"It's four Shards sir . " [Old Woman Voice]
"Here you go ... " [Andel]
"Thank you !" [Hecate]
'Chump'
I take a big bite from the kebab . It tastes quite good . The juice is a little sour while the soft meat melts in your mouth .
City of Yalore . A small city in the northern reaches with a population of only fifty thousand . Usually, this town wouldn't matter in the Purgatory Realm , but here an individual institution has its base : Yalore's Academy of Pleasure .
As per Gargran's explanation , Yalore is the place where the best sex slaves are trained . Every one hundred years there is a huge auction where the slaves produced in the last century are sold to the highest bidder .
Still , the reason why we are here is not for buying a slave ... The reason why we came here is because , away from the auctioned slaves , there are many other items put on display as well .
I don't need this kind of stuff as I already have an insanely annoying overpowered sword and a yandere armour . They are for Hecate and Mea that severely lacks some proper equipment .
"Sir , how about a tankard of beer ? It's only one shard !" [Male voice]
Haah ... Considering that the auction will start in less than four hours , this small city is filled with peoples and food vendors . As for Shards , those are the real currency of this world . Soul Tears are way to precious to be used as money . This is why the Shard has been introduced . One million shards are equal with one Soul Tear . Still , some cold beer sounds quite nice !
"Give us four !" [Andel]
"Certainly sir !" [Male voice ]
-------------------------------
"Thank you, everyone, for coming today . The Great Hundred Years Yalore's Auction has now officially begun ! We shall start with the Slave Auction !" [Announcer]
'Clapping'
Right now we are in a Colosseum like structure with a stage in the middle and rows upon rows of chairs all around . There are at least two million people here. On the stage is an announcer with big bulging muscles and pitch black skin wearing a white suit.
A few minutes after the auction started , the first slave was brought on the stage . A big hologram is projected above the stage so that everyone can see what is happening .
"Ladies and gentleman , this one over here is a human female from the Royal Family of Willfred . She has been trained in the Yalore Academy for a little over eighty years and has mastered the art of inducing pleasure to the extreme . Furthermore , as you can observe , her hair is green which is extremely rare for humans . The starting price is 100 Soul Tears ! " [Announcer]
"100"
"150"
"200"
"Don't even think about it . This girl is mine ! 300"
"Hah, an insect like you should not even think of obtaining something I put my eyes on ! 500."
...........
"500 ONCE ... 500 TWICE ... SOLD FOR 500 SOUL TEARS TO NUMBER 27.913 "[Announcer]
It looks like it's over . The winner came to the scene , put the girl on his shoulder and just left like that . The entire time , that poor human girl didn't even flinch . Maybe I should actually come back here at night and deal with that so called Academy once and for all...
"The next one is .... " [Announcer]
The auction just continued like that . Girl after girl has been sold just like pets . The prices varied between fifty and one thousand Soul Tears . Haah ... I don't really care anymore . The world can't be changed in a single day . Even if I were to kill all those bastards and release those girls , they would just be replaced by others . It's an infinite circle ...
---------------------------
"Listen well everyone , the next girl is quite amazing . She is a five tailed Kitsune ." [Announcer]
'Ohhh '
Loud sounds of surprise can be heard all around . I direct my eyes towards the scene and there stands a beautiful Kitsune with fair golden hair and eyes and jade-like skin . She is wearing a small white dress that emphasised her feature to the extreme . Still , the look on her face is completely blank . No emotion whatsoever ... It seems like she has been broken already .
"As everyone knows , the kitsune race went almost extinct twenty thousand years ago . Even before that , the population of the Kitsune Tribe was tiny . This is why in the whole Purgatory Realm there are less than ten thousand Kitsune . Furthermore, she arrived in the purgatory realm exactly fifty-eight years ago and still has eighty Soul Tears . Not to mention that she has been trained in the Yalore academy , she is the dream of any man ! The starting price is 1000 Soul Tears !" [Announcer]
" 1000 "
" Shut up ! Even if I spend my whole fortune , that Kitsune is mine ! 1500 "
"Hmph ! Don't even think about it ! 1700 "
.............
It looks like everyone is interested in this girl . The price starts rising . But I can't take my eyes off her ...
There is something about her ... Something ... Interesting !
"10.000 SOUL TEARS ! Who dares to bid more than me ?" [Male voice]
Silence ... No one dares to utter another world after the last bid . The announcer looks around to see if there is anyone that might be interested into bidding more and proceeds into announcing the winner .
"10.000 ONCE ... 10.000 TWICE ... SOLD FOR ....." [Announcer]
"ONE MILLION !" [Andel]
"EHHHH " "HaahH" "Huuuh "
Not even thinking about it I bid quite a significant sum for that girl . But I don't care .
Exodus has quite a lot of stories left to tell so money can be easily be made .
"Uhhh .. Very well ... Does anyone want to bid more ? THEN SOLD FOR 1.000.000 SOUL TEARS TO NUMBER 666 !" [Announcer]
I go to the scene and raise the girl off the ground in a princess carry style heading towards my seat . When I get back , Hecate gives me a strange look ...
"Andel – sama , if you wanted to do that then ... You could have just asked me ... If it's you , I wouldn't have said no ..." [Hecate]
Uhhh ... Yeah, I know that it looks bad . I just bought a sex slave ... But I had to ... There is something ... Interesting about this girl . Something that , although I don't know what it is , I must find out .
"Blood Bag !" [Andel]
"Eh ? What is that Andel – sama ? " [Hecate]
"Exactly what it sounds to be . Kitsune blood is delicious !" [Andel]
All three of them gave me one final odd look ... Of course , that blood bag thing is a lie . Although Kitsune blood is actually amazing in certain situations , I won't drink her blood just like that . From the looks of it , she was pretty much broken and transformed into a doll that follows every single one of her master's orders . Well , for now , let's see if we can restore her soul to what it was before coming to this place ... It will be hard , but not impossible !
-------------------------------
In the end, we managed to get quite a few weapons and armours for Hecate and Mea, and we are now heading towards a house that we reserved earlier today .
We are walking with my new "Blood Bag" holding my left hand and Hecate grabbing the right one ... Two beautiful girls , one for each side ... Not bad !
"Maybe I should visit Andel – sama tonight ..." [Hecate]
I can hear quite an interesting murmur from Hecate ... Well , I have no problem with that idea .
--------------------------------
Later that night , Hecate tried three times to sneak into my room but stopped each time before opening the door . I could sense her presence outside my room , last time for about twenty minutes . But she didn't enter ...
She is quite timid ...
"Pang pang pang " [ HaaaHHHH !!! ]
Uhhh ... I've been hearing those noises for a while now ... They come from Mea's room ... I've checked, and the other person is actually Gargran ...
Still , they need to learn what being discreet means ...
I summon Exodus in front of me while suppressing his power not to awaken the whole town .
"Andel ?" [Exodus]
"two friends of mine wanted to hear you stories next door ." [Andel]
"Ohhh ... I see ... If that's the case , then who am I to say no to their request . Hehe he !" [Exodus]
He passes directly through the wall and starts his nonsense . I can hear surprise sounds from Mea and Gargran .
I put a little barrier around their room and activate Fifth Revelation : Time Warp . Now , one hour outside is going to be ten hours inside .
"Good luck you two !" [Andel]
I mutter that and go to sleep .
