110 CHAPTER XIII -- INTRUDING BLACK MARKET ② (2/2)

There's nothing you can't do with transference, but there's a chain wrapped around your leg to prevent you from escaping. .......

By the time I transition over there, cut the chains, and transition to the castle, they'll see my face .......

I mean, people know I can use the transition, so even if I hide my face, they'll know it's me: .......

It's no use. I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

I've decided to give up and see who will buy her.

'Then we'll start at two million vectors.

Sixty million from the start or ...... that's how much she's worth.

Three million vectors!

Four million!

Five million!

Seven million!

Ten million will do.

Twelve million!

Fourteen million!

Fifteen million!

A heated battle ensued, and it looks like the forty-sixth man has won.

Of course, we can't tell who it is because he's wearing a mask.

''Yes, it's decided. Thirty million vectors and forty-sixth man.

About $900 million....... Is that a low price for a duchess or ...... high for a duchess?

'd*mn it. I didn't realize it would be so high.

It's no use. The 46 is the head of the Morland family himself. He would have given all his money to save your daughter.

Huh?　Was it?

Yeah, well, that's no use. There's no way I'm going to be able to beat the entire duke family's fortune .

So, it looks like Ms. Sierra's gonna be okay to go home.

Yeah, I'm glad I didn't have to do anything.

Anyway, people can tell who you are even if you're wearing a mask.

You shouldn't think you're okay wearing a mask.

Then that's the last item for today. I'm sure many of you came here today for this.　Today's centerpiece, the illusory magical gemstone, is here.

With the introduction of the facilitator ...... something familiar was brought in.

(Hey, aren't those the magic stones I poured my magic power into?)

Yes. The magical stone is filled with the magic of Master Leo.

(Is that the highlight of the day?)

(Yes . (I don't think Leo-sama knows this, but magical stones with that much magic in them are never on the market.)

(Yes, it was: ......)

We've got to take better care of this.

Although it is an ordinary magical stone, it is a magical gemstone with a luster and magical power that is said to be fantastic. Normally, it would have been sold at an auction on the ground, but due to a special reason, it will be sold here.

Is there a problem?　What's so special about my magic stone?

I'm pretty sure they can't get it off the ground because it's stolen.

Yeah, yeah. Wouldn't that have been a hell of a lot of money if it was on the ground?

The guys who helped me figure it out.

So it was stolen.

Do you know when it was stolen, Anna?

(No, that one was apparently stolen after Master Leo sold it at the material store.)

The milliner?　(Oh, by the way, I sold it to get mithril when I was little.)

I think it was ten white gold coins .

It was about $30 million or so ...... Maybe it was really more than that: .......

The material guy's dad, you tricked me because I'm a kid, didn't you?

I don't think this place is all that different. Didn't you notice?　That there are so many women in this hall today.

Yeah, that's for sure . If you ask me, there's a lot of women with you: ......

When I was reminiscing about my dad at the material store, I heard that conversation from my uncles.

Sure, if you ask me, I feel like that .......

'You'll definitely get that one, won't you?'

Yeah, okay.

”Darling, I need that one.

Yeah, we'll take care of it.

I only had to look around to hear that.

This is going to be another heated battle.

”Then we'll begin with 5 million vectors.

Starting at $150 million: ....... Is my magic stone worth that much?

Just as I was thinking about that, the auction started.

”Ten million vectors!

Twenty million!

Thirty million!

Thirty-five million!

40 million!

Fifty million!

Sixty million!

Maybe it's because there's a woman next to me, but the guys are saying higher and higher prices .

I wonder how high it's going to go from here: .......

'A hundred million!'

”......

Everyone in this room turned to the man who said 100 million.

And no one had anything to say.

”Yes, it's decided. What a hundred million vectors and eleven.

Three billion dollars: ....... To the extent that I can't count, I've got about as many magic stones in my backpack as that one: .......

I definitely don't think it's worth 3 billion yen .

''d*mn it ....... It's the princess's property again. ......

These days, all jewelry is sold off to the princess's men. Last time I saw one, it was for an unbelievable amount of money.

The uncles gave me some more information.

I see, so the eleventh was Princess Alvar's man.

That's why the people in the hall must have given up when they saw the eleventh man who said a hundred million words.

There's no way they could win a battle against a country.

Their royalty is known for their greed.

They would tell their men to go in and make the highest bid, no matter how much it cost.

Well, it's done, let's go home.

Now that I've gleaned a bit of information, I think I'll let the rats do the rest.

I let go of the rats I had in my pocket and moved to the castle.
