The Divine Potion and a Princess’s Envy

With no further bids, the [Holy Sword of Evil’s Bane] naturally fell into the hands of the young woman with long, aqua-blue hair.

“Next up is our final item of the evening—a divine potion accidentally concocted by our nation’s top alchemist: the Divine Potion of Breast Enhancement!”

“As for its effects, a single drop was enough to take a test subject from a B-cup to a D.”

“The alchemist, however, failed to record the formula, making this potion a finite and irreplaceable resource, which is why we refrained from further testing.”

“Whoa~!”

The entire hall erupted in cheers, immediately followed by a cacophony of excited speculation.

“What do you think would happen if someone drank the entire bottle? Would they turn into a dairy cow?”

“That would be an incredible waste. It ought to be diluted with water and resold.”

“I bet there’s a tolerance effect. The more you drink, the less pronounced the results become.”

“But even if the effect weakens, it’s still a consistent gain.”

Meanwhile, inside one of the VIP boxes…

“I’ve been waiting for this. I will have you! Just thinking of that wretched old crone’s face makes my skin crawl! I’ll make her suffer the same way! Hmph, hmph, hmph… Hahahaha…”

Her maid, her hair styled in low twintails, watched the white-haired girl’s monologue with a completely blank expression, her thoughts unreadable.

“Very well! The starting bid for this final divine potion is 30 million gold coins. Each raise must be at least one million. Let the bidding commence!”

“I bid 40 million gold!”

“I’ll bid 52 million! Say, why aren’t they selling it drop by drop?”

“I’ll go for 66,666,666 gold!”

“Is this some kind of new trend? Fine, I’ll go straight to 88,888,888 gold!”

“Have you all started playing games? Do you people not treat gold as actual money?”

“So this is what it’s like to be rich… They treat money like it’s dirt. So obscenely wealthy it’s inhuman…”

As the bids continued to climb, the white-haired girl in the VIP box began to panic. She quickly reached beneath her skirt and retrieved a dark gold card—her personal stash of funds.

I only have 50 million on me… Even with this, it only comes to 150 million in total…

To hell with it. I’ll just shout out a number to get my foot in the door.

“99,999,999 gold!”

When the bid just shy of one hundred million was announced, the room fell silent for a moment, as if everyone was weighing whether it was worth pushing the price into the nine-figure range. The white-haired girl saw this and breathed a small sigh of relief.

Hmph, is that all? They don’t even have the nerve to bid a hundred million. They’re not so impressive after all.

“110 million!”

Just as the white-haired girl began to relax, someone shattered the one-hundred-million barrier. She looked toward the source of the voice and saw a heavyset, middle-aged woman dripping with gold and jewels—unmistakably a wealthy matron.

“120 million!”

“140 million.”

The white-haired girl had planned to raise the bid by ten million to probe the matron’s limits, but her opponent immediately jumped by twenty million instead.

Her pockets run deep, she thought, feeling her control over the situation slipping. At this point, I have no choice but to go all in!

“150 million!”

“200 million.”

“…”

“I lost… sob… It’s been so long since I’ve wanted something this much… Why did I have to lose so utterly?”

“Your Excellency, I have another… less conventional… solution.”

“?”

“If we cannot acquire it through legitimate means, we will do so through other channels.” The maid with low twintails made a sharp gesture across her throat.

“Excellent. We’ll do just that!”

With no further bids for a long while, the divine potion was sold to the wealthy matron. Though many wondered why she would buy such a thing—her figure certainly didn’t seem to need it—no one dared to ask. The crowd began to disperse through the rear exits, each returning to their own homes.

The white-haired girl was no exception. As she passed by, Liyahiss found herself struck by the girl’s beauty and unusual hair color, and took the opportunity to discreetly inspect her:
