I Became the Younger Brother of the Female Protagonist in the Novel

Chapter 8

Piero’s progress continued, and I carefully examined the auction items.

“… … After all, the night auction is different.”

You had to pay one gold coin to get a membership that could be used for one year.

The night auction hall of Spay One Company, where only the rich are allowed to enter.

I let out a small sigh as I touched the memo with my finger.

‘Let’s start slowly.’

The auction house is open every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

And on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, auction items could be registered.

The day before the auction, I registered advanced potions and rare (R) grade magic tools as auction items, and I was able to enjoy a fairly high profit.

Bubbly.

A small building was located next to the Spay One auction house.

Inside the building, the auction staff were busy moving, and it was common to see auction items being registered at the reception desk that looked like a counter.

“Oh, you came today.”

A young female receptionist welcoming me.

and… … .

“Please register this today.”

Covering my face with an eagle mask and covering my body with a cloak, I immediately put 500g of mithril ore on the reception desk.

“This, this… … .”

“It is an ore called mithril.”

At my answer, the receptionist gulped down his saliva with a slightly surprised expression on his face.

An expensive ore that is sold once a month at the auction house. The amount will vary depending on the weight and purity, but… … .

She hurriedly cleared her astonished expression, gave me a business smile and handed me her registration number.

“As I have already said several times, if an auction item is successful, 3% of the winning bid amount will be collected from the SpayOne auction house as a commission. And 5% is excluded as tax, so if you bring this number ticket, I will hand over 92% of the winning bid amount.”

I nodded once and left the auction house.

‘At the auction a week ago, 300g of mithril ore was sold for 120 gold coins, so 500g… … Can I expect up to 200 gold coins?’

However, contrary to my expectations, 500g of mithril was sold for a huge amount of 260 gold coins at the night auction house opened on Wednesday.

‘It was great!’

These days, it seems that the frequency of visiting the auction house has increased more than going out to subdue the demons.

And Sophia, who visits the second annex twice a week.

The moment I felt that my relationship with her was getting closer, I had 1,470 gold coins in my hands.

“hahahaha… … .”

The amount earned in just one month.

“… … Next time, I’ll have to register the highest quality potion at the auction house.”

A famous medicine of the century that even severed parts of the body can be quickly regenerated.

As the materials, effort, and time required to manufacture the highest quality potion were enormous, its value was traded higher than other items.

Of course, it is being traded at a high price of 25,000 GP at the Gold Shop, but it must be low compared to the successful bid price traded at the auction house.

After charging 1,000 gold coins with 100,000 GP, I purchased the best potions and magical weapons and registered them for the next auction.

Episode 7

7. Main character, Sophia H Spay One (1)

“ladies and gentlemen! It’s such a beautiful night tonight. Today is really special… … We have some very special auction items. First of all, let me introduce you to the first auction item!”

The first introduction was a painting that was painted by a famous artist 300 years ago.

Art-loving nobles and wealthy people participated in the auction, calling for dozens of gold coins.

I sat down behind them, crossed my arms, and smiled.

‘Come out quickly.’

The average winning bid price for the highest quality potions on the auction house was 300 gold coins. On the other hand, I bought the highest quality potion for 250 gold coins. That is equivalent to 50 gold coins.

I was treated like a VIP at the Spay One Night Auction House, currently located in Karvan City.

The higher the bid amount, the higher the commission they take.

‘Since the 5% tax is paid to the imperial family, the imperial family has no choice but to look favorably on the Spey One Company.’

The Spey One Auction House, which was active in the Labadian Empire, was paying taxes of tens of thousands of gold coins to the imperial family every year.

The auction house was one of the biggest sources of income for the imperial family.

While I was lost in thought for a moment, the host immediately introduced the next auction item.

“In our auction house, once a year, a product that can only be seen appears in front of your eyes.”

drooling.

An auction house employee pulling a cart.

A small glass bottle was placed on the cart. A small glass bottle that can hold only 10mL of liquid.

However, the lid of the glass bottle was made of gold, giving it a luxurious look.

“Stop, please… … .”

“Why is he here… … .”

A great uproar broke out in the audience.

A legendary potion that is produced every year even in the Labadian Empire.

Of course, it wouldn’t be as effective as an elixir that revives the dead.

However, everyone was astonished by the appearance of a top-notch potion that was said to be able to regenerate severed parts in an instant.

It is said that in the past, someone drank that potion and healed his blindness in both eyes.

sh*t.

‘The response is good.’

While observing the reaction of the audience, I put my chin on my chin with a small smile.

How high will it go?

“Then, let’s start with 100 gold coins!”

The audience became busy with the host’s shout.

“110 coins!”

“150 coins!”

“200 coins!”

A night auction house that only deals in gold coins.

If you change the currency of this world to Hanwha… … .

1 iron coin is 10 won, 1 copper coin is 1,000 won, 1 silver coin is 100,000 won, 1 gold coin is 10,000,000 won, and 1 platinum coin is 1,000,000,000 won.

And at the Spay One night auction house, only gold coins were handled, and all customers who visited the auction house had money bags full of gold coins and platinum coins.

First of all, with that alone, you can confirm that all of the customers are not ordinary upper-class people.

Well, even the membership card costs one gold coin a year. If so, is it normal?

“350 coins!”

A man with a gruff voice shouted loudly while holding up a number ticket.

From noble mtl dot com

It exceeded the average amount of 300 gold coins.

OK… … .

“500 coins!”

“Customer #71 shouted for 500 gold coins!”

The auction house went silent for an instant.

An amount equivalent to 50 billion won in Korean currency.

Perhaps thinking that it would be too much of a loss to call for more than that, everyone put their numbers down on their thighs while paying attention.

Well, unless you’re in a hurry, you wouldn’t buy the best potion for 500 gold coins.

bang! bang! bang!

“Customer 71 won the 8th auction with 500 gold coins! Congratulations!”

I don’t know who it is, but I clenched my fists as I looked at the man holding the number 71.

‘500 gold coins, I’ll take it!’

Keynes made money by registering rare items while carefully examining the market price and auction items at the auction house every week.

Endairon frowned as he watched Kayneth go in and out of the auction house.

‘What the hell are you doing?’

All the situations that Endairon confirmed came to Sofia’s ears.

“every week… … You said you were going to and from the Spay One night auction house?”

At Sophia’s question, Elaim shrugged and nodded.

-I say so. It seems that he doesn’t have the will to subdue the monsters, and he keeps going out of the city to subdue the kobolds.

Ellaim’s answer made Sofia ponder for a moment.

I had a normal conversation with my younger brother, Keynes, until yesterday.

But I can’t believe my younger brother, who is only 9 years old, was visiting the auction house at night… … . What the hell are you doing at the auction house?

“… … Should I ask myself?”

-Will you answer me calmly… … I’m not sure. Rather, I’ll tell Endairon to go inside the auction house and see what Kayneth is up to. That would be faster and surer.

“Can you stay undetected?”

-He is also a high-level spirit. As long as you don’t make any mistakes, there won’t be any big problems.

“… … Okay, then I’ll ask you.”

Elaim sent a telegram to Endairon, who was watching Kayneth.

And Endairon, who received the order, followed Kayneth into the auction house.

Endairon frowned slightly at the crowd of people.

He stared intently at Kayneth, who was wearing an eagle mask and resting his chin on it.

-… … What the hell are you doing in a place like this?

Endairon clicked his tongue at the musty smell of drugs.

Then he hurriedly approached Keynes.

Seruk.

As Endairon approached, Keynes stood up from his seat.

He immediately left the auction house.

And Endairon, who followed him… … .

snap!

– Whoa… … ?!

I was caught by someone’s hand.

He opened his eyes wide and sighed.

“… … Did you get a flying fly twisted?”

sh*t.

A boy in an eagle mask looking down at himself with a smile.

Endairon had to gulp at the look in his eyes.

-My, you see me?

“Endairon, a high-ranking spirit of water… … Was it?”

-That, how… … .

“You’ve been running out of energy all along. I don’t know why you tried to follow me, but did you think I wouldn’t get noticed from a distance of less than 10m?”

-Keugh… … .

At Kayneth’s answer, Endairon frowned and muttered in a small voice, ‘It’s a waste.’

“Rather than that, tell me something. Why did you follow me?”

The boy in the eagle mask.

At Keynes’ question, Endairon averted his gaze while breaking out in a cold sweat.

-That, it just looks like fun… … .

“… … Do you think you would believe that?”

-All, I was simply interested in you.

At Endairon’s answer, Kayneth’s eyes cooled.

Soon after, Keynes glared at Endairon with grim eyes.

“I don’t want attention from men… … .”

-Our spirits are as*xual!
