□□: No;;;; 400,000 coins??;;;;;;;; Whoa, how much is that
□□: Based on this year's global hunter exchange rate, it's over 40 billion won in Korean currency
□□: Honestly, is there even anyone among Korean hunters who can pay 400,000 coins at once?
□□: The relic item 'Commander's Insignia' auctioned at another booth on the same day had a highest bid of 210,000 coins LOLOLOL What's so special about that powder for 400,000??? ㄴㅇㄱㄴㅇㄱ
□□: Is this really such a big deal?? It's probably just Wolf, it's common knowledge that Baekya is terminally ill lol. Spending tens of thousands of coins is nothing for them, right? Who doesn't know Wolf won the bid for 150,000 coins two years ago?
□□: LOLOLOL As the comment above said, wouldn't it be weirder if Wolf really won the bid for Pixie Powder with 150,000 coins two years ago? LOLOL;;; Is there any reason to bid more than double the price this year for an item they already bought once??
□□: Right lol If Baekya had recovered with Pixie Powder, it would have been all over the news already, but since it's still quiet, it means it was useless ㅇㅇ But they're buying the same thing again??
□□: There's also a rumor it was Baekrang
□□: ??? Sudden Baekrang??
□□: LOLOLOLOL So many armchair detectives, they really have nothing better to do
□□: fr lol

[Title] Sighting of Pixie Powder Buyer
[Author] □□(121.428)│2031.9.13 AM 2:02│[Views] 783,910│[Recommended] 10,868
I'm a B-Class hunter, won't reveal my alias or guild. Didn't participate in the flea market on the first and second days, only on the 13th auction day.
To prove it's not fake, here's verification first ㅇㅇ
<Hunter Auction Authentication Badge.jpg>
FYI, pamphlet verification is not possible, already sold it.
Anyway, I was there from morning till evening on auction day, initially at Booth F, then moved to Booth K midway to participate in the Tablet of Origin auction.
Due to the news of a relic item appearing, there were more people compared to other booths.
Unfortunately, I failed to win the bid for the Tablet of Origin (Hulk mask who kept bidding like crazy until the end, are you watching?) and was about to leave when the problematic Pixie Powder auction started.
Since it was a relic item, I thought it would be an interesting sight, so I decided to just sit and eat popcorn.
As it was a relic item, the competition was fierce from the start, but in the middle, a man wearing a black mask raised the bid to 200,000 coins at once.
I'm not good at drawing, but it was roughly this kind of mask.
(Bad drawing warning) <Reference Picture.jpg>
As you can see, it was just a plain black mask with no pattern ㅇㅇ By now, everyone probably noticed, but the Pixie Powder buyer two years ago also wore the exact same mask. Whether that guy is Wolf or not, I don't know, just saying ㅇㅇ
Anyway, thinking the winner was decided, I was about to leave the booth when suddenly some participant raised the bid to 400,000 coins.
It was exactly three people away from me. Since the distance was close, I saw it quite clearly.
She was wearing a black cat mask, her face wasn't visible, but she had long black hair down to her waist, jeans, and a white t-shirt. Just ordinary attire.
She seemed to have one companion with her, I remember it was a Mickey Mouse mask lol. From hearing them talk, I only noticed they were both female.
Anyway, neither the winning bidder nor her companion looked particularly special on the outside ㅇㅇ FYI, she wasn't wearing a badge on her chest, so I don't know her rank.
This is all I witnessed.
If you have more questions, comment ㄱㄱ I'll answer as much as I remember, no DMs ㄴ

□□: [Best] I was at the same place that day too lol. Saw it from afar, before the cat mask sat down, the Mickey Mouse mask next to her was wiping the chair with clothes, fanning her, making a whole fuss ㅇㅇ She did seem like someone important.
□□: Huh;; Guild Master level?
□□: I don't think Baekya would participate in the auction directly. Since she said it was a woman, Doctor Plant?
□□: Plausible ㅇㅇ
□□: LOLOLOL In the first place, isn't it strange to guess the guild based on the mask when masks are worn to hide identities?
□□: Wow, that cat mask is so cute ><>< Whoever it is, flexing 400,000 coins at once and having such a good sense in choosing a mask, must be an amazing hunter!!
□□: Who r u?
The internet was abuzz for days with stories of the cat-masked figure who appeared at the 27th Sejong City Hunter Auction.
Numerous speculations were made about the identity of the owner of 400,000 coins, but none of them mentioned the Princess of Dark Flare.
It was only natural.
One wouldn't easily think that an F-Class concept hunter would possess 400,000 coins.
The protagonist of the buzz had just arrived at her destination.
Vzzzt—
A vibration came from her back pocket.
Yoni♥
Unnie Unnie><><!!
AM 9:42
For reference, the sender of the message was Ayeon.
'Yoni♥' was entered by Ayeon herself.
Right before parting ways after the auction, Ayeon had grabbed Eunha's ankle and asked to exchange contact information.
Yoni♥
Arrived at the hospital??? Got the Pixie Powder safe?? ㅇㅅㅇ
AM 9:42
Btw the internet is going crazy talking about Unnie right now, did you see?? LOLOLOLOL
AM 9:42
Want me to send the link??
AM 9:42
No
AM 9:43

AM 9:43
Yoni♥
Okay ㅠ
AM 9:44
When Unnie is done with her business, please contact me!! I'll treat you properly!
AM 9:44
Definitely!
AM 9:44
Definitely!!!!!!!!!!
AM 9:45
Vzzt, vzzt, vzzt—
Non-stop vibrations.
It seemed she was quite sad about parting with Eunha just like that.
Eunha put her phone back in her pocket and lifted her head.
After knocking twice on the firmly closed door, a gentle voice came from beyond the door.
"Come in."
It was Doctor Plant, Roje.
"You are..."
Seeing Eunha, Roje's eyes changed strangely for a moment.
But only for a moment.
"I believe I've restricted outside access, so how did you get in here?"
Roje asked.
Instead of answering, Eunha abruptly held something out.
"You said you needed this, right?"
Thump.
A pouch fell onto the desk.
Roje, after staring at it for a moment, put down the pen she was holding and checked the contents.
"...!"
The white powder piled inside the pouch sparkled dazzlingly, as if crushed diamonds.
Roje knew the identity of that powder.
"Pixie Powder..."
Roje, clutching the pouch, muttered blankly.
Roje, who had been stiffly frozen, finally, after a long time, hesitantly lifted her gaze.
'...How?'
Where on earth, and by what means, had she obtained this?
Roje, even after seeing this star-like sparkling powder with her own eyes, couldn't believe it at all.
She had already heard that the Hunter Auction was held in Sejong City yesterday, that Pixie Powder was listed there, and that it was finally sold for a whopping 400,000 coins.
It was impossible not to know, as everyone around was talking about it.
Then did that mean she was the owner of the 400,000 coins?
"Did you obtain it yourself?"
"I didn't steal it."
"..."
Tick, tock.
The sound of the clock hands walked over the silence.
Roje, holding the Pixie Powder, stared at Eunha with a peculiar gaze.
Finally, Eunha, unable to wait any longer, parted her lips first.
"So, is that amount enough."
The moment the calm voice reached her ears, Roje snapped back to her senses.
"...Yes, very much so."
Roje, seeming to hesitate for a moment, slowly parted her lips.
"There's one thing I want to ask."
Putting down the Pixie Powder she was holding for a moment, Roje stared blankly at Eunha.
"Are you, by any chance..."
However, before finishing her words, Roje closed her mouth.
"...?"
Eunha, looking at Roje with a questioning gaze.
Roje shook her head with a faint smile.
"No, it's nothing."
Are you really F-Class?
She was about to ask that.
But what good would asking do?
The accuracy of the measuring device owned by the Korean Hunter Association was internationally recognized.
It wasn't just once or twice that Yoo Hwan had been mistaken...
If, by some one-in-a-million chance, she was truly hiding her strength, she wouldn't answer honestly anyway.
Most importantly, what mattered most at this moment wasn't her rank.
"Pixie Powder, I've received it for sure. This amount is sufficient."
Roje, caressing the Pixie Powder, glanced at Eunha.
"But are you sure? Just handing this over."
Roje knew very well the value of this white powder.
And that it wasn't an item to be carelessly handed over to someone else like this.
However, Eunha nodded without deep thought.
"Yes."
It was Roje who was more surprised by the all-too-easy reply.
Eunha added.
"Because we're family."
"Family?"
Roje, blinking slowly, then said with a faint smile.
"That's not what I meant."
Roje gently brushed the fine powder in the pouch with her finger.
"I mean, what if I just take this and feign ignorance."
"You wouldn't do that."
This time too, Eunha answered without hesitation.
"You said doctors can't save everyone, but you didn't say you couldn't save him."
"..."
Beyond the rimless glasses, Roje's gaze met Eunha's.
The fingers caressing the white powder suddenly stopped.
"All I could do was get this. From now on, I have no choice but to leave it to you."
Having said that, Eunha slowly turned her back.
Just before grabbing the doorknob, she turned her head for the last time.
"Please take good care of him."
Click.
The door closed.
She had really just handed over a relic-grade item so easily and left.
Roje stared blankly at the Pixie Powder placed before her.
'Actually, I wasn't the one who obtained the Ocean's Tear. Not Do Sungyoon, not Heo Jaemin, nor anyone else from Immortal.'
Suddenly, Yoo Hwan's voice brushed past her ears.
With eyes that held no hint of a joke, he had clearly said this.
'The Princess of Dark Flare. Was an F-Class concept hunter contracted with Wolf.'
Srrrk—
Pixie Powder slipping through her fingers.
Roje, without moving from her spot, stared blankly at it for a long time.
