| Numinous | Yoo Junghyuk x OC! ON AN INDEFINITE HIATUS

Auction 2

THIRD PERSON'S POINT OF VIEW

The auction house was one of the few places where it was possible to obtain items that were difficult to find on the Dokkaebi Bag or General Exchange. Liridona watched agape as they drew nearer. "This is good, they might have items here that we can use!" Yoo Junghyuk however did not respond.

Liridona gaze at what he's looking at, "Hey, I know you're infuriated but you must be patient." Junghyuk soughed and soften his gaze as they landed on Liridona's emerald doe eyes. "I can't enjoy my time here if you are so uptight every time." A complaint was laced at her tone of voice, The regressor nodded and crept his hands on the woman's midriff.

[The 8611th Constellation Auction will begin!]

[The first auction item!]

A senior dokkaebi stood at the podium of the auction. Several items were sold in an instant and Anna Croft purchased some of them. This agitated Yoo Junghyuk, but as he was about to make a hasty attack, Liridona's influence calm him. Han Sooyung saw this and smirked, The regressor is whipped for that girl huh? She thought to herself.

"Now, let's unleash our special move..." Liridona sweatdropped at the shorter girl's remarks, "Sounds like we're about to perpetrate a mortal sin... No?" The shorter girl pats the back of Liridona, "Oh! You're too pristine Liridona-ssi! We're gonna drain the money of that Prophet!" Liridona nodded in enlightenment.

"Now, we have a special product today!" Anna Croft turned at the voice that came from the stage. Selena Kim saw Anna Croft's reaction and asked, "What's wrong?" Liridona stared at the place where the prophet was standing and her companion beside her. "It's nothing." Anna Croft stared at the auction house with a stiff expression.

['Old to New Toad']

"Haha, isn't it cute? Since this item is a star relic..." Liridona look at the item, It began talking even!

-I'll give you a new house for an old house. "It knows how to talk. The auction product hasn't finished the appraisal yet but it is definitely of immense value―" The auction list had been confirmed through Future Sight. However, no such item had been seen anywhere in the short film of the future. There was the intervention of a variable that shook Future Sight.

Anna Croft glimpsed at the constellations of Olympus. Some constellations nodded as if to reassure her. She didn't hesitate to case the Great Demon's Eye towards the stage. The eye glowed with a red light. After a few moments, the hidden features of the Old to New Toad were seen in Anna Croft's retinas. "I have to buy that," Liridona observe them as her eyes glowed golden bright. "Anna?"

"Her-her eye is from a demonic species?" Junghyuk looks down at her, "Huh?" He questions the girl, "That prophet's eye is from a demonic species-" She can't finish words as the first prize is divulged. The moment the dokkaebi articulated, Anna Croft immediately made a bid. "600,000 coins."

[The first auction price is 500,000 coins!]

"600,000 coins have come out! The bidder... Incarnation Anna Croft!" It was a larger amount than she thought but the Old to New Toad was worth it. Liridona sighed and felt a dreadful feeling. She didn't realize the grip on Junghyuk's arm was getting more compressed. "Is something upsetting you?" Liridona sighed and shook her head.

+

「 This item has a legendary story The item eats 'old items' and replaces them with 'new items' of the same rating. 」

+

The feature itself was spartan. Eat old items and spit out other items of the same rating. The words were simple but the application was indefinite. "Contact the nebula and accumulate as many coins as possible." Anna Croft sat on her chair again, "Why this item..." Liridona continuously gaped at them. "With this, we can get the items we want at any time."

The other constellations and incarnation didn't seem to know the usage of this toad yet. Thus, she had a chance to win the bid right now. Liridona stared back at the item at hand, completely enamored at the object. "We had a similar item like this back home... It's called the wise sorceress hat, if you put broken things inside it gives you the newer version of the item..."

Junghyuk look down at the woman as she spoke, "Do you have it with you?" Liridona shook her head, "I left it... I was planning to take it with me but my compartment can't fit it anymore." The both of them listened back to the dokkaebi talking on the podium.

"The highest bid is currently 600,000 coins! If there isn't anymore..." At this moment, "700,000 coins." Someone made a bid. "Ohh! 700,000 coins have come out!" There was a light from the other side of the audience that showed a bid. A demon sword that seems to absorb the sunlight. "The bidder is Incarnation Yoo Jonghyuk!" Anna Croft's expression toughened at the call of the name, She look down and saw someone she has never seen before. 

It was a girl with dark red hair and a pale complexion. She shuddered once the girl look up at her position. Her other eye glowed a reddish color. But she wasn't able to see anything as if something is covering the girl itself, The emerald eyes of the girl she was examining glowed a golden bright color. Sealing off her eyes, She glared at her in an instant. Liridona, however, just smiled brightly at her and then look away soon after.
