<b>Well I guess that’s to be expected when I am going against a trained Yuki Onna.</b>
<b>It hurts to move. . .but I can endure it. Despite the impact, none of my internal organs are injured. Is my body resistant to it?</b>
<b>“Ara ara, you’re still conscious? Well that is good. Because that means I can enjoy this a bit more.”</b>
<b>W-was that a villain line?</b>
<b>I struggled up and shook my head.</b>
<b>Snow was clinging to my hair and kimono. In fact some snow got in my mouth.</b>
<b>“Bewg.”</b>
<b>I spit the snow out of my mouth and then shook the rest off of me.</b>
<b>It was powdered snow that accumulated. So it easily clung to things.</b>
<b>“Ahahaha, how unsightly.”</b>
<b>“So plain, you got what you deserved.”</b>
<b>I could hear the other snow women spit venom at me in the distance.</b>
<b>They are ugly people all right. But none of their words phase me. Maybe if I was raised to be a graceful diligent maiden it would hurt to be called boring and unsightly, but unfortunately for them, they are merely wasting their breath.</b>
<b>“You should have just laid down and given up, but if you really want to fight. So be it.”</b>
<b>She held up her hand towards me once again.</b>
<b>Ice crystals began to converge.</b>
<b>“Ahahaha, Kouko-chan, Finish it.”</b>
<b>The other snow girls egged her on.</b>
<b>They became more and more vulgar.</b>
<b>This is starting to get scary, and I can’t help but want to just run away.</b>
<b>“I’ll crush you – –”</b>
<b>The particle of ice that gathered around her palms became as small as bullets.</b>
<b>Immediately after it was formed, she shot them in another storm of ice bullets.</b>
<b>“Haah.”</b>
<b>This time I was prepared. I quickly waved my hand. </b>
<b>A whirlwind of wind and ice followed behind hands. It was strong enough to deflect the frozen bullets.</b>
<b>This technique of manipulating a blizzard was taught to me during my mother’s hellish training- – -I honestly still don’t understand the principles behind it, but it is still useful.</b>
<b>Fuu, my mother’s special training saves me once again.</b>
<b>“W-What? So you really are a Yuki Onna?”</b>
<b>The other girls were astonished.</b>
<b>“Fuu, This is no big deal for me.”</b>
<b>I bluffed.</b>
<b>Electric tingling was coursing through my arms that was on the other side of my blizzard. I might have deflected it, but it still really hurt. It was like a child catching an adult thrown baseball. Like yeah, they stopped the ball, but the force of the impact is going to hurt.</b>
<b>She is a pure snow girl that grew up in the mountains. Of course she out skills me in every possible way.</b>
<b>I can’t keep up doing this, my freshly learned abilities can only get me so far.</b>
<b>From my experience when I was a boy, it is a rule that you should avoid fighting somebody stronger than you.</b>
<b>You can’t depend on anime hero victories. So with me knowing that, how do I face this.</b>
<b>It’s stupid to believe I can some how beat them at their own game.</b>
<b>So should I do- – –</b>
<b>I should think outside of the box. But I need to act immediately.</b>
<b>“It’s not over yet!”</b>
<b>“!?!?”</b>
<b>I yelled to put my opponent on guard.</b>
<b>However instead of attacking them with my crude ice attacks.</b>
<b>I shot my snowstorm downward.</b>
<b>Her prepared battle eyes then went into shock.</b>
<b>“What the heck!?”</b>
<b>I continued shooting down in a barrage of effort. Freshly deposited snow fluttered down to form a snow cover all around me.</b>
<b>“W-What, where? I can’t see.”</b>
<b>The force was enough to put a white curtain between us.</b>
<b>The snow was soft and fluffy enough for it to easily float through the air. I hope this was enough to distract her from making any ice bullets, and also it has the added bonus of her not knowing where I am.</b>
<b>On the other hand. I know she isn’t moving. So I know exactly where she is.</b>
<b>I ran with all my might.</b>
<b>To then jump at her.</b>
<b>“Eh?”</b>
<b>From the visage of the smoke screen, I lunged at my opponent. By the time she noticed me and tried to release her ice bullets, it was too late.</b>
<b>“Kyaaa.”</b>
<b>I tackled the surprised girl, pushing her onto the ground.</b>
<b>With them this close, her skill as a Yuki Onna are pointless.</b>
<b>“W-What the?”</b>
<b>I quickly positioned myself in a dominant grapple position.</b>
<b>“!?!?”</b>
<b>It was the mount position. I have a good advantage.</b>
<b>I actually took judo classes when I was a kid, and often sparred with the other boys.</b>
<b>I quickly repositioned myself to entangle her right arm with both of my legs and gripped the end of it.</b>
<b>“Ow, stop. What are you doing?”</b>
<b>I used my own thighs to tighten around my opponent’s appendage and had my feet past her head. She was now in an armlock. I tightened my grip and applied pressure. I can’t go easy on her.</b>
<b>The more she struggles, the more painful it will become.</b>
<b>However she probably doesn’t know better, and will put herself in a worse position.</b>
<b>“Do you want to submit? Say you will, and I’ll quit now. You just have to promise to not hurt those people.”</b>
<b>“Oww, why. . .why do you even care. . .even though you are Yuki Onna.”</b>
<b>“Why. . ? Because I am the snow daughter of Yukino!”</b>
<b>I cried as I tightened my grip.</b>
<b>“Ahh.”</b>
<b>She could not withstand it, and fainted from the pain.</b>
<b>“W-What did you do to Kouko-chan?- – -”</b>
<b>The other Yuki Onnas that were in a daze of confusion snapped out of it and let the men they were holding to the ground. They then dashed towards me. I let go of the fainted girl and faced my new opponents.</b>
<b>“You plain bitch!”</b>
<b>“Ahh!”</b>
<b>“Not the face!”</b>
<b>“How troublesome! Separate from her!”</b>
<b>“Oww, don’t bite!”</b>
<b>Outside the hut with shrills in the air, a complete brawl began.</b>
<b>Another chapter, and I love how Yukiya solved the problem. Sometimes the simplest solution is the best one. Just punch’em. Or tackle them in this case. It pretty much became a cat fight at the end.</b>
<b>I also like how Yukiya isn’t actually OP. or mystically powerful. She is the weak one, and the one in disadvantage. So I love the solution. We’ll see how this goes next chapter.</b>
<b>And that will be in 3-4 days. Maybe sooner. </b>
