After Rosary handed the crumpled auction invitation to Yukito Mizuki, she continued to rummage through the room, pulling out a heavy-looking bag from the deepest part of a cabinet, filled with unknown contents.
"If Yukito-chan decides to attend the auction later, take this money with you."
"My little tavern usually does quite well, and I've saved up some money," Rosary said as she turned around and handed the bag she was holding to Yukito.
With a hint of confusion, Yukito took the bag Rosary handed him. It felt like it was made of some kind of leather and wasn't too big. He opened it curiously and saw it was filled with various sizes of faintly glowing, gem-like objects.
The gem-like objects in the bag were called demon stones, a unique currency in the Demon Realm, mostly mined from places rich in demonic energy, and also the most widely circulated currency in the Demon Realm.
Although Yukito Mizuki had never seen demon stones before, nor had he ever understood their value, the heavy feeling in his hand and the subtle expression in Rosary's eyes made him realize that the demon stones in this bag represented a fortune!
"Anti-Demon Ninja slaves are very rare and scarce; their prices are usually very high and they are highly sought after. I'm actually not sure if you'll be able to successfully buy that captured Anti-Demon Ninja."
"Many demons and even humans desperately want an Anti-Demon Ninja slave. After all, Anti-Demon Ninja are usually beautiful young women, and they also possess relatively strong combat and recovery abilities, making them more resilient to abuse and capable of undergoing various extreme adjustment and education."
After handing the bag full of demon stones to Yukito, Rosary hesitated for a few seconds before continuing to remind him.
"If you fail to buy that captured Anti-Demon Ninja, it's best not to casually conflict with the Underworld Trading Company's auction house. I'm not clear about their exact origins, but there should be powerful entities backing them."
Rosary looked at Yukito Mizuki, Yatsu Murasaki, and Igawa Sakura. Although she didn't state it directly, her meaning was already very clear.
Yukito and the others alone would not be able to forcibly snatch the Anti-Demon Ninja captive, who was an auction item, from the auction house. If they acted rashly, they might even be directly suppressed and become new slaves awaiting auction.
For the people of the Underworld Trading Company, not only young and beautiful Anti-Demon Ninja girls like Igawa Sakura and Yatsu Murasaki were very popular commodities, but handsome young men like Yukito, who possessed extremely alluring life essence, were also usually very popular.
Rosary was very aware of Yukito's strong appeal to succubi and other races that also liked to absorb male life essence (semen), such as incubi and banshees.
She didn't want the playmate she had just found to be targeted by other succubi or incubi. She had just tasted the pleasure of intimate contact and deep communication with a boy, and she didn't want to lose that joy so soon!
Hearing Rosary's warning, Yukito didn't say anything, but instead looked at Yatsu Murasaki and Igawa Sakura beside him.
For Yukito, he didn't particularly care what fate awaited the captured Anti-Demon Ninja, who was the main item at tonight's slave auction.
Anyway, the captured Anti-Demon Ninja was not someone he knew well; Yukito didn't care about a stranger who had no connection to him.
This world was inherently full of dangers, and Yukito wouldn't go around meddling in other people's business.
"We should inform our sisters about this first. Even if we wanted to attack that auction house and directly destroy the Underworld Trading Company to rescue all the slaves, the few of us probably wouldn't be able to do it."
Igawa Sakura, with her neat orange-yellow short hair and slender figure, slightly more delicate than Yatsu Murasaki and Rosary, had a solemn expression at this moment. After a brief whispered exchange with Yatsu Murasaki, she made a decision.
"I will immediately return to the Anti-Demon Ninja Organization's headquarters in Tokyo and tell my sister about this."
"Yukito-kun and Murasaki, you two go to that so-called slave auction. Try to hide your identities and avoid any conflicts with others."
"Even if you fail to successfully buy that captured Anti-Demon Ninja after the auction ends, don't act rashly. Just find out who bought and took that Anti-Demon Ninja, and find her location; that will be enough."
Igawa Sakura looked at Yatsu Murasaki and Yukito with a serious expression, confident in her sister's strength.
This Underground Black Market and the so-called Underworld Trading Company might have many powerful individuals, but Igawa Sakura believed that none of them could be a match for her sister.
"Don't worry, even if I encounter any danger, I have ways to deal with it."
"I think it's better for Murasaki to leave with you, because while some of my trump cards can ensure my own safety, they might not be able to protect others."
Yukito turned his head to look at Yatsu Murasaki beside him. After a brief moment of silence, he finally spoke.
"Yukito, you intend to stay here all by yourself? How can that be?"
"This is the Underground Black Market, after all. It is far too dangerous for you to stay here alone."
Just as Yukito finished speaking, Yatsu Murasaki, standing beside him, couldn't help but retort.
"Yukito, although I don't know what kind of trump cards you have, I cannot agree to let you stay here alone. Let Murasaki stay here with you instead."
"This Underground Black Market is not far from the Anti-Demon Ninja Organization Headquarters Base in Tokyo. As soon as I get out, I will immediately notify my sister and the others; it won't take much time."
After Igawa Sakura finished saying this, she didn't give Yukito any chance to refute or refuse. Her body sank into the shadows beneath her feet and disappeared.
Once Igawa Sakura had completely vanished, Yukito could see through the System Map function that she had already left this Succubus tavern and was moving at high speed toward the entrance of the Underground Black Market. Yukito turned his head to look at Yatsu Murasaki, who had stayed behind, and didn't think about making her leave either.
"Yukito-chan, I won't be accompanying you to the auction today."
"If you encounter any trouble here, you can come find me at any time!"
"Of course, at other times, even if you leave this place, you can find me whenever you like. If you don't take the initiative to contact me, Yukito-chan, I will come to find you myself."
Rosary did not care how Yukito, Yatsu Murasaki, and Igawa Sakura planned to rescue the captured Anti-Demon Ninja who had been reduced to a slave. Seeing that their discussion had ended and that they seemed to be preparing to leave to attend the auction, Rosary hurriedly stepped forward to stand in front of Yukito. She naturally wrapped her arms around his neck, and her crystalline, tender pink lips pressed directly onto his mouth for a kiss.
Feeling the soft and sweet sensation of Rosary's lips, Yukito subconsciously reached out and wrapped his arms around her slender waist.
He originally thought that this succubus, Rosary, was feeling hungry again and wanted to continue the interesting, intimate little games and in-depth exchanges from yesterday. Thinking that he still had to attend the auction and couldn't afford to be delayed for too long, he was just about to refuse Rosary's further actions.
Unexpectedly, Rosary only kissed him lightly and quickly released her hands from around his neck.
At the same time, Yukito suddenly felt a hot sensation on the back of his left hand. Lifting his hand, he discovered that, at some point, a mark had appeared on the back of his left hand that looked remarkably like the patterns often seen in various H-manga and doujinshi representing the Succubus Clan!
If one were to follow the settings of various doujinshi or H-manga, shouldn't this sort of thing appear on the lower abdomen?
Suddenly having this kind of pattern on the back of his hand just feels strange somehow...
Yukito looked at the Succubus Clan pattern that had appeared on the back of his hand. He opened his mouth, just about to ask Rosary in front of him, when the strange pattern on his hand vanished.
It was as if everything that had happened was just an illusion.
As the mark on Yukito's hand disappeared, a piece of information appeared in his mind.
The mark that had just appeared on his hand was a type of contract for the Succubus Clan. He could use the mark on the back of his hand to summon the high-ranking succubus Rosary, and Rosary could also use that mark to find him.
Although this contract did not possess any mandatory power, Yukito could be considered thoroughly entangled with Rosary.
However, looking at the heavy bag of magic stones in his hand, Rosary could be considered a very generous wealthy woman willing to spend money on him. The key was that although Rosary was a succubus, both her appearance and figure were perfectly in line with Yukito's preferences.
Even if being entangled with Rosary didn't seem to be a problem, aside from the fact that he might need to strengthen his physical training in the future, and would probably need many things to replenish his stamina.
"Rosary, can you find clothes suitable for Murasaki in your tavern?"
"If we are going to attend the auction, Murasaki's current attire won't do. Could you take her to change into something else?"
Yukito did not dwell on the matter of the mark on his hand and turned his head to look at Yatsu Murasaki, who was wearing a somewhat damaged tight-fitting combat suit beside him.
He nodded to signal for her to go with Rosary to change clothes, and then the two of them left the tavern together to attend today's slave auction.
