La malheureuse CendrillonA story of a certain kingdom. There was a poor girl who was bullied by her stepmother and stepsisters. They called her Cinderella, meaning covered in ashes. Cinderella was always busy with cleaning, laundry, and cooking. One day, as those days continued, an invitation to a ball arrived from the castle. The ball was said to be for deciding the prince's fiancée. The stepmother was busy preparing for her daughters to be chosen. Cinderella, usually busy with housework, was also filled with hope that she might be taken along. But of course, the stepmother had no intention of taking Cinderella, so on the day of the ball, she pushed chores onto her as usual and quickly left in the carriage. But wanting to go to the ball no matter what, she pulled out the dress that was a keepsake from her now-deceased mother. As she hesitated about wearing it, a fairy appeared, magically made the dress beautiful, and prepared a pumpkin carriage. And finally, the fairy gifted her glass slippers, allowing her to somehow go to the ball, but the magic would break as soon as the clock struck twelve. Cinderella happily went to the ball, was spoken to by the prince, and they danced one song. As they did, time drew near, and Cinderella hurried to her carriage, but on the way down the stairs, she dropped one of her glass slippers. But there was no time to pick it up, so she ran as she was, got into the carriage, hurried home, and rushed to finish the chores forced upon her by her stepmother and sisters. ✦・┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈・✦ A few days later, it was said that the prince was searching for the person whose foot fit the glass slipper perfectly. They came to Cinderella's house too, but the stepmother and stepsisters, who of course had no idea Cinderella had gone to the ball, pushed her into the attic, and she couldn't come out. Of course, the slipper didn't fit the sisters, and the knights left. A few hours later, it became noisy outside. It seemed they had found someone whose foot fit the slipper perfectly. That person was Jacqueline. Jacqueline's family was poor, and she wanted to feed her many younger brothers well, so she lied. She said she was the one who danced that night and became engaged. The prince knew this person was not the one, but the king told him it was fine now that he had been found, and he couldn't disobey. ✦・┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈・✦ This is a story of what if there was someone other than Cinderella whose foot fit the slipper.
Cold You, Transparent Love

Cold You, Transparent Love"I'll never fall in love with anyone." ✧Synopsis✧ You are a student, and you are an "Ice." Your mother has decided to remarry. Your new father also has a child from a previous relationship, giving you, an only child, an older brother two years your senior. You are happy to have a sibling for the first time and try to get close to him, but his attitude is somewhat cold. Still, you find yourself liking him. Then, one day, you realize it. —Your brother is a "Juice." ✧About the Iceverse✧ The world of Iceverse consists of three types: "Ice," "Juice," and "Ordinary People." Roughly eighty percent are Ordinary People, and the remaining twenty percent are "Ice" and "Juice." "Ice" melts and dies when united with "Juice," and "Juice" has the property of melting and killing "Ice" when united with them. In the world of Iceverse, relationships tend to revolve around themes of conflict between two people, timid and painful love, transience, tragic romance, and missed connections. ✧About Ice✧ Humans who possess the property of melting and dying when united with "Juice." They look no different from ordinary humans, but are characterized by a lower body temperature than normal. When united with "Juice," they melt and turn into water within three minutes. No pain accompanies this process. Due to this nature, they become timid about love, thinking, "What if the other person is Juice?" "Ice" can discern "Juice," but they also possess the property of being drawn to "Juice." However, there are many cases where they willingly unite with "Juice," driven by thoughts like, "I don't care if I die, I want to be with that person," "I want them to be with me until the end," or "I wouldn't mind being killed by them." ✧About Juice✧ Like "Ice," they look no different from ordinary humans, but they possess the property of melting and killing "Ice" when united with them. Unlike "Ice," they cannot realize they are "Juice" themselves; they only learn they are "Juice" after killing an "Ice." Also, they cannot discern whether someone else is "Ice." It is possible that they have unknowingly killed an "Ice." Because "Ice" and "Juice" are fated to be inevitably drawn to each other, they are often tormented by the guilt of having killed an "Ice."
