The Heroine Who Was Taken Away by the Main Character Becomes Obsessed With Me After Returning

4. Auction. (2)

“Ke-Princess Cale! Can I try that too?”

“Don’t look at me and eat. It’s been a long time, right?”

I nodded in agreement, and Ciella, eyes shining, approached the vendor selling street food.

Even if you just come on weekdays… … How about coming out on the day of the festival?

I smiled as I watched Ciela purchase food with twinkling eyes.

In the previous episodes, the market was also Ciela’s favorite place.

Eating expensive food is good.

Did you say that street food like this has its own taste?

Right after I came out, he looked at me too much, so I thought he brought me out for no reason.

Seeing that he eats well, it seems that he brought him well.

After waiting away for a while, Ciela, who bought a lot of food, jumped up and walked.

If it had a tail, it would have been shaking violently.

‘no. I don’t know about his tail, but his ears must have been pricked up.’

That’s it.

She hides her figure as an artifact now, but Ciella is a beast with blood mixed with rabbit beasts.

That’s exactly what comes to mind when you think of a hand man.

A mixture of animals and humans.

A creature that often appears in a fantasy world.

ah. I say for reference.

It is a rabbit beast with a ‘human’ face, which is not much different from what it is now without the artifact.

not furry.

It’s important, so I emphasize it twice.

Absolutely no furry

Of course, it’s not that there aren’t beasts with animal faces… … .

Rather, since there are fewer prisoners with human faces, did you say that they are discriminated against?

anyway.

The bottom line is that Ciella is a beast with a human face.

If it’s an ordinary prisoner, that’s not the case again.

It’s completely rubbish until here. My thoughts end here.

‘actually… … Whatever it is, it’s okay because it’s cute.’

Now Ciella is even humming with excitement.

This aspect also seemed different from the previous episode.

It was cute back then, but it felt calm rather than lively like now.

It might not be bad to see such an innocent look for a long time.

I looked at the watch for a moment and waved at Ciela.

“Ciella. let’s go in slowly It’s time to start.”

“yes!”

We must not forget this purpose.

Didn’t you come out to go to the auction house in the first place?

I walked ahead, and Ciella followed behind.

Omnyomnyom.

I must have felt the need to eat quickly, so I laughed out loud when I saw Ciela inhaling street food.

Just looking at what they eat now, it seems like they’ll be able to eat it in the mansion.

Eating like that and not gaining weight?

It was the same in the previous episode, but it was strange that Ciela had a slim body.

After all, I am not an ordinary human being.

“Eat slowly, Cheoncheon… … .”

rattle!

A luxurious carriage passed by as she gazed at Siela.

And when I found the wagon, I had no choice but to stand there stiffly as if frozen.

A luxurious wagon that would be used by a nobleman, but without the mark of the family.

It was a method that high-ranking aristocrats often used to hide their family, so it was difficult to identify someone.

‘… … I don’t know.’

There was no way I didn’t know.

It’s a carriage that I’ve ridden many times in previous episodes.

… … Because it was Elena’s family, the carriage of Count Ray Holton.

‘… … The Ray Holton family, why are they here?’

The city where this auction is held is Bernstein, a city in the south that is a bit far from the estate of Count Ray Holton.

It was a bit unnatural to have heard it by accident.

However, the Ray Holton family was not a family that actively participated in the auction.

“… … Confucius?”

“Oh sorry. I was thinking about something else for a while.”

As I, who had been walking in front of me, stood still, Siela, who had followed, tilted her head.

It looks like he ate all the things he was holding before he knew it.

Then, coming to my senses, I shook my head.

‘… … what. He must have just come.’

And it could have come from an auction from Countess Rayholton.

Because there’s no reason why I can’t come.

If it’s fortunate, Elena at this point isn’t very interested in things like auctions, so maybe she didn’t accompany her.

I’m just overreacting on my own.

I decided to think that way, and slowly moved to the auction house.

Unexpectedly, what kind of commotion would arise in it.

* * *

“Are you all right now, Elena?”

“Yes, Father.”

Elena smiled awkwardly at the concerned look of her father, Delial.

Seeing Elena like that, Delial said.

“If you feel like talking about your concerns at any time, you can do so. You don’t have to think about handling it alone. Isn’t that why we are family?”

“… … yes. But, it’s really okay, so don’t worry.”

Maybe it looked a little strange in my father’s eyes.

After locking myself in my room for a week, I suddenly wanted to go to an auction.

after fertilization.

Even if she needed something, Elena had never asked for anything from her parents.

It would be natural for her to think that it was strange since she said she would go to the auction house.

Of course, there was nothing I could do about it.

Because I had to participate in this auction.

‘especially… … In this auction, ‘that sword’ will come out.’

the past before regression.

It is a weapon that was active as his favorite sword, and a new sword that no other famous sword dares to compare.

‘Guardian sword’ Mane.

If you prepare it in advance, it will definitely be of great help to Cale.

Even if you look at it objectively.

In the future before the return and all the moments in the present, there was no swordsman superior to Kayle.

What goes into his hands will surely be of the greatest use.

I also thought of buying useful items to give him as gifts.

The price of the sword that won the auction at this auction before returning was 1.5 million gold.

In case you didn’t know, I brought all three million gold, the money I’ve been collecting so far… … .

Besides the sword, I didn’t know if I could buy anything useful for Cale.

“Your identity has been confirmed. By any chance, if you have a cognitive impairment artifact that you personally possess, would you mind taking it off?”

At that, Count Delial shook his head as if there was nothing in particular.

Because I didn’t have a very special artifact.

“Then, before entering, please put on this mask.”

“yes.”

At that, Delial, who had received two masks, held out one of them to Elena.

Click.

As Elena put the mask on, whining could be heard in her ears.

– Ugh, Elena is strange. That feels weird! can’t you take it off?

‘Sorry, bear with me a little. When the auction starts, the cognitive impairment artifact must be worn.’

A low-class wind spirit, a sylph.

It was also the spirit that contracted right after Chrono, the spirit of time.

As if feeling frustrated, Elena patted the sylph’s head.

Cognitive deterioration artifact to hide identity inside the auction house.

It was manners to use this artifact in the auction house, even if there were other cognitive impairment artifacts.

At least I had to stay like this until I left the auction house.

‘Chrono. Sylph please.’

-this. I didn’t sign a contract with you to do this.

‘Sorry to say that… … . I have nothing to say.’

As soon as he returned to the past, it was Chrono who was exhausted from trying to appease himself.

Lesser spirits have the intelligence of a normal child.

It would be a little regretful to leave Sylph to her again.

Seeing Ellin’s expression, Chrono smiled and said,

– Huhu, it was a joke. Then I will return to the spirit realm with this child, so I hope you have a good income from the auction.

‘huh. thank you.’

I thought maybe I could pick up something useful.

Before returning, Cale had an excellent eye for useful things, and his eyes improved as he went around with him.

‘… … hmm.’

Elena let out a small sigh at the bitter aftertaste that lingered as she recalled memories of the days when they were lovers with Cale in the past.

Picking up good things from this auction and presenting them to Cale.

It will be the first button to live a life different from the past.

──I thought so.

By a hair’s breadth, it was all taken away by a person in a different seat.

“This item is the ‘Heart of the Earth’. Need I explain more? It is one of the most outstanding elixirs, and it is also famous for containing the energy of nature deeply! We will start the auction with 300,000 gold!”

heart of the earth.

Although she couldn’t see it closely, Elena could tell because she could feel the energy of nature within it.

That it is a fairly high quality elixir.

Beep!

Elena pressed the crystal ball placed in each room and called the price.

“350,000 gold.”

“No. 13, 350,000 gold is out!”

Almost at the same time as the member of society said so, the man in the other seat raised the amount.

Beep.

“400,000 gold.”

“… … No. 21! 400,000 gold is out!”

400,000 gold.

This amount is more than the average knight’s salary.

However, it is still at an acceptable level.

Elena, who had been tapping the calculator in her head for a while, pressed the crystal ball.

Beep!

“… … 450,000, gold!”

To the extent that Elena’s troubles were put to shame.

The man in seat 21 raised the money lightly.

“million.”

“At number 21… … A million, out! If there’s no one else to upload, I’ll close it!”

Hearing the host count down, Elena neatly gave up.

It seems like he’s buying every elixir that comes out.

A million gold. It’s not that it’s not worth spending that much money, but it’s over budget.

‘… … It’s a little difficult. Unexpected.’

It was always like this.

A man who occasionally comes across tools or elixirs that he thinks are useful, and sweeps them away with a single difference.

Thanks to that, Elena barely spent any money.

… … Maybe 3 million gold, maybe not enough.

If you have that kind of wealth and eyes.

Wouldn’t they try to find out and buy ‘that sword’ when it came out?

… … that’s not okay

Elena glanced at the man, whose face, body shape, or even voice was unsure due to the effect of the cognitive decline artifact.

If, for a moment, it seemed that red hair was reflected in his figure, it would be because of his mood.

While Elena hesitated for a moment at that fact.

Does the tiger also appear if I say it?

From nob le mt l. co m

Just then, the moderator came out with a shabby sword.

I can’t believe it came out at an auction like this.

A shabby sword with nothing unique about it.

“… … came out.”

“This product is a sealed treasured sword! Even if it looks shabby, it is a luxury product guaranteed by many artisans! It is said that it is a sword that only breaks the seal and emits its light only in the hands of an approved swordsman!”

It was as described.

To be precise, a sword that changes its shape according to the image of the person holding it.

In his previous life, Kayle had released the seal on that sword and swung a sword that was completely pure white.

May Elena give him a new name.

The guardian sword, the sword that was called ‘Manet’.

After the explanation about the sword, the emcee raised the sword and shouted.

“Then, let the auction begin! The starting price of the auction is 500,000 gold!”

500,000 gold is just a starting price.

It was a price that would surprise everyone, but Elena, who didn’t pay much attention to it, glanced at the 21st seat.

A man of good fortune enough to be suspicious.

Looking at the items I’ve bought so far, it seems that they put more weight on the elixir than the artifact.

If he also participates in the auction of this item… … Because things are going to get very complicated.

“700,000 gold!”

After singing the opening song like that, Elena glanced at the 21st seat.

However, apart from such worries, he seemed to have no intention of participating in this auction at all.

Rather, it was the other number that jumped fiercely at the auction.

“… … One hundred, one million gold!”

It was the man in seat 14, right next to Elena.

A place where I just watched quietly throughout the auction.

I was relieved for a moment, but… … .

Bondi, the real dangerous enemy is not the visible enemy, but the invisible enemy.

Beep.

“1.2 million gold.”

“… … 1.5 million!”

Number 14 chases after Elena so quickly that she is startled by the momentum.

At that moment, Elena had a hunch.

Before the return, the person who bought the sealed sword with a large sum of 1.5 million gold was the man in that position.

‘… … I thought I bought it by accident in the previous episode. Wasn’t it?’

At least from his attitude, it was clear that he knew the value of the sword.

As if to rule out even the slightest possibility of missing the sword, whenever someone raised the price, they followed suit.

It’s like a hoga that feels a little nervous.

But what was frustrating was the same.

It doesn’t matter if you miss useful things. Because I couldn’t have done anything like missing the sealed sword.

Contrary to such feelings, however, prices were skyrocketing.

Beep!

Elena, who pressed the crystal ball, bid the price.

“Two million gold!”

“… … 2.5 million gold!”

However, number 14 rushes forward as if it cannot be taken away.

Elena intuited from the urgent voice that her funds were running out.

It was the same for himself.

… … Gears up to here.

please. If it goes beyond this, the sword will open its own hand.

Please let this be the limit.

Thinking so, Elena grabbed the crystal ball and shouted.

“3 million gold!”

three million gold.

From the starting price of 500,000 gold, the price was inflated six times.

At that price, even number 14, which had been calling the price immediately, seemed to hesitate for a moment.

is it

The moment I thought so.

Elena’s eyes saw the man in seat 14 putting his hand on the crystal ball.

“Four million gold.”

“… … I can’t believe it! Four million gold! It’s out!”

Amount that far exceeds the budget brought in.

The host muttered something, but it did not reach Elena’s ears.

Should I miss it like this?

It was a mistake. I couldn’t let go of my mind with only 3 million gold.

If you can’t even do things like this properly, what the hell is a regressor?

I decided to live my life for Cale.

What use is a bug that can’t even do one thing for kale?

─Knapped.

Elena, who unconsciously brought her hand to her mouth, was about to bite it off.

Her father, Delial, who had been silently watching from behind, put his hand on the crystal ball.

“5 million gold.”

“… … Oh, father?”

It was Delial who was secretly disapproving of Elena’s participation in the auction.

I never thought that I would get his help.

Elena’s eyes widened at the unexpected help.

furthermore… … What he called for was an amount of five million gold.

Delial, who looked at Elena’s round eyes, cleared her throat once and said it was nothing.

“It is a reward for growing up well without trouble. This is the first time this father has ever seen you wanting something that far.”

“… … Thank you.”

Having said that, Elena bowed her head.

Because I felt like I was going to cry a little at the unexpected help.

Soon after, the auction item came up, and after repeating the sale, a little time passed.

“Then, the last sea dragon jewel will also be confirmed at number 21 for 2.5 million gold!”

Even the last elixir was sold at number 21, and the auction ended.

I had already spent all my money, so there was nothing I could do but look around.

Seeing him cleanly brushing everything off in No. 21 only made me laugh.

Even if I had money left, I thought I wouldn’t have bought one.

‘The seat next door… … . Oh, are you gone already?’

Did he become so obsessed with the treasured sword that he gave up the moment it was taken away?

Of course, my thoughts went all the way there.

Elena, who quickly lost interest, looked at the auction with a blank expression.

After all, it was just a meaningless stranger.

Now, all you have to do is pay the money and visit the sealed sword.

Seeing that the auction was coming to an end, Elena got up to pick it up.

and that moment.

A person broke into the auction house.

“… … You can’t come in here!”

“go away! … … Well, if I can’t take that, I’ll be dead anyway!”

14 times. The moment Elena suddenly remembered the number.

After muttering that, the man picked up the sealed sword and threw something he was holding in his arms.

Push profit!

At the same time, the black smoke that flowed from the marble he threw covered the entire auction hall.

Doing such a bold thing at an auction house where even the imperial family sometimes participates.

Elena, who belatedly realized the reason, gritted her teeth.

“this. Elena, there seems to be a commotion for a while. Still… … . Elena?”

Delial, distracted by the black smoke, looked at Elena again.

It was after she had already left.

‘… … Dare I take the sword for Cale?’

If you hold onto it, it will never end easily.

no matter what kind it is
