Chapter 97
Valentine ran through the depths of the forest where she appeared.
She continued running at an incredible speed, at which the eye of normal humans could not detect her, for half a day, until finally reaching an area plagued with large snow-capped mountains.
… I wonder what kind of issues humans will have in a place like this.
Even Valentine, a Wicked, believed that this was an inappropriate place to live, both for humans and for demons.
However, Valentine’s search magic had revealed that there were a significant number of people gathered in this place, which is why she had come here.
Valentine is organizing the information she had at the same time as a series of doubts began to appear in his head.
When Valentine left the sea of trees, her surroundings changed completely, revealing a vast snowy plain that stretched out in front of her.
There were numerous buildings, around which there were a large number of people doing something with the snow.
「… Wh-What are they… doing…?」
Valentine, who could not understand what was happening in front of her, stopped her march.
… What are these humans doing with the snow in the middle of this cold? They seem to be sliding down the hill with something and throwing snow at each other…
Valentine, who had changed her form to a more human one, began to walk along the plain while watching what the surrounding people were doing.
As a result, she discovered that,
It seems that this place only was full during winter. The plain she was in seemed to be something called slope. The people around seemed to be playing something called 「Snow Games」, like skiing and sledding.
Valentine, who got those pieces of information,
… What? What is that thing they call skiing and sledding?
… Why are they playing in the middle of this cold? Do they want to freeze to death??
The more information she managed to gather, the greater the confusion she felt.
Valentine, who could not understand the situation she was in,
… For now, let’s try to experience what they call Snow Games.
came up with that idea.
◆ ◇
「Uliminus, are you planning to make me sled again today!?」
The first thing Slape saw when he went down the slope was to Uliminus, carrying a sign that said 「Sledding Service Reception」, while handing out tickets with an excited look.
Several people had already gathered in front of Uliminus.
At the moment when Uliminus noticed Slape, she looked at him, and with her thumb up, said, 「It’s alright nya, today I am also offering riding courses nya!」, with a confident look .
「I don’t know what that means」, said Slape, shaking his head from side to side as he let out a sigh.
However, there were already too many people waiting for their turn to ride Slape, while watching him with huge smiles on their faces.
「Look, that Mister over there is Mr. Horse」, told a mother to her son while pointing at Slape.
Slape, after seeing that, let out a sigh and said, 「From noon onwards I will spend my time with Risley and Bireri」.
Then, after confirming that Uliminus had understood, he changed the shape of the lower half of his body to that of a horse.
Valentine, who was transformed into human, was in the middle of the Sledding Service line.
… This seems to be the most popular attraction on the slope today…
Said Valentine looking forward while waiting for her turn.
Ahead was a person half man half horse, who after taking the rope that was tied to the sled, began to pull this as he climbed the slope.
At that moment, each of the people riding the sled, regardless their gender or age, began to scream with smiles on their faces.
Then, when they reached the top of the slope, the people slid to the bottom of it.
During that tour, each of the people on the sled began to scream even louder than before.
Valentine couldn’t help falling into even deeper confusion while looking at that.
… They were just sliding through the snow, weren’t they?… so why do they look so happy?
Then, while Valentine was immersed in her thoughts, 「Hey nya! Miss, can you hear me nya?」, Uliminus, with some tickets in her hands, started calling her with a smile on her face.
Valentine, who felt confused due to her sudden appearance, was unable to respond immediately.
Uliminus, with her head bowed, 「Is something wrong nya? Miss, have you not yet decided nya?」, ask that while holding a ticket for the sled in her right hand, and a sled for riding in her left hand.
「Th-Then… I’d like to take… one ticket for the sled」
「Understood nya, it will be 1 Lead Coin nya, if you have a coupon, you can take 6 tickets for 5 Lead Coins nya」
「Eh? Errrm, do I have to pay?」
「Nya」
Valentine, who did not expect having to pay, was surprised after discovering that.
However, there was no way that Valentine, who just arrive from the Evil World, had some money from this world, which made her go even more in panic.
… Aah, although my turn had finally come
Uliminus, noticing that Valentine was starting to panic, ask, 「Miss, Is there anything bothering you nya? Could it be that you lost your money nya?」.

「I… Errrm, I…」
Valentine, who didn’t know what to say, nodded slightly as she began to babble in a low voice.
Then,
Uliminus nodded to herself, and said, 「What a problem nya, I suppose I should let you pass for free nya」, while leading Valentine to the sled.
… Wh-What… What a nice lady!
Valentine thought to herself at the same time that, for the first time in her life, shed tears of thanks.
Valentine stood still and silently on the sled after sliding down the slope.
Then, Valentine, whose lips and cheeks seemed to be shaking,
… Th-That slip… the cold wind, and even the snow… they felt so nice…
muttered that to herself while, *Ho~u*, let out a deep sigh.
Then, Valentine went to the sled rental station to borrow one of the sleds that were about to be discarded. Then, after obtaining one, she began to climb the slope to slide down it again and again.
… I would never have imagined that there was so much fun in this world
Valentine thought as she rode on the sled with an ecstatic look and an agitated breath.
The sleigh that Valentine had borrowed finally reached its limit and broke, forcing Valentine to roam the ski slope with a faded look.
Then, a short time later, she saw several people with children playing with what appeared to be snowballs.
「Errrm… What are you doing?」, asked Valentine, motivated by her curiosity, to a man who was nearby.
「Hum? this? It’s a snowball fight, we throw snowballs like this and-… 」
While saying that, the man ― Gozaru ― was hit in the face by a snowball thrown by Lys.
「All right! Gozaru is out!」
「Damn! I was in the middle of a conversation! That doesn’t count! Doesn’t count!」
Gozaru began to protest, while letting out his magical power in the direction of Lys, who was laughing at him.
「Gozaru-san! Fights are not allowed!」, said Furio, who appeared at his side, as he grabbed Gozaru’s hand to suppress the magical power he had begun to release.
Then,
Despite the incredible amount of magical power released by Gozaru, and the irrational abilities, which a normal human should not possess, that Furio had exhibited, Valentine, completely ignored the exchange between those two while staring at the snowball.

「… If you’re interested, would you play with us?」
Furio, aware that Valentine seemed interested in what they were doing, asked her that with a smile on his face.
「It is okay?」, asked Valentine with a bright look.
Then, Valentine, who was allowed to join the snowball fight with Furio and his Family, began making snowballs and throwing them over and over again with an innocent look on her face.
Then, when her face was hit by the snowballs thrown by Barissa and Bireri, 「Bas-Bastardas! how dare you to attempt against this great Valentine-sama!?」 , Valentine shouted that angrily as she began to generate innumerable threads of her hands.
「Oh my! You are a Wicked? No, first of all, you can’t get to use that kind of powers in a place like this, you know?」, said Furio, who appeared at her side instantly, while grabbing Valentine’s right hand and making disappear each one of the threads she had generated.
「You cannot use the Power of Evil nor magic during a snowball fight. That would take away all the fun」, said Furio as he lifted his index finger.
「Ah, I’m sorry」, replied Valentine obediently as she lowered her head like a little girl.
「Umu, Valentine-dono, should refrain from reacting in that way for things as insignificant as this」, said Gozaru while laughing.
「Wasn’t you who was about to throw magic at us just a little while ago」, said Barissa.
「U-Umu, my bad」, babbles Gozaru while stroking his head in shame.
After that, Valentine continued to enjoy the snowballs with Furio and his Family until the sun went down.
NT: What on freaking hell is this adorable creature?
After saying goodbye to Furio with a smile, Valentine began to walk down the slope with a huge smile on her face.
Valentine, by the orders of the Evil God, had come into this world to punish the Demon King Yuiguard, who had revealed himself against them, and then destroy and kill every living being she found here, however, at this time, she no longer had desires to do that.
Valentine began to run from the snowy mountain to the place where she had been a little more than half a day ago, the ruins of the sanctuary where she appeared, and in which there were still traces of the magical power of the Evil Magic Stones.
She intended to destroy that place.
There were still some traces of the magical power of the Evil Magic Stones in these ruins.
It was thanks to that that Valentine was able to reach this world, however, if she left it as it was, it was possible that some other Wicked could come to this world in the same way she had done.
「That’s right… it is not necessary for another Wocked to come into this world」, said Valentine as she walked toward the ruins.
… I want to enjoy much more… of this world full of fun
Then, Valentine used all the remaining Evil Magic Power in her body to launch a powerful attack against the ruins.
The ruins, which had been directly impacted by her attack, disappeared without leaving anything but a large hole in the place where they were before.
Valentine began to walk towards the hole to verify that the ruins have been completely destroyed.

Then, the next moment
The earth beneath her feet gave way, causing Valentine to fall into the trap she had walked on.
… N-No
Valentine desperately extended her hand to one of the edges of the hole.
However, her hands failed to reach anything, letting her fall into the void.
Valentine had already exhausted all her strength and had no way of saving herself.
Valentine, on the verge of death, thought,
… I wanted to live in this world…
as she extended her hand to the sky with tears in her eyes.
*Gashi~《grab》*
Then, the next moment, Valentine’s outstretched hand was held tightly by someone from the end of the hole.
「… Eh?」
Valentine couldn’t help looking at the entrance of the hole without understanding what was happening.
「He~y! Ririanju, Tsuya! Start pulling my legs! Or else I will also end up falling!」
At the entrance the hole was the Blond Hero, holding Valentine’s hand tightly.
「Eeeh!? She already fell into your trap, why are you trying to help her now~!? 」
「Blond Hero-dono, that woman is a Wicked! Her survival will only bring misfortunes to this world! Why are you helping her!?」
Tsuya and Ririanju asked respectively, unable to understand the reason behind the actions of the Blond Hero.
Then, the Blond Hero turned his gaze to those two, and shouted, 「You’re make too much fuss! My instincts tell me I shouldn’t kill her! So move fast!」.
Valentine could only look toward the entrance of the hole with a perplexed look on her face.
