77 4-19 Back auction Auction 1

As the deputy captain raises his voice with authority on stage to announce the start of the auction, several of them appear with sign-like tags.

Are they the squad members?

'Now, before we begin the auction, a word of caution!　One!　Right now, I am the absolute only person in this room, and the only people in this room are the masked customer, the exhibitor, and me!

When the second-in-command started to explain Rule 1, the child on the left most spun around the stand and the batten was written on a picture of a great-looking person stomping on a raggedy person.

What a comical thing to do, unlike the content.

It's comical, unlike the content of the picture: "Don't make any movements to identify your opponent. And even if you do identify them, don't touch them, even after you leave the church!　Please promise me these two things!　Now the second one!

Then the second kid from the left spins the sign around halfway.

This time the batten is marked on the figure of a man who looks like he has money, opens the bag, checks the money, then realizes it's not there and asks another man if he can borrow it.

Does that mean no lending and borrowing?

"I don't care if you owe me money!　But!　That's only if you're bringing someone you know!　I'm sure some of you will know who you're dealing with even if you're wearing a mask, but if you use your power to lend money, or if you don't have the money ready by the time you pay, you will be barred from participating in the next round!

Is it okay to lend and borrow?

However, as long as it is borrowed earlier than the time of payment.

That's because it would be awful for the seller if he won the auction without any money.

Even if you are told to pay for it later in the back auction, you will wonder if you will really get paid.

Three eyes.

A girl, second from the right, spun the billboard at the signal of the vice-captain.

This time it was a picture of a merchant with an evil look on his face, swapping packages.

........maybe.

The reason for the maybe is that, well, it's not a very good drawing.

The joints of the arms and the outline of the face are bent and colored to a barely recognizable level.

Even if the seller is not satisfied with the bid price, once you've won the auction, you must give the real thing to the seller. We won't take any responsibility in the unlikely event that the item is passed off as a fake!　But if you are found out, you will be charged with a serious crime. If you're going to do this, please be prepared to go into criminal slavery...?

Underneath the mask, the vice-captain's mouth arcs like a crescent moon.

It's crazy.........

If he opens his hands and his eyes glow while tilting his head, he's a monster.

Still, I wonder how the voice comes out.

You're doing a great job. You're doing a great job.

Finally!　Of course, you can't be violent, even though you fought for the winning bid and lost!　In the unlikely event of an incident occurring during the auction, when it's over, whether it's royalty or nobility of any kind, you too will be charged with a serious crime!　Please be aware that you could be a criminal slave on top of being taken down at the maximum!

When the last girl spun the bill of goods around in a circle, it was a picture of a guy punching a guy in a strangely realistic touch that got battened down.

Boxing manga...?

And it's moderately powerful.

That's the end of the rule explanation!　If anyone does not agree with me, please leave now. Those who remain in this hall will be considered to be obeying the rules by the Goddess, so go ahead!

Not surprisingly, none of them seemed to be leaving.

'Ladies and gentlemen, we agree!　Let's get on with the first item!　Twenty-something male crime slaves!　You're a man and a pet!　I can make you work!　He was the leader of a bandit gang, so I'm sure he has a strong rebellious streak, but if you want to train a man like that, you're in for a treat!　So long!　Starting at 100,000 Nol, the units start at 10,000 Nol!　Come on, Mr. 24, 110,000 Noor!　Mr. 45, 130,000 knol!

He's so lively, by the way.

The explanations are just as impressive.

Hey Hayato.

What is it?

Do they have a number?

Yes, it's only visible from over there, but you have a number. It's random, but, oh, you know, I'm handing out tags with my number on them.

I look ahead and see Teresa in her monastic garb handing out small bills in order from the front.

I don't know if it's because of his natural physical abilities, but he swiftly and swiftly walked past and handed over the bills.

"Oh, you didn't want to be here?

Yeah, good luck with that.

I'll be at the Exchange after this, and I'll be there to guard the exchange.

When she finished saying that much, Teresa handed the bills to Hayato and me and left.

However, I thought she didn't make a mistake, but she seemed to be just passing the bills to me from top to bottom.

If you prepare ahead of time, there is no way you can make a mistake.

''Then the man from the bandit group is 250,000 knolls and Mr. 24 wins the bid, yeah!

250,000.........

Considering it's a person's life, it's very cheap........

''The next item is ahhh...''

This is how several items were introduced and sold, and I think there are already more than 10 of them.

The most expensive item so far was a fantastic weapon found in the lower levels of the dungeon.

The winning bid, 15 million nol.

I wondered what an illusion was........but apparently there was even more than that.

When I asked Hayato.

''On top of the Illusion-class weapon, there's a divine-class weapon, a special divine-class weapon, and then there's a Houshin-class weapon that seals the divine-class weapon. My 'Holy Sword of Light (Excalibur)' is at the Houshin class.

'Holy shit. That's the highest rank?'

''Well it's an ability given to me by the goddess.

Is that too?

If the sword on top of the cheat ability given to me by the Goddess was normally in this world, wouldn't it be a unique skill?

Even my 'allowance' is a skill that is unique to this world.

I'm going to be waiting for you all!　It's no exaggeration to say it's the main thing this time around!　It's a sign that you've made it through the dungeon, and it works the best in the world!　A miracle drug that can even cure a partial defect!　It's called the elixir!　There are two of them this time, but first one, the lowest bid is 100 million NOK. The unit starts at 10 million NOK!

Finally..........

But still, 100 million nol is the starting price........

Basically, it's been sold for more than double, so I'd expect it to go to 200 million.

'Whoa!　Mr. 18, 150 million!　Mr. 45, add another 50 million and that's already 200 million!　Now, next up, Mr. 55, you're in 250 million nol!

It didn't take me long........

And 55 is Hayato, isn't it?

When I looked to the side, he was spreading his fingers wide and showing a par.

I'm not sure if it's a good idea to go down, 18?　Number 45, 280 million!　Mr. 55, add another 50 million, and that's N$330 million!

That's amazing Hayato, 50 million more without a moment's pause........

By the way, Hayato's upper limit is...?

I can manage up to 500 million...

Wow..........

That's 500 million Nol, ma'am.........

After buying that mansion, you're in possession of 500 million knolls, as expected of a hero........

''Normally it would be settled at around 300 million, but if possible, I hope it's settled this way.......''

'Whoa!　Here's number one to add another 50 million Nol!

Well it doesn't work out that way...

Mr. 55, add another 50 million Nol. That's 430 million Nol!

Uh ... I could give you 100 million knolls, right?

The accessory I made from the materials given to Hayato was 30 million Nol.

The reward that was supposed to be paid to Hayato that the lord gave me before I left was 70 million Nol.

It seems to me that it's fine if both of them are returned to Hayato.

And there's also a mixture of calculations that Hayato will return it in some form or another.

Oh. Come on, come on, come on.

Okay, number one, 5,000 more coming in!　The price is a whopping NOK 480 million!　Whoa, Mr. 55, 2,000 extra, 500 million nol!　Number one, a whopping 5,000 extra, that's N$550 million!

''Bad timing......... Do you really need an elixir........

Hayato bites his lip bitterly and makes a grim face.

But even so, spirit medicine is expensive.....

Well, if it cures part defects, all kinds of diseases and poisons, is this the price?

I wonder if there are rich people on earth who would be willing to pay 500 or 600 million for such a medicine....

Some people would buy it if it would cure all kinds of diseases and injuries, just like buying a mansion?

'I'm sorry. I'll borrow it.

It's fine. I just came to see it this time. It's for Chris, good luck!

Yes!

'Whoa!　Number 55, as if you've come up for air, 50 million more!!!!　That's 600 million knolls!　It's almost twice as much as my usual spirit medicine!

That's ... the exhibitor must be puffed up.

And the church, too.

Ten percent means 60 million knolls for this one alone........

'Oh, oh?　Mr. Number One, add 50 million to that, and what a surprise, it's N$650 million!

"Huh...

Come on. Are you there?　May I?　So long!　The first bottle of the elixir is Nol 650 million, and Mr. Number 1 is the winning bidder!

Seriously...........

650 million nol for a bottle of spiritual medicine........

That's enough for 65 White people.

65 White's.........

You'll die if you're trapped.

No choice........... Let's go get the second bottle.

Yeah. You've already run out of money for the number one stone.

''.........I don't know. If the other party is a duke, that's not the case.......

Come to think of it, Teresa also said something like the Duke is after you........

I mean, was it a good idea to reveal it?

Is it good because you can't identify them by number?

'Well then, let's go for the second one!　Like before, we're starting at 100 million nolls, and that's 10 million nolls in units!　Mr. 55, 150 million nol!　Mr. 18, 200 million knol!　Mr. 45, 250 million nol!　Whoa, Mr. 55, it's 300 million knolls!　Mr. 45, Noor 330 million!

The second one, the quintessential one, it's going to go up in value very quickly........

''Number 55, 380 million nol!　Now, is there anything else, ah?

....

Hayato seems to be watching the stage with bated breath.

This one is tense as well.

''Number one, 430 million noor!

It's still coming...

Number one, you just won a bid for a bottle of spirit medicine and you're still buying it?

This isn't exactly a harassment to Hayato, is it?

"Mr. 55, Nol 480 million!　50 million more!　Number one, five hundred and thirty million knolls!

Oh, come on, isn't the market around 300 million?

500 million in the blink of an eye.........

Your sense of money is going to be incomprehensible........

"Mr. 55, another 50 million!　It's Nol 580 million!

.........

It's a last-minute line.

If this is up over 20 million, you're out........

And the deputy captain on stage took a big breath.

''Number one, add another 50 million nol!　That's N$630 million!　Now, if you'll excuse me, sir!

'Huh......... It seems the timing was wrong this time......... I have to apologize to Chris.........

''Uh ... there's nothing we can do about this...''

'Yes. Probably number one is definitely the duke. But still, two bottles of spiritual medicine is 1.28 billion knolls.......

''Huh........I guess dukes have money.......''

'Well, you're part of the royal family. I guess there's a place for it...

Hayato was visibly depressed, but there was nothing he could do about it.......

'Well don't be depressed........ I'm sorry for Chris, but there will be another time.

' ... I will. Next time I'll save up more money and then I'll make it all right.

Yeah, I'll help you with that.

'Yes!　Thank you!

'Then let's move on!　Then there are the beautiful mermaid slaves!

Too bad about Hayato........

Well, it's not like he won't be cured forever though, and Hayato will be cured soon.

Come to think of it, I haven't been to the alchemy guild in the royal capital.......

I'll go there tomorrow when I wake up.
