Yes, the coast is clear. It doesn’t look like anyone is following me at the moment.

「Should I do some shopping before I go back?」

There is no known magic or Skills that would allow the user to steal items from someone else’s Item Box, so there shouldn’t be any problems on that front. I can go back home after I finish my shopping, and we’re doing exactly that.

「Master, there is a message from Luke. He seems to have made a successful bid for a Green Caterpillar’s Skill Crystal.」

When I return to the house, there is a message from Luke waiting for us. Roxanne reads the contents of the message. The Green Caterpillar Skill Crystal? Well, a spare Sacrificial Misanga could be made with it, so I don’t see the reason why we wouldn’t want to go and get it.

The next morning I sold the mirror, then headed to the Merchants Guild in Quratar after having breakfast. I asked Roxanne to handle the washing and cleaning up in the meantime.

That being said, I am feeling a little bit sorry for her and the other two, because due to all of the things that I need to take care of I was unable to prepare breakfast myself for quite a while now.

In my defense though, I have been preparing the water used for the washing and cleaning, so I guess it kinda offsets my not making breakfast, right? Anyway, I called for Luke the Broker, and we went to the conference room where we would have our talk.

「Here is the Green Caterpillar Skill Crystal.」

「Certainly.」

I received the Green Caterpillar Skill Crystal from Luke. I also used 「Identify」to check if it was a genuine article or not, and sure enough, it was genuine through and through.

「Since the holidays are approaching, we might see a slight increase in the number of items being exibited.」

「Oh really?」

I wonder if the holidays in this world are the same as the ones in the real world: a season where people are ready to spend their money much more readily in comparison to the other seasons?

No, I am sure that it’s because people are preparing their money so that they could spend it at the auction, just like I was doing for the past few days. Shit. That might mean that the number of rivals during the slave auction might’ve just increased.

「The repayment of debts is often done at the end of the season.」

Oh, apparently not. Is it the same kind of thing as the bills and such being settled and people selling their belongings before O-Bon and on the last day of the year? Since there is no end-of-the-month closing in this world, it would seem natural for such things to be settled at the end of the season instead.

「I see.」

「But thanks to that, yesterday, after making a successful bid for the Green Caterpillar Skill Crystal I was also able to make a successful bid of five thousand Nars on a Kobold Skill Crystal. I assume that the plan of you buying it along with the Scissoresque Carnivorous Plant Skill Crystal is still valid, isn’t it?」

Luke pressed me on that matter with a nice smile on his face. This is it. He definitely got that Skill Crystal for much cheaper than five thousand four hundred Nars. And now that he has his hands on it, if he sells it to me for five thousand four hundred Nars, he is definitely going to make a profit out of it.

「Y-Yes, of course. The price is still the same as we have previously decided.」

「Thank you very much for your business. Very well then, here are the Kobold Skill Crystal and the Scissoresque Carnivorous Plant Skill Crystal, as promised.

Luke pulls out two Skill Crystal and puts them on the table. I checked them, and they really are a Kobold and Scissoresque Carnivorous Plant Skill Crystals.

If I tried to haggle, I probably could negotiate the price that would be a little cheaper than the five thousand four hundred Nars, but I am happy with that as it is so I’m going to take it without complaining. And besides, I cannot go back on my word now.

If I make a successful bid through an auction, then it won’t be so cheap anyway. By preparing dummy bidders to compete with each other, it is easy to raise the successful bid price to the highest possible price that one can pay. All that you’d have to do later would be to have the exhibitor to kick back the price that has soared so unusually high. And seeing how the exhibitors during the auctions are most likely going to be Luke’s fellow brokers, then I think that a degree of flexibility like that should work.

「That’s right. Now, let’s pay the fee for the Green Caterpillar’s Skill Crystal together with the fee for the other Skill Crystals.」

「Normally it would be six thousand six hundred Nars just for the Scissoresque Carnivorous Plant Skill Crystal itself, but since I’ve asked you for something pretty unreasonable, so allow me to apologize for it with a special offer of eight thousand seven hundred and fifty Nars for them.」

「Okay then, here you go.」

All right, my thirty percent discount worked perfectly once again.

Five thousand four hundred Nars is already an expensive price, but I have no way of knowing if Luke himself could get it thirty percent cheaper than that, considering the fact that he has to raise the price enough to make sure that he himself could make enough profit from such transactions.

After paying him the money, I confirm the name of the Skill Crystal out loud, and put the Skill Crystal in my Item Box. It doesn’t make any difference to me since I checked them with 「Identify」anyway. I also handle them carefully, since that is what someone who can’t use「Identify」 would do. They would handle them carefully, because these items are precious.

I paid the price, and seven hundred Nars commission fee for the Skill Crystals. I might be taken advantage of if I order the same thing over and over, so I didn’t order another Kobold Skill Crystal this time. The harem might increase because of the auction, so I didn’t cancel the order for Green Caterpillar Skill Crystal either.

「Recently, the auctions are getting more and more popular.」

When our business was concluded, Luke continued to chat with me. Is there anything else that he might be trying to rope me into? Well, I might as well go along with him for this ride since I have my thirty percent discount.

「Because it’s a good way for people to repay their debts at the end of the season?」

「Yes. For example: in order to repay their debt at the end of the season, the fallen Baradam family are also going to make their move. They will be exhibiting a The Holy Spear from today onwards.」

「Oh, so there’s going to do that after all?」

「Yes. Like I said, the information about the Holy Spear being exhibited has probably been spread out by them on purpose to increase the possibility of selling the spear as well as to manipulate the number of sales on Kobold Skill Crystals. They want to lure in more bidders to make absolutely sure that they will recover financially as much as possible.」

I could put 「MP absorption」on a The Holy Spear. It would also be interesting for me to try switching up the weapons that I use for a bit.

「Is it possible to see the exhibition of The Holy Spear?」

「Well… it’s certainly not impossible.」

Luke hesitated for a bit.

「Is… is there a problem?」

「There’s a certain story concerning that item…. But can I ask you keep what you’re about to hear to yourself?」

「Of course. I understand.」

「The Baradam family seemed to have brought The Holy Spear to the brokers to have it appraised first, but the price offered to them for it was too cheap, so they switched to have it put on an exhibition instead. For that reason, we the brokers have decided among ourselves not to bid on it, except those of us who placed orders on Kobold Skill Crystals.」
