Schnee - Prince of Snowphilia - Main Story
Chapter 1 - I'll Make You My Retainer
Snow Kingdom, Snowphilia, February...
MC: ...!
The light that poured out from the ring surrounded a single boy. On his pale skin that was like snow, his red eyes opened.
Schnee: Mm... You are...?
As his red eyes moved, they shined when he looked at me.
Schnee: Did you wake me up?
MC: Yes.
Schnee: I see. In that case...
His pale cheeks turned into a healthy rosy hue and the next moment...
Schnee: As thanks, I'll let you be my retainer!
MC: Eh!?
(R-Retainer...?)
As I stood still speechless, he spoke with a calm attitude.
Schnee: You know that you woke up the third prince of the Snow Kingdom, Schnee, right? Well then, I'm hungry, so hurry and buy me something in town.
MC: Uh...
Unsure on what to say to the young prince that's making a mature look, I blinked in a daze.
......
(I bought something like he said...)
Since I couldn't leave the prince that had just woken up alone in a snowy field, the two of us went to the town that was near the castle of Snowphilia just as he suggested first.
MC: Is this all right?
Schnee: A crepe, it's not my favorite, but... It's your first time, so I guess it can't be helped.
Schnee-kun stuffed his cheeks with the crepe that I handed to him as he made a blank look.
(Anyways, I need to take him to the castle...)
Since he couldn't fit it all in his mouth, some white cream was left around his mouth.
(Although, I was surprised when he called me a retainer.)
As I was watching him, I found it cute how he was acting his age...
Chapter 2 - Schnee's Power
When we set foot on the lightly snow-covered road, we passed through the town for a while...
Guard 1: Schnee-sama! Schnee-sama has returned!
Maid 1: Welcome back, Schnee-sama!
As soon as he arrived in the Snowphilia castle, we immediately became surrounded by the people inside.
Schnee: Yeah, you all must've been worried. Have there been any changes?
Guard: Well, it hasn't been snowing lately. Frost-sama is traveling and Graysia-sama is out of the castle as usual...
Maid 1: The amount of snow in Snowphilia has reduced a little.
(Frost? Graysia?)
Those names pondered in my mind...
Schnee: What, that's it... Hey, you.
MC: Yes?
Schnee: Since you've heard them, make it snow.
MC: Eh!?
After seeing me become surprised from his sudden statement, Schnee-kun sighed.
Schnee: You're my retainer, so can't you do something like that?
MC: Me!?
When Schnee-kun looked at me as if it was obvious...
///Choices///
- I can't (☽)
MC: I-I can't.
Schnee-kun nodded triumphantly as if he was expected that answer.
Schnee: I see. Then, since it can't be helped, I'll make it snow instead.
MC: P-Please do!
(What a relief...)
Schnee: Okay, just watch.
- Show me an example (☼)
(W-Won't that be rude? I don't want to look like I'm saying that with ill intent, but...)
MC: U-Um... Can you show me an example?
Schnee: Ah, that's right, you're still a new retainer. Fine, I'll show you a special example.
As Schnee-kun puffed his chest out proudly, he nodded greatly.
///Choices///
When Schnee-kun looked up at the sky, he drew a circle in the cloudy sky with his finger. Then... After a while, powdery snow fluttered down onto the ground.
Guard: Oh, Snowphilia really needed this!
MC: ...!
(It really is snowing.)
Among the powdery snow that I haven't seen before, the sunlight that was shining down from the clouds reflected against it and made it sparkle sometimes.
Schnee: Hey, what do you think?
MC: It's amazing! Moreover, really pretty...
Schnee: That much is quite obvious. I'm the prince of the Snow Kingdom after all.
Suddenly, Schnee-kun looked away from me.
(Ah...)
His soft looking cheeks turned slightly red.
(Is Schnee-kun embarrassed?)
I broke into a smile from seeing him like that.
MC: Now that you have made it to the castle safely, I'll be going now...
Just as I was about to leave the castle after I bowed...
Schnee: What are you saying? You're my retainer, right? Come on, let's go.
Schnee-kun's small pale hand grabbed mine and walked towards the inside of the castle.
(...Come to think of it, I was accompanying him as a retainer.)
As Schnee-kun held my hand tightly, I followed him from behind. The powdery snow that he made fall lightly fluttered down against my cheek...
Chapter 3 - Board Game
A few days later ever since I met Schnee-kun...
Maid: My apologies, it seems like Prince Schnee has taken an interest in you... Also, if Prince Schnee says something once, disobeying him would be like disobeying his older brother, Frost-sama. Frost-sama won't be back for a while. Until then, won't you stay in Snowphilia?
MC: ...
(If it's just for a little while...)
Since then, I spent the days as Schnee-kun's maid.
Schnee: Hey, I'm bored, let's do something fun.
MC: Something fun? Let's see...
When I thought about it for a while...
///Choices///
- Play outside (☽)
MC: Since the weather is nice today, how about we go outside?
Schnee: Eh... I don't like that sort of thing. However.
- Play a game in the room (☼)
MC: Since it's cold out, how about we play some cards inside the room?
Schnee: Cards, huh? But, since I'm smart, I'm really strong. So, if I'm going to play with you...
///Choices///
Schnee-kun got up from the chair and brought out something from the corner of the room.
MC: That's...?
Schnee: It's a board game that's popular in this kingdom right now. Here's how you play...
On top of the marble table, he started assembling small pieces on the board.
(Is it something like chess?)
Schnee: This piece is the snow queen. Suitable for a player that triumphs cleverly like me, but for you, probably this.
Schnee-kun placed a small fairy piece in my hand.
MC: That's a cute piece.
Schnee: This piece can heal everyone.
MC: I see, then...
After that, Schnee-kun gave me thorough details on how to play the game.
Schnee: Let's see, if I move this piece... Ah, hey, wait! Wait!
///Choices///
- Wait (☼)
MC: Okay, then go ahead.
Seeing Schnee-kun acting like that was so adorable that it made me chuckle.
Schnee: ...
With his cheeks puffed out, Schnee-kun looked at me with a pout.
Schnee: I won't lose!
- Don't wait (☽)
MC: No, I won't wait.
Schnee: Ah!
Ignoring Schnee-kun's control, I moved my piece.
Schnee: You, even though you're my retainer!
Schnee-kun frowned his thin white brow in annoyance.
///Choices///
Even though he was acting like a teacher as I was using a handicap, seeing him become irritated from losing was a little surprising.
......
After we were enjoying the game for a while, we heard the chime for 3 o'clock.
Schnee: 4 victories and 1 loss for me. How unexpected for a retainer.
(I don't want to get used to being called a retainer, but...)
Schnee: More importantly, it's teatime. I'll leave it to you to get it ready. Don't forget the sweets.
MC: Okay.
When I got up from my seat, I went to go get the tea set ready.
(Come to think of it, he told me that he wasn't a big fan of crepes before, but... What does he like?)
Maid: MC-sama, is it Schnee-sama's teatime?
MC: Ah, yes.
Maid: Good timing, we have some sweets that we got from a foreign messenger. It's an unusual sweet with red bean paste in it.
What I received from the maid was a sweet that was like a manju.
(...Looks like Schnee-kun likes to eat manjus.)
MC: Thank you, I'll accept them.
Maid: It's no problem... My apologies for having you deal with Schnee-sama. Although, Schnee-sama seems to be enjoying himself ever since you came.
MC: That's...
For some reason, my cheeks turned a little red from those words. With the manjus in hand, I headed back to the room...
Chapter 4 - Faint Blushing Cheeks
-Flashback-
Maid: Good timing, we have some sweets that we got from a foreign messenger. It's an unusual sweet with red bean paste in it.
-Flashback-
Once I've prepared the tea and the manjus that the maid recommended, I presented it to Schnee-kun...
MC: Here you go.
Schnee: Hmm...
When Schnee-kun took a bite of the manju that was presented, his eyes sparkled.
Schnee: This is good...! Retainer, let me praise you.
After Schnee-kun drank the tea in one gulp satisfied, he petted my head to show his appreciation.
MC: That's good, I'm so glad!
Schnee: ...
(Huh? What's wrong?)
He looked at me silently with his usually cheeky bright eyes.
Schnee: Okay!
MC: Wah, S-Schnee-kun!?
When he suddenly used both of his hands to mess up my hair roughly, I closed my eyes.
Schnee: Good girl, as a reward for doing so well, I'm promoting you from retainer to servant. Although, compared to the maids that serve Gray-nii and Fro-nii, you have a long way to go.
MC: Your brothers?
Schnee: Yeah, I have two older brothers. The oldest, Fro-nii is especially amazing, he's smarter than me, respected by the people and is the pride of the Snow Household. Because of that, Gray-nii and I get compared to Fro-nii quite often.
MC: Isn't it hard being compared to him?
Schnee: Not really, Gray-nii seems to be concerned about it, but that's just me. It's just that Fro-nii is so admirable... And I don't have a lot of friends...
After murmuring those words, he stopped talking there. Seeing him being a little sad instead of his usual confident self, I...
///Choices///
- Pat his shoulder (☼)
Without thinking, I lightly patted his shoulder as if he was a child. Schnee-kun's red eyes widened greatly.
Schnee: D-Don't treat me like a child just because you're my servant.
When Schnee-kun energetically raised his head and drove my hand away, he slightly blushed.
- Praise him a lot (☽)
MC: Being yourself makes you so mature, Schnee-kun.
Schnee: That's because the Snow Household are nobles. I wouldn't worry about being hesitant.
MC: I think that's nice.
When I said that to him while looking into his eyes...
Schnee: ...Well, obviously.
Schnee-kun slightly blushed and looked away from me.
///Choices///
Schnee: Honestly. Even though you're my servant.
It was really cute when he said that as he slightly puffed his cheeks out. While holding back the urge to pet his head, I smiled at him...
Chapter 5 - Walking Together
A few days later... In Snowphilia, where it was covered in snow all year around, it continued to have nice weather.
When Schnee-kun said that he wanted to go to town, I went with him.
(Being with Schnee-kun is fun, but... I can't stay here as his servant forever.)
-Flashback-
Maid: My apologies, it seems like Prince Schnee has taken an interest in you... Also, if Prince Schnee says something once, disobeying him would be like disobeying his older brother, Frost-sama. Frost-sama won't be back for a while. Until then, won't you stay in Snowphilia?
-Flashback-
(I wonder when Frost-san will be coming back.)
As I thought of that...
Schnee: Hey.
When Schnee-kun turned around as he was walking in front of me, he placed his left hand on his waist and looked at me.
Schnee: Don't get distracted.
MC: I'm sorry. Is there something that you want?
Schnee: I wanted a magic book, but aside from that, walking in town with you isn't bad.
MC: With me...?
Schnee: Yeah. Since you're used to being my servant, get that through to everyone.
(His servant, get that through...)
As I was troubled on how to respond, I gave him a vague smile.
Schnee: Don't force yourself to smile, make a face that looks like you're used to being with me. A servant that makes an awkward expression will affect my dignity.
When Schnee-kun said those harsh words, I...
///Choices///
- Show a smile (☼)
MC: Will this do?
I looked at Schnee-kun and smiled.
Schnee: Yes, since you're cute when you smile, you'll gain more confidence by doing what I say.
- Furrow brow (☽)
MC: Geez.
When I furrowed my brow, Schnee-kun instantly frowned with an uneasy look.
Schnee: What?
///Choices///
Schnee: Now then, hurry, let's go look in town.
MC: Ah, wait`
Schnee: I won't wait.
Schnee-kun held my hand and ran towards the plaza.
(Even though he's cute when he's like this.)
As I thought of that, I ran with him.
......
In the book fair that was happening in the plaza because there was a holiday going on, I searched for the magic book as an errand for Schnee-kun.
MC: Let's see, a blue book... A blue book... Where is it?
After we split up to look for it, I went around the tents alone and there, some flashy looking guys stood in front of me.
Playboy 1: Lady, if you're looking for something, shall we look for it together?
Playboy 2: We're not from around here, so we're lost and are troubled.
MC: ...Um, I'm in the middle of an errand...
Playboy 1: Don't be so cold and come hang out with us.
The lightly blonde-haired man grabbed my arm by force.
MC: ...Stop it!
I tried shaking him off, but the man was strong, so I was unable to push away his tree-like body.
(What do I do...!)
Playboy 2: Just be quiet and come with us!
MC: Schnee-kun...!
Just as the man was about to raise his voice...
Schnee: Hey, you guys! That's my servant. Get those filthy hands off her.
MC: ...Schnee-kun!?
When I looked up, Schnee-kun suddenly arrived and was looking over here.
MC: Watch out!
Schnee: Hmph. Such fools.
When Schnee-kun waved his right hand, he summoned a large blizzard and poured it onto the man.
Playboy 1: Uwaaah!
(A-Amazing...)
Playboy 2: Why you little! How dare you.
Schnee: ...!
Although, during that interval, the other man that was nearby threw a punch towards Schnee-kun...
