To Deprive a Deprived Person

"There you are! Look at that. Give me this freshly baked bread! They all look delicious, don't they?

"It's a hot day like today that you have to sweat in hot soup! A hundred madokas in a glass now, just a piece of copper coin!

"When you come to the king's capital, there's no point in eating this! Wangdu's Famous Aisun Huh!! Cool your body with cold sweets!

The time is noon.

The busyness of the dewstores, which stand in front of the streets where many people go, as well as the dewstores dealing with food and beverage, is at its peak. Still, in an effort to make a little more money, he called in with a powerful voice.

"Better not get any closer"

Lawrence's man, who has been tailing Yu since the first day, grabs the other shoulder and takes note.

"Ah? What are you freaking out about?

Even now, we've been following mountains of them, from the Viscounts to the Counts' nobles to the merchants to the adventurers. Has anyone noticed our tail like that? Instead of realizing it, you've never even been alert. "

"Just listen to me."

"I heard hundreds of people were killed on the first day. Ponte alone is why there are 300 of us. You're talking about how you can kill so much on your own, right? Mostly, if they're that strong, they'll realize they suck on the way, and our guys will get away with it.

Hey, you've been that ga since the first day. - Shit. That son of a bitch went all the way into that cramped shop. I would have the money, but I'm staying at a fancy inn, so I said eat there.

Hey, what are we gonna do? Do you want us to go into the store? There may be people connected to that kid. "

"No!

The man who made a loud noise despite being tailed apologizes to the other man when he is hacked.

"Excuse me. But I disagree with you entering the store.

Don't look like that. Usually I'm about to enter the store in the guise of a customer, but definitely not this time. "

"That's crazy from earlier. What the... Whoa. You, that's your arm."

I had goosebumps when I saw the arm of a man grabbing his own shoulder.

"Is this it? I've been in this state ever since I started tailing that kid.

Oh, yeah, yeah. It's the Ponte thing you were saying earlier. The number of bodies found is 63. "

"I knew it," the man thought.

Still, sixty-three people were killed, which was a convincing number of people said to keep an eye on them at all times.

"Sixty-three motherfuckers were killed - wait. What did they find?

"That's right. Sixty-three bodies were found, and the rest are missing. I don't even know the exact number.

I'll tell you what, there were ten of us tailing him at first.

You want to know what happened to nine other people than me? Like you now, a confident, approaching guy... disappeared two first. It really disappeared.

So I saw the tragedy of Ponte, and I thought you ran away, and another one of them approached me the same way, and disappeared again.

If you realize in no time, there are three of us, including me. Ha, ha... I guess the other two noticed just like me. This is a warning. I don't mind wandering around, but if you get too close, I'll kill you.

From the start, that kid noticed!! What do you think happened to the other two? Oh...... I don't even want to remember. It's time to take turns. Mine, mine... sideways, their, kubi, shit. "

"Oh, come on. Calm down."

The hand of a man who tries to forgive is shaken away.

"That sato is threatening the employees of the inn where the kid is staying, and I'm telling him to report it. And yet, and yet! We don't even know where the three women and the two big idiots are yet!

I'm confident I'll be tailed, too! No, there was... But today's the third day, and shit! Shit!! Fuck off!! That kid, he's going to gaze at me with the wazza!! You're missing it!! Do you have any idea how nervous I am?

You want me to tell you something good? The guys up there know it's probably gonna happen, and they're letting us tail them. "

"That's... stupid"

The other man was stunned by the words of the man who was following Yu from the first day, and never said again, let's go into the store, etc.

And he kept an eye on the entrance and exit of the store with Yu from a barely visible distance.

"Welcome.

Unfortunately, as you can see, the counter seat is not available. I'm sorry, but if you're at the table, you can have a seat, too, but do you mind?

"Oh, that's fine."

The employees guide him through the narrow store and Yu moves on to the deepest table seat.

"It's not easy. Easy to ask in your seat"

"What the hell. Come on, let's eat now.

Well, it's a small shop. I don't know what to do. "

"Hehe. Azasu!

Now, let me compartmentalize you with the next table in a collision. "

"Really now!

"Hehe. Overlapping Ease."

The man, who was using the table for four by himself, acknowledges with a small sigh the employee's loving laughter.

"Boss, it's been a while.

We call ourselves Maos here. "

When an employee compartmentalizes in a collision, a man corrects his residence and bows his head to Yu.

"Don't call me boss. You didn't hear that from Einar?

"This is rude. I've been infiltrating the Wang Capital for a long time, so I'm oblivious to the situation around here.

First of all, don't worry, everyone from employees to customers is from Alcom. "

"What's going on with the investigation?

"Yes, Bo, thanks to Mr. Satoh's flashy rampage, both Lawrence and the Beloon Chamber of Commerce are panicking like a fire has hit their asses."

I know you're going to talk pale, but Maos' words were fractional and couldn't hide his joy.

"Ah. Excuse me during the report.

Now it's time to live in Cummer, but I used to live in King's Capital. My parents are merchants, which means they're small stores. It's a common story in King's Capital that the Belgian Chamber of Commerce makes it difficult for Lawrence to come out. "

Maos laughed in self-derision. As if I can't forgive myself for the past.

"You missed the point.

Again, thanks to Mr Satou, there has been a great move on the part of Lawrence and the Beloon Chamber of Commerce.

It continues to be found that arsenals that we have never known, and azitos that are collecting items that cannot be put on the table.

However, naturally, while the entrance to Asia is strictly guarded, it seems that only a very limited number of executives, even Lawrence's executives, know where treasures and gold are collected.

Rumor has it that we only know a few people called vault numbers, and we're exploring who this vault number is on our side, but we haven't even got a clue yet "

Saying sorry, Maos moisturizes his throat with water in a glass.

"As Mr. Satoh knows, Lawrence has twenty-four branches in the King's Capital alone, and forty branches if other cities add up.

Headquarters is just tightly guarded, so I'd like to check from the branch, but if it moves too much, they'll notice this presence. "

"So the rest is twenty-five? Oh, Ponte's branch is crushed, so the branch's in 23, and the rest is 24."

"Yeah, there are twenty-four branches in Wang Du - what?

To talk too absurdly, the look on Maos's face becomes a dumb surface.

"Don't worry.

Regular contact between headquarters and branches in other cities is once a month. That's also because of the junction the Great Sage is putting up, unless you go out of your way. You can't even use the magic guide of communication or the biographical dove. By the next regular contact, it's all over. "

Maos couldn't tell me he wasn't worried about that.

"Yes, when?

"Hmm? Yesterday and one night.

Don't you think it's a little too much work?

Even the nearest city to Wangdu takes three days by carriage. How did you crush Lawrence's branch in just two days, both that and sixteen branches?

No matter how much Maos knew Yu was a tremendous strength, it was incredible.

"It's a true story, isn't it?

"Why am I lying?

Yeah, if you're talking about Alcom entering the city where Lawrence's branch was, you can do it on your own. "

"Yes, no. Not like that."

"I'll tell you what. I did it on my own, so I'm not gonna give you the hardware they were accumulating."

"No, no! Of course it is!! There's no fool in Alcom trying to take Mr. Satoh's stuff."

I wave my hands in a great panic, and Maos denies it.

If this is what we're going to buy Yu's wrath, what reprimand from those who belong to Alcom - it's still fine. If you do poorly, you will be beheaded, not metaphorically.

"And that's the vault number you said. Because there were a few people in Lawrence's branch that I crushed. I'll send you guys to Ajito later, you can use it as you like."

"Ugh, it's not a rumor. Are you really there... But don't they betray you?

Not only did Maos find out there was a vault number that was about to give up looking for half of it, but Maos flashes through surprise that Yu had already secured it.

Speaking of which, you said we wouldn't open our mouths to any kind of torture.

"Right.

Because the first condition is that people like us who are entrusted with the vault number of an organization don't open their mouths. If it's a big organization like Lawrence, I don't think there's anybody who can break their mouth with torture. "

"Really?

I went to Torcher's this morning and he was crying and he said, "Please let us all cooperate."

I didn't know who Torcher was talking about, Maos, but I could only understand that Lawrence's vault number was someone who would torture him to be cooperative in just a few days.

"You don't have to worry. It's all over in three nights.

You guys just have to think about guiding us to Azito and carrying hardware. "

Yu and Maos then have a detailed meeting and Yu leaves the store behind.

"Hey, he's out."

"You don't have to tell me. - There's no one here."

"Such an idiot!? Sure, from the store."

"You're the persistent ones."

Behind Lawrence's men, who were watching the store, Yu shrugged.

"Yes... when..."

"I warned you, didn't I? I'll kill you no more."

Like a frog stared at by a snake, the men could not move one thing. And even after Yu's signs disappeared, the men could only stay on the spot for a while.

When it comes to the place most popular with the wealthy in the Wang capital Tenkasi, everyone will mention the Sixth District Dallarante.

Because District VI is home to one of the best auction venues in the Lame Continent, Sutherties.

It was originally a circular arena, but where King Woodon hated the blood-smelling arena about hundreds of years ago and would be demolished, it was a waste. It began when some civilian sued the king directly.

The ceiling of the circular arena, which was able to look up into the sky, was covered with a hemispherical roof and converted into a huge auction venue.

Its size is so visible from neighboring districts that it has become one of the King's capital and tourist attractions.

However, it is not even possible for civilians to enter. It is an institution accessible only to the privileged class.

"Dear Satou, I've been waiting for you"

The curator of Suzatiez, a little fat man who built up a splendid mustache towards Yu, finally greets him with a compliment.

There are currently two rooms in front of Yu: an unacceptable treasure trove in which the general public enters among the Sutherties.

But the curator says he welcomes Yu, but the surroundings were a vibrant atmosphere.

There are no windows or anything in the room. It is a special specification that combines magic and alchemy on multiple metals, from surrounding walls, ceilings and floors.

In this room are the guards and trainers who manipulate the high magic.

"Please forgive me for responding like this. I wonder if things are just things and this is still not enough."

"Forward is fine, can I get it out?

Tensions run not only to the curator in his words, but also to those around him.

Please wait a moment.

The curator repeated his deep breath several times, relieving the tension.

"Dear Satou, please"

Yu takes it (...) out of the item porch, which is what makes the curators nervous.

The silver horn, which thus exceeds two meters, emits intense and disastrous magic as if it were dead and still resisting.

Its too powerful magic is such that even those of the conjunctors who have sealed numerous sayings in the junction over the years in the Suzathies retreat.

"What are you doing?

Quickly join the kingdoms and keep this magic running. "

In the words of the curator, the conjunctors stretch the conjunctions together.

"Gu...... What magic!

"Calm down! This won't be the first time you've dealt with a dragon horn! Remember when you suppressed the horns of Thunder Dragon or Hua Long!!

"Oh, that's what they say. Ko... what am I supposed to do with such enormous magic... GUG!!

The conjunctors, more quoted and prepared by the curator, were nevertheless unable to contain the magic overflowing from the horns of the ancient dragon.

And like asking for help, the Connectors send their gaze to the curator.

"Co, I thought it was so much stuff. Ha.

Dear Satoh, apparently my thoughts were sweet. "

"You don't have to do the 'appraisal' than that?

"Ah. I forgot about it in too many delicacies.

No, not until the horns of this ancient dragon 'appraise'. Everyone here knows it's real. "

"Fine, 'appraise' me quickly"

Those with high levels of 'appraisal' skills and similar intrinsic skills will carefully appraise the horns of the ancient dragon while maintaining a safe distance.

"Curator, no doubt about it.

Ko... Ko Long, rub in the horn of the legendary Ko Long Magranals!

"Though I was informed beforehand by Master Satou, once again, before the legend, you get excited without merit."

"Or the curator! We can't do this anymore."

The horns of the ancient dragon Magranalus brought by Yu are still the smallest, and are sealed multiple times by Yu and Russ. If he still can't contain it, Yu looks at the curator.

"I'm ashamed to hear it, but may I ask you to treat me? By auction day, we'll make sure we have the personnel."

The curator thought so from the bottom of his heart, not from the top.

Because even in the history of Suzzaties, which lasts hundreds of years, I've never said that sellers would ask us to keep the items, but we wouldn't because we couldn't handle them ourselves, etc.

"Okay."

When Yu puts the corner of the ancient dragon on the item porch, the junctioneers, who were near the limit, relieve themselves, and wonder why they could have put all that stuff on the item porch without a thing.

"I didn't feel comfortable when I heard you couldn't have an untimely item pouch."

Having successfully checked the horns of the Kolong Magranals, the curator strokes his chest down with relief and wipes his sweat with a handkerchief.

"If this didn't make it possible to list a replacement Kolong horn, my neck would have been ripped off because of the liability issue."

I'm not joking.

The biggest highlight of the auction this time held by the Suzzaties was the timeless item pouch, advertising to other countries while laying low on what was going to be on the market. Most importantly, it was the same with Yu, who used magos and other merchants to flush information to other countries.

"But was the untimely item pouch sold to someone?

No, of course not grudges or anything. After adding the bid price at the auction and the fees to be paid to my Sazathies, it's only natural to sell them if offered more attractively.

How much would it cost if it were also an untimely item pouch? No, I can't even imagine being the curator of the Suzzaties for years. "

"They took it."

"Ugh, they took it!? To whom? Do you have any idea who did this?

The curator of the Suzzaties didn't even realize that he had dropped a handkerchief, much to his surprise.

"The curator knows him well."

"Wow, I know... people? No way......"

"Value Volwy Knox."

I guess I was told I knew someone and had some anticipation. Even as Yu gave the name of Value, the curator was more discouraged than surprised.

"That's... what again... It's a heavy town in the Kingdom of Oudon, but it's lamentable."

"You don't think I'm lying?

"The Value Finance Minister is a Sazathies auction customer, but I know better than anyone how to use any hand to get what I desire.

I wish I could help you with something. "

"No, I'm in trouble if they do that.

More than that, I want you to keep your mouth shut about me auctioning the Horn of the Ancient Dragon. "

"I guess that's natural."

The curator, who hears that an untimely item pouch has been taken, acknowledges Yu's request as a matter of course.

Because if this is going to take even the horn of the ancient dragon, it's a big problem.

Anyway, this auction is only held once a year on a large scale, with royalties and nobles from other countries as well as nobles from all over the Kingdom of Oudon already pushing to the King's Capital.

The eyeballs of the auction were taken from me, so I can't let them come out. Be sure to have it auctioned off. Because we have to succeed.

"Are they all right except the curator?"

Yu looks over the room and glances at those prepared by the curator.

"Rest assured.

These people will not be allowed out of the Suzzaties until the auction is held. Me too, of course.

Besides, we are contract magic and are forbidden to divulge seller information. That's also something higher than the contract magic that can be done to an Adventurer Guild receptionist. In case you break the contract, you will lose your life. "

"What are the possibilities for the Finance Minister to reach out?

"Don't worry about that one.

Suzzaties is an auction venue under His Majesty's direct jurisdiction. No matter how much the Value Minister of Finance is, he won't be able to do anything about it. "

Having completed some confirmations, Yu receives booklets, guides, etc. with auction rules, and leaves Suzzaties behind.

Then, as if waiting for it, a well-dressed old man, sitting on the bench, rises up and leans closer to Yu. Right behind me, two men followed to protect the man.

"Nice to meet you.

My name is William Bona Papal.

I'm still in charge of the Papal family. "

An old man - William said so, offering his hand to Yu and asking him to shake it.
