Although Cirno was right there in the snowdrift, she wouldn't be able to get out for a while. More importantly, Daiyousei wanted to express her feelings to Kars.
Kars looked at Daiyousei's actions, believing it must be painful for her. After all, the feeling of an icy cold hand pressed against warm skin couldn't be pleasant.
"I'm fine. And Kars, if you're still worried, you… you can also kiss me, like you did with Miss Sakuya. That way, I won't be cold." Daiyousei remembered what Sakuya had said. Sakuya kissed Kars to warm up, so she could use the same method.
Daiyousei stood on her tiptoes and leaned toward Kars, her rosy lips slightly pouting, waiting for Kars to kiss her. With a mixture of nervousness and anticipation, a warm sensation quickly touched her lips. Daiyousei slightly opened her eyes, gazing at Kars's close face, and responded to his kiss innocently.
"Damn it! Snow got inside my clothes!" Cirno struggled out of the snowdrift, shaking her clothes to get rid of all the snow that had fallen in. Just as she was preparing to attack Kars again, she saw him kissing Daiyousei and asked automatically.
"What are you two doing?" Cirno also glanced at Kars's hand under Daiyousei's skirt. The scene was completely outside of her experience.
"I… I'm warming Kars up, Cirno-chan." Seeing Cirno was out, Daiyousei felt nervous, but she clearly explained the reason for her actions. With that explanation, Cirno wouldn't doubt the reliability of her statement.
"I see! Right! The maid said that too!" Cirno answered with realization, completely believing Daiyousei's explanation and that she was doing this purely to warm Kars up.
"But winter is really a fatal weakness for you, Kars! You gave up so quickly that you needed Daiyousei to warm you up."
"Cirno-chan, everyone has something they are not good at. Weren't you really lethargic in the summer?" When the weather was hot in the summer, Cirno looked like she was melting, often spending time in the water and not wanting to move at all.
"Waaah! Don't say that! Why are you exposing my weakness!" Having her weakness revealed by Daiyousei, Cirno immediately rushed over and covered Daiyousei's mouth to stop her from saying more, worried Kars would mock her. That would let others know that the invincible Lady Cirno had a weakness!
"Alright, alright, why are you so nervous?" Kars rolled his eyes at Cirno's frantic behavior. What was there to be embarrassed about? It wasn't shameful.
"Hmph! As the strongest being, I cannot expose my weakness like this. It damages my image." Cirno's face was noticeably flushed, showing how much she cared about this issue.
"Alright! Kars! Let's continue fighting! I'll show you how amazing Lady Cirno is in the winter! Take that!" Cirno once again declared a challenge to Kars, only to be defeated by another, even larger snowball.
"D-Damn it! I guess I should expect no less from my strongest rival?" Kars looked at Cirno, who was buried headfirst in the snowdrift. Her skirt had fallen due to gravity, exposing the blue and white panties underneath. Her two short legs frantically struggled to get out of the snowdrift, until Kars finally helped pull her out.
"Alright, Cirno-chan, that's enough. If we keep this up, it won't be good for Kars's health."
"Ugh! Daiyousei is so biased toward Kars now!" Although she knew Daiyousei liked Kars, seeing her act this way still made Cirno feel a little sour.
"I… I'm just worried about Kars's health. If this continues, he might get sick, and that would be very unpleasant."
"I won't get sick that easily. After all, as a vampire, it's hard to get sick. Don't worry too much." Kars hadn't been sick once since he could remember. He thought it was hard for a vampire's body to fall ill.
"That's not right! It's precisely this careless attitude that makes bad things more likely to happen!" Daiyousei's firm attitude made both Kars and Cirno uncomfortable. They weren't used to seeing Daiyousei express such strong emotions.
"Alright, alright, I get it…" Facing Daiyousei's slightly demanding demeanor, Kars could only agree, which finally made Daiyousei smile.
"Then I'll continue warming you up." Daiyousei happily walked up to Kars, wanting to continue their intimate behavior from before. Cirno watched, feeling that strange feeling in her heart again, as if she didn't belong there. She had the distinct feeling of being the odd one out.
Then, she thought about it and suddenly understood.
"I'll do it too!" Cirno thought the reason for her feeling was that she was being excluded. She could help warm him up too! If she joined in, she wouldn't feel like the odd one out.
I'm so smart! Cirno felt smug. She rushed up to Kars, lifted her skirt, and said, "So, Kars, if you put your hand inside my skirt, will you feel better? Then put it in! Your hand will be warmed by the great Lady Cirno very quickly."
"That won't work…" Warming up on an Ice Fairy? What kind of idiot would do that? It would be very comfortable in the summer, but in the winter, wouldn't that just make him colder?
"Huh? Why not?"
"Cirno-chan, your body is ice. You can't warm anyone up." Daiyousei explained helplessly, making Cirno finally understand.
"Oh, right! Hahahaha! I forgot! Then… then let's kiss! Daiyousei just said kissing can warm people up, so let's kiss!" Cirno said, reaching out to cup Kars's face and directly kissing his lips. The coldness of her lips made Kars's body tremble slightly. However, all Cirno knew was a simple lip-to-lip kiss, so she didn't attempt anything further.
But this was enough to leave Daiyousei stunned.
