Chapter 97
But tasks were dead, people were alive.
Even if the task was really changed, Adele would probably still follow the original plot.
Anyway, Adele had no psychological burden when it came to leaving the team without authorization if necessary.
At most, she would be given a demerit by the school and be labeled as someone who shirked her duties.
Adele walked from one end of the snack street to the other, witnessing the hustle and bustle of the city, filling her stomach with various snacks.
Celeste’s hands, which were originally empty, were now filled with bags of snacks like “tanghulu,” “grilled gluten,” and “iron plate squid.”
Her Master’s appetite wasn’t big, but she was picky about what she ate.
Often, Adele would take two bites to taste something and then wouldn’t want to eat it anymore.
The rest could only be finished by Celeste.
Food shouldn’t be wasted.
This was also Adele’s way of dealing with her small appetite and gluttony.
After all, Celeste spoiled her, so why wouldn’t she take advantage of it?
But when her Master’s gaze fell on the fragrant grilled corn in the distance, Celeste couldn’t help but gulp.
It wasn’t because she was craving it...
But because she was really full.
Corn on the cob could be considered a main course, and her Master had a bird’s appetite.
She would probably take two bites and then leave the rest to Celeste.
Fortunately, this time Adele saw Celeste’s feelings, or rather, through the spiritual connection between Master and subordinate, realized that Celeste was already very “satisfied.”
“Hmph, if you don’t want to eat it, then don’t.”
The girl said arrogantly.
“Celeste, I’m thirsty.”
As Adele’s words fell, Celeste hurriedly handed her the Gu Ming milk tea, Starbucks Frappuccino, and the street vendor’s rock sugar pear drink she was carrying, for her Master to choose from.
“...When did I buy so many?”
Adele was suffering from choice overload.
Celeste opened her mouth slightly, then closed it helplessly.
Master, you ask me, who should I ask...
“Why don’t we buy another cup of ‘I Love You, You Love Me’~”
In the end, Adele happily made a decision.
Celeste’s expression could only be described as dumbfounded.
But seeing her like this, Adele laughed happily.
“I’m just kidding, you’re so serious.”
“...Because it’s something related to Master, I have to take it seriously.”
Adele and Celeste were standing in a deserted corner, so Celeste could slightly break the rules Adele had set for her and call her “Master” in public.
Hearing Celeste’s response, Adele narrowed her bright pink eyes slightly.
“Celeste, you’re very good.”
“But not smart enough.”
“...”
“I want you to guess what I really want to drink.”
As Adele spoke, she leaned towards Celeste’s chest.
Her gaze swept up from Celeste’s chin and nose, finally landing on her clear, emerald green eyes.
She saw Celeste’s slightly trembling pupils.
And her bobbing Adam’s apple, the sexy curve of her neck.
“Then... shall I take Master home now?”
She said “home,” not temporary residence or anything else.
Adele didn’t deny it, she smiled and nodded slightly.
Celeste... guessed it right.
The pleasant night passed quickly.
The next day, Celeste got up and went out early.
Adele felt the movement beside her and woke up from her dream, rubbing her sleepy eyes.
The girl was wearing a well-fitting silk nightgown, her dazed appearance as she sat up was endearing.
Leaving such a girl’s side, instead of continuing to cuddle, was undoubtedly a sin.
“Where are you going... Celeste?”
Adele’s voice was soft and sleepy, filled with confusion.
“Master, today is Friday.”
“Huh? What about Friday? I’ve only heard of KFC’s Crazy Thursday, I haven’t heard of Crazy Friday...”
Celeste chuckled.
But she still explained in a gentle and slow voice,
“Master, Friday means that today is not a holiday, I have to go back to school for class.”
“What!?”
Adele suddenly woke up.
It was like someone who was sleeping soundly, suddenly having the thought “Oh no! Am I going to be late for school!” and then immediately rolling out of bed, washing up, changing into their school uniform, and packing their backpack.
But when they reached the door, they often realized that it was actually the weekend and they didn’t have to go to school at all!
In Adele’s case, she instantly realized that she was still on leave and didn’t have to go to school at all!
But Celeste was different!
She couldn’t stay with her like yesterday anymore.
“Damn it!”
An inappropriate word came out of the girl’s mouth.
If she encountered Dorothy, she would just pretend to be sick!
“Depression,” “bipolar disorder,” “mania”... there was always one that would suit her!
Adele didn’t want to go back to school for the time being, so she went to the living room to enjoy the breakfast Celeste had made for her.
It was a simple but nutritious sandwich, fresh fruit salad, and milk.
Adele took a bite of the sandwich and slowly chewed on it while opening the school’s private forum on her phone.
If she was tired of reading news from the ordinary world, Adele, as a vampire, could also check out the gossip and entertainment within the vampire community.
This was an experience that ordinary humans couldn’t enjoy, a glimpse into another unfamiliar and mysterious magical world.
And maybe, by pure chance, Adele could find information about witches on the forum.
Especially the Vengeance Witch.
Adele’s coveted experience pack~
She seemed to be a big sister too, it would be great if she could be saved.
But then Adele wouldn’t be able to become stronger.
Sigh, it was such a dilemma.
Also, Adele suddenly thought, since she could encounter the Vengeance Witch, it meant that her range of activity was near Dongdu City, maybe she was even hiding in Dongdu!
Any woman she passed by on the street could be her!
This brought up a question: why did the Vengeance Witch fall from being a human ability user to becoming a witch?
What kind of revenge was she seeking?
Perhaps someone would ask, shouldn’t these things be mentioned in the original novel?
But the truth was, the original author didn’t put any effort into describing such minor characters, in short, she was “heartless.”
Like Celeste, her fate was originally supposed to end abruptly when she stole the potion and challenged Hermione.
Then her story line would be completely cut off and disappear, and there would be no Celeste in the future.
She was a tool to advance the plot!
And the Vengeance Witch was almost the same, a dying villain witch, a model worker who provided experience points in the early stages.
She met the heroine, believed that Adele could inherit her “flame of revenge,” and since she didn’t have much time left, she turned Adele into a witch, leaving her the power of revenge.
And then – that was it!
This big sister died, tool number two! The heroine Adele’s experience pack!
The author never thought about introducing her background and past.
After all, it seemed like a waste of space to introduce someone who had no future.
Even her appearance was only briefly described as “hair as black as ink, eyes deep purple.”
That’s why Adele said the original author was “heartless.”
She didn’t know that the characters she wrote about were actually living people in another world.
Fortunately, Adele saved Celeste, preventing her life from ending in the challenge against Hermione.
As for this experience pack witch big sister...
Uh... Adele thought to herself, she, a weakling, couldn’t save her.
Protect her from being hunted down by the elite human organization?
No way...
She couldn’t even protect herself in her current situation...
And Adele really needed to become stronger, she dreamt of becoming stronger every day.
Because only in this way could she ensure her own safety.
To avoid being taken away as a toy by crazy noble girls like Amaterasu Kuro and Tsukimi Shiro again.
At most, Adele would use the power the Vengeance Witch left her to help her fulfill her wish for revenge as much as possible.
As for the rest, Adele was powerless to help.
So, Vengeance Witch big sister, please take your “experience pack” lunchbox.
Thank you.
..................
At the same time, in a petty bourgeois cafe in Dongdu.
A tall, sexy woman was silently waiting for her coffee.
She fit the image of a typical urban beauty in most people’s imaginations, an elegant black slip dress, a choker around her neck that caught the eye.
With long, straight black hair, her deep purple eyes looked no different from black under normal circumstances, only revealing their magnificent purple color when they caught the light.
Ever since she entered the cafe, customers started leaving one after another for no reason.
And the coffee she was waiting for hadn’t arrived yet.
But she still waited patiently, picked up a magazine from the bookshelf, and silently browsed the information and scenic pictures on it.
It seemed like she was still attached to this world.
However, the Vengeance Witch’s desire for revenge outweighed everything.
She could even sacrifice everything.
She was the one who would set this world on fire.
Finally, after her, another girl pushed open the glass door of the cafe and walked in.
Wearing a school uniform, she still had a childish air, a young girl.
Perhaps even smaller than Adele, like an elementary school student.
She came to the woman’s table and sat down, resting her chin on her arms on the table, staring at the woman in front of her with a serious expression, as if sulking.
Under the girl’s neat, short black hair, her delicate, doll-like face looked even more world-weary than the Vengeance Witch.
Even the woman herself was stunned for a moment, then she showed a strange smile.
Only then did the waiter, who had been replaced, come over and serve them coffee.
The mature woman accepted it readily.
The delicate doll-like girl showed no interest at all.
Her gaze remained fixed on the Vengeance Witch’s face.
Their conversation began with one sentence.
“You’re more like a witch than me.”
