On the stage, the vice captain shouts with vigor and announces the start of the auction, and some people appear holding a sign-like billboard.
Are these girls squad members?
“Now, before we start the auction I have to remind everyone of a couple of things! First! Right now, I am the absolute authority in this room, and the only people in this room are the customer wearing the mask, Seller, and my associates!”
As the vice captain began to explain Rule 1, the leftmost girl spun the billboard around, and there was an signboard on the picture of a great-looking person stomping on a ragged person.
It was somewhat comical, unlike the content.
"Do not make any moves to identify the other party. And even if you manage to identify them, don't do anything to them even after you leave the church! Please promise me these two points! Then, rule No.2!"
Following this, the second child from the left turns the sign halfway around.
This time, an signboard is shown with a man with money opening a bag of money, checking it, realizing that it is missing, and then asking another man if he can borrow it.
Does that mean that borrowing and lending is forbidden?
“ Lending and borrowing money is fine! But! That is only if you are bringing someone you know! I know some of you can recognize the other person even with a mask on, but if anyone uses their authority to lend money, or if the money is not ready by the time payment is due, you will be banned from participating next time!”
So it's acceptable to lend and borrow.
But only if the loan is made before the time of payment.
It would be a terrible thing for the seller if the bidder wins the auction with no money.
Even if the auctioneer claims payment later in a underground auction, the seller may doubt whether the payment will really be made.
“Rule No.3”
At a signal from vice captain, the second girl from the right rotates a billboard.
This time it was a picture of an evil-looking merchant switching packages.
...... maybe.
Perhaps the reason for this is that, well, the drawing is not very good.
It is barely recognizable because the joints of the arms and the outline of the face are crooked and colored.
“Even if the seller is not satisfied with the winning bid price, once the bidder has won the auction, he/she is required to deliver the real item. We will not be held responsible in the event that the item is replaced by a fake! However, if it is discovered, a serious crime will be charged. If you do this, please be prepared to end up as a criminal slave.......?”
Under the mask, the mouth of the vice captain turns into like crescent moon.
I feel the insanity in that.......
If he tilted his head, opened his arms, and his eyes lit up, he would be regarded as a monster.
But still, I can't believe how well he can speak.
You're doing a great job. Vice captain.
“”Lastly! Of course, even if you lost the bidding for the auction, violence is not allowed! If an incident should occur during the auction, after the auction is over, whether you are royalty or any other noble, you too will be charged with a serious crime! At most, you will be stripped of your position and may even be reduced to criminal slave"
When the last girl spun around the stand-up board, it was a picture of a man punching a man in a strangely realistic touch.
Is it a boxing manga ......?
Moreover, it is rather intense.
"This concludes the explanation of the rules! If anyone is not satisfied with the rules, please exit now. Those who remain in this hall will be considered to be obeying the rules, I swear by the Goddess, so please!"
Not surprisingly, no one seems to be leaving.
“Ladies and gentlemen, let us agree to this! Let's get right to the first item! Male crime slave in his twenties! You can have him as a pet since he is in his prime age! You can make him work! He was the leader of bandits, so I'm sure he has a rebellious spirit, but if you want to train such a man, this is the man for you! Now then! We'll start with 100,000 Nors, and the unit is 10,000 Nors! Now, number 24, 110,000 Nors! No. 45, 130,000 Nors!"
Still, you are very lively, vice captain.
His explanations are very convincing.
"Hey, Hayato"
"What is it?"
“Do we have a number?”
“Yes, although they can only be seen from that side, but the numbers are fixed. It is random, but, you see, they are handing out the cards with your number on it"
I look to the front and see Theresa in her nun's habit handing out small tags in order from the front.
I don't know if it was because of her natural mobility or not, but she was passing the cards quickly and easily.
“Oh, there you are.”
"Yeah, good luck"
“When this is over, I'll be guarding the cash register. I have to put some energy into it.”
When Theresa finished saying that, she handed me and Hayato cards and left.
I wondered how she did it without making any mistakes, but it seems that she just handed them to us in order from the top.
I guess as long as she prepared ahead of time, there was no reason for her to make a mistake.
“Then the man from the bandit group is sold to bidder Number 24 for 250,000 Nors!”
250,000 yen,huh .......
That's awfully cheap considering it's a human life....…
“ Next item is ahhhhh”
In this way, several items were introduced and sold, and I think the number of items sold has already exceeded 10.
So far, the most expensive item was a fantasy-class weapon found in the lower levels of the dungeon.
The winning bid was 15 million Nors.
I thought that fantasy-class was ......, but apparently there is even more beyond that.
When I asked Hayato about it, he said,
'I think there is a weapon of divine weapon class on top of fantasy class, and although it is special, there is a weapon of sealing divine weapon class on top of the divine weapon class. My 'Excalibur[the Holy Sword of Light] is a sealing divine weapon'
'Wow. The highest rank, huh?'
'Well ...... it's an ability I received from the Goddess '
Oh, I see.
If the sword on top of the cheat ability given to anyone from the goddess was a normal skill in this world, it wouldn't be considered a unique skill huh.
I think even my “ Pocket Money” is a skill that cannot be found anywhere else in the world.
“Now, ladies and gentlemen, the main attraction of the show! It is no exaggeration to say that this is the main event! The world's most effective medicine, which is the proof that dungeon conquests have been accomplished! A miraculous medicine that even cures a missing body part! Its name is the elixir! There are two bottles this time, but the minimum bid for the first bottle is 100 million Nors. The minimum bid for the first bottle is 100 million Nors, and we will start the bidding at 10 million Nors!"
At last........
But still, the 100 million Nors is the starting value .......
It's basically more than doubled the bid, so I'd expect it to go for 200 million.
"Oh, whoops! Number 18, 150 million! Number 45 has added another 50 million, and it's already 200 million! Now, next is number 55 with 250 million!"
It didn't take long. ......
And the number 55 is Hayato, huh.
I looked to the side and saw him spreading his fingers wide to show five fingers.
“Now, will number 18 step down? Number 45, 280 million! Number 55, add another 50 million and we're at 330 million Nors!"
Wow, Hayato without a moment's hesitation, plus 50 million....…
“By the way, what's the limit for Hayato, ......?”
“I can manage up to .......500 million ......”
Hyah .......
He said he has 500 million Nors, ma'am.......
After buying that mansion, he has 500 million Nors... indeed you're a hero....…
“Usually it's settled around 300 million, but hopefully it'll be settled like this......”
“'Oh! Here come Number 1, adding another 50 million Nors!”
“......, that's not working out so well, .......”
“Number 55 adds another 50 million Nors, for a total of 430 million Nors!”
“Oh, ......I, I can help you about 100 million Nors, you know?”
The accessory made from the materials given to Hayato was 30 million Nors.
70 million Nors for the fee that was supposed to be paid to Hayato, which was given to me by the lord before my departure.
I think it doesn't matter if both of them return the money to Hayato.
And there is also the calculation that Hayato would return the money in some form or another.
"...... maybe I'll borrow it."
“Oh. I don't mind, just go ahead and do it.”
“Well, number one, we've got another 50 million! The price is 480 million Nors! Oops, number 55, 20 million bid made 500 million Nors! And Number 1 bid 50 million make 550 million Nors!"
"The timing is not good. ...... Do they really need elixirs? ......"
Hayato bites his lip bitterly and makes a grim face.
But still, the elixir seems expensive.......
Well, if it cures a defective part, all kinds of diseases, and poisons, is it really this expensive?
I wonder if there are rich people on earth who would be willing to pay 500 or 600 million for a medicine like this.......
I wonder if there will be people who will buy it if it cures all kinds of diseases and injuries as if they were buying a mansion.
I'm sorry. I'll borrow it”
"It's okay, it's okay. I just came to watch this time. For Chris's sake, go for it!"
"Yes!"
“Oh! As if to bring number 55 back to life, 50 million more ah! That's 600 million Nors! That's almost double our usual elixir!”
This would be ...... exhibitors would be thrilled.
Plus the church.
Ten percent means 60 million Nors for this one alone.......
“Oh, oh? 50 million more from Number 1, and what's more, it's 650 million Nors!”
“Kk......”
“Well, is anyone here? May I? The first bottle of the elixir is 650 million Nors! The first bottle of elixir is sold for 650 million Nors to bidder number one!
Seriously........
650 million Nors for one elixir. ......
That's enough for 65 Shiro.
65 Shiro .......
Anyone will die if they are forced to take a hit from her.
“We have no choice. ....... Let's go for the second one.”
“'Right. The first one must be out of money by now.”
“I don't know ....... If the opponent is a duke, that's not the case......."
By the way, Theresa also said something about the Duke being after it.......
I mean, was it good to reveal it?
Is it ok because he can't be identified by number?
"Now then, let's go on like this to the second bottle! As before, we start with 100 million Nors, and the unit is 10 million Nors! Number 55, 150 million Nors! Number 18, 200 million Nors! Number 45, 250 million Nors! Oops, Number 55, 300 million Nors! Number 45, 330 million Nors!"
As I expected, the second bottle of elixir , the price goes up very quickly....…
"Number 55, 380 million Nors! Come on, is there any others bid?”
“......”
Hayato seems to be watching the stage holding his breath.
I also felt nervous.
“Number 1, 430 million Nors!”
“I knew he'd come......."
Number 1, after bidding on a bottle of elixir just now, you still want to get it.
This is not like you are harassing Hayato, is it?
"Number 55, 480 million Nors! Another 50 million! Number 1, 530 million Nors!"
Come on, isn't the market price around 300 million?
That's 500 million in the blink of an eye.......
My sense of money is going to be lost...…
"Number 55, another 50 million! 580 million Nors!"
"......"
It's on the edge of the line.
If this goes up over 20 million, we're out.......
Then the vice captain on stage took a big breath.
"Add another 50 million Nors from Number 1! That's 630 million Nors! Now, any bid?"
“Huh ....... I guess the timing wasn't right this time. ...... I owe Chris an apology......."
“Oh ......, you can't help this one .......”
“ I agree. Maybe number one is definitely the duke. But still, 1.28 billion Nors for two elixirs. ......”
“Wow,......, I guess a duke has a lot of money,......."
"Well, he's a member of the royal family. I'm sure they have money where it's at......."
Hayato was visibly depressed, but there was nothing I could do about it....…
'Well don't get discouraged ....... I'm sorry for Chris, but there will be a next time.”
“I will ...... do that. Next time I'll save up more money and make sure it's perfect"
"Yeah, I'll help you out"
"Yes! Thank you!"
"Then let's move on to the next one! Next is a slave of the beautiful mermaid tribe!"
Unfortunately for Hayato .......
Well it's not like it won't heal forever though, and I'm sure Hayato will get it sorted out soon.
Oh, that reminds me, I haven't been to the Alchemy Guild in Royal City .......
I'll try to go there tomorrow when I wake up.

Did he get a reward from the lord? Please don't go into the matter, as I'm thinking of making it a quiet story.
