EP.53 Accompanying (3)
the next evening.
After a light meal, we went to the auction house.
This whole building was an auction house.
“Wow… It’s huge.”
Kim Chae-eun looked at the size of the large building and murmured.
A building that soared high as if it would pierce the sky.
She looked up blankly, and slowly looked at the splendid style of the building.
… I think I’m going to bump into someone passing by.

Just as expected.Another group of people trying to enter the auction house passed by her.
I lightly grabbed Kim Chae-eun’s shoulder and pulled it towards us.
“… uh?”
“You have to look ahead.”
“Ah, yes. thank you… .”

Jeong Seon-young looked at us like we were cute.“I can. When I first came, I was embarrassed because the auction house was too big for me.”
“You must have been to the auction house often.”
“then. Especially disaster monster hunters like me come more often. The auction house can get good things at a surprisingly cheap price if you aim well.”
If only a clan was involved, such equipment support would not be a problem.
In addition, Jeong Seon-young is an A-class holder.
I scratched my head and asked her.
“Senior, don’t you join the clan?”
“The clan is boring. It’s also tiring to see the holders who should focus on the runes still in politics.”
“You are constantly participating in disaster monster hunting.”
“Isn’t that something someone should do?”

Jeong Seon-young was a person with a strong holder philosophy.I will stand up for myself and protect the citizens!
It’s not like I’m full of this sense of justice, but…
He didn’t seem to have any regrets for the path and actions he had chosen.
He was a senior with a lot to learn as a holder.
“Please present your holder registration card and admission ticket.”
After entering the building.
Arrive at the simple interior entrance.
An employee in a suit said politely.
We handed over three tickets.

Jeong Seon-young and I, who hunted S-class disaster monsters together, had an additional ‘attack participation confirmation’ notarized by the association written on the ticket.“One general admission, two special admissions. Has confirmed. Welcome to Daegu Branch of Korea Holder Auction House.”
We went inside with the staff’s permission to enter.
Even after entering, Kim Chae-eun looked around.
“But it’s really interesting… ”
“what?”
“It was an auction house, so I thought it was just built like a stadium.”
“Puch- like that Colosseum?”
“yes! But the inside is just plain… Just like any other building.”

Jeong Seon-young looked at Kim Chae-eun cutely.“Don’t be too disappointed. The 4th and 5th floors, where the auction is held, are probably decorated like Chaeun said. The scale of the auction itself is so large that the entire second floor is being used as an auction site.”
Kim Chae-eun, her ardent follower, put her hands together.
“Then, can I do an auction with you?!”
“That, yes… If you are in a party, you can do it with up to 4 people.”
“Wow! thank god. I thought it had to be split apart.”
Due to its size, the Daegu auction house has various subdivisions by floor.
The first floor is the entrance and reception.
The 2nd and 3rd floors are directly selling items.
Holders can directly purchase various equipment and special items needed, and the variety is as wide as they are wide.
And the 4th and 5th floors are just as Seonyoung Jeong said.
The two floors were integrated into one to form an auction space.
So, the auction house is like a large auditorium or a large art hall, with seats for auction participants arranged in steps of height.
If you go higher upstairs, there are quite a few spaces for the convenience of holders, such as a receiving area, a rest area, and a restaurant.
A building with a total of 13 floors.
It was the size of a huge auction house.
It is said to be the second largest after the Seoul headquarters.
“I think our seat is over there.”
When I entered the 4th floor, I saw an endless array of chairs.
I pointed to the top seat among them.
It was a space that could seat about 4 people.
“It seems so. Let’s go over there and sit down.”
“Yes, sir.”
The seats inside the auction house were surprisingly neat.
Chairs and tables to sit comfortably.
Above it is a green buzzer and a microphone.
And there was a digital screen that would tell you the information of the item.
It was my first time visiting an auction house in my life, so I was just as curious as Kim Chae-eun.
“Fortunately, I don’t think it’s an auction with license plates.”
“When was that auction?”
The three of us sat down and chatted quietly.
Did 30 minutes pass like that?
Holders in various costumes began to fill the seats little by little, and soon most of the seats were filled and all the participants in the auction gathered.
And a person who appeared to be the auctioneer and a few staff members came to the hall to say hello.
-Holders who make Korea shine, it’s nice to meet you. My name is Hyunwoo Kim, who will be in charge of the 117th Holder Auction hosted by the Korea Holder Auction House. Before we get into the full-scale auction, I will briefly explain the process of this auction.
The host, who gave a light greeting, continued to speak by placing a material on the beam projector.
-This auction is conducted in an open competitive bidding method. Holders can participate in the auction through the buzzer and microphone in the seat, and you must bid a higher price than the current price for the item you wish to purchase. If the final price does not change until I, the facilitator, make three bids, the item will be bid at that final price.
After that, some explanations were made.
There is a minimum order price for items…
This will be different for each item…
Auctions are not interrupted for personal reasons… etc.
These were the universal and basic rules of auction.
After all the boring stories are over.
-Then, from now on, we will start the 117th holder auction organized by the holder auction house in Korea. This is the first auction item.
The host finally announced the start of the auction.
Soon, some employees carefully brought the item, and the item information of the first item appeared on the digital screen of the seat.

Gaeun Moon doubted her ears.
It was because he had heard strange words from his blunt friend.
“Have you already been hired?”
“You said An intern.”
“No, that’s it.”
The important thing is that Do Jae-hyeon stepped into ＜Judgment of Fire＞.
Whether it’s an intern or whatever, once you join the clan, you’ll get used to the system, and ＜Judgment of Fire＞, the top clan in Korea, is more attractive than other clans in every way.
Pressing down on a clan member who has stepped on it once.
It’s not even that big of a clan.
Ga-eun Moon looked at her friend who had planned this mysterious trick.
He was blunt every day and had a boring face in everything, but when it comes to important recruitment, the person is different.
Also, don’t be fooled by your innocent face.
“What a shy cat!”
“… What?”
“Where are you hitting a player like this? I’m sorry. Give the Royal a chance too!”
Kang Joo-yeon let out a small sigh.
“… Because I’m an intern. You can also hire them as interns.”
“Mr. Lee… How do you pick a kid who has already joined your clan as an intern? It will be at least a year.”
At that, he shook his head lightly.
“It’s not that long. Two months.”
“Two months?”
“yes. I will only do this vacation.”
Certainly, that is not the monopoly of ＜Judgment of Fire＞.
There was still a chance for ＜Royal＞.
I’m looking forward to my next vacation.
After two months, he was literally a temporary clan member.
However, Moon Ga-eun, who had been thinking deeply, tilted her head.
“But is there such a short internship period?”
“It’s the condition that he made. I have a few things to do while on vacation.”
Two months of internship.
＜Judgment of Fire＞, of course, is an unusually short internship in other clans.
Kang Joo-yeon accepted the condition.
I thought that Do Jae-hyun was an outstanding talent, and he is a holder with a lot of potential to grow more than now.
And as Moon Ga-eun expected.
Kang Joo-yeon was confident in recruiting Do Jae-hyun as an official clan member in that short period of time.
＜Judgment of Fire＞ is a clan with enough power to do so.
However, Moon Ga-eun’s expression, who had been listening quietly, became strange.
He looked like he was looking for something to tease about.
“That Saraham?”
“… … ?”
“What? You don’t call me Do Jae-hyun anymore, do you just call me that person?”
“… … .”
Kang Joo-yeon shut her mouth.
I made a little speech mistake.
No, should I say this by mistake?
Anyway, it didn’t matter.
Moon Ga-eun’s expression is already full of playfulness.
Moon Ga-eun’s attack with a face like that.
I couldn’t stop it in any way.
“The lead role. To be honest, I’ll understand. Did you really choose Jaehyun because of his talent?”
“… Then what is it?”
“No, it is. After graduating anyway, the clan members that you can hire are daringly chosen as two-month intern clan members. Don’t talk to me, my best friend, and hit a player! and you. When we meet these days, we only talk about Do Jae-hyun~”
“… … .”
It was the right thing to say.
However, Kang Joo-yeon did not want to admit it.
Admitting it is not the end.
It was clear he was going to keep joking around.
In this situation, silence was the answer.
However, Ga-eun Moon seems to never miss her prey.
He delivered the final blow with a gentle face.
“no way… Don’t you like Do Jae-hyun?”
“I will go.”
Kang Joo-yeon grabbed her bag and got up.
“oh. Wait a minute. Jooyeon, wait a minute.”
Moon Ga-eun quickly followed.
what’s so fast?
Although Kang Joo-yeon was a wizard, she was fast like an archer.
Kang Joo-yeon went out of the cafe all of a sudden.
Gaeun Moon quickly caught up with her and continued talking.
… Of course, it was an extension of the nonsense earlier.
“It’s because you haven’t been in a relationship with Joo-yeon. Originally, this feeling of liking… Do you just want to turn away, want to avoid, and have such a nature? That’s why Kang Joo-yeon didn’t want to admit it too. In fact, it is a more intense and hot feeling than anyone else. like that… What? Yes, the main character is like your fire rune. Hehe.”
drop.
Kang Joo-yeon was walking at a fast pace.
He stood tall in front of the cafe door.
‘Ugh. It was too bad.’
In the chilly air that flows around you.
Moon Ga-eun took a breath for a moment.
Excessive.
It was too overdone.
Kang Joo-yeon deserved to be angry because she slapped a dog in her ear almost as if she was rapping.
At the very least, I’m not going to add the last rune.
I have such regrets, but…
The words that came out of Kang Joo-yeon’s mouth, which had stopped.
It was a counter punch to hit Moon Ga-eun in the back of the head.
“You’ve never met a man.”
“… uh?”
In an instant, Moon Ga-eun’s face was dyed with embarrassment.
What did you hear now?
“Moon Ga-eun, you’ve never been in a relationship before.”
Ga-eun Moon gave advice as if she was an experienced person.
In fact, she had never been in a relationship.
There was no way that Kang Joo-yeon was unaware of Moon Ga-eun’s relationship with men, whom she had been close with since childhood.
Moon Ga-eun, who had been hit by an unexpected blow, said in a panic.
“Well, I know more than you!”
“why?”
Ga-eun Moon, who rolled her eyes for a moment, came up with an answer.
“De, I watch a lot of dramas… ? ah.”
And the moment you finished answering.
Her face was stained with embarrassment.
finished.
I gave the worst answer.
You know more about dating because you watch a lot of dramas.
What nonsense… .
It was an excuse that was too ugly to even think about.
Ga-eun Moon stopped, covering her face with her hands.
Embarrassed, I couldn’t follow my friend anymore.
‘… won.’
Kang Joo-yeon turned her back with a strange face.
There was a very small smile on her face.
Because of her blunt personality, she loses to Moon Ga-eun every time.
It seemed that today was his victory.
