I was banished from bed with my lover by a brave man, but my 'XP Savings' skill broke and

The time when you can see the starry sky.

Me and Kaede are headed to a certain mansion.

According to what I heard, the auction is going on there.

Membership makes it usually impossible for outsiders to enter.

However, if certain conditions are met, we can participate.

What is that condition? A recommendation from a member.

I have already received a recommendation from the Count, so the participation itself is fine.

If there is a problem, it is how to hide the identity.

Naturally, but the organizers have an idea of who it is.

But the participants are different. They're here with their faces, their names, their identities on the ground.

Of course prying is strictly prohibited. Sounds like a measure to avoid useless trouble.

That's why we're wearing masks that cover our eyes.

At the gate, there were tenacious soldiers guarding.

They stare at us.

It's a letter of recommendation.

"Excuse me. Please come through."

Show lightly the envelope you left from the Count and walk through the gate.

The large grounds had stunning gardens.

"It's a big mansion, but whose is it?"

"It seems to be the Duke's separate house in the Wang capital. Then I guess the organizers will be dukes, but I guess that's an implicit understanding there."

We don't care who the auction organizer is.

That's probably what everyone here must think.

You must be full of heads about that when you get what you want and how much money you can compete off.

A white, large building enters sight.

In front of the front door, there were participants talking about the glass with one hand.

It's still before the start, so I guess I'm killing time.

If you enter the building, the old gentleman will salute you.

"Thank you so much for coming tonight. May I take a look at how you will be participating for the first time from what I have seen, and the letter of recommendation?

"This is it."

The gentleman who receives the envelope smiles through his eyes.

"It does seem real. Then again, welcome to the auction. We are also picking up some great stuff tonight. If you have something that bothers you, don't hesitate to race it off."

"By the way, what do we call each other here?

"Right...... I give the number tag to the delegate, so is it customary to call it Mr. or Miz on that?"

It was' number 31 'that was given to me.

Pin the bill to your chest.

Now I am Mr. 31.

We have to be careful not to accidentally divulge our names.

Keep going into the back of the building and there was a huge room.

Inside the room is a half-moon stage, lined with countless chairs.

There were already people in some chairs.

We sit back at the rear edge.

It's pretty far from the stage, but me and Kaede have good eyes.

"Why did you choose the back seat?

"You don't know how. So I decided to start by seeing how things went from here."

Besides, the more you go before, the easier it is to get attention.

I don't like to stand out for nothing.

"Sir, have a drink."

"Thanks"

A young man brings me two glasses.

It's like champagne, apparently.

"Cucumber?"

"Here, don't come out"

The bread tai comes out of the engraving on its own.

I was peeking in the glass wondering if you were intrigued.

Then it fits into Caede's arms and closes his eyes happily.

Unlike Low Suke, he walks in and out of the engraving at will.

I'm worried I'll suddenly pop up when it matters and surprise my surroundings.

A large number of guests begin to enter the venue, and a moderator-like figure stands on the stage.

"Ladies and gentlemen who are here tonight, we will now begin the auction. The rules are even easier, just getting the goods put out more expensive than anyone else. Okay, here we go."

It was a jewel with as many fists that was transported to the stage.

Illuminated by lights, it emits a dazzling glow.

"2000"

"2500"

"3500"

"5100"

The mingle value leads to go.

The jewel was awarded at 330 million sufficiently later.

I have a cold sweat in my sight.

Hih, this is a hell of a place to be.

I can't believe it's just enough and hundreds of millions move.

It's just a hell of a lot of rich people coming here.

For once, I had 1.2 billion on hand, but it seemed kind of unreliable.

Upper-class Cowaii.

The auction continued with the subsequent release of precious items.

"Then there will be even more precious items from here! Start with one of tonight's eyeballs: Skill Sealed Scroll! Starting at 1 Million!

For the first time here I reacted.

Scroll is one of the relics left behind by an ancient race.

I still don't know how to make it, but it activates powerful forces instead of disposables.

And a skill-sealed scroll is a super powerful trump card in interpersonal matches that renders the target's skills completely unusable.

A precious dish that those who carry out battle want to keep.

... but the venue was quiet.

Confused moderator.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's already started, isn't it?

Ha ha. The guys here are upperclassmen not interested in the fight.

I've hardly had a chance to seal my skills.

Clearly, it's a waste of money to compete off.

I raise my hand.

"A million!

"... Is there anything else?

No one looks like they're going to catch it.

Two minutes later I got the right to buy scrolls.

"How could you raise your hand?

"It's because of a time of need. Skill sealing works only once for any opponent for valuable minutes. Even if it's a demon king, it's a brave man."

"You're an amazing tool. But why were you all ignored?"

"You kept the funds warm because you weren't interested. The auction still goes on after this, I guess I didn't want to waste it"

On the contrary, it means that from here it will be a fierce battle.

Many participants in the venue begin to twitch.

A few of them had changed seats and moved to the front.

"Next is one of the eyeballs! With this, you no longer have to be frightened of assassinations, the 'Jewel of Life Extension' that protects the owner from death just once! It starts with 2 million!

Looks like this was what they were looking for.

The value rises and goes with a whimpering momentum.

The winning price is 850 million.

They're out of their minds here.

"Well, here's an introduction to Rare's slaves too! All those that possess rare species and skills that don't go on the market! High Elves at first!

The beautiful woman brought in was covered in a thin cloth and the lines of her body seemed clear.

It boasts a breathtaking beauty, though not as good as Caede's.

"Mmm," Kaede leaked his dissatisfied voice as he stared.

Naturally, she stimulates male customers intensely and is awarded a super high bid.

What's wrong with buying or selling people?

I could complain. I'm not my in-laws, but I still don't feel good watching.

"Well, next time, the rarest species in the world! The Faeries!

The venue shudders.

Fairies are a species that people cannot step into, and are often told in legends that they live in the depths of the Great Forest.

Its true value lies in its feathers, while also its small and adorable appearance.

"Fairy Powder" - You can fly by the special scaly powder found in your feathers.

Yeah, of course he's physical, not conscious.

What a powdered man can fly freely for a few hours.

Being targeted for life for the powerful is a daily tea meal.

It's natural to be prepared every day.

But if you get stuck in a surprise and you refuse the escape route.

It is a power worthy of a wife who can be used to such utter despair.

Rarity, appearance and effect.

He should be an attractive slave to the powerful.

"Then I'll start with five million."

Girl in a little cage.

He was leaning and trembling in the corner in a frightened manner.

"Takeshi"

I can... hear you.

Whose voice is that?

"Great race, please help Frau out of here"

The voice continues.

'Fairey is a great servant of yours. Please reach out to this poor Frau for salvation'

That was the voice of Fairy's prayer.

I look around but no one is hearing me.

The price just goes up.

I raised my hand to the cry for salvation.

"200 million!

"Oops, I suddenly jumped!

From here the others lift it in small pieces.

You can no longer overlook the voice of salvation that only I hear, the prayer that seems so sad.

That kid is still trying to believe something.

No, I want to believe it. That you're not the only one in this world.

I'm not lost.

"300 million!

"I bounced up again!

Few unexpectedly expressed interest.

Those who were in the hoisting also descend one after the other.

But there are three sticky guys.

I'll hoist them up even more to shake them off.

"450 million!

"460 million"

"465 million"

"471 million"

Out of the way!

I'm not going to deal with you guys!

"600 million!

"610 million"

Two fall off, the rest of the fuzzy man perseveres in carving.

"So uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, pretty fairy. Let's do something nice every day with me. I'll play you till it breaks."

"800 million!

The man is stunned by my offered forehead.

But I'm still trying to follow you.

Perseverance. How much money are you preparing?

Fine, then I'll be serious.

"1.1 billion!!

The man lowers his hand in the middle he was about to raise.

I admitted to losing.

"Then this slave wins the bid at 1.1 billion!

Participants stood up and applauded simultaneously for the incandescent competition.
