Isn't Being A Wicked Woman Much Better?

Chapter 85

C85

... They made a slip of the tongue, and then they missed the mark while covering it up. However, the reason I quickly grasped the context of the conversation between the two is that I know from the previous information in the novel that no one knows that Diery has the Holy Spirit's egg.

"N-no..."

Guillaume exclaimed speechlessly, and Thierry snorted.

"I suppose he overheard the conversation and put it together."

"I don't do anything like boasting. Sir Thierry is the one feigning his innocence clumsily, so would you prefer to sell me that Holy Spirit's egg and become accomplices together?"

"Accomplices? Does that mean I'm already guilty? Based on what?"

He looked at me with an expressionless face. As his peculiarities and relaxed demeanor disappeared, he looked rather sharp.

Thierry suddenly got serious, so I was a little startled, but I honestly wasn't afraid of him compared to the Master, so I spoke in a relaxed tone.

"Sir Thierry is the one boasting. What would you do if they later hit Sir Diery to check the authenticity of the hatching stone?"

"......"

"Just give it to me. I'll buy it at a higher price than on the black market. I have plenty of money."

Thierry slightly tilted his head.

"The hatching artifact hasn't come out so far, so it's the same as a rock... Why would you buy it at a higher price than on the black market?"

He was sharp.

It seems he didn't enter Epsilon without reason.

If I keep obsessing over the hatching stone, he might become suspicious of me. If he finds out that there is an artifact of that hatching stone, it will be troublesome.

I shrugged once.

"I enjoy the possibility of a bigger reward because I like making a fortune in one fell swoop. Wouldn't it be fun if mundane life suddenly got exciting?"

"That's great..."

Guillaume exclaimed as if he thought I must be called the notorious one from Seymour, as rumored.

Fortunately, he was a simpler type than Thierry.

"I'm also interested in the red horse Sir Thierry mentioned earlier, not just the Holy Spirit's egg. Is that definitive information?"

"Maybe, are you trying to get involved in the racetrack now?"

"Do you think I would just be getting involved? If I'm an accomplice, it should be to this extent."

As I continued, his eyes widened considerably.

"Really?"

"If I tell you in advance, it's not fun. So I'll show you directly at the racetrack."

---------------------------

"... Ah, I've really gone all the way."

I was an ordinary citizen who had never stolen 100 won from someone's pocket in my previous life, and now I'm at the racetrack.

The path to the racetrack headquarters was also very difficult.

Even though Thierry seemed reckless, secretly, he was a meticulous person.

After entering the basement of a large store that sold ceramics, he shared a map of the back road leading to the racetrack along a deep passageway.

Thanks to him, I was able to get away from the escorts and easily reach this place.
