Chapter 135 asks, "Did you secretly add points behind my back?"
"Dragon egg."
The cloaked man spoke calmly. Although he tried to lower his tone and voice, he couldn't hide his smugness and boastfulness.
"It's actually Ryuichi!"
"Shut up, you bastard!!"
Just as Aqua instinctively screamed, Kazuma Sato quickly covered her mouth, leaving the idiot goddess only able to whimper. Darkness and Megumin also stared in astonishment at the dragon egg on the table, their mouths slightly open, unable to utter a word.
Only Charlotte furrowed her brow slightly.
To be honest, it's a bit tricky.
If you ask Charlotte if he wants a dragon egg, the answer is a resounding yes. However, many questions remain. For example, how would he, with no experience, raise a dragon? What kind of dragon would it be? Or, is it even a dragon egg?
His mind was a bit confused.
But no matter what, we absolutely have to buy this dragon egg!
Don't be fooled by the fact that dragons are portrayed as lambs to the slaughter in adventurer stories. Whether it's Mikami Hibiki or Alice, even the bunch of grapes on her head could take on a dragon single-handedly. This doesn't mean dragons are weak; it's just that they're incredibly powerful.
Having witnessed the power of dragons on his way to the capital, Charlotte was not so arrogant as to become overconfident.
"What, even the renowned Undying Priest doesn't dare to accept it?"
"—An Undying Priest?"
"Don't you know that this is your title, and it has already spread throughout the kingdom?"
I remember it was the Death Priest, wasn't it?
Charlotte thought that the immortal priest probably believed that no matter how much damage he suffered, as long as he didn't die, he could perfectly recover.
But that's not important.
Charlotte looked at the cloaked man and said meaningfully, "It seems you know me and came here specifically to find me?"
"certainly."
The cloaked man said it quite frankly.
It seems that even if Charlotte hadn't posted a notice, the cloaked man would still have come looking for her.
Dragon—a dragon?
"Wait a moment." Charlotte thought of someone and looked around for them. His actions puzzled and confused Sato Kazuma, who asked in a low voice, "Who are you looking for?"
"Where is Dust? Where did he go?"
"—Although I don't know what you want with him, you haven't forgotten that he's in jail right now, have you?"
"ah."
Charlotte remembered her meeting with Duster when she was in prison.
I couldn't help but click my tongue softly.
I thought I could finally put that carefree dragon knight to good use, but he turned out to be so unreliable. I'm speechless.
"Alright, just give me a straight answer. If you don't want it, I'll have to take it to the auction house."
"----I want."
As the cloaked man made to put the dragon egg away, Charlotte stopped him with her hand and slowly spoke. Just moments before, Megumin had whispered to him that the egg contained immense magical power and seemed extraordinary.
The eyes of the Crimson Demons are truly convenient.
Thanks to this, Charlotte dared to make a decision, because even if it wasn't a dragon egg, it was definitely some other kind of egg, so at least he wouldn't lose too much.
"Then, name your price."
That's what Charlotte said.
The cloaked man didn't speak; he looked at Sato Kazuma and the others, his meaning quite clear.
Kazuma Sato clearly understood what the other person meant. He stood up and said, "By the way, Aqua, let's go buy the ingredients for dinner."
"No, I want to see this dragon egg!"
"Then I'll go with you to the streets to accept believers."
"Can we talk about that later? Kazuma, you really can't read the room. This is such a crucial moment."
"Are you the one who can't read the room?! Enough! You're just getting in the way. Come with me!"
He was speechless at the idiot goddess's inability to read the room, and forcibly grabbed Aqua's ribbon in an attempt to take her away, but Aqua clung tightly to the table and refused to leave, resulting in a stalemate.
"Alright, alright, no need for all that trouble." Charlotte stopped them, then said to the cloaked man, "They are my—friends, very good friends. I trust them, so it's fine."
"Friends?" The cloaked man sounded slightly surprised. He thought they were companions. After all, in this world, companions are people you can rely on. Their relationship was clearly that of companions, but Charlotte insisted that they were friends.
Whatever.
The cloaked man shook his head vigorously and said, "I hope to sell it for 1 million."
"5000W."
"—Impossible! This is a dragon egg! Our team went through so much trouble to break into the dragon's lair and retrieve it!"
"First, I can't confirm whether this is actually a dragon egg. After all, I'm not a professional, and the professionals are currently in jail. Second, your current attire and reluctance to reveal your true identity make me very uneasy. This is a one-off deal; a wrong purchase would be a huge loss. Finally, you're supposed to be an adventurer, but your weapon is just an ordinary short sword. Therefore, it's more like stealing than taking. Am I right? Also, you said you were going to auction the egg but brought it here, which fits my earlier guess—speaking of which, I suddenly remembered the dragon riots a while ago; I wonder if it's related to this dragon egg—sorry, based on all of the above, I can only offer 4500 million now."
"Wait, it was 5000 million just now!"
"5000 million, sold."
With just a few words, the cloaked man revealed his trump card—this egg, whether it was a dragon egg or not, was not obtained through legitimate channels and could not withstand scrutiny.
Charlotte offered a maximum price of 5000 million, stating that if he was willing to sell, he could, but if not, Charlotte would not increase the price; the decision rested with the cloaked man.
The cloaked man remained silent for a long time before finally agreeing to sell the egg for 5000 million Eris.
Charlotte readily paid.
After everything was over, Charlotte thought he would be praised by Sato Kazuma and the others, or that he would be captivated by the dragon egg, but unexpectedly—
"Wait a minute!" Aqua grabbed his shoulder, her eyes wide with disbelief, and exclaimed, "Charlotte, tell me! Did you secretly add points to your stats behind my back?! Your intelligence is nowhere near mine!"
"Feed————"
The Goddess of Idiots has had the highest attribute values since the lower realm. In other words, no matter how high her level increases, her attribute values will not increase at all. Seeing that Charlotte is so smart, she actually suspects that he secretly added points.
Kazuma Sato went even further.
"You're not Charlotte, who are you?! — Never mind, that doesn't matter. Whoever you are, don't leave now. Come on, follow me to the counter to change your class. Charlotte's biggest wish in this life is to become a Grand Magister, and you've come at the perfect time!"
This guy—
If you say he's going too far, he's thinking that your biggest wish is to become a Grand Magus; if you say he's not going too far, he's subtly implying that Charlotte isn't like him.
That's enough.
"Stop messing around!" Charlotte slapped their hands away, rolling her eyes as she explained, "I didn't secretly add any points, nor was I secretly possessed by anyone—besides, even if I were possessed, it wouldn't change my attribute values, okay? Have you forgotten Darkness?"
"But didn't her attack hit?"
"That's different. Who made Darkness a perverted monster?"
"Varied----!?"
Darkness, caught in the crossfire, immediately collapsed onto the table, her face buried in her arms, her shoulders trembling as if she were sobbing.
"Sorry, Darkness, I shouldn't have gone so far. You—hey, you're not secretly laughing, are you?"
"I...I didn't—hehe—"
Darkness wasn't hurt; in fact, she was happy to be scolded. She's truly hopeless.
