Isekai ni Kita Boku wa Kiyoubinbode Subaya-sa Tayorina Tabi o Suru Chapter 254

Aside from the Manager, the others in the waiting room were all elderly men and women . Of course, these weren’t ordinary people either . They looked sophisticated . Probably nobles .

There were plenty of chairs and everyone sat where they liked and talked freely . At least here, it seemed like people were just generally seen as sellers, and there were no strict aristocratic rules .

“You three . Take a seat over here . ”

“Uh, sure . ”

“Aye . ”

“Th-thank you . ”

Daniela sat down to her left . Lemon didn’t hesitate to take the other seat next to Daniela, which meant I was forced to sit on the right side of the Manager .

“By the way, I don’t believe we’ve spoken before . Uh, Lemonfrost, was it?”

“Uh, ye-yes! I am Lemonfrost Grasilf . ”

“Yes, I’ve seen you with Asagi on multiple occasions . ”

I had felt that someone was staring at me a number of times once I arrived in the capital . So it was her . She had been watching me from the shadows .

Lemon and the Manager seemed to get along after that . Daniela would occasionally mutter something and the overall mood was congenial . As for me, I stared dazedly at the ceiling . I was bored… If only something interesting would happen…

“Ah . ”

“Hmm? What is it?”

The Manager turned away from Daniela to look at me . There was something that I had been wondering and it seemed like a good time to ask about it .

“Manager . Why do you go by Kapricorn Shteiner?”

“Ah, that . What took you so long to ask?”

“I had a lot on my mind and forgot . ”

Her real name was Rindo Kizugawa .

“Look at this place . Do you think I would just use my real name?”

“Uh, I didn’t have a second thought about using mine . ”

“You have no sense of danger… In any case, I did . Besides, I was pretending to have amnesia . ”

“Right… So, why that name?”

“Because I’m a Capricorn . ”

That was simple .

“And Shteiner?”

“It sounded cool .

Embarrassing .

“Well, I told them that I got my memories back . I even had my status card remade the other day . So it’s back to Rindo Kizugawa from now on . ”

“Uh, great . ”

And that was it . Daniela had an idea about what we were talking about, so she just nodded . Lemon was looking at us blankly .

“Uh, she’s an old friend of mine . She was a manager at a general store . ”

“Oh, I see . ”

“Yes . We were separated due to circumstances . And we just happened to reunite at the tournament . ”

“It all makes sense now!”

Lemon said with a brightened expression . It was just then that there was a knock on the door . Everyone’s heads turned as it was opened .

“I’m sorry to keep you waiting . Preparations have been made . Please follow me . ”

Finally . I was getting tired of staring at the ceiling…

Everyone got up noisily and started to shuffle out of the room . I hadn’t counted earlier, but there seemed to be about twenty of us in all . That was a lot . It kind of felt oppressive .

On the way, Daniela and Lemon were led through a different hallway, as they weren’t sellers . Still, they would apparently be seated near the front . Lemon seemed to have pretty good luck when it came to seats .

“Now, ladies and gentlemen . Thank you for gathering here today . We were quite anxious once we heard that the tournament had been delayed . And yet, so many of you have shown your faces here today . I am full of gratitude . Thank you, thank you . ”

There was a round of applause from the guests . Us sellers were seated up on the stage . Ten to the right and ten to the left . The magic lights were practically blinding and painful . In fact, I could hardly see the audience at all .

“Please forgive me, I have not introduced myself yet . I am your host for the day, Mericareed Yafina . At your service . ”

He gave a gentlemanly bow .

“Now, let us get to business . Here is the first item of the day!”

He suddenly seemed to be very excited . The audience reacted with cheers and whistles . Apparently, it was always like this . Even now, I still had images of secret auctions and slave auctions in my head, so it was a good way to be brought back to reality . I had been wondering if I should put on a mask .

The first item was a painting . It was of some muscular guy, and the painter was supposed to be very famous, so the price was quite high . After that, there was an extravagant suit of armor . And then a glass shield . What the hell?

And then came the Manager’s item .

“And here we have an artifact from the Adventurer Rindo . It was discovered deep within a dungeon . ”

Mericareed said as the bow was brought out .

“It is a bow…but it does not require arrows!”

Huh . She sure picked up something interesting . And in a dungeon…I hadn’t really experienced something like that myself . But maybe I hadn’t been searching hard enough . Though, there was that one kobold mine we had gone down . And there had been something surprising at the end .

The audience was clearly enthusiastic . And as the bids went higher and higher, I turned to the Manager .

“What kind of dungeon was this?”

“Ah, it was a place I went to with other Adventurers I happened to meet on the road . There were lots of traps and monsters, which is always fun . Makes you think of those role-playing games, doesn’t it?”

“Uh, yeah . What else?”

“That’s about it . Well, such places could hold treasures if they haven’t been cleaned out already . That bow was given to me by one of my party members . ”

“Given…you’re not being literal, are you?”

“Bah . They all died . ”

“Ah…”

It was a surprisingly sad story . She then told me that they had been killed by a guardian who was protecting the dungeon core at the deepest level .

“We were so close to winning too… It’s true what they say about letting your guard down . It leads to death . Asagi, if you are interested in dungeons, you best be careful too . ”

“I’ve had my share of brushes with death . So I know to be careful . ”

“Haha . That’s a death flag if I’ve ever heard one . ”

“Grr…”

“Ah, it’s been sold . ”

While I was being teased, the bow without arrows was sold .

“Congratulations! Sold for eight hundred pieces of gold!”

“Oh, not a bad price . I’ll be able to indulge myself for a while . ”

She stood up and took a bow before sitting back down again . Eight hundred seemed like a lot for ‘indulging yourself’ for a while . …What was she going to do?

After that, there were other magic items that I didn’t know anything about, along with some fancy armor . The kind of stuff you’d expect nobles to sell, I suppose .

But there was one thing that really caught my eye . It was a set of light armor made from wind dragon .

“Excuse me, I’d like to buy that . ”

“But you’re a seller . ”

The Manager reminded me as I raised my hand . Yeah, but if we had that… Daniela’s armor…she would have gauntlets . She had the chained ore gauntlets, which were quite powerful, but most of her equipment was made of wind dragon . So this would be perfect for her . The rest of it? We could just sell it…

As I thought about this, the bidding began . Oh, Daniela was really going for it . Yes, we were going to earn money after this anyway . There’s no need to hold back!

“All right, one thousand and four hundred! What about you?”

“One thousand and eight hundred!”

The other guests were shocked by Daniela’s words . The reward for hunting the lesser wyvern and the wind dragon materials . The reward for the orc hunt . All the money we made from selling materials . All of that added up to quite a hefty pile of savings . To be honest, I didn’t even know how much it all was . It was all in the hollow bag…

And that’s what Daniela was using . It was the party funds, so I had no problem with it . In fact, I really wanted her to get it .

“Anyone? Anyone? Sold! One thousand and eight hundred pieces of gold!”

“Yes!!”

I raised my fist into the air . I could barely make out Daniela smiling on the other side . Still…it was quite expensive . It was a whole set of armor, after all . It would have been nice if they sold it separately .

And then I realized that I was up next .  

The artifact made by the ancient elves . The Automata . It was the star of the shows . How much would I get for it… I couldn’t wait to find out .
