I am a Type-Moon comic artist!

He had seen her soul through his double, and her soul was saying "YES!" when he asked her question!

There truly exists a "Rainbow" Mystic Eye within this Mystic Eye Collection Train, a being of the highest level, which is believed by the vast majority, even some Lords of the Clock Tower, to be nonexistent!

It really exists here!

If there is anything in the real world that can rival the combat power of Heroic Spirits... then the "Rainbow" Mystic Eye is undoubtedly among them.

Possessing this Mystic Eye, one could claim to have combat power comparable to a Heroic Spirit... no, that's not right, it should be called a Servant. To say one possesses combat power comparable to a Servant wouldn't be an exaggeration at all!

I really think I should...

"Don't be like that. Let me guess, how many pairs of rainbow-level magic eyes do you have here? One? Two? Three? Are there any damaged ones? For example... one is intact, and one is broken... Honestly, at least show some expression, I can't see anything like this."

Kurokawa Kazuya feigned a sigh, but the information had already been gathered. As he said, "Two sets," "Are any damaged?" and "One is intact, the other is broken..."

Her soul said "YES!"

"No comment."

The response was still expressionless, but the answer had already been obtained.

"Well... if there's ever a chance to auction a Mystic Eye of this caliber in the future, remember to send me an invitation... I'll definitely offer a price that will satisfy you."

"I see."

Kurokawa Kazuya paused slightly, turning back as he was about to leave: "You guys... you wouldn't actually be thinking of auctioning off a [Rainbow] level Mystic Eye, would you?"

"YESYESYESYESYES!"

"No comment." The reply remained expressionless.

Chapter 190 Auction Begins

The Magic Eye Collection Train has the idea of ​​auctioning off "Rainbow" level Magic Eyes!

This was beyond his expectations.

Based on what they saw using their Stand ability, Atom, the one they were preparing to auction was the damaged Rainbow Eye.

According to the answer seen by his Stand, one of the Mystic Eyes was intact, while the magic circuits inside the other were damaged to some extent, but the exact extent was unknown.

He didn't continue asking... otherwise it might arouse suspicion.

This double is his trump card... a very useful one.

He didn't intend to tell anyone about his mind-reading ability. He didn't want to tell anyone!

So we should end it quickly before she suspects anything.

Such a big event can't be kept quiet, and when it happens, the scale might be much larger than you imagine.

When the time comes... we absolutely must get our hands on that Demon Eye.

Rainbow-level Mystic Eyes...

It's definitely not something from now; it might have been obtained from the Demon Eye Envoy a hundred years ago, or even earlier.

However, having a rainbow-level Mystic Eye doesn't mean you're invincible; it just means you're very strong... beyond the realm of humanity.

But in this world...

It's beyond the realm of humanity, but it's just a starting point.

He hasn't even reached the starting point yet.

It's still a long way off.

As he pondered deeply, time quickly passed.

An hour passed quickly.

In the dead of night, the car's loudspeaker announced: "Ladies and gentlemen..."

The conductor Rodin's voice came over the loudspeaker: "The Magic Eye Auction is now open. Please move to the second carriage—the P/andaemonium."

Kurokawa Kazuya heard the broadcast and went outside. He was surprised that he had spent three peaceful days there.

Although, the gemstone he bought, worth tens of millions of yen, is now half broken.

The size of the carriage was clearly abnormal; not only was its length unusually long, but its width was twice that of the other carriages. It must have used some kind of space-expanding magic trick.

This is already another world.

The surrounding walls were filled with glass tubes containing eyeballs; if I'm not mistaken... these were all demonic eyes.

There must be hundreds or thousands of them.

These are the foundations of the Magic Eye Collection Train.

The demonic eye has gathered throughout its existence, a history even longer than that of a nation.

"I apologize for keeping you all waiting."

With that sound in mind, Kurokawa Kazuya looked around.

The priest, the dead apostle, the law and political science department, and the young man named "Rayman Noel" whom I met some time ago, followed by a series of familiars of various shapes and sizes.

That was to replace the magicians behind them who came here to buy the Magic Eye.

The total number is six.

"There are five Magic Eyes on display this time. The performance and terms of each Magic Eye, the estimated transaction price, and the auction period are all explained in the catalog you have. Please check in advance."

The conductor continued explaining that the auction would use US dollars and that currency exchange services would be available...

However, what Kurokawa Kazuya was more curious about was... what level of Mystic Eyes were hidden within these walls?

I estimate... they're all NobleColor or even higher.

"Then, the Demon Eye Auction shall begin."

The auctioneer, Leandro, solemnly declared.

"Now, let's reveal the first Mystic Eye." The host gave a slight bow, and another staff member appeared beside her, placing a glass tube inside. Inside were a pair of Mystic Eyes.

"First up is a NobleColor 'Cursed Eye,' which is arguably the most basic item for a NobleColor, so the starting bid is one million US dollars."

"One million and one million dollars."

"One million two hundred thousand US dollars."

"One million three hundred thousand US dollars."

The familiars announced their respective prices, which increased progressively.

“Five million dollars,” Kurokawa Kazuya said simply.

"Six million dollars," Mavis began to raise the price.

“Six million five hundred thousand dollars.” Dead Apostle Colin Kidd narrowed his eyes slightly. He was currently on the run from the Church of the Holy See, and a suitable Mystic Eye could provide him with considerable combat power.

"Ten million dollars." Kurokawa Kazuya once again doubled his previous offer.

“Hey, isn’t this a bit too much… You can’t be that rich, can you?” The young man named Lehman Knoll said with a laugh, “Eleven million US dollars.”

"Who knows..." Kurokawa Kazuya smiled. "I'm more curious... how much price are you willing to pay for this Mystic Eye? Over 11 million? Over 13 million? Or... over 15 million? If you ask me... around 13 million... that's the limit, isn't it?"

He wasn't just making a random offer.

In the El-Melloi II Case Files, the Noble Color "Burning" Mystic Eye sold for ten million...

So my initial goal was this ten million...

After that, if someone exceeds this price, I will pretend to ask them about their psychological limit, and then... use my own substitute to see what that limit is, and then—suddenly offer a price exactly above that!

For example, like this—

"Then I'll offer thirteen million US dollars."

As expected... this time no one followed.

"What a defeat..." Lehman sighed. "As expected of Mr. Kurokawa, he's really rich..."

"It's alright. After all, I'll be joining the Clock Tower soon, so I need to prepare myself."

Lehman's eyes narrowed slightly: "Join the Clock Tower?"

"Ah, that's right, it's Lord Barthezmero's invitation."

Mavis slightly adjusted her glasses, looking at Kurokawa and Miyako... What a clever plan...

Do you want to be feared by others by having Barthez's name as your backer...?

Sure enough, the scene fell silent for a moment, and Lehman gave a wry smile: "Then congratulations to you."

The host struck the gavel, signaling the final price.

All of this indicates that Kurokawa Kazuya has obtained this "cursed demon eye".

"Next up is the 'Petrifying Eye,' which, like the previous ones, is NobleColor, with a starting bid of one million two hundred thousand US dollars."

Then--

It's very simple. Using the same trick as last time, Kurokawa Kazuya obtained the Magic Eye for a cheaper price of twelve million US dollars.

"Next up is the Eye of Coercion. First of all, I would like to reiterate that you should check the restrictions in the catalog beforehand. The starting bid for this Eye of Coercion is eight million US dollars."

A gasp of surprise rippled through the familiars.

Harsh and unpleasant to hear.

"Then, let the auction begin—"

Chapter 191 Kurokawa Kazuya's Goal

"Thirty million US dollars."

"Thirty-five million US dollars."

"Forty million US dollars."
