When returning from Richard's manor, it was getting late. Sitting in the carriage, Wayne saw that the market was still brightly lit from a distance.
"Huh? No curfew?" Wayne asked doubtfully. The driver in the front seat heard his question, turned around and replied with a smile: "Master Wayne, today is the annual trade festival! The market will be open until dawn tomorrow." Wayne was startled, and then he remembered that he seemed I heard it said before.
It turns out that today is... However, this is actually a discount promotion festival in disguise. Except for businessmen from other places and civilians with poor financial resources, not many nobles will be interested in it.
Because——it will lose face. The atmosphere of comparison among the nobles in the royal capital has always been exaggerated, and it would be even more uncomfortable to embarrass them in public than to kill them.
The reason why Song Li mentioned it was because her family had too many properties. Before participating in such a large-scale event, the chamber of commerce needed to submit a profit plan to the owner in advance.
Wayne thought for a while and said to the coachman: "Just drop me off at the entrance of the market."
"Huh? Aren't you going home?" He was a little surprised.
"Then I..."
"Just leave first. I can go back by myself." Wayne said nonchalantly. The driver was a little uneasy.
"Otherwise... you can agree on a time and I will come here to pick you up then."
"No need." Wayne turned his palm and summoned the magic power. The bright dust formed a cyclone in his hand, changing three-dimensional shapes in his palm, looking mysterious and unpredictable.
"I'm a magician! There won't be any accidents in the capital." He reassured. Under the persuasion of absolute strength, the coachman reluctantly relaxed and placed him at a corner of the street next to the market, then drove the carriage and disappeared around the other corner.
Wayne watched as the Wincher family's carriage was submerged in darkness, and then turned to look at a bright market.
Lots of people of all kinds intertwined with each other on the street. The children were laughing and playing happily, running around, occasionally accompanied by scoldings from the adults who were trying to hold back their tempers.
Wayne also smiled and looked down at his attire. Since he went directly to Richard's manor after school, he was still wearing the Qingxi Academy uniform.
If you walk into the crowd, you will definitely stand out like a chicken, extremely conspicuous. ...I need to at least change my clothes.
He looked at the clothing store on the other side of the street and got an idea. In a blink of an eye, Wayne was back on the street.
However, what he is wearing now is just an ordinary piece of coarse cloth - at first glance, he looks no different from other civilians.
But he soon discovered that he still didn't think carefully enough. Because... although the clothes can be changed into mediocre ones, his handsome appearance cannot be concealed at all.
Walking down the street, the number of heads turning was still high, and Wayne felt uncomfortable. In desperation, he had no choice but to buy a monster mask from a roadside stall and put it on his face.
His posture was still upright, but he finally didn't attract any more meaningful glances. This also made Wayne feel once again that being too handsome is a kind of distress.
Alas, I am such a sinful man. He shook his head and sighed for a moment, putting these messy thoughts behind him, and started wandering around various gift shops with great interest.
Whenever he saw a gadget that seemed novel to him, he would buy it without saying a word, thinking of giving it to his girlfriends to make them happy.
For this reason, he also bought a sturdy cloth bag for easy loading.
"Hmm, this seems to be something Chris would like." I bought it.
"This one seems to be in line with Asali's hobbies at first glance~" I bought it.
"Well, would Tasia like this doll?" No matter what, let's buy it together. ……Eh?
Why is Tasia even involved? Wayne paused while searching the display stalls. At the beginning, didn’t I just want to buy a gift for my girlfriend?
He looked at the gift that he had put into the bag, and then at the hand that was about to throw the doll in.
"Brother, don't you want to buy more? The discount is limited to one day, and the wholesale price is discounted!" the shop owner enthusiastically promoted.
Hey, let’s just buy more gifts for a few friends! In this way, it would not be strange for him to give Tasia a gift.
As a result, Wayne happily continued to immerse himself in the joy of shopping. When the purchase finally came to an end, the bag he was carrying was already filled to the brim.
Under the warm farewell from the shop owner on the other side, Wayne left the last store with satisfaction.
"Huh? Wayne, why are you here?" I heard a familiar voice. She has a soft voice and the tone of her voice makes you feel that she must be very gentle.
Wayne's steps faltered.
"Ah, it's Tasia." After saying this, he got stuck. Tasia looked at his strange attire at the moment, and asked a little funny: "Why are you dressed like this... Is it the legendary Old Man Wish?" According to the ancient legend in the Lownes area, if a person If the child is well-behaved and lucky enough, the wishful man will secretly carry a gift bag in the middle of the night and deliver the gift he wants to his pillow.
Wayne suddenly didn't know what to say.
"I...it's a long story." He covered it up awkwardly, then seemed to remember something and took off the bag from his back.
"By the way, Tasia, I just wanted to give you a gift, and it's such a coincidence that I met you now." Seeing that her expression became hesitant, as if she wanted to refuse, Wayne immediately cut off the conversation: " I have prepared them for many friends.”
"Tasia is also my important friend, so please don't refuse!" He handed her an extremely cute white doll.
Wayne's tone sounded sincere. Upon hearing this, Tasia subconsciously glanced at his large bag of various exquisite gifts.
"Then...well, as a friend, I will accept this gift." She took the doll. The moment she touched the soft fabric, she smiled brightly.
Looking at her, Wayne couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and he wanted to rub the back of his head in embarrassment.
However, when his fingers were about to reach behind his ears, his posture seemed to be holding the pause button and stopped moving.
That's not right... I wore a mask and changed my clothes. How could Tasia still recognize me at a glance in the crowd?
Wayne glanced at her hesitantly. Then, he slowly took off the mask from his face and asked, seemingly unintentionally: "Is Tasia so impressed by me?"
"I'm really ashamed... I'm not even sure I can recognize Tasia who is disguised." ぷ999小@说First release ΘmΘm (Mobile Baidu search [My sister is a villainous daughter + new book] Mobile Reading click to turn pages, eye protection. Power saving. Data saving function)
