Isn't she cold?
Who is the Super True Newcomer after all!
No, Irida should be the Super Hisui Native...
When Ash and Cynthia finally reached the two of them, Ash couldn't help but ask.
"Miss Irida, your outfit is..."
"Hmm?"
Irida looked down at herself somewhat puzzled.
"What's wrong with my clothes?"
"Haven't I always worn this outfit?"
"That's true, but..."
Ash looked at the constantly falling snowflakes from the sky and then at the bit of snow that had already accumulated on Irida's shoulders and collarbone, and for a moment, he didn't know how to describe his feelings.
This person genuinely doesn't feel cold at all!
Adaman, who had evidently been holding back for a long time, couldn't help but interject with a look of disbelief.
"Don't you have any sense of awareness?"
"Do you not know where this place is?"
"Wearing like this in such cold weather, aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"
"A cold?"
Irida's expression instantly turned a bit disdainful.
"That's a sickness only the weak get!"
"And can you even call this level of snow and ice cold?"
As she spoke, she reached out to catch some falling snowflakes from the sky.
"For me, it's actually a bit warm!"
"My mentor always trains in places much colder than here, this temperature is nothing at all."
Ash: "..."
Cynthia: "..."
Adaman's mouth twitched uncontrollably a few times.
The most crucial thing was that Irida didn't show the slightest bit of bravado when she said these things.
She genuinely felt it wasn't cold, maybe even a bit warm. Ash couldn't help but reevaluate Irida, thinking if her skin's temperature perception was broken or something.
Adaman had evidently given up persuading her entirely, crossing his arms and shaking his head helplessly.
"That's why I can't get along with you."
"This has nothing to do with you being the leader of the Pearl Clan and me the leader of the Diamond Clan."
"I purely think there's something wrong with you as a person."
"Oh?"
Irida raised an eyebrow.
"What a coincidence, I think the same way."
Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again after just a few words, Cynthia quickly interjected to stop them.
"Leaders, isn't it the wrong time to be having this discussion?"
"Didn't you come early to the Alabaster Icelands to take us to meet the Warden here?"
"Oh, right!"
Irida clapped her hands abruptly, a look of realization crossing her face.
"I almost forgot the main task."
Adaman stood beside her with a speechless expression, though this time he couldn't be bothered to argue further.
Irida quickly shifted her attention back to Ash and Cynthia.
"Let me introduce our Pearl Clan's Warden to you first."
"His name is Gaeric, he's my mentor, and also the Warden of the Alabaster Icelands. Most of the time, he's usually training."
"That's why my mentor couldn't personally come to the entrance to greet you today."
After speaking about Gaeric, Irida's previously relaxed expression turned a bit troubled.
"My mentor... how should I put it, is a training fanatic to the core."
"And his philosophy about the King has some similarities with the Diamond Clan's previous Governor, Melli."
Hearing this, Cynthia's brows furrowed slightly.
What Melli did to prevent them from quelling the Electrode was still fresh in her memory.
"Similar?"
"Are you saying Gaeric also opposes us quelling the Avalugg?"
The embarrassment on Irida's face became even more evident.
"Um... more or less."
