‘As a swordsman who uses a sword, having more mana than a mage, is this reasonable?’
Duoluolisi paced anxiously in the room.
She didn’t know how to use up all that mana.
She first thought of those high-consumption battle spells, but she couldn’t use them in the inn — too noisy, and most importantly, she didn’t know them.
The only spells she knew were basic ones like Healing and Light.
Duoluolisi thought about casting Light magic all night, being a light bulb all night, but she looked at her Mana Bar and gave up.
With this Mana Bar length, she could shine for three days and nights.
She was afraid she’d collapse from exhaustion before the mana ran out.
By tomorrow when Feili and Dailina came in, she’d become the first human in history to die from being a light bulb.
Her corpse would probably come back to life on the spot and carry the entire planet to another universe overnight.
Better sneak out first.
Staying in the room wasn’t a solution.
Duoluolisi tied on her black cloak, walked to the window, and pulled the curtain open a crack.
The street was silent.
After confirming no one was around, Duoluolisi opened the window, climbed out, closed the window, and leaped from the third-floor eaves.
Duoluolisi landed lightly and sidestepped into an alley.
‘This body’s agility is pretty good. If it were Xi Ya, just jumping from the second floor would require a protective spell first, otherwise he’d sprain his ankle.’
She leaned against the wall and started thinking about where to go.
Staying in town was obviously impossible.
There were many night patrol guards.
If she made any more noise, there might be a chase scene.
Outside town, she could go to the ruins.
At night there were no guards patrolling outside the ruins.
No matter how much noise she made inside, no one would find out.
The ruins must still have many monsters left.
She could kill monsters to level up, and most importantly, she wanted to know where the Blood Demon Meiluodi had gone.
She needed to go back to the bottom to investigate, otherwise she’d feel uneasy.
Good, let’s go to the ruins.
Duoluolisi tightened her hood and ran towards the outskirts.
***
There weren’t many night patrol guards.
Duoluolisi quickly circumvented them and reached the edge of town.
She hid behind a tree.
Now the only obstacle was this patrol squad.
Once they left, she could leave the town.
The patrol passed.
Duoluolisi stepped out with her left foot, ready to dash out in one go once they were farther.
But when she looked closely, she found a familiar pink-haired figure in the torchlight.
‘Feili? Why is she here? This scene wasn’t in the game.’
‘Why is she everywhere? Not sleeping at night, following the guards? Isn’t she afraid she won’t be able to get up tomorrow?’
Duoluolisi was forced to shrink back.
She had witnessed Feili’s observational skills in the ruins.
Every time, Feili could accurately judge the monsters’ positions and quickly find their weaknesses to kill them in one blow.
Of course, that might be because Feili had been reborn and remembered all this perfectly, but the game’s stats didn’t lie.
Feili’s observation stat was much higher than the others.
They hadn’t been far apart just now.
If Feili hadn’t been facing away from her, she might have been discovered when she extended her foot.
“Miss, it’s enough that we’re patrolling here. You should go back and rest,” said the leader holding the torch, turning his head.
“It’s okay.”
Feili smiled and waved her hand.
“Even though we cleared the ruins once during the day, I’m still worried some monsters might have escaped.”
“Anyway, I’m not sleepy. Consider it me accompanying you for a walk.”
Feili winked playfully.
“Alright, but if danger arises, please leave promptly.”
Hearing Feili say that, the leader couldn’t say anything more and turned back to look ahead.
A few days ago, a bunch of monsters burst out of the ruins in the suburbs.
He led the squad to resist for several days, barely driving them back.
Then the lord invited three students from the academy in the Capital to help deal with the monsters.
At first he thought the lord was just going through the motions.
If a group of guards trained for years couldn’t handle the monsters, how could three students who hadn’t even finished their studies do it?
But the three students solved it in less than two days, leaving him dumbfounded.
Especially the pink-haired girl beside him.
Usually guards needed to cooperate to kill one monster, but she would swing her sword and slash several at once.
She was practically a monster.
Thinking of this, the leader broke into a cold sweat.
If there was any real danger, it wouldn’t be them protecting the girl, but the girl protecting them.
Feili didn’t care about the leader’s reaction.
She was still thinking about what happened today.
In this life, she hadn’t changed her actions, but from the beginning, there were variables.
Xi Ya was saved by Dailina, and the demon god’s aura in the ruins suddenly disappeared.
Importantly, just now, her strange intuition appeared, guiding her here.
Every time this intuition appeared, something big happened.
Feili firmly believed in this intuition, because it always led her to meet cute girls.
This time, what kind of girl would she meet?
Thinking of this, Feili’s worries vanished.
Nothing was more important than meeting those cute girls.
What Xi Ya?
What demon god?
Forget all that.
Let her find this girl first.
Duoluolisi behind the tree suddenly felt a chill down her spine.
‘I feel like someone is thinking about me. It must be Feili, right? It has to be her, right?’
‘Does Feili want to kill me that much?’
Duoluolisi glanced sideways.
The patrol had moved about twenty meters away.
Once they got a bit farther, she could dash!
Crack~
It was the sound of a branch snapping.
“Who’s there?”
The leader reacted quickly, raising his torch and shouting in her direction.
Duoluolisi panicked instantly.
‘No, I didn’t move?’
‘Who snapped a branch near me? But there’s no one here?’
‘What to do? What to do? I’m about to be discovered!’
Duoluolisi made up a million excuses in her mind, constantly rehearsing the scene of explaining to the guards, ready to reveal herself and explain.
At that moment, a rustling sound came from the tree, and a stray cat jumped down.
‘Cat?’
“Oh, it’s just a stray cat. I thought it was something else.”
The leader breathed a sigh of relief.
Ever since the monster invasion, his nerves had been on edge.
At night, any sound would make him jump and draw his sword, scaring his wife and kids half to death.
Feili looked at the cat thoughtfully.
‘Hmm? Could this intuition be pointing to this cat?’
She knew that to the south of the Empire were the beast tribes, and among them there were many cute catgirls.
‘Could this cat be a beastkin lying low? Then it could transform…’
Feili was excited for a moment, but quickly realized the cat was male, and instantly lost interest.
Moreover, the cat had no mana at all.
It couldn’t possibly be a beastkin.
Those beastkins had astonishing mana; she would have sensed it.
‘Sigh~ What a pity~’
Feili turned back with a disappointed expression and caught up with the team.
Her intuition had always been accurate; why had it failed this time?
After watching Feili and the patrol guards leave, Duoluolisi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
That stray cat almost got her caught.
Good thing it was smart enough to show itself in time, otherwise she would have caught it and neutered it.
Since she’d escaped that crisis, she’d better leave quickly.
She didn’t want any more surprises.
