Doubt arose on the host’s face.

In fact.

Not only the host, but also the expressions of the searchers and merchants sitting in the auction seats were similar.

A face that couldn’t understand at all.

“…”

The auction house was filled with silence.

The host, on the one hand, thought it was fortunate. Because the angry auctioneers had quieted down.

Still, he couldn’t figure out why that Barbaroi suddenly made such a strange choice.

‘Tsk.’

The host clicked his tongue inwardly.

There were many searchers among the auctioneer roster, and Sca, who is famous in the labyrinth city these days, was written down, so he brought up the story to liven up the atmosphere.

He must have gotten too cocky and made an absurd choice.

‘Perhaps it’s a lack of information.’

Since it’s his first time at the auction house, it’s hard to know exactly what is valuable among the auction items.

He couldn’t sell the Tears of the Abyss in this state.

Later, that Barbaroi might grab him by the collar, full of anger.

‘I have to finish quickly.’

The reason why the people in this auction house are here is obvious.

The Greatsword of Brute Force.

It was because of the greatsword, also known as the muscle sword.

According to the Tower of Magic’s appraisal.

It was said that the person holding that greatsword could exert nearly twice the power without consuming any magic power.

A simple greatsword without complicated conditions or magic power consumption.

There was another reason why this greatsword was famous.

‘Armor destruction.’

It has an ability similar to the siege destroyer engraving of Rex, famous in the upper ranks of the intermediate class.

This also does not consume any magic power.

In fact, it has two permanent magic infusions.

This was also the reason why there were so many frontline combatants in the auction hall.

It was also the reason why there was such a strong reaction when the Tears of the Abyss came out.

The host carefully opened his mouth. In any case, he decided that he had to explain it to the Barbaroi who was insensitive to the ways of the world.

“Mr. Sca, wouldn’t you like to reconsider?”

“I’ll buy it.”

“Hmm.”

It is popular as an accessory.

Because it was a black crystal that shone beautifully in the form of tears.

Should I explain a little more?

The host tried to persuade him again.

“Mr. Sca, I hate to admit it, but it’s not a very good item. The Tears of the Abyss is a rare magical tool, but it’s not a very good item.”

The Barbaroi crossed his arms as if to say, tell me more.

“Ahem! Strictly speaking, the Tears of the Abyss is a synthetic magical tool. The operating principle is simple. If you pour magic power into the Tears of the Abyss to the end, it will become synthesizable. However, only your own magic power is possible. If another person’s magic power enters in the middle, the wavelength is different, so you have to start over from the beginning. The magic power of a magic stone is also not allowed.”

Moreover.

That Tears of the Abyss is a rare magical tool, so the amount of magic power it consumes is no joke. Even an elder of a decent magic tower would have to focus and pour magic power into it for 5 years to barely be able to ‘bloom’.

The host watched Barbaroi’s expression.

Was he mistaken?

Barbaroi’s smile was a little deeper.

“Buy it.”

A simple answer.

The host opened his mouth wide, speechless.

He’d heard the rumors.

That he often commits acts whose intentions are unknown.

It may be true that the madness he gained in the labyrinth has crept into his bone marrow.

‘It can’t be that bad. He might be trying to give it as a gift to a woman. Because it’s a pretty-looking gem.’

The host wanted this time to pass quickly.

Smiles began to form on people’s faces. Mostly outside merchants who didn’t know Barbaroi well.

If only a little more time passed like this, something might happen.

“Ah, I understand! Th, then I’ll sell it for 5 gold coins!”

Barbaroi grinned.

“Okay.”

The people sitting in the auction seats began to murmur.

“Could it be that it has a unique ability that we don’t know about?”

“No. It’s a magical tool that the Tower of Magic has already finished interpreting a long time ago. I think it’s just because of his competitive spirit.”

“Hmm. Strange.”

“He might just be trying to give it as a gift to a woman.”

The searchers exchanged their opinions in whispers.

The host took out the Greatsword of Brute Force for the last time.

“Now!!! Next up!!! The item you’ve all been waiting for has arrived!!! It’s the Greatsword of Brute Force!!!”

People’s heads turned in an instant.

It quickly exceeded 100 gold coins and went up to 200 gold coins.

The man who won the fierce price war was a merchant from the Lionel Kingdom.

“Hehehe! I’m lucky this spring!”

The merchant smiled brightly.

The searchers grumbled with annoyed faces.

“That kind of thing should be used in the labyrinth…”

“That’s why you shouldn’t come to the auction house in the spring. The price skyrockets. All sorts of people stick to it, so it’s overpriced.”

The auction ended.

Jung Yushin and the middle-aged Sca left the auction house, went to the reception desk, paid the money, and received the Tears of the Abyss.

The black teardrop-shaped jewel sparkled beautifully.

He got a better item than originally planned.

“We need to check it.”

The middle-aged Sca held the black gem and closed his eyes for a moment.

“Hmm. It’s your turn.”

Jung Yushin received the gem and poured magic power into it.

He felt the same wavelength of magic power.

Whooooooooong.

The abyssal gem naturally accepted Jung Yushin’s magic power.

A smile appeared on Jung Yushin’s face.

“It works?”

“Of course. We’re the same ‘Sca’.”

No matter how he thought about it, it was a profit.

If Sca took turns pouring magic power into it, the Tears of the Abyss would bloom quickly.

He also took the wizard’s tears, given by Grandpa Raguna, which increases magic power when leveling up.

Increased damage proportional to magic power.

The high point will be much higher later than the damage increase given by the Greatsword of Brute Force right now.

“We can charge that ugly guy with magic power.”

“Hehehe.”

The middle-aged Sca rarely burst into laughter.

Not a courtesy smile.

A truly joyful laugh.

“…”

Jung Yushin stared blankly at the middle-aged Sca.

“Sorry. He may look a little fierce, but objectively he’s a pretty decent face, right?”

“Isn’t he the ugliest guy among ‘us’?”

“It’s just that the atmosphere is dark and his eyes are a little fiercer.”

“I can hear everything.”

Turning around at the voice coming from behind, the ugly guy was standing there.

Judging from his pale face and dark circles under his eyes, he must have stayed up all night at the magic tower branch.

The robe-wearing Sca slowly approached with his hands behind his back and looked at Jung Yushin’s hand.

“Tears of the Abyss? What is it? Is it a gift for me?”

“No.”

At Jung Yushin’s reply, the robe-wearing guy made a blank face.

“Then?”

“I bought it to use. Good. Charge this.”

The robe-wearing guy’s face turned sour.

“I just came from working in a cubicle.”

“You’re charging it at the same time. Don’t think of it as work, think of it as playing with a toy.”

“That’s absurd. Isn’t it impossible to ‘bloom’ with a normal amount of magic power? Are you saying this easily? Is this right?”

“The second one, help him out.”

The middle-aged Sca said with a smile.

The robe-wearing guy widened his eyes.

“Suddenly the second one? What are you talking about?”

“We decided to explain to people who don’t know the details that we are family. I’m the first. Also, think of a name to use in this city.”

The guy scratched his head.

“Then what about the third one?”

“It’ll be the wolf beastman guy or the TS guy.”

“What about the rat guy? Is he the youngest?”

The middle-aged Sca looked at Jung Yushin.

“The youngest is here.”

“Hehehe.”

The robe-wearing guy looked at Jung Yushin and chuckled.

“Really? Okay. Our youngest wants to make a good weapon, so this older brother will help.”

Jung Yushin, who was suddenly treated as the youngest, frowned.

“Just take it and draw out the magic power. Think of it as donating blood.”

“Look at the way you talk. Is that how you treat your older brother? Your parents’ education is completely…”

The robe-wearing guy stopped talking.

“Suddenly self-inflicted family slander, what’s up with that?”

“Come to think of it. I’ve been a little out of it lately, so please understand, handsome Sca.”

“Hahahaha!!!”

Suddenly, the middle-aged Sca burst into laughter for no reason.

The robe-wearing guy looked at the middle-aged Sca and clicked his tongue.

“Tsk tsk. Our first older brother also has madness.”

“…”

The robe-wearing guy stared at the middle-aged Sca for a moment and turned his head.

“Handsome guy, you bought something at the auction house. Where are you going next?”

“Are you going too? Don’t you have work?”

“The magic tower elders are all passed out. Just me doing all the work? Absolutely not.”

“I’m going to the blacksmith street. I’m going to order new equipment.”

The robe-wearing guy grinned.

“Shall we go for a walk together? I should see what kind of equipment our youngest wants.”

“As you wish. But there’s somewhere to go first.”

“Where?”

“I have to meet my friend.”

The three stopped by a street vendor, bought candy, put it in their mouths, and headed to the blacksmith street.

* * *

Boron, who was sitting at the blacksmith’s counter, jumped up in surprise.

“What?!”

Because three Barbaroi suddenly appeared before his eyes.

The middle-aged man with a graceful atmosphere had a handsome face that had made quite a few married women cry.

The guy wearing a robe was no less handsome, but his eyes were red and he exuded an intimidating atmosphere.

Finally, a familiar face.

Sca was standing there.

“Boron, I came to commission equipment production.”

“Uh, uh.”

Boron couldn’t speak properly.

Because there were two unusual people next to Sca, it was difficult to treat him informally as before.

The robe-wearing guy slowly approached with candy in his mouth.

“Dwarf, did our youngest cause you a lot of trouble? Why are you trembling so much?”

“Ah, no!”

“If not, then never mind.”

“Second, be moderate.”

The robe-wearing guy smiled and stepped back.

“Yes, brother.”

Jung Yushin was speechless and stared blankly at the middle-aged Sca and the robe-wearing guy.

They seemed to be completely immersed in playing brothers.

Well.

He understands. He was an only child. He sometimes thought it would be nice to have siblings.

Creak.

The blacksmith’s door opened and Einhofer walked out.

“Hmm…?”

Einhofer silently looked at the ‘Sca’ and then looked at Jung Yushin.

“Sca, are they your brothers?”

“Similar.”

Einhofer approached the robe-wearing guy and extended his hand.

“I see. Nice to meet you.”

The robe-wearing guy stared at Einhofer’s hand for a moment and then grabbed it.

“I’m the second.”

“I see.”

“Your hand is shaking, are you afraid of me?”

“No. You’re Sca’s brother, there’s no reason for me to be afraid. You have a tremor engraving and a stamina reduction engraving.”

The robe-wearing guy stepped back with a bored face.

The middle-aged Sca approached and grabbed Einhofer’s hand.

“Our handsome youngest has been a lot of trouble.”

Einhofer smiled gently.

“Don’t say that. I survived thanks to Sca.”

The robe-wearing guy suddenly turned his gaze elsewhere as if he was uncomfortable.

Einhofer looked at Jung Yushin again.

“Sca, did you come to make armor? I’m embarrassed to say this, but wouldn’t it be better to go to the western underground workshop to make equipment?”

“Hey! My disciple is talking nonsense! Sca, my disciple goes to the Damesek workshop to learn how to work sometimes! His skills are definitely not inferior!”

Boron, who smelled money, quickly regained his senses and intervened.

Jung Yushin smiled brightly.

“Really?! That’s great! As expected, Einhofer!”

Einhofer quietly shook his head.

“I’m still learning, so I’m lacking.”

The middle-aged Sca stepped in.

“If it’s a friend that the youngest is proud of, I can trust him. I’ll commission the production here without going far.”

“Good.”

Jung Yushin, the middle-aged Sca, and Einhofer gathered together and talked in detail about the equipment.

Mostly the same half plate as before. Instead, they decided to construct each part with high-quality materials.

“It’ll cost at least 50 gold coins. It seems like we’ll have to get some of the equipment materials from the auction house.”

“Since you’ll have to use it until the upper ranks of the intermediate class, you’ll have to spend at least this much. Don’t worry too much about the materials. I’ll get them no matter what. If we have a little more money, I’d like to get a magic infusion too. What do you think, youngest?”

“I’ll follow your will, brother.”

Jung Yushin replied immediately to the middle-aged Sca’s question.

50 gold coins.

It was an expenditure that made his stomach ache, but he decided to trust the first one’s insight.

Boron, who had been watching anxiously, smiled brightly and raised both arms.

“Hehehe. Sca! Thank you!”

The robe-wearing guy turned his body quickly.

“Then it’s over. Let’s go.”

Jung Yushin looked at the robe-wearing guy’s back, who had left first, and turned his head to look at Einhofer.

“I’ll stop by often.”

Einhofer nodded.

“Sca, I’ll be working at the Damesek workshop, so if you want to add any equipment, come find me.”

“Yes.”

After finishing his greetings, Jung Yushin left the blacksmith shop with the middle-aged Sca.

“You guys seemed very close.”

The robe-wearing guy said suddenly after walking in silence for a while.

“That’s right. He’s the person who helped me control my madness.”

The ‘Sca’ stared at Jung Yushin in silence.

Faces that wanted to hear the story.

Jung Yushin slowly opened his mouth and told them about the trash party incident.

And the first murder and the stabbing in the eastern district.

“That dwarf helped you suppress your ‘madness’?”

“At least he made me get a grip on my mind.”

To Jung Yushin’s indifferent reply.

The robe-wearing guy glared at Jung Yushin with a strange expression that was hard to tell whether he was angry or annoyed.

‘Suddenly a staring contest, what’s up with that.’

The robe-wearing guy, who had been staring for a long time, opened his mouth.

“You said you need materials to make equipment? I’ll go to the auction house and get them for you.”

“You don’t have money, do you?”

“I can earn money.”

“Einhofer is my friend. Don’t treat him carelessly.”

The second one nodded obediently.

“Okay.”

‘Something’s wrong.’

Jung Yushin tilted his head for a moment and looked at the robe-wearing guy.

“Do you have some kind of dwarf lover engraving?”

“No, I don’t!”

“If you don’t, just say you don’t. Why are you getting so angry?”

“Ugh! I’m going back to the magic tower branch!”

The robe-wearing guy shook his head and turned his body.

“Come over for dinner often.”

The guy stopped in place for a moment, waved his hand, and walked again.

‘There’s something there.’

Jung Yushin sensed it while looking at the second guy’s back.

That there was something hidden from another version of himself.

No.

‘A wound?’

Perhaps.

Perhaps there are hidden wounds for the other Scas who were transferred to this world.

Jung Yushin stared blankly at the first one’s face.

The middle-aged Sca gave a bitter smile.

“Youngest, let’s get to know each other slowly.”

“Let’s do that.”

Come to think of it.

What kind of past does the busty Sca have?

* * *

Same time.

Eastern District.

All the women were gathered at Vivian’s shop.

The TS Sca was no exception. She was sitting in the middle of the round table with a flushed face.

On the wide table.

Dozens of embarrassing clothes were laid out.

Is that all?

Adult products that she had no idea where to use were also placed.

‘Wh, what on earth is going on?!’

She enjoyed shopping and stopped by Vivian’s shop in the eastern district to rest for a while.

Then.

Suddenly, Cyan cleared her throat with a red face and took out a small bag and poured something out.

“These are the ‘things’ I received from the outer god Eros when I was transferred to another world with Sca.”

Karin’s eyes twinkled as she touched this and that, then she picked up the cow tail butt plug and sniffed her nose.

“Ew?! What is this? Sca? Do you know what this is?”

The busty Sca’s face turned bright red.

“Ah… th, that’s.”

“Sniff sniff. I smell a faint scent of Cyan?”

Cyan’s face flushed.

“K, Karin! St, stop!”

“What do I use this for?”

Karin tilted her head while holding the trembling slime tail.

Mion and Vivian blushed as if they had guessed something.

The TS Sca looked around at the women sitting around the round table.

“Wh, why did you call me?!”

Mion glanced at the TS Sca with a reddened face.

“Um. I’m curious. Wh, what is Sca’s sexual preference? Pl, please tell me honestly.”

The women blushed and glanced at the TS Sca with twinkling eyes.

A drop of sweat flowed down from the TS Sca’s heavy underboob.

“Ah… that? Ah… um. How should I explain this? Ahahaha!”

The TS Sca screamed inwardly.

‘I don’t know anything?!’
