Overpowered Archmage Doesn’t Hide His Talent

89 – What Plan likes…. Me?

“Hmm…. In the end, we couldn’t talk even once.”

Treasurer of the Imperial Family. Rayleigh sipped champagne and quenched her throat. The face is full of regret.

“It’s also ambiguous to make a separate appointment.”

Then the finance clerk next to him opened his mouth.

“Treasurer, do it in moderation and let go of your lingering feelings. To be honest, asking questions is disgusting.”

“I’m just curious about the reason.”

The staff was furious at Rayleigh’s calm reply.

“You have to think about your face. Why did you suddenly grab onto it and hand over the gift from the imperial family to the knights department?

“You only ask why.”

Rayleigh calmed down his staff and took another sip of champagne. At this rate, it is likely that he will rise to drunkenness.

‘What is the reason?’

In fact, the Imperial Family also sent a small gift to the Faculty of Magic. It was because I was interested in flan.

However, Plan turned it all over to the Knights Faculty. Rayleigh wasn’t angry, he just wanted to hear what he thought.

Meanwhile, the employee ate a snack. Unexpectedly superb taste. Her shoulders tremble

The employee opened his mouth while chewing on the snack. Perhaps thanks to the sweetness, his expression had straightened a little.

“Everyone must be shocked. Actually, Plan from the Faculty of Magic is brother and sister with Scarlett, the Knight of Embers….”

“No one would be shocked to hear this news. How long did the confidentiality agreement with the press last?”

“Once the final round of the subjugation is over, the oath is over.”

“Who will benefit from that? Sister? Or younger brother?”

As Rayleigh muttered, at some point, her gaze reached Janet.

The leader of the Tianchuk, Janet, was guarding Scarlett’s side like a shadow, but she didn’t seem very happy.

“The commander of the Tianchuk seems to be in a bad mood.”

“Of course. Who the hell would love to hear the sound of a pet?”

“What…. That might not be wrong. Actually, we are no different from the imperial family’s pet dogs.”

“We are more like slaves. And in the first place, right words always make you feel worse, right?”

Tianchuk, Cheongun, etc…. There were always many Cadet Knights that the imperial family watched with interest.

However, it seems that Rayleigh’s attention is only directed to Plan, and the staff is curious about that.

“By the way, what do you think, Mr. Treasurer?”

Their eyes collide in midair.

“What?”

“The final round of the subjugation system. It’s so hot these days.”

All information is supposed to be gathered in the imperial family, and the story rotates quickly inside the imperial family.

The Sword Mating Festival, where abnormalities keep happening, is a hot topic even in the imperial family these days. So, the staff dared to ask this topic.

If you listen to the story of Rayleigh, who knows the flow of goods, you never know if you will get gold coins even while sleeping.

“… For a moment.”

Rayleigh’s gaze turned to the stairs. Just in time, Plan appeared from the stairs on the second floor.

It was a pity from the staff’s point of view. It was a chance to confirm Rayleigh’s foresight.

“After hearing that they are siblings, they look alike. Look at those red eyes…. It really feels like it’s on fire.”

The finance staff can’t take their eyes off Flan’s face.

Flann had a look that anyone would welcome, to the extent that it would be safe to say that his appearance itself was ‘social’. At least the finance staff thought so.

If it hadn’t been for magic, Judith would have proudly displayed this man.

Plan just happened to pass in front of the two, and Rayleigh caught him this time.

“Hey, flan.”

Flan stood tall.

“… What.”

A small but clear voice. Plan answered that.

Everyone around them pricked up their ears to hear their conversation. It was natural. One was the treasurer of the imperial family, and the other was a mage who talked a lot these days.

In addition, there was another element to be expected.

Plan doesn’t seem to know at all that Rayleigh is the treasurer of the imperial family, and she is naturally curious about how she will react.

“Did the Faculty of Magic not like the gift? I know he got some good stuff.”

“Yes. It was the worst.”

The expressions of those who were watching became dumbfounded.

“… !”

No matter who the opponent is, that’s the case. They watched Plan’s demeanor and the strange conversation between the two, holding their breath in amazement.

Actually, Rayleigh asked calmly.

“I see. So, what kind of things did the gift givers have to send? I am curious about that.”

“No need.”

Plan also answered calmly.

“All a wizard needs is time, and that’s not something anyone can give you as a gift.”

After that, he walked toward the exit of the social meeting hall. The sound of footsteps echoes steadily.

Surprise and doubt rose in everyone’s hearts.

You really don’t know who Rayleigh is?

Are you leaving the social club after this?

What are you going to do?

The finance staff next to me didn’t know what to do.

“Ashes, ashes, ashes, Mr. Treasurer. You don’t seem to have any idea who that bastard treasurer is? Ah, maybe it’s because the tie pin is unfashionable… ?”

Currently, the two neckties have pins that glow in the dark.

The third princess, who had made a fortune, returned it to the imperial family with joy, but she had no way to refuse it.

Flan’s shocking behavior and sudden exit, the social church began to burn wonderfully as firewood.

“All you need is time….”

And Rayleigh gave a subtle smile.

Late night.

Yoo Shia was in the middle of concentrating on ‘softening’. There are so many things to deal with today.

Immediately after three days. No, it’s past midnight, so two days later. She had to make dolls quickly because the main line was open.

“Ugh….”

Making a glow-in-the-dark doll that looks just like Plan.

This is her goal until the main round of the subjugation system begins.

Of course, after making a fortune of 10,96 times, I gave a luminous puzzle as a gift to all A-level students, but…. Flan is an exception. She will make a doll for him.

“But, it is not easy….”

It is easy to handle the material, but it was very difficult to embody the gorgeous look of Plan that Yusia thinks of her.

The time when I was so desperate.

Trivia emitted a fluorescent light. It was an alarm light reprocessed by Yoo Shia herself.

It was a call from Becky.

[*Becky]

[▶ Yusia~ Thank you for the luminous puzzle!]

[▶ Thank you for buying me the perfume before!]

[▶ The greeting was so late….]

Come to think of it, I also gave Becky a perfume. He always asked for the scent of roses, so he did it.

Yusia was wiggling her fingers to send her usual reply, but she suddenly had something to ask.

[▷ Over there.]

[▷ Miss Becky!]

[▶ Huh? If you have anything to ask, ask quickly]

[▶ I have to sleep.]

[▶ Confiscated if caught doing trivia]

“Confiscated… !”

Yusia raised the speed of her fingers.

[▷ Do you know what Sir Plan likes?]

[▷ If you know, let me know!]

Even if you make a glow-in-the-dark doll that looks just like Plan, there are too many materials. While he was making it, he intended to turn all the things he liked into dolls.

Ten seconds.

One minute.

Three minutes.

No reply.

“… Were you confiscated?”

Around the time Yusia muttered to Trivia, she finally replied.

[▷ Um…. What flan likes….]

[▷ Me?]

Yusia’s actions stopped for a moment.

Two more messages came soon after.

[▷ It’s a joke. Joke.]

[▷ Really kidding.]

“….”

From noble mtl dot com

Yusia took three deep breaths.

She

She And she replied with a serious face.

[▶ Yes. That doesn’t seem like much.]

Early in the morning everyone fell asleep.

I’ve just arrived in the next town of Drune for a late-night auction.

“You have arrived.”

Said the coachman.

“Please wait here.”

“Ah… ?”

“Don’t worry. I’ll pay you that much.”

“Oh, you don’t have to… ! Thank you… !”

There are many shops that can be called sophisticated. Things that people call ‘luxury goods’ were often scattered here.

I passed them all and headed for the auction house in silence.

‘Up to intermediate level.’

The 3 events of the Sword Master Festival, the Subjugation Festival, allow the carrying of artifacts with the upper limit of the intermediate level.

My purpose is to obtain anything related to ancient runes, and remodel useful ones.

[ ! ]

And finally, I found an auction house with just one exclamation mark on the sign.

It is said that it was given this name in the sense that it only handles things that will make you admire, but now you will see for yourself what the reality is.

First, I put on a mask.

Basic design with no decorations in just white color. Enough to cover the face.

It’s not anyone else, it’s a mask given by Maiev, who is good at camouflage. It is safe to say that there is virtually no risk of being discovered.

The guests gathered at the social gathering were carefully selected.

They will keep the oath of secrecy until the finals of the subjugation system are over, but the number of people participating in the late-night auction basically exceeds several hundred.

I dared to use a mask because a lot of people gathered. There is nothing wrong with being careful.

‘It’s best to be known after the subjugation system.’

Also, doing it this way will have a great ripple effect.

“Have you made a reservation?”

A large attendant greeted me. I answered with the number issued at the time of reservation.

“1.”

“Oh, there is a special passage for VIPs.”

I followed him and calmly entered the interior. The VIP waiting room is spacious and cozy.

“I will come to pick you up when the time is right. Rest in peace.”

But after a while, unexpected people entered the waiting room for VIPs one after another.

Short red hair, like vibrant rose petals. Also, a well-balanced aura.

It was the leader of the Tianzhu, Janet and her colleagues.

They sat side by side on the chairs in front of me and started talking.

“I told Janet you were a pet dog? Hey~ It’s better than I thought. That child.”

“Be careful what you say, Bastian. In the first place, I didn’t put the words well.”

“Really? Then you had a nice room. Congratulations.”

Ting, Janet just flicked a coin into the air. After repeating that action for a while, he opened his mouth again.

“Bastian. What do you think of the janbul knight?”

“Suddenly?”

“Answer.”

The man called Bastian shrugged her shoulders.

“I just respect you. It’s like an idol.”

“Me too.”

Janet continues her words in a rather serious voice.

“Also, the same goes for the other knights. Even at this moment, countless knights are brandishing their swords to become like him. However.”

She squeezed her flicking coin between her fingers. Then the coin was folded in half like paper.

“… It is absolutely not possible for the Faculty of Magic to perform well and Judith’s status to drop. That’s why we have to win.”

There was a determined will in his voice.

Janet was determined in her own way.

“Well, let’s do our best. We are Cheonchuk.”

Bastian grinned. Janet nodded slowly.

“Yes. This auction is no exception. Make sure to take care of what you set out to do.”

“Don’t worry~ I brought a lot of gold coins. It’s just a matter of raising your hand.”

“So, Bastian. You’re a bit careless….”

“Ah— stop nagging. Can you give me a break?”

Then.

The attendant appeared politely.

“Distinguished guests who visited the exclamation mark, the auction will begin shortly. I will guide you.”

The Tianchuk guys took the lead first, and I walked in the back without saying a word. Not long after, a vast auction house appeared.

After we found each other’s seats and moved away, I muttered quietly.

“Sorry.”

Today, I plan to purchase ‘all’ auction items.
