"LADIES OF PERFECTION!!! WELCOME TO WWW'S YEAR-END AUCTION!!!"
*Clap* *Clap* *Clap* *Clap*
There was another reason why plenty of umamusumes were still present in the Mejiro Mansion after the ball had ended. Most of them were here to attend the Wahre Welt Way's end-of-year auction. The auction is held in the hidden amphitheater that Team Minaz manages to sneak into.
In the auction, plenty of dangerous items are being sold willy-nilly as if they were nothing special. This becomes the main selling point for umamusumes to attend this auction.
"FOR OUR FIRST ITEM!!!
A POTION MADE BY THE INFAMOUS MAD SCIENTIST OF TRACEN ACADEMY!!
SHE CLAIMED IT WOULD ENERGIZE AN UMAMUSUME FOR SIX DAYS!!!
TRULY AN AMAZING DRUG FOR LOVERS!!!"
That Tachyon is selling outrageous items again… If she wasn't my dear's assistant, I would've ended her.
As the representative of the Mejiro Family, Ramonu wasn't sitting on the main floor with the rest of the attendees. She got the Royal Box seat, where she could see the entire theater without obstruction.
"It's a wonderful potion, really."
"Hooh? Have you tested it, Major Forever Darling?"
Being the leader of WWW in the Greater Tokyo Metropolitan, it's not weird for Forever Darling to be seated in the same Royal Box with Mejiro Ramonu.
"I tasted the sample before. It invigorated me for an entire day.
I would suggest you buy one. But with Mr. Igo becoming McQueen's fiancé, I'm afraid you don't have anyone to use it with."
"Fufufu~~ Betrothed can still break up, Major. I wouldn't be a member of this wonderful organization if a simple legal bond could stop me, no?"
"Ahahahaha… I guess you are correct.
I would support you if you are taking him from a filthy Femmist, but I'll step back if it comes between umamusumes.
It would be a wonderful chapter in the story about the Mejiro Family."
"That man would never be satisfied with just one wife. He is a selfish, greedy man-child."
"And you are all over him."
"Men are the cutest when they are dumb."
The price for the potion keeps rising and rising as more and more participants get swept by the thrilling atmosphere.
"WE HAVE TEN MIL!!! DO I–ELEVEN MIL!! TWELVE!! THIRTEEN MIL!!! DO I SEE ANY NUM-FOURTEEN!! THE POTION IS AT FOURTEEN MILLION YEN!!"
"Twenty-five million."
"TWENTY FIVE MIL!!"
A look of superiority forms on Ramonu's face. While these umamusumes spend millions on a limited supply, she could get it straight from the source for less.
I will not give my darling to anyone.
"Enlist Ramonu, are you a religious person?"
"...I couldn't say that I'm a Saintess. Will my next mission need me to be?"
"Ahahaha… Relax. I wouldn't be giving you a mission in such a crowded area. There is simply a story I would like to tell."
"Please do so." The first item had just been sold. It would take some time until the main item would be auctioned, so Ramonu thought that she might as well waste her time by getting closer to the Major. "I would love to hear your story, Major."
"Do you know about Lilith, the First Umamusume?"
"I heard of the story.
Lilith was created alongside Adam by the three Goddesses as his companion. While Adam was given intelligence and rationality, Lilith was given the brawn of the equation. They were fated to spread on the earth together as a perfect pair."
"One day in the Garden of Eden, the three Goddesses were speaking with Adam. Their conversation reached a level where Lilith couldn't comprehend anymore. The feeling of inferiority was born in Lilith."
"In her silent wail, a snake comes to Lilith and offers her the forbidden fruit. The snake convinced her that by eating the fruit, she would be able to stand alongside Adam."
"A single bite is all it took for the three Goddesses to curse Lilith for breaking the one rule of the Garden of Eden.
To curse Lilith and her descendants, the three Goddesses created Eve and made it so that Adam's sons would be more attracted to Eve's daughters than Lilith's daughters."
"Yes, that is the extent of what I have been told."
"But have you heard of the continuation that explains more about the three founders of humanity?"
"Continuation?"
"In Vatican City, a collection of ancient texts had been hidden from the masses due to it being incapable of being incorporated into the New Testament. Most call the collection the Dead Sea Scrolls.
The text states that the same snake who tricked Lilith became the filthy Femmist, Eve."
"Huh?"
"The text delves into why the snake tricked Lilith. The snake believed she was more deserving to stand beside Adam, and out of jealousy, she planned Lilith's downfall.
There was a section of dialogue where the snake butts in and asks the three Goddesses to turn it into Eve.
There is a detailed description of how Eve's body was created. Instead of being created from Adam's body, Eve was created from Lilith's."
"From Lilith?"
"Lilith was given a beauty that is said to naturally entice Adam, so he would never think of cheating. That is what the New Testament said, but don't you wonder where that beauty went after Eve's creation?
That beauty was taken from Lilith and was used as the base for Eve's body.
That is why Umamusume will always have a chance to give birth to a femmist."
"Major… What is the organization doing with this story?"
"An experiment to reverse the punishment by the three Goddesses. The name of the experiment is 'Lilith's Rebirth'.
The main purpose of the experiment is to give birth to an umamusume who will no longer be capable of giving birth to a femmist. Only umamusume."
"..."
"I will station you in the Japanese Team that will help this international experiment.
Do not disappoint me, Ramonu."
"It's my honor, Major."
