“The biggest slave auction? Wait...” I look at Carol, “You... wouldn’t...”

“Hmhm... that’s right, the big thing I was talking about is...” Carol puffed out her chest, hands planted on her hips, and proudly spoke as if the hatred in her eyes from moments ago was a mere illusion.

“Let’s go save those slaves!”

“haha... Carol, you’re so funny... I’ve got to say, if you continue lying like that then you will surely be stolen by a wolf during the night...”

“Of course it’s the truth!” Carol’s face was completely serious with no hint of lies, “This was my goal from the start!”

I feel like I’ve just been told the funniest joke in the world... but the person who told me the joke said she was frigging serious.

“Can I take the liberty to ask you some things...”

“Go ahead.”

“You want to go save those slaves?”

“Mhm.”

“Since they dared to set up an auction house in a place like this, they must have some incredible backers.”

“Although I haven’t been able to uncover the people backing the Auction site, they should be pretty impressive. After all, many girls have disappeared recently, but nothing has come of it. There must be some government officials operating in the dark.”

“...and you don’t have any allies with you?”

“Um... not just me, I already have a partner.” Carol looked up at me with stars twinkling in her eyes.

Suddenly I felt like my body was enveloped by a thick layer of malice, the hairs on the back of my neck stood up.

“... The teammate you’re talking about wouldn’t happen to be me, would it?”

“Mhm.” She nodded.

“I’m leaving now.” What a joke, if you have no manpower and are not powerful enough yourself then going to such an auction house that is backed by some powerful people to rescue the slaves is simply equal to giving them more slaves.

“Waaa! Lilith don’t go.” Carol hugged my thigh again, “You said that as long as I show you the big thing I wanted to do, you would join me.”

“The hell I said that! Let go of me, I don’t want to go in vain and end up giving them a white, tender, fragile, and beautiful slave girl.”

Ten seconds later, Carol was rolling on the ground while clutching her head.

“It hurts, Lilith, you hit me so hard... boohoo...”

I played with the Spectrum Stone in my hand, and sneered, “Sure enough, Carol, even if you occasionally show a higher IQ, it’s only average. I don’t want to die following you.”

After that, I deleted the recording and threw the Spectrum Stone back at Carol, “It’s getting late, so I’ll be heading off first.”

“......” Carol sat up suddenly, but lowered her head and didn’t speak.

“Go on.” Her voice was trembling with the sound of crying.

“Ok?”

Carol stood up, but still lowered her head so that I could not see her expression.

“I said go away, from the start... I’ve always been alone anyway, haven’t I?”

Hey... it looks like she’s crying.

“It’s been like that since I was young, everyone is so busy, nobody has time for me. The only people willing to spend time with me were the ones who are considered lowly slaves in your eyes.”

“But why is she a slave... why does she have to be a slave? If she weren’t a slave, would she still be alive? Would mother have been able to save her?”

“Because of that... I hate slaves and anyone who would turn someone else into a slave. I don’t want anyone to be made a slave anymore, but... nobody supports me, everyone thinks I’m stupid.”

“I’m not stupid... I’m not.”

Carol slowly crouched down, her head buried in her knees as she hugged her head pitifully as if she’d been abandoned by the whole world.

Her appearance... is so familiar... Lilith felt as though she was looking at her past self.

“Tell me about your plan,” I said.

“Huh?” Carol raised her head in disbelief, her eyes were red and swollen, “Lilith... What did you just say?”

“I said...”

I thought back to how I was still weak and couldn’t help it. I was afraid of being alone... I was even afraid of being left alone by others as I always felt fear of loneliness. In the face of what I was most afraid of, I could only make compromises.

“-let’s go together.”
