Entry round clear!

“Hiya!”

With a sharp snap of her leg, Juri kicked three goblins away all at once.

“Hmph.”

Juri set her leg down with a small huff.

She felt the monster’s bones crack under her leg.

‘Weak-ass bugs!’

This was far below the level of combat she had expected when she first came here with her master.

“And No. 157 Juri Han clears the field in one clean hit!

We have yet to see another contestant show off such skill!

Everyone, give her a huge applause!”

As the people cheered and clapped, Juri made her way back to you at the exit of the combat arena.

“This sucks.”

She pouted.

“I can see why you think that, but don’t worry.”

With a smile, you showed her a gold-colored ticket.

“That was just an elimination round.

You’ll get your fights tomorrow…against other Characters with skills like yours.”

At your words, Juri grinned in excitement and rubbed her hands together.

“Now we’re talking.”

Since Juri’s turn was over, you were supposed to exit the arena and head to the orientation room for tomorrow’s real tournament.

But you decided to stay back and watch the next contender, since you recognized who she was…and it took you by surprise.

“…uh…uhmm…”

“Who’s that chick?”

Juri asked with a small frown.

“Looks like she can’t fight for shit.”

“She is Komi Shouko. If she is just like her original self, then yes, she can’t fight.”

As far as your knowledge went, Komi was a regular teenager—or as normal as a teenager in a rom-com manga could be.

She didn’t have any extraordinary strengths or abilities that would help her in combat.

Even now, as she faced the three goblins, she was having a hard time with her weapon, not knowing which one to target first.

“And, begin!”

As soon as the announcer called out, the goblins pounced on Komi.

“Aaah!!”

Komi shrieked and clumsily swung her weapon, but the goblins easily knocked it out of her hands.

They yanked her onto the ground and tore off her clothes while cackling in glee.

In less than a minute, the goblins were surrounding Komi, having their way with her from every direction possible.

The crowd erupted with cheers as the various cameras around the arena closed in on the event.

“Whoa.”

Juri swallowed. Even she seemed shocked by what was happening.

“…Looks like this was her owner’s intention from the beginning.”

You muttered.

Once you realized, it all made sense.

If one wanted to see their Character get violated by a pack of monsters, they’d either have to be rich enough to spend money on transporting them and have somewhere to keep them…or join in an event like this and intentionally lose.

Personally, you couldn’t understand the appeal of spending thousands of dollars on something only for others(or other beings, in this context) to enjoy them to the full extent.

Hell, you got Juri practically for free, and you weren’t going to let anyone lay so much as a finger on her unless you permitted it.

“Come on, let’s go. I feel queasy just from watching.”

“…right.”

As you walked beside Juri to the orientation room, Juri spoke up tentatively.

“Daddy, you’re not…”

“No.”

And that was all she needed to hear.

“Haah…”

Mirko sat down on the sofa with a small sigh.

Today was a busy day, as always.

Her eyes roamed around her house—her house, not her master’s, or the company’s.

Ever since she was hired at RealDreams, she had been allowed to own private property with her salary.

Of course, this was not because they viewed her differently.

Once her time was up and she was going to be sold at the auction, all of her belongings would automatically become the property of her new master…

[“And in this week’s elimination round, 8 resounding contestants were picked out for the tournament!”]

“…!”

Mirko’s ear twitched when the pictures of the combatants and their owners were shown.

For the most part, she didn’t care for any of them, but one person drew her eyes.

“James…”

Mirko’s lips arched into a small smile.

It wasn’t hard to guess why he had bothered to enter such a tournament when he was already financially stable.

“…♡”

Mirko slipped her hands below her clothes and began to slowly massage her body.

As small moans escaped through her lips, Mirko closed her eyes.

She had never thought she’d say this, but she couldn’t wait for her to get auctioned off… because there was no doubt that the master of her dreams would purchase her.
