"Alright. I have integrated everything. Please try it." The bald man handed back the skyglasses. Kanaria gave Clovis so that he could try the difference. When he activated the skyglasses, the first thing he saw was the option to open and turn on the map. Considering they could actually share their screen, it was no wonder that there was an option like this. However, most of the adjustments were on the hardware, so he couldn't test them. He just made sure that he was able to turn it on. "I think everything is good enough." Clovis nodded and turned off the skyglasses. "In that case, I will do the fine-tuning. You can pick them up tonight. For this little missy, I will finish it right away." The bald man winked playfully. Kanaria smiled wryly. "Then, I will take the rest of the items tonight as well." "Sure." The bald man looked at these two, who were about to leave the store. He couldn't help but say, "By the way, beware of the mule." "Mule?" Kanaria stopped on her track. "Is there something wrong?" Clovis asked. "There is a rumor among people like us that the mule is in this city. It appears that he is bringing a lot of banned goods, so people are wary of the chance that those banned goods are misused." "What are the banned goods?" Kanaria asked. "I don't know. There are a lot of rumors, to the point that I don't know which ones are real or not. But from what I see in the black market, there are three things I recognize. They are hacked devices, monster controllers, and essence poison." "Monster controllers?" Clovis frowned. "What did they do?" "It appears that they're producing a sound at a certain frequency that only beasts can hear. Those are good devices for military use because they can direct the beasts to those devices." "..." Suddenly, both Kanaria and Clovis's expressions darkened.@@@@ The bald man instantly realized that both of them had experienced it. He said, "It seems that the situation is that bad. I will try to report to the military that one of them has fallen into bad hands. Also, don't buy suspicious things even if they are cheap, they might be the hacked devices spread by the mule. Just go to a good establishment to buy stuff." "Understood. Thank you." Kanaria properly bowed to him. She dragged Clovis, who was still in deep thought. As soon as they reached the store, one of the staff approached them with the best smile she could offer. "Welcome." "I am looking for a necklace and a ring. Do you mind leading me to their section?" Clovis didn't hesitate to tell her simply because she didn't have enough time. The staff misunderstood him, thinking that he wanted to buy them for his girlfriend. However, Clovis didn't realize yet that his 'Lucky Necklace' had begun its magic. The moment the staff led them to their destination, Clovis instantly found a necklace with a green jewel on it. "I want that." Clovis pointed at the necklace without checking the price. "Mhmm?" This was the third lucky thing he encountered. While he wasn't lucky enough in the shop Kanaria first introduced, he was sure lucky enough in this shop. After all, the moment Kanaria and the staff saw the price of the necklace, they couldn't help but widen their eyes in shock. "What's wrong?" Clovis tilted his head in confusion. "It's nothing. I will take it out immediately." The staff's smile became bigger while saying to Kanaria, "Miss, you're very blessed." Clovis didn't hear them as he had already headed to the ring section and once again found the item he was searching for. While they weren't the exact same, they were similar enough to him. "By the way, take this out for me as well..." "Y-yes." The staff was, of course, happy since she could earn some commissions if she managed to sell a lot. Meanwhile, Kanaria couldn't help but fall into a deeper misunderstanding. 'Wait a minute. I don't think I'm ready for this. A ring?' Kanaria turned around, not wanting Clovis to see her expression. 'Clovis is actually buying a necklace and a ring? I can understand the necklace, but the ring... Is he actually serious about our relationship? But we haven't confirmed our relationship yet... 'Don't tell me, Clovis is actually thinking about skipping that process and going straight to propose to me? I thought that my mother was the only one who wanted the relationship to move forward as quickly as possible, but to think Clovis too...' Clovis didn't know what she was thinking because he immediately proceeded to the cashier to complete the transactions. Kanaria didn't realize at that time that the things he bought weren't for her. And whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, in her misunderstanding, she actually spotted Melody walking past the jewelry store. Their eyes ended up meeting each other. "Melody?" "Kanaria?"
