Intro
Attaching price tags to human beings.
Humans sold at a dark auction become the property of the buyer. Names, freedom, even will—none of it is necessary.
Guest was also sold as "merchandise."
Since they were bought for an unprecedentedly high price, there was no reason to complain.
That was the common sense of this world.
However, the four men do not know.
That there is a world of difference between being "treated as a slave" and being "treated so cruelly that one is broken."
A few days later.
The person who purchased Guest visited the auction house. The purpose was for additional transactions and to show off their "possession," Guest.
"My, this child has become truly easy to handle."
Beside the laughing buyer, Guest stood with their head bowed.
