The auction proceeded quickly.

Many auction items were sold at high prices.

Like the previous auction, there were some absurd items mixed in, but there were also rare items that could have been sold at real auctions.

Things like works by famous painters, rare gems, and secret bunkers.

Among them, there were some items that made me want to participate in the auction.

But I saved the chips just in case.

“The next auction item is a slave.”

It was Lana’s long-awaited auction turn.

When it was time for the auction, Lana slowly walked out from behind the stage.

A lot of lights were focused on her.

The dress sparkled in the light and the white skin that seemed to sparkle several times more was shining softly in the light.

The appearance was no different from the photo in the auction catalog.

No, the real thing looked much better.

“Lana…”

Rasha smiled faintly and looked up at Lana.

In fact, Lana didn’t seem to notice Rasha.

He just stood there with a slight frown, perhaps because the bright lights shining on him were annoying.

“We will start with 500,000 chips. Every time you raise your hand, we will raise the auction price by 100,000 chips.”

The auction began with the auctioneer proceeding.

Although the auction has begun.

No one raised their hand as if they had made a promise.

‘what?’

Although I was a little puzzled, I raised my hand.

“600,000.”

However, there was only a small murmur in the auction house and no one raised their hand.

I listened to the murmur, wondering why this was happening.

“Where is the director?”

“Ac, if it weren’t for that gangster, I would also bid.”

“Why doesn’t the building owner participate?”

aha.

I never thought there would come a moment when those three people would be helpful.

The three people seemed to have started their work even before the auction started.

Actually, it was strange.

Those three people asked for two weeks to buy Lana at a higher price?

‘You’re funny.’

On the contrary, I would have tried to buy Lana at a cheaper price during those two weeks.

This was the result of that effort.

An auction house full of people who were bought off through threats or coercion.

Of course, it seemed to me that there were people who lost their money too quickly and couldn’t buy it.

As I watched, I began to see a few people slowly raising their hands.

“700,000.”

“800,000.”

Honestly, it was boring.

I was running out of dopamine as I was fighting with tens of millions of chips going back and forth at a time and trying to make an auction that was going up little by little.

Only the raised arm hurt.

So I moved the baton.

“Do you want to listen?”

“Yes?”

“Show it to your younger sister, she said she came.”

“…”

Rasha looked down at her hands and nodded as if she had made up her mind.

And this time, he carefully raised his hand.

“Now, 900,000.”

The auctioneer looked at Rasha’s raised hand and raised the auction price.

Lana’s gaze turned this way and she looked at it with narrowed eyes for a moment.

Lana’s expression, which had been expressionless the whole time, changed for the first time.

My eyes widened and my mouth opened.

The corners of his mouth trembled and he spit out only two words.

“Sister…?”

“…Lana.”

Rasha called her younger brother’s name with a gentle smile.

Lana, whose name was called, had tears in her eyes.

Although it was too early to call it a perfect reunion, I could feel the deep emotions between the two people.

Of course, there was no need to see the results of the auction.

We successfully bid for Lana with 10 million chips, and were able to return to the hotel room with Lana.

I was fortunate that it was a spacious room.

***

Lana was sitting awkwardly on the sofa.

Even though it was a touching reunion, he looked at Rasha with a soft smile for a while, but sometimes he looked warily at me, who was sitting friendly next to Rasha.

Even though his expression was full of things he wanted to say, he didn’t ask me any questions.

Perhaps, regardless of his own uncomfortable feelings, he seemed to be holding back because he understood his and Rasha’s position well.

“…”

Still, he was glaring at me as if he couldn’t control the glaring look in his eyes.

“…Ugh…”

When their eyes met, Lana was startled and lowered her eyes.

A real cat came to mind.

It’s similar to Rasha.

At least I felt like I had organized the ranking properly.

Rasha was pouring out words as if she was so moved by this reunion.

“How have you been? Are there any injuries or inconveniences?”

“Yes, it’s okay…”

Lana was quietly nodding her head and listening to Rasha.

‘This is a bit unexpected.’

Lana seemed calmer and more perceptive than I thought.

I didn’t think he was the kind of person who would engage in fraudulent gambling.

And I was able to find the reason in the process of Rasha scolding Lana.

“You said before that you trust people too easily!”

“…Sorry, sister…”

‘…were you deceived by a man?’

That’s what I thought.

I wonder if the man approached Lana, a casino dealer, for fraudulent gambling from the beginning.

Rasha seemed to be thinking similarly.

Once Rasha’s nagging ended, Lana carefully opened her mouth.

“…is your sister okay?”

“What?”

“That…”

Lana’s eyes turned to me.

Following those gazes, Rasha’s gaze also turned towards me.

“Don’t worry, the owner is good to you.”

“Master…?”

When Rasha called me master as if it was only natural, Lana looked at me and Rasha in turn with a shocked expression.

That title is exactly what I ordered.

If I had known it would be like this, I wouldn’t have ordered it.

“Sister! are you okay? What happened?”

“Huh? No, it’s really okay…”

“Did nothing really happen?”

When Lana grabbed Rasha’s shoulder and shook her, Rasha laughed awkwardly.

I guess I can’t lie and say nothing happened.

Rasha just smiled awkwardly.

Then Lana rushed towards me.

“What have you done!”

He grabbed my collar with his slender arm.

Unlike Rasha, it was a movement that did not feel like strength at all.

For a moment, I remembered the time when Rasha grabbed the old man by the collar.

It looked similar.

“Lana! What are you doing!”

“Sister…?”

“Can’t you let it go quickly?”

As soon as she saw Lana grabbing me by the collar, Rasha yelled loudly.

Lana seemed shocked by Rasha, who scolded her for her behavior.

With trembling hands, I removed my hand from my collar.

I waved to Rasha that it was okay.

Grabbed by a beautiful woman?

Some people will even pay money to get it.

In the name of industry awards.

“…Master is our benefactor. Be careful.”

“…”

Lana didn’t answer.

I opened my mouth in a slightly cold atmosphere.

“It’s a special day. Should I buy something to eat?”

“…Yes. I’ll buy it.”

Rasha must have sensed that I spoke to lighten the mood and nodded.

As I watched Rasha get up from her seat, I spoke secretly to Lana.

“Then why don’t you go with Lana?”

While I was away, I thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to take the sisters shopping.

It seemed like it would be good for the two to get along well in order to relieve this cold atmosphere.

If you go shopping together and choose your favorite food, the mood will improve.

“…That’s it.”

Lana refused in a cold voice.

I thought you would definitely choose shopping with Rasha over being with me.

It was an unexpected answer.

“Okay, then I’ll come back.”

Rasha also looked at Lana for a moment, then after a short greeting, she went outside.

Lana and I watched the back of Rasha leaving, and as soon as the door closed, it became quiet.

The suffocating quiet atmosphere lasted for five minutes.

The silence was uncomfortable, so I spoke first.

“Are you okay?”

I asked because I was worried that there was a faintly cold atmosphere between them even though they were sisters.

It was my fault that the reunion, which should have been so touching, ended up like this, so it bothered me.

“…It’s okay. No need to worry.”

Lana smiled faintly and added another word.

“I fight with my sister often from the beginning.”

It is said that the affectionate appearance at the auction house was different from usual.

Even though I am an only child, I have heard of it.

It is said that sisters and brothers rarely get along well.

Due to special circumstances, these sisters also met for the first time in a long time, and their affectionate feelings just came out.

It is said that the sight of them arguing or their older sister scolding them is their normal everyday behavior.

If so, that was fortunate.

There is no need to worry about reconciliation.

Lana glanced this way and sighed.

“…Haa…”

“…Why?”

“Actually, you and your sister… did something?”

I felt like I knew roughly what something meant.

You’re probably talking about something dirty.

So I nodded lightly, and Lana also nodded slightly.

“It’s nice to be honest. He was a slave to begin with, but if he had said he didn’t even do that much, he would have been more suspicious.”

This time he asked me in a nervous voice.

“Did you finish it to the end?”

I shook my head to this question.

I didn’t finish it.

“Phew… That’s a good thing…”

Lana came next to me and sat down with her shoulders pressed close to each other.

whispered in my ear.

“Then join me from now on.”

“…What?”

“It’s dirty.”

Lana said with a calm expression.

“I will do it instead of you.”

Lana’s expression was serious as she said that.

I burst out laughing.

Rasha’s words and appearance overlapped with Lana.

The sisters also looked alike.
