile...

"!!"

Rachel Miyamoto, who was hung upside down, opened her eyes in an instant.

What happened? !

Why, when she was on the verge of losing consciousness just now, she saw a phantom that she had never seen before, and it still felt so real...

Miyamoto Rachel thought puzzledly.

However, in his consciousness, he fearfully thought of a possibility: 【That person is not lying. 】

"Cough cough cough!"

Miyamoto Rachel suddenly coughed vigorously.
