The body of the man, or rather Giant in front of me flinched a little before he smiled with closed eyes and scratched the back of his head.
"Ah, sorry to disturb you. It seems that she's already a Magical Girl. I never thought to meet another Giant in this place."
Another Giant?
Did he mistake me for Giant because I used my earring to transform me to look like a Human?
I knew that Independent Magical Girl's real body was my Magical Girl form. It was closer to Giant, sure. Because there were three cores needed to change a human's body to be able to wield Magia.
First was a core of the Beast that will become our source power. In my case, it was a Nine-headed snake, often known as Hydra.
The second core was obtained from Magical Girl, it was their wand. Because I played New Game+ while creating Zmeya, I choose the wand that was given by the Biggest Giant, Titan. Titan had yet to choose his Magical Girl this time around, but she will appear in the future.
The third core would be Giant's core itself. The Giant's core will rebuild Independent Magical Girl's body to be able to wield Magia.
Of course, my body base was that of Titan, the strongest Giant.
'When I think about it again, I was such a cheat existence.'
That was the reason why Independent Magical Girl could only make a contract 3 times in their life. I bet the Giant in front of me felt the contract between me and Zayats and mistaken it as Giant's Magical Girl's usual contract.
"To be honest, This one never expected to meet a Giant too. You are trying to find a Girl fit to be your Magical Girl?"
I changed my tone to one that I used in my true form. It was really embarrassing, but I must put up with this right now or he will find out.
If he realized that I was just a Magical Girl that made a contract with another Magical Girl, I didn't know what he will do.
My Elixir was still on the Auction's inventory. I can't do anything stupid that will make me lose the Elixir.
"Yes, I feel a girl who fit to be a Magical Girl from this room so I went to check it. I'm really sorry to disturb you."
"Umu, This one had claimed her first." I put my hand over Zayats's waist and pulled her closer. She was confused with what happened, but she kept silent all the time earlier.
"M-Master?" Zayats let out a surprised sound and looked at me while her hands were moving around.
"I can see that." The Giant in front of me smiled at me while putting his hands on his hips.
"Well then, if you don't mind, excuse This one. This one had a lot of plans, so This one can't keep you company."
Fortunately, the Giant in front of me was reasonable. He nodded his head and extended his right hand.
"Very well, but allow me to introduce myself. My name is Night, nice to meet you."
I took his hand and shook it.
"This one is known as Hydra."
Of course, I didn't use my real name, I was not stupid.
Although I can defeat Giant, getting the attention of one was troublesome and I wanted to avoid that.
"Hoo- So you are Hydra. It seems I met a bigshot right of the bat. To think you will take the name of one of the strongest Beast."
He pulled his hand away and his smile turned into a wry smile.
Hydra was one of the strongest Beasts, and Giant usually only took their name from Elements or the source of their power.
If there was a Giant who took the name of a strong Beast that ruled over a specific power, that meant, that Giant was confident with their strength.
"Kukuku, of course. Well then, This one will excuse herself."
I walked away with Zayats still in my arm. She didn't look back at the Giant.
"Haa-"
After we were out of his sight, I heard Zayats let out a sigh and released my hand.
"Master… why did you pretended to be a Giant in front of him?"
"To avoid some trouble. Fighting a Giant would be fun, but that means I will not be able to take my Elixir. A fight against a Giant usually destroys a city or two, so I wanted to avoid it for now."
I smiled as I walked downstairs with Zayats. My mood was good, so I didn't really mind my encounter with the Giant, Night.
We went to the receptionist and she greeted me with a tone full of enthusiasm.
"Congratulations! You are here to get your Magipot, right?"
I put my hands on my waist and nodded my head.
"Umu, bring it to me. You can get the money from my account, right?"
"Yes, certainly. Please give me your VIP Card, I will change it to a membership card right away."
"Take care of it. Put the remaining money in that card too."
I pulled the card that she gave me before the auction to her and she took it with both of her hands.
"Please wait for a while. It will be done in less than a minute!"
The receptionist began to work with a fast hand. I was amazed and let out a sound.
"Ooh!"
Zayats who stood beside me was also amazed by her speed. As she said, the process only took around 30 seconds.
She gave me a different card with my name written in gold on top of it. The card was white in color with gold lining.
On the back of the card was a black crown logo with Spectra written below the crown.
At first glance, the one who saw this card will know that this was a luxurious card.
"Also, this is the Magipot that you won in the auction."
The receptionist brought out a fray with 3 bottles of Elixir on top of it. I grinned and opened my mirror inventory by swinging my right hand.
"Thank you."
I threw the Elixir inside my inventory and then dismissed it.
"Please come back again! Spectra Auction will welcome you warmly!"
We exited the auction house and I looked at the sky. The sun was not turned off yet, but I felt like the auction lasted for a while.
The next event will happen in around two weeks. And I have yet to get my hand on that ingredients.
I thought that the Spectra Auction House in this city will have that thing, but it seems I was wrong.
"Hmm what should we do?" I muttered while crossing my arm.
"Master, if you don't mind, can I go to someplace?"
"Hmm?" I looked at Zayats and saw her making a cute gesture. She was looking down while her hands were moving restlessly in front of her face.
"You see, Master. I-I wanted to watch a movie…"
Hoho, a movie?
"I see, shall we go then. It's been a long time since I watch a movie too."
Zayats's face brightened and she clapped her hands happily.
"Yes, Master!"
'Well, having fun by watching a movie is not that bad too. Besides, in the dark theatre... fufufu, I can do anything I want! Time to release my desire!'
