[Seele]: Hahahaha—this is killing me. This thing is absolutely cursed.
[Hook]: Wow~~~ That looks super fun!
[Klee]: Klee wants one too!
[Trailblazer]: Hahahaha—hic!
[March 7th]: No, no, this song is way too catchy.
[Herta]: Not bad. This thing is worth three points.
[Sparkle]: Honest pricing, honest goods.
[Silver Wolf]: Why~~~ did I spend three points~~~ why~~~ did I get junk~~~~
[Firefly]: Calm down… you're scaring me.
[Serval]: Seeing what those two got, I suddenly feel much better.
[Lynx]: That's why not trading is the best choice.
[Ningguang]: A rather amusing little trinket. If it didn't cost points, I could accept it.
[Sampo]: Miss Ningguang, I've got a more advanced music box here. Interested?
[Ningguang]: Heh… do I look like someone who gets scammed?
[Sampo]: Buy two, get two free.
[Neuvillette]: That sounds rather reasonable.
[Xianyun]: It even comes with extras… this adeptus is somewhat interested.
[Clorinde]: ...…
[Navia]: ...
[March 7th]: Mora's useless to Sampo, right?
[Hu Tao]: I—I have use for it! We also have buy-one-get-one deals! Interested? We even have coupons~~~~!
[Neuvillette]: For what item?
[Hu Tao]: Coffins. Once purchased, we provide a fully immersive, three-dimensional burial experience. If you're not satisfied, we'll smash it and remake it immediately.
[Bronya]: What kind of thing is that???
[Herta]: You can test it in advance too?!
[Boothill]: What the hell, are people in your world all this wild?
[Arataki Itto]: If you manage to sell that, I'll eat a coffin upside down.
[Hu Tao]: Really?
[Arataki Itto]: Of course—an oni man never lies.
[Hu Tao]: I acknowledge that Idrila's beauty is unmatched in the world. Sir Argenti, interested?
[Argenti]: Lovely Miss Hu Tao, please do sell me one.
[Hu Tao]: Alright, begin your performance.
[Arataki Itto]: Uh—wait, I was speaking for the Blue Oni just now. I'm a Red Oni.
[Zhongli]: …Sigh.
Zhongli felt a headache coming on. These people really knew how to stir trouble, one after another.
And that Argenti fellow—he truly had no principles at all.
He even began wondering whether, if he ever joined a competition, simply shouting Argenti's name might get his opponents eliminated for him.
[Thoma]: Something's happening~~~ Gepard is about to buy!!!
At this moment, Valerius arrived at the final room.
Same pitch. Same expression.
Gepard fell into deep hesitation. This was yet another unknown item. He had already screwed Sunday over once—asking him to decide again was genuinely difficult.
"Mr. Sunday… what do you think? I'll listen to you this time."
In the end, he chose to follow Sunday's lead.
If you say buy, I won't object.
Sunday's face darkened.
Now you ask me? How the hell am I supposed to choose?
Judging from the previous trades, the item clearly wasn't worth it—but the temptation was there.
What if Valerius slipped up this time?
Troublesome.
Reason told Sunday to give up.
But another voice whispered relentlessly in his mind.
Gamble once. Just gamble once.
What if it works out?
After a long silence, Sunday finally looked at Gepard.
"I want to gamble… but the odds aren't good. What do you think?"
The question returned to Gepard.
Compared to Sunday, Gepard's choice was much simpler.
"I'll follow your decision."
He had already dragged Sunday down once. This time, he decided to trust him completely.
Sunday's intuition wasn't bad—what if?
Even if they lost, one screw-up each. Fair enough.
"…Alright."
With Gepard's support, Sunday turned to Valerius.
"Three points, right? We'll buy it."
"Alright."
The trade was completed.
Valerius took out two boxes and handed them over.
"Open them after I leave. It hurts too much to watch."
Hurts.
That word instantly made Sunday's heart race.
This thing actually hurt Valerius to give up.
In that moment, Sunday was convinced—
This had to be something incredible.
"Alright. So… when are you leaving?"
Translation: Don't open it in front of me—but why are you still standing here?
"I'm leaving, I'm leaving."
Rolling his eyes at Sunday, Valerius pushed his little cart out and shut the door.
The moment it closed, he leaned against it and pressed his ear to the surface.
🎵 Don't look at me, I'm just a little sheep~~~~
Green grass becomes extra fragrant because of me~~~~ 🎵
"Valerius, you f***—you f***—f***—f***—"
Sunday's breakdown echoed from inside.
"Heh."
Smiling smugly, Valerius finally headed back to his little room, filled with victorious satisfaction.
Not bad, not bad.
Another 12 points earned today.
Inside the room, after calming down a bit, Sunday looked at the toy in Gepard's hands.
"What about yours? What song does it play?"
"…Huh? You still want to listen?"
"We spent three points on it. Not listening would be a huge loss."
"…Alright."
With a helpless sigh, Gepard pressed the button.
🎵 Hibernation vacation has just ended,
I'm still a little confused~
Birds wake the forest above my head,
The spring air makes me feel so comfortable~ 🎵
🎵 Bear—BIG! 🎵
Pfft!
That single "Bear—BIG!" nearly sent Sunday straight to the afterlife.
He knew Valerius wasn't human—
he just hadn't expected him to be this inhuman.
