My First Trip was to Another World

The stolen goods market brought by Mr. Bonanza is now live.The auction will begin soon. The items in the stall-style shop were bankrupt, but all the items in the auction were stolen.It is a crime to sell or to buy.

Of course we don't buy anything.I stepped in here to check on buyers and sellers.

The request I received from the royal castle was not to 'collect the stolen goods', but to find out who was involved in transporting the stolen goods.If you know the seller, the request will be fulfilled.Then you can create a list of buyers and expect additional rewards.

With that in mind, I decided to participate in the auction.Rendezvous with Bonanza, who is going to act differently, and step into the auction venue.

Auction venues are partitioned so that they cannot be accessed from outside a specific entrance or exit.It's too conspicuous to break through the partition, so I plan to enter through the regular entrance and exit.Bonanza and I are meeting near the entrance.

When she arrived at the rendezvous point, Ms. Bonanza was rubbing against the guards.

"... what's he doing?

Come closer and listen.

"You must be Bonanza!I can't let you through here!

"I told you it was a mistake!Atashi is not a "disaster"!

Um... is Bonanza called "disaster"?That's fine, but there's too much to say about 'mistakes'.I don't think anyone resembles him.Mr Bonanza would be enough for the world alone.I'd feel terrified if there were so many of them.

"Anyway, we can't go through here!Go home quietly! "

The guards raise their voice.I don't think that Bonanza is going home honestly... but the moment I thought about it, I met Bonanza.And Bonanza winks at me.

I wonder if this is some kind of signal...

"I got it.You should go home!

Bonanza turned her heel and walked towards the stall.

"I don't know what you're going to do..."

Claire muttered.Claire's right, it doesn't feel right.I didn't expect Mr Bonanza to get violent and pull back lightly...

"I don't know. But I don't have a good feeling about that."

It's going to rain on the rocks.

Mr Bonanza, of course, is the one who can drop it.I think I'm throwing rocks and spears from afar.

"Apart from that, what are you going to do?

"Let's go inside for now.If you think it's dangerous, you can get away with the metastasis immediately. "

Though a glimmer of anxiety remains, I can't just stand back.If you miss today's opportunity, this request will not be achievable.

The guards were distracted by Mr. Bonanza, and we were able to pass without checking.

The venue is surprisingly narrow, with a chair for about 100 people laid down.Since there seemed to be no fixed seat, we sat in the last row on the lowest side, which seemed to be the most conspicuous.

There is a much higher stage in the front, illuminated by lighting magic equipment.The stage seems narrow and quite cramped.For a narrow stage, the stage sleeves on either side of the stage appear to be wide.Probably makes it wider to place the product.

While observing the stage, people came together.There are sparse vacancies, but they are quite prosperous.If you look at empty seats being used as luggage storage, that's how they were originally planned.

Then I realized that Leeds was gone.

"Where's Leeds?

Ask Claire for fear.

"It's okay. I'm checking on the map."

A peek at Claire's map revealed an endless range of Leeds-like spots.As far as the map is concerned, there have been no noticeable problems so far.

"Don't worry about it for a second... eh?

There is no problem with Leeds. But I noticed another problem.There is a very unpleasant reaction in front of the stage.

Damn nobleman, it's Doolin...That sucks. Why are you here?No, he must be after the stolen goods, so it's unnatural to be here.

I wanted to go home after seeing where the cloth went, but I want to go back now.

"What's wrong?You look disgusting..... "

Claire talked to me worried.

"There was a nobleman in trouble.Someone I don't really want to get involved with. "

"You mean... you met him at the royal castle?

"Yes, they won't notice, so just ignore it for now.Just be vigilant. "

Ask Claire for surveillance and I'll focus on the auction.

I will also take out the map, enlarge the display, and narrow the scope to this venue.Each of the light points is then marked in turn and annotated.This feature was originally designed to check for dangerous monsters.I didn't make much use of it, but it's very useful here.

The annotations include the subject's physical characteristics and tender history.By the nature of the map, it looks like it's just a spot of light.The annotation part is required to identify who the light point is.It's tough, but let's focus here.

The auction started while we were preparing the map.

"First of all, this product! From ten gold coins!

The first item is a regular, flashy necklace with no freaks.The royal mummy's neck is hardened by gold and jewelry.I don't know where to wear it... but I don't understand it.

"Twenty!

"Thirty!!

The amount is rising steadily.Everyone who comes here should know that this is stolen and participate.Selling or buying stolen goods is the same crime... I'm more worried about knowing and buying them.

The flashy necklace seems to have been settled with 55 gold coins.The winner was a middle-aged man who looked like a merchant.I wonder if they're even aiming for resale...

"He's a peddler."

Suddenly I heard Leeds from behind.

"Wow! When did that happen?

"I heard you talking.He said he'd sell it in Millgia. "

Leeds continued his conversation and said what he wanted to say and left again.... ninja?I wonder if Leeds was badly influenced by Bonanza...Well, don't worry about it because it's useful this time.

Every time an auction progresses, Leeds brings in information.Thanks to this, by the end of about half of the auction, all participants' personal information had been gathered.Besides, there are a few nobles mixed up besides Doolin.I wonder if it's one of Doolin's.Be careful not to get involved.

Claire, keep an eye on the nobility.

Claire also squeezes the map into the venue to shine an eye on the nobles.Even Doolin's buddies are troublesome, but otherwise it's troublesome.Nobles who like to come to places like this aren't locks.

After a light break, the fight began in the second half.So far, all buyers are merchants.Some merchants have shops in King's Landing.It won't sell...

At the beginning, Leeds returned.

Kon-san, I found something like this...

"What...?

Look at what Leeds gave me.It's just a bunch of paper, not some kind of treasure... but it's really interesting.A name lined up with a few pieces of paper.This is a roster of participants.And beside the name, there is a person with a marl or pattern written on it.I wonder what this is...

"It's a roster of invited people.Maru is the one who came. "

An unmarked person was invited but did not come.It seems that people with stars are regular and people with triangles are joining for the first time.She explained it to me as if Leeds had heard it.

"No, don't you know too much?

"You told me you weren't listening.

I hear you've really asked.I wonder if Leeds was mistaken for a staff member because he was so naturally wooing...

"Didn't they tell you to do the reception?

"Yeah, I was told.I was so bumpy, I couldn't say no! "

I knew it. Operations made a mistake.

"Heh, you're in such a hurry back there."

"I don't know, 'stolen' or 'insufficient security' or something, it was really noisy."

It is not conveyed to the front, but there seems to be a big problem on the back.Are you mad at me for selling stolen goods...?Hmm, selfish.

As I convinced myself, Leeds kept giving me an envelope.

And I picked up something like this...

The envelope handed over reads "Invitation".Perhaps it's necessary to get in here.The sender column is "Bernard Chamber of Commerce."I'm sure this is the organizer of the stolen goods market.Whatever...

"Great job. It's the best information I've got."

"Did I help?

Leeds' too free behavior has never been more helpful.Simply reporting this information would be considered a request accomplishment.

"Of course. Thank you."

"I did it! Bonanza was right.I'll study at Bonanza's place more often. "

"What? No, that's a little..."

As I was about to say, Leeds left.

You're not welcome to be influenced any more by Bonanza...That person is special in many ways.

"Hey, did Leeds see Bonanza a lot lately?

Ask Claire for fear.

"Looks like it. She seems to be getting along with the girls at Bonanza's."

"Seriously....."

I've been busy these days.It's probably because of that.It seems that Leeds, who had spared time, was playing with Bonanza.In the meantime, it seems to be permeated by Bonanza's common sense.It seemed to suit me in the first place, so when it comes to nature, is it natural?

Stop?

"No, it's fine. If you're trying to do something dangerous, report it."

I feel dangerous when I'm involved with Mr. Bonanza, but that's the same for me.If Bonanza were with him, he wouldn't die.

The auction goes on.I think we have enough information to report a request, but there is still not enough luxury to say.We don't know who the top of the Bernard Chamber of Commerce is.

The staff moving backwards have lizard tails.As long as you don't grab your head, you'll end up being truncated.Now it's time to hold your head firmly.

As she watched the venue, Leeds returned.

I'm home.

"Welcome back. How was it?

"I'm tired of it."

I can't get new information anymore.Mainly because of Leeds' motivation.This is Leeds.I'll be relieved on the contrary, as usual.

While Leeds was lying down beside me, the auction was coming to an end.I have already digested most of the products.The next item is a little magic equipment.

When I thought that Lily's presence would raise my tension... my phone received a call from Lily.

Kou-kun, emergency contact.Why are you there?

It's Lily's voice, but I can't get any guidelines.Lily seems surprised and confused.

"I was brought here by Bonanza.What are you talking about?

That is the building where the boundary separation device was installed.I checked the interior on the map and found out what Ko's reaction was.I'm a little surprised. "

Our map is narrowed down to the venue and Leeds is asleep.I didn't realize Lily and the others were here.

Lily and Luna were leaving early this morning to retrieve the junction device.It seems that the destination was here.Was the operation "stolen" referring to the junction device?

The Bernard Chamber of Commerce is deeply involved with the bandits.That's why they used the same magic equipment.

I see. This is a stolen goods market, so that's what it is.Did something go wrong with checking the map?

Hmm. The soldiers of the Imperial Castle are preparing to enter now.I was just checking to see if there was a trap. "

That's a big problem...If they break in now, the mastermind may be able to escape again.We'll have them wait for us to break in.

"Tell the soldiers we're undercover.Stand by for a while. And find out more about the Bernard Chamber of Commerce. "

Roger, I'll get back to you when I get anything.

I asked Lily to investigate.There must be a lot of soldiers nearby, so I'm sure you'll be able to help us investigate.I'm going to sit here a little longer and investigate the mastermind.
