Vine’s story continued.

When word got out that the mysterious woman and I had attended the party together as partners, Fran and Rebecca couldn’t hide their excitement.

“A mysterious woman and a party leader?!”

“This is absolutely perfect!”

It was a party attached to a VVIP auction house, but rather than talking about that part, I only said that I attended the party with a mysterious woman, making it more difficult to make an excuse.

“Suhan..? Were two people not enough? Do you really need to wash the side so that the baby doesn’t spill it?”

Baine’s expression was full of mischief, so it seemed like he wasn’t taking it seriously even when everyone was making a fuss, but Rebecca seemed to be a little offended when I heard that she was attending the party as a partner, so she glared at me with sincerity.

“… “It’s not like that.”

I don’t know if Baine was making fun of me or the kids, but he was so excited that he didn’t stop talking.

“He had shaved off his bangs and was even wearing a suit. If you guys had seen it, you would have gone crazy. “He was a gentleman himself.”

“He’s dressed like that?! “You’ve never shown it to me!”

Rebecca became even more excited.

“yes. I almost didn’t recognize it at first. “But I was so familiar with it that I looked at it carefully, and the voice was exactly that of the boss.”

“Wow~! Uncle, are you still going? But it’s also really amazing that the two of you met.”

“I was lucky.”

Rebecca and Fran glanced at me and seemed to imagine me in a suit.

“I’ve never seen him shave his head.”

“Well, you’re dressed up nicely… . “I can’t imagine something.”

Anyway, it’s a bit hard to imagine.

“What can I say, it felt strange to feel unfamiliar from a familiar person.”

“It’s strange. “Do you look good when you dress up?”

“It wasn’t bad.”

“I miss you too!”

I knew that Ariando, who was amazing at execution, would get tired if he started, so I decided to stop him quickly.

“I’ve already decorated it enough. This is it. “There is nothing like the picture you are imagining.”

It seems like people think that if I dress up, I’ll become a prince in a fairy tale, but that’s a ridiculous illusion.

“What are you decorating? The hair is clean because it was originally cut, and the clothes are! Clothes… “You wore something neat.”

“Look. Nothing much has changed between then and now. “He was just making a fuss.”

With a stern look in his eyes, he told Baine not to say anything unnecessary.

Baine thought about whether his mouth was itchy, but decided to skip that issue and brought up a new topic.

“Aren’t you curious about who the woman who was your partner was?”

“Huh! right! “This is what’s really important.”

“curious!! let me know! let me know!!”

“Is this someone we know?”

“Whoa… . “I am ready to humbly accept whoever comes forward.”

“hey! You can’t humbly accept this! “We need to crack down more thoroughly in the future.”

Fran takes a deep breath and Rebecca’s gaze becomes increasingly fierce.

In other words, there is no such thing as a mess.

After pausing for a while, Baine finally opens his mouth in a meaningful way.

“Erintina. “This is the woman who said she would come as an academy teacher next year.”

“!!!!!!”

“Someone who was very pretty?!”

“Wow, man, this is amazing. Why are your skills so good?”

A huge reaction erupts.

In their minds, it seemed like I was Casanova who had already captured Erintina.

“I went there to get money for something. “Don’t make strange misunderstandings for no reason.”

“You’re going to a party to get money for something? Don’t make ridiculous excuses! “There’s no reason to go to a party when you can just exchange things.”

“You bastard! “Any pretty girl is good!”

Rebecca grabs my collar and shakes it.

I’m already so strong that my body swings around.

Clap clap clap!

“yes! Good job! “I feel refreshed inside!”

“I told you it wasn’t like that…Ugh! Vine!! “Stop joking around and explain properly.”

Baine giggles and laughs, and then he finally confesses, probably enjoying it all.

“Actually, what the boss said is correct. “The auction house will be held before the party.”

“Really? “Aren’t you just lying to me for no reason?”

Rebecca, who was shaking me by the collar, asked suspiciously, and Bain told me the real truth, saying no.

Only then did Rebecca feel that what I was saying was true, and her hands slowly relaxed.

I thought to myself when I saw that.

I hope today is the last time I suffer like this.

But somehow, I felt like this was just the beginning.

When you travel, you will have a much more hectic time than this.

I felt a little unhappy today.

⁂ ⁂ ⁂

“I’m glad to be able to deliver good news.”

The reason I didn’t stop Baine even though I knew he was playing a practical joke was because I knew he had never pulled a prank like that before.

Vine has never had the experience of playing openly with children her own age.

The closer you become to children, the more emotional stability you will develop.

And that was beneficial to me as I had to solve Baine’s scenario in the future.

“I knew it would end up like this, but I’m still happy to get the results. Thank you for the opportunity.”

“Actually, the conclusion was made a long time ago, but the results made so little sense that it took a long time to re-verify.”

“Re-verification?”

“okay. “They saw that your product was of such high quality that they suspected that you had manipulated the results.”

Commander Thalia frowned disapprovingly.

And at the same time, Baine opened his mouth.

“mother. “You’re cutting plates too.”

“this.”

The employee takes the cut plate and sets down a new steak plate as if he is used to it.

“You acted tactfully for no reason.”

“no. Please feel free to speak. That’s much better for me too.”

“Boss, please have some of this too.”

“thanks.”

Baine smiled and recommended food.

Even at parties, Vine is good at recommending foods that suit my taste.

You may have guessed it by now, but the place I am now is the villa where Commander Thalia is temporarily staying.

Commander Thalia had to call me and visit me urgently.

Of course, it is not the same situation as Ariando.

Commander Thalia tended to like me.

‘You made two unexpected home visits in one week.’

The reason Commander Thalia called me was to let me know and congratulate me once again on the fact that I was designated as a supplier.

“I thought it was great in that respect. They deliver such quality that one suspects tampering! Plus, the defect rate was 0%, 0%! I couldn’t believe this part either. “I could clearly see where the confident attitude you showed came from.”

“I didn’t say I wanted to introduce you for nothing. “Sir, your items will be of great help to the military.”

“But there are some issues that need to be checked if you become a formal partner with us.”

“A problem that needs to be checked? “Please tell me.”

It’s roughly as expected.

He’s probably trying to inquire about the source of the goods I delivered.

I was thinking that this problem was bound to arise someday.

“I’m embarrassed to say it out loud, but I think I need to reveal the source of the item.”

Even before receiving the goods from me, Commander Thalia said she would turn a blind eye to the source of the goods.

With her power, it was entirely possible, assuming she could obtain quality goods.

However, things change when you officially become a supplier.

Even if she were to continue spending the military’s money, she couldn’t leave doubts about its source.

That could become a ‘weakness’ later on.

“I think I should tell you why my item is special here.”

“What makes yours special?”

“Yes, and the reason why I couldn’t reveal the exact source is the same.”

“Interesting.”

Commander Thalia cut the steak into large pieces and put it in her mouth, showing interest.

“My abilities are different from others.”

“Not all types of this ability have been revealed yet. “You can be born with special abilities than others.”

“you’re right. “There are many abilities that have not yet been revealed.”

“Can you tell me what kind of ability it is? Of course, we will never transfer your personal information anywhere else. ah! “Everyone, get out before then.”

This ability is still being actively researched here.

Since it was extremely private personal information, I had to be cautious about asking about this ability.

Especially in the case of unusual abilities like mine.

Commander Thalia fired all the employees who had been serving her.

The only people left are Commander Thalia, Baine, and me.

I had a new feeling because I didn’t know that these two people would be the first people to talk about this.

“hmm… “I can convert monster by-products into intangible values and summon consumables.”

“!!!”

“!!!”

Even if you tell them about the store window in detail, they will not understand it right away.

Rather, it will be easier for them to understand if you decorate it at a level they can understand.

Was it an unexpected ability?

The two people were startled and their eyes widened.

“So, you received monster by-products as payment for the goods!”

“It’s fascinating. “It’s my first time hearing such an ability.”

“I have never seen anyone with abilities similar to mine.”

When I was a mercenary, I thought about all sorts of things.

So, I once thought that I might not be the only one who got into this game.

Isn’t the store window being updated consistently, albeit slowly?

It was hard to believe that they kept updating just for me.

But so far, there hasn’t been a single person who seems to be in a similar situation to me.

There wasn’t even the slightest doubt.

So I completely put aside my doubts.

“It makes my heart pound that there is this ability that humanity has yet to discover. It’s an ability you can’t even imagine. “It would have been nice if I had known earlier that I had such a valuable ability, but why did I hide it until now?”

“It hasn’t been long since I gained the ability.”

I was a little nervous because I could have said something didn’t make sense in this part.

However, Commander Thalia showed a cooler attitude than expected, showing that it was quite possible.

“ah… Was it so? “It seems like the awakening time was different because the ability was unique.”

Commander Thalia licked her lips with regret.
