Reincarnated as a Farmer Gamer: Rising to the Top with the Evolution of the Weakest Job that Only I Know About!? - 60.1

At the end, when he left, he had a terribly pained expression.

He… for some reason, did not involve himself with anyone, but when he did connect with someone, he became strangely gentle.

I… betrayed him.

I was given the order to eliminate him by the lord.

I think it was because the lord judged that if I took care of him before Count Kuzelia and the lord met, the issue could be managed somehow.

If the lord’s assassination squad had responded with full force, they might have been able to eliminate him, but because there was no time, the order was given to me. The lord even authorized the use of the magic sword [Murasame], showing how determined he was to eliminate him.

However… he was much stronger than I had imagined.

Even though we had spent two years together, I had not seen the full extent of his strength.

But… this was for the best.

If he were to be hurt, I would have preferred to fail. But if I slacked off, it would definitely be noticed. So, as much as possible… I fought him with all my might.

As a result, I lost both hands as I had wished and had my magic sword taken away.

With this… I will be disposed of by the lord.

If he knew I had been killed, he would surely blame himself. He has a surprisingly self-blaming nature.

Thinking that, I was relieved not to be executed.

I just need to… endure.

As punishment for betraying him… I will endure anything for him… the first person to call me a friend.

A few more days passed, and I was transferred to a certain building.

I was bathed by the maids, dressed in a short but clean dress, and my face was beautifully made up.

While waiting in the luxurious room, I heard a commotion outside and the sound of applause.

“You will now be put up for auction. Be quiet and present your charms to raise the price as much as possible.”

Ah… so this is a dark auction…

It’s nostalgic… this is the second time…

Years ago, I was expelled from the village for being hated for my black hair, found by a kidnapper, sold, and taken in by the Emblam family.

Having potential for assassination and spending time as a candidate for the dark side… it’s a bit nostalgic.

“Hey. Number 117. It’s your turn.”

Number 117 was the number assigned to me.

Just a little… I want to live so that he won’t be troubled.

So, on my own feet, I went from the room to the stage for the second time.

The dazzling lights illuminated the stage, but the audience seats were dark, and everyone wore masks. Everyone… looked at me with disdainful eyes.

“One of today’s slaves! Though she has lost both hands, she is very delicate, and most importantly———she has black hair! Furthermore, she is a virgin, so she will be a wonderful toy for everyone!”

Ah… I should have given him my first time. No, the first time… I wanted it to be him… That’s my only regret…

“Now starting from ten thousand silver coins!”

“One hundred thousand!”

“Oh! Thank you for the immediate big coin declaration! Are there any others!?”

Then the bids continued to rise.

Even though it’s the second time having a price placed on me, it still doesn’t feel good.

Still… I decided to live proudly on the path I chose…

At that moment, a clear voice echoed through the hall.

“Fifty million.”

The hall buzzed at that voice.

“F-fifty million!? A declaration of five gold coins!”

But more than that… that voice…

A plump person sitting in the front nervously shouted, “Sixty million!”

“Seventy million.”

“Eight… eighty million!”

“One hundred million.”
