[Book 2] Gate Guardian - Song of the Frozen Soul

PHASE 35 - WE ADOPTED A NEW TSUNDERE KITTEN

PHASE 35 - WE ADOPTED A NEW TSUNDERE KITTEN

It’s been months since I last held my lover’s hand, and I’d say it’s as smooth and warm as ever. Tiara’s hand is like a heated clay dough that you can squeeze and play with it. Walking hand-in-hand, we made a final tour in this Realm of the Frozen Soul.

Having the <Frosthalia> out of Tiara’s heart, she is no longer sealed as the Frozen Soul. The connection of the Heavenly Blade of Eternity from both of us will be severed once we exit this place. So this is the final moment where we’ll have to see the crystallization of our love together for all the seven million timelines Tiara went through.

When we went in front of the frozen sword, the diamond blades twinkled with rainbows. It’s as if it is also saying its final goodbye to us.

“<Frosthalia>...” I muttered. “Thanks for saving me. Thanks for saving Tiara. Thanks for saving everyone. And thank you for choosing and trusting me.”

When I looked at my side, I noticed that Tiara was staring at my face. She’s smiling innocently, like a child who just presented her kindergarten Valentine's card to her parents.

“I’m sure <Frosthalia> will miss you too, Rikkun.” Tiara chuckled.

“Yeah.” I matched her smile. “But there’s something I missed more.”

“Eh?” Tiara adorably tilted her head. “What is it, Rikkun?”

“Guess.” I held my chin up high.

“Ah! I know it!” Tiara pumped her fists. “You’re trying to flirt! Then I’ll guess it then! Y-You... miss my k-kiss?” Tiara blushed as she said that sentence.

“I miss that too, but there is something more that I wanted for a very long time.” I waved my index finger, indicating that she’s wrong.

“Y-You miss my hugs then?” Tiara pressed her face forward jollily.

“That’s the second on my list. But not the first one.” I said.

“Auuu…” Tiara cried. After a second, her lightbulb went bright. “Y-You miss our master-and-dog foreplay!”

“Not that…” I sighed with disappointment. 

“Auuu…” Tiara cried once again. “What is it, Rikkun? I can’t think of anything else…” 

“Your punch.” I made an innocent smile.

“E-EEEEEEH!?” Tiara’s eyes opened wide. 

“Uh… Tiara…” I scratched my head as I embarrassingly scratched the back of my head. “Can you… punch me? In the nose, please... I quite miss it.”

“Eeeeeeh!?” Tiara shrieked once again. “W-What are you talking about, Rikkun!?”

“Please punch me, Tiara!” I knelt down as if she’s my personal Buddha. “I really wanted you to punch me! I don’t want to think of this as a dream, so please punch me!”

“I-I-I don’t know what’s happening to you, Rikkun…” Tiara held her chest. “B-But if you insist… here it is!”

Tiara bent her right elbow and channeled healing energy on her fist. With a perfect angle of momentum and right force, she unleashed a powerful right straight aiming at my nose!

“<Healing Punch>!!!”

Boom! The dimension shattered, and there was a fast shockwave that dissolved immediately.
