The Girl Who Looted Tomorrow

Freya froze.

“Eh…”

She thought back and remembered that Amy had indeed wanted to give the original owner some pretty clothes before.

But the original owner had been too embarrassed. She had not wanted to trouble anyone, and she had felt she could not repay the favor, so she had refused.

Amy suddenly thought of something. She covered her mouth with one hand, her eyes widening in disbelief.

“Wait… Faye, do you have a boyfriend? No wonder you’ve been asking for leave, coming late, and now you even have new clothes…”

Freya looked utterly confused.

“How is that possible? You’re overthinking it.”

Speaking of that, Freya truly had no interest in dating at all.

Although she had no memories of her previous life, she did remember the outrageous cost of cars and houses, the cost of baby formula, tutoring fees, and how expensive marriage could be.

When a person lived alone, three thousand a month could be enough for a comfortable life. But once marriage entered the picture, it felt as if no amount of money was ever enough.

Add in all the negative news about divorce, and back in Freya’s previous world, many people seemed to have become marriage-free types who felt that living alone was perfectly fine.

She was probably one of them.

Of course, the most important point was that Freya glanced around the classroom, her gaze passing over the male students one by one.

She found that she did not seem to like boys very much.

Finally, her eyes stopped on Amy.

Compared with boys, she seemed to prefer soft, sweet-smelling, adorable girls.

But that kind of liking was not the kind that made her want to date them.

It was simply because everyone liked cute and beautiful things, just as Freya also liked herself and liked her clone, Life Freya.

So Freya felt she should avoid causing trouble for anyone else.

Being alone was perfectly fine.

Seeing how firmly Freya denied it, Amy could not help letting out a breath of relief.

“That’s good.”

Freya tilted her head slightly.

“That’s good?”

Amy said, “I was worried you might have been tricked by someone. But no matter what, the old you always looked like there was a mountain pressing down on you. Just watching you made it feel a little hard to breathe. Now, you look much better than before.”

Freya said, “Eh? Did I?”

Amy nodded.

“It was pretty obvious. Anyway, I feel like the current you is even cuter.”

The two of them quietly chatted through the whole class.

For once, Freya let her thoughts go blank and enjoyed an ordinary school life.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, evening arrived.

At the school gate, Freya waved goodbye to Amy, then walked in the direction of her home.

However, after taking only a few steps, once Amy disappeared from her sight, Freya turned and walked into a small alley by the road.

She silently opened the system page and saw that [Future Simulation] had finished its cooldown.

Freya said softly, “Start simulation. Select save file 02, Life Freya.”

Then, one day passed inside the simulation in the blink of an eye.

Freya ended the simulation and returned to reality.

Effie had delivered the evidence to Special Affairs that morning. With the Mobile Unit’s speed, they should have arrived by now.

What came next was the surprise attack against General Jerome.

Freya’s purpose for this simulation was to run through the boss fight once before it happened in reality, just to get a rough idea of the situation and prevent any accidents.

The final result, naturally, was victory.

Two Rank Five combatants against one Rank Five, plus so many people from Special Affairs and the Earth Church.

Losing would have been the strange outcome.

However, in this simulation, Jerome’s strength still genuinely shocked Freya.

In the previous simulation, Jerome had not participated in the battle at all. He had exchanged positions with the adjutant and gone off to forcibly activate the occult array.

But in this simulation, because the occult array had not been drawn yet, Jerome could only stay and fight head-on.

Without exaggeration, if the Life Freya save file had not already advanced to Rank Five, the casualties would have been terrible.

At least four or five people on the Special Affairs and Earth Church side had suffered fatal injuries and had been forcibly saved by Life Freya.

As for ordinary injuries, there were too many to count.

In the adjutant’s hands, [One-Man Army] had been nothing more than soulless puppets.

Atticus could split their formation apart with a few earthen walls, and Special Affairs could kite them around and deal with them easily.

But in Jerome’s hands, [One-Man Army] displayed a completely different and terrifying level of combat power.

In truth, if they followed the same process as the simulation, they could still win, even if the process would be somewhat rough.

But after thinking about it, Freya felt there was still plenty of room for optimization.

For example, in the simulation, she could only act as Life Freya.

But in reality, she could operate both Life Freya and War Freya at the same time, so their combat power would be even higher than in the simulation.

At that moment, Life Freya and War Freya were still at Freya’s home.

With a single thought from Freya, the two clones vanished into thin air at the same time and were recalled into the system.

Immediately afterward, they appeared out of thin air beside her.

This recall-and-release action forcibly created an effect similar to teleportation.

After appearing, Life Freya went straight toward the Earth Church.

War Freya, meanwhile, headed directly to Jerome’s residence, preparing to set up an early ambush.

As for Freya herself, she went to the coffeehouse from before according to her agreement with Euphemia.

When she arrived, she found that Euphemia was already waiting for her.

A cup of coffee still giving off steam sat on the round table.

Euphemia leaned back in her chair with one leg crossed over the other, flipping through a book in her hands. From time to time, she picked up the coffee and took a sip.

Freya walked straight over and sat across from Euphemia.

Euphemia put down the book and was just about to speak when Freya spoke first.

“Captain Jessica’s Mobile Unit has already arrived in Auxerre City. They’ve gathered the others from Special Affairs and are preparing to launch a surprise attack on Jerome’s residence at eight tonight.”

Euphemia froze with her mouth slightly open, still in the middle of preparing to speak.

After a few seconds, she said, “That future-prediction ability of yours activated again, didn’t it?”

“Fine, fine. I’m somewhat used to it now. I won’t be shocked anymore.”

No, you definitely are not used to it yet, Freya silently complained in her heart.

In the simulation she had just ended instantly, hadn’t she used Life Freya’s save file?

When she had gone to meet Euphemia in that identity, Euphemia had completely frozen and said something that felt oddly familiar.

“Wait, how did you turn into a Rank Five practitioner after I didn’t see you for one day?”

It had to be said, Freya felt that teasing Effie like this was fairly fun.

Every time, she startled so easily, like a little cat with its fur standing up.

⸻

At the same time, the scene shifted to Life Freya.

She quickly arrived near the Earth Church.

She was still some distance away from the church, but her outfit was far too eye-catching.

Whether they were civilians walking outside or church believers, everyone cast curious glances at her.

The civilians generally sighed in admiration.

“What a beautiful girl.”

“She’s barefoot. Is she from the Earth Church too?”

“She looks just like an angel.”

As for the Earth Church believers, they whispered among themselves.

“Do we have someone like that in our church? Why don’t I remember her?”

“That outfit doesn’t look like church attire.”

“But she’s wearing a holy emblem on her chest. Is she from an Earth Church in another city?”

Life Freya passed in front of everyone and finally stopped before the church doors.

It was still the same gatekeeping believer.

Life Freya still remembered their first meeting. Back then, she had been using War Freya’s save file, and this person had driven her away outright.

The second time they met, she had been the main body. This person had immediately knelt, then excitedly invited her inside and rushed off to find the Archbishop.

As for this “third time”…

Fine, it was actually the fourth time, since she had just simulated it once.

This time, when the believer saw Life Freya, he froze for a full ten seconds.

When Life Freya had been walking earlier, although the people around her could see the holy emblem on her chest, they could not make out the details on it.

And although the Earth Path granted [Mind Sense] at Rank One, its perception range was extremely limited.
