Adele finally got to touch the extraordinary magic staff.

Unlike First Snow, who casually tossed it on the ground because it was “too heavy,” Adele treated the staff as if it were her first love, with utmost care and gentleness.

She held it in her palms, reluctant to even stroke it.

As for her previous sleepiness, it was completely washed away by the excitement of having the staff.

Adele was full of energy.

But this was understandable. For every magic apprentice, a magic staff was a coveted item.

Its main function was to amplify the mage’s own magic power, and using the staff as a medium could also better communicate with the elements, making spells form faster.

 

Although for top-level powerhouses, the auxiliary effect of a staff was limited, for Adele, having a staff or not was the difference between a “whale” and an “ordinary player”!

Anyone who had been abused by “whales” in the arena, experiencing that overwhelming numerical advantage, would understand the importance of a “staff” just like Adele!

As everyone knew, Adele only had a magic refinement level of 0.5.

But if she added the staff, she could at least double it, reaching a magic refinement level of 1.

In other words, she became a 1!

Was this not enough to show the necessity of a staff?

However, Adele was too enthusiastic about the staff, which led to her neglecting First Snow.

 

First Snow, sitting on the soft carpet in her girl form, holding a cat teaser in her hand, was very dissatisfied. Her puffed-up cheeks became two cute snowballs.

 

“Meow! Play with me, meow!”

Even her voice became a little whiny, showing how unhappy she was.

Was that stick more charming than her!

Seeing First Snow’s rare tantrum, Adele realized that she had indeed been too focused on the staff and forgotten that it was actually First Snow, the cat-girl, who brought it to her.

For this alone, shouldn’t she open a few cans of tuna for First Snow?

“Okay, okay, I’m coming, I’ll play with you until you’re satisfied~”

 

“But try not to make too much noise, or it will disturb the… sister next door, meow.”

When Adele was with First Snow, her verbal tic would also temporarily become ending her sentences with “meow.”

“Okay, meow!”

First Snow happily raised her tail.

It wasn’t wagging its tail because when a cat wagged its tail, it actually meant it was angry or annoyed.

A cat’s truly relaxed and happy state was when its tail was held high, raised, and its paws were light and nimble when it walked.

It was dogs that wagged their tails when they were happy.

 

Like… Celeste?

Adele played with First Snow for a long time, until First Snow was tired and curled up comfortably in her arms.

Adele gently brushed away the strands of hair that were clinging to the girl’s fair, pink cheeks.

Adele was also quite tired, but it was far from outweighing the surprise First Snow had given her.

So she could tolerate the cat’s willfulness, sacrifice her sleep time, and satisfy First Snow’s need for companionship.

Yes, the need for companionship. Cats needed the company of friends, otherwise, they would be lonely, meow.

 

Although most people regarded First Snow as Principal Winona’s pet, only Winona and First Snow knew that they were friends.

 

Friends who had been together since they were young, growing up side by side.

Unfortunately, as Winona became stronger and her status in the magic world rose, becoming the youngest legendary mage and the principal of Cromwell Academy, her personal time was severely limited, and she could no longer satisfy First Snow’s need for companionship like she used to.

So the students often saw the lonely First Snow catching butterflies in the garden, spreading her fluffy belly on the roof of the castle-like house to bask in the sun.

Occasionally, she would go to the artificial lake in the academy and steal the small fish from the buckets of the old professors who were fishing.

Ahem, could a cat eating fish be called stealing? It wasn’t stealing, it was… taking, taking fish, meow!

She would also encounter girls like Li Lige, and then peacefully enjoy their “offerings.”

Constantly using this method to alleviate her loneliness.

 

But it still couldn’t compare to the time she spent with Xiao Wei.

Why did Xiao Wei have to grow up?

The world she faced after growing up wasn’t fun at all, meow…

She wanted to find someone like Xiao Wei again, someone to accompany her, meow!

The Cat-Bird’s special ability was to recognize the chosen one.

The so-called chosen one was someone who would greatly influence the entire world in the future.

Winona, as the youngest legendary mage, the strongest genius in the magic world, was indeed worthy of this title.

 

But Adele… why was she the one favored by First Snow?

This was also the reason why Li Lige was so shocked.

 

But whether she was willing to accept it or not, it was a fact.

And Adele was completely unaware of this…

Well, the original novel mostly focused on the protagonist Adele and a few vampire characters.

The stories of other characters, such as the relationship between the youngest legendary mage and her Cat-Bird friend, didn’t appear in the main text at all.

The reason Adele could have experiences beyond the original novel was because she was truly entering this world as the protagonist. She could feel everything around her, no longer limited by the author’s perspective like before.

 

Similarly, she could also change everything through her influence.

Like Celeste’s ending, Li Lige’s…

But this influence was also divided into strong and weak.

Strong influence was like Celeste, directly subduing her and making her her dog.

Now, if the master said east, the obedient puppy wouldn’t dare to go west, and Celeste successfully avoided a tragic ending.

Weak influence was like Li Lige’s situation.

Although Adele said some things that could change Li Lige’s fate, whether she could truly change her fate depended entirely on Li Lige’s own decision.

 

………………

Adele looked at First Snow quietly.

Their current posture was quite intimate.

First Snow spread her legs and sat on Adele’s closed knees, forming an M-shaped position.

She hugged Adele’s waist tightly, her face buried in Adele’s chest, her soft cat ears twitching slightly.

Although they were small, they could still bury her face!

 

But if it were anyone else, Adele would definitely consider them a pervert.

 

But First Snow…

It felt like the little girl had no concept of boundaries between girls, so it was acceptable.

First Snow was slender, even smaller than the petite Adele.

It felt like taking care of a childish little sister.

And the little sister’s eyes were pure and innocent, her light blue eyes sparkling, looking up slightly at Adele, making Adele sigh inexplicably.

Sighing at her purity and clarity, like a jade stone seeing the light of day for the first time.

“Naughty girl.”

 

Adele didn’t know where this feeling came from.

Perhaps she just wanted to tease First Snow, so she said in a low and soft voice.

Unexpectedly, First Snow showed a very indignant look, puffing out her cute cheeks and pouting.

“First Snow is a good girl, meow!”

“A very good girl, meow!”

“Then, how can you prove it?”

Adele might not even know that she was unconsciously setting a trap for First Snow, but she still said it.

 

Hearing this, First Snow’s breathing instantly quickened.

“Prove… prove, meow…”

She muttered to herself, as if thinking about how to make Adele believe that she was the best and most obedient girl in the world.

Then, the little cat-girl’s eyes lit up.

She had an idea.

“Adele can do anything to First Snow, meow!”

“Even… even touch the feathers inside, meow…”

 

When she said the last sentence, First Snow’s voice obviously weakened, revealing her hesitation and shyness.

The little cat-girl probably blurted it out without thinking, and it was too late to regret it.

Feathers? The feathers inside…

Adele’s heart skipped a beat.

Come to think of it, that was indeed a place she had never touched before.

It was the part that First Snow carefully hid with her long wings, always pressed against her back.

If it was deliberately hidden, then it meant that First Snow was… very sensitive to being touched there.

 

However, even so, she was still willing to tell Adele about this weakness of hers.

This touched Adele’s heart.

Under normal circumstances, when one person felt another person’s good intentions, which were usually promises, they would stop according to the unspoken rules.

For example, someone might say – “For you, I’m willing to die.”

Then naturally, the other party would reply – “How could I bear to let you die? I’ve received your love.”

No matter what, they wouldn’t say “Okay, then go die”!

But for Adele…

 

A weakness only had meaning if it was in her hands.

So she ignored those established unspoken rules and her hand, which was resting on the girl’s slender and smooth back, slowly moved towards the inner downy feathers covered by First Snow’s wings.

Her nimble fingers gently brushed against them.

“Meow~! “

First Snow’s reaction was very strong, her whole body trembling in Adele’s arms.

But the more she trembled, the more she burrowed into Adele’s arms, her small and delicate body becoming incredibly soft, like a puddle of creamy white mud.

The little cat-girl’s pupils contracted into a vertical line. A cat’s vertical pupils only became a straight line when they were very nervous and uneasy.

 

First Snow’s eyes were a mixture of shock and shyness, pulled by different emotions, with a hint of catnip-induced daze.

Yes, catnip…

Adele’s touch was like catnip, alluring, but also with a hint of danger.

But this danger was sometimes also called… “excitement.”

First Snow’s downy feathers were incredibly soft, covered by her light golden wings, showing a pure white color.

Now, with Adele’s gentle strokes, they were being rearranged at will.

Under Adele’s touch, First Snow gradually lost the ability to think coherently, only whimpering and meowing, sticking out her pink tongue like a puppy, panting rapidly against Adele’s chest.

 

Was it that comfortable?

Adele looked at First Snow’s reaction with a playful gaze.

And her condescending, naked gaze also became one of the sources of First Snow’s increasing sensitivity.

Being… being looked at by Adele like this…

It felt like her whole body was going to… meow…

It was a place that even Xiao Wei hadn’t touched…

(Xiao Wei and First Snow were purely platonic friends, no lewd elements.)

(But Adele’s intentions towards First Snow weren’t so pure, after all, who doesn’t like cat-girls?)

“Can I continue?”

Adele asked pretentiously.

But her hands didn’t stop, she didn’t seem to have any intention of listening to First Snow’s opinion.

She was just using the question to see First Snow’s more interesting reaction.

To see her ears flapping, to see the soft white hairs on her tail stand up slightly and become fluffy due to excitement.

To see fine, fragrant beads of sweat appear on her fair cheeks.

Adele couldn’t help but taste one.

It was actually sweet…

It was already difficult for First Snow to endure the impact of that feeling rampaging within her, and now she had to endure Adele’s teasing.

“Meow… n-no… (don’t)”

“Meow!?!”

W-why did she lick her…!

 

First Snow’s expression was too shocked.

As for how to describe the little cat-girl’s eyes, those who had cats at home could try licking their cat.

The expression the cat showed would be the same as First Snow’s, meow.

Adele pursed her lips, her gaze shifting slightly to the side.

She clearly looked a little guilty.

“I-it’s just… to express friendship~”

Adele quickly came up with an excuse.

When it came to deceiving girls, Adele’s mind was countless times faster than usual.

If she used this ability in her studies and exams, getting accepted into a prestigious university would be a piece of cake.

“First Snow must have seen it, right? Those stray cats in the academy, all of them are fed by the students until they’re like little pigs, ahem, that’s beside the point.”

“Don’t they lick each other’s fur to express friendship?”

Adele stopped her fingers to ensure that First Snow wouldn’t lose her ability to express herself normally due to sensitivity.

The cute little cat-girl panted softly and started to recall,

“It seems… that’s right, meow. They groom each other’s fur, licking and combing with their tongues…”

“That feeling… seems to be very comfortable, meow…”

But First Snow was a slightly germaphobic Cat-Bird.

She would occasionally play with those cats.

But some of them wanted to lick First Snow, and as soon as First Snow sensed their intentions, she would immediately fly away with disgust, flapping her wings.

In short, First Snow’s attitude towards those cats was probably like looking at fools.

First Snow could be merciful and play games with these fools, it wasn’t because she was playful herself.

But letting them lick her fur… no way, meow!

But Adele was obviously different.

Adele was special…

Adele could do… anything to First Snow, meow.

Seeing that First Snow seemed to be somewhat moved by her crooked logic, her jade-like eyes rippling with seductive waves and mist, Adele couldn’t help but feel secretly delighted and even more tempted.

Although it was wrong to deceive fools, but… it was so irresistible!

Besides, she wouldn’t just bully First Snow, she would also spoil her.

Such a cute little First Snow, so pure and capable~ Who wouldn’t like her?

It was like facing a delicate flower, dewdrops wetting its soft petals, making people want to get close and smell its fragrance.

“Yes, comfortable, comfortable is enough.”

Adele hugged First Snow even tighter, her fingers continuing to tease and touch.

She even used her tongue to lick First Snow’s flushed and burning cheeks.

Making her feel her presence… overwhelming.

Completely captivating her heart.

“I’ll make First Snow comfortable, I’ll play with First Snow…”

“I’ll stay by First Snow’s side, just the two of us, only looking at First Snow…”

Staying by First Snow’s side…

Only looking at First Snow?

The cat-girl’s pupils gradually turned peach pink.

Really… is that okay, meow?

Her eyes were so easy to read, so full of longing for companionship.

A lonely and playful child.

Of course, according to human age, First Snow had probably lived for decades or even centuries.

A legally legal loli, meow.

Adele was best at reading such lonely eyes.

And she was also good at making seductive promises.

“Of course, I’ll play with First Snow.”

“I’ll do more… fun and comfortable things with First Snow.”

“But there’s one thing, First Snow, don’t tell… Principal Winona, okay?”

“…Xiao Wei?”

“Yes, don’t tell Xiao Wei.”

“Because this is our little secret~”
