Chapter 3: The Endless Sea

Here it is, snow-covered mountains. yes

At over 6,000 feet, the towering altitude brings with it thin air and icy temperatures, plus it's located at the southernmost tip of the planet, and the snow is cold to the bone.

Here, it should be a desperate situation where no one lives. When the water is clear, there are no fish, and if it is too pure and plain white, it can no longer contain life.

However, the silver-gray metal plates build a flat cylindrical building in the middle of this Jedi, and the warm lights emitted by the life maintenance device clearly prove the taste of human civilization in this no-man's land.

"Well, it's also snowing heavily today."

In the warm building, the man enjoying the heating leaned against the wall, ignoring the cold touch from where his shoulders touched the wall, and he said to himself as he looked at the wall with his black eyes, as if he had seen through the metal plate, locked in the wind and snow.

The blizzard in Antarctica, only if you have experienced it yourself, will you understand what kind of desperate scenery it is. Visibility was less than a meter, and the gray color was curled with dirty white.

Fortunately, it was just an ordinary snowstorm today, and the visibility was not bad, and I could vaguely see the blue sky.

What's even more fortunate is that the man is in the absolute safety of the field separated from this cold wall, and he doesn't need to experience the extreme cold to the bone.

Unfortunately, because he was hiding within a safe wall, he didn't have a chance to see the snow, and all he could see was the cold wall panels. He can know the weather outside today because the smart terminal in his hand is showing the weather outside the museum.

He wears a white shirt and black trousers underneath, with a simple color scheme and a cut that fits his body. The neckline is decorated with a symbol made of the letter G and the letter O, which is the symbol of the Chaldean security organization of this place, which is also known as the Chaldean uniform.

The man's name is Yukisai Yagi.

As the name suggests with the black hair and black eyes, he is Oriental, or Japanese, to be exact. An island nation from the Far East, chosen because of some kind of [qualification], became a member of this Chaldea about half a year ago, and was trained.

With a height of more than 1.8 meters, it is tall and tall among Japanese people whose average height is not outstanding.

Black hair, black eyes, yellow skin, always with a smile on the corner of the mouth, what is the feeling of confidence in this expression? Or does it feel frivolous if it's too relaxed? Then it is unknown.

Now he is concentrating on enjoying a rare leisure time, and the corners of his eyebrows and eyes are full of the comfort of lazy work.

Suddenly, the sound of clattering footsteps rang out from the hallway, and his eardrums picked up the sound and made him look away - the clatter sound that was apparently the heel of a woman's high heel caught his attention.

"Ah...... Yagi Senpai ......"

As if noticing him, the purple-haired girl who hurried over slowed down, and the sound of the clattering in the corridor immediately subsided. Sure enough, the voice that disturbed her peace and rest was made by her.

"Yo, Matthew."

He greeted her familiarly.

According to everyone's ability and the results of the simulated battle, the Chaldea divided the 47 elites who were scheduled to be selected. The seemingly weak girl in front of him now is one of the famous members of Group A, Matthew Gileadlet.

She's a girl with a petite figure and glasses that is closer to pink and purple short hair than silver, for some reason, she always has a sense of humility similar to inferiority, obviously as an elite in Group A, but she doesn't think highly of herself at all, on the contrary, it gives people a sense of timidity. Yagi Yukisai's impression of her can be said to be extremely deep.

Matthew's height is a lot shorter than Yagi Yukisai, and standing in front of him, probably only up to his chest, petite girls are always easy to arouse the desire of others to protect. Especially cute girls. She is wearing a gray and white patchwork jacket, and a black shirt and red tie inside, this layered color combination makes her already delicate figure more feminine.

What makes Yagi puzzled is why Matthew is so inconspicuous, generally speaking, such a cute girl should be the existence of the moon held by the boys' stars? But he hadn't actually been to a normal school, and he didn't know what was going on......

By the way, Yukisai Yagi is a member of Group B.

Even the leader of Group B is still a head lower than Group A, and he always has to look at the faces of those [elites], not to mention that the [magician] group always takes honor as something that cannot be eaten as a meal too seriously, making it look like the [caste] of the feudal era, and Matthew's attitude of talking to himself without a frame is thankful for him.

"What's the matter, it's rare to see you so flustered."

Seeing the panic between her eyebrows, Yagi Yukisai asked her with a relaxed smile.

He and Matthew had met a lot, but they didn't talk much, so they didn't know much about each other. However, in his impression, Matthew has always been a good girl with her head bowed, and she looks like a good girl who doesn't talk much, and if she is not careful, she will miss her, giving people a feeling that she is inconspicuous and will not waver, like a pebble.

By the way, there will be a very important meeting next, and the objectives and contents of the Chaldean battle will be explained at this meeting.

It's a pity that Yagi Yukisai didn't prepare to go in advance, he would rather stay in the corridor and watch the fake snow scene in the terminal than bother to face the arrogant female director - he always felt that she would scold himself.

In other words, Yagi Yukisai is very idle now, and when people are bored, they always want to find something to do.

Hearing that he had a tendency to help, Matthew nodded at him slightly in respect:

"Yes, because Fufu is gone. I'm looking for it. ”

Matthew came out of his mouth with a rather cute and unfamiliar name.

Fufu sounds like a pet name, but in fact, it's not human. According to Matthew's description, it was a squirrel-like creature, somewhat dog-like, with long ears and a bit like a rabbit, in short, a fluffy creature.

This little thing seems to be living freely in the Chaldees, but few people have seen it except Matthew, and Yagi Yukisai is the same. He accepted this as a "quirk" of Matthew.

It's normal, magicians have more or less their own quirks! After all, they are a collection of [weirdos]! Even if Matthew is a girl who likes to make up pets out of thin air and caress them...... Isn't that even cuter?

"So, I'll help you find it too, right?"
