How does it feel, you guys?! You all looked down on me, and now look at you! Puhahahaha!!

It’s like drinking soda after eating sweet potatoes; I feel so refreshed.

The three of them looked at me as if wondering what I had done.

“Hmm. I didn’t want to be a know-it-all, but seeing your expressions, I guess I need to explain.”

“It’s not that. You said you’d explain today, master.”

[The goddess who sees fate agrees with Kage’s words.]

…This kid and the Constellation yearn to win every argument.

But honestly, I have nothing to say since it’s true.

“Anyway, do you see what I’m holding?”

At my question, the three of them looked at the potion in my hand. Kage’s eyes widened in surprise.

“Huh?! Isn’t that the potion you bought from a scammer yesterday?!”

“She’s not a scammer, but yes, it is.”

At my answer, Kage looked incredulous.

“Then, did the potion made by that shop owner really make these plants grow in just one day?!”

“Hmm… Well, you could say that.”

[The goddess who sees fate asks what nonsense is this!!]

Why is this kid so excited?

She has always seemed interested in me, but today, she seems particularly intense. Is it just my imagination?

Well, I guess it’s because I know something she doesn’t, but it’s awkward to pretend I don’t know now.

The three of them tilted their heads, looking confused.

“Just looking at you, I can tell you don’t understand. Many people mistakenly believe that the exact effect of a health potion is to heal wounds.”

“……”

“The precise effect of a health potion is to temporarily boost regeneration abilities beyond their limits. That’s why the seeds we planted yesterday grew so quickly.”

Well, this is just my plausible theory, but in reality, it’s just a bug caused by a developer’s error. At the time, people were shocked when they discovered this bug.

But that was the only problem. Despite finding a bug that could destroy the market, it didn’t have much use.

And to begin with, this bug only works with potions made by Karin, not others.

Well, I guess it’s because the potions she makes are of exceptional quality.

Anyway, I digressed, but in the game, what’s the point of bringing vegetables or fruits? They’re useless. It’s better to grind monsters and make money than to do that.

No wonder the developers didn’t fix it.

After hearing my plausible nonsense, the three of them stared at me blankly.

“Of course, it only works with the potion I bought yesterday. Others are all inferior in performance, so you can assume they won’t work.”

“……”

As I spoke with such confidence, the three of them became speechless.

“What’s wrong? Why aren’t you reacting?”

“Ah! I’m sorry. I was so surprised by what you said that I…”

Philip was so shocked that his usually half-closed eyes were wide open.

I ignored their reactions and picked three fruits from the field, offering them to the three of them.

“Try one.”

“Yes, sir.”

“Yes, master.”

The three of them took a bite of the fruit I offered. Philip and Lise widened their eyes, while Kage chewed the fruit with her chubby cheeks, gobbling it down.

Anyone would think I was trying to take it from her.

[The goddess who sees fate wants to try it too. She says to quickly come to her shrine and offer her a tribute!!]

Why is this Constellation so excited about a fruit when she doesn’t even need to eat?

She has been watching Kim Soo-yong’s mukbang every day, and now she’s excited about a top-grade fruit created by a bug.

No matter how delicious the fruit is, can it be better than a high-grade meal?

I always feel like I can’t understand her thoughts.

“How is it? Isn’t it top-notch?”

The three of them nodded without hesitation at my question.

“This will be my first stable source of income. The problem is that if it spreads too much, it could destroy the market economy, so let’s start small.”

To be precise, if the news gets out that I did this, someone might target me.

Philip was speechless for a moment, as if he couldn’t believe I had thought this far. On the other hand, Lise, whose perception of Kaine had changed significantly since the assassination incident with Vilg, proudly crossed her arms under her majestic breasts and exhaled.

Looking at her expression, you’d think she was the one who had accomplished this, not me.

Well, their reactions are understandable. Until recently, Kaine was acting like a reckless fool, spending money recklessly, but now, he’s not only not spending but is about to earn the most money ever. Their reactions are only natural.

“Then, from now on, tell the Agricultural District Prosecutor to harvest the fruits in my field on a small scale. Of course, don’t mention the method we used.”

“Yes, sir. We understand.”

At my command, Philip and Lise bowed with loyal eyes. Kage also bowed, following their lead.

.

.

.

Kaine returned to his room with Kage. Philip stared in the direction Kaine had gone.

What happened to make him change so much? Or was he hiding his true nature all this time?

…No, that’s not it. It doesn’t make sense for him to have been hiding his true nature until now.

There’s no reason for him to act like a reckless fool, drinking, throwing things at people, and spending money recklessly.

So, has he really changed?

Philip pondered. Until a few days ago, there was no denying that Kaine was a parasite of the David family.

But.

He has changed completely, for reasons unknown.

Of course, he hasn’t completely changed. His tone and demeanor are still the same.

However, the problem is that his actions are too different from before. Kaine is now so competent that it’s not an exaggeration to call him a genius.

As Philip was thinking this, Lise opened her mouth with a proud expression.

“How about it, Philip? Isn’t the young master much different, as I said?”

“……Yes, he is. So, is it true that he caught the spy from the cult?”

“Yes. I tried to subdue him, but the young master caught the spy on his own.”

Could that be true?

Currently, there’s a rumor spreading among the assassins of the David family that Kaine caught a spy from the cult.

Of course, it was Lise who spread this rumor.

She tends to favor Kaine, and I thought it was an exaggeration, but seeing today’s events, it wasn’t.

Such an innovative method. Could he possibly know about the deed I committed?

A few days ago, I tried to get rid of Kaine, the parasite of the family, by destroying the dark guild he was operating. I asked a friend in the Adventurer’s Guild to request an investigation from Kim Soo-yong, who is strong and has a sense of justice, in a way that wouldn’t raise suspicions.

Of course, I intentionally requested an investigation to avoid suspicion.

And as expected, Kim Soo-yong not only investigated but also destroyed the small guild.

Well, that was fine.

But the problem was the unexpected result. Kaine should have been killed or captured by Kim Soo-yong, but…

I never imagined he would escape from there.

Thinking about it, it’s highly likely that Kaine knows about the deed he committed.

It’s absurd for him not to know about the sloppy deed committed by his personal butler, when he even found the cult’s spy that no one else could find.

Yet, he pretends not to know.

As he was thinking deeply, Lise spoke up from the side.

“Philip? Why are you spacing out?”

“Ah! I’m sorry. I was wondering what happened to the young master that made him change so much.”

“I also changed during the short time I was away, but anyway, isn’t this good?”

“Yes, it is.”

He has a big heart.

Normally, no one would let someone who did such a thing go unpunished. Yet, Kaine accepted me without casting me out.

As he was impressed by Kaine’s magnanimity,

“Mr. Philip, then let’s go and do what the young master asked.”

“Yes, I understand.”

The two of them headed towards the inspector to carry out Kaine’s task.

[Quest – Make Money! Completed.]

[You will be rewarded with 500 points.]

I now have 1,000 points in my possession. With this many points, it’s possible to purchase permanent items in the cash shop, not just one-time-use items.

Of course, I still can’t buy most of them.

But compared to when I first possessed this body, it’s clear that I’ve made a huge difference.

At that time, all I had was volume control. Now, in addition to adjusting effect quality, I’ve also accumulated 1,000 points.

“How about it? I told you to trust me, right?”

“Woof!”

She nodded, pretending to be a dog and wagging her tail.

As we walked with light steps, a butler suddenly appeared behind us, as if he had been watching us all along.

As expected, I was being watched by Thomas. But since he came like this, he must have something to say to me.

I had expected this to some extent. From Thomas’s perspective, it’s only natural that he wouldn’t just ignore the changes I’ve made.

Thomas must have wondered what I would do after realizing that I had changed, even if only slightly. He also had me watched by someone under him to see if I would cause trouble again.

And now, Malcolm, the butler, or more accurately, the David family’s top assassin, has appeared.

“The young master has summoned you.”

As I expected, Thomas has called me due to the revolutionary method that’s turning the market upside down.

“Okay. Then take Kage to my room.”

“Yes, sir. Young master.”

Malcolm smiled like a kind uncle and nodded.

“By the way, she’s my guest, so treat her well.”

“Yes, sir.”

So, I headed towards the master’s room at Thomas’s call.

.

.

.

Hmm… I need to increase my physical abilities quickly so that I can use the volume control ability without any burden. If I’m this easily caught, I might die again.

Of course, Malcolm’s surveillance is exceptional, but even so, it wouldn’t hurt to strengthen myself.

Let’s think about this later.

-Knock, knock, knock.

“Yes, come in.”

As I was about to open my mouth, Thomas spoke first. I opened the door at his command.

As I entered the room, Thomas put his hands behind his back and looked out the window, speaking.

“Well… Do you know why I called you?”

“Yes, sir.”

“I was waiting for good news, but I never imagined you would do something so absurd.”

Thomas smiled in disbelief.

“Well, you know that what you’re doing could destroy the market economy… no, it could leave a mark in the history of the Leiston continent. But…”

“Yes, sir, I understand what you’re saying.”

If this spreads, I will be exposed to danger.

Of course, thanks to my status as the son of the David family’s master, I will be less threatened. But even so, after dying once at the hands of Vilg, there’s no guarantee of safety.

Well, aside from the threat to me, there’s also the possibility of a butterfly effect on history.

I’m already anxious about the changes that the Constellation has caused in the future.

And the problem doesn’t end there. The other brothers are also more likely to target me.

Right now, they think of me as a reckless fool, so they’re leaving me alone, thinking I’ll self-destruct.

But what if they find out about my achievements now? They won’t kill me, but they’re likely to make me disabled.

Damn. That’s as good as forcing me to commit suicide.

In their eyes, they’re not killing me, but from my perspective, it’s the same thing.

Damn, I don’t want to die either.

Becoming the master would only make my life busier. I’d rather be a rich bum than a busy master.

The problem is that the brothers don’t think the same way I do.

I feel wronged, but I can’t say it out loud, so I just thought it to myself.

“Yes, I understand. Then, in recognition of this achievement, I will restore your material support. What’s more, I’ll grant you one wish.”

Oh?! Granting a wish?

The David family is one of the most prominent families on the Leiston continent. Therefore, they can grant almost any wish.

[The goddess who sees fate perks up her ears.]

Hmm… What do I wish for right now?

To be honest, I don’t have any wishes since I’ve already regained support.

So, I closed my eyes and thought slowly.

Hmm? Ah! Now that I think about it…

“I’m….”
