Night Session (3)
The next item is a magic tool for far-sight. A person who looks about the size of a pinky finger with the naked eye can be seen clearly enough to see what kind of expression they are making when.
Ohh!
It seems to be a magic tool like a telescope or binoculars.
It seems to have a pretty good performance.Allen, Elena, shall we bid on it!Yea!
I will let the kids bid on it because it might come in useful. For me, binoculars are not a rare thing, but unlike the previous world, here, even if you want such a tool, you cant buy it easily.
Got it!
The children who were completely used to the auction easily got their hands on it.
Ah, I know that! The one that sends letters!
Thats right.
The next item seemed to be a simplified version of the teleportation magic tool.Thats right, Takumi! If you have enough funds, please bid on that and carry it around!
Hm?
If you have that magic tool, we can always get in touch!
Seeing the teleportation magic tool, Al-sama made a proposal as if he had come up with a good idea. If we have that, we could exchange letters directly no matter where we are, huh.
Umm you see.
What is it?
Which dungeon was it? Im sure we got it from a treasure chest or something and it should be unused in the Infinite Storage it is unused, right? I didnt sell it did I?
Im sorry. We have it.
Hahh!? You have it!?
When I honestly told Al-sama that we already had the teleportation magic tool, he raised his voice in surprise.
Since when did you have it!?
Um when was it? I remember getting it in a dungeon, but I dont remember which one at all
Umm Bailey?
Was it Bailey? Then its the Dungeon of Ripples.
The childrens memories seem to be vague as well, but they seem to remember more than me.
Let me know the number later. In fact, notify all of your guardians!
Guardians? Well, since they are looking after me, its not an exaggeration to say that they are guardians, right? Then it would be the Ruven and Risner families.
I dont mind telling you, but can the teleportation magic tool be reached even if its stored in the Infinite Storage or a magic bag?
Im pretty sure that should be fine. You can hear a sound when something is coming your way.
A sound?
Maybe when something arrives from the Gods like Syl, it resonates in my mindPiron. Is that not perhaps not related to Syl and others, but to the teleportation magic tool instead?
Ill test it before we leave the Capital again.
Thats good. Ill take care of the sending side. Come to the castle at a later date.
Understood.
He probably means hell try sending a letter from the teleportation magic tool at the castle. Ill gratefully participate in the experiment.
And now, for the last item!
After that, we spent the time watching the bidding of items we had put up for auction or items I didnt particularly want, but it seems that we have finally reached the last item.
The last one is the Blue Rose Drops.
There are many who want that.
When the auction began, many people participated.
Wow, so many people~
Well, this is what I expected.
Is that so? Well, I knew there were people who wanted it, but I didnt think it would be this many.
I mean, its the last resort for people who cant have children even if they wanted them. Well, not everyone participating in the auction is at the final stage. There are probably also merchants participating for resale purposes or as souvenirs for face-to-face connections.
Oh, the first winner has been decided.
That was intense.
The difference in expression between those who won the bid and those who didnt was intense.
Oh, the excitement returned with great force~
But when the second Blue Rose Drops appeared, the venue was in a great uproar again.
Instead of deciding all three at once like with the Crystal Elks antlers, they keep them going one after another like with the Heavenly Drops.
Well, its the last item.
The auction for the second Blue Rose Drops was also intense, and when the third medicine appeared as if to push it further, cheers rose from the venue. But well, as expected, the host was emphasizing that this really was the last one, so as not to raise expectations among the participants that there might still be more to come.
Its over~
Haha, was it that much fun?
Yeah! It was fun!
When the host gave the closing remarks, the children looked disappointed.
Allen, Elena, do you want to come again?
Is it okay? We want to!
Yes, of course, its fine.
They seem to have really enjoyed the auction.
This scale of auction is held twice a year. At the beginning of the year and at the end of summer. If youre in the Capital at that time, lets come together again.
Its a promise!
Yes, its a promise.
They firmly made their next promise with Al-sama. Well, thats fine. It was fun for me to watch, and its nice to find a bargain.
Well then, Takumi, thank you for joining me today. Mm~ just having you guys here with me made it fun from start to finish, not boring at all.
Hahaha~ Im glad we could help with your boredom.
Just watching the auction without actively participating must be very boring. Its fantastic that Al-sama had fun.
Well, I had fun too, and I got what I wanted. Thank you again.
Yes, lets put the teleportation magic tool to practical use to convey that plan! Can you come to the castle tomorrow afternoon?
Tomorrow!? Isnt that too soon?
Youre leaving the Capital soon, arent you? Then its definitely better to get it done sooner! If something unexpected happens and you guys suddenly leave the Capital, Ill regret it!
I feel like Al-sama just set a flag for me but thats just my imagination, right?
I dont have any plans for a sudden departure
Speaking of which, we had talked about going to the advanced dungeon after the auction was over, but we hadnt specifically decided when to leave. I need to discuss it with the children.
Well, I didnt have any plans for tomorrow, so if its okay with you, we will come.
Good. Then Ill be waiting.
Understood.
For now, lets test drive the teleportation magic tool tomorrow, as Al-sama requested.
Allen, Elena, lets go pick up the items you won~
Yay~
Lastly, we went to pick up the items the kids won and settled the account but as expected, we didnt have to pay, but received the sales proceeds instead.
Thats strange~
Strange?
I was trying to spend money, but it feels like we didnt spend any at all.
Thats strange~
Isnt it~?
I was planning to use my savings, but instead of decreasing, they increased.
Oniichan!
Next time!
Lets buy more!
Yeah. Next time we participate in an auction, we should buy what we want.
So the goal for the next auction was to spend money, but later on I realized that I shouldnt have to put anything up for auction for that in the first place.
