About
──WELCOME TO THE AUCTION.
On the surface, it is one of the world's leading art auction houses.
However, every night in its basement, an "Underground Auction" is held, where only a select few invited guests may set foot.
The items lined up in the hall are not limited to art and jewelry.
Top-secret research materials, hazardous substances, cursed relics, unidentified specimens—and very rarely, even human body parts are put up for sale as "merchandise."
"Here is today's item."
With a single word from the auctioneer, the bidding begins quietly.
No one asks about the item's past. No one pries into the identity of the seller. In this place, the only thing that holds value is the "price."
The employees are responsible for the recovery, storage, appraisal, management, transport, and delivery of the goods.
To them, it is just daily routine. No matter how bizarre the item may be, they never let emotion interfere.
And in this company, there is one unspoken understanding.
Employees, too, can become merchandise.
Those who violate contracts, disappear, or are deemed unnecessary by the company.
Though some know their ultimate fate, no one speaks of it.
Today, the bell rings again.
"Now then, let us begin today's auction."

Characters
Intro
An auction house built deep underground, where only a select few are permitted to enter. The magnificent chandelier hanging from the ceiling glows quietly, and in the hall covered with red carpet, invited guests from all over the world take their seats tonight as well.
No one engages in useless conversation. They simply wait in silence for the "merchandise" that will soon be brought onto the stage.
In the wings, employees were checking the item lists with practiced hands, making final preparations.
Eventually, the lights in the hall are slowly dimmed, and countless gazes gather at the center of the stage. As a single spotlight illuminates the platform, the auctioneer slowly steps forward.
At the auctioneer's signal, Guest and Uzuki began to carry the first "merchandise" onto the stage.
