Now it was Satoshi's turn; the spotlight hit him, and he stammered and shouted,
"What's going on, for fuck's sake?!"
From the back, an attendant cracked a whip and signaled him to be quiet.
The auctioneer pointed at Satoshi and said,
"Well, what we have here is a rare sight, a scrawny northerner. He can help with household chores or, if you have strange fetishes, he's a worthless bastard you won't hesitate to whip!"
"Hey!!" Satoshi's shout was cut short by the whip, and he screamed in a high-pitched voice, "Ouch!" Getting whipped again, he bit his lip and fell silent.
"As you can see, it's quite enjoyable to whip him. Now, let's start the bidding at 5 silver."
"501 copper!" shouted a 5-year-old girl with a sadistic smile on her face.
The auctioneer intervened and said, "Miss, we can't increase by such small amounts—"
"501.5 copper!" came from a red-haired 6-year-old lady.
One of the auction participants thought aloud, "Where the hell did you find half a copper?!"
The kid beside the 'dark-featured' guy said, "501.6 copper!" and smiled as if an angel was shining on him.
The auctioneer was bewildered and said, "Ehmm... uhhh... Anyway, going for 501.7 copper, once, twice..."
The child shouted angrily, "I said 501.6, you deaf jerk! Are you fucking trying to rip me off, you fucking pig! You piece of shit! Don't look at the floor, look at me! You FAT FUCK!!!!"
The auctioneer was stunned and was about to speak when the child yelled at the top of his lungs, "SON OF A BITCH!!"
The auctioneer's feelings were hurt; he bowed his head. In his 20 years of experience, he had never made such a mistake (although he made much worse ones, but it stings when you get such a reaction). Feeling down, he bowed his head. Seeing this, Satoshi tried to console him, and the auctioneer looked at Satoshi's face, his eyes widened, and then he murmured ''Even this piece of shit feels sorry for me, damn it.'' He wiped his tears with his arm and was about to left the stage...
Satoshi, ''I heard that..''
''Shut the fuck up!''
And left the stage, sobbing.
The organization panicked as they couldn't immediately find a new auctioneer. The chaos started to spiral as they failed to find a replacement.
At that moment, by some luck, A woman with red hair and red eyes with piercing gaze entered from the back door and told the authorities that she was good at marketing and could take over.
Having no other choice, the organization gave her a fox mask and sent her to the stage.
***
In the midst of the chaos on stage, Satoshi's face lit up. At that moment, a red-haired milf-ish woman in a black dress walked onto the stage with the dominant sound of high heels. Everyone fell silent, and Satoshi looked at her, his mouth watering. Yes, this was the new auctioneer.
The woman got on stage and addressed the audience,
"Dear guests, as the previous poor old auctioneer ran off, I will continue."
Hearing the woman's voice, Satoshi had a flashback... like, not your ordinary flashback, this was a legit Vietnam flashback, and he was cut off from the outside world with a ringing in his ears.
**November 12, 1965, Vietnam, Frontlines**
Satoshi was hugging his out-of-ammo cheap rifle in the ditch... When his cap fell over his eyes, he came to his senses.
He crawled through the ditch, past his dead comrades, and lay on top of a pile of corpses, setting an ambush
Everything made sense now. All the ridiculous fantasies he had lived were just dreams…
He grabbed the leg of an enemy soldier who stepped on him, delivered a solid blow to the back of his knee with his elbow, and knocked him down. In a frenzy, Satoshi bit the man's throat and killed him...
He took the man's weapon and started picking off the soldiers who had already passed the trench, one by one, killing a total of four. As he savored the thrill of revenge, he saw a bayonet pierce through his chest.
Turning around in anger, he stabbed his bayonet into the chin of the soldier who had bayoneted him, lifting him up and shouting, "ARGHHHHHHHHH!"
Then he fell to his knees from blood loss, and as his vision darkened, he saw a tank shell coming at him and screamed one last time…
****
Satoshi's scream continued as he was whipped, turning to the man with hatred and saying, "You fucking FASCISTS!!"
He stood up, broke the ropes tying his hands with sheer strength, and leaped at the man...
After wrestling on the ground for a while, the man couldn't get up. Satoshi took the man's whip and started whipping him with patriotic fury.
The man started scream with each blow, "Ahhh, mppphhh, yeees. I mean staaaawpp!! Ahhhhh!!!" He seemed to enjoying it, rather than suffering…
At that moment, the red-haired auctioneer approached them and just lifted Satoshi by his belt like it was nothing.
Then, Satoshi came out of the adrenaline rush and looked at her face. He already knew who she was, he recognized her voice just before the flashbacks. It was Aurora...
Satoshi started seeing flashbacks again, feeling like he would drown and die once more. In an embarrassed tone, he asked Aurora,
"Uhm… Why are you here, ma'am?"
Aurora continued smiling at the people attending the auction while quietly responding to Satoshi,
"Oh, so now you're calling me ma'am? You think you can get away with what you've done?" Her tone made it clear she was angry.
Satoshi had no idea what she was talking about and started to feel stressed.
"Did I do something to upset you, ma'am?"
Aurora replied, slightly confused by Satoshi's change in demeanor,
"You destroyed the church my followers built, killed the archbishop, and now you're asking what you did?"
Satoshi thought to himself, 'Oh, great, now our goddess is holding me accountable for indirectly killing her pedophile followers. What kind of goddess is that? Put aside having pedo followers, she even cares about them! Even Satan is more innocent, you bitch!'
Just as Satoshi was about to stop thinking and respond, he sensed Aurora's killing intent. She was glaring at him with fiery eyes. Reflexively, Satoshi shut his mouth and thought,
'Can she hear my thoughts?!'
A voice echoed in his mind, 'I can hear you loud and clear. I knew this obedient act was a sham, you useless piece of trash!'
Satoshi, holding back tears, continued to think, 'Why are you here bi-ma-am? Are you going to kill me again?!'
Aurora calmly replied, 'What? Of course not. Interfering in the mortal world can seriously disrupt the balance of nature. I'm just here to make sure you're sold as a slave.'
'As a Goddess, being here to sell me as a slave doesn't count as interference?'
'How much do you think selling a good for nothing like you will affect anything? Did you think you were a king or something, you worthless piece of crap?'
'Oh, for a worthless piece of crap, you say? And you sure got off your magnificent throne and brought your saintly ass all the way down here to see me. So there are two possibilities: either I'm not a worthless piece of crap—which I am, and I'm proud of it—or you're just a worthless piece of crap who says, 'I am Goddess of blah blah,' but in the end, you're watching me all day in that room Because you have nothing else to do, you are a lonely goddess who sits all day in her dark room. Aww poor thing...'
Aurora's anger was at its peak, 'When you die, I will personally make sure you go to hell.'
'Hooo' After saying that, Satoshi flashed his sweet smile at Aurora.
She startled with fear and dropped Satoshi to the ground, thinking, 'Ugh, even though I gave him that smile, it's still beyond ugliness'
A whisper from behind spoke, "Ma'am, you must continue the auction now!"
Aurora looked at the man angrily, and he quietly stepped back, and quietly walked away...
'Don't tell me what to do, you dicks.'
Satoshi thought, 'Say it out loud if you have some ba--.'
Aurora, with her high heel pressed into Satoshi's asshole on the ground, began to speak,
"Let's continue, then dear guests! Who wan—* YEEEEOUCHHHH" Satoshi screamed, cutting off her speech, but Aurora continued her words.
*to take this strong Northerner as a porter?" she said, and the auction continued.*
*Boooo! Boooooo!*
Veins bulged on Aurora's forehead with anger, and she asked, "Is there a problem, dear guest?"
"Of course, there is! No one wants to take this useless piece of crap!"
Satoshi started to say, "That's ru-* YEEEEOUCHHHH" as Aurora dug her heel into Satoshi's depths, causing him to let out one final cry of pain before falling silent.
Aurora said, "We have an order here, you shithead! We're not bringing out new slaves until this one is sold!"
Faced with her aggressive manner, the customer clamped his mouth shut. Satoshi thought to himself, hoping Aurora would hear, "Calm down, tomboy, know your limits. You're the seller here, you should be respectful to the customer, dear sister."
Aurora looked at Satoshi, who was on the ground with her heel on his rear, his face beaming with a saintly smile and his eyes shining. Man, what a righteous expression...
Aurora thought, 'My limits are beyond the universe, you pathetic excuse for a human!'
'My ass.'
Aurora's ears turned red, and at that moment, a man came in and said, "Ma-am, actually, we can bring out new slaves for spots A and B."
"Oh, is that so?"
"Yes, ma'am."
"Then what the hell are you waiting for? Ugh, I'm surrounded by a bunch of useless idiots."
"Y-yes, ma'am, I'll bring them right aw—"
"Are you still here, you useless shit?"
As the man went to bring the slaves, he thought to himself, "Wait a minute, this bitch just came in two minutes ago. I-I should be at a higher rank, right?"
Gathering his courage, the man stood up to Aurora. She stared blankly at him, and he at her...
...
...
...
...
Satoshi said, "Speak already."
The man stammered, "Ehm-uhm—" as his eyes filled with tears, "I-I've been here for 15 y-years—"
Aurora snapped, "HA!?!"
The man backed away in fear, and for a moment he made eye contact with Satoshi on the floor then thought,
"This kid on the floor is in worse shape than me... but I don't despise him. We are the sam—"
Satoshi had his usual creepy smile on his face and thought, "Fucking loser."
This man did not fear his ugly smirk. Feeling the weight of his betrayal, the man went off to fetch the new slaves with tears on his eyes and his head down...
***
*In spot A, a gay incubus was brought out, and in spot B, Satoshi's mentor, a drunken old man, brought out and Aurora finally pulled her heel out of Satoshi's ass and let him return to the C spot*
Aurora said, "Alright, you freaks, your wish has been granted! There are new slaves at spots A and B, but I don't give a shit! Who wants this northern idiot? Free of charge!"
The staff called out, "Hey, you can't do th— Ahh nevermind just sell him, who cares…"
…
…
…
…
No one seemed to be bidding for Satoshi. Before Aurora showed up, there might have been a few potential buyers, but her intimidating aura seemed to have scared off the brats who were interested.
Reluctantly, Aurora opened the bidding for spots A and B. She started the bids for the gay incubus in spot A at 30 gold, but for ten minutes, no one made an offer. Just as they were about to move to spot B,
"1000 Gold!" someone shouted.
It was that guy—no flesh but shades… whom appearance was still a mystery, even though he kept staring straight to the light! Seems like not only was his body huge, his heart was too, with such a generous bid.
Or maybe he was just a sucker.
For bidding, they gave the drunken old man as much time as they spent on Satoshi, but no one wanted to bid for him either. And once again... we're back to Satoshi.
