WAR-Destiny Of Future 106 Chapter 98 - It's Winter Break!

Sky, Seito, Yuki, Itsuki and Ai are currently having a vacation at a snowy mountain... Well, rather than having vacation, they are actually having quests /missions there. The main quest will be the one from the Ruler of Afterworld - Enma, about the unusual disappearance of unrecorded souls (refer to chapter 26 - Quest from Afterworld), while another quest is from the owner of the mountain, requesting them to investigate some unusual phenomenon that occurs on the mountain, he said that people went to a specific spot at the mountain during 3.33 am will experience some illusions that make them do weird things such as dancing on the mountain with only inner wear.

"I understand the quest from Afterworld is important, but why the second quest?" said Seito while observing the mountain closely with a telescope. Itsuki and Sky are setting up a camp, while the girls are roasting marshmallows near the camp fire.

"Well, since we are here, it wouldn't be wrong for us to accept another quest right? And don't you think his reward is tempting?" said Sky.

"Well... It is indeed tempting, it is not anything we can get with money." said Seito.

"Then don't complain about it." said Sky who had done setting up the camp.

"Too bad, I can't help you with that, so good luck with your observation." said so Sky took his tablet and a detailed map.

"Tsk...This guy had surely turned into Chris." Seito mumbled while continuing with the observation.

Seito had been continuing observing the mountain with Itsuki by turn until 3.33 am, but nothing happens, so he decided to go to sleep in the camp with Itsuki, the girls are staying in a nice comfy homestay. While Sky is exploring the terrain of the mountain, without having any sleep.

The next morning. "Yes! Time for some real vacation!" said Seito. Since they have nothing to do in the day time as they only do their observations at night, so they decided to have some snow activities, and Seito is super excited about that. That three childish men are planning to have a ski compet.i.tion. Yup! Including Itsuki.

"Let's go to the steepest slope!" said Sky. "Yesss!!!" said Seito, then the trio took their skate and ride on the cable car that takes them to the higher area of the mountain. After they reached their destination, their eagerness starts 'bursting out', people around feel the 'flame' ignite from them and thus decided to stay a distance from them. Sky stared at Seito and Itsuki with a 'murderous' look. "You can still retreat now if you want." said Sky with a provocative tone. "I was going to say the same thing." said Seito in a similar manner as Sky. And so, let's start an epic battle of ski... Actually it's just a random show off.

First of all, we have Itsuki who slide down at a high speed, gliding in a big and sharp S route forming a huge and magnificent wave of snow. Followed by Seito who did a flip in the air drawing the dust of snow with him. Then we have Sky who jumps off a cliff and landed perfectly at the other sides. These actions had successfully getting attentions from the crowd especially girls. They all went: "Ahhhh! That looks so cool!" while snapped pictures with their phone.

Meanwhile, Yuki and Ai are watching them from the viewing platform with a telescope while having some snacks. "Those three guys are stupid, aren't they?" said Yuki. "Mhmm..." Ai agree with her. What they don't know is that, not just three of them, if Chris were there, it will be four of them.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Later, Seito glides down from the mountain again, this time at a slower pace, enjoy the beautiful scenery of the snowy mountain, then he spotted something from the other side of the mountain, he stopped at a safe area. The other two who saw Seito, stopped as well.

"Seito, what are you looking at?" Sky asks.

"Is that a cave?" said Seito while pointing at the other side of the mountain.

"Hmm... It looks like a cave." said Sky.

"That cave looks kind of suspicious to me." said Seito.

"Uhm... How about we go check it out later?" said Itsuki, who has been quiet since just now.

"Mhmm... I agree with Itsuki, I feel like it's necessary to check that cave out." said Sky. "Let's go down now and met with the girls." said Seito. Then, the trio slides down the mountain.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That night.

"Are you girls sure that you want to go with us? The environment there would not be so friendly and will be quite cold, most importantly, we might end up going there and come back with no gains." said Seito to the girls.

"Of course we do! How could we miss such an exciting exploration in a mysterious icy cave? Who knows we might meet some ice monsters or Yuki Onna in there." said Yuki with 'sparkles' in her eyes, Ai nodded in agreement.

"Now you see why I don't want her to follow us?" Seito whispered at Sky and Itsuki and the two nodded.
