I Noticed That It Was an Academy After 10 Years

120.Office Workers Do Not Have Summer Vacation (4)

“How do I look? “Isn’t it cute?”

Milia looked up at me and smiled while wearing a pure white rabbit mask that I couldn’t tell what it was made of. It was a mask that suited her well because she had red eyes.

“Well, me too…”

“Is it a cat?”

A mask with impressive black cat ears catches my eye. This was the mask that Elisa chose after thinking about it for quite some time.

“Aren’t your ears cute…?”

As she said that, she looked up at me with a secret expectant look and Elisha’s ears turned red.

“Okay. It suits you well.”

“Hehe…”

[Wow… It’s a flower field! Flower field.]

“It’s noisy.”

“Yes?”

“Not you, but the grimoire. “It’s because I keep talking about it.”

“John! We have to get in quickly!”

“I get it. Mimicry.”

[You can’t keep it that long, so be careful.]

As Lue said, I can’t maintain it for long with my magic power, but it’s still much better than a stuffy mask. I touched my cheek with my hand, frowning at the wet and sticky feeling that stuck to my face.

“…It would be better to just wear a mask.”

“Wow, it looks like a monster. I don’t know anything else, but I don’t think anyone will touch it.”

At Sif’s words, I looked at Millia. Millia also looked up at my face with a subtle expression and said one more thing.

“Why are you wearing a kraken on your face?”

…Does it look like that?

“Well, I still think it’s cool… “

“There is no need to force praise.”

I lifted the spell. Rather than waste magical energy on something like this, I’d rather just wear an uncomfortable mask. With a normal face again, I looked at the masks on the shelf. However, all of the masks were cute in size and appearance, so they were somewhat inappropriate for me to use.

After looking around for so long, I found a doll mask in the corner. The fairly large doll mask had a rather familiar appearance. Should I choose this?

“Hey, how much is this?”

“5 silver coins will do. “Customer.”

“That’s cheap.”

“No one used it for a long time because there was no one who could fit it. It’s not like selling old things for a lot of money…”

Considering that each child’s mask costs 1-2 gold coins, it was definitely a cheap price, so without hesitation, I picked up the doll mask and asked the mask seller.

“Can I try it out?”

“As much as you want.”

With the store owner’s permission, I shook off the dust with my hands and put on the doll mask.

I feel a little uncomfortable. It’s a little difficult to breathe. It felt stuffy somehow. But since this was the only size that fit my head, I took five silver coins out of my purse and placed them on the counter.

“Let’s use it well.”

“John John, are those horns real?”

“Of course it’s fake.”

“Can I touch it?”

At Millia’s words, I got down on my knees and bowed my head to her. There is a tickling sound in my ears and my head feels slightly stinging. It seemed like my hair was being dragged by the leather of the doll mask.

“What, it’s soft. “It’s not fun.”

“It kind of looks like a doll…”

“It seems like a pretty high-quality material, right?”

“Slowly take your hands off. Because people are staring.”

There are three beauties, so they stand out in a good or bad way. I stood up as soon as the three of us took our hands off the doll masks.

The field of view between the eye sockets is narrow. It’s something that’s made in the form of a doll mask, so it can’t be helped, but it’s still uncomfortable. Still, thanks to its intimidating appearance, it may be able to block the approach of moths to some extent. I slightly adjusted my doll mask and spoke to Sif.

“Sif. From now on, I’ll call you by nickname instead of name.”

“Call it Black Tail. That’s what they call it here.”

“Then am I a Dullahan?”

Isn’t that too blatant? No one would doubt it.

I thought as I glanced at the band around Milia’s neck. When I mentioned Durahan, I couldn’t help but stare. Looking at it like this, the clunky design is a bit annoying.

I think I should think about making it out of more advanced materials. It’s hard to say that I have a good sense of aesthetics, but I think I can make something that would look good on a girl. I engraved ‘make a new neck band’ in my head.

“Well, I’ll go with…” “Rose… “

Rose…La.

Elisa’s face was slightly red as she said that. Am I embarrassed? I let the words roll around in her mouth like candy for a while before taking them out.

“Rose. That’s a good nickname.”

“Hehe…”

“What do you call John?”

“…Call me Minota.”

Since I couldn’t think of anything in particular, I decided to truncate the name of the Minotaur doll mask to fit. Since it was a name I would use a few times anyway and then throw it away, there was no need to put any effort into coming up with it.

“Minota?”

“Yes.”

“It seems like it was built very roughly…”

“Well, I see…”

“John doesn’t have a talent for naming names?”

The reaction is too subtle. I sighed as I looked at the three kids whispering to each other.

——————–

“Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to our Robron Auction House! My name is Kaliba Robron, and I am the manager of this auction house! “Three generations have been running this auction house!”

A middle-aged man with a handsome appearance announced the start of the auction by spreading his arms in an exaggerated motion on stage. I stood like a bodyguard behind the three kids who were preoccupied with the auction and looked around. People wearing luxurious clothes that can be seen at a glance.

Since the prices of the items being auctioned are high, it is noticeable that they are accompanied by an escort. Thinking that there might be influential people among them, I couldn’t help but focus on the masks that covered people’s faces.

Crows, Dukes, wolves, bears, cats, pigs, tigers…Is there a tiger here too? There’s also something like a plague doctor mask. Seeing that there was almost no overlap between them, I thought it was meant to appeal to one’s personality. As I was watching with interest, I made eye contact with the blond-haired blue butterfly mask sitting in the corner.

When the butterfly mask made eye contact with me, it quickly turned its head.

…I think I saw it somewhere. It seems like the hair color has also changed.

I can’t go and ask in person, so don’t worry about it.

There is no need to pretend that you know.

“…The first item is! It’s the eyes of a griffon!”

The eyes of a gryphon. What was it used for in the game? I think it was used in magic to make a wand specializing in the wind attribute… As I was reliving the memory, people began to criticize the griffon by looking at its revealed eyes.

“Oh, you look very fine. I heard that it is difficult to find intact griffon eyes…”

“It looks like a skilled hunter caught it.”

“I just needed materials to make a wand, so it turned out well.”

Most of the reviews are not nutritious. It seems like it’s a trivial thing for an opening, so there aren’t many people talking about it. I looked down at Milia, who was tugging on my sleeve with an annoyed look on her face. Milia didn’t know anything, so she asked me with her face filled with curiosity.

“Are the Gryphon’s eyes amazing?”

“It’s a pretty good item for wizards who mainly use wind magic.”

“I see~”

“Well, you know it well…”

“To make a tool, you need a lot of knowledge.”

I looked at the auction going on rather boredly, appreciative of Elisa’s praise of her. The first auction was almost over. Because there were so few people raising their hands, there were three or four people competing.

“300.”

“300 gold coins have arrived! 300! Is there anyone who can post more!”

Is it the end? Personally, I don’t know if Gryphon’s eyes are worth 300 gold coins. Maybe it’s because I’m picked by the game brain. In games, you can obtain quite a few materials through hard work.

“300 gold coins! The Gryphon’s Eye was sold for 300 gold coins! “It’s not a bad price!”

What is the second item?

I hope it’s at least more exciting than the Gryphon’s eyes.

“The next prize is… Drake’s Heart!”

I’m a bit bored this time too. There is no point in coming to the auction house if things like this keep happening. It’s worth watching when something unique comes out.

One by one, the items were removed, and it wasn’t until the fifth time that quite interesting products began to appear.

“It seems that many people are disappointed with the products that have been released so far! But this time it’s different! Live up to your expectations! Fifth product! That’s right!

A magic sword made by the dwarven craftsman Eitri! Salamander! “

…Oh.

I didn’t expect to see that magic sword here. It’s a unique weapon that’s difficult to purchase in the beginning, but after that it’s difficult to use and is treated as a joke, right? Since this is reality, it might be more useful.

“Wow, John-“

“Call me Minotaur.”

“Minota! That sword is so shiny!”

“Oh, it seems like there’s a lot of magic at work… “

“I think it will cost more than 1,000 gold?”

“1000 gold. It’s expensive…”

I think I could achieve similar performance if I had the materials. It may be difficult to imitate the magic engraved on a weapon, but I had a way to recreate it in my own way. To be exact, it’s closer to what I’m planning. Once you have the materials, you can imitate it or not.

So, there were ingredients that had to be obtained as much as possible from the black market.

“1300!”

“1400!”

“If I do well, it will be over 2000, right?”

“If it’s Eitri’s work, it’s worth it. Frost Breath, the best magic sword made by Eitri, was sold for 5000 gold coins, right? That makes it an attractive item to sword collectors.”

“It’s really ironic if you think about it that way. Weapons that should be used on the battlefield are reduced to nothing more than collectibles.”

Turning a deaf ear to the rather serious conversations of the guests, I watched as the fifth magic sword was handed over to the man wearing the pig mask with a sigh filled with regret.

I’m still a bit bored.

That was when I couldn’t control my boredom and yawned.

“I don’t know if you were satisfied with the fifth product! Maybe some of you were disappointed with today’s product and put your butt off the chair! But it’s still too early to get off your ass! Surprisingly, the last item in this auction is a ‘magic book’!”

“What a grimoire…”

“I heard that there are no magic books discovered recently…”

At Robron’s words that turned the atmosphere around, the once quiet auction house began to fill with the sound of whispering. Robron grinned and clapped his hands as if he had targeted this moment.

“But the main dish comes after the appetizer! The appetizers aren’t finished yet, so please wait just a little longer!”

The story is to keep watching until the end.

[For some reason, it smelled like dirt, so there was a grimoire?]

“It’s dirt…”

[Even so, it’s a cheap grimoire compared to mine.]

That would be the case compared to you, the unidentified grimoire. Still, a grimoire was a bigger product than I expected, so I called the waiter, ordered a drink, and leaned back in my chair.

“Well, it’s time to introduce the sixth product! Gem collectors might rejoice this time! The product we are introducing this time is! It is a ‘lava crystal stone’!”

“What is that?”

“This is my first time hearing about it. “Do you know anything?”

“This is my first time hearing it…”

“It’s not that pretty for a gem. The purity also seems low. “The collection value will drop.”

“Still, since this is a gem they’ve seen for the first time, wouldn’t collectors run away with their eyes lit up?”

“Well… It seems like a bait product. “Isn’t it clear that the intention is to come up with something big next time?”

…Why is that jewel here?

Is there an item that can only be obtained in the mid to late game?

I stared blankly at the lava crystal, unable to hide my embarrassment at the appearance of an item that I had always wanted to obtain someday.

You have to buy this!

A god of shortcomings has descended into my pocket.
