The usherette tells me that I'm the fifth.
Apparently, in case of simultaneous note-raises like this, the spotlight will highlight the notes in turn.
Now then, leaving that apart.
The first lower noble announces with tension in his voice.
『10 gold coins!』
--I wait and see.
The spotlight highlights the proxies of the lower nobles one after another.
『11 gold coins!』
『12 gold coins!』
『12 gold coins and 1 silver coin!』
--They play around too much.
"Kuro-sama, please."
"Umu--"
I receive the mic and pause a bit.
First, it's the skirmish.
I'll cut the mob, leaving only the serious opponents.
『100 gold coins』
I calmly said so, and turned my sight toward the one who's going to bid after me in the noble seats.
I wait for the noble of lineage, some Earl or something, to state his bid--.
He's having a long deliberation, perhaps for ascertaining my move.
Looks like he's quite capable.
He's not lacking as an opponent.
And then, voices come out of the hall's speaker.
『The winner of [Chant Orb] is number 3.』
--eh?
"Congratulations, Kuro-sama."
I can hear the manager congratulating me and applauses in the hall.
No but, most of the 300.000 gold coins still remain though....
I feel somewhat downhearted, so I bid and won [Water Magic] and [Paralyze Resistance] for childish prices.
I remembered after having won it that the [Water Magic] and [Paralyze Resistance] orbs were the items we brought from the labyrinth.
