"...Sell it?"
The representative repeated the words slowly, as if he had misheard them. He seemed completely taken aback by my sudden proposition.
And to be honest, I was too.
Nevertheless, since I had decided to commit, it was only right that I saw things through to the end.
"That's right."
"....."
The group exchanged glances. The younger members behind him straightened one after another, their earlier grim expressions replaced by cautious ones.
I couldn't blame them.
From their perspective, the value of the object had fallen, and having seen just how 'useless' it kind of was, having someone suddenly buy it made little to no sense.
'I mean, it's not entirely useless, but it's also not entirely useful.'
Anyone would be suspicious.
"...May I ask why?"
The representative finally spoke, his eyes narrowing as they studied my face.
"Does the reason matter?"
"Considering who's asking... yes, it does."
