A man is walking with a product that has been competitively dropped from the auction venue.

What he holds is a buster sword nearly two meters long, competing off by the Takemen nobles within the Empire. It has the destructive power that it looked like, but it was a weapon to hit and put on to run the battlefield because it was given a magical effect that made it feel weightless by running magic.

The man carrying it with his sword was also carrying it with his magic running.

"Can you give me a minute?

Hallway of the auction venue.

Show up from the corner and call it a stop.

"You are an adventurer to whom His Majesty the Emperor has been invited."

That's a human being entrusted with the carriage of goods at an auction venue hosted by the emperor. He heard about me beforehand and knew.

"What kind of errand is it?

"Where are you going to carry that sword?

"Where...? You're the one who gets asked funny things. Products that have been competitively dropped must be given to the other party. I usually work in the castle as a civilian, but I can't work at this auction unless I can trust you."

We need to be very careful with the products we are dealing with because they are all precious items that generate a lot of money.

Even if it is wrong, it should not be stolen while it is being carried. So only a reliable person with a definite identity could handle the product.

The man in front of me also checked with Marie and told me via Melissa that he was usually a civilian who was worried about events and such every day in order to develop the Imperial capital in Imperial Castle, and that he was three men in a house who had served the Empire for generations and was certain of his identity.

"I'm sorry. I'm in a hurry, so please excuse me."

A man tries to pass beside me.

"I'll ask you again. 'Where are you going?

"So..."

"If we were going to go to the place where we were going to give you the missing product, we should have taken the other two turns."

"Oops... what I did seems to have gone the wrong way. Thanks for letting me know."

A man turns back on his heel with a face that doesn't eat anything.

"Apparently, you don't understand until you tell them straight."

……

Stand in front of a man who should have moved in the opposite direction from where I was standing.

It's easy, like poking around at the other person's will, who doesn't usually work and work out as a civilian.

"Cayenne Brandall"

"Oh, that's my name"

"You're not."

The man in front of me, indeed - it was Cayenne's name, but it's not right in the present state.

"I don't know the name of the [possessed] capable opponent behind you, but you're the one who's making the auction venue noisy."

"What the hell are you talking about...?

"The net was stretched, but [appraisal] was used to ensure"

Name: Cayenne Brandall [in possession]

Age: 24

Occupation: Consul of the Glenvarga Empire

Gender: Male

The reason is unknown, but I tried [Appraisal] to get a peek at the target's status.

Skills, magic values, etc. are not important, so discount them.

Most importantly, there was a [possessed] addition behind the name that I had never seen before.

Before they came into contact, they expected it might be the ability to 'brainwash' the subject, but they actually had similar abilities.

"I know you can use [possession]"

When I point it out, the expression falls out of Cayenne and becomes faceless.

"[Possession] is the skill of transferring one's consciousness to another and dominating that body"

He turns his vain eyes to me.

"I never thought I'd find you until I existed."

It remained Cayenne's voice, but she has changed the way she talks and is clearly someone else.

"Admit it."

"Where I fell in love, you seem familiar with my skills"

I asked the labyrinth nucleus (dungeon core) to give me more information the moment I found out that the other person's skills were [possessed].

I had no trouble with the information because there are demons in the labyrinth with the same skills.

They still teach me things in real time.

"I was still trying not to expose my existence..."

This man was thorough in backing up the two thieves.

At the party venue, he possessed one of the guards in charge of the security of the venue and asked when to lighten the party venue. The guards also had knowledge of the room where the lighting could be operated, and only minimal knowledge was taught in case, so it was not difficult to remove the lighting.

Afterwards, when I return to the party venue with a no-foot face, all memories of the lights dropped from the guards disappear, and the memories in between are supplemented separately.

They were also trying to use possessed people at the auction venue to steal the goods, but Pina had deactivated possession and everything had failed.

"There are other guys at the auction venue who I can possess. If it's possible, can you tell me how you identified me?

Possession had one fatal flaw.

There is only one person who can rule at a time, beyond the effect of transferring one's consciousness to another.

If someone is making some suspicious move, I can easily imagine that person being possessed.

You don't have to worry about other humans any more than the cayenne in front of you is possessed.

"I did carry my sword in, but is that so strange?

I am not uncomfortable with Cayenne carrying the winning product.

That's why he was chosen for possession.

The only thing that's wrong is that I didn't go straight to where I was supposed to take it, but I have to keep an eye on where the goods are being transported to find out.

"No way......"

"I had a hard time. Continue to identify the current location of all products that will be auctioned"

[Labyrinth operation: map (map)].

Skills to create maps of your surroundings and to be able to check them at any time.

Originally, it would consume a lot of magic, but I was able to get a map of the auction venue only by getting Rio to help me provide the map.

It consumes little magic thanks to it.

The map has the effect of applying markers to the target object as an application method, so that the current position can be kept abreast. This time, I was allowed to apply a marker to all the products put out on the auction stage.

I don't have as much difficulty as I say because I can apply markers just by being put on stage and checking my appearance. I'm mentally tired of checking all the time if you dare.

"I see. Then it's going to be hard to take it out in the future."

[Possession] is a special skill, but you need to take it outside in order to use this skill to steal things.

But it was made impossible by an irregular named Labyrinth Lord.

"You think you can get away with this?

Besides, they say the man in front of them is going to get away with it.

I'm not letting this guy get away more than I am in front of him.

"Let's get caught by the adults and be judged by the Empire."

"That's not why. I need money. Plus, I'm gonna live funny and crazy with the skills I got. You can't get caught here."

The expression returns to Cayenne, who was faceless.

"I'm sorry. I seem to have lost my way more in unfamiliar venues."

The tone returns to the beginning.

They also complemented their memories when they were possessed, probably embarrassed to be pointed out by an invitee that they were lost, I would have just said.

"Are you back to your original body?"

"Yes?"

You heard me whining, but Cayenne, who doesn't know what it means, is tilting his neck.

Apparently, the person who was possessed has been released from possession and returned to his or her original body.

There's no point in capturing Cayenne here. I don't remember when I was possessed, so it's impossible to get to him even after interrogating him, and it's pathetic to capture him. Rather, he's a victim, just like any previously possessed person.

If you want to capture me, you have to be the person who was possessed.

"Well, do you want to go get him"

It's already clear where they are and who they are.

I made contact because I needed to know who they were.
