Mage Manual Chapter 239 - 239 207 Twenty-Sided Dice

Chapter 239: Chapter 207: Twenty-Sided Dice Chapter 239: Chapter 207: Twenty-Sided Dice At 8 p.m., Hanna ca ho and found that the living room was empty and even the lights were off. Only a few chanical spiders responsible for cleaning scurried about, hastily retreating to their nests to charge upon hearing footsteps.

“Banjee?”

Hanna called out, to no reply at all.

Since her birth, Banjee had always been there to take care of her. Besides that eternally youthful and delicate face which inspired jealousy with just a glance, in all other respects Banjee had perfectly executed the duties of a housekeeper, never neglecting his responsibilities.

She had specifically left Banjee at ho to watch over the new staff mbers. Where could he be?

A hint of alertness rose in Hanna’s heart—could it be that those people had a way to dismantle the Contract Paper Weaving and had secretly escaped the control of the contract, with Banjee caught off guard and hard by them?

She took off her boots and, wearing silk stockings, stepped on the wooden floor without making a sound, her hand clutching the Miracle Technique, searching for traces throughout the house.

Soon, she noticed a light in the entertainnt room and, as she approached, she heard the voices of the new residents:

“Almost there, it’s almost finished!” That was Ash’s voice.

“Mine’s almost done, too.” There was excitent in Igula’s tone.

“ too…” Even Harvey’s voice, which usually sounded like a corpse speaking, had a hint of passion.

“Ugh… co on, I’m ready! Let’s put it together!”

Banjee was actually in there too!

And what on earth was this conversation!

What were you all combining together!

You’re all n, how could four of you combine together!

Don’t just manhandle Banjee because he’s cute!

“What are you doing—” Hanna gripped the technique, pushed open the door, and entered, ready to rescue the sullied Banjee.

Then she saw four adults and a kid assembling a ter-tall castle of Darkness building blocks.

Banjee, Harvey, Igula, Ash, and Liss all turned to look at Hanna, blinking. Banjee, who was in charge of assembling the middle part, imdiately stood up: “Miss, you’re back so early?”

“…Seriously, what are you doing?”

“Isn’t it obvious?” Ash spread his hands: “We’re assembling ‘Heavenly Curtain City’.”

Hanna certainly recognized the building block castle.

As a child, her father had bought many such intricate, high-end building block toys, several tis trying to involve Hanna in assembling the Heavenly Curtain City. But she had little interest in this sort of toy, so they ended up shelved in the entertainnt room. After Hanna beca the head of the Funeral Service Office at age twelve, she never entered the gaming room again.

“…so why did you suddenly get the urge to play with building blocks?”

Ash looked at Igula: “I saw Igula, young at heart, playing with blocks with Liss, which is why I pulled everyone to join in. I didn’t expect our manly iwa to have such a soft heart…”

Igula’s face turned red: “I only saw Liss playing for so long without figuring it out, and I couldn’t bear to watch, so I taught her how! Actually, I was about to leave, but then you, Ash, brought people over and got so into it, I stayed to look after your experience… ”

Ash cursed: “Bullshit, you were so harsh just now when you scolded for fitting the wrong pieces— is this what you call looking after my experience?”

“You lot can’t even understand the manual, stop accusing each other, you’re all useless.” Harvey said unkindly: “If it weren’t for you guys holding back, I’d have finished this castle long ago. Work like putting ‘shattered parts’ together to form ‘a whole’ I’ve done plenty of—this toy is just child’s play, back in the day I—”

Ash covered Liss’ ears: “No one here wants to hear your glorious stories!”

Hanna, utterly confused, asked, “So… you’ve just been playing with blocks until now?”

“Yes, Miss,” Banjee nodded slightly and pulled out his pocket watch: “I was about to… what, it’s already 8 o’clock!?”

“Speaking of which, it seems to have gotten dark outside…”

“No wonder I’m feeling a bit hungry, I thought I had digested my breakfast too quickly.”

“Daddy, I’m so hungry I can’t walk.”

“Let your Aunt Bokin carry you.” Ash retorted, then turned to look at the ‘Heavenly Curtain City’ behind them: “Should we take a picture to commorate this, since we’ve spent the whole day on it…”

Igula said coldly, “I’m not in the habit of keeping photographic records—”

Ash, thinking Igula was going to refuse, was about to mockingly point out that Igula was obviously the one most passionately involved, but then he heard Igula change tack, “But I have a clean record in the Kingdom of Gospel, so taking a picture should be fine.”

The cult leader blinked in surprise at the Swindler, who looked away, murmuring explanations to soone, “Plus, the castle is quite impressive…”

“Miss Hanna, may I trouble you?” Harvey took out a stick of cat grass smoke and put it in his mouth, unlit.

“Of course not.” Purple Moth summoned her Gospel Book, and then stretched out her index fingers and thumbs, forming a fra to capture all five of them with the Heavenly Curtain City inside.

The next second, the image appeared in her Gospel Book. She flipped it to show them, “This photo will also appear in your Gospel Books, and I suggest you could create an album in your Gospel Books to store important photos…”

“How could this photo be considered important?” Igula walked away quickly, with Ash pulling Liss along searching for sothing to fill their stomachs, Harvey headed to the balcony to light his smoke, while Banjee stayed behind last to say, “Miss, should I prepare you dinner?”
