Don't move, it's a robbery!

As birdsong filled the air, the sun shone brightly once more.

When Tina opened her eyes again, she was incredulous. She looked around and, after finding Eve alone in the room, couldn't help but ask a question.

Where is he?

"Who?"

"Well... he was holding a short stick, which should have made him quite conspicuous."

"You're not asking about the Robin Hood, are you?"

Upon hearing Eve's words, Tina nodded excitedly. This action clearly aggravated her wound, causing Tina to twitch involuntarily, but she didn't care and only focused on asking Eve questions.

"Where is he? Is he still alive? Why isn't he here? Why did you only save me and not him?"

"You still know I saved you! Aren't you going to ask who I am?"

"I'm sorry, but could you please tell me where he is?"

Eve laughed in exasperation and pointed irritably to the door.

"That guy's dead! We're digging a hole to bury him now!"

No sooner had Eve finished speaking than Tina struggled to get out of bed, ignoring her injuries, and ran straight for the door. Her reckless action startled Eve, who quickly grabbed Tina and held her back.

"Hey! What are you doing! Are you out of your mind? I was just kidding! That guy's fine! Lie down right now, you can't move around."

"Then let me go see him!"

"You little rascal! Why are you so disobedient! I told you you can't move right now!"

Hearing the commotion inside, I peeked out from the doorway. The moment Tina saw me, she stopped struggling and fainted again.

"Hey, isn't this the Casanova? What are you doing here? Are you here to meet your princess lover?"

"When did this guy become my lover? I'm here to call you for breakfast."

"Oh? You actually came to see me. I didn't expect you to still care about me. It makes me look bad."

"???"

Eve's attitude towards me has changed since last night.

After my explanation, the misunderstanding between the two tree spirits was quickly resolved. They only knew a few phrases over and over again. After a little thought, Leos figured out the reason: some monster must have trained them to speak, but even monsters don't know many phrases, so the two of them didn't have many words to say.

Although the message was clear, Leos was still greatly disappointed; it was obvious that he really wanted to raise a few monsters.

Then I recounted how I met Tina in the No Man's Land, how I rescued her in the Forest of Azkir, and how I met and interrogated Frog. Of course, I didn't mention the Ancient Scroll, since it's better if as few people as possible know about something that can directly steal the 'Western Bronze'.

I thought everything was cleared up by then, but I didn't expect that the way others looked at me would become even stranger, especially the little one, who kept asking me why I was keeping a female vampire in the no man's land.

Eve isn't much better. I don't know what's wrong with her, but now whenever she sees me, she says strange things. On the surface, they seem like normal sentences, but they just sound really uncomfortable.

In the words of "west Tong," it has become strange and unsettling.

For example, right now, I came to call her for breakfast, but she's inexplicably throwing a tantrum again.

"So, are you going to eat or not?"

"I won't eat it."

"Oh, okay."

Seeing that Eve had no intention of eating, I didn't force her. However, as soon as I stepped out the door, I heard her angrily humming from inside the house.

"Xitong, do you know what's going on with her?"

(￢_￢): "How would I know? I don't even have a gender, so why would you think I understand women?"

"Oh right, I was so busy yesterday that I almost forgot to ask about the gift! What did you prepare for me? Show it to me! I've been waiting all day!"

This time, 'West Copper' didn't keep me waiting; instead, they showed me the gift directly.

A total of 50 raffle tickets that cannot be used for the lottery!

"What's the point of this! I get it every month! But I can't participate in any raffles for these things!"

(˶'ᵕ'˶): "You can use it if you sign a contract with me."

"Come on, I'm definitely not going to sign a contract with you. My motto is 'Dating, not marriage!'"

"Marriage? Who are you going to marry?!"

I was so busy arguing with 'West Copper' that I didn't even notice when Little Dot appeared. But it shows that her stealth skills have improved quite a bit recently.

"Is it Tina? Let me tell you, that woman is just using you! She's toying with your feelings. You won't end up with her!"

"What?"

"Don't you know? Nobles and commoners can't marry. Tina definitely knows this. Whatever she promised, it's all a lie to use you. Don't believe her!"

"Uh, I think you've misunderstood..."

"This is not a misunderstanding! I know what you want to say. You want to say that Tina isn't that kind of person, that she's not an ordinary aristocratic girl. People in love all say that, but you're just being blinded and unwilling to face reality! Actually, there are many women better than Tina! Look at us here, there are many good women! Why do you have to focus on Tina, this foreign woman?"

"You mean March?"

"Huh? No! I was talking about myself! Even if you misunderstood, you should be talking about Eve, right? Why did March come to mind first?"

"Because she has big breasts!"

Upon hearing my answer, the little one paused for a moment, then looked down at himself. After realizing that he could see everything clearly, he suddenly ran away crying.

(￢_￢): "Congratulations, you've successfully made a girl who had feelings for you give up completely."

"No, didn't you just say you didn't understand women?"

(￢_￢): "I may not understand, but I'm not deaf. She practically told you straight up, how come you still didn't get it?"

"Of course I understand, but I don't want to marry a child!"

I don't know if there was anything wrong with what I said, but 'West Copper' suddenly went berserk. One minute it was yelling something like "Long live Lori!" and the next it was spouting strange things like "puppy love is no crime." I just assumed it was having its usual episode and didn't bother with it.

But after yelling for a while, he suddenly returned to normal and even asked me if I wanted to use those lottery tickets.

I thought this was just another of my usual tricks to lure me into signing a contract, so I just gave it a perfunctory reply. But it told me that even without signing a contract, there were ways to use some of the functions.

This made me a little wary. In the past, 'West Copper' would ignore me, but starting yesterday, they started giving me gifts and offering discounts. This unusual behavior is really abnormal.

As the old saying goes, if something is different from usual, it must be the work of a demon!

Although I don't understand its purpose, the best way to deal with it is not to be greedy.

As long as you're not greedy, you won't fall for it. Moreover, the cost of such scams is very low; anyone with a little common sense can easily spot them. Therefore, everyone must keep their eyes open and not be fooled by the sweet talk of scammers.

That's one good thing about me: I'm never greedy. Even if I had a mountain of gold, I wouldn't be tempted by using a lottery ticket!

"Hmm? Rogue, you're here right now. The merchants' guild has come to deliver money—the money from the armor sale. Do you want to come and take a look?"

"Yes, yes, yes! I've been waiting for this! I haven't had any income in ages!"
