"The four-leaf clover…"
The night is when the festival begins.
To celebrate the birth of the sprout king, the Nelstan shopping street has started to revel. The shopping street at night is diverse, the market is bustling with music, people are busy with various activities, including calls from roadside snack stalls, creating a lively atmosphere.
A girl wearing a priest robe, with black hair cascading like a waterfall, is wandering around the commercial street. With the festival beginning, she's hoping to get some good deals, so she's exchanged a few apples for this thing with Vivian, a four-leaf clover.
"Hope it brings you good luck. It's a present from Emily," said the short figure, Vivian.
"But I'm not very tall," thought the girl, Xiao Hei.
"Sisi, do you really think it's useful?"
Xiao Hei asked Celeste who shook her head to show her uncertainty.
"I shouldn’t have believed…" Just as Xiao Hei felt deceived, the four-leaf clover began to emit a faint glow.
"Could it be!" Xiao Hei looked excitedly at the four-leaf clover. Was good luck on the way?
And then…
Xiao Hei fell, tripped by someone.
"Hold on, don't step on me."
"Ouch" (HP-2, Stamina+1)
Fortunately, Sisi quickly pulled Xiao Hei up, avoiding any serious injury.
[Are you okay?] Celeste held up a small note.
"I'm fine, but Vivian may not be,"
"...." Celeste seemed to want to say something, but she wasn't sure what.
"Maybe we should just go for a normal shopping spree." Xiao Hei put the four-leaf clover in her backpack, not bothering with it anymore. The best way to relieve her frustration was to find something to eat.
“Sir, one skewer please.” Xiao Hei decided to enjoy it alone, as Sisi doesn't eat meat.
"Sorry, Sisi. I'll buy some pastries and fruits for you next."
Celeste didn't mind; she just looked a little worried holding up a small note.
[Is it fine to eat from street food stalls?]
"It'll be fine~ I've been here before, and besides, it's only one skewer..." The four-leaf clover in her backpack emitted a faint glow.
Before Xiao Hei could finish her sentence, her fair face turned pale. The food was less fresh than Xiao Hei had thought (Stamina-2) (Intelligence+1).
“I was wrong, I will never eat from a street stall again,”
She then passed a BBQ stall.
"I know what you're thinking Sisi, this BBQ smells so good, it must be fresh."
The young girl is eating.
"Um… my stomach hurts." Xiao Hei felt a wave of pain in her stomach, and Celeste worriedly touched Xiao Hei's head, who was squatting on the ground because she felt unwell.
In some respects, Xiao Hei wasn't wrong. The meat skewer was indeed fresh, but it was too fresh, it was raw… (Gains: Diarrhea) (Intelligence+1)
“This time, even if it's free, or someone shoves food into my mouth, or someone holds a knife to my throat, I won't eat again!”
…
"Why can't I resist?” (Gains: Poisoning) (Intelligence+1)
Xiao Hei slapped her face lightly.
Celeste covered her face with one hand, not knowing what to say anymore.
"You're such a cute little Elves, here is a gift for you," someone kind will give Celeste a little gift as Xiao Hei cleans herself up.
"Ah, a dragon saliva fruit."
[Thank you]
Seeing Sisi’s adorable, innocent smile, Xiao Hei was stunned, remembering why she came to the celebration. She slapped her face and cheered up.
"Sisi, let's go play over there." There's a fishing activity up ahead with lots of prizes.
She wanted to play and have fun, not thinking about getting a reward, but unexpectedly, she won a consolation prize.
(+2 silver, 22 copper)
"We can buy two more dragon saliva fruits, Sisi~ Seeing Celeste's cute drooling face made Xiao Hei feel like it was worth it, even if she was stepped on again.
Then she was really stepped on again. Even her backpack dropped to the ground, and everything inside fell out, including the four-leaf clover.
"This clover is still glowing." Xiao Hei felt more and more deceived. She remembered Vivian was also on the commercial street. "Just don't let me see her."
"Is Sisi alright... Where did you get this?" Xiao Hei looked at the item Celeste was holding.
【Foreboding of Theft】
Who gave this to my Sisi! I...it seems like Vivian? Wait a minute.
It really is that scoundrel!
"Sisi, give me the Foreboding of Theft."
Celeste seemed to know what Xiao Hei wanted to do, but didn't stop him.
"Vee~nee~" Celeste shivered at the sugar-coated address. Xiao Hei, with a clear ill intention, walked towards Vivian.
"Who called me? Ah~ it's Sisi, let me pet you."
"It's alright Sisi, I'm giving this to you!" Xiao Hei gripped Vivian's hand, stuffed the item into it, and then with Sisi in his arms, he sprinted 100 meters.
"Why would you give this to me?" Vivian asked as she saw the item clearly.
"Eh, where are they?" Only bustling crowd was in front, Xiao Hei and Sisi had already slipped away.
"I hope you get so robbed you end up in your underwear!"
