"Huh? Is there such a thing?" Elena was immediately interested.

"Not only that, but customers pay for it when they buy it. But when the clothes come back, the money that was paid at that time also goes back to the guests, and they appear in the place where the clothes are kept." Renee said.

"You mean to say that the clothes that were sold have somehow returned to the store; And the money paid by the guest is also returned to the guest. Is that so?" Elena concluded.

"Yes." Renee replied, "And twice in a row. That's why that garment is called a 'cursed' garment."

"Interesting...... Elena showed a look that is characteristic of her interest, "I bought the dress!"

"Huh?" Bella looked at her in surprise, "Didn't you say you wouldn't buy it?"

"I mean, don't buy what I'm wearing." Elena quibbled.

"......," Bella was speechless.

"But is this garment 'cursed'?" Renee said worriedly.

"It's okay, I'm just going to see what the hell is the magical curse." Elena said, "Besides, according to what you just said, if the 'curse' does appear and it runs back to the store on its own, won't my money come back too?" Doesn't that seem like a loss?"

"This ...... That's true."

"Anyway, do you sell it or not?"

"Wait a minute." Renee said, taking the clothes off the shelves and starting to pack them.

"But, Elena, what are you going to do with it?" Bella asked, "We don't seem to be the right size."

"It doesn't matter," Elena said nonchalantly, "it doesn't matter."

Elena was still more interested in such anecdotes such as "curses".

Seeing her so motivated, Bella didn't know what to say.

But fortunately, Elena's mind was on this "cursed" dress, and she didn't demand too much from Bella.

So, Bella chose a more suitable one from the few dresses she had just tried.

Anna is petite and looks very cute in everything she wears.

On the way back, Elena was thinking about her future plans.

"Bella, what do you think we should prepare?" Elena said.

"What are you going to prepare?" Bella asked.

"This is the dress." Elena replied, "Since it's 'cursed', what precautions should there be?"

"But do you really believe that this is the work of the 'curse'?" Bella was a little skeptical.

Speaking of "curse", when I was in the Iberian Peninsula before, I heard from Mrs. Isabel. The so-called spell is performed for the purpose of assassinating a specific target. In other words, it's usually about achieving a certain effect on a specific person, and I've never heard of a curse on a piece of clothing. Even if there is, it should be a prop used to harm someone. However, judging from the description of the clerk just now, the dress only returned to the store and did not cause harm to anyone.

And the guest also got back the money he deserved, which is strange to think about.

"Anyway, I want to see how it got back to the store." Elena said.

"Rather than believing in the curse, I suspect it may have been deliberately done." Bella said.

"Artificial......" Elena seemed to think of as well, "it's possible. If it's man-made, then it's not safe for us to keep it at home."

"And what are you going to do?" Bella asked.

"I'm going to ...... Put it at Madame Roland." Elena said.

"Don't you take it back?"

"Hmm." Elena nodded, "If it was man-made, it would have come and steal it at night, and it was really not safe for us to keep it at home. If it is placed in Madame Roland's, even if the other party wants to steal it, it should not be able to find a place."

Elena seems to be very confident in her plan.

So, they first went to Madame Roland's salon and gave the clothes to Madame Roland for safekeeping.

After that, they returned to their residence in Paris.

Early the next morning, Elena got up early and took Bella and Anna to Madame Roland.

"What? The clothes are missing?" Elena was shocked, "What's going on?"

"I don't know." Madame Roland said, "Yesterday you said you wanted to keep it safe, so I put her in the study box. As a result, when I went to check this morning, I found that it was gone."

"Can you show us there?" Bella said.

"Okay."

With that, Madame Roland led them to the study.

Next to the desk was a chest which, when opened, contained thirty francs.

"It's ...... The money I bought yesterday for that dress." Elena took the money out of the box, no more, no less, exactly thirty francs.

"Damn." Elena was unconvinced.

Bella crouched down to check the condition of the box.

"Is the box locked?" Bella asked.

"Nope." "Because the study is locked, the boxes are not locked."

"That's ......."

Bella looked around again and saw that there was no suspicious trace.

She took a closer look around the box again.

"It's ......"

Bella saw a few golden velvety objects on the ground.

"It looks like some kind of animal hair." Elena said.

"Could it be ......," Bella seemed to think of a possibility, "Elena, shall we go to the store again?"

"Huh? Now?"

"Yes, right now."

So, Bella and Elena came to the Olivia clothing store again.

"Welcome." Renee didn't seem surprised to see Elena.

"Are the clothes back?" Elena asked.

"Yes." Renee replied apologetically.

"Excuse me, is Mr. Cleveland here?" Bella asked.

"Yes."

After Renee finished speaking, she called backstage, and Cleveland stepped out of it, still holding yesterday's golden retriever puppy in her arms.

"Mr. Cleveland, please take a look." Bella said, handing over the strand of blonde hair, "It's your pet, right?"

Cleveland frowned and didn't answer.

"Yesterday I heard from Miss Renee that every time that dress was sold, it would go back to the store that evening, and the money would go back to the customer. So, that garment became 'cursed' garment." Bella said, "Unfortunately, I know a senior who knows a lot about curses, and she told me that there is no such way to get clothes back. So I wondered if it was artificial. However, before that, there was a question that I had never figured out, that is, how did the other party find clothes every time?"

Cleveland remained silent.

"Until this morning, we found this strand of hair where the clothes went missing." Bella continued, "Canines have a much more sensitive sense of smell than humans, and can recognize smells that are not easily detected by humans. If I'm not mistaken, you used this pet to find the location of the clothes, right?"

"Is it really you? Cleveland?" Renee asked nervously.

"Ugh." Cleveland sighed, "That's right, it's me."

"Why do you want to do that?" Renee didn't understand.

"Because, I don't want this dress to be bought." Cleveland said, "I want to give you to you, Renee."

"Huh?" Renee felt a little trepided, "For...... Why?"

"When this dress first appeared in the store, I noticed the way you looked at it. I know, you're going to love it." Cleveland said, "But I don't have enough money to buy it right now. That's why I'm actively working in the store, hoping to make enough money with my own hands to buy it and give it to you."

"But isn't this your mother's?" Elena said, "Will you just talk to her soon?"

"How can that be?" Cleveland said with a serious expression, "I'm a man, and I have to rely on my own efforts to buy it justifiably. Only then will you be qualified to propose to her."
