The Author's POV

Chapter 156

"...Amanda?

Staring at me, Amanda nodded her head and politely greeted me.

"mhm, hello"

Glancing at her from the side as I was still holding onto a stack of books, I lightly said

"What a coincidence, what brings you here?"

As I spoke, frowning slightly, I took a good look around me and suddenly realized what the problem with my sentence was. Right, how could I forget? This was a bookstore moreover it was close to the Academy.

Taking into account Amanda's personality and the fact that she loved reading books, chances of meeting her here weren't that low.

Lifting her left hand, Amanda flashed a blue book in front of me and said

"I'm here to buy books"

Nodding my head in understanding, I softly mumbled

"Right, you do like books after all"

Tilting her head to the side allowing for her hair to gently brush past her shoulders, Amanda's brows furrowed slightly as she asked.

"How do you know?"

Hearing her question, I froze for a split second. Fortunately, this only lasted for a short moment as I was able to quickly recompose myself before calmly responding.

"...it's because whenever I see you in the morning, you're always reading a book"

"I see..."

Hearing my explanation, Amanda's frown lessened and thereafter she nodded in understanding. It was true, she was always reading books in the morning, I guess it wasn't strange for someone to know that she liked reading books.

"Yeah..."

Seeing that Amanda had bought my explanation, I secretly sighed in relief. Fortunately, I didn't panic due to my slip-up as I was somehow able to retain my composure.

Though I do have to say that my composure has been getting better and better with each passing day that I was in this world.

Now I didn't panic as much as I used to...and even when I panicked, my brain wouldn't suddenly turn blank like before.

Staring at the large pile of books in my hand and looking at some of the titles printed on the sides, Amanda softly said

"Are you buying school materials?"

Hearing her question, I calmly nodded my head.

"Yeah...Yes, I am. With the new semester starting, I naturally need to buy the corresponding books for the upcoming classes. As you probably know, I'm not very good at studying"

"I understand..."

Nodding her head in understanding, Amanda soon noticed a strange book on top of the piles of books in my hands and curiously asked

"What's that book"

Staring in the direction of where she was looking at, I soon saw that it was the book I was just looking at moments before, [48 laws of power].

"This one? Just a book I casually picked up after buying the school materials-"

"Meow"

As I was speaking, cutting me mid-sentence was a meowing sound that came from the back of my hoodie.

Hearing Angelica's meow, staring at Amanda, my mouth slightly twitched. Thereafter, peeking from my hoodie, Angelica appeared before Amanda.

Ignoring Amanda and licking her right paw, Angelica's voice entered my mind.

[Human, hurry up]

Suddenly hearing Angelica's voice inside of my mind, I couldn't help but be stunned as I involuntarily gasped out loud.

"Huh?"

Noticing my strange reaction, Amanda looked at me in confusion.
