I have a Synthesizer

#95 - Invisible confrontation

Looking at Klein's doubtful gaze, Becky smiled awkwardly, her apology perfunctory.

Aismond had said that if she acted pitiful, she would have a chance to get the Mongoose potion. Becky wasn't sure if the other party was lying to her.

Her acting skills weren't good, but she really needed the Mongoose potion.

......

Klein's expressionless face only lasted for a moment before it immediately changed into a smiling state. He was already very skilled at this quick change of expression.

Most of the time, he was vigilant enough, especially after being seriously injured in the Fire Blade Cult mission.

The first meeting when entering the Jay's, the second meeting before the auction started, and now the third meeting.

Perhaps it really was a coincidence, but even if it was a coincidence, three coincidences in a row would make Klein judge it as some kind of event.

He and Eirik were late leaving the Chamber of Commerce because they had to get the money. Normal buyers should have left long ago.

Becky also happened to come out at this time, and, coincidentally, she bumped into him while looking down.

Three consecutive meetings, such an artificial coincidence was really hard for Klein to believe.

Moreover, the key point was that Becky's acting skills were too clumsy. But it didn't matter, he was happy to cooperate with her and continue acting.

Klein didn't show any abnormality. Instead, he asked Becky with a concerned expression.

"Becky, what's wrong?"

Looking at Klein's handsome face and concerned expression, Becky's face suddenly turned red.

During the Fire Blade Cult mission, Klein was very thin and didn't look good. But she didn't expect Klein to change so much after meeting again.

The current Klein was too attractive to ordinary girls.

Moreover, as a knight, she also felt ashamed of her deception.

"Um, it's nothing. I didn't buy the Mongoose potion, and I'm a little sad."

Becky lowered her head, not daring to look directly into Klein's eyes. She really wasn't good at lying. Klein slightly raised his head, a cold look flashing in his eyes.

She can't even tell a lie well, how stupid. Just for the Mongoose? Is the purpose too simple?

Should he agree or refuse? Will the person behind her have other arrangements?

Klein didn't think for too long and made a decision. He smiled and took out a bottle of Mongoose potion from his arms and handed it to Becky.

Becky was slightly stunned, a look of surprise and strangeness appearing on her face. She forcibly suppressed the unnaturalness of her expression.

Looking at the Mongoose potion in Klein's hand, her voice trembled slightly.

"This is? Mongoose? Is it real?"

Seeing Becky's disbelief, Klein spread his hands.

"I shouldn't have any need to lie to you, but this thing is very expensive! I don't know if you have enough money!"

Perhaps because of excitement, or perhaps because of lying, Becky's words were a little incoherent.

Klein blinked and suddenly said.

"We're classmates, just give me 8000 Thales."

Becky was stunned for a moment. Huh? Does she still need to pay? 8000 Thales? Didn't Lord Aismond say that he would give it to her?

Of course, Becky couldn't ask Klein about it.

Klein nodded with a smile. According to the auction price, the Nolan Chamber of Commerce would take 10%, and then Eirik would take 30% of the remainder.

Out of 9000 Thales, Klein could only get a little over 5600, which wasn't actually too much.

And now selling it to Becky for 8000 was the price of Becky's last bid. Klein was sure that this price should be acceptable to Becky.

Well, 8000 Thales, you don't lose, I make a bloody profit, selling it to you for 8000, and you still have to thank me. This result is good for everyone.

The profit from privately selling potions was simply ridiculously high, making Klein a little tempted.

......

After getting the Mongoose potion, Becky held it tightly in her hand. Although it was expensive, it was still very worthwhile.

"Klein, why do you have this potion? And why do you want to help me?"

Help? NO, NO, NO, you're thinking too much, girl. I just want to make more money. Klein paused and seriously thought of a reason to answer Becky.

"This may be fate's arrangement. I apologize for what happened on the carriage back then."

Becky was attracted by Klein's gentle gaze. She was stunned for a moment before whispering.

"You're talking about that? I've already forgotten it. Klein, I take back what I said before, you are a true gentleman."

Deceiving Klein made Becky feel a little guilty. She was about to say something when she remembered Aismond's words.

【Everyone's growth requires disguise.】

But when she thought of Aismond's words, she naturally began to forgive herself.

"I'm sorry, Klein, this was all arranged by Lord Aismond."

Self-forgiveness is a psychological situation that everyone will experience. Even Becky, who abides by the knight's code, is no exception.

People will always subconsciously give themselves self-suggestions. Even if they know it's wrong, they will say, it's not my fault.

Just when Becky was feeling a little excited, dazed, and guilty, Klein suddenly said.

"When did my father leave?"

"Ah?!" Becky was stunned for a full three seconds without saying a word. She almost blurted out Aismond's matter just now.

"What father? Klein, what are you talking about?"

Klein shook his head with a smile. He already knew the answer he wanted.

"It's nothing, I saw it wrong just now!"

"Also, I'm not a gentleman, gentlemen are all pretending."

Without any desire to talk to Becky any further, Klein turned and left.

Father! Did he see something? Is this a test for me?

......

Back in his office, Aismond continued to spin his two magic balls.

He lit his pipe, took a puff, and hid his face in the clouds of smoke, wondering what he was thinking.

"Report, Becky has already obtained the Mongoose potion."

"I know. This child is not bad. Cultivate her well, I have a use for her."

Aismond murmured while smoking.

"With Kukasero protecting her, Lilith won't be needed for the time being. However, I think Becky is also good. A Holy Knight growing up is an excellent meat shield.

I just don't know if you are satisfied with the subordinates I have chosen for you.

Joe has already demonstrated his talents to us, only you are left, Klein."

Knocking off the ashes, at his position, there was nothing that could excite him anymore.

But Aismond felt a long-lost sense of excitement about Klein coming to Jay's. This was why he went to the auction.

It was as if Klein was some kind of thing worth looking forward to. With a smile, Aismond pressed the button on the magic communicator.

"Have Lance come over here."
