Chapter 154 – Auction
Episode 154 – Auction
Inside the noisy classroom, I was lying down at my desk as always, enjoying my peaceful daily life.
‘Now is the time to prepare.’
One week since the train attack.
With only two weeks left until final exams, there is one event worth paying attention to.
It was a secret auction held by Melanie Merchant Marine, one of the seven major merchant merchants on the continent.
There are more than a dozen types of items up for auction. The number is not enormous, but each one is a treasure that is hard to see.
Among them, there were artifacts that were higher than the Permanent Snow Third Grade Elixir or the Iron Wall Fortress.
Of course, the prices for all of them were astronomical, so I couldn’t even think of buying them in the game.
‘But I am different now.’
For this purpose, while other possessors were only going through major dungeons, I was robbing every little detail.
You can save one of the auction items this time.
Perhaps sometime today, Abel remembers Melanie as a sassy, sassy tomboy who helps her daughter around her alley and receives invitations.
I can easily participate in auctions using my noble status, but Abel was not.
It was time to think about the auction.
“Luan! “Let’s go too!”
“Huh?”
Suddenly Deborah was right in front of her, smiling broadly at me and holding out her hand.
When I looked around, I saw that all the children in the class were leaving the classroom.
“Deborah? What’s going on?”
“Were you sleeping again? The results of dispatching to the front lines were posted on the central bulletin board! Let’s go!”
She forcibly pulls her arms away.
I stood up hesitantly at that proactive action and asked nervously.
“But why are you so clingy these days?”
“It all sticks? When am I?”
“It’s still like that at some point. You said you didn’t want people to think you were dating me? “Isn’t that why you haven’t spoken in class as much as possible?”
Recently, he seemed to be pushing away my very existence for no reason, but even when we were close before that, he did not reveal his closeness to me when other students were watching.
Even though it is as empty as it is now, it has never been like this in an open place like a classroom.
Deborah hesitated at my words, rolled her eyes and offered her excuse.
“Well, I don’t think that’s of much use anymore. “Anyway, it was all in vain when we fought against each other.”
“Really?”
“Of course! He even kissed me on the cheek in front of the whole school, so who would think that we didn’t have a good relationship? I’m glad Master didn’t come. “If you had come, wouldn’ t Luan have died?”
“That’s really fortunate.”
He says he cares for his students a lot, but he is so extreme that he would kill them.
“Anyway! First, go to the central bulletin board. “We’re the only ones left!”
“I get it. I understand.”
I pretended not to be able to resist her urging her and obediently walked out of the classroom, being dragged by Deborah’s her hand her.
While moving, I suddenly thought.
‘Should I borrow some money from Deborah?’
I’ve made quite a lot of money by working hard on shit shows, but even so, I’ll run out of money if I buy one auction item.
If you can borrow money from Deborah and buy two or three, it will be a huge benefit.
If it were her, I don’t think she would urge me to pay the money back quickly.
‘Am I a genius?’
After praising myself in my mind, I thought it was time to open my mouth.
“Deborah. “I have a favor to ask you. Is that okay?”
“Please?”
“Huh. “Can you lend me some money?”
“Money… “This?”
Deborah is taken aback by the somewhat unexpected request.
The way he tilts his head his is so cute that I want to suck his cheeks his.
“Huh. I want to buy something this time, but I don’t have enough money. “Can you lend it to me?”
“… “How much?”
“Well? One… About 50,000 gold?”
“Hey! Oh, fifty thousand gold?”
“Huh. “Why not?”
Deborah looked horrified.
It was worth it because Oman Gold was worth approximately 50 billion won in Korean won.
There is no way she, from her commoner background, would have that much money. Deborah immediately whipped her head from side to side.
“Oh, no! “I don’t have that much money!”
“I can’t possibly do it?”
“Well, I don’t have any money! Even if I want to lend it to you, I can’t!”
“Please, I beg you. Huh? If you lend me money, I will grant you one wish. “How are you?”
Shock!
At that moment, Deborah’s shoulders flinched.
It was a half-joking move, but she carefully made eye contact as if she had a wish for me.
“… Really?”
“Of course. If you lend me 50,000 gold, is your wish all that big? Say anything. “I will listen to everything.”
“But I really don’t have any money… ” .”
It is impossible to create money that does not exist.
Looking at Deborah’s troubled face, I quietly whispered,
“But Deborah. When will the magic tool be completed?”
“Yes? “A magic tool?”
“Huh. It’s already been about two weeks. By the way, am I lucky? Make good friends and get magic tools for free. It would probably be extremely expensive if sold. Right?”
A particularly strong accent was placed on the afterword.
As for Roxana, 50,000 gold worth is enough to make her look like gum.
In other words, if you interpret my current words, this is what it means.
Take money from the teacher.
Deborah’s face changed from bewilderment to anger in an instant as if she understood that.
“You call that a horse? “How can you do that to Master?”
“Hey, please do me a favor. I’m really in a hurry. Huh? “If you really lend me money, I’ll do anything.”
“… “What are you trying to do?”
“I have something to buy. “I must have that.”
Actually, I’ll buy the top auction item with my own hands, and I’ll use the money Deborah lends me to buy something else, but that’s not important.
The important thing is to show my will!
“Things?”
“Huh. Only with this can we save the lives of countless people in the future. The future of this world is in your hands.”
“Don’t lie! It’s so grand! Exaggeration should be done in moderation! ‘
“It’s not an exaggeration. I am sincere.”
There is no lie in this statement.
If I don’t get the auction item and all sorts of bad luck happens and things turn out to be the worst, this world could truly be destroyed.
Of course, this was the same assumption as worrying about being struck by lightning while walking down the street.
Deborah’s face hardened little by little as she met my serious expression.
“Really? Is it necessary?”
“Huh. I only have you You are hope.”
“Ugh… “Don’t say things like that!”
Her face turns red and she hits my chest.
I could see from that cute antal that he was willing to accept my request.
Soon, Deborah calmed down.
“I’ll lend it to you. Instead, there is one condition…”
“Thank you! “I love you Deborah!”
“Kyaaaaa!”
After receiving her unexpected harvest her, I hugged her and confessed my 100% sincerity her.
Deborah screamed as she lifted her soft female body with all her might and spun it around.
“Let go, let go! “Let go of this!”
“Absolutely not! After all, you are the best!”
“Listen to me!”
Not only her cheeks but also her neck and ears her turned bright red from embarrassment as she acted like this in the hallway where everyone could see.
She covered her face with her hands and complained of her shame.
After a while, after enjoying all the joy, I lowered myself to the floor and Deborah gave me a heartfelt peck on the solar plexus! I hit him.
“Are you crazy? “What are you doing while people are watching?”
“What do you think? “You might think they’re just a moderately sweet couple.”
“That’s why it’s a problem! Seeing…”
Deborah takes it quite sensitively. Is there even a guy you like?
As I was frozen awkwardly, feeling like I was crawling on the floor, Deborah continued what she had just said.
“It’s more about the conditions.”
“… Yes.”
“Instead of lending me money, I will also accompany you to the auction house.”
“Are you serious?”
“Yes. I’m serious. Otherwise, it won’t work.”
Could it be an illusion?
If there was a guy I really liked, he wouldn’t think of accompanying me to the auction.
It’s a secret auction, so everyone wears masks to cover their faces, but wouldn’t it be a big shame if they even ran into each other there?
Of course, I will disguise myself before entering the auction house.
‘What can I do?’
I didn’t know what would happen in this auction, so I was planning on keeping it as uninvolved as possible, but I have no choice.
Let’s make sure that this is what happened.
“Deborah. If you are going to accompany me to the auction house, there is something I must say before that.”
“Is this something you really need to say?”
“Yes.”
I looked around, saw that the hallway was already empty, and sent a message.
-It’s about a possessed person.
Deborah’s eyes widened.
-A possessed person?
-Huh. Probably a lot of people will participate this time. So it can be dangerous. Is it still okay?
She didn’t even ask him to help her fight off her possessors. If you want that much, you really are trash with no conscience.
But as if laughing at my thoughts, this kind girl made a bold choice.
-Then I’ll catch it too!
-… Catch it?
-Yes! Let’s find out together!
She clenches her fists.
Her appearance is really cute and trustworthy, and her smile comes out.
I nodded obediently.
-Okay. Then help me.
-Leave it to me!
Afterwards we talked about the auction.
What is the structure, what kind of products are produced, what is the approximate price, what are the areas to watch out for, and so on.
Meanwhile, we arrived at the central bulletin board.
“And! Luan! Look over there!”
“Where… Oh. It’s over there.”
While looking at the bulletin board with Deborah, I was able to find our names at the top.
Deborah, of course, and I also went through various events this time, and that was reflected in her score, and she earned a high rating.
Originally, high grades were a dangerous factor that could arouse suspicion among possessors, but since this was a group evaluation, it was okay.
Unless you’re an idiot like Kenneth, this isn’t enough to convince you.
We chatted about this dispatch for a while and then returned to our class.
*
“Luan!”
Black hair and deep emerald eyes. A woman with a sharp cat face and tear spots approached with a bright smile.
It was Deborah in disguise.
Wearing a gorgeous dress according to her dress code, she exuded noble charm.
Deborah, standing in front, looked up at me blankly.
“Why aren’t you saying anything?”
“It’s really Luan! “It was so different that I didn’t recognize it.”
“Okay? I don’t recognize you at all either. “It looks really fierce, doesn’t it?”
“Is it so? Luan looks very calm like that.”
“What does that mean?”
“Well?”
Whenever I had to avoid it, it became very easy.
If this continues, there may come a day when I lose out to Deborah. I think we should seize the opportunity and establish discipline.
‘Not today.’
Deciding to show her mercy, I grinned at her and held out one of her arms to her.
“Shall we go then?”
“Hi-Hi! Yes.”
Deborah quickly closed to her arm.
So we got on the carriage and headed towards the auction house.
‘I hope things work out well.’
I hope I can safely purchase two auction items like this without any incident. As a bonus, if there are more possessors, find out who they are.
