The Fool's joy of getting things for free

"May I ask why?"

"Justice," Audrey's eyes flickered slightly as she pressed for an answer.

As a "Spectator," she could clearly sense Fors's attraction, which made her even more aware of why he rejected her.

"Uh..." Fors somewhat surprised by Miss Audrey's question.

"Don't misunderstand, I'm just being kind." "Justice," Audrey quickly explained, smiling slightly, "It seems you value it quite a bit."

"Um!"

Fors vigorously, thought for a moment, and said, "Actually, there's no particular reason. It's a gift for my Advancement ' Trickmaster '."

She had previously sought help from the Tarot Club because of her teacher's situation.

Apart from "The Moon" and "The Hermit" who joined later, everyone else knew their own Pathway and had consumed two doses of "Apprentice" Potion.

Therefore, since they didn't know each other in real life, she didn't feel the need to hide the fact that she was a "Trickmaster".

Silence is the Gray Fog of today.

Upon hearing the answer, the members of the Tarot Club all wore strange expressions.

Advancement Sequence 8... Let alone Sequence 8, I didn't receive any gifts when I Advancement "Faceless," not even a single person offered a congratulatory blessing...

"The Fool," Klein thought to himself with a self-deprecating smile, when suddenly an idea struck him.

On the day he Advancement "Magician", he pulled the "Magician" lady onto the Above the Gray Fog, thus gaining a "Blessed" for free.

Could this be considered a gift from her? He quipped to himself, trying to find humor in the situation.

The gift... "The Hanged Man" Alger inexplicably thought of the extremely gruesome death of Qilingus, and his expression became complicated in an instant.

Noble Sanguine don't have as many formalities as humans... And on the day I came of age, my parents gave me a doll... It was a masterpiece I had wanted for a long time, no less valuable than a broken Mirrors... Thinking of this, "Moon" Emlyn unconsciously straightened his back.

"The Sun" Derrick pursed his lips and lowered his head.

If I remember correctly, "Trickmaster" should be Sequence 8 of the "Gate" Pathway; Advancement Sequence 8, and I can still receive a gift?

The "Hermit" Cattleya sighed inwardly and began to scrutinize the "Magician" again.

The young woman, dressed in a long dress in bright colors such as orange or yellow, has a slightly Loen air about her. Her posture is much more relaxed than the other members, with one hand resting on the Bronze Long Table and the other supporting her chin. She yawns from time to time, as if she might lie down to rest at any moment.

To be so casual in front of someone who seems to be an ancient being, she must have an amazing background... Cattleya guessed in her heart.

With her extensive experience Pirate Admiral, having traveled all over the country over the years, she had never heard of anyone Advancement Sequence 8 and receiving gifts.

In her opinion, there was only one exception.

But revealing this person's identity would be enough to cause a major upheaval, both in the Real World and in the world of Mysticism.

Gifts for Sequence Advancement... I've never received one... I wonder if Mom and Dad are planning to get me one... I really envy Fors, she's both a member of our Tarot Club and a student of an ancient family... "Justice" Audrey's eyes flickered as she looked at her friend:

You have a good teacher.

Teacher... The new members "Moon" and "Hermit" simultaneously caught the key word and secretly guessed the origin of each other's teachers.

At this moment, Fors made an "uh" sound and shook his head, saying:

"No, the teacher's gift is another Main Ingredient for Advancement Sequence 7, and I haven't received it yet. This Sealed Artifact Self..."

She paused briefly, her face slightly flushed, and said, "Friend."

I think I can smell the cloying stench of romance... Ha, a friend? I'd love to have a dozen friends like that, thank you... Two dozen would be fine too...

Klein started mentally ranting, when suddenly a question occurred to him.

This is Tarot Club!

uuɡu. First update, no typos. You won't see the pinyin suffix in the address input. You can then access the first update site.

A Concealment and extraordinary gathering under the watchful eye of the God!

How did the topic veer off to this point?

"Justice," Audrey exclaimed, "Another Main Ingredient?"

Klein was taken aback, secretly marveling at the keen observation of the "Spectator," realizing he hadn't even noticed this small detail.

"Yes, because he gave me the first Main Ingredient when I was still an ' Apprentice '," Fors said proudly.

She wasn't trying to show off; she was simply answering the question about "Justice."

But it's clear that everyone's mindset has been affected.

"I shouldn't have said that..." "Justice" Audrey looked around and saw that the members of the Tarot Club were all in low spirits, and couldn't help but feel annoyed.

But at this moment, she discovered another problem.

I've only Advancement "Psychiatrist" for a short time. If things continue like this, wouldn't Fors catch up with me very quickly?

She didn't mean to be jealous of her friend.

Being chased and surpassed will always make you feel a little uncomfortable.

Hmm... not really. At least Fors still needs to digest the "Trickmaster" Potion. Maybe I can Advancement to Sequence 6 during this time...

"Come on, Audrey..." "Justice" cheered herself on in her heart.

Seated at the head of the weathered long table, "The Fool" Klein glanced at "The Hanged Man" Alger, who usually worked seamlessly with him, and noticed that the latter seemed a bit out of sorts today. Reluctantly, he had to personally control the "World" dummy to cough. "Gentlemen, shouldn't we continue? This is the Tarot Club."

A single word awakened me from my dream.

"..."

After he finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but look at each other in bewilderment.

Of course, the most attention was focused on Fors.

Why are you looking at me...? I'm just here to appraise God. Okay, I admit I have a desire to show off and share happiness, but it's definitely only a tiny bit...

Fors, trembling, turned to look at the head of the mottled long table:

"I apologize, Mr. Fool, for taking up your valuable time because of my matter. I am willing to pay the price of ten pages of Roselle's Diary."

Is this alright for you?

Huh? He just got ten pages of the diary for free? Klein was slightly taken aback.

He didn't think the responsibility lay solely with the "Magician"; everyone present was implicated, since the magician had immediately declared he would "appraise Sealed Artifact."

At most, it can be considered a starting point.

To everyone's surprise, she took the blame herself.

This is a good member... If everyone were like her, how Tarot Club not flourish... and your "Fool" Mr. could also recover quickly...

Amidst a flurry of thoughts, Klein chuckled and nodded.

"Good."

Upon hearing this, Fors breathed a sigh of relief and looked around again:

"Since this matter arose because of me, everyone should receive some form of compensation. In future transactions, I will offer a discount depending on the circumstances."

After saying this, with the help of the "Fool," she conjured a pair of Gold-Rimmed Glasses: "This is the first Sealed Artifact I'm going to sell."
