The appearance of a human girl as a lot was a surprise to everyone, but then the auction continued at its usual pace. As Ern had requested, the girl was brought to him at once.
Click.
The door hinged, and she stepped inside. The girl bowed slightly and said quietly, "Thank you for buying me."
She was embarrassed, you could see it in her face and look, but she did it anyway.
'Hmm? Is she trained yet? The organizers either have a lot of experience in training slaves, or she was captured at least a few days ago.' Wain thought.
"Don't be." Ern waved his hand, "I didn't buy you as a slave, spare me this awkwardness and have a seat. We want to talk to you."
"We...?" The girl looked at Wain.
She nodded and sat down next to Ern.
"What's your name?"
"Alice Ruto..."
"I'm Ern, and this is Wain, and we have a few questions for you, but before we do... Wain, would you mind doing this?"
