After Buying a Cat Slave, I Become Obsessed with Eavesdropping on Her Thoughts

In a world where tomorrow's bread is never certain and demi-humans are sold like livestock, Reiner makes a daring purchase: a cat-type demi-human whose talent outshines her tragic circumstances. A...

Chapter 21 Learning Magic from Junice (1/2)

Reiner bought a whole bag of bread with one gold coin.

After taking out a few pieces, he handed the rest to Martina: "Eat, these are all yours."

The system alarm rang frantically in his ears.

[Host, please pay attention to your financial planning! Even if you have money, you can't spend it like this.]

Reiner complained in his heart: "If I don't spend the money, then what's the point of earning it? Besides, I'm not wasting money. I'm rewarding Martina for killing the Goblin General. Rewards and punishments are not important."

The system fell silent.

Coming back to his senses, Reiner noticed that Martina swallowed and her eyes moved back and forth between Reiner and the bread, but she did not reach out to take it. She seemed to be conflicted.

In the past, she would have taken the bread and eaten it bite by bite.

Just as Reiner was beginning to feel doubtful, Martina's inner voice drifted into his ears: (Is this my last meal? Or will I be petted on the tail like Nora after I finish eating? I will never let you pet me...)

She just thought about these words in her mind but didn't say them out loud.

Reiner always felt that he was treated as a pervert.

He is a man with a sense of justice!

"Eat it quickly. You were brave yesterday, so this is your reward."

Martina suddenly understood, lowered her guard, and breathed a sigh of relief: "So that's how it is..."

"What else? What do you think you're going to do?"

Martina didn't answer, but her face turned red.

(I am so dirty...)

She untied the bag, took out the bread and started eating it in small bites, occasionally stealing a glance at Reiner.

(This much bread must be expensive, and Reiner spent a lot of money on me, so the day of redemption is getting further and further away.)

Reiner glanced at her and gave two pieces of bread to Nora and Junice respectively. The four of them ate while eating.

Junice took a bite, looked at the bread and said, "I haven't eaten bread in a long time. It's delicious."

Reiner looked at her and suddenly became curious: "If you don't eat bread, what do you usually eat?"

Junice shrugged. "Stewed peas or brown bread. If I had the money I'd make some vegetable soup."

Reiner was slightly stunned. These things were basically eaten by ordinary people.

And Junice doesn't look like a commoner...

"What's wrong?" Junice said as she put half a loaf of bread into her waist bag.

"You must be a noble, right?"

Junice smiled, then reached out and patted Reiner on the shoulder and asked, "Which noble would be like me, playing with cats in the Adventurer's Club every day?"

Reiner narrowed his eyes and studied her.

In short, this guy has fair skin, thin arms and legs, and doesn't look like a working man at first glance.

Moreover, training a magician requires a lot of money.

Whether it is hiring a tutor or buying books, it is a considerable expense.

Civilians simply don't have this condition.

Junice's staff is usually covered with a black cloth, which is only removed when in use.

Although her staff was made of wood, it had a bright red ruby ​​on the top, which was definitely not a cheap item.

So her family must be well off.

Either they are aristocrats or wealthy businessmen.

"Stop guessing and just treat me as a wandering wizard." Junice said with a smile.
