Chapter 47. From that day I started touring all the jewelry shops in the capital.

“None here either.”

I let out a big sigh coming out of the last jewelry shop.

Thought could find soon since found in the jewelry shop in the territory too.

But unlike expected jewels Blackie can eat weren't easily discovered.[Not any jewel will do. Have to be a jewel full of human desire stuck, or possessing rare power.]

Blackie said that, but honestly I don't know well.

Rather if said a 1 billion diamond would have been easy to know.

Treon who saw me pondering carefully recommended.

“Madam, then how about participating in a secret auction?”

“Secret auction?”

“Yes. Anyway rare jewels come out more on the auction side than jewelry shops owning.”

“Good. Let's do that.”

Like that at the time night deepened, I arrived at the auction house in a remote place of the capital.

Whether an auction for nobles with money the hall inside was decorated quite luxuriously.

Whether to protect the participants' privacy the seats were all partitioned, and the sofa was also fluffy.

I sipped fruit juice, and saw Butcher who followed as escort.

Because the place is the place took off the shabby work clothes usually worn, and dressed well and anew realized Butcher also has a handsome face.‘Like the kindest kindergarten teacher in the world or church brother.’ In the point of reassuring people it was a face perfect for a secret organization.

The auction started and Butcher who was yawning continuously suddenly shone his eyes at the appearance of a rare plant.

“Madam.”

“Why?”

“That that plant, can't you buy that for me? Yes?”

“Where to use that?”

Asking whether Butcher had interest in plants too, he smiled kindly as if unable to kill even one bug.

“When torturing.”

“...”

“If mixing that a little and feeding the whole body itches and bones start melting...”

“Stop, up to there.”

Imagination started so didn't want to hear more than this.

Since the price wasn't that expensive bought and hugged in the arms, Butcher rejoiced like a child.

Then carefully watched my mood.

“Ah... But the thing Madam wanted still hasn't found, right?”

“Right. Hope it comes out quickly.”

Porcelain made by craftsmen, swords used by famous knights, even accessories imported from foreign countries.

All sorts of jewels and valuables appeared and entered repeating, but among them none Blackie can eat.

In the midst of gradually tiring from the lengthening auction, finally the awaited item appeared.

“Come, next is the last item of this auction! A precious item incomparable to the products shown until now.”

The auctioneer raised his voice and concentrated people's attention.

“Exactly the diamond ring that the 5th Emperor His Majesty gifted to Her Majesty the Empress! Also a ring that symbolized His Majesty the Emperor's love so many people coveted. After Her Majesty the Empress passed away, the one entered wearing even to the tomb we could specially obtain!”

At the auctioneer's words the audience stirred.

“Isn't that tomb raiding?”

I whispered to Butcher sitting beside.

“As long as not caught what does it matter.”

Before even seeing the item under the flashy lighting Blackie said.[Master, that.]

Good, finally appeared, this right?

The item revealed with the black cloth removed was beautiful.

“Come, starts from the starting price of 100 million. Will go up by 1 million marks bidding unit!” 100 million.

The highest starting price even among the items that came out in the auction until now.

That level of item wasn't something an ordinary jewelry shop could handle.‘Blackie was honest... To think would want to eat a really enormously expensive diamond.’“Yes, number 22 100 million 1 million. Number 8 100 million 2 million.”

The auction price jumped in an instant and at some point approached 500 million.

“Isn't Madam holding the number?”

“Seems competition will attach more if holding from now the arm will hurt.”

At my words Butcher nodded.

“Right. Madam is delicate. Then shall I support the arm?”

“No, fine.”

Not that delicate to that extent.

The auctioneer smiled and saw the participants.

“Competition is fierce. Will go up by 10 million bidding unit. Yes, number 3 500 million 10 million. Number 15 500 million 20 million.”

At some point the participants narrowed to two.

“Number 15 600 million 20 million. Number 3 600 million 30 million.”

Gradually tired too, and no thought of dragging more.

I held the number and declared.

“1 billion.”* * *Inside the returning carriage I took out the ring successfully bid.

The jewel sparkling under the moonlight was extremely beautiful.

As the auctioneer explained it was worth a fight breaking out to obtain this jewel.‘Even so it's Blackie's meal.’“Our Blackie, let's eat.”

Putting Blackie on the knee and handing the ring, Blackie opened his small mouth and bit the ring.

Crunch, crunch.

Every time Blackie moved his mouth the diamond the size of Blackie's face gradually disappeared.

Finally Blackie who ate all the jewel opened his mouth satisfied.

“How is it?”

What ability arose this time?

The heart beat thump thump.

Soon, white snowflakes fluttered inside the carriage.

For a moment the vision was blocked then the knee became heavy.

“Ugh.”

Opening the closed eyes again, the snowflakes disappeared and a huge handsome man was sitting on my knee.

Dark skin as if melting into the moonlight, pure white hair braided long into one.

When the man slowly opened his eyes blue pupils were visible.

Blackie's human appearance seen when first contracting.

Blackie looked down at his own body with an expressionless face.

Seemed the body returned after a long time was amazing.

Handsome but as expected I prefer the dragon side more.

Wagging the tail is also cute, and expressions seem read better too.

I said to Blackie quietly looking down at me.

“Blackie.”

“Yes, Master.”

“Heavy so go down quickly.”

“Yes...”

Seeing the appearance of becoming a person after a long time became sorry again.

To name such a handsome kid Blackie.

“But Blackie, is becoming human the end? Nothing more?”

Blackie blinked as if not knowing well.

Handsome Blackie was pleasing to the eyes, but in the current situation that wasn't the important thing.

I asked with a serious face.

“Blackie, by chance do you fight well?”

“Is that the only words Master has to say in the current situation?”

“No, because that's the most important now. Never heard stories of you using the sword well or such so.”

Ordinarily would have counted humanization as an excellent ability too, but we were in the status of having to leave to catch the demonic beast in a few days immediately.

If possible hoped the defense ability strengthens.

Blackie answered refreshingly.

“Can't. I've never even held a sword.”

Then have to release one more seal.

Where to obtain jewels again?

Can match the leaving time?

While pondering, Blackie said.

“But can catch demonic beasts.”

“Yes?”

A large water drop was made in Blackie's hand.

An amount that seemed to exceed one cup of water even at a glance.

“Blackie! You...!”

“Now not one cup of water.”

As Blackie's hand moved a water stream arose in the air, then froze in an instant.

Crack!

When Blackie waved his hand this time the ice became powder in an instant and fluttered.

In the fluttering ice powder Blackie looked at me and asked.

“How is it, Master? This level befitting your spirit beast?”

I clapped toward Blackie.

“The best, Blackie!”* * *“Zaril. Soon the Duke Valfruga will head to the Kaot territory.”

Inside the dark room, at the Leholas Marquess's words the man beyond the communication orb laughed ominously.

“Can finally see that cute Duke? Ah ah, already expecting so can't endure.”

“Your expectation or whatever I don't care. Can't tolerate failing the mission.”

“I know. Kill the Duke Valfruga, right? Don't worry. Not weak to the extent of losing to that mere kid.”

Definitely Zaril was a strong demonic beast to the extent of killing thousands of holy knights in the old war.

“Don't let your guard down. The descendant of Valfruga who sealed the Demon King.”

“Even so still a kid, isn't it.”

“More than that how did the work of making the Demon King's new body go? A while ago the swordsman brought said the skill is quite excellent?”

When the Leholas Marquess asked coldly, Zaril shrugged his shoulders.

“The highest record among humans. Because the body endured without collapsing for 30 minutes.”

“No need for excuses.”

“So these days doing new research. Using the body of a young child.”

“Hoo?”

Zaril wore an evil smile.

“Will offer 100 pure bodies as sacrifice and create a powerful body surpassing humans. With that can also withstand the Demon King's demonic energy. Now gathered 99 so, the Duke Valfruga will become that last material.”

“An interesting plan. Making the Demon King's new body with the body of the one who sealed the Demon King.”

“The Demon King's resurrection is not far. Then we also won't have to hide in the darkness like this anymore. If only those damn hero's descendants weren't there!”

The Leholas Marquess's gaze headed outside the window.

The summer night air was refreshing, but to him felt extremely disgusting.

A world where demonic energy covers the sky black, and people's screams are heard.

A ecstatic world that would be created if the Demon King returns.

“Everything is for the Demon King's resurrection.”* * *Felia saw the content investigated about the Kaot territory.

Concentrated for several hours and read all the thick report, then put down the report and said.

“If done well this might be able to completely collapse the Leholas Marquess house?”
