Unlike yesterday's weather, it was very sunny today. Only snow was left of yesterday's blizzard, and sunlight reflected off this silvery white world.
Puffs of white smoke rose from the chimneys of the castle town's houses, and the streets buzzed with life. The morning air was chilly but also pleasant, and I heard laughter when I was training outside .
Looking skyward where the sound originated, there they are. Forged of ice and snow: [Snow Fairies], they were 15 centimeters, danced deftly with wings of ice.
Their dance was beautiful, and scales of ice fell wherever they flapped their wings. Their wings also reflected sunlight, glowing in the colors of the rainbow.
Admiring this scenery, it's likely an instinctive fascination.
Snow faries make seasonal appearances in the Sternbild Kingdom, and they are a type of monster that combines grace and viciousness.
ED Zak Note:Placing cuteness here is weird. Changed it to grace as it is attribute that goes with dancing.
Despite their size, their appearance is that of a very beautiful woman or a girl in a pretty dress. But those trying to capture them to sell off as a decoration, would receive an unexpected retaliation.
Specifically, they use their freezing ability to take full advantage of their environment. Even though they're small in size, they are always surrounded by friends, so their fighting ability should be reasonably high.
Even so, since they usually leave you alone if you don't bother them, they are often ignored, or admired at the sight of their dance.
In my case, since I've seen it now, I was wondering what they would taste like, if they had any taste at all. My first attempt at catching them was by using thread from my fingertips to snare 10 of them. If I made a net with my fingers and manipulate it, it's possible to catch all of them at once. However, the thread will quickly freeze, resulting in a sphere of ice, before shattering in the next moment.
The shattered threat sprinkled on the snow like rain of ice.
Hmm, it seems like their freezing ability was stronger than I initially thought, and their physical capabilities have also been underestimated.
ED Note: The google translate said Ryoryoku, which is "膂力". It means muscle strength.
While we're on the topic, it's no surprise they would be angry at you for attempting to catch them. The emotion of the 10 fairies that I tried to catch turned from meek smiles to a look of pure rage.
Forming Ice rapiers in their hands, they generated countless large spikes larger than myself, with their tips all facing me.
ED Note: When I looked up "突剣", what I got was a image of a weapon with an uncanny resemblance to a rapier. After reading the raw, turns out the original word was 氷杭, which also means picket and stake. So spike works.
Emitting killing intent, they flew at me with an impressive formation, representing a Black Wolf's hunting pattern.
Impressed by their power, this time I used the more resilient, stronger golden thread. The snow fairies tried to disperse in a hurry, but they were all caught in the end.
The captured fairies all struggled to freeze the golden thread, but even if it was frozen, the golden threads weren't going to shatter.
Becoming a ball of ice, I caught the falling ball in the air, smashed it with my silver arm, and retrieved its content. After binding all the fairies inside with my golden thread, I killed them by snapping their neck since they were screaming in a high-pitched voice. I tried to eat one and began biting into it.
