The Girl Who Looted Tomorrow

Rank Three to Rank Four was a qualitative change.

It meant leaving behind the status of an ordinary mortal and stepping fully into the level of an [extraordinary lifeform]. Hot weapons had already begun losing their proper effect against War Freya.

It was, frankly, a little absurd.

Life Freya also discovered that War Freya’s internal organs were far stronger than those of an ordinary person. After all, for such a powerful body to operate efficiently, the parts inside had to meet the standard as well.

By a simple estimate, War Freya’s heart and lungs were at least dozens of times stronger than those of an ordinary person.

That allowed her to generate enough energy during intense movement to keep something like a train running.

If that was not intuitive enough, then put it this way.

Even if War Freya dug out her own heart, someone shooting at that heart might still fail to pierce it.

That heart was bulletproof.

Remember the adjutant’s [All-Out Strike], the one that had instantly killed Euphemia and could even have killed Life Freya in one shot?

If that attack hit the current War Freya, it would at most leave her heavily injured.

And that had been the adjutant’s near-death strike with his [Blood Fury] buff fully activated.

If it had been a normal [All-Out Strike], it would at most cause a light injury.

In other words, once the adjutant had used up his abilities and exhausted his limited spirituality, an injured War Freya could absolutely charge over and tear him into several pieces with her bare hands.

As Life Freya thought about this, she quickly realized something even more absurd.

Through [Lifeform Modification], she could completely record War Freya’s organs and body structure, then copy them onto Life Freya or the main body.

That would allow Life Freya and the main body to gain similar physical strength.

However, when it came to whether she should copy it onto the main body, she hesitated.

At first glance, it seemed like a good thing with only benefits and no drawbacks.

But once she really did it, she would be destroying the main body’s identity as a pure human and turning it into a War Path-style [extraordinary lifeform].

Would that affect the main body’s ability to drink other potions in the future?

Freya thought about it and felt the possibility was very high.

Besides, she now felt that being a pure ordinary human might still be an advantage in certain special situations.

So she decided not to do it.

After all, if she really wanted the main body to become stronger, wouldn’t it be more convenient to overwrite the main body with a save file and directly turn herself into a practitioner?

With the ability to simulate the future, plus these two powerful clones who could be summoned at any time, Freya felt that even if her main body remained an ordinary person, she probably would not run into much danger.

After roughly finishing her study of War Freya’s abilities, the time had already passed midnight.

Freya glanced at the system, which had entered a fifteen-hour cooldown, and prepared to rest.

She decisively recalled War Freya into the system.

But when she looked at Life Freya and smelled the faint fragrance coming from her other self, she immediately made a decision.

The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

She would use this version of herself as a body pillow and sleep while hugging Life Freya tonight.

Freya had always had the habit of holding something while sleeping.

In the past, she had usually clutched part of her blanket.

Now, she had a better-quality body pillow that was soft, warm, and sweet-smelling. No matter how much she hugged or cuddled “the other party,” there would be no complaints.

Was there anything better than that?

The two of them did not need to communicate at all.

They both began taking off their clothes, then slipped under the blanket.

Freya’s rented apartment was tiny, and the bed was only a single bed.

Fortunately, she was the petite type.

Even with two people sleeping in the same single bed, it did not feel crowded.

The two versions of herself pressed tightly together, four legs tangled with each other.

Rather than saying Freya treated her other self as a body pillow, it was more accurate to say that both Freyas treated each other as body pillows.

Freya thought, A soft, sweet-smelling Earth Path clone. Hehe.

Life Freya thought, A cute main body. Hehe.

Time soon reached the next morning.

Freya woke up early.

She slept very quietly and almost never moved around, so the position she had fallen asleep in last night was still the position she was in now.

Freya first got out of bed and washed up as usual.

Then she released War Freya’s clone.

She planned to let both clones stay home for now, so Life Freya could thoroughly study War Freya’s body structure first.

As for Freya herself, she was going to recreate her first meeting with Euphemia.

It was worth mentioning that after Freya walked a few steps outside, she suddenly felt that something was wrong with the ground beneath her feet.

That was when she realized she had forgotten to put on shoes.

She had completely developed the habit.

She hurried back home and put her shoes on properly.

The main body did not have extraordinary abilities like Life Freya, so she still had to wear socks and shoes like a normal person.

Once again, she walked along the road toward the Earth Church.

At the same time, in the same place, at the crossroads, Freya saw Euphemia standing there, looking around in a way that made her stand out from the surrounding crowd.

After Euphemia saw her, she soon approached on her own.

She removed her hat, gave a slight bow, and made a very gentlemanly gesture.

“My super adorable miss, you look terribly worried. Have you run into some trouble? Why not tell me about it? The great detective [Euphemia] would be happy to help.”

Looking at this scene that felt so familiar, Freya’s eyes somehow grew slightly moist.

Before, in the simulation, she had watched Euphemia die right in front of her, yet she had not reacted much at the time.

But now, she felt as if she could barely hold herself together.

Perhaps to Freya, the “farewell” inside the simulation had been false.

But this “reunion” in reality was as real as it could possibly be.

“Huh?”

Seeing Freya’s reaction, Euphemia froze outright.

“Eh? Eh, eh? What happened? Are you all right?”

After all, from Euphemia’s perspective, she had simply seen an extremely cute girl and come over to strike up a conversation.

Why did the other girl suddenly look like she was about to cry?

Freya rubbed the corner of her eye with her hand.

Then she took a deep breath, shook her head, and said, “I’m fine. My name is Freya. It’s nice to meet you.”

In truth, including the time spent in the simulation, Freya and Euphemia had only known each other for around ten days.

That was definitely not a long time.

But the relationship between two people was not determined by whether they had known each other for one or two years before they counted as friends, while ten days or half a month did not count.

To Freya, Euphemia was the first close friend she had made after crossing into this world.

More than that, Euphemia was a friend who had taken a blade for her and saved her life.

As for Amy, to Freya, Amy was someone who had treated the original owner very well.

She was a familiar stranger, a close classmate.

If one had to compare, Amy could not compare to Euphemia.

However, Freya’s reaction only made Euphemia even more confused.

Through microexpression observation, she reached a very strange conclusion.

The girl in front of her knew her, and she was very happy to see her.

But that made no sense.

Euphemia had a very good memory.

She was absolutely certain this was the first time she had met Freya.

Still, out of a careful attitude, Euphemia asked, “Have we met before?”

Freya shook her head.

“We haven’t met before. But we have met in the future.”

A question mark practically appeared over Euphemia’s forehead.

Her mind was filled with one thought.

Girl, what are you talking about?

Normally speaking, two strangers meeting for the first time should have at least some caution between them.

As the saying went, you should never plan to harm others, but you should never forget to guard yourself either.

But to Freya, she already knew Euphemia was someone she could trust.

So there was no need to keep hiding everything at a time like this.

She said directly, “Euphi… mia. Last year, your family wanted you to drink a Law Path potion and go work for Special Affairs, but you refused. Then you fed that potion to your family’s parrot, and the parrot ended up hitting you.”

“In the end, with your grandfather’s support, you drank a Scholar Path potion, left home, and came to this city to become a private detective…”

“Stop, stop, stop!”

Euphemia was completely stunned.

Flustered, confused, and deeply embarrassed all at once, she said, “Wait. How do you know all of that?”

To Euphemia, this felt like seeing a beautiful girl, going over to flirt and ask for her contact information, only for the other person to immediately reveal that she had still wet the bed at some embarrassing age.

Who would not be stunned by that?
