After waiting for a few minutes, the auction finally started. Because there was a ton of drinks in the fridge, I didn't hold myself back and took one can of orange juice.
Zayats also took a bottle of tea and drank it while sitting beside me.
A girl with long brown hair appeared in the middle of the stage while wearing something like a microphone near her mouth.
She was pretty. She also wore a mini yellow mini skirt and white tube top to further appeal her beauty to the crowd.
Most of the men that were looking at her from the normal seats were drolling. That was unpleasant, even though she's pretty, being looked at with a gaze full of lust must be unpleasant.
"Ladies and gentleman! Welcome to Spectra Auction today."
The girl raised her hands and welcomed the guests. There was a big smile on her face.
"Master, that girl is amazing. If I stand in the middle of that, I will certainly be nervous." Zayats said to me while looking at the girl in the middle of the stage.
I nodded my head and said.
"Yeah, if it's me who stood on that stage, I will certainly massacre all people in this building."
I drank the orange juice from the can. It was tastier than I thought.
"Even though I lived in the mountain this whole time and have no common sense, even I know that you went too far if you massacre all the people in this building, Master."
Zayats looked at me with an expression as if she didn't believe what I said.
I looked at her and grinned.
"I was joking."
"Master, your joke is not funny." Zayats looked at me with narrowed eyes.
"Hahahaha, maybe. But now, the auction begins for real."
I looked at the girl on the stage while resting my head on my right hand.
"My name is Sona, and I will guide you through the auction today. Without further ado, let's look at our first item!"
Beside the girl, Sona, the floor was opened by some mechanism, and a table with an item on top of it slowly risen from below the stage.
The item was encased inside transparent glass, so I can see it clearly. The item looked like a white ball marble, nothing was special.
"For the first item, it's a barrier stone. This stone will create a barrier around the owner and can save them from the Beast's attack. The barrier is tested and able to withstand 3 attacks from Garmr level Beast!"
"3 attacks from Garmr? Isn't that child play? I even played with Garmr when I was 10 years old." Zayats commented with a displeased tone while drinking her tea.
"Zayats, not everyone is strong. Those who can't use Magia are like maggots who can't even defend themselves without the help of a tool like that."
I pointed my left index finger to Zayats.
"You can't compare yourself to those maggots. You are my servant after all." I smiled at Zayats and she looked at me with a happy expression.
"Yes, Master!"
"The bid will start with 50 thousand Deep Coins. The minimum increase for the bid is 5 thousand Deep Coins! Auction Start!"
The crowd began to yell and raised their hands to bid. The first price of 50 thousand Deep Coins immediately becomes 100 thousand and keeps increasing.
"Master, if they can't see us, then how do we bid for our item?"
Zayats asked me while tilting her head.
I pointed at a button with 10 numbers below it in front of us.
"We can use that device to bid. First, we pressed the number to enter our bid and then we pressed the button to show our bid on the other side of the glass. It's a device created by combining technology and magic."
"I see! So it's like that. You are so knowledgeable, Master."
"Hahaha, it's normal for me to know everything!" I boasted to Zayats as I laughed hard.
I straightened my sitting position and crossed my leg as I put my hands on top of my thighs.
"It seems the first item is finished."
Zayats turned to look at the stage and I also focused my attention on the stage.
The girl raised a hammer that she took from her back and swung it to the ground, creating a loud noise.
Bam!
"The first item sold for 155 thousand Deep Coins to Guest number 207! Congratulations! You can get your item by talking to the receptionist."
The item that was on the stage slowly descended to the stage again. Right after I can't see the item, another table rose from below the stage, replacing the previous item.
The second item was three bottles of white liquid. The bottles were closed with a red cap, it was a simple cap to keep the liquid from spilling.
My eyes went wide when I saw the second item. Although it was not the item that I wanted, this item is useful in its own way.
"Interesting." I stood up from the couch and approached the bidding device.
I put my right hand on the glass wall and narrowed my eyes while my mouth was smiling wide that my teeth were visible.
"To think that one of the end items was sold here!"
I looked around the crowd and saw them having bored expressions. So they didn't know about that liquid, good for me.
"Master, why did you suddenly get excited?" Zayats approached me and stood beside me while looking at the stage with her head tilted a little.
"Listen, Zayats. That item..."
As I began to explain to Zayats, Sona shouted excitedly to inform the guests about the item.
"Here it is, the second item of the day. The liquid in this bottle is called Magipot! A Magical Girl found this in one of the ruins near Lithi City. She sell this to the Sprecta Auction because she didn't know about this liquid. But! After our investigation, this liquid seems to be able to increase the amount of Magia that a Magical Girl has!"
That's true, but she has the name of the liquid wrong. It's a beginner mistake to not recognize that liquid. After all, Magipot that Sona talked about was similar to that liquid.
"… that item is called Elixir. It's one of the ingredients to make an item called Limit Breaker that will allow Magical Girl to break their limit."
I continued my explanation to Zayats. She looked at me with an expectant gaze.
"Then, Master?"
"However, we need to add an ingredient that's located in the middle of the world where Giants lived to make the Limit Breaker. And, we need a Magical Girl specialized in potion-making to be able to make that Limit Breaker."
I have reached my limits long ago, and I had drank Limit Breaker a few times. Now I can't break my limit even if I drink Limit Breaker.
However, Zayats never drank Limit Breaker.
"We will get that item no matter what." I said while looking at the Elixir with a predatory gaze.
Zayats looked at the Elixir too with a serious face.
"The base price of this Magipot is 100 thousand Deep Coins! The minimum increase for the bid is 10 thousand Deep Coins! Auction Start!"
Sona's cheerful voice filled the hall. The guests began to bid after they heard the effect of the liquid. However, that Elixir will be mine.
Because I will get it no matter what.
"Even if we need to destroy this city."
