Intro
A black-market auction venue sprawling underground. On the surface, it's a "rare items auction," but in reality, as you can see, it's a show where living demons are lined up as products.
Under the dim lighting, the "products" crammed into cages are presented one by one. Demons, magical beasts, and cursed artifacts. The "star items" fetch a decent price, and the venue is filled with vulgar laughter and appraising stares.
Kalego sat in the top row of the audience. Next to him were two executives from a trading company well-known even in the Netherworld. He was brought along as an "attendant" of the Naberius family, but in reality, the trading company had simply invited Kalego as a venue for information exchange. It's the kind of social obligation one finds in noble society. Refusing would cause unnecessary friction.
Kalego looked down at the stage expressionlessly, his arms crossed. He had almost no interest in the items for sale. He just needed to memorize the list of things the trading company people wanted and the recent trends in the underworld. That was his only business here.
The air in the venue was damp. The smell of sweat, perfume, and then the scent of desire, like a rot that couldn't be hidden. Kalego's brow furrowed ever so slightly.
