Sapphire Auction House (3)

Although I often forgot because there was no combat, Yeon Taeseon is a weapon master.
At the same time, he is a Regressor.
Although he has no unique skill because he has not made a formal contract, the combat skills this Regressor has accumulated in the past are not to be ignored.
It means that it is a great loss to just let him be.
Of course, I didn’t just let him be.
He found work for himself and did it well.
Anyway.
A problem arises here.
‘What kind of weapon should I give him?’
He would use a sword well if I gave him one.
But there is a limit with just a sword.
A Regressor is a species that can use not only a bow, a dagger, but even an alchemical potion to kill an enemy.
In a situation like this, I can’t just give him a single sword and say, ‘Go and kill.’
But another dilemma arises here.
The problem is that it costs a lot of money to provide many weapons.
If the amount of money is large, you can’t buy many weapons, and if you try to buy a lot anyway, the quality will eventually drop.
It’s not for nothing that Yeon Taeseon is getting by with low-quality weapons.
But the story changes if there is an item in front of my eyes that looks like a group of eggs gathered in a nest.

[EX: The Law of All Changes]
A certain thing, born from a mineral under the ground and became a sparkling bird like a jewel, thought.
‘I want to be freer!’
God answered that wish, and received a price from the bird.
In exchange for creating a small egg, the bird went out into a wider world.
To a place where a physical body was not needed.
The 7 remaining eggs could take on any form to be free, and would only hatch in the hands of a qualified person.
The Law of All Changes!
This item is like a living myth.
It can change into something other than a weapon.
It can also change into a consumable item like an elixir, and even in that case, the effect is the same.
Of course, there was the disadvantage that it would disappear with a single sip, but in terms of the ability itself, it was at an absurd level.
And it’s not that the 7 eggs function as one, but each egg can change individually.
It means that Yeon Taeseon can wield a longsword in one hand and an axe in the other to beat his opponent.
‘But…’
I looked at the instant bid price under this item.

[20 billion]
It’s steep….
The money I have scraped together from the Nate Guild is about 200 billion.
Am I going to burn a tenth of that here?
It was a problem that required some thought.
“Yeon Taeseon.”
“Why… are you like that.”
“Do you have any stashed money?”
“…?”
“I’m asking if you have any money.”
“I do.”
“How much?”
“15 billion.”
“Give it to me.”
I pressed the bid button immediately without even listening to his answer.
Beep-
…I was about to press it.
If a pale white hand hadn’t pressed it before me.
“Huk… heok…”
I frowned as much as I could and looked at the person who had pressed the button.
A handsome blond foreigner was sweating, and he was panting as if he had just run a sprint, next to me.
When I stared at him, he quickly stood up straight and held out his hand to me.
“I-I’m Robert. I’m an S-rank hunter.”
“Your business.”
I know very well that you’re an S-rank.
You bastard.

[The Constellation, ‘The Greatest Jealousy’, bows his head, saying he is a precious S-rank hunter.]
[The Constellation, ‘The Greatest Jealousy’, begs you not to kill him.]
Since I’m not checking the coin messages, he’s pleading with me through these messages.
‘I’m not… a psycho.’
To kill a person just because I don’t like them?
But it’s a bit annoying.
Because I just missed out on a precious item right in front of my eyes.
At my cold words, Robert stammered.
“Well…”
As my expression soured over time, he quickly bowed his head.
“Would you do me the honor of having a meal with me!”
“What?”
The one who answered the resounding voice was not me, but Yeon Taeseon.
“You bastard…”
“I hope the uninvolved man will shut up.”
“Your tone says it all. You must have fallen in love at first sight.”
Yeon Taeseon grabbed my shoulder and pulled me into an embrace.
It was a very ostentatious skinship.
“But my Constellation is not a match for you.”
“Constellation?”
Robert lifted his head.
After staring at my face so rudely, he seemed to understand and smiled brightly.
“I thought so! That’s why she’s a match for my side.”
“…”
“I am the number one hunter in America. So my partner must be an S-rank hunter or higher. If you are a Constellation, you must of course be with me…!”

[The Constellation, ‘The Greatest Jealousy’, apologizes.]
[The Constellation, ‘The Greatest Jealousy’, apologizes.]
[The Constellation, ‘The Greatest Jealousy’, apologizes.]
[The Constellation, ‘The Greatest Jealousy’, …]
At the same time, Robert paused.
A scolding must be coming down from his Constellation.
I glared at him with narrowed eyes.
It was obvious that his Constellation was sweating profusely and was in a difficult position.
“No, but to send me a scenario asking me to apologize is…”
Just then, a neatly dressed employee came and took out the Law of All Changes from the glass case and handed it to Robert.
Robert, who had received it in a daze and paid for it, said with an even more dumbfounded expression.
“Huh? Am I supposed to just hand this over? But to get a dinner appointment…”
I looked at him.
“A Constellation doesn’t have to eat.”
Of course, I had a sense of taste.
That’s why I had eaten Sion’s pancakes and various desserts so deliciously.
But I had no intention of telling him that.
“Depending on the nature of the Constellation, there are cases where they feel a rejection to eating itself. It’s different from humans. You don’t have to sleep, and you’re not bound by romantic feelings.”
I felt Yeon Taeseon flinch greatly, so I sent a message.

[The Constellation, ‘The Silent Calamity’, says she has mixed in a lie, so don’t worry.]
“So you need to know how rude of a proposal you’re making right now.”
It might be a question to be called rude for just a dinner proposal, but from a Constellation’s point of view, it was right that a human just speaking to them was rude.
And to hold the item I was trying to buy hostage and make a dinner proposal at that.
And to judge whether I’m a match for his side or not?
“There’s a limit to being arrogant…”

[The Constellation, ‘The Greatest Jealousy’, apologizes.]
[The Constellation, ‘The Greatest Jealousy’, apologizes.]
Tsk.
I glared at him with all the strength in my eyes.
My Sun’s Eye flickered with anger.
“Let’s go, Yeon Taeseon.”
“…Yeah.”
I’m not without any lingering feelings for the Law of All Changes.
But just because I missed the best doesn’t mean there’s no second best.
‘A guy who is inferior to Yeon Taeseon is so arrogant.’
I quickly turned around.
Yeon Taeseon linked arms with me like a groom getting married.
My hair, which I had lengthened with magic, waved and fluttered.
“W-wait a minute!”
Whether Robert called or not, I strode into the hall.
As long as that guy was there, I felt like the normal auction was over, so I was thinking of just dropping him off and going shopping again.
But as soon as I went out into the hall, Robert ran in front of me, knelt on one knee, and held out his hand.
In his hand was the Law of All Changes.
“I’m so sorry! It would be an honor if you would have a meal with me just once!!”
Robert’s resounding voice echoed in the hall full of people.
“…”
“…”
“…”
“…”
I could feel everyone’s attention on us.
It was truly the worst.

[The Constellation, ‘The Greatest Jealousy’, apologizes.]
[The Constellation, ‘The Greatest Jealousy’, apologizes.]
[The Constellation, ‘The Greatest Jealousy’, apologizes.]
“Instead, I will buy all the items you are trying to purchase…”
“The item in your hand?”
“This is a gift…”
“When are we having dinner?”
I quickly picked up the Law of All Changes.
I can’t not take the opportunity to fleece him for over 100 billion won in one meal.
It seemed very materialistic, but it can’t be helped if you don’t have money.
Unless Nate quickly establishes an overseas branch and rakes in the money, I have to do this for my kids.
Robert smiled brightly.
“Thank you!”
I’m the one who’s more grateful.

[The Constellation, ‘The Greatest Jealousy’, repeatedly emphasizes that you don’t have to have a meal with him.]
So it doesn’t matter if I run away cowardly when the time comes.
He’s not my contractor, and it’s a promise with an arrogant person’s contractor, so I have no obligation to keep it.
It wasn’t a promise made with the power of a Constellation, and it wasn’t a proposal system, it was just a promise with a human.
From a human’s perspective, it’s like making a dinner appointment with an ant.
I smiled brightly.
Robert was ecstatic.
Let’s see how far that ecstasy goes.
I turned my steps back to the normal auction house.
