"Snow Princess, come out!"
With Fujiwara Reya's summoning, the room's temperature rapidly dropped, and the wandering moisture condensed into delicate, transparent crystals of ice.
Behind him, a faint shadow appeared, and the floating ice crystals seemed drawn toward it, spiraling and merging into the shadow, gradually solidifying into a form.
In the blink of an eye, a woman as crystalline as snow was floating behind him, her feet not touching the ground.
She had an exceptionally beautiful face, with long, silver-white hair exuding a chill, sapphire-blue eyes like exquisite ice crystals, and skin so pale it was almost transparent, with thin veins faintly visible beneath.
Her waist was slender, and her legs were long.
Highlight: white silk camisole socks!
With the Snow Woman's appearance, the previously humid air in the room quickly became dry and frigid, Fujiwara Reya took a deep breath, and *it felt as if the entire world was renewed.*
"Make me a cup of tea, then you can play by yourself for the rest of the time."
Fujiwara Reya needed to work on his math homework next and didn't have time to take his first wife... oops, first Shikigami for a walk.
The Snow Woman remained motionless.
*Her sapphire eyes carried a faint sadness as she coldly watched her master's back.*
"Don't get sulky, hurry up and make tea, remember it's black tea."
The Snow Woman expressionlessly floated toward him.
The cold mist followed in her wake, containing countless ice crystals. Fujiwara Reya turned to look back as the Snow Woman lowered her head, locking eyes with him.
Her voluptuous body was covered in snow and frost; her eyelashes, lips, and hair tips were all invaded by ice and snow.
"I'll only play with you for a while then, consider it a reward for being a dehumidifier."
Fujiwara Reya eventually gave in, stood up, and went to the bathroom to bring back a basin of water.
While he was away, the Snow Woman's face remained expressionless, much like a malfunctioning refrigerator.
Once the water was brought, she crouched down on the floor, her slender, transparent fingers gently dipped into the water.
The water quickly froze.
Then, the Snow Woman lifted her head, looking at her master with her sorrowful blue eyes.
"...It's quite pitiful, it almost feels like I'm abusing you." Fujiwara Reya muttered a sentence, placing his hand on the ice surface.
The Demon Fire instantly melted the ice back into water.
The Snow Woman again dipped her fingers into the water, freezing it into ice.
Fujiwara Reya once more melted the ice back into water.
This interaction, as foolish as it was, was played out by the two yokai for a whole hour.
Fortunately, no one saw it, or else Fujiwara Reya might have felt so ashamed that he'd escape to Hidden God Town under the cover of night with a train on his back.
"Alright, if we keep playing, I'll be punished to stand tomorrow!" He reached out to touch the Snow Woman's cold forehead, smiling affectionately, "Go make some tea, I need to continue my homework."
The Snow Woman reluctantly glanced at the basin before turning to the kitchen to boil water for tea.
Fujiwara Reya watched her graceful figure, sighing in regret.
*Such a well-developed and stunningly beautiful yokai, yet unfortunately, still just a baby in terms of IQ...*
*Shikigami extracted by the system all had this issue, their behavioral logic seemed a bit like artificial stupidity, or maybe they were like infants in terms of their configured personality. They had a very vague concept of "self," completely unlike living individuals with independent thinking.*
*To improve this issue, one could only rely on the awakening of the Shikigami, and the awakening task required long-term companionship and nurturing, ensuring the bond level reached 100, and it also must be triggered by finding a yokai in the real world that corresponded to the awakening Shikigami...*
*It could only be said that everything was contingent upon fate.*
*Even if Fujiwara Reya wanted to grind away at it, there still wasn't a direction with which to grind.*
About ten minutes later, the Snow Woman returned to the room carrying a tray with a teacup and a teapot.
After placing the black tea on the table, she squatted silently in front of the basin, unmoving, only occasionally flicking her hair away from her forehead. From Fujiwara Reya's point of view, she looked more and more like an ice sculpture.
When Fujiwara Reya finished his math homework, she was still there, staring blankly at the ice in the basin.
In those sapphire eyes, no emotion surfaced.
Just as the setting described her, fragile, gentle, melancholy, the icy Snow Woman never cried nor laughed, never felt sadness or joy. Her heart might have been as cold as her exterior, and no one knew what she had experienced in the past.
Fujiwara Reya picked up the ice-cold black tea from the table, taking a sip to moisten his throat.
"Snow Princess," he put down the teacup.
The Snow Woman straightened up, tilting her head slightly as she looked at him.
"Come and eat something." Fujiwara Reya gazed at the white pantyhose peeking out from under her skirt, which reached down to her thighs, and thought that the legs wrapped in this white silk were indeed delightful, the kind that could be admired for years.
The Snow Woman's crystalline lips subtly moved.
Even though she couldn't understand what Fujiwara Reya said, the memory etched into her body made her instinctively drift over, sitting atop Fujiwara Reya's lap, her posture elegantly framing her beautiful legs encased in white silk.
Fujiwara Reya suddenly thought of a question.
The Snow Woman's body was light and soft but felt like ice to the touch, cold and icy.
*Her surface was cold, but what about the inside of her body?*
*Just thinking about it felt a bit chilling.*
Shivering unexpectedly, Fujiwara Reya murmured, "You don't have to act so intimate, or I'll feel guilty for taking advantage of a fool."
The Snow Woman blinked her eyes, expressing confusion.
"Alright, pretend I never said anything." Fujiwara Reya stroked her icy hair, then opened the system interface, and a simple blue panel appeared in his sight.
[Name: Fujiwara Reya]
