"(Y/N), before we part ways. I want you to give me a call first." He said, showing me his phone.

"Like, right now?" I asked.

He nodded.

"I'm going to give you a call while you're just here? Standing in front of me?"

He nodded again.

"O-Okay."

(*Ring!* *Ring!* *Ring!*)

"Hello?" He nonchalantly answered.

"E-Eh..."

Well, this is really awkward. And let's add up the Jester who wants to laugh at us. I can actually hear him trying to stop himself from laughing.

"Okay, that's it." He said as he ended the call.

"I'll see you around, (Y/N)." Illumi patted my head before walking away.

"Ciao." Hisoka winked at me as he followed Illumi from behind.

"S-See ya." I waved at them.

I just booked myself a room in this hotel. I guess I'll be spending my entire week in this place and look for another interesting items to bid on. I may be out of luck tonight, but there's still going to be an auction until next week. I hope I can win some cool items starting tomorrow!

The Auction Hall is just located underground, so it will not be a hassle for me to go down when the Auction starts.

I went to my hotel room and lay myself down on the bed. I feel so tired and sleepy.

(*Beep*)

My phone just notified something. I immediately grabbed it from my purse and checked it.

"Oh, a message..."

Then I got all nervous when I realized that it came from Illumi.

"F-From ILLUMI???!!!" I exclaimed.

(*SMS*)

Illumi : Hi.

Me : Hello.

Illumi : Hisoka told me that you are planning to attend the Auction for the whole week?

Me : Yes!

Illumi : I see. What are you planning to bet for?
