I Am Not Really Related

Chapter 498: Biscuit

Biscuit's thoughts started to become perverted, filled solely with content that was rated 18+.

But since it was all in her head, it went unnoticed by the river crab deity, and the protagonist also narrowly avoided this unwarranted disaster.

"This guy... so handsome!"

Biscuit touched her own rapidly changing heartbeat.

Then she heard the other party say in surprise, "Kid, what's wrong with you? Are you sick? Your face is so red."

Kid! Friend!

Initially hating to be called an old lady the most, Biscuit suddenly felt that making herself look too young wasn't good.

Then her eyes widened!

073 [Dark Jade]!

076 [Lost Ruby]!

And 079 [Rainbow Diamond]! Ah, Haru~ has pulled out four gem cards that made Biscuit unable to look away!

So much so that even Biscuit's eyes turned gem-like.

I want them!

Biscuit lunged forward and, with a piaji sound, fell to the ground.

"Give it to me, and I want it."

Seeing that playing dumb and forcibly taking them didn't work, Biscuit quickly started to act cute.

Don't say this appearance was enough to deceive otakus like Elena into going around in circles.

However, Haru, who knew Biscuit's proper form, naturally wouldn't jump into this pit.

He felt nothing for a nearly 60-year-old muscular woman begging to be spared.

Then Haru saw that the gem cards were all put back into the [book], leaving only the [Lost Ruby].

"I have two of these, so if you like it, let's trade. I can take a loss and only ask for your No. 004 [Beautiful Skin Hot Spring] and No. 023 [Impromptu Book]. You're getting a bargain."

Just as Biscuit was about to nod, she suddenly felt something was off!

Why are you trading one for two of mine, yet I'm getting a bargain?

Speaking of which, both [Lost Ruby] and [Impromptu Book] are difficult to acquire. It should be a one-for-one trade.

The difficulty level to acquire [Beautiful Skin Hot Spring] is A!

And its effects are amazing!

It can solve any skin problem. Soaking for thirty minutes daily will make your skin as smooth as a baby's.

It's excellent and worth a possession. After all, it allows for offline reading!

Biscuit had personally experienced this effect!

I almost got fooled, damn it!

We used a beauty trap!

Haru: "Get lost! I didn't do anything!"

"No way! [Lost Ruby] can at most only be traded for [Impromptu Book] unless you bring out another gem card of A difficulty level, then I can give you [Beautiful Skin Hot Spring]."

Although nearly falling for the opponent's beauty trap from her perspective, Biscuit finally regained her senses.

Haru stroked his chin and said, "I don't have an A difficulty level, but there are still many gem cards."

After saying that, he opened the [book] again, taking out all the gem cards that could only be exchanged for money.

And although these gem cards didn't have any fantastic effects, within the realm of gems, each was a precious item!

Simply two words: 'shiny shiny' flashing non-stop!

Beautiful!

As a two-star gem hunter, Biscuit's eyes immediately couldn't move away. What should she do if she wanted them?

Probably seeing through Biscuit's desire, Haru reluctantly said, "Sigh, I'll take a loss. These gems worth several hundred thousand are yours in exchange for your [Beautiful Skin Hot Spring] and [Wine Spring]."

This price would also be fair if exchanged for one of the cards.

But the problem is some things can't be judged by price.

Biscuit started to struggle immensely, but in the end, she couldn't resist the temptation of these gems and swallowed her saliva, saying, "These gems are indeed beautiful, but for others, they can only be exchanged for money. So I can only give you [Beautiful Skin Hot Spring]."

In fact, by this step, Haru's original goal had already been achieved.

[Impromptu Book] and [Beautiful Skin Hot Spring] were in hand!

As for the already owned [Wine Spring], it didn't matter anymore. 

Here's the translated text with Japanese naming preserved:

Holding onto the thought that it's cheap and doesn't take much effort, Haru decisively raised the price again, insisting that Biscuit add something extra, much like a mother at the market fighting with words to get a bunch of spring onions thrown in for free when buying potatoes.

Indeed, everyone ends up becoming the very thing they once despised. Oh well...

In the end, it's unclear whether Biscuit was annoyed or truly fell for Haru's charm, but not only did she exchange the "Improvised Book" and "Beauty Spring" with Haru, but she also threw in a "God of Gambling's Egg."

It's said that one can hatch the God of Gambling from it...

At that moment, Haru wanted to ask, "Is that you? Brother Fa!"

If lucky, this item can be easily obtained, so it's not highly valued.

But now that he has it, he doesn't have to gamble on his luck.

Harvest time!

Then, Haru 'accidentally' clicked on a "Theft" card.

Oh dear!

Look at this mess; the "Lost Ruby" he just traded away was stolen by him.

"What are you doing?!" Biscuit was shocked!

She hadn't left yet, and he was stealing right before her.

Was he completely disregarding her?

"Ah, haha, sorry, sorry, it was just instinctual. Let's go."

Biscuit: "..."

Go?

Go, your mom!

"Give me back my card, damn it!" The explosive loli jumped up and punched Haru in the knee.

Then Haru yelped while simultaneously playing a "Pickpocket" card, followed by a final "Robbery" card!

Players usually have a few defense cards on hand to ward off attacks from curse cards.

But the problem is, those are only sold in the magic city of Mashadora and are limited edition.

Worse still, Biscuit's defense cards had been ultimately used up by the guy she was 'hunting' earlier, and she had yet to have a chance to replenish them.

So...

Haru suddenly had two more cards in his hand.

077 "Emerald of Charm"!

The bearer of this gem attracts numerous admirers, and your presence will radiate a dazzling charm, commanding respect.

064 "Witch's Love Potion"!

Place this potion in your mouth and feed it to the person you desire; they will become captivated by you. One dose lasts a week, and one bottle contains five hundred doses.

Damn!

Another shipment is gone!

While "Witch's Love Potion" is only a B-level difficulty to obtain, the "Emerald of Charm" is an S-level rarity!

Haru was surprised at how Biscuit managed to get this card.

But there is a better time to ponder this.

Because the pseudo-loli in front of him has already started to turn dark...

Stolen in a row were three specific cards, including two gem-type cards, which undoubtedly pushed Biscuit's patience to the limit!

"Go to hell, bastard!"

Starting with the initial stance of the Haru style, she threw a punch!

The whole room exploded like an RPG; a complete mess hit it, but Haru took this force and broke through the window to escape!
