On the ship bound for the Land of Snow, Asama Santayu hesitated before revealing the truth to the director and actors.
"I apologize for deceiving you all, but it was for the future of the Land of Snow."
Asama Santayu knelt on the ground, his expression sorrowful. "We need Miss Koyuki to lead us in rebellion. The people of the Land of Snow await their true ruler."
Actor 1 murmured, "So, Yukie is really a princess?" (Fujikaze Yukie, Koyuki's stage name.)
Actor 2 complained, "What is this all about? We're just here to film, we don't want to get involved in any trouble."
"I am truly sorry!"
Disagreements raged within the cabin, with most actors demanding the director turn back immediately. However, "Princess Dairiku's Grand Adventure" had reached its final episode, leaving them little time for filming. Missing this opportunity would leave many viewers disappointed.
On the deck, Lin Yu was fishing alone. Kakashi sat at the stern, watching Naruto and the other two skim across the water, ostensibly to train, but in reality, to keep the brats from disturbing him as he read his comic books.
Suddenly, a rift opened above the deck, and a noble, beautiful woman landed on the planks. Kaguya Otsutsuki had arrived.
"You're here, want to fish with me?" Lin Yu patted the small stool and fishing rod he had prepared for her.
Kaguya's gaze was cold, and she did not reply. She didn't understand why she had inexplicably agreed to Lin Yu's invitation to see snow last night. Snow was everywhere in her ice and snow dimension.
If she wished, she could instantly cover an entire space with snow.
Kaguya also couldn't understand why Lin Yu, who possessed spatial traversal abilities, would choose to travel to the Land of Snow on such a slow sailing ship.
Seeing Kaguya's lack of response, Lin Yu turned back to look at the slightly dazed woman and said with a gentle smile, "It was my oversight. Kaguya, your attire is not suitable for traveling."
Lin Yu put down his fishing rod, stood up, and said to Kaguya, "Follow me."
Kaguya examined her attire, a simple white robe adorned with a black comma-shaped pattern. A hint of confusion appeared in her pure white eyes. Was there something wrong with her clothing?
Seeing Kaguya still standing there blankly, Lin Yu reached out and took her sleeve, leading her towards the cabin. However, after only a few steps, a strange expression crossed Lin Yu's face.
Kaguya initially intended to shake Lin Yu off, but upon sensing the familiar and alluring chakra, her fair fingers, hidden beneath her robes, subtly clasped Lin Yu's arm.
She would just absorb it for a little while, it shouldn't be noticed, right?
...
In a guest room in the cabin, Koyuki Kazahana had woken up. Gazing at the vast sea and snow-capped mountains outside the window, she felt her world collapsing.
She had finally arrived at the place where her nightmare began.
She only remembered being glanced at by that detestable red-haired youth, and then she had fainted. When she woke up again, she was already on her way to the Land of Snow.
"Why, why do this meaningless thing?"
Koyuki knew Asama Santayu's reason for wanting her to return to the Land of Snow, but they could never succeed. The enemy's power was deeply etched into her heart; ordinary people could not resist them.
Koyuki clutched the six-pointed crystal at her chest, and a tear traced a path down her cheek.
"Father, what should Koyuki do..."
*Bang!*
The door was suddenly flung open. Koyuki, in a flustered state, tidied her slightly disheveled clothes and yelled angrily at the newcomer, "Why is it you again? Don't you know how to knock? You're not welcome here!"
Lin Yu said in surprise, "You're already awake? It seems you have a good constitution."
"Get out!"
Koyuki's face turned ashen. This scoundrel had knocked her out and now he was complimenting her constitution. She was a professional actress, it was normal for her to have a good physique, wasn't it?
"Ahem, sorry, that... I wanted to borrow one of your clothes..."
*Slap!*
A blue pillow, carrying Koyuki's faint floral scent, was thrown at Lin Yu.
"You! You! You're a scoundrel!"
Koyuki's chest heaved dramatically. As one of the buttons was undone, Lin Yu could glimpse a breathtaking expanse of white, along with deep, alluring cleavage.
Seeing the growing coldness in Koyuki's beautiful eyes, Lin Yu, with a sigh, walked in. Why wouldn't these people let him finish speaking?
Koyuki saw Lin Yu approaching and instinctively pulled the blanket tighter around herself, exclaiming in alarm, "Don't do anything reckless! Here are the clothes, you can get them yourself."
Seeing Lin Yu make no move to reply and still approach her with a melancholic expression, Koyuki's mind conjured a terrifying thought.
"You, you don't mean... you want the one I'm wearing, do you?"
Due to her profession, Koyuki had encountered men with peculiar tastes in many scripts.
Some liked little lolis, some liked black stockings and delicate feet, and some liked role-playing... but liking someone's worn clothes was a first for her.
However, it was only clothes, Koyuki retracted her slender legs from beneath the blanket. If Lin Yu pushed his luck and asked for her panties, she would definitely take him down with her!
Lin Yu was unaware that his simple words had conjured a melodramatic epic in the young girl's mind. He merely wanted Kaguya, who was behind him, to enter. This was a sailing ship, not a cruise liner; the room was small and narrow, with only three or four steps from the door to the bed.
Just as Lin Yu was about to explain to Koyuki, he saw her face flush crimson as she shouted angrily, "Don't even think about it, I would never give you what I'm wearing..."
"Lin Yu, aren't you done yet?"
Before Koyuki could finish speaking, Kaguya walked in from the doorway. Her cold gaze swept over Koyuki, who was lying on the bed. That single glance left Koyuki stunned in place.
What a beautiful woman, as if she had stepped out of a poem or a painting. At this moment, Koyuki felt that even with her status as the princess of the Land of Snow, she would pale in comparison to the woman before her.
Kaguya's beauty was breathtaking, a fleeting glimpse that seemed to transcend the mortal realm.
Lin Yu coughed to break the silence, "Actually, what I wanted to say earlier was that I wanted to borrow her clothes."
Seeing that Koyuki's gaze was still fixed on Kaguya, Lin Yu couldn't help but step in front of her.
Could this woman have taken a liking to his Kaguya? He had to be wary.
Koyuki snapped back to reality, her face flushing like glazed pottery. She stole a glance at Kaguya and muttered softly, "You should have just said so clearly from the beginning."
Koyuki didn't want to yield to Lin Yu, but Kaguya's aura was too overwhelming. Just standing there made Koyuki feel like a mere maid, while Kaguya was the true princess.
"My clothes... will she be able to fit into them?"
Kaguya wore loose white robes, and her figure was not clearly visible. However, her tall stature alone made Koyuki feel leagues behind.
"The costume is quite loose, she can try it on," Lin Yu said, turning to ask Kaguya's opinion.
"Never mind, this is fine," Kaguya didn't want to change. Her current mood was something she couldn't comprehend herself.
She wanted to leave immediately and enhance her strength to face future Otsutsuki members, yet she also wanted to stay and see how the snow here differed from the snow in her dimension.
"How about this one? I think you'll look stunning in it, Kaguya!"
Kaguya's eyes twitched as Lin Yu held up a colorful garment and gestured with it, holding it against her.
I really want to absorb this guy to death right now!
