Act 316. embrace
In the evening, after walking around the nearby mall, Reiner returned to the hotel, where the decoration was only halfway done but came to an abrupt end, and the hall was empty, with a different kind of loneliness.
No sooner had stepped up the stairs than Reiner saw two people on the other side preparing to check out.
He vaguely felt that the two were a little familiar, and after a closer look, he found that this was the two of them when he first met West at Olmster Airport, Reiner remembered that they received a small piece of paper from West, and then quite convinced, but he didn't expect it to be the Windermere Hotel.
"Has he been silently helping the family?"
Reiner shook his head, walked up the stairs, and went to Claire's room to take a look.
Claire had already eaten dinner and was sitting on the bed playing with Lady Freya, and she didn't wonder why the Crescent House cat was in Olmster, or maybe she hadn't reacted to it yet.
"Meow meow, meow, meow!"
Claire curled one hand, simulating a paw to tease the kitten, but Lady Freya apparently didn't care, only moved her ears slightly to indicate that she heard, and didn't bother to pay attention to Claire.
"Meow meow? Meow meow! ”
Claire pretended to be a cat and kept harassing Lady Freya, but the other party remained indifferent.
I don't know what Claire would have thought of what she had just done if she knew that Lady Freya could actually speak human words.
I once heard someone say that when you are playing with a cat, it is not that you are teasing the cat, but that the cat is teasing you, you look at it and feel that the cat is stupid, no matter what it encounters, it does not react, in fact, the cat knows everything, the difference is only whether it is in the mood to ignore you.
Helpless, Claire could only take out her secret cat teasing stick.
As soon as the bell rang, Madame Freya turned her head, and as the cat-teasing stick tied to the furball and bell was pulled by the rope, her gaze swayed, and then her head turned with the amplitude.
Eventually, she couldn't control herself and jumped up trying to grab the stick.
However, the little ball with the bell strapped to the other side nimbly flew to the other side, and with the crisp sound of the bell, it seduced the heartstrings of Madame Freya.
She immediately pounced again, but it was still empty.
Claire was very happy, and kept flicking the cat stick, to the surprise of Lady Freya.
In the end, I don't know if it was Claire's negligence or if she felt that she had had enough, and finally slowed down the action of the cat teaser, and Madame Freya pounced on it, and bit the hairball so hard that she grabbed it with her paws, as if to relieve her anger.
"Is it fun?"
Watching the game of one man and one cat, Reiner's originally slightly heavy mood was also soothed a lot, and he asked, which made Claire, who was unaware, jump.
"You, you, when did you come back?"
Her cheeks were slightly red, probably wondering if she had done something indecent.
"Probably from when you pulled out the cat teasing stick, where did you get this?"
Reiner smiled and looked at Lady Freya, who was battling the furballs.
"I bought it on the side of the road, and there are often hawkers on the road over there, and I was woken up by this cat this morning, and I thought about buying a cat teasing stick to play with during lunch."
Claire allowed the cat teaser in her hand to be destroyed by Lady Freya, and her attention was all on Reiner, her fingers constantly rubbing against one end of the cat teaser.
"Reiner, what's going on today?"
Seeing Reiner's smile a little forced, she asked, even Uncle Mason and Aunt Gwen at the inn were a little depressed today, and even Claire sensed something was wrong.
Claire put down the teaser, stood up, walked up to Reiner, and then, with open hands, hugged Reiner.
The girl's hair came through the hug, which made Reiner feel a lot more at ease, Claire's soft body was close to Reiner, and her nose gently rubbed Reiner's chest, like a kitten seeking comfort, but incredible, in the face of such intimate contact, Reiner did not have any evil thoughts, he gently hugged Claire back, feeling the other party's heartbeat.
It was like a moment for ever, and it was only after about thirty seconds that Claire left Reiner's arms a little shyly, looking at him like he was looking at him.
"This is a special service, which you don't usually have."
She said with a red face, an expression that was pitiful and even more uncontrollable.
"Thanks, Claire, I've perked up a little more."
Reiner, who was close to Sage Mode, touched Claire's head, then turned his gaze to the kitten who was battling with the furball.
"I'm going to borrow this cat to use."
As he spoke, he lifted Lady Freya with both hands, ignoring her insistence on the cat teaser, and left the room.
"Okay, okay."
Claire was still immersed in Reiner's breath just now, feeling hot and unbearable, and could only silently watch the other party leave.
Reiner took Lady Freya back to her room, closed the door, and laid her on the bed.
"Do you know that Macon is a member of the Serpent of Chaos?"
Reiner asked, believing Lady Freya but still making sure, and sprinkled a handful of catnip, causing Lady Freya's eyes to misshapen.
"Meow meow??? Serpent of Chaos? What's that? ”
Lady Freya, who was intoxicated with catnip, looked puzzled, and Reiner's mention of the name confused her, and it seemed that she was not lying.
"Well, when did you know Macon lives in Olmster?"
Reiner then asked, Macon, who had already become a wanted man at a young age, and who lived in seclusion in Olmster, was not afraid that Madame Freya would leak out, but Madame Freya knew where Macon's location was?
"That was more than ten years ago, we had a class reunion, and Macon mentioned a meow at that time."
Madame Freya replied, licking her paws.
"Class reunion...... What is your school and graduation date? ”
Reiner asked hurriedly, and soon Madame Freya gave an answer.
Writing a letter to the local Magic Society, Reiner looked at Lady Freya lying on all fours on the bed.
"Do you still recognize Macon, or make out what he smells of?"
"Don't underestimate Mona's sense of smell, as long as you give the other party something that he has been exposed to recently, I can find him meow!"
Madame Freya looked up proudly, squinting as if she wanted Reiner to touch her head in reward.
"Then I'm going to ask you tomorrow."
Reiner said he needed to survey the fire scene because his instincts told him there was a secret for Macon.
In the middle of the night, Reiner left Lady Freya to Claire to play with, while he stayed in the room, when an owl flew quietly into the window and dropped a letter.
This was Reiner's reply to the letter he had just sent to the Magic Society, and he opened the envelope and read it carefully.
There are several death records here.
When Reiner heard Lady Freya's words, he wrote to the nearest Magic Society branch to retrieve information from Lady Freya and other students in Macon's class.
As a result, Reiner found that among the people in the same class of the magic school, except for Macon and Lady Freya, the other mages had died due to accidents or diseases!
As for Lady Freya, I'm afraid she escaped because she accidentally turned into a cat and kept her identity hidden!
