Chapter 28 (1/2)
”…A demihuman?”
”Is that… a beastman?”
Within the dark auction hall, all eyes were on the stage The fla alone
With the thief revealed to be the girl who had been with thelared at the girl
”…Shedy!”
But was that girl truly her?
The first tiht she was a ten-year old kid The second time, she looked closer to eleven Perhaps his first esti ic, as they often did arow up faster Yet Shedy, standing on the stage, looked as if she had gained another year of age and height within aslady She was showing the first hints of a deadly beauty
However, it wasn't theabout her The audience was all staring at the pair of long, snohite ears softly dangling fro ears, true, but the longest a them was only around 10 centimeters No one had heard of, nor seen, such a species of beast as to reach her chin To have ears of a rabbit
”…so, that girl was a rabbit beastman!!” Salia's shout echoed within the silent hall Her words couldn't be clearer
”…rabbit?” ”A rabbit…” ”Rabbit…!!!”
Mutters sounded out one by one As they began to co her with fear and terror Desire flooded their eyes
”Get me that bunny!! That critter is MINE!!”
In one of the second floor booth seats, a chubbyand screa of this Trestan Kingdo to deter the other attendees, full of the rich and the nobilities of other countries Proreed, they stood up, one after another, and gave orders to their own subordinates
”Catch that rabbit girl!”
”No, auction her! I'll pay one hundred large golds!”
”My trading firuards in here!”
”Don't fuck with dom!”
”This is an auction, who the hell cares about that?! Grab her already!!”
A rabbit beastirl was a beauty too, at that She would fetch an absurd price
Dozens of bodyguards were tripping over each other to fulfill their given orders They flooded toward the stage Seeing theuards her for our auction! Capture her, but don't you dare harold coin once she's in my hands!”
Shedy just blankly stared and blinked Her scarlet eyes swept through the hall, stopping at the approaching wave of guardsht, just stay calet up on the stage Just as his bare hands were about to grab the girl, his irl dashed in Her dagger tore through his throat
Then she bounced off Several bodyguards reached for her, but thefrom within her coat, their faces rapidly turned blue and their ers and claws ripped theic?
The bodyguards realized this was no siic, soeons
”This uards quickly changed gears and grabbed a spear fro off the h!!”
Yet despite his see, thehis balance The girl grabbed his face His entire body rapidly turned pale as if the heat was being sucked out of him In a blink of an eye, white ice covered him whole, and as the final slivers of life left hi the ruthless execution right in front of theuards all went pale They gulped
On the second floor seating, Tiz was taking in the sight with blazing eyes He asked the butler beside hi just as pale as the bodyguards
”Gra on?! Howthat they were euardsthe adventurers, they were Rank 3
And the attendees here were all either people with deep pockets or were powerful nobility Their bodyguards must be at least Rank 4, like Salia Perhaps there were even Rank 5s – fighters as skilled as ht, possessing high ic Her combat poas close to 400
