Duke, Please Repent! chapter 235
43. The Duke and the Demon of Darkness (10)
The morning of the last day in the dark was bright.
It was late in the evening when the auction took place, but when I woke up, Eugene was already out.
In order to prevent encountering the demons in the narrow secret passage, Hung’s affair was placed on the side of the hidden entrance early.
He must have gone to sow a spirit in the ground.
And I’ll be hiding right at the gate.
“How was your meal?”
“I thought the words would come out.”
For some reason, Serpens had a triumphant expression on his face and threw something at me.
I lowered my head and checked the thing on my knee. A very familiar looking leather pocket.
I quickly patted my chest. There was nothing that had to be.
I was told that my arms were free to move, but the zipper of my sleeping bag went down to just below my navel.
So… before Eugenes left, you brought a lunch box for the day, so you asked him to praise him?”
It was just after waking up, but the Serpence behavioral analysis circuit worked perfectly.
The tip of his chin went up about L5 degrees.
– Tuk.
Then, I heard something falling.
Winston was looking at us with surprised eyes, holding a gigantic sword that gave off blue skies.
Was he brushing his sword and controlling his mind to prepare for today’s battle?
A hollow scabbard lay next to him as he sat on the bed, and a piece of cloth fell at his feet.
The sound I heard earlier was probably the sound of falling.
“Are you still not awake?
If it were, it would be time for the sun to rise in the middle of the sky.
Serpense, who had proven by action that my interpretation was perfect, said with a smirk.
At his words, I hurriedly checked the pocket watch I had thrown on my bedside.
It really is already time for lunch.
“Did I become so lazy?”
I couldn’t believe it.
He took a nap and didn’t go to bed late, even though he took a nap, he took a meal and sent him off.
In the end, that record was only broken.
You’re the only one who hasn’t washed here. I’m going to take a look around Amhok-ga before the auction opens, so please wash up and come.
As I was staring blankly at the clock hands in despair, Serpens sounded like a parent bringing their children to school.
“Uh me too?”
Yeah. After the patrol is over, I’m going straight to the auction house.
There’s plenty of time until the evening, so if Serpence goes back and forth alone
It would be a room.
It seems uneasy to come out and leave Winston alone in a place like this.
“Ugh, if that’s the case, there’s nothing I can do about it.”
I took off my half-draped sleeping bag completely, got up from my seat, and sat back down.
“Why are you sitting down again?”
“I’m going to go brush my teeth after eating anyway, but I’m going to do it all at once.”
Because I’m basically an efficient person.
He wrinkled one of his eyebrows at my sarcastic remarks.
If it weren’t for Winston, he must have sarcasticly said that he was misrepresenting someone who was a little more efficient.
This means one thing.
The guy had been hanging out with each other for over two weeks, and he was still keeping a distance from Winston.

Before I left the pawnshop, I missed something
Again, I checked carefully to make sure there was no such thing.
Not only the bed, but also my toiletries in the bathroom, I swept them all into my pocket.
‘I will never come back here again ?’
There were still unfinished homework assignments, but I also built up my own memories.
Thinking about it that way made me feel sad.
But what to do? It is right that the city of these criminals disappears.
Next time it will be properly equipped
I left the pawnshop, promising that I would enjoy a perfect vacation there.
As Serpence said, I thought there would be loud fights here and there on the street, but it was quieter than I thought.
Some covered themselves and avoided their gaze, while others rolled their eyes like an animal looking for prey.
It is like the eve of a storm as they walk around cautiously, guarding each other.
It’s probably because of the thing that’s going up for auction today.
Serpens leaned close to me and spoke briefly.
A sacred stone is an item that does not have an upper limit.
This means that many people must have brought a huge amount of money or goods to buy it, and this means that the atmosphere is temporarily formed.
There were some who looked like they were looking at us, but they gave up and moved to look for a new prey.
It’s thanks to the two people who are escorting me like crazy on either side of me.
We go round the dark streets
He was not involved in any incident.
I don’t have any helpful information… it’s completely nonsense.
The people who picked it up said it was only a story about the struggle for supremacy of the dark family.
They say they are playing a game of noticing who and who is located and what business they have.
My eldest brother died in a battle yesterday, so what do you think we should do now?
That idiot still makes power
I didn’t, how about going under it?
Arthur, if you go under him, the door of suffering will open wide.
Etc.
‘Anyway, today, everyone would be nothing but pieces of tissue paper .’
I just wasted my time.
I expressed the opinion that it would be better to go to the auction house in advance in this case, and I responded to whether Serpens had similar thoughts.
Without delay, we headed straight to the auction house.
Unlike last year’s reckless attack, today I entered as an official guest.
Yes, the ticket is here. Then we will guide you to your seat.”
When Serpence handed over the ticket that he had cut in advance, the employee who had checked it returned it and said:
Why is that person so respectful to mere pieces of paper?
Serpens, who got the ticket back, whispered in my ear that he had seen all the strange people.
There was a sense of urgency in that voice.
Just think of it as a grievance for a service job.
It must be difficult.
Although there was still quite a bit of time before the auction started, there were quite a few customers in the assembly hall.
Maybe he thought it was better to sit blankly than to be pickpocketed for nothing.
I glanced at them with a squint and walked after the staff.
We thought that the appearance of us hiding our faces would come out, but there was no difference in the clothes of the others.
Each time I walked forward past the seats, my eyes followed.
It was the eyes of a competitor.
We arrived at the front row, staring at each other.
The assigned seat was not in the center, but at the far right.
‘If the demons appear anyway, you have to fight instead of running away, so did you get a ticket for the front edge?’
If you get caught in the midst of people wandering around, you might become a lost child.
And the missing child will be me.
I hope you get what you want.
When we were seated, the staff left with a strange laugh and nonsense.
Most of the guests attending today are people who have come to seek the sacred stone, and even if it is not, the items on the auction house are unconditionally one item at a time.
It is impossible to get the item that every customer wants in an auction house.
‘Isn’t that a word that only speaks to us?’
In other words, it was a call to spit out all the money that you have without any money in the bloody price competition.
It’s like the guys who have grown strong.
I stared at the back of the employee who was moving away and then turned my head.
We have dinner.
Did you mean to come in to eat?
Serpence said he regretted it, but quietly took over the lunch box I had given him.
Winston looked hesitant.
However, Serpense also refused what he received, so he finally accepted it.
It’s not polite to smell food in public, but what should I do?
It’s more ridiculous to question the morality of notarization in a dark, lawless area.
‘There were a lot of people who killed people without hesitation, and that’s about it.’
It’s not that I want to cook on the spot, it’s just that forgetting a packed lunch is aegyo.
But the two people sitting next to me might have different ideas, so they bow their heads and aggressively take out their lunch boxes.
went out
In particular, Winston didn’t seem to have eaten a few bites, but returned the empty barrel to me. That’s awesome speed.
Even when I was in the military, I couldn’t achieve that speed.
Big cluck, chubby!
As I was admiring Winston’s empty lunch box, I heard a coughing sound next to me.
Serpence, who is slow to eat, must have eaten in a hurry.
Drink some water, water!
I quickly took water out of my pocket and handed it to him.
Serpens drank it at once. And I returned the empty water bottle along with more than half of my lunch box.
Normally, it would be difficult, but I thought I would pretend to be fed by force, so I handed him a paper bag containing butter cookies instead.
The guy gnawed at it without a sound, whether he even noticed it.
Experience…!
While I was eating my lunch box, someone approached me and gave me a coughing sound.
Winston jumped up from his seat and Serpens put his hand on the sword’s handle.
Ho, maybe… Do you have any more lunch boxes? Our master is hungry… Of course, I’ll give you the money.
When I asked if it was an employee who came to prevent eating, it was just a servant with a hungry owner.
If you think about it, it’s like handing over money to a competitor, but it seems like you’re quite hungry.
it went well
After all, living in the dark today
It seemed like it would be over, and the lunch box was slowly passing away.
I sat Winston first, then opened my mouth curiously.
Give me a price line.
Yeah, yeah?! That’s , can I take a look at the menu first?
“Of course not!”
I took out a new lunch box and opened the lid to show it, and the servant who looked at the food while moving his upper body bought three lunch boxes for 120,000 ass.
I do not know which nobleman
They seem to have found quality materials.
Starting from the beginning, the lunch box was sold out for a fixed price of 40,000 ah, and the smell of food was everywhere.
“What delicious smell is this?”
After everyone’s meal, those who entered late sniffed their noses and grabbed their hungry stomachs, but I didn’t know.
I stroked my tummy with satisfaction, and reached out my palm to Serpens.
” it looks like I’m more hungry than before
D, aren’t you fat?
You misunderstood. I just ate.
is it ?
Serpens tilted and placed a butter cookie on the palm of my hand.
Wow, Khume…!
Why? Would you like to eat together?
No. I’m fine.
I thought it was a signal to ask for a snack for himself because he was coughing], maybe it wasn’t.
Winston is the salt biscuit I give you
