The venue is still heated due to the unexpected fierce auction.
Even at the break time, there are few people who left the venue.
Shortly after we were outside of the building, Tino and the others come toward us.
When she came in front of me (Liz and Sytry), she put her hand in front of her and bow deeply.
“I am sorry, Master. I would have never thought that something like that would happen…”
“Eh…? Aaah, No. I don’t mind…”
Initially, I asked Tino to be my proxy. It was certainly a surprise that it was Greg-sama who knocked down, but it isn’t something to be angry about.
Since a while ago, the appearance of Greg-sama who is in the back was pale like a ghost, even after the auction for the doll was over. His cold sweat is amazing. He is mysteriously looking around as if something was watching him, I recognize this suspicious behavior.
He is the hero who knocked down the highest lot on the first half of the auction. As everyone were hiding behind their number during the auction, his face still isn’t exposed as there isn’t any people surrounding him, but his name will probably spread all over.
To ensure fairness at Zebrudia Auction, the name of the winning bidder can be easily checked. This is one reason some people use proxy, but it might have been a little too heavy for Greg-sama who is just a Mid-Level Hunter.
Tino is making an excuse while uneasily looking at Liz. Liz is smiling and silent.
“Hum… I really wanted to be the proxy. But… Well… I wasn’t prepared… And I realized it when I confirmed that Master has made a signal. I don’t know the hand signal people use to participate in the auction.”
Tino is quite an airhead…
However, there are certainly various type of hand signal, so it is no wonder that you don’t know about them if it is the first time you participate in an auction.
Then in that case, you can scream the price, there is also a way to participate in the auction by writing the price on the billboard you were holding but those who participate in auctions usually use hand signals.
“And then… As Greg knows them, I let him do it. We divide the role between watching the signal from Master and the one who was in charge of participating the auction… I would never have thought that something like that would happen. For the first time, I was planning to leave it to Greg while I was learning how to do it so I can be in charge for the real lot. But then…”
“Un, un, you are right…”
" "But then, before getting to the real one, I ran out of money with the Golem.
However, even I wouldn’t imagined something like this could happen, so there is no helping it.
Liz taps my shoulder, make a hand signal to cut her neck and tilt her head. Don’t kill her…
I call out to Tino who is frightened in fear, to reassure her.
“You don’t have to be so frightened. You did great, great. Un. It is exactly how I expected.”
“Cry. Well… It seems to be over budget… But is it okay?”
Is that why Greg-sama is so pale?
The knocked down price this time is one hundred million Gils over the amount I had told them in advance. If I can’t pay it, Greg-sama will be accused of committing a crime, so that expression is unavoidable. Originally, a proxy can only be established when there is a deep trust in each other.
Of course, I wasn’t planning on bothering Greg-sama.
“Aaah, don’t worry about that. I have the money.”
It is not mine, though.
In my heart, I make a dogeza to Lucia, write a check to withdraw one hundred and ten million and then give it to Sytry.
By the way, the source of withdrawal is Lucia’s bank account, but all the procedure was already completed so they only need my signature. I am used to it.
It may be better to think about how to appease her rather than repay her by the time she came back.
Sytry carefully put the check she receives into her bag. Adding the cash, we have now one billion and sixty million Gils.
While looking downward, Tino ask me for confirmation.
“Master, so… Well… what about that Relic…”
“Aaah, it is fine. I have already achieved my goal. I am a little tired, so I am going back now.”
“… Eh!?”
The auction has just begun. The area around the auction venue is crowded with people.
There will probably be more and more rare Relic coming up. I am interest but it is very hard to look at them when I have no money left. It is fine if it is only hard, but it is better to not be here as there is the possibility of me spending the rest of Lucia’s savings.
Above all, I can’t get that mask anymore. My auction is already over.
The Ojou-sama may be full of fighting spirit right now, but I am not going to put on an act. It is already your win. Ah, you have already won.
Let’s go back and sleep.
“Well then, Cry-san. I will immediately go with Greg-san to pick up that thing we succeeded to acquire!”
Sytry with a big smile, lifts a trunk case full of white coins. Let’s say that it is good that I was able to protect that smile.
However, you really are impatient, to go and pick up that huge Golem right away… I guess you really wanted it.
“Onee-chan, can you go and look up the information on number twenty-five who was competing with us when we were bidding? Maybe they are already gone now, but there should be some information on the Auctioneer’s document.”
“O, oi, it is against the rules to look up information about your competitors… N, no, nothing at all.”
Well it is a violation of the rules but if you want to investigate it, it is easy to do it. We have been fighting up to this point, it is no wonder that we are curious.
I don’t think they will show you the document though. As it is against the rules.
“Well then, Greg-sama, you have saved us today. See you again. Sytry, after that, I am counting on you.”
“Yes! Thank you very much, Cry-san! I will come back a little bit later!”
Will Eva be angry? Yeah, she probably will… But there is no helping it.
From now on, if I want to eat an ice cream then I will have to take Tino with me.
When I made a big yawn, I left the auction venue with a big feeling of exhaustion.
