Chapter 19-2

Alain Auction House, VIP Auction Room.

The auction rooms at Alain Auction House are divided into three categories: VIP, High Grade, and General.

The VIP room handles the most expensive items, while the High Grade room deals with slightly expensive items, and the General room usually handles ordinary or inexpensive items.

In reality, the General auction room was a place of little consequence, and in fact, the people who frequented the VIP and High Grade auction rooms were the most numerous.

There arent many people here.

The prices here are a bit steep.

Hmm looks like everyone here is wealthy.

Hanette looked around with a calm expression.

Young people like her or Sion were hardly to be found.

Perhaps wealthy nobles or merchants affiliated with various associations had come here to spend their money.

The items the nobles are trying to buy are already determined. It has nothing to do with me.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

Is that so?

Pretty much. Nobody likes old gloves.

You never know. There might be someone as eccentric as you.

I hope there isnt. Itll only make it harder for me if I stick out for no reason.

The item Sion was after was the equipment used by the protagonists enemy.

It was unclear how he obtained it, but it was clearly described as an item acquired from the auction house in the capital.

In the end, the enemy was entranced by an evil power and went on a rampage, ultimately meeting his demise at the hands of the protagonist.

Of course, the glove of the demon was destroyed on the spot, making it impossible to recover even once it was lost.

Since its an early game enemy I wont be able to get it unless I buy it now.

In about two months, the protagonist was expected to arrive in the capital.

Sion knew this in advance, so he had roughly guessed the time when the gloves would be sold.

How much did you bring?

240.

In gold coins?

Yeah.

Thats quite a lot?

20 coins!

30 no, 40!

50.

50! Do you have any more bids?

Unlike before, the amount of money decreased, but the speed at which the price went up was quite fast.

Sion thought for a moment, and then raised the plaque.

Ah! 100! 100 coins!

Hanette looked at Sion with a stiff expression, wondering why he chose 50 when he could have raised only 10.

Of course, if Sion was trying to fend off his competitors all at once, she could somewhat understand his decision.

150! The current bid is 150 gold coins!

This time, Sion and Hanette simultaneously exchanged startled glances.

They seemed to have feared that something like this might happen.

I cant afford to look weak here

Wow! 200 ! 250!

Sion immediately raised the sign, but the price went up again.

Hanette frowned with concern.

Do you have no more? If not, Ill count down from ten. 10, 9, 8

Sion sighed and put down the sign.

He didnt have any more money to bid on.

He might need to give up on this glove and find another way.

Somehow, things seem to be going well. Now I cant believe my luck

3, 2, 1 Oh? 260! The bid is 260!

Sion looked around, puzzled.

It had been a competition between the two of them, but someone had suddenly intervened.

However, that someone was surprisingly close.

Sister?

Sigh What can I do? Im three years older than you. So Its natural I help you.
