After making arrangements with Yukino Yukinoshita, Qin Chuan put away his phone and then noticed that all the girls around him were staring intently at him.
"Qin Chuan, it's very impolite of you to be talking on the phone with other girls while sitting with so many of them."
Ichiji Nijika puffed out her cheeks, making an angry face, and said this to Qin Chuan.
Of course, Qin Chuan could tell that Ichiji Nijika was just pretending to be angry, and that her words were mostly just teasing.
"Sorry, sorry, but it wouldn't be appropriate not to answer the phone."
Qin Chuan replied with a smile, after all, Yukino Yukinoshita hadn't sent a message, but called, so he couldn't just ignore it.
...... ..... ...
"But there will always be a punishment."
Yamada Ryo, who was standing to the side, nodded seriously and said to Qin Chuan.
"As punishment, you'll have to treat us to snacks every day for the rest of the month."
"Isn't this just a case of wanting to freeload?"
Sitting next to Qin Chuan, Goto Ichiri couldn't help but make a comment—although she was socially awkward, Goto Ichiri, who frequented the internet, was still quite good at making sarcastic remarks.
Although she shrank back to Qin Chuan after making her rant, she probably suddenly realized that her rant about others was a bit too much.
Despite Yamada Ryo's expression, she seemed completely unfazed by Goto Ichiri's sarcastic remark, and instead replied quite seriously:
"What's wrong with freeloading? Anyway, A-Chuan has money."
"Even if you're rich, you can't keep treating people like this..."
Kita Ikuyo looked a little embarrassed. As someone who was very comfortable with being around people, she knew very well that constantly taking advantage of other people's kindness would easily cause them to feel disgusted.
Not everyone has the thick skin of Yamada Ryo.
Of course, for Qin Chuan, this amount of money was nothing at all:
“Treating people is no problem… but I sometimes have things to do after school and can’t come here every day. How about Huilai treats them? I’ll just pay for it.”
As he spoke, Qin Chuan winked at Kato Megumi beside him.
"Eh? Me?"
Kato Megumi paused for a moment, then, seeing the gazes directed at her, gave a helpless smile.
"Well... that's fine then. Please take care of me from now on."
Chapter 205 The Price of the Doomsday Horn
After leaving Shimokitazawa, Qin Chuan also embarked on his journey home.
However, on his way home, when he passed by Gabriel's apartment building, Qin Chuan was surprised to find a familiar figure standing by the roadside.
It wasn't Gabriel, but her friend Winette—judging from her appearance, she'd probably been standing there for a long time.
"Vinette, what are you doing standing there?"
Upon seeing an acquaintance, Qin Chuan naturally greeted him.
Although Winette and he had only met once, and even their exchange of contact information was due to Winette's distrust of Qin Chuan and her desire to monitor him, it was only because she did so.
However, after exchanging contact information, Qin Chuan did not receive any contact from Winette all day.
It's unclear whether she lowered her guard around Qin Chuan or simply didn't dare to text boys.
"Qin Chuan!"
Upon hearing Qin Chuan's voice, Winette's body trembled, and she quickly ran over and stood in front of Qin Chuan.
"I'm here to see you!"
"Looking for me? What's up?"
Qin Chuan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Vinette's very serious expression.
"Did you buy a horn-like artifact from Gabriel before?"
Vinet nervously gestured the shape of a horn with her hands, then asked Qin Chuan.
"Do you still have that thing? Could you let us buy it back?"
So that's how it is. Qin Chuan immediately understood—Vinette had come for the Doomsday Horn that Gabriel had sold him.
Vignette and Gabriel have a good relationship. Although she often complains, Vignette even has a key to Gabriel's house and will come over from time to time to help Gabriel clean her room.
Otherwise, given Gabriel's laziness, her room would probably be more than just "messy" as Qin Chuan saw; it would likely have turned into a garbage dump.
It's estimated that Vignette came to clean Gabriel's room again and then discovered that Gabriel's Doomsday Horn was missing.
After asking around, she learned from Gabriel that she had actually sold the Doomsday Horn to Qin Chuan for the price of a set of enhanced equipment. Only then did she wait for Qin Chuan to come over by the roadside.
After all, that wasn't just any ordinary horn; it was proof of Gabriel's superior angelic destiny, a horn that could bring about the end of the world.
Although Qin Chuan is not an angel and blowing the horn would be of no use, Vinette clearly cannot allow such a dangerous substance to fall into the hands of ordinary humans.
Oh... Qin Chuan doesn't seem to be an ordinary human, but that won't do!
“Vinette, it’s not that I don’t want to sell it back to you, but do you know how much that enhanced equipment is worth?”
Qin Chuan looked at Winette's tense expression, shrugged helplessly, and then said to her.
"Don't underestimate those data sets; they were all built with real money, and the price wasn't low."
"How...how much?"
Vinette was stunned. She knew nothing about online games and naturally couldn't understand how much money some game companies could arbitrarily modify data could be worth.
Qin Chuan leaned close to her ear and whispered a number.
When Qin Chuan suddenly leaned close to her ear, Winette's face flushed red, as if she was a little uncomfortable with such close contact with a boy.
But upon hearing the number Qin Chuan announced, the blush on Vinette's face vanished instantly, replaced by a pale expression.
"What...? So expensive!? That Gabriel girl...!!!"
Sure enough, Winette was shocked when she heard the astronomical figure Qin Chuan quoted. She never expected that the equipment in the game Gabriel played would cost so much money.
"This is still a low price, because the enhancement of some equipment depends a lot on luck. If you're unlucky, the price can be several times higher."
Qin Chuan said calmly, but to Winette it sounded like the whisper of a devil.
Although Winette herself is a demon from hell.
Qin Chuan certainly couldn't hand over the Doomsday Horn to Vinette, but what Qin Chuan said wasn't a lie.
The set of enhanced equipment made for Gabriel really cost a lot of money, an outrageous sum even for an adult.
Moreover, what about high school students like Gabriel and Winette? The living expenses that Heaven and Hell give them would not exceed the range of high school students.
Even so, should we still buy it?
"I...I'll discuss it with the others."
Vinette's expression immediately softened...
She originally thought that Qin Chuan bought it as a craft item and it wouldn't cost much money.
But reality always surprises her; she underestimated the money-making ability of game companies.
However, Winette wasn't the kind of parent who was unreasonable and wouldn't make a fuss about things like, "How could some data be so expensive? You must be lying to me."
After learning the prices of those game items, the first thing that came to Winette's mind was how to earn money to buy the horn back.
However, this was clearly not something she could do alone, so she decided to discuss it with several other people from Heaven and Hell.
Gabriel will definitely not let this go. To put it bluntly, she's the one who caused this whole mess, and she doesn't seem to care about the Doomsday Horn at all.
In their school, there is also an angel named Raphael from heaven and a demon named Satania from hell, and Vinette plans to ask them both for help.
"Keep trying. If you really can't raise the money, you can come to me."
Qin Chuan patted Winette's head and said to her.
If Winette really can't earn enough money, then Qin Chuan could offer her some help.
Help Vinette awaken her Stand, then have her do some work for the Shinomiya family—the Shinomiya family probably won't be stingy with their money.
Even if Winette managed to raise the money, she wouldn't be able to buy back the Doomsday Horn. Thinking about this, Qin Chuan felt like he was being a bit wicked.
It's unclear whether we'll be able to find a way to make "Blackbird" spit out what it has eaten, since it hasn't used some of its abilities for a long time after consuming them.
If you spit it out, it might be reused.
"I understand……"
Vinette wasn't in a good mood. She sighed, bowed politely to Qin Chuan, and then turned and walked into the apartment building.
Clearly, she wasn't planning to go home now, but rather to go back to Gabriel's house.
It seems Gabriel is going to get a good scolding. I wonder if she'll be able to play games normally after Qin Chuan gets home.
However, Vinnie has a good personality, so she probably won't physically punish Gabriel... at most she'll give her a verbal reprimand.
Chapter 206 It's Time to Change the Bed
"Ah Chuan, welcome back~"
Upon returning home, Qin Chuan was immediately embraced by Irisviel.
Qin Chuan's head was held against Irisviel's soft chest, giving him a taste of what it felt like to bury his head in her chest.
Perhaps because of the previous mana replenishment, Qin Chuan and Irisviel's relationship suddenly became much closer.
If Irisviel's previous polite attitude towards Qin Chuan was merely out of gratitude for saving her life, now she practically treats him like family.
For a homunculus who had spent a long time in the Einzbern castle and felt no kinship except for Illyasviel, Qin Chuan could almost be considered her second family.
Although this "close" relationship might be a little unusual.
"How was your day? Did Alice cause any trouble?"
Qin Chuan remained in Irisviel's arms, looking at Ogiwara Sayu behind her.
Compared to Irisviel, an android who lacks common sense, it would be more appropriate for 21 to ask Sayu Ogiwara.
"Nothing happened. Although Miss Alice is very curious about many things, she didn't cause too much of a disturbance."
Ogiwara Saya said with a smile. Judging from her relaxed expression, it seemed that Irisviel had indeed not caused any problems.
After all, although Irisviel was also naive in the original work, she didn't cause too much trouble when she strolled around the streets with Artoria.
Qin Chuan wasn't worried about Irisviel and Ogiwara Sayu encountering any danger, since Irisviel was now filled with the magic he had injected into her.
Irisviel herself is a magician, and if she encounters real danger, she can use magic to deal with her enemies.
"We bought a lot of new clothes, all kinds of them."
Irisviel hugged Qin Chuan, brought her lips close to Qin Chuan's ear, and whispered something.
"I can wear it for you tonight."
Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan raised an eyebrow, looking at the smiling Irisviel and the slightly blushing Ogiwara Sayu behind her.
Although both of them had shared a bed with Qin Chuan, it was unexpected that Irisviel, the newcomer, was more open-minded.
Perhaps it was due to a lack of common sense that Irisviel became even less ashamed after accepting Qin Chuan.
However, since Irisviel has provoked us like this, it seems we really need to teach her a lesson tonight.
……
Angel of Salvation: "I got a really bad scolding from Vinette."
Sure enough, after dinner and washing up, Qin Chuan returned to his room and opened the online game, only to see Gabriel pouring out her troubles to him in a private chat.
Her character is dressed in a gorgeous white robe adorned with gold trim that looks incredibly valuable, clearly a priest who can both fight and heal.
This is the equipment she got yesterday after selling the Doomsday Horn—I wonder what the Celestials think when they find out that their top student sold the Doomsday Horn just to get a bunch of data.
In fact, Qin Chuan could have even sent "Blackbird·Red Pepper" to infiltrate the game company's server and modify the data yesterday, which would have saved them money.
But it was precisely because Qin Chuan had considered the possibility of something like this happening that he honestly spent money on in-game purchases, so that he could shut up Vinette with real money.
