The Bible begins with the following sentence:
‘In the beginning was the Word.’
Likewise, I can make a similar sentence about this world I came to.
‘In the beginning there was a language (programming language).’
“yo. this… one?”
And from my experience, the programmed rules digitized in ‘The Savior from Another World’ did not change.
The fact that there will always be one wizard at the academy, that [Mulcan’s Sword] can be lowered by giving it jewels, and that if you raise your affinity with Adrine above the condition, you will meet at the Small Weapons Field, etc., are all programs. content that has been
On the other hand, things about Ong and Hamma Crescendo were not coded, but included in the set book. And they now appear altered or modified.
After rechecking the system log of ‘Jung Yo-han’, I was convinced. That’s why the word fate is written on it.
therefore-
[As a person who was involved in the creation of this world, I can read or modify things that were destined.]
– The word can be interpreted as follows.
[As the developer of this game, you can read or modify the programmed things].
And I had important reasons for maintaining secrecy.
“Adrine.”
“yes.”
“You asked how I knew you were coming?”
“yes.”
“I’m sorry. I will not answer.”
I shrugged, and Adrine rolled her eyes. The attribute [Truth] does not activate against silence. To this, she seemed tempted to say, ‘Because it’s Hwangmyeong, answer me!’ If I hadn’t been the benefactor who saved herself and her teammates, she might not have been able to overcome the temptation.
Of course, that didn’t break Adrine’s stubbornness as it was.
“You said earlier that you were waiting to take me to the jewelry auction, right?”
“yes. It was.”
“like. Let me do that. But I will demand your answer in return.”
‘Shit.’
I gritted my teeth. All in all, what this character is given is a trait that is incompatible with mine.
Adrine is a character with clear actions. No matter how high the likability is, once the ‘condition’ is mentioned in her mouth, the condition cannot be modified.
“What are you going to do?”
Before answering, I looked at the writing in her system log. There was something written similar to what I saw during [First March].
[User Guide]
[Adrinne began to have strong questions about you.]
I think it was a ‘minor’ question when I saw it before.
As befits the title [Seeker of Truth], she has insight into unrealistic things happening around her.
And from her point of view, the existence of me would be unreal itself.
A person who came from another world, acquired Mulcan’s sword, uncovered the secrets of the clock tower, and even survived a confrontation with dragon soldiers.
“Adrine.”
“I am listening.”
“It is prepaid.”
That would have been the best answer I could give. Adrin opened her eyes wide and asked back.
“… Excuse me?”
“I heard you demanded my answer in exchange for help.”
“I did.”
“Please help first. before answering.”
A moment later, Adrine sighed.
“Once in a while… John speaks of distancing.”
“Is that so?”
“I just wanted to tell you the truth without hiding anything. Is that an unreasonable demand that requires such a firm answer?”
“It was Adrine who mentioned the cost first. If a price comes and goes between each other, that in itself is already a transaction.”
Adrine once closed her eyes. He had a somewhat angry expression. After a while, she opened her eyes and said.
“Huh, okay. Let’s do it, deal. So, what item does John want to buy at the auction house?”
“I want to go and talk to you.”
“… By any chance, do you have a jewelry collection wall?”
“Do you see that?”
I interrupted with a shrug.
She and I walked away in silence for a while.
She and I knew where to go.
We left the main gate of the academy without being checked. The reason why there is no separate checkpoint under the catchphrase of ‘To enter the empire, cross over our corpses’ explains that the war in this empire is not a war between humans.

Needless to say, the main enemies of the empire are the monsters of the eastern plains. And they all have a distinct appearance from humans, so at least there is no concept of being a spy or spy.
After leaving the main gate of the academy, we walked another 20 minutes. It was a street I had already walked with her. Even though it was still early, the streets of Frantimo were lively.
“You move early, people here.”
“It’s a commercial city, isn’t it?”
“Why is that?”
“Commerce is a profession that requires as much diligence as agriculture.”
“okay… . Then, the reason Archmage Ong gave me the Clock Tower as a gift must be that this is a commercial city.”
I did not fall for her obvious induction interrogation.
Instead of reciting information about Ong, he tilted his head and looked up at the sign. Next to Frantimo’s clock tower, the signboard of the building built on the gold hail land reads as follows.
‘For beauty that time cannot kill. Frantimo Jewelery Collection.’
The phrase on this signboard harmonizes with the majesty of the clock tower in a strange contrast. This was a famous jewelry auction held once a month in Frantimo.
Adrine looked closely at her and my outfit and said,
“Did you really think you would come dressed up?”
“What do you mean?”
“You’re young, but if you dress like this, you’ll be ignored.”
It didn’t matter.

No, it had to be this outfit.
The fastest way to unlock [Mulcan’s Sword], the event name [Frantimo Jewelry Collection].
Here, there is a follow-up event that can be connected only when the main character appears as a freshman at the academy.
‘Even though it’s after the auction.’
Upon entering the building, a chubby-looking man stuck out his face from a room decorated like an information desk.
“The entrance fee is 20 gold, little girl.”
“Then, is it 40 gold for two?”
“no. Male guests are 25 gold. The sum is 45 gold.”
I know that if you bargain here, the admission fee will drop by 40 gold, but I didn’t dare to open my mouth. After a while, Adrine won’t even think about 5 gold. When Adrinne took out 45 gold from her pocket and paid it, the man looked out the window and said.
“You came at just the right time. The first auction will be held in 5 minutes. Come on up.”
Adrine bowed and accepted the two catalogs he held out. Handing me one of the catalogs I received, I silently followed her as she went up.
Climbing one floor, a large auction house appeared.
In this place decorated like a theater, the best lighting technology of this era is being enjoyed. The faces of those seated in the seats were so dark that it was difficult to recognize them, and on the contrary, pin lights were falling on the display stand in the center of the stage.

Next to the display stand, a man in an elegant suit appeared, adjusting his hat.
“You waited a long time. Again, thank you to the distinguished guests who visited our Frantimo jewelry collection. The auction is starting soon, so the distinguished guests who will participate in the auction, please sit in the seats indicated in the catalog.”
Adrine and I bowed down and moved to our respective seats.
J-11 and J-12.
There were two seats left in the back row.
“Today’s auction items are numbers 001 to 012 in the catalog. There are 12 products in total. The products that appear in the back are more expensive, so please keep this in mind when attending the auction.”
Adrine, who was seated, was flipping through the catalog. It was like looking at the overall price range. And I, not interested in the catalog, looked around the audience.
People who come to the Frantimo jewelry collection do not necessarily come to buy jewelry. Some come just to see it. Attendees in my age or Adrine’s age are more likely to do that. And again, with a high probability, the probability of being a student at the academy is high.
“Then, the first product. Catalog number 001. These are mermaid tears.”
Therefore, this place also affects the [Grade Principal Election] held at the academy. Extravagance in this world is also a testament to nobility.
Drurrr-.
With the sound of the pulley turning, a display stand rose in the center of the stage. It was a display case with a glass case on it, and inside it was a jewel the size of a palm. And the lights installed in the Frantimo jewelry collection began to function.
“Oh oh… .”
A small exclamation of admiration came from the audience. The light falling on the display case was reflected on the surface of the jewel. The reflected light scattered like a blue hallucination and spread out into the air.
“this… The mermaid’s tears… .”
Every auction item listed here has its own story. And I wrote the whole story myself. That product that is being uploaded now is the legacy of a romantic count who called his third lover ‘mermaid’.
Then the man in the suit pointed to the mermaid’s tears and said.
“Some of you may know. This product is said to have been a gift from the rich man, Count of Africa, after parting ways with his third lover. When purchasing, we also provide an official verification certificate for this product.”
The Count of Afghanistan is a person who died 10 years ago.
There are many elements in his biography that luxury lovers will like, and most of them relate to his love history.
“Then, we will start the auction at 450 gold.”
“1,000 gold.”
The eyes of the people in the audience were drawn to the person who sang more than twice the quote. It was a voice that seemed to show off somewhere, to be heard. At the same time, it was a voice I knew.
You can tell even if you don’t see the face.
It was a jackal.
“Seat A-13. 1,000 gold came out. 1,000 gold. Is there anyone willing to charge a higher price?”
Adrin leaned slightly towards me and asked.
“How many items does John want to win?”
I answered. Then Adrine stared blankly at me for a moment. After taking a look around, she brought her ear closer to me and said.
“Please say again. I think I heard it wrong.”
“no. You must have heard me right.”
In the first place, no product here can be won without her. At the same time, I believe in the likability value that made me reunite with her in the small parade rather than the expression she is putting on now. This is a figure that allows you to go on a dating route with her if you want to.
And I believe in the promise she made to me.
I spoke again in a sharp voice.
“Here, please bid on all the products from the Frantimo Jewelry Collection, Adrine.”
