My, cheating...

 The girl slowly closed her eyes.

 -

 "Um... w-what's going on?"

 Compared to Altria Caster's shyness and evasion, Bawan Xi, who also changed into new clothes, seemed much more outgoing.

 Bavan Xi was seen showing off her figure in front of the full-length mirror without any scruples, while Altria Caster had red cheeks and was hiding timidly in the corner, asking Fujimaru Ritsuka and the girl in a low voice.

 "Sure enough, this kind of gorgeous clothing is only worth looking at from a distance, or at most touching. When I put it on, it's still..."

 “I think it’s pretty good…”

 The girl put her arms in her tucked arms and spoke softly. Then she looked up and down for a moment, took a blue hairpin from the shelf beside her, and then reached out and pinned the hairpin on Altria Caster's head.

 "Ritsuka...what do you think?"

 "Very good, it suits Altria very well. It's not inferior to those so-called upper-class fairies at all."

 "Is this, like this?"

 Altria Caster replied with a blushing face.

 "Of course, I'm very confident about my clothing matching!"

 With the sound of high heels hitting the ground, Bawan Xi slowly walked over with a smug look on her face.

 "Just consider it a meeting gift. I'll pay for your dress."

 "Eh? Um! I! I have money, so that..."

 Looking at Altria Caster, who suddenly became confused and even began to speak incoherently for some reason, Bawan Xi looked at the girl in confusion.

 Shaking her head helplessly, the girl clapped her hands slowly.

 "It's no problem, right? Just accept it, Custer. Think of it as repaying my favor. Go ahead and take it."

 "Is that so? Thank you so much!"

 Exhaling slightly, Bawan Xi looked towards the girl again.

 "Speaking of which, have you decided what gift to buy? As a friend and colleague, I can give you some suggestions."

 The girl smiled and shook her head to decline Bawan Shi's kindness.

 "To be honest, I haven't really thought about it. I appreciate your kindness, but I still want to go shopping on my own first."

 "Is that so... Then let's do this. Then we'll meet at Marian's auction house."

 Bawan Xi waved her hand and walked slowly towards the counter.

 The moment he took a step forward, he seemed to have thought of something and immediately retracted it and leaned close to the girl's ear.

 "I

 Don't tell mother about your secret escape."

 Seeing the girl nod obediently, Bawan Xi turned around completely and walked slowly towards the counter.

 As night fell, the stars kept twinkling in the sky. Gloucester, which was completely different from the atmosphere during the day, slowly emerged before everyone's eyes.

 Buildings of various styles and flashing lights make it look like another city.

 Fujimaru Ritsuka also finished shopping with Altria Custer and led the girl to the designated location to wait for Da Vinci and Oberon to arrive...

 "That's little Sieg... Yeah, judging by his appearance, it's no wonder I made that comment..."

 Da Vinci, on roller skates, kept circling around the girl, and comments kept popping out of his mouth like mushrooms after rain.

 "A smaller Leonardo da Vinci?"

 "This..."

 Ritsuka Fujimaru briefly explained what happened before the first Lostbelt.

 "Feel sorry..."

 Ritsuka Fujimaru waved his hand after hearing the girl's apology.

 It is great to have someone to rely on, but if you rely on others for everything, then things will be very bad.

 There will always be losses on the road to progress, and they have long been aware that the winners will have to step on the losers to move forward.

 Sadness cannot be avoided, but it can be minimized.

 Live in the present and face the future, this is what they have to face next.

 "It's okay, this isn't Sieg's problem..."

 As Fujimaru Ritsuka spoke, he changed the topic from these sad parts.

 Don't tear off the scab on the wound, because you don't know whether it is a healed scar or a wound that is still bleeding.

 "We've got the invitation ticket, what about Auberon's?"

 "Hmm? A gift voucher? Ah... Of course I have something like that. What's the matter?"

 Oberon, who had always been talkative, remained silent for a rare moment, immersed in his own world, and was then brought back to reality by Fujimaru Ritsuka's words.

 "Well, as expected of Oberon, he's impeccable..."

 Ritsuka Fujimaru nodded and looked at Altria Caster helplessly.

 "Let's save Altria's magic trick for next time."

 Altria Caster still maintained a silent smile, and her facial expression did not change at all from beginning to end.

 What a powerful expression management——

 In fact, it is almost like losing your dream.

 After all, no matter who you are, sometimes you want to show off a little bit in front of the people you care about, right?

 "And it looks like the formal wear issue has been resolved..."

 Oberon looked Altria Custer up and down and nodded.

 "But we still have a problem."

 Auberon's tone gradually became serious.

 "The auction has already begun. The most popular item, the so-called Child of Prophecy, will definitely be the last one to be released. Our current budget is only 70 million, and all the money is counterfeit..."

 "that--"

 Altria Caster raised her hand as if coming to her senses.

 "I still have 500 million here that I can use... to..."

 Altria Caster's voice became increasingly quiet, until it was completely inaudible.

 "Is it real money?"

 "It's true. This is what I gave to Custer. Although it may be a bit depressing to say this, money is one of the least scarce things for me..."

 Auberon lowered his head and remained silent for a moment, then suddenly knelt on one knee in front of the girl, his expression full of pleading.

 "Although this happened suddenly, could you lend me 100 million? Of course, I'll definitely return all the money I can't use. Although I promised Ritsuka and Altria to take the photo, I also have something I really want!"

 That was Shakespeare's own handwritten manuscript! Even after drifting, it was still perfectly preserved!

 "Of course... You can decide whether to pay back the money or not. I don't really care about it anyway..."

 A trace of cold sweat ran down the girl's cheek, and a cloth bag was casually thrown to Oberon.

 "Besides... let's go in quickly... the auction has already started, hasn't it?"

 -

 "Ladies and gentlemen gathered here, welcome to the Gloucester Auction!"

 "Rather than yearning for the fleeting dreams of tomorrow, why not experience the fleeting dreams within reach? Rather than worrying about clan pride, why not realize your own value here?"

 As the host's voice became louder and louder, the atmosphere on the scene began to become more and more intense.

 Cheers and shouts continuously emanated from the auction booth.

 But fortunately, the VIP room

 Sound insulation

 Very good, the thunderous and enthusiastic atmosphere outside has been basically completely blocked, and the host's words have been transferred into the box through a special way.

 "To cater to your wishes, we have specially prepared a lot of goods today!"

 Looking at the auction catalogue decorated with gold and silver plating in her hand, the girl rubbed one of her temples with her fingers.

 Through the glass of the window, the entire venue is in sight.

 Gently closing her eyes, the girl fell into her own world.

 I have already looked at the catalogue.

 There was nothing that interested him, not even anything that might interest Jian and his sister.

 After all, it's all for that last item...

 Just wait quietly in the meantime...

 Visions of flames began to appear before his eyes, and the ground beneath his feet began to melt, then turned into a scorching golden ocean.

 The surface of the entire world began to melt, and a storm of flames mixed with violent particles continued to blow.

 The scorching wind is sometimes gentle, sometimes violent, with no pattern of change at all. It seems as if everything is happening at will in this world.

 but--

 One thing is for sure.

 Once these storms come to you, they will become gentle in an instant.

 As if afraid of scaring or disturbing herself, she brushed her cheek very gently.

 "Well, now it's time to introduce the last item in this auction."

 "The hottest topic yet, the rebels who threaten our Queen, and the Victory Son who made a promise to the noble Ainsel to "save the people of Britain"!"

 As the host stirred up the atmosphere, the huge commodity covered by the red curtain was slowly pushed over by the staff, and the sound of iron chains colliding and rubbing could be faintly heard.

 "He attacked Camelot with unprecedented iron weapons! He fell into a cave, yet still managed to climb out and return alive from the Nameless Forest. A true hero! Whether the prophecy is correct or not, it will be up to you to discern with your own proud eyes!"

 The girl slowly opened her eyes and looked straight at the audience. A glimmer of light flashed in her scarlet dragon pupils.

 "Serial number! Final! Child of prophecy!"

 When the curtain was drawn back, the red-haired "Son of Prophecy" imprisoned in an iron cage and chains, with a look of "nothing to say", came into everyone's sight.

 "what?"

 "Eh!?"

 “Isn’t this grandpa!?”

 The exclamations of Altria Caster, Da Vinci, and Fujimaru Ritsuka were transmitted to the ears of the "Child of Prophecy" through the sound transmission device.

 "Oh! It's Grandpa. I'm so sorry! Who dares to call me Grandpa?"

 Fairyland: Twenty-Seven: Revenge Failed

 "Oh! It's Grandpa. I'm so sorry! Who dares to call me Grandpa?"

 Along with the slightly angry voice of the red-haired "Son of Prophecy", the iron chains used for restraint were constantly pulled, making a "clacking" friction sound, and the special iron cage was constantly hit by the other party's struggling movements.

 The buyers on the stage were also frightened by the fierce look and rude tone and started talking about it.

 Grandpa?

 The girl blinked blankly, looking at the red-haired man in the audience with a puzzled look, and the image of Machili Zorgen slowly emerged in her mind.
