Mage Manual Chapter 197

Chapter 197: Chapter 172 Freyja extra_3 Passing by the Meiwa convenience store, Freyja went in to buy some snacks and alcohol. When she was paying, the cashier said, “There is a promotion on Moon candy from the Snow White brand, buy three get one free. If you have our membership card, you can get a 50% discount. Would you be interested in stocking up for home?” Freyja glanced at the pack of Snow White Moon candy placed prominently on the counter and shook her head, “I don’t need it.” It took her half an hour, but Freyja finally made it back to her apartment building. Just as she reached the third floor, she smelled the familiar fragrance of Lanna food, and a surge of excitement made her quicken her pace—only to see the takeaway delivery handed to her neighbor. After making way for the delivery person to leave, Freyja sighed quietly, took out her keys, opened the door, and was immediately attacked by a ferocious predator— Freyja hurried to pour some cat food and clean the litter box. Watching the fold-ear cat devour its meal, she gently stroked its back and asked, “How’s your body? Is it hurting?” Xian looked at her puzzled, “Meow (you meow what I’m meowing)?” Seemingly realizing she had revealed her own intelligence, Freyja randomly rubbed the cat’s head and then went to take a shower. For some reason, these past few days she had felt a sudden urge to put on clothes after showering. She had resisted the first two days, but today her mood seemed particularly off, so she just went with it. When she stepped out of the bathroom in her underwear, Freyja felt that her life had undergone a dramatic change. She turned on the Light Screen, browsed the video website, and “Mage 100%” finale appeared. Initially, a 30-second ad was playing, but after 10 seconds, a 20-second Crime Hunting Hall announcement followed: “The extremely dangerous criminal ‘Corpse Lover’ Lanna·Chios is still at large. The criminal possesses combat power from Two-winged to Three-winged. Please contact the headquarters of the Crime Hunting Hall immediately if you have any information. Death/Capture reward is 50 Gold Coins; information reward is 5 Silver Coins.” “Swindler Igula·Bokin, ‘Corpse Lover’ Archibald·Harvey, ‘Evil Demon Saint’ Ash·Heath have exiled themselves to the Kingdom of Blood Moon; the bounty has been withdrawn.” “He really left Blood Moon, huh…” Freyja lay on the table, watching “Mage 100%” on the Light Screen and suddenly felt a sense of blandness, even beginning to dis happiness that existed only on the screen. She closed the page, just lay there staring blankly for a while until Xian jumped over to push her head and affectionately nuzzled her face, looking worried about her. Freyja paused for a long time, rubbed the moisture in her eyes, and held Xian close—revived with full health! Almost suffocated, Xian vigorously escaped from her chest and hid far in the corner, licking its paws and feeling lucky to have survived after the ordeal. Freyja paid no attention, energetically opened “New Folder” – “Used Countless Times”! Goodbye then, next one will be even better behaved! Better watch something appealing to get some recovery! First part, second part, third part, fourth part… Half an hour later, after going through the whole folder and still not finding the right casting materials, Freyja pondered for a moment, turned on her chip, and selected “Gallery”. The chip could directly take pictures, naturally using her own eyes as the capturing equipment, essentially capturing what she saw and saving it in the chip. But because such photos took up a lot of space and the storage space in the chip was very small, only the most precious photos were worth saving. Thoughts of taking a picture of the cult leader had crossed Freyja’s mind, but he was always alert, not matching his appearance. Whenever Freyja chose to take a picture, Ash would immediately turn his head, repeatedly avoiding Meiwa’s gaze even while sleeping. Until one night, on a whim, Freyja pounced on Ash in the dark, pinning him down and sneakily took a picture of his side profile when he had no room to evade. Although the night attack was unsuccessful, she still kept this close-up of the “most vicious criminal of Kaimon in a century.” The room was dark at the time, allowing only a little Blood Moonlight to sprinkle on his slightly panicked and shy face. Looking at the photo, Freyja couldn’t help but open the alcoholic drink she had just bought and started gulping it down. A few minutes later, she accidentally wet the chair. Sitting in another chair, a few minutes passed, and she wet the chair again. Heading to lie on the bed, after about ten minutes, she even wet the sheets. After three rounds of drinks, Freyja finally felt a bit drunk and tired, she took a tissue, casually wiped the alcohol stains, and contentedly lay in bed with a pillow to sleep. After a while, Xian jumped on the bed and pushed Meiwa to see if she was dead yet. Freyja opened her eyes and scratched Xian’s chin. She looked at the photo on the Light Screen, sighed helplessly, and a faint smile appeared on her lips. “I’m done using you, but I still want to see you.” “I might really miss you.” PS: Don’t misunderstand, this is a special midnight update at the beginning of the month, updates will return to 8 AM as usual. While it’s still double and quadruple ticket time, please support with a minimum monthly ticket.
