I looked at Rasha who was lying down.

[Castle Wall: Stranglehold]

“…”

Originally, Rasha’s walls were empty.

However, after fighting with me, a small change came to the walls.

There is such a saying.

When hypoxia occurs due to lack of breathing, intracerebral drugs such as endorphins and dopamine are released within the brain, creating a feeling of pleasure.

But, I had no idea that Rasha would become like that.

I felt a little sorry, but it was a good thing from my perspective.

It was much easier to attack the area with a castle wall than the area without a castle wall.

After getting out of the ring, I asked the official.

“If Rasha becomes a slave, when can I purchase it?”

“…If that happens, you will be able to purchase it at the auction as soon as tomorrow.”

“So quickly…”

It was a bit surprising.

Didn’t Rasha’s younger sister say it was two weeks later?

…So Rasha’s younger sister is a special item?

Honestly, in my opinion, Rasha was also very pretty.

Nevertheless, seeing as it was not a special sale, it appears that expensive slaves are not simply determined by appearance.

“…Just in case, let’s make some more money.”

It seemed like there would be a need for more gambling and currency exchange to raise enough funds for the auction.

And it just so happened that the gambling method here was very advantageous to me.

I relaxed and looked at the person involved.

“I will participate in the next game as well.”

***

“Auction starts in 1 hour.”

“Huh? I’m sure I’ll do it tomorrow.”

“Yes, a lot of time has passed.”

“…”

I asked the person in charge to notify me 1 hour before the auction starts.

It’s already now.

I had to give 3,000 chips in return for asking the officials to alert me.

It was a little expensive, but I asked for it just in case, and it was a good thing.

I never thought time would pass so quickly.

I once again felt afraid of gambling.

Because I was so busy, time flew by like this.

I guess I should correct my thoughts.

Even if I had an item in my hand that could check the time, there was no time to see it inside the casino.

Even though I earned quite a lot, I was sad to wake up.

I passed through the 3rd basement floor and headed straight to the 4th basement floor.

The huge auction house that took up the entire first floor was very dark as it sold dishonest items.

Only the floor marking the path was shining faintly.

Even in the darkness, masks were displayed at the entrance to the auction house.

There was a pamphlet on display containing information about the auction items being exhibited today.

Honestly, because of my size, I think I would get caught even if I wore a mask.

Still, I entered the auction house wearing a mask as prepared.

I didn’t forget the pamphlet either.

I sat down in the front and read the information about the auction items.

There were 15 auction items on display today.

When I looked closely, there was not a single normal auction item.

“Really?”

It was almost like a laugh.

Among those items, the auction item I was looking for was also written down.

Rasha.

Where the photo of the auction items would have been hung, there was a picture of her looking at the floor with her lips tightly pursed.

“Keuhm.”

The auctioneer in charge of conducting the auction stood on the stage of the auction house.

The auctioneer was testing the microphone and was fiddling with it, making a small sound.

And then the auction began in earnest.

“The first auction item is a USB belonging to an entertainment reporter. It is said that the article is full of private photos of celebrities that could not be included in the article.”

It was a product introduction that somehow felt a bit petty.

“The starting price will be 1,000 chips, and the auction price will increase by 1,000 each time you raise your hand.

Although it was a ridiculous auction item, it was definitely an auction item that anyone interested in celebrities would inevitably be attracted to.

Sure enough, as soon as the auction started, many people raised their hands.

“2,000, 3,000, 4,000, 5,000. Since it is popular, we will increase it by 3,000.”

Even though it became extremely popular and the number of units uploaded increased, people did not put their hands down for a long time.

Thanks to this, the auction price soared quickly.

“80,000, 81,000, is there more?”

The item for sale, which was priced at 1,000 chips, suddenly became more expensive, and was sold for a whopping 80,000 chips.

There are 80,000 USB chips that we don’t even know exactly what photos they contain.

Indeed, it was of special use.

The second auction item was a ticket to a broadcast program.

Of course, it was not an ordinary viewing ticket.

“This is the front row seat, and a famous actor will be sitting on the left, and a famous female idol group will be sitting on the right. As expected, the auction starts with 1,000 chips.”

This one was sold for a whopping 100,000 chips.

It was an amazing auction item.

After that, things like the stock holdings of famous stock investors.

Something like the right to develop a new menu for a chicken restaurant.

The moment I had been waiting for came after a few novel auction items came out.

“Ah, this is an auction item that was suddenly added yesterday.”

As soon as the host explained, several people, including me, looked around.

It was an action to keep an eye on competitors.

About 5 people.

“This product is active on the second basement floor. Rasha!”

Rasha appeared on the auction table wearing an eye-catching outfit.

The outfit, which must have been chosen or worn in order to be sold at a slightly higher price, emphasized her physical beauty to the fullest.

“Wow…”

“Huh…”

“Wheeik!”

Her appearance alone was enough to make whistles and voices of admiration for Rasha’s appearance spread throughout the quiet auction house.

I also slowly approached the front of the auction house, sat in the front row, and looked up at her.

I wanted to see it at least a little closer.

I thought Rasha might recognize me in the process.

The inside of the auction house is very dark, and all the lights are focused on Rasha.

Even though I was right in front of my eyes, Rasha didn’t notice me at all.

“Starting price: 100,000 chips! , the auction price increases by 50,000 units. Auction begins!”

Because the price was expected to be a bit expensive, right after the start, everyone looked at each other and no one raised their hand.

Except me.

As I raised my hand from the front seat, Rasha slowly looked down at me.

And little by little, my eyes grew bigger.

Then Rasha gritted her teeth.

Wow.

The sound of teeth clenching could be heard up to here.

I was just raising my hand with a gentle expression.

“150,000, 200,000, 250,000!”

I didn’t really care whether there was a competitor or not.

I kept my hands raised and my eyes fixed on Rasha.

I planned to live even if I had to go into debt.

Rasha was actually looking down at me as if she didn’t like it.

“What’s on my face?”

“Ugh…”

When I spoke calmly, Rasha twitched her lips as if she wanted to say something.

At an auction, you have to look good to sell for a high price, so I felt like I was trying to swallow the curse.

Without even realizing that that sight excites me even more.

“850,000! There are currently two bidders!”

At the auctioneer’s shout, the eyes of those watching the auction shifted back and forth between me and the woman.

In particular, it stayed on the women’s side for a long time.

“That girl, that’s her, right?”

“Ah… the anger on that slave’s face…”

“Last time I got burned-”

Horrible stories were exchanged.

As if Rasha had heard that story, her expression slowly hardened.

His eyes were shaking and his mouth was open as if he was surprised.

Feeling a little mischievous, I tried to put my hand down, but Rasha gave me a look.

It was a different expression from before.

I was desperate.

It was like the expression of an abandoned cat.

“Your expression is honest.”

I chuckled, and Rasha bit her lip.

“1.1 million, are there more? 1.1 million!”

As I kept raising my hand, it seemed like that side fell first.

I succeeded in purchasing Rasha at a price that I don’t know if it was expensive or cheap, so I immediately put out my card and paid.

“Now, sir, please take this.”

“What is this?”

“This is the button that will put the beast to sleep.”

I was handed a remote control with a small button by the auctioneer.

It appears that the choker around Rasha’s neck was not just a decoration.

When you press the ” button, electricity flows through the choker. ”

“Umm…”

I looked at the button and handed it back to the auctioneer.

“I don’t need it.”

“No, but…”

This auctioneer doesn’t know.

Who defeated Rasha and turned her into a slave?

I didn’t need anything like that.

These two hands were enough.

I smiled and motioned to Rasha.

Rasha, who had been staring at my hand for some reason, belatedly came to her senses in surprise.

Rasha approached with hesitant steps and stood next to me.

The choker was not removed.

Because it suited them well.

I picked her up and headed with Rasha to one of the most expensive rooms in the hotel we had booked in advance.

There was a dedicated elevator in the gambling hall, so her obscene clothes were never seen by anyone.

I wonder if Rasha is uncomfortable showing her outfit even to me.

He kept glancing in this direction or trying to increase the insufficient cloth area with his hands.

I reached out to Rasha.

“Shall we at least hold hands?”

“…I don’t like it.”

“If you don’t listen to me, you won’t get the money.”

The reason slaves could not resist buyers was not simply because of the choker around their neck.

Although the slave held the winning bid, only the buyer could give permission to use it.

This means that even if a slave buys just one drink of water, he or she needs permission from the buyer and master.

“I have to save my little brother, right?”

“…How did you do that…”

Rasha looked up at me with a surprised expression.

I held out my hand without saying a word.

“Catch it.”

“Ugh…”

Rasha hesitated and placed her hand on my palm.

For a hand that showed a bloody punch, it was small and cute.

When I naturally nodded, Rasha frowned and shrugged her shoulders.

Enjoying that reaction, I opened the door to the room I had reserved.
