"So that's how it is…" Yuki said to herself, she then looked at the Flute again before looking back at the old man with a smile. This time Yuki pulled up her hood and asked the old man again.
"I don't think I heard you right. how much is it again?" Yuki asked with a smile which caused a shiver to the old man.
He now realised that the person he was trying to scam is a SS Class Adventurer.
"I'm sorry dear customer, I must have gone senile. It's only 50,000 Contribution Points." The old man finally said the real price of the Flute.
"Good. Then how shall I pay?" Yuki lowered her hood back again to not attract any attention.
"Just scan your Guild I.D into this machine and it's automatically going to reduce your points." He answered.
"Alright." Yuki then inserted her Guild I.D into it just like a credit card back on Earth.
When the transaction was done, Yuki took a peek at her Contribution Points to see if the old man was telling the truth, and was not lying.
Contribution Points - 1,450,000
"I'll take my leave now. Remember, don't try to scam other people again." Yuki warns before finally leaving.
Finally the old man can finally breathe normally again after Yuki left his shop, it was extremely nerve racking for him. He was trying to scam a person that just defeated 100 of the Strongest S Class, of course he didn't want to die as he still wanted to live his life happily while he still can.
Yuki admires the area a bit more before going back to her room and looking at the Flute that she bought. When Yuki used her "All Seeing Eye" Ayame was extremely happy to the point that she even started to jump like a little girl.

[The host is extremely lucky! It's a soulless weapon, meaning you can manifest your own spirit to it. The benefits of doing this are great because the Spirit will be naturally stronger as it's created by the host!] Ayame answered excitedly.
"Really, then I should do this quickly then. Let's not waste anymore time and make ourselves a brand new Spirit of this Flute!" Yuki said in joy, she then looked at the Flute once again with sparkling eyes and asked Fubuki for the instructions on how to do it.
[I recommend for the host to do this in an isolated area, as things can get dangerous if it fails, and also the procedures can be destructive.] Ayame advised.
"Alright then. But I should ask Aria or Rory first, since I don't know this place anyway." Yuki then once again wandered the area to look for either Aria or Rory.
Five minutes into her search, she is still unable to find both of them. When Yuki entered the garden, she was surprised to see a field of flowers. There were a ton of varieties in it, there were even some that Yuki didn't know among them.
Then just as she was about to continue her walk, she was approached by some armoured men.
"Hello, Miss Yuki. I'm Clove, I'm the personal bodyguard for Princess Lian." Clove introduces himself to Yuki.
"K." Yuki took a glance at him for a second before looking back at the garden.
Clove and the other two were surprised at Yuki's nonchalant attitude towards them, normally people will be excited to meet them and even build some connections, but this is the first time they see an attitude like Yuki.
Their Pride hurt, as a personal bodyguard for the Princess is already a privilege for them.
But keeping his professionalism, Clove took a deep breath and asked Yuki nicely. Even though it's most likely an order since it's from the Royal Family that no one can disobey.
"Princess Lian would like to meet you, please follow me Miss Yuki." Clove said as she gestures his hand to follow him.
But instead of following, Yuki flat out rejected them and said.
"No, I'm busy. Let's do it another time." Yuki then walked past them not caring about them anymore.
Clove's body trembled at Yuki's attitude towards them, especially to the Princess. It was a great pleasure for everyone to be invited by the Princess herself, and Yuki just rejected her without batting an eye.
Finally Clove's patience reached the limit, he then reached out his hand and held Yuki's arm to stop her.
"Who the hell do you think you are to reject the kindness of our Princess! Do you think you're some sort of high person just because you became an SS Class Adventurer!" Clove yelled at Yuki.
"I'll count to three, if you don't let go of my arm I'll cut it off." Yuki said in a chilling tone.
"1!"
But instead of getting scared, Clove even got angrier.
"You're really arrogant for a commoner!"
"2, 3." Yuki holds his arms back and freezes them instantly. Yuki then tightened her grip into it until it cracked and finally exploded into dust.
"Ahhh!!" Clove held his hand and stared at Yuki with visible fear in his eye.
"You're very lucky that this is the only thing I did." Yuki coldly looked at them.
The only reason that Yuki freezes his arm instead of cutting it, is that Yuki doesn't want to cover the flower field with blood as it would look ugly and will smell of blood, and it most likely ruin Yuki's mood even more.
"What is happening here?" Suddenly three women that Yuki is familiar with appeared in front of her.
"Princess please save us, she wanted to kill us!" Clove and the other two immediately fled and hid behind Princess Lian's back.
"Tell me what happened here so that I can know." Princess Lian asked while looking at her guards.
Feeling hope, Clove quickly got on his knees despite being in pain and glared at Yuki.
"We were just inviting Miss Yuki here just as you told, but then she suddenly attacked me! Please bring us justice." Clove said with a smug face towards Yuki.
"Is this true Miss Yuki?" Princess Lian turns towards Yuki alongside Aria and Katsumi.
Rory and Yumie was currently absent as they are still training, as for Katsumi she is already finished and decided to come along with Aria.
Minutes before Yuki had destroyed Clove's hand, they were having a nice tea when suddenly Katsumi saw that Yuki was also in the garden.
"Auntie look, it's Mom." Katsumi pointed towards Yuki, Aria and the Princess also take a look to see Yuki looking at the garden.
"I'll invite her here." Princess Lian said.
Princess Aria turns towards Clove and orders him to invite Yuki here, and that was a disaster strike.
"Ask this guy. Aria where can I find an isolated area where people don't go, specifically a deserted area?" Yuki asked straight to the point.
"What?" Aria was dumbfounded, she expected Yuki to answer the Princess's question but instead she was the one who got asked.
"I said, where can I find an Isolated place in this palace?" Yuki asked again.
"You! Why are you being disrespectful in front of the Royal Family!? Do you know the consequences of offending them!?" Clove roared.
"So, does it look like it matter to me? It looks like you're busy Aria, then I'll just look for Rory then." Yuki then prepared herself to leave, her temper was slowly going down as she stayed here longer because of the arrogant guards here.
"Please wait, Miss Yuki. Don't leave yet" Princess Lian quickly said before Yuki could leave.
