Freya was awakened by the smell of food.
Today is April 29th, the third day she has been harboring the jailbreak. It is also the day when she has no classes in the morning and can sleep in.
The normal sleep time for an adult Veela is 12 hours, but this schedule obviously cannot keep up with the fast-paced city life. Therefore, when she has classes, Freya sleeps for six hours and then takes a wake-up pill. If necessary, she can only sleep for four hours and take two wake-up pills.
However, the wake-up drug will accumulate drug resistance, and once the dosage is increased, it will be difficult to reduce it. Therefore, Freya is very cautious to maintain the rhythm of one pill a day, and would rather yawn than take a second pill.
It’s not that I’m afraid of addiction, it’s mainly because the stimulant is expensive—this thing is more expensive than moon candy.
In fact, we can also say the other way around, that moon candy is too cheap.
That's how the blood moon is, entertainment is always cheap, and things that can be used to work and make money are definitely expensive.
For example, ogres can use moon candies to assist in painting. That is a racial talent that allows them to exploit loopholes, and I cannot envy it enough.
After saying hello to the evil saint, Freya yawned and went to the bathroom, put on a non-slip headband, took a shower, washed her face, brushed her teeth, and trimmed her hair. Because she was a naturally beautiful veela, and Freya did not need to entertain people with her beauty at the moment, but was the one who was responsible for paying, so she only needed to do simple skin care, which took less than half an hour in total.
Before leaving, she thought about it and decided to give Ash some face and put on her clothes before going out. After all, she was going to class instead of sleeping, so she had no reason to be naked.
Ash had already prepared the meal and was eating while watching the video. Freya leaned over to take a look and then stopped watching - "Analysis of the Advantages and Disadvantages of Each School of Magic (Part 1)".
"I suggest you watch a funny video instead, although this one is pretty funny too."
Ash was a little surprised: "Why? I just want to learn a little bit about other factions..."
"Your understanding will only lead to preconceived prejudices." Freya said, "Can you summarize yourself, who has existed for decades, in one sentence? Do you think a few minutes of introduction can summarize a school of magic that has existed for hundreds or even thousands of years?"
"Watching this kind of video will only make you think that earth magic is just about moving dirt, lightning magic is just a bunch of nonsense, sword magic requires close combat, illusion magic has no lethality, prophecy magic is just a bunch of weak scholars, and psychic magic can be restrained by just plugging your ears - you might as well know nothing, at least you will be more vigilant."
"If you want to understand a school of magic, you should at least read an introductory book, or at least listen to lectures by professional professors. Videos like this are not aimed at magicians, but non-magicians - these viewers just want to gain a sense of superiority that 'it turns out that magic schools are not that mysterious or even useless.'"
"You might as well watch the videos in the new folder. At least it won't do any harm and it can also increase your appetite."
Ash was stunned: "Can it really increase appetite?"
"You dare question the taste of a veela? I'll pick out a movie that will definitely whet your appetite—"
"No, no, I'll change the video." Ash quickly rejected the Veela's recommendation and quickly selected from the video screen: "Well, let's watch this store exploration video of "Why is it so expensive?" We also happen to be eating... Damn, a store exploration video of a tea and coffee shop!?"
"Wait, just look at this."
"Are you such an omnivore?"
"Logically, I shouldn't be an omnivore." Freya shrugged, "But it's also possible that I just haven't met a woman who makes my heart beat... Tsk, Cha Ka, you don't like watching it, then I'll change to Ni Ka's store exploration video?"
"Then let's look at this." Ash gave in.
You know what, the food seems to taste even better.
As he looked around, Ash looked around the single room and asked, "Have you been alone since you were admitted to university and left the foster home?"
Freya, who was eating seafood, looked at Ash with a puzzled look, "I am not a person, so how can I be a cat?"
She smiled at Xiaoxian and reached out to scratch the cat's chin. Xiaoxian looked very pleased and his saliva was almost flowing out.
"Have you ever thought about living together with someone else?" Ash asked, "Wouldn't it be more cost-effective for two people to live together? The cost of living will be reduced, and the quality of life will be improved..."
"No." Freya shook her head repeatedly: "I get a rent subsidy when I rent a house by myself, plus the college student subsidy, which can save me about 80% of the rent. Renting a house is so cheap, why should I share a house with others?"
"Wouldn't it be cheaper if two people shared the rent?"
"It's not like I can't live alone, why do I have to live with others?" Freya tilted her head: "I also had an independent room in the orphanage before, why do I have to live with others after I got out?"
"But if there are other people around, we can help each other in life, for example, if you fall and get hurt..."
"I can use the chip to notify the hospital to send an ambulance."
“Two people can cook at home instead of going out to eat…”
"In fact, I spend less money on eating in the school cafeteria than you spend on buying ingredients." Freya muttered, "I have to wash the dishes after cooking... My apartment is not equipped with a dishwasher..."
Ash couldn't help but say, "But since you have that need, wouldn't it be more convenient if you lived with your lover?"
Last night, Ash almost washed until his skin peeled off before the humming stopped. He thought he could just stay up all night to be done, but when he asked, he found out that Freya needed to solve the problem every night, basically three times. Depending on different factors such as the casting materials, mood of the day, amount of homework, etc., the casting time ranges from 15 minutes to 45 minutes.
Freya tilted her head and looked at Ash, her big eyes full of questions.
"Let's not mention that I'm a Veela, but solving a need is solving a need. What does this have to do with love? Have you ever been in a relationship?"
Although Ash wanted to act tough, in front of a highly skilled and experienced driver like Freya, he felt it would be better for him to be honest as he only had a large vehicle driver's license but no driving experience.
"No."
Freya's response surprised Ash: "Me neither, no decent person would fall in love."
Ash asked in confusion, "Why? With your looks, wouldn't it be easy for you to win the favor of the opposite sex? Or is it because your Veela physique scares others?"
Freya shook her head. "No, I'm wondering why you think I should fall in love. Do you Four Pillars believers still have such unrealistic fantasies?"
"Why is dating unrealistic?" Ash was puzzled. "You were watching the romantic comedy "The Magician" with the Veil of Knowledge last night. Weren't you laughing happily too?"
Freya became unhappy: "Then tell me what love is like in "The Magician 100%"
"Well... I love the other person deeply and sincerely, I care about the other person wholeheartedly, I will risk my life to protect the other person in times of crisis, and I am willing to accommodate the other person in daily life..."
"yes!"
"What's right?"
"How can a relationship like the one you described exist in reality, except in movies and TV shows?" Freya spread her hands. "Who would be willing to accommodate others, to think about others, or even to risk their lives to protect them? I just don't want to."
She paused. "I also have feelings like love, liking, and infatuation. For example, if I think you're pretty good, I'm willing to have sex with you once or twice, or even regularly. But if you want to take it a step further, like living with me, fully participating in my daily life and even future plans, then I can't accept that."
"For things like love, most college students know that there is no such pure relationship in reality. On the contrary, people with lower education will believe the plots in movies and TV dramas, and wishfully believe that there is true love in this world. There are a lot of such fools in the Veil Game. The ending is often that all the money is defrauded, and the particularly stupid ones even get into debt. However, the other side of the Veil is not a beautiful woman or a handsome man, but an orc uncle and a fat goblin woman."
Ash couldn't understand: "But isn't a relationship like love normal? In real life, you can always find someone you can trust, right? Can't you start as friends and then develop into a romantic relationship step by step?"
Freya chuckled. She couldn't help but reach out and touch the Demon Saint's head. She said with a smile: "Silly child, people change. He can be trusted now, but he may become addicted to moon candy and become stupid tomorrow, and he may have an adventure in the virtual world and start to dislike me the day after tomorrow."
"Didn't the foster care center teach you not to trust strangers and not to have expectations of strangers?"
