MEMORIZE

The interior of the building was certainly unusual. No, I was right to think that it was a camouflage structure, not a building. Instead of a large space such as a lobby or lounge, it is covered with black cloth. All I could see was a straight dark passageway.

The gatekeeper's guidance didn't last long. When I felt the road leaning down slowly, a reception desk appeared in front of me. There stood a woman in a slightly lewd dress with broad shoulders.

"Welcome. I've been waiting."

The woman leaned her right hand against her chest and smiled softly.

By the way, I've been waiting for you..

"I'd like to get straight to the point because the auction is about to start, is that okay?"

"Sure thing."

"First of all, today's auction is in blind format. There are a total of ten items on the auction list."

"Yes."

"Then I have to give you a seat.We separate VIP seats and regular seats. Oh, you know you have to pay for a new digit, right?”

"Of course."

I bounced a jewel that I had taken out in advance. The woman, who was caught with her stylish hand movements, looked at everything and smiled satisfactorily.

"Wow, that's a beautiful tombstone. It's too much for a regular seat, and if you pay for it as a VIP seat, it'll be perfect."

"To the VIP seat."

"Thank you! Then I'll give you the last seat on the left side of this floor. You can go in right now."

"The far left…I see."

It was a fine difference, but when he said "the end," he cut it off. I'm not stupid enough to not understand this.

Soon, the reception desk split in half and the woman stepped aside. Behind it, a square hole about two meters in diameter was drilled into the floor of the aisle, and a staircase was seen descending. Oh, does it run an auction house underground?

"Thank you for attending and I hope you have a great time."

I calmly entered the reception desk listening to the ceremonial greetings. Soon before going down the stairs, a silent voice suddenly flowed into my ears.

"…Please don't forget. It's the last digit on the last digit. Well, you'll know when you see it. Whoo-hoo."

I know, I understand.

I nodded down the stairs.

Of course, I was the only one entering the VIP room.

"Huh? Well, aren't you going in?"

"Can I have a regular seat, please?”

"…what?"

"I'd like a regular seat. As far back as possible. Oh! And I think you just tied it up with him and paid for it, but he does about 600 gold coins for the gold coins. Since you said it fits perfectly, the price of the VIP seats is 300 gold coins per each. Then you'll have to give me the rest of the 300 gold coins, minus the regular seats?”

"Cow, sir?"

"I'm sorry. I tried to give you a tip, but I was a little upset when I saw you tailing my guy. We're the same girl, so you understand how I feel, right?”

I laughed inside.

The underground auction house was decorated with an atmosphere similar to that of a theater. No, it's a modern movie theater.

On the first floor, there is an oval stage covered with red curtains and about 50 meters away, with about a hundred-looking regular seats arranged neatly in ten rows. The seats were almost half full.

I looked down for a moment and moved from the left to the last compartment as I heard. The difference between VIP and regular seats is not significant. First of all, there are divided floors, and unlike open seats, there are partitions in the left and right directions.

In addition, it provides many conveniences when requested, but in large terms, this was all. If you think about it by plane, it's the difference between First and Economy classes.

Inside the partition, as expected, there were several facilities. There was also a calling seat that can be reached by reaching out to the person, or a correction of the communication needed to make a bid. The sofa on the bed looks a little high, but it'll show that much of the bottom.

But these things are not important.

Before sitting on the sofa, I watched carefully, pretending to warm up. But I looked at the ceiling, the floor, the corner, and so on, but I didn't find anything unusual. I wouldn't have taken care of things in vain if I were to participate in this place.

"Hwa-jung.

- What?

Don't you feel any difference around here?’

What kind of alienation?

For example, a small flow of mana.’

- That's it. - Down there is a huge....

Not below, but within the meter of where I am right now.

Well, except for you, I can feel about six. It's hard to see as human magic...Why are you asking that all of a sudden?

Why do you ask? Today's success depends on how much you don't doubt. Wouldn't it be bad in many ways if I looked around?

When he murmured inside, Hwajeong said, "I don't understand what you mean," nagging him to speak properly.

Anyway, it's six.

'That's more than I thought.’

It was then. Naturally, the crystal house for communication turned off the lights in the hall lights went out. Suddenly, my vision went dark.

But it's dark for a while. Soon, the curtains were heard rolling up quickly, and the ceiling's back was focused on the stage. In time, a quiet silence struck, and suddenly a loud noise scratched the ear.

Drum roll, Drum roll!

After a while, the woman I saw at the reception desk appeared from the right side of the stage with the sound of something rolling.

At first, his face was stiff, but he soon relaxed and smiled beautifully. A small correction of communication was hung on the left ear like a headphone, and a hand cart covered with a white cloth was pulled out of the right hand.

Is this the beginning?

"You've been waiting a long time. First of all, thank you very much for coming here today..”

I plopped down on the sofa of my bed with my eyes up high. He then bounced the gold coin and repeatedly picked it up, activating the third eye.

Let's see, a total of ten are coming out today. I don't think I'm short of funds, but....

"…kick."

Well, you don't have to use it all.

Well, let's get started.

I got my mouth wet slightly.

*

"…That was a long greeting. With my deepest apologies, we will now begin the auction!"

At the same time as the cry, the white cloth covered in the manual cart was tilted wide. Dozens of pairs of eyes caught her eye in no time, but the woman never lost her smile. I know that these eyes don't look at me.

Anyway, the first item to make its debut was a beautiful, cross-shaped souvenir with a thick jewel in the center, which looks about 15 centimeters long. It was colorful as if it had been made quite a long time ago, but there was an antique vibe to it, wondering if the craftsman had carefully worked on it.

"Oh, this is a pretty cross?"

The woman opened her rabbit eyes and exaggeratedly pretended to be surprised.

"Hmm. It's pretty on the outside, but the substance is important, right? The effect... Oh, I almost said it. …as a matter of fact! This is top secret. I don't know the full effectiveness of the auction?"

The woman who spoke with a smirk looked one eye closed.

But no matter how much I try to spice up, the reaction is very, very cold. Sometimes, "Hmm. Does this host pick crazy girls?" or "Why?" "It's cute in its own way." The majority of users who participated in the auction keep an eye on the items as if they were not interested at all.

Of course, there's a reason why I'm so focused on my eyes.

Originally, it is referred to as a blind auction in which all bidders disclose their prices at the same time and the person who offers the highest price wins the bid.

However, blind auctions on the streets of the night are carried out on a total of four principles.

1. Prices will be disclosed, but not simultaneously, but will follow the existing auction method.

2. Do not set a starting value for any item.

3. Items can be checked with the naked eye.

4. However, until the auction is over, the Goose Apparel (including related magic) shall not be disclosed or used.

Nevertheless, it is not considered a hit or miss. Because blind auctions post certain guaranteed performance. So it's kind of a safeguard.

If you're lucky, you can buy good things at a relatively low price. On the contrary, when competition is overheated, there are cases where prices are tens of times higher. In the end, the only thing to trust was the user's keenness.

It was then. The woman looking at the audience put her hand on the correction and suddenly smiled.

"Yes, it starts with 500 gold coins."

"Oh, it went up to 1,000 gold right away. Five hundred gold coins! Aren't you angry? Are you going to lose like this?”

"Oh my. As soon as I said it, 1,500 gold coins came out. By the way, who was it just now? Your voice is so nice that I'm jealous.”

"Oh, 3,000 gold coins? Really? Really? I love you!"

Three thousand gold coins. Obviously not a small amount. However, considering that the customer base of the auction is not an individual who participates out of curiosity, but at least a mid-sized clan, it is not incomprehensible.

The amount rose slowly and passed over 6,000 gold coins. As the price increased, the underground auction house began to heat up little by little. Most of the participants analyze the items by maximizing their safety.

Of course, that doesn't mean everyone is focused on the auction. In the meantime, about four or seven people were paying attention to something other than the auction. At first glance, he pretends to be watching the auction, but his eyes are glancing down.

To be exact, I was hiding a crystal spray of light in my arms and sneaking in.

Meanwhile, the first item went up to 6,200 gold coins and won the bid.

"6,200 gold coins! You're wearing a lot of clothes today.

"...What? What? The first one is the dog's paw? Who was that just now!"

"Kidding~ Sorry for speaking informally."

"Now, I'm going to show you the second item right away!"

So the beginning of the blind auction went smoothly. The second purple potion was sold for 4,500 gold coins, but the third item, 100 arrows, which glistened with dark red light, threw up as much as 12,000 gold coins.

The woman, who was making a fuss about the good market today, ran out of her fourth manual cart after showing a service to take off her outer dress (although no one showed interest).

"Older sisters and brothers."

The woman who said it with a lot of aegyo,

"Yay!"

He pulled back the cloth with a cute shout.

"This time... Oh, my."

And I thought he was connecting the horse right away, and suddenly I exclaimed and blinked. Strong teeth brushed against the eyes of the woman who opened her mouth blankly.

"Uh……….What about this?"

The woman, who was reaching out slowly, stopped flirting for a moment. Unless there is a special request from participants, it is prohibited to tamper with the items.

At that time, fine flinching began to creep throughout the audience.

Some users, busy alternating between the stage and the bottom, suddenly fixed their eyes down.

In a very slightly lifted embrace, the correctional device emits a subtle glow. In the scene seen, the man who had been lying still was slowly lifting himself up. Then take the crystal ball in your right hand to your mouth.

It was that moment.

"Ah…!"

============================ Review of the work ============================

Halloween / I wanted to see you eat mermaid.

Oh, I was going to write it down, but I didn't. With the mermaid alive on the street just before the auction house.Well, anyway, I was going to write something like that, but after thinking about it, I thought it would be a cruel description. But I'm thankful that you remembered something that wasn't mentioned in a few lines, and it's amazing that you thought the same thing as me. Haha
