Side Chapter 3: Frostnova feeling

It's been a long journey, and as I look back, I realize my father would be happy if I called him. I'm still embarrassed about it. Our group, which has traveled far, has finally come to a rest, or so I thought, until I met him and her.

Meeting him filled me with hope for the future, even in hopeless circumstances. Despite his worried expression, he warmed my heart, even if I was considered his enemy. As for her, although it wasn't my first encounter with a Sankta, I found her peculiar in some ways. She cured my Oripathy simply by holding my hand, and I couldn't be completely honest with her about it.

After that, I discussed my meeting with him and her. He patted my head as usual, and we eventually decided to meet them both together. However, I felt that doing so would betray Talulah. She has changed too much, and my father wanted to confront her, but I held him back, sensing that they would do something about her.

Then the day of our meeting arrived, but unexpectedly, my father attacked her. To my surprise, she fought back fiercely, even managing to ensnare him with a giant plant. When I tried to help, the next thing I knew, I had passed out, and when I woke up, everything was over.

Of course, I scolded my father for not informing me about the attack. The rest of the Yeti squad also hadn't been told anything. When I asked, he said it was a personal matter and a test. I couldn't accept that reasoning, especially since he could have died. He insisted he wouldn't, but when I pressed for details, he dodged the question.

I suspected it was because my father was a Wendigo, but he never explained anything to me. I glanced at the other members and noticed one who had a similar aura to my father. When I asked him about her, he replied,

"That is the aura of a knight. When she finds someone she is willing to serve, she will grow in many ways. What intrigues me is that Aslan girl; she radiates a royal aura, which means she will become a queen and lead her people one day."

"Rhodes Island is so vast,"

I thought, considering the variety of members within it. Now I was one of them. As I approached the Doctor, I noticed the two girls—Aslan and Kuranta—whom my father and I had spoken about earlier. However, I realized I didn't know their names yet, so I stepped closer to them.

"It's a pleasure to meet you. My codename is Frostnova. May I ask what yours is?"

"Oh, sorry about earlier; we were a bit rough. My codename is Nearl, and I'm part of the Followers in Rhodes Island. But aside from that, are you feeling okay now? Alisia's punch must have hurt."

"Oh, I'm fine! Aside from losing consciousness, I don't feel any pain. I didn't even realize I had fallen from just one punch, but I see now that her name is Alisia."

"Yes, at Rhodes Island, we tend to use codenames. Only Alisia uses her real name, but I think Kal'tsit will soon make her choose a different codename since she’s going to be famous."

"Indeed. Nearl, could you introduce me to this girl?"

"Oh, sorry, I forgot! Her codename is Siege. For more details, you'll need to ask Kal'tsit; I don’t know much either."

"Alisia, are you coming to meet the Doctor as well?"

Siege asked, looking intently at me. I felt a bit of pressure from her gaze, wondering if this was what my father meant by a royal aura. I slowly nodded, and we headed to the tent together. As the tent door opened, revealing the Sankta girl who had treated me, and I noticed a kiss mark on her neck.

Seeing it made me blush, and I noticed the others blushing too. Alisia, however, seemed oblivious to the kiss mark as she asked what we were doing there. Nearl explained while I continued to stare at the mark on Alisia's neck. Then I noticed Siege gazing at the Doctor's tent, and eventually, we decided to wait since the Doctor was sleeping.

When the Doctor finally woke up, we entered and were hit by a strong smell. Both Nearl and Siege blushed hard and looked away, while my stronger sense of smell made it manageable, though I felt myself blushing too.

The Doctor scratched his head, apologizing for the smell and his recent behavior toward both Siege and Nearl, admitting he had been acting strangely. They forgave him, but I was confused about what he meant. When I tried to ask, the Doctor dodged my question and began discussing plans about Chernobog with Nearl and Siege.

After they finished, I was left alone with the Doctor. He smiled and asked me about the squad and what I had been doing recently. But when I inquired about his interaction with Alisia, he blushed and scratched his cheek.

"Well, it’s just a reminder that while I'm good at strategizing, I'm still physically weak."

He then spoke about his experience, revealing that he was sexually assaulted by both Alisia and Blaze, with Alisia being the one who initiated it. Afterward, he noticed changes in his body due to his increased sexual activity, even engaging with both Kal'tsit and Amiya.

Although I felt jealous, I knew that keeping quiet was best for now, as it seemed the Doctor was depressed. He expressed his feelings of guilt about being sexually active and even mentioned planning to pursue more encounters. In frustration, he banged his head on the table, and I had to intervene to make him stop.

Later, Alisia noticed the Doctor's behavior and stated that his horniness was her fault. After speaking with Ace, she decided to accept her punishment, and we continued our journey towards Chernobog.

Surprisingly, Amiya managed to defeat Talulah. While I knew she was strong, I had thought it impossible for her to take down Talulah, even with the help of that Lung girl. Nevertheless, they succeeded. Even more shocking was the news that W had decided to join Rhodes Island.

Now that Reunion has ended, most of the leaders are gone, especially after Talulah was captured by Nine, the leader of the Originium Saint Defender—a group she founded, inspired by the original Reunion. However, their aim is different; they plan to build a city to serve as a safe haven for the Infected, which would make it easier for Alisia to cure them.

Initially, Father was intrigued by the idea but ultimately chose not to join, wanting to stay by Alisia's side. However, Big Bob decided to follow her instead. After a farewell, we said our goodbyes. What surprised me the most was that Lung, now going by Ch'en, had retired from the L.G.D. and joined Rhodes Island.

Driven by jealousy, I talked to Amiya about how to get into bed with Doctor. She then introduced me to a girl with the codename Blaze, and they explained the plan: to make Alisia drink alcohol so she would become wild with Doctor, giving us a chance to join in.

Confused, I asked why we needed Alisia. They informed me that a small owl was guarding Doctor, and it turned out to be Alisia's pet. This puzzled me since I couldn't see any owl, but they explained that it could turn invisible, making it undetectable.

The plan was working until Alisia noticed us and smiled while I could see she was drunk. Her movements were quick, and suddenly, I felt strange. The next thing I knew, I was asleep, naked, next to Doctor, and somehow Amiya had joined us as well.

Content, I decided to go back to sleep, hugging Doctor on his left side. I realized Alisia had managed to get to him first, but I thanked her for the opportunity to meet Doctor and become one of his.

Thinking this, I slowly fell asleep.
