Villain: After I died, all the heroines cried themselves to sleep.

The first snowfall of winter has stopped.

It has been some time since I returned to the capital from Guangzhou.

Rod exhaled a breath of hot air, picked up his coffee cup, and walked to the window in the study.

Looking down from the building.

The courtyard was covered with a thick layer of white snow.

Based on past experience, Ange and Luna would have a snowball fight in the courtyard at this time.

When the relationship is bad, they go all out and fight fiercely; when the relationship is good, they engage in clumsy and ugly brawls.

But none of those apply today.

They were wearing thick winter clothes, rolling snowballs in the courtyard, and each building a snowman.

"Hey ya... hey ya..."

Luna rolled her snowball higher than herself, and even used a spell to strengthen her body, continuing to build the snowball taller.

It looks like they want to make a giant snowman that's even taller than the mansion.

Anyone who didn't know better would think they were about to break down the wall.

It reminds humanity of the fear of being dominated by giants.

On the other hand, Anjie was exerting her efforts in a different direction.

"Well……"

She simply piled the snowball to a suitable size and then began to meticulously craft it.

Judging from the outline, it seems they intend to create a double ice sculpture.

It looks pretty good so far.

Besides.

I looked up at the big tree in the courtyard.

A snow-covered fortress has appeared atop the tree.

"whee……"

The witch was riding a flying broomstick, adding decorations to her castle with great interest.

By the way.

After returning from her trip, she decided to stay at Rod's house and not leave.

So now there are five women living in the Rhodes house.

So here's the question.

Where are the other two women?

Rod glanced at the gazebo in the courtyard.

"Ha ha……"

Beside the pavilion, Shia was diligently building her snowman.

Compared to those three supermodel monsters.

Due to physical limitations.

Shia's behavior was too normal, making her seem somewhat out of place.

It carries a kind of beauty that comes from physical disability and strong will.

Sudden.

Shia's movements suddenly stopped.

She then left her snowman behind and calmly returned to the pavilion to drink tea.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Empress has taken over the body.

Looking at the vibrant scene before me, where everything was thriving.

Rod nodded with satisfaction.

"My efforts have finally paid off. After spending these days together, we have been able to understand and accept each other."

He couldn't help but straighten his back, his heart filled with pride.

He almost pulled off a tactical fadeaway.

What does it mean to be a "strategy master"?

After countless save and load cycles, I have gained a thorough understanding of all the possible routes.

So the groundwork was laid from the very beginning, and when the flowers bloomed in Huacheng, they finally yielded the perfect result we see today.

This is the composure of a master in Gaim.

"A battleground? Hmph, it doesn't exist."

Rod took a leisurely sip of coffee and let out a sigh.

"What a peaceful and tranquil afternoon..."

He had barely finished speaking.

Suddenly.

A cheer erupted from the courtyard.

"Hahaha! It's done, my first White Devil!"

Luna stood proudly with her hands on her hips atop the giant snowman, which was eighteen meters tall.

I don't know where she found so much snow.

"Teacher, look! My White Devil!"

Luna waved excitedly at Rhodes.

"So noisy, second place!"

Ange, standing next to Luna, glared at her with displeasure.

"Simply increasing the size only takes up space and has no aesthetic appeal. Rather than meaninglessly piling on volume, meticulously refining the work and pursuing art and beauty is the right path."

Anjie confidently displays her snowman creation.

It was an artistic ice sculpture depicting a man and a woman dancing gracefully in the snow.

It's easy to tell from their facial features that the woman is Ange herself, and the man is Rod.

"Wow, he actually sculpted his teacher and himself together?!"

"That's the difference between us, clumsy Luna."

"Our teacher once said that giant weapons are a man's romance!"

Luna stomped her foot in protest.

Unexpectedly, the giant snowman under my feet suddenly shook, and a huge clump of white snow fell off its body.

It landed squarely on Anjie's artwork.

"what……"

Luna called out awkwardly.

Ange stared blankly for several seconds at her artwork, which was now buried in snow.

"How dare you destroy my and my teacher's perfect creation!"

She glared at Luna.

Knowing she was in the wrong, Luna scratched her head sheepishly.

"I didn't mean to. You can use time travel, right?"

"Okay, I'll go back in time now!"

Anjie activated the spacetime technique.

Everything around us is rolling back and restoring itself.

The falling snowballs returned to the giant snowman.

However, the retrospective process did not stop there.

"Wait a minute, what are you doing!"

"I want to return your white demons to nature."

"Damn it, stop right now! If you're going to do this, then I won't be polite either!"

The white demon was on the verge of falling apart.

The two immediately started fighting.

Rumble!

A violent explosion erupted in the courtyard, and a strong wind swept in all directions.

It was as if a snow-covered mountain had collapsed.

The massive avalanche affected the large trees in the courtyard.

The witch's castle collapsed.

The witch stopped laughing now.

"Want to fight? Looks like you've underestimated me all these years since I haven't made a move!"

So the witch joined the battle.

"Behold my Starry Roar!"

The war has escalated again.

Poor Shia made an ordinary snowman.

Faced with the chaotic battle of the three great gods, he could only hide in a corner of the courtyard, trembling with fear.

The empress in the pavilion calmly drank tea and watched the play.

He looked confident of victory.

"..."

Foreword retracted.

Indeed, humans are incapable of understanding each other.

Feeling the icy storm raging outside, like a hurricane hitting my face.

Rhodes feigned composure, staring blankly ahead.

The wind is quite noisy today.

At this time.

The old butler went into the study.

"My lord, Her Majesty the Queen's envoy has arrived."

"Oh?"

Rod raised an eyebrow in surprise.

I wonder what the Empress is really up to.

He put on his coat and went to the door, only to see the messenger leading a group of craftsmen, saying that the Queen had a great gift to present to him.

The Queen was having tea in the courtyard, so Rhodes did not refuse.

He led everyone to the courtyard.

The three Luna stopped fighting when outsiders entered the scene.

Under the curious gazes of the crowd, the envoy waved his hand, and the craftsmen began to work on the ravaged snow-covered ground.

Not long after.

A beautiful ice sculpture came into view.

That was a portrait of the Empress of the Empire, dressed in magnificent robes.

The messenger then took out a scroll and activated the spell within it.

In an instant, the Queen's ice sculpture transformed into a beautiful, crystal-clear crystal.

Rod's lips twitched slightly.

If I'm not mistaken, this should be the exclusive crystallization spell of Duke Heath of the Grand Archives.

"Well then, we'll take our leave."

The messenger completed the task assigned by the Queen and bowed to Rhodes.

He then left with the craftsmen.

"snort."

The Queen approached Rhodes and gazed at the sculpture before her.

He nodded in satisfaction.

"It faces the study, which is quite good. I will keep it here from now on as a special favor to you, Professor Rhodes."

This guy either doesn't make a move, or when he does, he kills the game.

In order to win, they even resorted to imperial power.

You are despicable right now.

……

Because the Queen cheated in an unreasonable way.

The snowman-building contest suddenly became rather dull.

Finally, under Rhodes's command, Luna was in charge of building snowballs, Angela was in charge of drawing smiley faces, the witch was in charge of wearing a winter hat, the queen was in charge of wearing a scarf, and Rhodes was in charge of inserting branches. Together, they built a big snowman.

The two snowmen, one large and one small, were placed next to the Queen's statue, along with the one that had been with Shia before.

Everyone sat together in the pavilion, enjoying a warm afternoon tea.

"I'm preparing to hold a grand celebration for this year's Winter Snow Festival."

The Queen glanced at Rhodes and slowly addressed the others.

"To be honest, I don't like you guys, but I made a promise with Rod to celebrate the New Year together, so you will all receive invitations and must attend the celebration."

"It's not like we like you. I wouldn't have gone if the teacher wasn't participating."

Luna pursed her lips.

Even if they can sit together and drink tea now, it doesn't change the fact that they are rivals in love.

"Unfortunately, I have important things to do."

The witch shook her head regretfully.

"Krana, if you're troubled by the rampant spiritual energy within you, then you should definitely join us."

Rod said seriously.

In his plan, everyone is an indispensable key player.

"I need your strength, and I will help you."

"Professor, you really do know everything."

The witch smiled with relief.

"In that case, I'm going to go ahead and fawn over the professor to my heart's content!"

"teacher……"

Ange looked at Rod with some concern.

To this day, she still hasn't figured out how her teacher plans to prevent the world from being destroyed.

Since leaving the underground research lab, the teacher has only taken everyone sightseeing and has done almost no preparation.

"No problem, Ange."

A barely perceptible smile appeared on Rod's lips.

The endless time loop is not without meaning.

Everything that needed to be done has been done.

All you need to do now is wait.

The night that decides fate.

Winter Snow Festival.
