After the Assassin Guild Master's visit, last night the others and I were chatting for a while, this conversation helped everyone understand that the Duke is investigating Prince Drago de Cartoza's attempted murder, at this point they should know by now that the extremist faction of the Church of Light is behind this, but none of this matters to me if they resolve these problems.
Kira said we weren't in any danger, she said if the Assassin Guild master really wanted to hurt us we'd all be dead, and considering the strength needed to take his job I agree with Kira, but for some reason, I felt there was more something he wanted, but I can't say what it is.
The conversation last night also served to decide what we would do with the Black Market receptionist's request for help, I gave the responsibility for that decision to Kira who is the only one in our group who knows her, it seems Kira enjoyed the conversations she had. with her but they weren't real friends, but the only thing that matters is that Kira asked me for help and I'm going to do my best for that.
But I warned Kira that we're not a charity, we're going to help her and I'm going to give this receptionist the option to choose whether to join our group or work for us until she gets the money we spent on her if she doesn't join. I'll pay her a room at an inn and I'll use her as an intermediary between us and the Trade Guild, without using my power on her there's no way she can resist the miasma of this mansion.
I was always thinking of finding a merchant to use as an intermediary to sell directly to the Trade Guild, I am looking to buy a Blacksmith, an Alchemist, and a Tailor in this illegal Auction, the initial reason was to have potions, clothes, and weapons manufactured at a cost much smaller for us, but over time I thought about selling some to the Commerce Guild.
For us it will have almost no cost since the materials they will use will come directly from what we will find in our adventures so there will be no cost, course I will not leave her without receiving anything, she will have her salary as an intermediary.
I may not just release her after I buy her, but I will give her everything she needs to get back on her own and if I see that she is competent I can continue to use her services after I release her as a contractor.
I said all this during my conversation last night with everyone, Kira agreed with what she said and told me the receptionist's name was Nira, she told me she was a good merchant and will try to convince her to join us in a good way. permanent.
After that I told everyone to go to sleep, it was difficult to get Leo, Sophia, and Diana to go to sleep as they wanted to be on guard at night for fear of being attacked again, but I managed to convince them that this was a special case.
This week was a week of intense training for me, all the time I was awake I was training in some way, that's why I was using my sense skills when the intruder showed up last night.
All this effort in my training over the past few days has not been wasted, this is the result.
Ding! Ding! Ding!

I was happy to be able to increase the level of these skills, I even managed to evolve one, but it was a shame only to be able to train non-elemental magic, Erica and Irina keep saying that this skill is the basis of elemental magic since its essence is to control and shape mana in a spell, they said that training this way will give me a better foundation for when I'm learning elemental spells.
With that I decided to spend the auction day without training, after so many days of training I'm mentally exhausted, I even woke up with a headache today, so tomorrow I'll spend the whole day relaxing just like today.
According to Kira the auction will only take place during the night, she can only take two people with her, one will be Sophia and the other will be Irius, if the three are together they will be able to help each other and if necessary I can also use my power through Kira as I did Diana during the battle against the Undead.
The three of them will go to the auction and I'll be watching everything through Kira's eyes and ears, since I became a Vampire it's been easier to share their senses.
In this Auction, we only have four things we want which are a Blacksmith, an Alchemist, a Tailor, and Nira Kira's friend, whatever is sold there I won't care.
I told them to be careful on the way back, I told them because it always happened in games, anime, novels, etc. Always the same scenario, someone participates in an auction and buys something that someone else wants and instead of competing in bids, one person waits for the other person to leave the auction place to kill and steal what they wanted.
I may be being stupid to imagine that a situation like this will happen in real life, but I'm living like a Vampire who walks the light of day in another world, I don't think I'm in a position to doubt anything anymore.
-----------
Today will be auction day and we still have eighty crystal coins in hand, for the value that the girls taught me in what global coins have, the crystal coin is the most valuable, but this auction will be one that only happens once a year and what will be sold there will only be rare or illegal stuff, so prices should be above normal market value, I don't know prices so far so I'm a little unsure, hope nothing happens to change my plans.
It was mid-afternoon and I was lying in the shade of one of the trees in the mansion's garden when Kira came walking up to me with Byakko sleeping in her arms.
"Is the master still worried about me and the others going to this auction?" (Kira)
"Yes, one of the reasons is that I don't know what to expect, I don't know what is being sold and I don't want to draw attention to the kind of people who are at this Auction." (I)
"I've already told you not to worry, security is guaranteed by the Black Market and everyone will be hiding their identities, there will be crime bosses, rich merchants, and nobles there, only someone idiot would try to do something without knowing who they're dealing with. " (Kira)
"You may be right, but you also forget that the world is full of idiots, so I want you to come straight back here after the auction." (I)
"I gave you seventy-five Crystal Coins, but your limit is forty-five Crystal Coins, the remaining thirty is in case something unexpected comes up at the auction or the value of what we want is higher." (I)
"That should be enough master." (Kira)
Kira sat beside me and we talked for a while before going in for something to eat, then it got dark and the three came out fully armed and with ordinary clothes hiding their bodies completely and wearing masks, they are also wearing their concealment items and masks, too I told Kira not to wear her Storm Killer costume and mask so as not to draw unnecessary attention.
After nightfall the three will leave the mansion for the auction, I follow their paths through what I'm seeing by sharing Kira's senses.
Soon I see Kira and the other two following the same path Kira said she used to go to the Black Market, I see them entering the secret passage of a dilapidated gun shop, just as they enter a luxurious square room with two sofas in the center. of the room facing each other.
Upon entering they are faced with an Elf Man who looks more like a supermodel for his handsome appearance, but he is almost as tall as Diana, this Elf gets up from one of the sofas and leans over to Kira and the other two talking.
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Jay, I will be your receptionist tonight, please follow me, I will take you to your rooms." (Receptionist)
"I must state that the beginning of the annual Black Market Auction will soon take place." (Jay)
