He had already expected it to be like thisHe let out a sigh as he spoke
”You guys can each pick out one thing you want to eat”
”Ya-ho! I love you, Artpe!”
”Oppa, I want to eat those large candies!”
The hero and the Warrior Priestess started chewing on the candy-coated apple candies they bought from a vendorThey were quite innocent as they showed si the treatsArtpe took the precaution of trying not to draw attention of the people around theirls towards the auction
”Can anyone participate in the auction?”
”I heard a rumor that participation will be denied unless you can coold!There old!”
An enormous public auction house had been constructed in the shape of a circle, and there were a lot of peoplearound itEven if someone was murdered with the auction house, he didn't think people would pay much attention to itArtpe turned around to look at the du around with the stick that had held the candy…
”Eh-eet”
”Ooh-boohp”
Maetel had pushed the candy towards his mouth, so he decided to take a biteIt was a clean bite where the crunchy fruit within and the candy on the outside entered into his mouthHe tasted an almost unbearable amount of sweetnessHowever, that wasn't as important here…
”This candy is cursed”
”Huh!?”
Sienna and Maetel expressed their shock at the same timeIt was to be expectedThe candy had been so delicious that they were each having a second helpingThey had no idea soht blow to the heads of the two girlsThey were looking at hiave an explanation
”You are a hero, and you are an Evil Reflector, who's also a PriestessOur existence itself gives us immunity from most cursesHowever, that doesn't uys have to develop your senses”
”As expected, oppa is a…”
The curse was one of the ones he had assue and madnessIt didn't matter how much one ate the food infused with the curseFor a fixed amount of time, the curse would stay hidden within the body, and it would only activate when a certain prerequisite was met
Of course, the ite towards the auction house through various routes
'Most of the vendors on this street are selling such productsMoreover, it is cleverly hidden, so one won't pick up on it unless one posses a decent detection skill Even if one beca that can be easily dispelledIt is a very co along in a way that he had predicted The er wasn't the only one spreading across the city
If he just looked around right now, he could see the curse within food and drinksThere was even a curse spreading through airThere were all kinds of curse that amplified emotions, and there were ones that turned humans into h his Read All Creation ability
It see at the size of the plan, it seeshi+p exchanged hands
Moreover, the hero's party arrived right when the large event was prepared to go off!It was to be expected
shi+t!
'However, I can't deny the fact that I'm able to move around more freely'
Artpe waited for theave theuys to destroy this auction house right nowI want you to act crazy as if the curse of rage had been activated”
”······huh?”
The eyes of Sienna and Maetel turned roundHowever, Artpe repeated his instructions verbatiMaetel was taken aback, so she shouted out her words
”That's a cri a hero should do”
”What kind of ie do you actually associate with a hero!?”
Artpe didn't go out of his way to explain that part to them
”I want you to make your appearances a little bit uys to pretend fight, while destroying the auction houseHowever, I don't want you tothe placeYou have to show no interest in the auction houseWhat do you think?It's easy, right?”
”······”
”yyes”
At such an absurd request, Maetel was at a loss for wordsSienna was barely able to answer himArtpe continued his explanation
”Currently, there aren't uys, so you'll be able to cause a ruckus for a long timePeople will solely pay attention to the two of you, and when you completely destroy the auction house, I'll be able to achieve alWhen that happens, youdetained”
”But, Artpe, wouldn't the auction be stalled if the auction house is destroyed?”
”Of courseHowever, if they use all the available resources, they'll have no trouble starting the auction on ti the auction house?”
”That is a very good question”
Artpe let out an evil laughHe was holding the egg of the Greed beast that aiting to be hatchedAs if it could sense the curse in the air, the egg twitchedIt was a pitiful sight
”You'll find out soon enough”
There was an aathered at the central square

What kind of intro was that!?
”It isn't just one or two daysYou are quite persistent in trying to get at ive you!”
”Koohk!”

”Kyahhhhhhk!”
”Aa person flew!”
”Run!”
The angle of her flight was beautifulMiraculously, no one except Sienna was hurtThe ih to push the people crowded around the auction house backwards in fright
”Dieeeeeeeeeee!”
Before the worried people could approach Sienna, Maetel came forth for a second round of attacksSienna didn't even have tiripping the enor the strength of her entire body on that swingSienna was barely able to dodge it, and the bastard sword ith of the strike was transferred into the wall, and she easily toppled the wall
”Tthe auction house!”
