Kuro-sama, is there anything wrong?"
When we're walking to the place to get the items, it seems my dissatisfied mood leaks out, the manager asks worryingly.
"No, it's just that I thought the 『Chant Orb』 was too cheap considering the winning bid in the past.
"When you say it like that, certainly."
According to the history, [Chant Orb] was won at around 200-400 gold coins.
The answer to that is brought by the usherette who's guiding us.
"That's because of the note raised by your proxy."
"Note?"
She consented when I asked again.
If I'm not mistaken, the color of the note differs depending on the potential amount.
My upper limit was 10.000, so the other people who saw that probably pulled back.
We enter the place to get the item that's strictly protected by high level knights.
The proxy of Duke Oyugock has entered first, they're confirming the payment.
I'm guided to a different table, and then I take out a bag of gold coins for the payment.
--One of the luminous points disappears.
I promptly open the marker list on the map.
--Blast it!
"Ku-Kuro-sama?"
Looks like I unconsciously used [Coercion] skill, the surrounding people have solidified with blue faces.
"The orb has been stolen. I will chase the criminal. Manager, finish the winning bid procedure."
"I-I understand."
After confirming the manager's reply, I leave that place.
