ICE EMPEROR

PRINCESS ROYAL VOULEFTIS

After completing a fairly troublesome mission, we finally returned on foot to the city to convey the success of the mission to the guild. But...

"It's so cute."

Unexpectedly my student got his first familiar, it was beyond my estimation, plus he had managed to level up without me noticing...

It seems like for now there is no need to worry about her vampire changes...

But I won't forget, the incident about her sudden change in the face of the Chimera. I was hit by a slight wave of Chimera laser, but fortunately it did not have a fatal impact, when I wanted to go back to hit the monster, but it looks a little different. I don't know why his vampire aura is mixed up with something else. I can't be stupid not to realize it, the vampire blood responds to the blood of the devil's eye witch, not even his attacks have I seen before. It was only the first time for me to see an attack that could obliterate every particle of that part of the Chimera's leg...

When imagining it I was only able to gulp hard, this disciple of mine had a difficult destiny in the future...

"Teacher... Teacher.." call Vira

“Y-yah, what's up Vira?” yugi asked slightly stammered as he only realized from his daydream.

“What is the teacher thinking?” ask Vira.

“Nothing, it's just that I was thinking about your familiar.” Said Yugi who tried to convince Vira, although his intention from the beginning was to ask about the new familiar obtained by his student.

Yugi was still staring at Vira who was still holding the soft-looking little wolf.

"I don't really understand either?" Confused Vira, then continued her words while looking towards the pet in her carriage. “Hey Neo, how can I contract with you?”

"You should remember it yourself, I won't tell you.” Neo replied still in his cute tone, even though his words were a little arrogant. “About this matter of me, I am just a rare monster that is sometimes difficult to tame. I did a contract with this girl just out of curiosity for something.” Obviously Neo.

“Interested with me, what's wrong with me?” ask the curious Vira.

‘The meaning of the word Neo must have been a sudden change of Vira. I'm still thinking about it, there's nothing more reasonable if only Vira made a contract when she didn't realize she had entered another mode. Whether it's his Vampire changes or the blood of a demon-eyed witch. But the closest is Vampire, because every Vira wants to suck my blood she doesn't realize it.’ Inner Yugi, although in his last words he somewhat complains because often sucked blood. But he doesn't mind, because vampires basically have to suck blood to survive. Although Vira himself is only half a vampire, but his vampire blood still flows in his body. Luckily for Yugi, Vira is only half a vampire, because if Vira is a true vampire then her blood may be drained in suction. Once Yugi read about the brutality of true vampires in sucking human blood.

“Teacher...” call Vira.

“Ya.” Reply Yugi.

“I wonder what Neo says. What does it mean in me that something caught his attention?” Ask Vira.

“What he means is your vampire blood Vira.” Answer Yugi. “Am I right Neo?” yugi asked the little wolf.

“Not wrong, but there's still something else.” Answer Neo.

‘If not that, means..’ Inner Yugi who guessed Neo's mind.

“Ah I don't understand what you want, but your fur is so soft.” Vira who didn't care about anything just stroked her cheeks into Neo's soft white fur.

“Don't treat me like a basic human doll.” Neo's growled.

“Eh, I'm half a vampire.” Reply Vira.

“Whatever, you smell more to humans. I'm a little upset as well why I made a contract with you.” Neo's words are getting worse.

“Do you not want to be with me?” ask Vira in a sad tone.

Neo does not answer Vira's question, he just keeps quiet until he rebelled from Vira's embrace and jumps forward. “I'll walk by myself.” Neo walked in front of them with a face that did not want to know.

While Vira who saw it was only moody beside Yugi. For Yugi himself can only be silent to see Neo's behavior so hard on Vira. But unable to bear to see his disciple sad, Yugi tries to comfort him.

“No need to grieve Vira, because a witch who made a contract with a familiar they just met did need time to be able to understand each other. But as time goes by I'm sure you guys can be familiar.”

Hearing that sentence from her teacher, Vira gets better and is determined to get recognition from Neo.

“Yes teacher, I will make Neo acknowledge me as his partner.” Said Vira spirit.

“That's new Pupilku.” Yugi stroked Vira's head gently with affection.

“By the way teacher, this symbol in my hand.” Vira shows his right hand to Yugi with a face asking, where on the back of his right hand there is a picture of the head of a black adult wolf.

“It is a symbol that you have already made a contract with a call monster. Each symbol is different and symbolizes the monster, as well as the symbol of your wolf, then the symbol is the head of the wolf. Familiar is like our partner in fighting. If you stream Mana to that symbol, then Neo will fulfill your call and help you if in trouble. But do not use it for unnecessary things, or your partner will be angry.”.

Sriiings

Just as Yugi finished explaining, Vira directly activated the symbol in his hand. And a red magic circle was created in front of them and then it gave rise to a small wolf who had been in front of them a considerable distance and was now right in front of them. Neo the familiar just stared angrily at Vira who was calling out to her. Yugi who saw it could only smile awkwardly.

While Vira stared sparklingly because she had managed to summon Neo. “Wah turned out to be successful.”

“Don't call me if you don't need my help. I'm no ordinary pet, I'm a Familiar. Just call me in an emergency, you don't know the contract you're gonna have to abide by yet. I'll tell you now, first just call me in an emergency, second not to treat me like a pet, for example like calling me cute or petting my fur, third, treat me well and respect me, even though my body is small but I also have self-esteem. Understand, at least obey the three conditions I give you.” After explaining that, Neo walked back leaving Vira and Yugi there.

Hearing that piercing angry tone made Vira's heart become sad again. His desire to just be good friends with Neo is a little far to reach. But it will not break his faith, for it is only the beginning for him.

Then Vira slightly ran forward and stopped not far from Neo. With a breath, Vira shouted in a loud tone. “I WILL DEFINITELY MAKE YOU ACKNOWLEDGE ME AS YOUR PARTNER.”

Hearing that Neo was a little jolted, his steps stopped for a while, on his face was a small smile even though it still seemed flat. He did not turn around, but instead continued his footsteps without caring for Vira's statement.

The neglected Vira did not look sad, she smiled with confidence in her heart. Yugi who saw that felt that Vira was getting older, who was once only a vengeful little girl now became a jolly and energetic little girl. It makes Yugi want to see the progress of his student longer.

A few moments on their way, there was silence there. While Neo is still walking in front of Yugi and Vira. Yugi himself looks relaxed while looking around him, even though he sees only the forest, they are still a bit far from the city, but not too bad to fill free time. Unlike Vira, from earlier he looked towards Yugi's right hand or rather the back of Yugi's right hand. Somehow Vira was so curious about something, because she could not bear to finally talk.

“Teacher, I want to ask.”

Yugi just glanced towards his right where Vira was walking beside him. His face was wrinkled by the words of Vira just now, without even being told Vira understood that she could ask now.

“Do teachers have contracts with call monsters as well?” ask Vira.

‘Tumben once Vira wanted to know something about it from me. Yeah I'll just tell you, there's no harm either.’ Inner Yugi. “Ya, I have one.” Answer her.

“Terus, where is the guru contract symbol?” ask back Vira who was confused because she did not see the contract symbol that should be on the back of her right hand.

“Owh. This way it does not look to plug in.” Yugi showed the back of his right hand clean without any scribbles.

“Eh... how do? Mine still exists.” Vira looked around at the symbol on the back of her right hand that did not disappear like it belonged to her teacher.

“That's very easy, just drop off the flow of Mana then the symbol will disappear by itself.”

Not Yugi who answers but Neo who speaks quite loudly in front there. Without turning around and stopping his steps, Neo tells how to get rid of the contract symbol so as not to bring too many people's attention.

“That's how.” Keep Yugi.

“Didn't this look beautiful, why should it be eliminated. I want to look like this all the time, because it's proof that I've been friends with Neo.” Vira said cheerfully.

“Better you just undo your intentions, can be dangerous if you are too conspicuous.” Reply Neo.

“Why the hell..” upset Vira.

“What he said does have a point. It could be troublesome too if everyone knew a little girl was making a contract with a monster. Because basically a magician makes a contract with a monster at the age they have reached 15 years and above. Rarely does anyone make a contract at the age of 10. The youngest is 13 years old and that is very rare. Only those who are talented can do it.” Clearly Yugi.

“So, I'm a talented witch?” Vira asked with a sparkling face and a happy smile.

“Ya, you could say so.” Answer Yugi origin, although in fact it is not a lie either. Seeing the rapid development of Vira, Yugi doubted who could defeat his student. ‘It is possible that Vira is the youngest magician to successfully make a contract with a monster. Although I myself do not know what kind of monster made a contract with him.’ His heart murmured proudly and a little wondering about Vira's new familiar, it was still a mystery, but it might come to light as time went on.

“Wah great, then teacher, when did teacher make a contract with familiar?” ask again Vira.

‘She is not only an innocent girl, but a lot of questions. Plus chatty, why his personality can change so drastically. I prefer her other self.’ Inner Neo who was still walking while listening to the conversation behind him.

“That was about a month ago, ever since I started traveling and met you, back then I was planning on adventuring after training with my partner.” Answer Yugi.

“Eh, teacher training with teacher familiar?”

Either way until when Yugi has to answer all the questions that just keep coming out of Vira's mouth. But for Yugi it is not too bad, at least he can eliminate his boredom by serving every question of his student. After all, this is also good for his experience, maybe Vira can learn something from the story.

“Yes that way, the familiar teacher can also speak. He had the same ability as the teacher, which was the ice element. So as long as we make a contract, this teacher of yours is training with him for a whole month without a break.” He said with pride. Although in fact Yugi does not want to remember about the hard training of the dragon king.

“For that long, great. Familiar teacher of what race?” ask Vira.

“It...”

Before Yugi answered Vira's question, they finally arrived near the city gate. Yugi looks at Vira where the back of his right hand still bears the symbol of the contract.

“Vira, remove contract symbol.” Yugi.

“Good teacher.” Vira also cut off the flow of Mana which was still slightly flowing in his right hand, when the flow of magic was cut off, the symbol of the contract was lost. “Already.” Further.

“Good, Neo don't stay away from us. You still don't know where we live. Besides being unaccompanied you could have been taken by someone and made a pet by them.” Yugi.

Actually Neo doesn't want to be in the little girl's arms anymore. But hearing Yugi's plausible words, Neo finally could only obey and jump into Vira's arms.

“Emmhh Vira who saw Neo initiative jump into his arms was only able to smile happily, although he had to refrain from stroking Neo's soft fur. Because Neo sent a signal not to do what he didn't like.

Yugi himself feels confused why the employer is instead arranged by his own familiar. Yes, he could not deny that he himself had been ordered by his family in the ability of training for a whole month.

“It turns out you got more attention than I anticipated.” Said Yugi whose words lead to Neo who is in the sling Vira.

“Because Neo looks so i-..”

Vira had not yet finished her words, she was first intimidated by Neo for wanting to call her cute. Vira who saw that just smiled awkwardly with cold sweat on her temple. While Yugi just keep quiet, although in his heart he wants to say that Neo does look cute as a familiar.

“To keep watch, you better not talk to anyone Neo.” Advice Yugi.

For Neo himself to not mind about it, after all he had no interest in talking to anyone else. It might be a shock if someone else knew that Neo was familiar. Because viewed from any angle, Neo is like an ordinary wolf animal.

On the way they found many people gathered in one place. Or rather on one person not far from Yugi. In front of them was a beautiful woman who was the princess of the kingdom of Eartfil. Yugi also gets to know the woman, as they often meet several times and one last time in the mansion where Yugi is on a mission. Yugi stopped walking as the princess approached him. Neo who was in Vira's arms started to rebel again and jumped leaving Vira and Yugi. Vira who sees it pursues Neo unwittingly by Yugi. And now Yugi stands alone without realizing that his student is gone again.

The princess who was already in front of Yugi started to say in a friendly tone. “Looks like you look okay now.” Said princess Lani.

“Yes that way, this is thanks to your help. Thank you.” Yugi said sincerely.

“Not be that formal, how are you feeling now?” ask Lani.

What he asked was definitely about his change when leveling up. For now Yugi feels very strong, like a lot of magic energy that continues to gather in his body.

Of course with a smile Yugi answered Lani's question. “Feeling better than before, even much better.”

“Thank God, I hope our next meeting you don't get poisoned again.” Ejek Lani's.

“I don't think it will..” reply Yugi who does not want to lose.

Their competition does look so spur atmosphere around it. While Lani is still training on the mountain, Yugi accompanies her and they end up training together and competing over who is the greatest. Fortunately the mountain was not destroyed because they were not too serious. If only they were serious what would happen to the fate of the highest mountain of Eartfil. But from there their friendship became close and made Lani tell the truth that she was a princess. For Yugi himself has actually guessed it, because it may be seen from his appearance and ethical way that is very similar to Elsa. Most princesses can be judged from the outside and that makes it easier for Yugi to know Lani's identity. But still she was still a little surprised it turns out Lani is the eldest daughter of the kingdom of Eartfil and is the only princess. Really a fate that is so complicated, somehow Yugi had thought that his destiny was surrounded by nobles.

“Mr daughter.” A royal warrior called out to Lani who was still staring at Yugi with a sense of challenge. But the hostility is stalled when Lani remembers something she had to do.

“I think I got here first.”

Lani's words hint at their rivalry being halted for a while. But before Lani turns to leave Yugi, a remark issued by Yugi makes Lani a little surprised.

“I'll win.”

That one sentence made Lani surprised, but it was still not finished, the next words from Yugi made Lani smile or rather grin.

“Let's meet in arena.” Challenge Yugi.

Lani looks Yugi in the eye where a sharp determination leads to only one goal. Yes it is the desire to win from each of his opponents. Lani felt challenged, her desire also to beat Yugi has not stopped. There is a competition, the desire to fight and understand each other by exchanging attacks is a sign of their friendship. And it will happen, the desire of both will be met someday.

Lani says. “I'm waiting for you. Don't let me down.” then Lani turns around while continuing her sentence. “See you Yugi.”

“Ya, see you.” Reply Yugi. ‘I won't let you down.’ Continue in the heart.

After the departure of princess Lani, Yugi finally turned to look at her disciple and Neo, and of course all she saw was land alone. Somehow he seemed not to allow his eyes to switch from the only student he trained.

“Yes for mercy.” Yugi rubbed his head tired because of the behavior of Vira who could not stay in one place.

In the end Yugi searches for the whereabouts of Vira and Neo. Of course using his detection magic, if not using that technique then it would take a long time. Moreover, this city was extremely vast, for him searching in an ordinary way would only waste his precious time. Not long after his journey to find one girl and one little wolf came to fruition, now Yugi felt Mana Vira around the outskirts of the city. I don't know what Vira is doing now, hopefully there is nothing troublesome, maybe that's what Yugi will think right now.

Yugi runs towards the source of Vira's magic energy, in front of which Yugi can see the figure of a small silver white girl who is stared angrily by an adventurer pointed reddish brown like a street thug. Vira himself just went silent grimacing as if he wanted to cry.

“See what your little animal has done to this shirt of mine.” Angry shouting.

“I'm sorry..” Vira trembled in fear, while Neo who was in his carriage growled furiously at this adventurer in front of him.

Somehow Neo seemed to want to tear apart the adventurers in front of him with great anger, but he remembered the message from Yugi so as not to attract attention. While Vira feels guilty for not being able to keep Neo from doing so. Because the adventurous clothes in front of him were torn by the scratch of Neo.

“How will you replace it hah..” adventurer was even more angry because since earlier the girl in front of him just crying alone.

“I'll pay for it.” Reply Yugi with a voice that is no less firm.

Yugi stood his back to Vira who was frightened and seemed to want to cry. In fact, Vira could beat adventurers like this thug easily, only he felt guilty for not being able to keep his partner. Hence Vira feels responsible for Neo's actions.

“You... heh, quickly give me your money. This shirt I wear is quite expensive.. are you willing to pay.” Sardonic talk of that thug-haired adventurer. In every word, he lied about expensive clothes. Though viewed from anywhere it was just an ordinary adventurer standard shirt.

“Before that I want to know the detailed explanation of this matter. What really happened?” yugi asked the adventurer in front of him.

The adventurer who acts like a thug is said to be arrogant by introducing himself with a cool pretentious style. “My name is Gora, an advanced adventurer.” He pointed at himself with his right thumb, then continued his speech. “The little animal dared to tear my shirt, of course I was angry and asked for compensation to its owner.”

Hearing the short statement that Yugi could not accept, why Neo would want to do this. Rather than just hearing a one-sided explanation, it is better for him to hear the reason of the perpetrator. But in the middle of the crowd these people are at great risk to both himself and Vira. Yugi previously warned that Neo should not talk to anyone but himself and Vira, because it would be the center of attention if the animals along with them were familiar. It was troublesome, but in the middle of the round, Yugi suddenly found a voice heard in his head.

[‘I am innocent..’].

Who'sis that? Yugi was confused, of course because suddenly there was a voice in his head. And he knew well who the culprit of the voice was. Yugi glanced briefly at the back where Neo stayed in Vira's arms.

[‘Is this you Neo?’]

Yugi also said in his heart connected to Neo. It turned out that the one talking to Yugi was Neo who used telepathy somehow.

[‘Yes, this is one of my abilities, I can talk to you over telepathy. Since I am forbidden to speak using my mouth then this is the only way I tell you.’]

It turns out that this ability is one of Neo's that was just discovered by Yugi. A skill that can send words through the mind and send them to the intended person. A highly desirable ability for intelligence people to transmit information in secret. Yugi himself was a little amazed, like not only Yui who could connect in his mind, it turns out there are familiar who have telepathic abilities like this.

[‘What happened?’] Ask Yugi.

[‘When I was walking alone, suddenly the strange adventurer came to me and caught me. He said he wickedly wanted to sell me to the pet store. My pride as a familiar felt humbled, I finally fought back even though it was just a regular physical attack. As a result, I torn his clothes and at that time Vira appeared. Dia...’] Neo does not continue his last words referring to Vira. In his heart Neo feels happy to be protected by Vira, but he does not show it.

While Yugi who realized it just smiled knot and ignored the adventurer Gora who had been waiting for it with annoyance. ‘Your price is so high huh..’ her inner sweetdrop.

“Oi don't ignore me.” Gora was angry with a face that was already reddened. It seemed like he was holding back his anger from earlier, and that emotion was vented on Yugi who ignored him.

“I understand the situation. Isn't what's wrong here is you.” Reply Yugi fiercely. He will never forgive anyone who annoys him or those closest to him. Especially to lie about the mistakes of those closest to him.

“What do you mean, you saw my shirt tear up like this because of the wolf animal's scratch.” Gora still has not relented, he still remains strong against his lies.

“There's no way this blanket animal would do that without cause. So what have you done, let me assume for yourself.You intend to catch and sell pet catapults, because animals like this can sell at a high price. Am I right?”

Right on target, such a strong assumption made the adventurer in front of him unable to answer. Unable to defeat this snow-white mane youth with words, then Gora would resort to the path of violence.

“You better stop it, because it will hurt yourself. In this city there are soldiers on patrol who serve to secure for anyone who fights in the middle of the city. So just undo your intention to go against me.” Yugi's guess again makes Gora unable to dwell, his anger is mounting to hear the dismissive tone of Yugi.

“Whatever I care, I'll kick you here.” The brown aura coming out of adventurer Gora looks crazy because of emotions that can no longer be held back.

But before Gora managed to launch his attack, his body was first wrapped by ice that spread all over his body to the head. Gora who had just realized he had been ice-covered was only able to growl annoyed but could not escape from the ice that froze his body.

“I told you to stop.” Said Yugi casually.

Not long before the two royal soldiers who were on patrol saw the commotion and headed for the source. There the soldier found an adventurer with a reddish-brown unravelling in a pointed style frozen by ice up to his head. On the body of the adventurer was written a message on a piece of paper. It says [Pet thief]. The two soldiers only looked at each other until they agreed to bring the adventurer in for questioning.

While with Yugi, he managed to escape from the problems that would have been even greater if only he remained silent there. Of course Vira was already with him. Now they were on their way to the inn after reporting on the mission they had completed. Just in case, Yugi always holds Vira's right hand so as not to disappear again, while his left hand still carries his familiar. Neo who is still not used to just being able to resigned to be in the arms of Vira.

I wish this day could have gone by sooner...

The kingdom of Vouleftis is known for its fertility because it is close to a volcano. Almost all plants can grow there, the kingdom of Vouleftis led by the king with the title of fire emperor and is a user of fire elements that are famous for its heat like a burning volcano. He has two children of different sexes. The first son was the future king, who was the crown prince named Rexas Vouleftis. While the second was a princess with a beautiful face, red hair smouldering but soft and beautiful look like a fire that danced gracefully, her eyes like a pomegranate were very precious. Such a beautiful body but still in its infancy, this princess was given the title [Fire Rose]. It was beautiful yet dangerous, not just anyone could approach it. Only her parents and her brother are close to her.

Many people are curious about the nature of the princess of the kingdom of Vouleftis, but because of the person who closed himself off from the outside world, not many people know of his form. They can only describe it through their imagination. Even a poet will guess through his words. However, it was still unable to describe her beautiful appearance. It was said that her beauty could defeat the princess of the Northern Esla kingdom. Is it true that, or is it just a mere rumor, why is this second princess so closed off from the outside world? Many questions continue to spread in the head of everyone who is curious about the princess of the kingdom of Vouleftis. The name of the second daughter is...

Duuuaaaarrrrrrr

Such a powerful flame slash from the fiery red-colored sword with its hot coals was grasped by a beautiful woman who was so graceful and beautiful. The typical clothes of the princess who was so easy to wear when using the sword, the previous slash was the work of the woman.

“Today's workouts get here only.”

Hearing the voice instructions of a man who was already two heads stopped the training of the fire red unraveling woman. His sword was sheathed on his left waist slowly and gracefully. Pomegranate eyes glanced at the instructor who stopped her training, the woman smiled then replied to the man's words.

“Good, thank you Dad.”

It turned out that the coach was his own father, they were now in an arid field close to the volcano. There was nothing there, just dry trees and dead shrubs. A suitable place for training full of embers.

“Your capabilities have improved from before, Runa.”

Hearing the praise from her father made Runa's heart become happy. But it was still not enough, because there was a goal he had to achieve. Someone who uses the same sword as him, yet is different and conflicted.

“Dad, is that young man still stronger than me?” ask Runa.

Rouxias Vouleftis who was the king of the Vouleftis kingdom just stared at the second daughter with an unpredictable look. But his lips moved to answer the question from Runa. “Yes, he's very strong. But don't worry, you can definitely beat him.”

Still not enough, it turns out my training so far is still not enough. If that person is indeed stronger than this, then I should be even harder in my training...

My goal is to defeat him, since I have this sword, then only I can defeat him...
