"It's eleven... It's already eleven!"
Dark suddenly started, then instinctively looked around.
The Magic Spirits that had been quietly going about their business all turned to look at him.
But after Dark's gaze swept across their faces, he still looked utterly bewildered.
"Really, nothing happened..."
"Then what did Professor Medea's warning mean?"
"Or did something really happen, and I just failed to notice it?"
"Or perhaps..."
He sat there thinking for quite some time. Then, remembering that today was the first day of April, he mechanically picked up the Magic Brain Dropper and extracted a drop of "Greed" from his mind.
After this Duel Festival, his "Greed" had indeed increased considerably.
"In any case, this month's primary goal is to refine 'Greed 3.' Everything else can be postponed."
"There are still 2 points of 'Greed' stored from last month. Adding today's 1.5 points makes 3.5 points."
"To gather the full 10 points, I'll need another five days."
"In other words, I can begin refining it next weekend."
After extracting it, Dark injected the drop of "Greed" into the Insect Branch. Then he sorted through today's gains and placed the models of DemiDevimon, Gatomon, and the Pure White Dragon Princess on the bookshelf.
As for the Troll model, he temporarily placed it in a drawer.

It sat cross-legged within its Magitech Card, still awake.
It felt deeply guilty about nearly being controlled by the Parasitic
