Chapter 2-12: I have a Perfect Plan (Part 2)

“Bu- buy you?”

“Yes.” Carol nodded, “Lilith ate so much before and was even able to pull out a Ninth Level scroll, so you must be rich. Therefore, you can just go to the auction and buy me.” Carol looked proud, as if she had said something groundbreaking.

“...you’re really something…”

"Hey? Lilith, your expression looks terrible... what are you doing... uwaaa..."

I wrapped a hand around Carol’s neck and twisted it, “You really took a shine to my money, huh!”

"Uwaa... how... can it be! It... it’s because… I realized… how smart… beautiful… and strong… Lilith is... that… that’s why… uwaa... let me go... c-... can’t... breath..."

“Hmph!”

I only let go of Carol when she’s about to faint. As she was finally able to suck in the air, Carol fell to the ground while panting heavily.

"Wow, I really almost died, Lilith. Don’t you know that you should be gentle towards women?”

I answered with a sneer, “being gentle towards women is meant to refer to young ladies who are sweet and innocent, you are neither, you little beggar.”

As soon as I called her a beggar, Carol spoke up, “I’m not a beggar! I just got cheated out of my money! Because of that I couldn’t eat and had nowhere to live… I haven’t even been able to take a bath in seven days! Wow… Lilith, you’re adding salt to injury again… it’s too much!!”

Seven days? You’ve become like this in just seven days?

I looked at Carol rolling about on the ground and said, "Are you really sure that you became like this in just seven days because you haven't taken a bath? Why do I feel like you haven't taken a bath for a month?"

"Wow..." Carol paused suddenly, her eyes flickering as if she were avoiding something.

Huh? Weird.

I continue mockingly, “I see, you must have turned to like this because you’re frequently throwing a tantrum on the floor like a baby, but why would a young lady do such a thing, I have to wonder......?

"Uwaaa... Lilith... you..." Carol rushed up to cover my mouth, but I easily resisted.

Hmhmhm… as expected, I knew it was impossible to be this bad off if it’d only been a week since she last took a bath.

I moved my mouth close to Carol’s ear, "I suspect you become like this because..."

“Lalalalala… I can’t hear you, I can’t hear you!!” Carol shook her head constantly as she struggled to break away from her bonds, but there was no way for her to break free from my clutches with strength just a bit bigger than an ordinary person. Carol was unable to move a single step with just a slight exertion of my arms.

“You were scavenging for food from the garbage,” I continued regardless of her protest.

"Uwaaa..." Carlo suddenly lost strength all over her body and fell to the ground. She murmured with a pair of lifeless eyes as if she was broken, "Lilith is so mean... Lilith is…”

"Oh ho ho, our young lady actually scavenged for food from the garbage, what a surprise. And she's still rolling on the ground ... as a matter of fact, you look just like a puppy."

“Waaaa!!! Lilith!!! I’ll fight you!!” Carol rose from the ground, baring her fangs and claws at me.

The result is obvious. Merely three seconds later, Carlo was squatting and hugging her head, whispering some kind of curse under her breath.

"Who told you to act arrogant when you are clearly after my money? Just consider this as a lesson." I crossed my arms and said to Carol who was squatting in the corner and ignoring me, "Oh that’s right, what about the follow-up plan?"

“What plan?” Carol lifted her head, her dirty face filled with confusion.

“Like, what should we do after I buy you… etc… or what, don’t tell me you didn’t…” I squinted my eyes and approached Carol.

“Oooh… you mean the next part of the plan… of course… I have one, that is, um…” Carol muttered for a long time, but couldn’t come up with anything to say.

“Uwaaaaaaa!!”

I knocked Carol’s  pig head and yelled, “Be Honest!”

“Uuuu… I hadn’t really had time to think of that…”

"That is to say ..." I looked at Carol and felt like I was about to snap, "the detailed, thorough, and absolutely workable super Invincible plan you took three days to devise is actually only half-finished? "

"Awawawa... Lilith, don't get angry ..." Carol tried to run from me, but she had already retreated to a corner so she couldn’t retreat any further. She could only look at me with a smirk, "Actually, the half-finished plan is already pretty awesome, we would be able to rescue the slaves in any case."

"Awesome your head! You’re still light-years from rescuing the slaves."

“Then what are you saying we should do?” Carol shrewdly asked me with a pout.

I sighed for a moment and thought about it, "for now we’ll implement it according to your previous plan, and wing it until we get more detailed information."

“Oh.” 

But this works in our favor, I honestly can’t feel at ease if the most important part of the plan was planned out by Carol’s low IQ. I may not be able to think of a perfect plan ... But if worse comes to worst, I can just use a saint-level scroll to blow up the auction house.

Regardless, I still have the teleportation scroll as a life-saving measure.

I don't know why, but I still feel a little uneasy. As if I’ve overlooked something very important.

I looked at Carol who was still drawing circles on the ground and cursing me at the corner, then I opened my mouth to threaten her, "You'd better implement this infiltration plan well... if something goes wrong..."

I showed an extremely cruel smile, "I’ll really sell you to the auction house..."

Carol quickly nodded in horror.

"I… I’ll follow Boss Lilith’s commands to the letter."
