- Auction day.

The auction venue was crowded with a good number of people.

Inside, there was a corner lined with lots of things that resembled glass cases, like museum exhibits, or placed in such a way as to bring out the goodness of the item, that visitors were mindful of them.

In it, Hal and Lunaria were checking for other listings.

Items such as sardines and information are included along with the lowest bid price.

"This is amazing."

"It's beautiful."

Hal and Lunaria stopped their feet in a vessel made of fine finesse.

Lighted up. That's enough for two amateurs to look at and see.

It is noted that it is a delicacy in which lost technology is now used and is not available now.

The lowest bid price was written as "1.5 million G".

"I'm not going to buy it, but it's funny to see this kind of thing"

"Yes!

They both looked relaxed and enjoyed watching the items lined up.

"Oh, Master Hal, Master Lunaria. Were you here?"

It was Sausa who came through the crowd in a slight panic and searched for them.

"It's an item you two brought in, but it's pretty much a topic of discussion!

Their products were also slow to exhibit because the appraisal was completed the night before.

However, many buyers were beginning to consider buying, realizing that that amount of treasure was on sale that day. Thanks to this, I haven't noticed Hal and Lunaria for the first time attending the auction, but there were more visitors to this place today than usual.

"On topic...... that's good, but is it popular? Sure, there was a lot of it, but there was a lot of old stuff. Some of them are missing."

Some of the vessels were cracked, so Hal doesn't think it's worth that much.

I only had mild expectations that I should sell what I brought here.

"No way, that treasure is a tremendous thing in quantity, of course, but also in quality! We are also confident that there will be many high value items and, if any, a considerable price!

Sausa guesses with excitement, but neither Hal nor Lunaria were pinning.

But that's what we'll find out when we actually come before our own listings.

"-Come on, take a look"

There is an overwhelming crowd in the direction indicated by Sausa over the other exhibits, during which Hal and Lunaria finally arrive by sewing.

"Ko, this is"

"Shh, that's amazing"

Before the two of them, all two treasures were beautifully displayed.

Unlike the abandoned castle, which was just piled up, it was arranged in such a way that it looked good.

Carefully polished and arranged so as not to compromise quality, they go hand in hand with lighting up, attracting the attention of the buyers.

"... both of you, look at the lowest bid price"

Sneaking into the words Sausa whispered, the two turn their gaze to the location of the price tag on display.

Earlier precious vessels were 1.5 million g.

And the price put on the two treasures...

"- 20 million g!?

"Wow!!

The two of them were surprised and stunned by the amount far more than they thought.

I didn't expect the treasure I picked up at the abandoned castle to be that expensive.

"This is a reasonable amount. No, this is the lowest amount, so I'm sure it'll go up from here!

Was Sausa tired after handling the appraisal of a large number of treasures and the punishment of example staff, and the tension was mysteriously high?

"Oh, oh, that's good. We still have time for the auction, don't we?

"Yeah, the start is after lunch, so we still have more than three hours"

When he hears that, Hal nods in gaze with Lunaria.

"Well, then, we're going out."

"I'm coming"

Then Sausa speaks to the two of them trying to go through the crowd, haphazardly.

"Please return by the time -!

Voices echoed in the venue, but Hal and Lunaria just gently raised their hands and went straight outside.

Hal and Lunaria, who hastily left the venue, look for a magician when they return to the centre of the city.

"Erm... this way?

"Mr. Hal, this way."

Lunaria flutters and cheers that Hal tries to proceed appropriately fixes it.

From the outside, it was a store with a unique atmosphere.

When the door opens with the sound of a bell called Colorn, a unique fragrance emerges from inside the store.

"This smell... is aromatic"

When Lunaria shrugged, shaking her nose slightly, she heard voices from behind the counter at the store.

"Heh heh heh heh, you know me well. This scent helps soothe the mood. So, what can I do for you?

The old woman, who appeared with a creepy grin, wore a black robe that flattered the witch in her hat.

"Oh, I'd like to buy a magic bag..."

From the amount on display, he thought he needed a magical bag that could hold a large amount of luggage because the reward was likely to be considerable and because it had been his eye during this treasure haul.

"Hihihi, if it's a magic bag, it's all there on the shelf."

Upon checking the shelves indicated by the old woman, some bags were displayed there.

"I see... sounds like a lot of things, but what about the difference?

Something made of old leather or a beautiful cloth. Then the big ones, the small ones and anyway, there was a lot of variety.

"Hihihi, you got a price on you, don't you? The cheap ones have a small number to store. There are many slightly higher items that can be stored. And the most expensive thing on it has the power to stop time, though it's stored."

Hal and Lunaria were troubled when they heard the explanation of the old woman laughing with Nitanita.

Of course it is best if you get the most expensive one.

But 1.5 million g per piece. In other words, it was the same amount as the vessel in the example.

I can see that the function of time suspension is so rare.

"In the meantime, we'll just have to make two of the cheapest ones"

The intermediate bags are also financially available, but it was nevertheless a wise choice to choose the cheapest one given the future. For one thing, because I thought that would be a good idea if the rewards for this auction were included.

"Then sell me this. And I wish I could, would you keep these two most expensive things in place?

Talk while Hal retrieves the charges for the two bags.

"Hihihihi, I don't mind. It's not for sale anyway, and you bought me two bags. Hey. Thank God we've been losing our legs lately."

The old lady has a suspicious vibe, but the business seemed decent, and as soon as they carefully checked the bag they bought and handed it in in exchange for payment, they were working on the placement.

"They got a good bag. Good for you."

"Yes, you can do a lot of things with this!

We both bag from our shoulders. The leather shoulder strap is not a very large object, but from the look of it, it seemed to hold more than I could imagine from the look of it.

"Hihihi, if you buy expensive bags later, you can take down the bags you're using now."

"That helps. Thanks."

"Thank you very much."

The two of them thanked the old lady for her offer and left the store behind.

And the two of them, ready, head back to the auction venue.

- The auction finally begins.
