The Phantom Thief Becomes an Auction Item (1)

Soo-ah and I headed back to the dormitory room at Ma-chan’s words to rest.

Because we couldn’t find ChuChu anywhere in Black Rose, I opened the door with worry and anxiety that we might have to stop the infiltration operation and inform the team members…

….

“I’m sorry… I didn’t know something like that would happen because of me… and I was just sleeping peacefully without knowing anything…”

“It’s okay, as long as you’re safe. I’ll contact Ma-chan.”

ChuChu, who woke up realizing we had arrived, kept apologizing, saying she was sorry.

How on earth did she get in…? More importantly, I was alone when I was opening a beer in the room.

Until I came out after showering… there was no sign of anyone else in the room besides me, and judging by ChuChu’s reaction, she wasn’t hiding either.

“It’s a relief you’re safe. It seems there was an error in the CCTV footage when you got off the elevator.”

“I’m sorry…”

“More importantly, where have you been all this time? You said you arrived before us.”

“Uh… well…”

There were many inexplicable parts. First, I asked where she had been.

According to Ma-chan’s testimony, ChuChu had already finished her work, came up, and took the elevator around the time the [Today’s Bunny Girl] judging was taking place at the No-touch Booth where Soo-ah and I were.

Even if the part where she got off the elevator was unnatural due to an error in the recording, Room 1903… the dormitory room where the infiltration team stays, is not that far away.

“I arrived on the 19th floor, got off, reached the dormitory room… showered, and slept.”

“…Is that really all?”

“Yes…”

“….”

“….”

Soo-ah and I exchanged glances.

Right… it’s strange. It doesn’t make any sense.

Worried that ChuChu might have already been caught on camera and brainwashed, I asked Soo-ah for a cure, but even after Soo-ah’s talisman touched ChuChu, there was no sign of any improvement.

“It’s not a curse or a 『status』. It’s not a lie either… ChuChu’s words are all true, Seri.”

“…Soo-ah, please check if ChuChu’s body has a similar mark to the Brand on me.”

Since both of them are Magical Girls, if there were any traces of other magical power, they would have found it, and it wouldn’t be a dead-end, maze-like situation like this.

In that case, Klaus Seven Stars… we should worry about the possibility that an 『Onmyoji』 or a 『Knight』 might have contacted ChuChu.

The 『Brand of the Devil』 imprinted on my lower abdomen was created by a Halo, who is on the same level as the Seven Stars who visited Black Rose, so even if it wasn’t Guld, other Seven Stars might have similar abilities.

ChuChu also agreed with my opinion and didn’t resist, and Soo-ah nodded and approached ChuChu.

Sreureuk-Seureuk..

“…Seri.”

“What’s wrong? Is there a Brand on her back?”

“No, ChuChu is clean. She’s like a blank slate.”

Oh, that’s a relief… a relief.

Honestly, what’s on my lower abdomen is something I can’t show to others…

“Why are you turned away?”

“Huh, huh?”

“We’re both girls.”

There’s that, and also the possibility that ChuChu might be embarrassed, but… you know. I can’t say it, but I’m a man. A man…

Right now, I have a body with breasts that are perfect for touching… but I can’t just openly look, let alone secretly.

I don’t have the courage to “man-out” like Mera… I chose to quietly blend in, but there are still certain proprieties I must observe.

ChuChu might just let it slide, but the other person is Soo-ah, the curiosity monster… Even if I answer properly, she’ll definitely keep prying.

“Th-that aside, Soo-ah! You’re going to a different booth tomorrow, right?!”

“….? I plan to. I’m going to look for an 『Onmyoji』. But Seri, why were you turned away─”

“Alright! It’s late, so let’s all go to sleep! ChuChu, you’re tired too, aren’t you?”

“Uh… yes, everyone must be tired because of me… I think it’s best if everyone gets some good rest before work…”

Phew… I barely got away with that.

After the brief disappearance incident ended, it was finally a night where we could rest.

Tomorrow… we’re going to a more dangerous booth than today, so let’s get some good rest.

There were three rebels in the No-touch Booth, and it might take a while to find them in other booths… but it might not always be the case.

Among the bunny girls working at Black Rose, there are humans, but most are Demon of Lust or Beastkin monsters. Since all the human women in the No-touch Booth were rebels, it wouldn’t be much different elsewhere.

The task at the Auction booth where I’ll be working tomorrow is to search for rebels and… to be auctioned off to a Noble. Especially, the more frequently a Noble visits Black Rose, the better.

In the basement of Black Rose, there are even private rooms for VIP Nobles, so if I’m lucky enough to be auctioned off to a monster knowledgeable about this place, I might be able to figure out the women’s locations while pretending to offer my body.

‘…I miss Miwol…’

I wonder if she’s doing well… Our adorable junior who always called me “sunbae” and tried not to be separated from me even a little.

I’m a bit worried about her hanging out with Hyun-ah, but… since Mera and Ciel are also there, she probably won’t be lonely.

Come to think of it, Mera was a man too… She certainly didn’t look like it… Well, I guess it’s the same for me if others look at me.

“Haa…”

“Seri? Were you very tired?”

“Ah, it’s nothing…”

I… shouldn’t say anything.

Mera seemed to have only told me… there’s no reason to go around blabbing about it.

If it were right after I became a woman, maybe. But too many things have happened to reveal the truth now… I’ll have to take it to my grave.

……..

The next day.

“Soo-ah, do you see Ciel’s magical power traces?”

“Yes, all the women here are rebels.”

Amazing.

There are about twenty human women… If they’re all rebels, that makes twenty-three. Seven more to go.

“Haa-eung… Joo-in-nim…”

“Here, the Breast Milk Beer has arrived… Please enjoy it… Heueut?!”

“Miss ■■ ■■ has been successfully bid on! Everyone, please congratulate her with a round of applause~!”

….This place is beyond imagination.

As if releasing the sexual desires suppressed in the No-touch Booth, there was nowhere to look without seeing something.

Unlike the small, circular stage where one person could stand at a private table, from bunny girls who voluntarily acted as onaholes for guests while fawning over them, to those who were thrusting their hips without even entering a room… they absolutely did not look like people Ciel had recruited.

Are they being brainwashed…? If Soo-ah doesn’t attach talismans to each of them, it might become quite troublesome.

“Ugh…”

“Seri, are you okay?”

“I’m a little dizzy, but… I’m fine. Soo-ah, are you alright?”

Ma-chan said something like that. That because I, who was chosen as [Today’s Bunny Girl] yesterday, and Soo-ah, who was second, chose to move booths immediately, there would probably be more people than usual.

“Yes, don’t worry, I won’t get drunk.”

…She said alcohol is also treated as a poison, so it gets detoxified.

Unlike the No-touch Booth, which at least had a sweet fruity scent, a sharp alcoholic scent, strong enough to get you drunk with just one sip, stung my nose.

Ma-chan said that what monsters drink has a completely different alcohol content than what humans drink… It’s no joke. Just smelling it makes my head spin…

My body feels like it’s heating up too… Is this more potent than the diluted miasma that was spread in the air at the No-touch Booth?

“From now on, I might be auctioned off… Soo-ah, will you be okay?”

“What?”

“Not ‘what’… I mean, with a stranger… mixing bodies.”

“You don’t have to worry.”

“Even if I’m successfully bid on, I won’t be taken.”

Uh… I don’t know what method she has, but seeing her speak so confidently, she must have a plan.

Anyway, as Soo-ah, who came in second, and I, who was chosen as [Today’s Bunny Girl] yesterday, began serving, sticky gazes were felt from all directions.

The pot-bellied ones, the scrawny monsters, and the ones blowing on bottles and completely drunk, they’re all Nobles, right…? Among them, I have to be auctioned off to someone who knows Black Rose inside and out…

Yeah, I can’t find them. There’s no way to find them.

It’s not like the number of times they’ve had sex appears above their heads, and unless they’re sex-crazed, they wouldn’t frequent a red-light district, even if it’s elegantly packaged.

Am I destined to just pay with my body…? Let’s think of it as extending the 『Blessing of Eternity』 payment due date. It would be troublesome if 『Semen Conversion』 activated on its own again and shortened the duration─

“Hey, you.”

“Y-yes…”

『Corruption Desire LV4 activates』

Right after I made that resolve. As I put down the beer glass I had served, a burly monster called my name.

Was it because a male was right in front of me? My womb vibrated, buzzing, demanding semen milk. I looked at Soo-ah to ask for help, but Soo-ah was already approaching a handsome man in a martial arts uniform far away.

“So it’s you? The bunny girl who ran off yesterday without saying a word of her impressions.”

“Y-yes… that’s right… Ah…!”

“I was curious what your face looked like~ Your nipple color is pretty too.”

The monster, who had been staring at my face, then slightly pulled down my leotard and gently pinched my crimson nipple.

『Breast Milk Dispenser activates.』

『Your breasts, regardless of your will, are ready to be milked at any time if others desire it. If body fluid is insufficient, magical power will be converted.』

“Huu… Heueueueu…”

I-I’m saved…

Thanks to the monster not knowing my secret, even when he tickled, pinched, and pulled my nipples, no breast milk leaked out.

Yesterday, when I pressed and squeezed my side breast, I didn’t hear the skill activation voice… Is it because I wanted it…? Ah….

No… Stop, stop rubbing them…

If I think I want to be squeezed… I shouldn’t, but…!

“Guest-nim…”

“Huu… 【Auction Registration】”

Tak!

“Hwaat?!”

He flicked my nipple, which had become sharply erect from the torment, and as the monster shouted “Register,” my face appeared on the electronic display boards throughout the booth.

[Lee Seri (Alias)]

[BWH:89-57-87]

[Nomination Count: 0]

[Usage Time: 3 hours]

[Auction Starting Price: ■,■■■,■■■ Won]

[Host’s Additional Options]

[If the Host who nominated the bunny girl successfully bids on her, they can use the following options without paying extra.]

[Choking, Mating Press, Irrumatio, Kiss Marking]

─Waaahhhhhhh!!!!!

Inside the booth, filled with cheers, the monsters, for my monumental first nomination, shouted prices higher than the starting bid.

The unit had already reached ten million, but the monster who hosted the auction smiled as if it were trivial.

“I’m definitely going to fuck you, you fucking bitch.”

This… I think I’m really fucked.
