I Became a Regulatory Official for the Poaching of Monsters, but the Rescued Monsters are trying to Eat Me

Crescent night.

Thanks to the uninterrupted light of the moon, even the light of a small star, which is not always visible, reaches the ground. It was such a starry sky that it was about to fall.

Late in the night, surrounded by quiet darkness, the old theater on the outskirts of the city was filled with carriages with lanterns. I was in line in front of the theater.

The carriage in which the taxis ride is also in line. In the car, Karon gave the mask taken out of the bag to Taketo and Chante. It is a type that covers only the eyes.

"At that auction venue, it seems we're supposed to hide our faces from each other."

"Oh, thank you."

When I put on the mask I was given, my vision narrowed. Looking at Chante sitting next to her, she also wears a mask with a beautiful pattern on the white. If you hide the lower half of your face with a fan, you can barely see your face.

Somehow, I feel a more seductive atmosphere than usual, and it's a little rough. At this time, I thought it would be convenient to have a mask where I couldn't see my face.

While doing so, the carriage arrives at the theater entrance.

When the tacket came down first, I helped Chante to take her hand and get down. Chante puts his foot on the ground and puts his hand around the Taketto's arm. Then they walked side-by-side to the entrance.

The technique around here is thanks to Karon's pre-instruction to "make it look like a couple of nobles." Karon follows me behind it.

Enter the theater lobby through a large, single-paneled, double-open door. Inside, the men and women dressed in costumes and masks were laughing here and there. Nearly a hundred people will be there. Looks like a social party.

A boy in black dressed in a mask approached the silver basin in one hand. Above the basin is a glass of wine.

"... thank you."

Lightly thanking him, Taketo and Chante received the wine glass.

Hopefully, I didn't want to have much conversation with other people so that I wouldn't get worn out, but I can't talk at all because I'm troubled even if I get suspicious.

In the first place, I don't know how to behave when I'm only at a friend's wedding. If I was in trouble, a smart man who was laughing nearby spoke to me.

"It's a pleasant night."

Yeah, that's right.

I managed to connect the conversation.

It was helpful to ask personal questions. The man talks about what the market is like these days and what the gold market is like. From what I'm talking about, it looks like a merchant with a large distribution network in the west.

Taketo said, "I'm still studying business," and tried to get in touch with Nico.

Chante also has an unimpeded conversation with the lady next to the man.

While spending time like that, Taketto noticed a large red pendant on his chest that was worn by a lady with a man. That was probably the red stone on the carbuncle's forehead.

I've heard of black trade as an item of luck, but I've never seen anything that has become an accessory in real life.

If you look closely, you can see a lot of women wearing fur shawls and coats, a gentleman who is bragging about lowering his dagger with an ivory pattern on his waist, and a person wearing a helmet with a horn like deer.

In addition, there were even those who were carrying the beast. A beast with a man's feet on his upper body like a cow. Is that a Minotaur? And he was carried by his servants, even to the chains of his hands and feet, which were chained to his mouth and collar.

People who carry a banned beast as if they were bragging, and decorate glamorously with their furs and horns.

They are gathered here to buy forbidden beasts. Due to that hobby, Taketto felt like he was going to throw up.

(Let's just remember the information and go home. Anything at all, we'll prosecute everyone)

Guest characteristics, conversation content, belongings... I can't take notes and record them here right now, but I can memorize any of them so that they can eventually lead to prosecution.

There are two strong thoughts like Magma.

Many brought the Beast as a servant. I have heard that the Beast was once used as a slave. Although veterinarian discrimination is now prohibited, I have heard that there are many people who are discriminatory against veterinarians, especially old nobles and lords.

In that sense, the Taketoes who were carrying the Beast, Karon, to their Servitors would have looked more familiar with them from the edge.

I asked him a little bit about Karon, but he was holding back behind the tacket with a clear expression. I can't ask what thoughts are swirling in my heart, but now I seem to be watching the poker face.

We had no choice but to behave like them here so that the tackets would not be questioned.

While doing so, the theater boy shook a big bell in his hand.

That was the cue to opening. The door to the audience seat in the back opens and people move there.

Taketo escorted Chante to the audience seat.

Swallow the cockroach and saliva.

The auction is about to begin.
