Chapter 100: The Hiccupping Cat

 According to the instructions of the thaumaturgy [Food of Fullness], Shade must choose an edible substance and start eating it from that night on, and he will be able to complete four meals before midnight.

There is a wide range of food to choose from, but it must meet the basic condition of being able to achieve fullness through normal use. In other words, things like northwest wind will not work, because even if you drink wind, it is difficult to drink until you are full. But in theory

To put it bluntly, if it is a handful of dust, as long as Shade dares to eat it, it is in line with the goal of thaumaturgy.

But Shade wanted to pick something "approachable" and something that could be seen everywhere, so he finally chose water. Among the three simple spells he mastered, he had the ability to directly summon water.

"I hope I don't die from bloating."

So he started to boil hot water with a kettle over and over again. During this period, he patted away the cat who was squatting by the pool and wanted to stretch his head to drink from the faucet. He was very worried about his own health.

Put the study materials including the stomach of viviparous animals, lanugo hair, bezoar, etc. into the kettle, soak them thoroughly, stir them while chanting the mantra, and then start drinking water over and over again.

When the amount of water consumed exceeds a certain limit, drinking water itself will become a very painful process. Shade doesn't know what the so-called "full state" is, so he can only drink as much as possible.

Later, even the ignorant cat thought that something might happen to Shade if he drank any more, so he stood on the dining table and used his little paws to stop him from touching the water glass. When Shade wanted to push the cat away, little Mia pawed again.

It hit Shade on the chest.

The small orange cat was not very powerful, but it still made Shade almost spit out a mouthful of water, so he thought it must be full at this time.

"Oh, I even got water poisoning."

This was what he was thinking at the time.

When the fourth drink of water finally ended, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening. Shade, who was holding the dining table, had never felt that he hated water so much, but he still mustered up the energy to take the last step.

He took a clean glass goblet from the cupboard, carefully poured a small amount of water into the bottom of the cup, then cut his finger with a fruit knife and dripped the blood into the water.

After letting it sit for a moment, he summoned the life ring in the steam mist and pointed the luster of the [Gluttony] rune at the water glass. The blood dispersed in the water immediately gave off a strange luster, and Shade immediately picked up the water glass and drank it all.

Then, I rushed into the bathroom with a huge feeling of vomiting, and it took me a long time to come out wiping my mouth with a towel.

"Meow~"

Little Mia squatted on the dining table and looked at him worriedly. Shade reluctantly smiled at the cat, then sat down again. He poured a small amount of water into the glass again, stretched out his hand and pointed at the water glass, and with the silver light flashing,

There was actually a sheen on the water surface that represented the power of the spiritual runes.

Although he had vomited a lot just now, Shade didn't want to drink water yet. So he poured the silvery water on his cut finger. Immediately, the wound on his finger squirmed and squirmed to the naked eye.

The visible speed of healing is much better than [Cyndia's Silver Moon Gift], and it can completely serve as a good healing ability.

What she said was indeed right. The power of the spiritual runes obtained by swallowing the evil god's divinity was indeed extraordinary.

She chuckled in his ear.

"It's a pity that [Satisfied Food] can only treat physical damage. With two healing abilities, the only thing I worry about now is mental damage during the day."

Shade thought to himself, and then saw little Mia lowering her head and licking the silvery water dripping on the dining table.

The orange cat suddenly raised its head and looked at Shade, its furry cheeks upward, its amber eyes looking into the detective's eyes, and its whiskers trembling as it raised its head. Its big eyes were very beautiful.

Then——

Hiccup~

Mia the cat suddenly burped and tried to cover her mouth with her right front paw, but she still couldn't suppress the hiccups. So little Mia fell into a state of being angry with herself, lying on the dining table and rolling around, covering her soft white belly.

exposed.

"Sure enough, you can achieve the 'full' state by using some...can't it only be useful to you?"

Shade suddenly realized this, and immediately understood that his special blasphemy [Gluttony] not only enhanced the power, but even made the food created by thaumaturgy useful to other creatures.

It's just that in the remaining liquid in the water glass, the silver light has weakened to the point where it is almost invisible, indicating that the special blasphemous runes have enhanced the effect of thaumaturgy and expanded the scope of application, but it still cannot create a magic potion that can last for a long time like a similar potion.

A potion that lasts for a long time.

In other words, Shard cannot make a profit through this.

[The effect of thaumaturgy can make a cat full with just one lick, which is also related to your divine afterglow state.]

The woman in her heart whispered in her ear, and Shade nodded:

"This is also very good. Although it is not an attack-type ability, at least the survivability has been greatly enhanced. For attack-type abilities, the moonlight is enough for the time being."

With a smile on his face, he happily picked up the cat that was still hiccupping. The bad-tempered cat immediately gave Shade a paw, but it knew how to control it, so it didn't even leave a white mark on the back of his hand.

On Wednesday morning, because they were too full from drinking water last night, both Shade and little Mia couldn't eat breakfast. Even with their favorite goat's milk, the orange cat still took a few licks and left the table. But Shade didn't this morning.

He received two more bottles of milk because the milk Detective Sparrow ordered from the Silver Parrot Milk Delivery Company has expired. If he still wants to drink it, he needs to order it from the milk company himself.

The news in newspapers is still not interesting.

There have been no reports of the weekend's earthquake in the south of the city, and now newspaper front pages are reporting that Queen Diana will attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony next week to open the east concourse of Tobesk station.

In the advertising area at the back of the Tobesk Daily News, there were several wanted posters for Ridwich Field. This also reminded Shade of the firm's advertisements, and he planned to put them in the advertising area the next time he saw Miss Louisa.

She wants some advice.

"If it's a newspaper that Miss Louisa is familiar with, maybe we can get a discount on the advertising fee."

He actually had this idea.

After the big incident in Lakeview Manor, life seemed to have suddenly returned to peaceful daily life. Illegal organizations were lurking, and the focus of the Righteous God Church was not the "masked man under the silver moon". Probably, in the past few weeks, Tobesk was finally able to

A little calmer.

This also made Shade very relaxed, and the tense days were uncomfortable. In this steam era, he was actually more willing to see more, rather than always fighting with others to death.

Not long after breakfast, someone came to visit.

The first person who came to the detective office was Baron Lavender, a Rhodes card enthusiast. The target was of course the [Ancient Fairy Tale·Match Girl].
