After packing up the personal belongings that she had taken out from her ring for more than a year and given as gifts from Snow Lady and Snow Wolf, Yu Yuyi raised her neck and lightly tapped her stiff shoulder.

[Yizai, have you really decided? 】

Tian Mengru, who was nestled in a ball on top of Yu Yuyi's hair, asked.

Yu Yuyi lowered her eyes, looked at the things that had been arranged under her hands, opened her lips and said, "Of course. After all, I can't stay in one place forever, even if it is called a 'desperate place'."

[Alas, it’s only in these years that I understand why Douluo told me to take a good look at you. Your physique...]

"It's unreasonable..." Yu Yuyi did not avoid this. She just put the things she had arranged into her ring, took out a bag and put something on the table.

Tianmeng didn't notice Yu Yuyi's movements. He was still immersed in Yu Yuyi's answers and her increasingly conspicuous physique in recent years, and sighed.

[Yizai, why on earth is your physique getting worse and worse... Sigh, it's hard, what if you go back and live in those imperial cities for three or two years, wouldn't it...]

"Well, so I won't stay at dad's place for too long. Unless one day I solve this troublesome physique of mine."

[Then do you have an idea? If you still can't solve it, then Yi Zai, won't you have to be a wanderer for the rest of your life? 】

"There is a clue, but..." Yu Yuyi did not tell Tianmeng what she guessed later.

Because those speculations are too absolute and make people feel that the laws of heaven in this world are ruthless.

But Yu Yuyi already had the worst guess about this.

——It’s nothing more than a narrow escape from death, or ten deaths without a life.

"...Don't worry. When it's really irreversible, I still have a last resort."

[Um, eh, since you said so, Yi Zai, then I will believe you. There are still a few months left before the five-year agreement you and I made as children. Do you plan to go back now? 】

"Well..." Yu Yuyi took out the jade sign, glanced at the message of the sender on it, then held the jade sign and waved it in the direction of Tianmeng, "Go back now, and you can still catch up with the net. If it's too late, A little, I’m afraid even if I close the net, I won’t be able to catch any fish.”

【What is casting a net? Closing the net? Yi Zai, you always say things that I don’t understand. 】

"Haha~ I'm really sorry about that. I will tell you in detail later."

Yu Yuyi casually perfunctory Tianmeng Bingsi, who was still dissatisfied and wanted to ask for an answer, confirmed that the personal belongings she had to take away in the room had been put into the portable storage ring, and then took the clothes hanger on the side of the door. He put the hanging cloak on his body and pushed out the door.

The changes in the room are not major.

Except for the small and easily expired essentials that were taken away by Yu Yuyi, other large household items, as well as the mattresses and pillows on the bed, were not put away by Yu Yuyi.

Everything remains as if she still lives here.

It's unclear whether it was to give some thoughts to the two 'family members' who could only stay here, or to come and stay with them for a while when they were free in the future. Yu Yuyi did not really take away all the personal information related to her. thing.

She turned back and glanced at the furnishings that could be seen at a glance in the small wooden house. Now there was no one inside, and only the residual warmth remained.

The snow girl is not here.

But Yu Yuyi knew where this little guy would be.

As for the Snow Wolf, he was naturally patrolling the ice field with the Snow Girl as usual.

——Still not here...

Yu Yuyi chuckled and lowered her eyes, lowered her head and gently closed the wooden door in front of her.

"Then, I'm going out."

……

Walking on the ice field is an extremely physically demanding task, but Yu Yuyi has lived here for more than a year and a half, and she has found some skills on such difficult ice fields and snow.

At this time, it was only half a stick of incense time away from the wooden house where she and the snow girl lived, and they were already not far away.

Because Tianmeng was nostalgic for this weather that he might not encounter again in the past, he still curled up on the hood of Yu Yuyi's head, feeling the howling north wind and the ice and snow falling slowly from unknown time.

It's very similar to the first time I met Yuki-onna...

Yu Yuyi raised her head, looked at the falling snowflakes under the thick gray clouds, and thought silently.

Just a few of them drifted down the wind and landed on her forehead and cheeks. The moment the snow melted, it brought a slight chill.

"Hmm! It's better to get out of the ice field quickly while the snow doesn't fall too hard... Phew——"

She tightened the hood of her cloak, hid her hair tightly in the hood, and breathed hot breath into her fingers, which were starting to become cold and red due to the physique of an ordinary soul master.

It was expected that the snow would get heavier and heavier, but it did not snow so heavily that it was impossible to walk until Yu Yuyi completely left this desperate place.

This kind of coincidence cannot be said to be a mere coincidence at this time.

If Yu Yuyi felt something, she looked back at the land where it was still snowing. There was only a few steps away from where she was standing now, but it seemed like two worlds were separated.

On one side, there are overcast clouds, and ice and snow are floating; on the other side, there is no snow or clouds, and the sun hanging high in the sky is evaporating downwards with its useless warmth equivalent to a small light bulb in the refrigerator.

Yu Yuyi followed his intuition and looked towards a place on the ice field.

There was a small cliff. The snow wolf used to stay at the highest point, looking down at everything, then raising its head and roaring.

Nowadays, there is not only a former regular customer there, but also a very familiar 'person' named Yu Yuyi.

Yu Yuyi looked at the cliff bank that was difficult to see clearly even with the soul master's eyesight alone, and easily saw the two little guys who were not at home this morning.

The snow girl still has a flowing skirt, looking like a fairy in the sky. Even standing on a cliff, she can't hide her unique temperament.

Compared to the young and frail person she was when they first met, she can now be called the uncrowned king of this ice field.

But even though the snow girl has such a transcendent title.

In Yu Yuyi's view, she is just a child who has just passed through her infancy. Even though she has entered maturity, won a crown, and gained more power...

But just looking at the expression of reluctance on the snow girl's face now, who can regard her as an adult who can take charge of her own affairs?

Just being willing to endure this no matter how reluctant she is is enough for Yiyi to see her growth.

The snow wolf is still with the snow girl. It does not lie down and wait, but always stands beside the snow girl.

Then the keen intuition of a predator caught Yu Yuyi's sight. It raised its head and roared.

The long howl of the wolf resounded throughout this deserted and desperate land, from far to near, and then headed into the distance again.

Perhaps impressed by the strength contained in this wolf howl, or perhaps infected by the emotion it wanted to convey, more wolf howls of different tones sounded in the distance, one after another, continuing. Continuously.

It's like retaining someone, but also like saying goodbye.

On the empty ice field, the glacier flows eastward silently, and only this unique farewell ensemble echoes in this desperate situation.
