Mage Manual-Chapter 1427 - 1041: A Match Made in Heaven

"You keep talking about us, but what about yourself?"

Adelle raised an eyebrow: "Haven’t you noticed that you have areas that need improvement too?"

Ash blinked: "Huh, do I really?"

"Of course, for example, you’ve stirred up trouble now. Aren’t you afraid your girlfriend might feel resentful?" Adelle said, "Even though we’re not afraid, Iris still has a bit of influence, and not everyone dares to offend her!"

"Well..." Ash scratched his head, "I think I shouldn’t need to worry..."

"Tsk tsk tsk, you may know a lot about the Magic Faction, but when it comes to relationships, you’re still too naive." Adelle said with a worldly-wise air, "Relationships can’t withstand tests!"

"It’s not that this issue is particularly serious, but when you cause her a negative impact, she’ll start wondering if you’re dependable and worth her investment. She might even think about whether someone who’s so prone to getting into trouble is really the right partner for her."

Prone to trouble... Ash’s eyebrows twitched, and he sighed deeply with a sense of resonance.

"However, given that we got you involved, we have a bit of responsibility for your trouble as well." Adelle changed the topic, "Let’s exchange contact information. You can reach out to Lois and Ingrid for help anytime in the future."

Lois: "?"

Ingrid: "?"

"Lois is quite wealthy, her family’s war dress business holds 40% of the market share, and she’s the only daughter in the family. She’s also a mage, and she’s bound to become a rising noble." Adelle patted Ash’s shoulder familiarly and sighed, "Ah, I wonder who’s lucky enough to catch Lois’s favor. Whoever becomes her partner will hit the jackpot. And she’s so beautiful, in her first year, she received so many flower bouquets her dorm couldn’t hold them."

"Ingrid may not be as rich as Lois, but she’s a student of Trozan, a Holy Sanctuary Mage, and is believed to have the potential to break into the Holy Domain. Sooner or later, she’ll become a Holy Sanctuary Mage! They’re all nobles without exception, maybe even close to palatial nobility in the future. You see, Ingrid is focused on swordsmanship, she’ll definitely need a caring partner to manage those daily chores. And let me tell you, Ingrid may keep it under wraps, but her figure is surprisingly good..."

As she spoke, she glanced back with a playful wink at her roommates, looking like she expected compliments.

For what it’s worth, Adelle definitely has the talent of a Spirit Mage. She could almost instantly sense the thoughts stirring among her roommates. Even though Ash is not a local nor a mage, his decisiveness and courage in the conflict, along with the confidence and charm he exudes in conversations, are enough to overshadow his shortcomings.

They’re women who can control their own marriages. Compared to material conditions, good love attracts them more. And Ash has fully demonstrated his loyalty to love—even though it’s a pity he’s not a first love, getting a highly complete lover directly is also not bad!

Lois’s face was flushed red with anger, eager to unleash a Rapid Stream to smash Adelle’s head, but she restrained herself, pulling Ingrid to stop Adelle from embarrassing herself. Yet, Ingrid was deep in thought, ignoring her.

"What about you?" Ash suddenly asked with a smile.

"Me?" Adelle was startled, defensively crossing her chest, "I have a fiancé."

"I have a girlfriend too." Ash mimicked her defensive gesture, "So I appreciate your good intentions, but to avoid making my girlfriend jealous, I should reduce interactions with other women as much as possible."

"That’s a mistaken concept!" Adelle declared righteously, "Exactly because you’re in a romantic relationship, you should interact with more different women, so you can understand your girlfriend’s feelings! As long as you harbor no improper thoughts, the one who should reflect should be your girlfriend. Everyone needs their own social circle."

Lois and Ingrid exchanged glances—they remembered how not long ago, Adelle had been angry for an entire night because of an unknown woman in her fiancé’s chat list. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"Also, not all relationships end as a union. If one side harbors ill intentions, the ending might just be a tragedy." Adelle said meaningfully, "For instance...I have a roommate whose lover is a major scumbag, a total brat, a loudmouth!"

Ash looked at her in shock: "How do you know?"

"I recognized it at a glance, that kind of person screams scumbag."

Adelle huffed and then sighed again: "Unfortunately, I realized it too late. I no longer have a chance to warn her. If she appeared before me now, as an official of the Claw Club, I’d definitely scold her to see the true colors of that scumbag!"

By this point, they had reached Building 21, which housed the women’s dormitory, naturally a place even public like Gulalafe couldn’t enter. With Lois and the others leading, the only male in the group managed to blend in.

"Maybe it’s not as it seems," Ash meekly suggested, "Perhaps she hasn’t been playing with feelings..."

Adelle was growing impatient, why was this guy still not acknowledging his girlfriend was playing with his feelings?

"You simply lack perspective, not understanding how deep the waters run in the city, so you should chat more with these beautiful girls, that way you can see through the traps within feelings." Adelle glanced at the two behind her, "We aren’t trying to interfere with your feelings with your girlfriend, just helping you analyze what a normal couple looks like..."

Lois felt a stir in her heart. Her dignity wouldn’t allow her to poach someone’s partner, but if it was just helping someone escape a toxic love affair...

She turned her head to look at Ingrid, but happened to meet Ingrid’s eyes. They both subconsciously looked away, making the atmosphere become quite subtle.

As they reached the third floor, Adelle noticed that Ash was still following them and exclaimed, "Is your girlfriend also on this floor?"

"Yeah."

"Then let us say a few nice things on your behalf later, so your girlfriend won’t blame you for offending Iris." Adelle laughed, "By the way, you’re really something, managing to scare Iris to tears with a gun that only had blanks!"

Huh!?

Both Lois and Ingrid simultaneously noticed something amiss—That gun belonged to Iris, so why would she be scared if it was just blanks?

There was only one possibility: Iris knew that her gun was real!

Ingrid recalled more details: her Sword Barrier perfectly blocked the thunderous release of the Two-winged Shield Axe Mage, and she somehow had divine assistance in taking down the Shield Axe Mage afterwards, and...

Her meticulously trained swordsmanship was recognized at a glance.

"Eh? Didn’t lock the door?" Adelle opened her dorm room door, turned to Ash standing outside, and giggled, "Wanna see what a female university student’s dorm looks like?"

Ash gladly nodded, and after they went in, he followed, closing the door behind him.

Everyone was taken aback, and just then, the balcony door hinge gave a dull creak, as wind and snow whooshed in, but it wasn’t cold at all.

They turned around to see a familiar red-haired girl appear before them. A Light Screen was still floating in front of her, seemingly she was just watching a show outside. Unlike Adelle, who liked to curl up in bed to watch alone, she preferred lying on the balcony sofa chair, enjoying the night scene and a good show.

"So..." Adelle instinctively covered her mouth to stop herself from shouting, "Sonia?!"

Sonia spread her arms to them, happily squinting her eyes, even the corners of her eyes were smiling. She took a couple of steps forward and tightly hugged everyone, excitedly twirling around in the dorm room.

Lois was somewhat at a loss for words: "Why are you— now all of Jiale City is looking for you— this is very dangerous—"

"Let’s have some milk tea first."

The only male in the girls’ dorm took out cups of full-sugar milk tea from a thermal bag: "The juicy grape with cheese milk cap is for Lois; the large cup of pudding milk tea with coconut is for Adelle; lemon tea is for Ingrid. I’m having the same as you..."

"Yeah, it’s been a while since I had this!"

Sonia happily went over, unwrapped a straw, inserted it into the milk tea, and offered it to him, asking immediately after he took a sip, "How is it?"

"A bit too sweet." He answered honestly, "But still tasty."

"It might be too sweet at first, but you’ll quickly get addicted to it." Sonia held the milk tea, casually brushing off the snowflakes from his shoulder, biting the straw with a smile, "Just like me."

Seeing this scene, Lois and Ingrid already understood, but only Adelle foolishly asked, "Sonia, who... who is he?"

"Huh? Seeing you come back together, I thought you already knew each other."

"Haven’t you always wanted to know who my lover is?" Sonia introduced with poise, "My lover, Ash Heath... but I guess you might have already known him from the news."

"Sorry." Ash blinked, "It’s really inconvenient to reveal my identity outside..."

Adelle was dumbfounded for several seconds, suddenly took a deep breath, clapped her hands heavily, and said earnestly:

"You two are a match made in heaven, don’t let outside rumors affect you!"

Ash burst out laughing, while Lois and Ingrid looked helplessly at Adelle.

Wasn’t she supposed to give a scolding to the scumbag upon meeting?

Where did your spine as the Claw Club’s head go?
