Chapter 4 - 18 Underground Auction - Opening of Auction

Author Note:

Looking at past accessory prices, it was pointed out to me that the bid price was too low, so I have doubled the initial price of the accessories and the bid price at 4-20.

Maybe this will be OK ....…

 

 

In the middle of a pleasant sleep, I was shaken awake by shaking my body.

 

“Shu, my lord ...... is it time to ......, or ......?”

 

Aina looked like she was enduring something with her fingers in her mouth.

Her lips, glistening in the light of the magic lamp, looked sexy.

Her face is flushed, making her look even more sensational.

 

"Hmm. Oh ...... I slept comfortably ......”

 

Dreaming is good when lying on the lap pillow.

I sleep so comfortably that I feel as if I am holding a soft pillow or a soft fluffy cotton candy in my hands.

Moreover, my face feels cold on one side and warm on the other, like the warmth of a human being, but not uncomfortable.

And when I wake up, Aina always wakes me up with a strangely erotic face, just like she does now.

There is no way I can't get addicted to it!

 

It's much better than lousy prostitutes!

I've never been to a brothel since I came into this world though!

 

Even if I have time to go, I don't have a chance to go!

There's one in Einzhale and one in the Royal Capital!

But I never go out alone for shopping, and if I go out for a walk alone at dawn, the stores aren't open!

And on top of all that, before I know it, Shiro is around me!

Imagine what would happen if Shiro, who is still small, saw me going into a store like that......

 

Well, I have a lap pillow.

Yeah, yeah. No problem. More than enough.

 

"Well, let's get changed.”

“Oh, Wendy told me earlier to change my clothes at ......! What are you doing?"

“What you mean, ......, I'm getting changed?”

“What are you taking off all of your clothes? You probably changed them when you took a bath earlier!”

“Oh, I see. Sorry, I forgot.”

 

Purposefully, though!

For a guy, he would be stark naked in a night breeze.

I was hoping for that reaction.

Okay, I've got enough energy!

Now I can enter the auction with all my might!

 

"Just get dressed!"

"No, no, no"

“Huh? What's wrong with you, you haven't ...... changed your clothes yet!"

“No, but you're grabbing my pants right now.”

 

There's no way I can change my clothes if you're holding mine.

Now give me back my pants, which you were still holding when you hid that face!

 

"Hi, hyaaa!"

 

My pants flopped down and were thrown away.

Aina was so embarrassed that she cowered with her pillow up.

Naturally, her butt went up .......

Now Aina is in shorts.

Her smooth thighs and calves are further emphasized by the small fabric, and her large buttocks rise beautifully.

 

This is forcing me to be ready for a fight.

Too bad.

Without looking away or even blinking, I kept the scene in my brain and thought as I put on my pants to hide my battle stance.

I wonder if the auction can be tomorrow...…

 

 

After saying goodnight to Aina, I headed for the front door to find Wendy, Shiro, and Hayato all there.

 

“Hey, is Hayato here without a companion?”

“Yes, they all have some business to attend to.......”

 

Oh. Those girls from the Hayato Lover's Club are not coming with us.

It's strange that Chris, who is involved in this matter, is also not coming.

I can't help but feel that they have an agenda.

Is it a meeting?

I wonder if they are having a meeting of the club.

 

“Lord, you're late. What were you doing with Aina?”

"Nothing"

"Master, when I visited your room earlier ......, it was nothing"

 

Um, so what am I doing while I sleep?

I don't do anything every time I wake up, but tell me once what I'm doing before my consciousness awakens!

Maybe “ Awakening [Remember Memory]” skill might be triggered!

Because it might increase my happy memory!

 

“Ha ha ....... Um, should we be on our way?”

"I'll be there in a minute! Ha-ha-ha, I'm on my way too!”

 

It was Letty who appeared, out of breath.

For some reason, she appeared with her right hand in a scissors pattern.

No way.

If that's the case, bring Chris along....…

 

"Oh, yeah. Are you okay?"

"What, huh?"

“Uh, you know, breathing and stuff.......”

"Not a problem! No problem! I'm fine!"

“ Oh, I see.

Okay, I'm going to go now. Do you want to hold my hand?"

“Huh, huh?! People don't usually hold hands!"

"But you look like you're in pain"

"Don't worry about it"

 

Well, as usual, she's not being honest with herself.

Let this Uncle, big brother, give you a shot in the arm here.

 

“Wendy, Shiro, shall we hold hands?”

“Yes! Master!”

“Nah, Wendy, it's just arms linked. We are not holding hands.

“I'm holding your hand properly. No problem with that, right?"

“Mm-hmm. Then Shiro will hug"

"Oh, that's not fair! Then, I'll hug too......."

 

Yup.

Hard to walk .......

No, it's a 100 point score in terms of feeling, but it's hard to walk .......

So, what do you think?

Did I cover for you?

 

“'Look, I'm not suggesting we do like them over there, so let's hook up, shall we?"

“Uh, yeah. If not that far, that's fine......."

 

It seems to have turned out well. Great.

 

Look, Shiro, Master is having trouble walking! Quick, get away from him.”

"I refuse. If anyone's going to leave, Wendy should go first.”

 

Hey, girl

 

“Look, why don't you come a little closer?”

"Yeah, just a little bit closer to ......."

 

I think we should take a little bit of a lesson from over there .......

I don't know why I envy them so much, even though the level of closeness is higher over here.

Aha, so that's so called the dazzle of youth. ......

 

“Lord, are you sad?”

"Master?"

 

Well, no.

I'm happy enough, and I don't want to wish for more.

I just want to feel a little bit, just a little bit, ordinary!

 

 

While riding Hayato's carriage to the church, I and Hayato were sitting across from each other with awkward atmosphere.

When we looked at each other, all we could do was laugh.

Hayato may have been embarrassed, but I was just trying not to look at him because of my concern for Miss Letty, who was quickly becoming a bit of a flirt.

And before I knew it, they were holding each other's arms.

Well, things are developing so swiftly.

 

"Oh, here she is"

"Hello, Theresa"

“It's been a long time, Lord Hayato”

"Long time no see. Captain Theresa"

“By the way, Lord, that set of jewelry you sold, it's listed at a starting price of 10 million Nors”

“Hmm, I understand. That's fine."

 “I'd like to explain for the record that 10% of the sales will be contributed to the church"

 

I don't know how many are being exhibited, but it's quite a lot.

Well, surely the church wouldn't be taking any risks if they didn't.

I don't know what would happen if the public found out that the church was holding auctions behind the scenes.

 

"And Lord Hayato, there are two bottles of the elixir on display"

“Two bottles ......”

“”It seems the Duke's family is after them, but Lord Hayato should be able to secure them”

“”I just bought the mansion, so I don't know......."

 

What?

You don't have any money right now, Hayato!

This is not the time to be giving me all those materials!

I don't know how much the elixir costs, but it's so expensive that even Hayato can't afford it!

I heard it was expensive, but it's more than I expected.

 

“Well, then, let's put these on and go to the back.”

 

With that, she handed us a white Venetian mask, the kind of mask one might use at a masquerade ball.

 

“Although this is technically only an accessory, it's a measure to keep what happens inside from getting out.”

 

I see, so that the one who loses after competing in a buying war doesn't do anything with a grudge.

 

 

“In the old days, there was a bidding war over an elixir, and the result was that the lower class noble won the auction, but the higher class nobles, who resented it, bullied the lower class until they had it taken away from them. Since then, it was decided that whether a person was a duke or a royal family, he or she would be guilty of a serious crime"

“That guy went to ...... again.”

 

Poor thing.

But still, I wonder what the lower class noble wanted it so badly.

 

“...... after that, the elixir they got got helped the granddaughter of a lower class noble get well again.”

“Letty?”

"I wonder if the head of the family was happy then. I heard that in the end, he was bought by the duchess of the higher nobility and tortured until he died. The duke's son succeeded to the head of the family as if nothing had happened after that. Since then, the low nobles have been living under the nose of the duke"

“Hey, wasn't there slavery? If there was a connection or something, they couldn't buy it, could they?"

"It was only recently that it was established. It happened before that"

"...... how terrible"

“Yeah, it's awful.”

 

.......

This is still some distance from Letty to go in depth on this story.......

Maybe, but I'm sure it will.......

 

"Come on, let's get going!”

"Yes, I think so. Let's all put on our masks. Everything's packed in the back.”

"Yeah, that's right. Come on Shiro, Wendy, let's go"

“ Mmm.”

"Yes"

 

I handed the masks to Shiro and Wendy and followed Hayato to the back of the church.

Then we descended to the basement, where long benches were arranged in tiers, and the stage was lit up in the center at the bottom.

 

 

"Each seat is blocked by a soundproof curtain specially made by Lord Eriodalto. If you come with a group of friends, you can lower it and have a conversation, but if you speak too loudly, others will hear you.”

'Then how do we bid?"

"Fingers. For example, if the starting bid is 5 million Nor and the unit is 100,000, you can bid 100,000 Nor more with one finger, and up to 5 fingers, so you can bid 500,000 Nor more"

 

I see.

So if the units were 10 million, the maximum would be 50 million Nors increase. ......

That's going to be a hell of a lot of money.

 

"It looks like it's about to begin.”

 

As Hayato said this and turned his head forward, a masked figure appeared on the stage.

 

"I'm kind of nervous.”

"It's dark ...... and sleepy ......"

"You can lean back and sleep if you want."

"Mmm. ......, I'll do my best"

“Can I lean on you too? Is that okay?”

“Uh ...... yeah.”

 

Wendy, that's not leaning in, it's pushing in.

I think she has become even more unreserved and relentless lately, or maybe her character is too different from her early days ...... like Renge's man-hatred.

I think she used to be more graceful.

It's ok though!

 

Well, it's all very well to utilize the weapons you have to the fullest, but lately I've been feeling a bit overloaded, thank you very much for that ......!

Although it's a bit excessive, it doesn't mean that I'm not getting sick and tired of it!

Thank you very much!

 

As I tore my eyes away from Wendy's pressed twin hills and turned to look at the stage, the figure on stage bowed her head in an exaggerated bow and inhaled a great big gulp of air.

 

“Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your patience! From now on, the auction will be held!"

 

Oh, I can tell even though he's wearing a mask. That's the vice captain.

Since there's no microphone, he's shouting as loud as he can, I guess.

Thanks for your hard work.
