A supporting character in a romance anime? I became a god using a rat talisman.

And next to her, the person who wished she could shrink into the gap between the sofa and cover her entire face with her hands... without a doubt, was Yukino Yukinoshita.

Kazama Chiba fell silent.

Good news, we didn't encounter any idiots.

Bad news, something funny has happened.

"This……"

The auctioneer was so excited he almost swallowed the hammer.

I thought this broken lamp would go unsold, but I never expected that this small auction would actually feature these two brilliant minds.

"Two million! This beautiful lady has offered two million! Sir, would you like to raise the bid?"

After calming down, Kazama Chiba felt somewhat relieved.

It's alright, as long as the opponent isn't the kind of gang that only uses brute force.

Although Kazama Chiba was surprised by the appearance of the Yukinoshita sisters, he had no intention of giving up the Rat Talisman that was within his grasp.

Three million.

"Oh my, Chiyu-kun is so decisive! But I also really like that lamp. Could you give it to my sister?"

Yang Nai smiled even more happily and tapped her fan lightly.

"Three million four hundred thousand."

Kazama Chiba didn't even lift her eyelids.

"Three and a half million."

The price increase did not put any pressure on him, or rather, he did not show any pressure on his face.

Because if I make it look particularly difficult, I don't want that woman, Haruno, to get her way later.

Sitting next to Haruno, Yukino Yukinoshita felt a throbbing pain in her temples.

Looking at her sister's face, which showed she was happy by building her own happiness on the suffering of others, she finally couldn't help but reach out and stop Yang Nai's wrist from raising the sign again.

"Enough, are you crazy?"

Yukino lowered her voice, her tone carrying a clear warning.

“That thing is not worth the price at all. If your mother finds out you spent so much money, she will definitely cancel your credit card.”

Yang Nai turned her head, her eyes filled with an irrepressible smile.

"Is Xiaoxue feeling sorry for her sister's money, or is she feeling sorry for her old friend?"

"Moreover, the value of some things lies not in the things themselves, but in how much others want them."

Yukino retorted coldly, her eyes icy.

"Please put away your perverse sense of humor."

"I just think that this kind of behavior of throwing intelligence to the back of one's head in order to have fun is very stupid."

"Oh dear, this is so strict. Am I not even allowed to hold up a sign to buy something?"

Although Yang Nai complained, she still restrained herself somewhat.

"Then, for Yukino's sake, I'll try one more time? One last time, please."

Then Yang Nai flipped his wrist.

"Three.6 million."

There was an uproar.

All of you here are respectable people. You've seen people fight tooth and nail over genuine blue and white porcelain, and you've also seen people go bankrupt over Van Gogh's authentic works.

But for something that looks like a cheap, low-quality item sold on Pinduoduo for 9.9 yuan with free shipping, they actually priced it at over three million yuan.

This touches on a blind spot in everyone's knowledge.

Yang is now extremely happy.

Finally... I can finally make Kazama suffer a bit.

She had even thought it through.

When Kazama turns around in a fit of rage, looking at her with eyes full of resentment and unwillingness, how should she respond to his mockery?

Is it to say "What a pity," or "Oh dear, if you don't have money, don't come to a place like this?"

Heh, let's consider this punishment for him completely ignoring me when I was a child and then betraying Yukino as an adult.

Yang Nai had already made up her mind.

If Kazama Chiba bids again, even if it's just an extra 100,000, she'll immediately back off, dump the mess on him, and then enjoy watching his despair as he gets burdened with debt for this junk.

However, just when everyone thought that the unknown boy would continue to follow up and push this farce to the four million mark, Qianyu suddenly put his hand down.

Based on his understanding of Yang Nai from childhood to adulthood

This woman probably doesn't care whether the item is valuable or not; what she cares about is seeing that expression on his face—"clearly wanting it but being humiliated because she doesn't have the money."

She liked this feeling, the feeling of cornering Kazama Chiba and watching her struggle desperately for that pitiful little bit of hope.

However, Kazama Chiba was not surprised.

Because he had never really paid attention to her since he was a child, she held a grudge against him.

Conversely, the more determined Yang Nai appears to be to win, the more excited he will become to raise the price.

But since Yang Nai doesn't know the true value of the Rat Talisman, Kazama Chiba decides to use this as a breakthrough point.

Therefore, Kazama Chiba simply gave up on the auction.

He tossed the number plate onto an empty chair next to him, leaned back in the chair, and even took out his phone to check the time.

The auctioneer froze, holding the gavel, unsure whether to bring it down.

"Sir? Aren't you going to bid?"

Qianyu didn't even raise her head; she simply waved her hand, the meaning of which couldn't be clearer.

No, give it to her.

Yang Nai's smile froze instantly.

She anticipated that Qianyu would turn around and glare at her angrily, or grit her teeth and continue to raise the price, or even lose her composure on the spot.

But what she never expected was that this man would slam on the brakes at such a crucial moment and simply give up.

It felt like punching cotton after a long pause; not only did it fail to hurt the other person, but the excessive force also strained the back.

The auctioneer was clearly taken aback by this sudden turn of events, and it took him several seconds to react before he almost instinctively struck down with his gavel.

"Three million six hundred thousand for the first time... three million six hundred thousand for the second time... three million six hundred thousand for the third time! Sold! Congratulations, ma'am!"

Congratulations my foot!

Yang Nai instinctively wanted to stand up, but reason told her that backing out now would only make her look more embarrassed.

She stared at the back of the person who had already started looking down at their phone, her mind going blank for a moment.

He's not going to follow me anymore?

This script is wrong!

Given his personality, shouldn't he be determined to fight to the bitter end, even if it means going bankrupt, just to prove himself?

How can you just give up like that?

Yang Nai was still in a daze when the staff handed her that uniquely ugly broken lamp and politely asked her to swipe her card.

She stared at the number plate she hadn't yet put down, then glanced at Kazama Chiba in the distance, who hadn't even turned her head. Only three words echoed endlessly in her mind:

I've been tricked.

"Congratulations, sister."

Yukino stood to the side, arms crossed, delivering a cool and sarcastic remark.

"You successfully spent 3.6 million to buy a piece of junk that even a roadside stall wouldn't accept. I think Mother will definitely praise your unique vision."

"And since you like it so much, then please make sure to put it in the most conspicuous place in your bedroom, so that you can see this lesson of four million every morning when you wake up."

"I never thought he would really not want it anymore!"

Yang Nai gritted her teeth and swiped the card, looking at the broken light as if it were an enemy.

"Wasn't Kazama acting all high and mighty? How could this happen! Men really are all jerks!"

"It's because you're too competitive," Yukino sighed.

"What do we do now? Do we really have to bring it home? I don't think Mother would appreciate this kind of taste that treats trash like treasure. How are you going to explain this expense? Say it's for poverty alleviation?"

Yang was choked half to death.

This is indeed a big problem. Although the Yukinoshita family is wealthy, if this kind of unjustified extravagance reaches her mother's ears, she will inevitably be dragged away for several hours of family discipline lectures.

Just as the two sisters were staring at the pile of junk, the atmosphere becoming extremely awkward, a middle-aged man dressed like a nouveau riche suddenly approached.

"Um... ladies, excuse me for disturbing you."

Yang asked warily, "Is something the matter?"

The man rubbed his hands together, looking embarrassed.

That's how it is.

"I also had my eye on this item when I was watching from the sidelines. But I was short on cash and didn't dare to bid against you two. However, this young lady doesn't seem to like it very much. If it's possible, could you... transfer it to me?"

"Transfer?" Yang Nai raised an eyebrow, a glimmer of hope suddenly rising in his heart. "How much are you offering?"

The man held up a hand: "Five or five hundred thousand."

Yang Nai narrowed his eyes and sized up the other party.

Dollars or pounds?

"JPY"

"50 yen?! Are you trying to make a wish on my behalf?"
