Yanzy, who went to the desk, seemed to be writing something, as he ruthlessly crumpled a bunch of paper with his hands.
Right after that, the paper disappeared with a rustle.
[Hiik!]While Greed screamed in fright, I looked at the scene with interest.
Tremendous talent…!
He wasn’t just a talent in this world. If Yanzy existed, it would significantly reduce Earth’s environmental pollution.
It was regrettable that a person who should contribute to solving global warming was here.
‘Burn Yanzy Ferdia as Earth’s garbage disposal!’
It was at that moment when I was having this absurd imagination.
Leaning forward, Yanzy, who was asking me, said, “Lily? Why are you looking at me like that?”
Awkwardly, I smiled, pulling my head back.
“Just amazed at it again.”
“Is this the first time you’ve heard that my ability is amazing?”
Fortunately, Yanzy didn’t seem uncomfortable. I hesitated for a moment under his gaze, which seemed to ask for an explanation, and then spoke.
“To be honest… It might feel a bit awkward.”
“What do you mean?”
“If I have that ability… It could be scary. I might accidentally erase something unintentional.”
“…….”
Facing Yanzy’s expressionless face and his scrutinizing gaze, I quickly clapped my hands.
It was my mistake. Even if Yanzy thinks that way, it’s different to hear it from someone else.
“If it bothered you, I’m sorry. I’m not ignoring your ability, Brother.”
“No. I didn’t feel anything, Lily.”
Poking my cheek with his index finger, Yanzy laughed and sat down across from me.
“So, what brings you here?”
“This. I brought it as a gift for Brother.”
I quickly pushed the box that had been sitting on my knees toward Yanzy.
Yanzy, who had been running his fingers over the surface of the box, opened the lid after a while.
Yanzy grinned and examined the magical tool.
“Oh, this is the magical tool invested by an unknown investor named ‘Lily Arsel,’ right?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“I heard it’s hard to get. How did you manage to acquire it?”
“I’ve been interested in magic lately, so I often went to the magic tower and luckily got it.”
I smoothly provided the excuse I had prepared in advance. However…
“Oh, luckily?”
What’s this? I couldn’t understand the meaning of this ambiguous reaction.
When I looked at Yanzy with a puzzled expression, he laughed as if to say, ‘When did that happen?’
“I happened to want it. Thanks, Lily. I’ll make good use of it.”
“I’m glad you wanted it.”
“More than that, it’s more meaningful that Lily gave it to me.”
Was he talking about the usual family talk? I just awkwardly smiled.
When Yanzy, who was closely examining the magical tool, asked in a subdued voice, “So, can I contact you every day with this?”
“What?”
Every day?
“How many times a day?”
“Well, um…”
“Twice?”
“That’s a bit…”
“Is once too difficult?”
“I guess so?”
We’re not close enough to contact each other every day.
I wanted to say that, but Yanzy’s smiling face was a bit scary, and I couldn’t bring myself to say it out loud.
‘I want to snatch it away.’
A strong urge to confiscate it arose.
I didn’t expect him to contact me.
Anyway, excluding that issue, today’s gift operation and gaining favor seemed to be a success.
I felt proud at the thought of getting one step closer to a smooth independence.
After a long time, I went shopping to spend the allowance allocated to me. First, I took the three bodyguards with me, plundered a restaurant, and came out.
Urania patted her filled belly with satisfaction.
“Wow, I’m full. It was really delicious, Lily!”
“Aren’t you eating too little? You can have more if you want.”
“If I ate more, my stomach would burst and I’d die.”
Then, Greed, sealed in a gem, spoke up.
[Even if my stomach bursts… I don’t want to know…]
‘Even if you say it, Urania won’t hear it anyway.’
Urania, who was smiling happily, suddenly shifted her gaze and glared at the remaining two bodyguards, Stephan and Mirhe.
“These two should thank me. It was originally a date with Lily, but I let them join.”
“You can go again later, just the two of you.”
“Oh my, it seems like I’ve fallen for Lily again.”
When Urania shyly said that, Stephan, who was beside her, pretended to retch.
“Ugh. You guys are playing around.”
Urania approached Stephan with a clenched fist. Stephan, in turn, hid behind Mirhe.
“Save me, Mirhe!”
“Too bothersome…”
Watching the three of them, I chuckled.
‘They make quite a good trio.’
I envied the existence that could treat each other so casually.
While we were strolling and chatting like that,
“Hey, look over there. It’s Lady Ferdia.”
“Really? Did you read that article too?”
“Of course. About the First Prince being disintegrated?”
Ripple, ripple. The surroundings became noisy in an instant.
Similarly, the ladies from the noble district, who seemed to have come out for shopping, gathered together and glanced at me.
The tall Urania blocked their view with her body.
“Our Lily. You’re really popular.”
“If gossip is popularity, then maybe it is…”
“Actually, I read the article too. They said Lily defeated the First Prince with a ‘pew pew’ sound, right?”
Due to Adenmir’s impromptu actions, the rumor that I had defeated the First Prince had become a fact.
It looked strange for me to deny something Adenmir admitted, so I just shrugged.
“Now, where should we go?”
It was still bright to go home.
To Stephan’s question, I hesitated for a moment and then decided on our destination.
“Let’s go to the auction house.”
It had been a considerable amount of time since I last used the power of Greed. Since then, I hadn’t used my ability.
Moreover, even if I could use the ability once a week for only three seconds, I thought it would be a waste not to try it again.
[It’s been a while since I took the stage!]It was at that moment, as I listened to Greed’s excited voice, that we headed to the auction house.
“Hey, look over there. It’s Lady Ferdia.”
“Really? Did you read that article too?”
“Of course. About the First Prince being disintegrated?”
Ripple, ripple. The surroundings became noisy in an instant.
Similarly, the ladies from the noble district, who seemed to have come out for shopping, gathered together and glanced at me.
The tall Urania blocked their view with her body.
“I was shopping.”
“Oh, shopping is nice. How about it? I’d like to accompany you. Since it turned out this way, I want to give you jewelry that resembles the beautiful eye color of the lady.”
‘Oh-ho…’
Suddenly, a fantastic idea came to mind. When I looked up at Beltran with a bright smile, he trembled for a moment.
“A gift? You don’t have to go to such trouble, Your Highness.”
“It’s not troublesome at all.”
“Really? Then, what can you give me as a gift?”
As I looked at him with the meaning of ‘Can you really do that?’ Beltran, perhaps offended in his pride, thumped his chest and confidently declared,
“How do you see me, lady? Just say it. I’ll give you anything as a gift!”
Is that so?
‘You fell for it, you rascal.’
Today, I’ll empty your wallet!

The demon lord’s eyes were red with fury:
“This is all your doing! Today, I won’t rest until I kill you!”
Yu Wu rubbed her temples. Putting aside the taboo against bloodshed during pregnancy, wasn’t it this very man who willingly walked into her trap that day?!
