The next morning.
Yudo decided to head to the slave store to see how Sylphia was doing.
"Your husband... what the hell is this place...?
"Oh. A slave trade house, though?
"If you look at that, you'll see! What I want to ask is why your husband is headed to the slave trade!?"
"I was thinking of buying a new slave."
To be honest, the look on Spica's face becomes a sinking one with Zune.
"... that's right. I'm unnecessary to your husband, am I not? I felt that way thinly.
I'm not helping you in battle at all. I'm a bad slave who can't even do the night's work satisfactorily. It's only natural that your husband should give me all his love and try to buy another slave. "
Spica speaks a negative word with a selfish interpretation.
"Whoa. Spica. Don't get me wrong. This is all for you."
"Uh...?
"I'm just reflecting on the fact that I'm pushing Spica to do all the burdensome work, and if I buy a second slave, that's all Spica does, right? Plus, with more party personnel, we can safely carry out crusade quests."
"Excuse me. If I did, I'd take it easy on myself... I'm so honored that your husband thought of me so much! Can a slave like me have such happiness?
"Of course not? Spica is my precious... because she's a pretty slave."
"Ha..."
When Yudo stroked his head, Spica had a tranced look by way of example.
(Whatever it takes, this kid... you're too chocolate...)
I could not be blamed for the affair in my heart or I was hissing, but I realize that it is a worry.
When Yodo stroked his chest down, he set foot inside the slave trade house.
Geesh Berstein
Race: Vampire
Occupation: Unemployed
Inherent Ability: Alarm
Alarm @ Rarity
(A skill that only sounds audible to the skill holder when a life crisis is imminent. Sound volume rises depending on the degree of danger)
It was a handsome man with long skinny skin who caught Yudo's eye when he entered the mall.
Why Yudo paid attention to the man...
Sometimes it possessed rare intrinsic abilities, but before that it was the first thing a race called vampires saw.
"Wow. I'm surprised. These days, adventurers walk with sex slaves."
Geesh realizes Yudo's gaze and mutters so in a tone that he looks down on others.
"Oh, no... I can't believe I'm a sex slave... My husband and I are still not in that relationship..."
"Hey. Spica. Don't be glad you're being treated like a sex slave..."
Spica's dm gesture seemed unaware of staying.
"Slightly! Sir Andrea. Excuse me for this. This adventurer is Connoe Yut, who has just become a member of our store since the other day..."
Jill, a slave trader, says so by trying to peek into Geesh's complexion.
"Hmm. Konoe Yut, huh?"
Nodding, Geesh looked around at Yudo's entire body.
"If you look closely, you are... you have a very brilliant flesh. Any martial arts hobbies?
"... Yes?
"Uh. I'm sorry. It is my hobby to observe a forged human body. [M] Hmm. Brilliant... That's all I can describe. This may be the first time I've ever met a strong physical bearer..."
"Um... Sir Andrea?
Jill speaks out to stop Geesh's bizarre behavior.
"No. This is disrespectful. I was falling in love with you because your flesh was so stunning. Well, I'm done, so I'll be excused."
Geesh leaves the slave trade hall behind when he says so.
"I don't know, you're very different. But at first glance, I can tell from your husband's splendor that he doesn't seem to be the only one."
Spica makes a weather statement so powerful that she is accidentally drained of poison gas.
On the other hand.
Yudo had an unspeakable sense of thinness against a man named Geesh.
"... who was that person earlier?
"Hey. he is Andrea Scott Marnish, a noble nobleman of this city."
…………
Yudo looks surprised when he hears Jill's words.
Something's wrong.
The names displayed by Demon Eye Skills do not match the names Jill speaks of.
That would mean that a man named Geesh is using a pseudonym for some purpose.
(... no. You should find out soon enough if you cheat on a famous nobleman's name)
Then it would be more natural to think that vampires are becoming human than to use pseudonyms.
"Maybe... is that the guy who just left is the one who's buying up slaves in this city?
When Yudo inquired, Jill gave him a look as if he had noticed.
"... Please don't say anything else from here on out. As Master Yut has guessed. The fact that Sir Andrea has been buying up female slaves in the city in the last two months or so has become an exclusive rumor within our industry."
"I see."
Somehow I see the story.
Vampires who are becoming human beings.
A man who has been buying up slaves for two months.
And Emilia told me at the Adventurer's Guild, "The Killer in a Serial Kidnapping Case" being arranged on an exploratory quest.
If all of these are identical people, there are various explanations.
It's not hard to imagine why vampires buy up slaves or grab humans.
(Probably... just for a meal...)
Of course there is no evidence that the man earlier is the perpetrator of a serial kidnapping case.
This reasoning is also established because Yudo possesses the skills of the Devil's Eye, and letting others hear it won't convince you.
(Either way... I'm sorry to get into trouble)
Let's try not to get involved with a guy named Geesh.
Yudo was the arrowhead with such determination in his chest.
"So... it's very difficult to say, Yut, that I have one report to make. Sir Andrea gave me a new bid. The price of Sylphia is now up to Rs 720,000."
"Ha... Were you?"
Foreword withdrawn.
There seemed to be no reason not to engage with a vampire man more than Sylphia was involved.
"By the way, does this store also have a minimum amount for the amount you bid?
"Yes. Sylphia's minimum bidding unit consists of 10,000 Lear. In other words, Lord Andrea's bid for a sum of Rs 720,000 requires Lord Yut to bid a minimum of Rs 730,000."
"Okay."
(... well. Naturally)
If we don't set a lower limit in this kind of business, a one-rear Itachi will occur.
Yodo confirms the possession in the magic bag there.
The current funding is Rs. 15050.
There is also the means of selling items in your possession at authorized Guild stores if you have to.
Gathering 5,000 rears up to the lowest bid with 48 hours left was likely to be achieved unless something went wrong.
(... maybe I should meet Sylphia once and keep her posted on the status quo)
Yudo asked Jill to decide that, and decided to have her interview with Sylphia mounted.
