Ask about the details of the auction
📍 Jarilo-VI Boulder Town
You're informed that an auction will be held by the "Wildfire" in the underworld.
For more details, you need to consult the auction staff in Boulder Town. Go there if you're interested.

Hook's Gift
Auction Staff
Love at first sight, sold at first strike! The Wildfire used item auction is opening soon! If you're interested, head down to the vagrant camp and get involved!
Auction Staff
Outsider! I remember you. Perhaps you're hoping to find some treasures at the auction, too?
Options
What kind of treasures can I find there?
No, not interested...
Auction Staff
Don't just dash off! Let me tell you about it. I'm sure I can stoke your interest...
Auction Staff
We're not sticklers at this auction — you'll find everything from exotic Belobog rarities to tattered roadside socks!
Options
Why is Wildfire hosting an auction?
Who's going to the auction?
How will the auction be held?
What kind of treasures can I find at the auction?
Auction Staff
Oh after Wildfire got involved in the maintenance of the vagrant camp, they saw there was a big resource distribution problem. People would rather keep a stockpile of useless objects than exchange them for useful resources.
Auction Staff
So we intend to hold a public auction. It will allow folks to make the best use of the stuff they have by exchanging it for stuff they need.
Auction Staff
It's mostly vagrants from the camp, but Boulder Town residents are welcome to join as well, of course!
Auction Staff
The more attendees we have, the more items there will be for trade, and the better we can meet the auction's goal!
Auction Staff
Buyers and sellers must all register their personal information. To ensure the quality of items, the sellers must also register details for each item.
Auction Staff
Then there's the standard auction procedure. The auctioneer presents the items, and the bidders place their bids on the spot... Pretty straightforward, don't you think?
Auction Staff
Oh plenty! Gloves used by Chief Oleg, the domestic robot that Miss Fidora built...
Auction Staff
There are lots of prospectors hunting for ancient relics in the vagrant camp, so there should be a lot of unique items at this auction. For example, I heard that one of the goods up for auction is a barely used Geomarrow Probe...
Options
Geomarrow Probe?
Auction Staff
Ah, never heard of a treasure like that before, huh? More excited about the auction now?
Auction Staff
Oh, here — take this pamphlet. It has more information on all the rarities up for auction. Remember to stop by the vagrant camp! Be there or be square!

Tell Hook about the auction
You didn't expect to find a probe for the vein detector at this auction. This is a great gift, so you decide to tell Hook about it.
Now you can sell the toy bear "Junjun" and buy a perfect gift. Great!

I should tell Hook about the Geomarrow Probe... She might want to help Fersman get his treasure back.

Take a pamphlet, have a look, and don't lose it! Remember to stop by the vagrant camp for the auction. Be there or be square!
Hook
Ah, honorary member! I was just about to go see you!
Options
What's up, Pitch-Dark Hook the Great?
I have to tell you something first.
Hook
Daddy's already planned his birthday party, but I haven't been able to sell Junjun... or buy a gift for him.
Hook
What should I do? Honorary member — you think of something!
Options
We should go get your dad's probe back.
Hook
Ah! I was just about to ask you about the probe!
Hook
Honorary member, you found some clues?
Hook
Huh? What's so urgent? Spit it out!
Options
I know where Fersman's probe is...
Hook
Ah! How did you know what I was thinking? Hook was about to ask you about the probe!
Hook
Honorary member, you found some clues?

Hook
The auction... So... that's where the probe is!?
Options
Do you know what "auction" means?
The bad news is you'll have to compete with other bidders...
Hook
Hmph! Do you think Hook's stupid or something?
Hook
At the auction, I can sell Junjun AND buy a birthday gift for daddy... Yeah!
Hook
That's nothing — you're here too! I've got the honorary member here to help me with the bidding!
Hook
Junjun is still with the old witch. Let's go get him and then register for the auction!
Return to the clinic, find Natasha, and get the toy bear
📍 Jarilo-VI Natasha's Clinic
To get "Junjun," you have to return to the clinic. Maybe Natasha will teach Hook another lesson.
But an auction is much safer than the Fragmentum, so Natasha might agree to let you go. Wait, perhaps you shouldn't reveal the truth to her...

About Junjun...
Hook
Stupid, witchy old... Natasha! Hehe, h—have you finished fixing Junjun?
Natasha
Oh, your teddy bear? Hehe... He's nearly done. Here, take a look at him.
Hook
Wow... He looks brand-new! Natasha, you're incredible.
Natasha
Glad to be of service. Now then... did you really bring {NICKNAME} over here with you just to pick up Junjun? Come on now, what are you guys up to this time?
Hook
We're going to the auct...
Hook
Ah... n—no! That's not what we're going to do!
Options
We're going to the auction...
We're going to look for Julian and play hide-and seek-with him.
We're not up to anything!
Hook
Hey! You bigmouth!
Natasha
...The auction, the one at the vagrant camp?
Hook
Uh... yeah, that's right!
Natasha
The auction... right Hook? The one at the vagrant camp?
Natasha
...You've been spending too much time with Hook.
Natasha
The auction... right Hook? The one at the vagrant camp?
Natasha
So you made me go through all this effort to repair Junjun just so you could sell him...?
Hook
I... uh... Psst, honorary member! Think of something!
Options
Commencing plan "think of something."
I think we should give up...
Natasha
Hehe, you two make an adorable duo.
Natasha
I was only joking, Hook. Junjun is yours, and it's entirely up to you what you do with him. But you must make one promise to me...
Hook
Wh—What is it?
Natasha
Don't go charging into the Fragmentum again. Mr. Fersman heard about what you did and came to me to find out what happened.
Natasha
Your dad worries about you — stop giving him reasons to.
Hook
Daddy... Aw... Okay, I swear I'll never make Natasha or daddy worry again.
Natasha
{NICKNAME}, I'm going to have to trouble you to keep an eye on this kid again. You seem to be doing a good job, so I'll leave it at that.
Natasha
Off you go then, and good luck.
Hook
Thanks, Natasha! Honorary member, let's head to the auction!
Talk to the auctioneer to learn more details
📍 Jarilo-VI Robot Settlement
To sell "Junjun" at a good price, you need to figure out the rules of this auction. Asking the auctioneer is a wise choice.
After all, you need to register this toy bear, and preparation is necessary if you want a decent result.

Hook's Gift
Auctioneer
Welcome! Are you here to take part in the auction?
Hook
Yep! Hook wants to auction this teddy bear!
Auctioneer
Teddy bear? How about I take a look at it first, little missy...
Auctioneer
Hm... With all due respect, I don't think this item will generate much interest at the auction... I don't see any value in it.
Options
Actually, this bear is worth quite a lot of money.
Auctioneer
Hm, let me take another look... The craftsmanship is excellent, and the fabric is soft... but I'm afraid that won't command a high price on its own.
Options
Take a closer look at the eyes...
Call yourself an auctioneer?
Auctioneer
The eyes... wait a minute, that's natural erebus! Haha, what are precious gems doing on such an ugly teddy?
Hook
Hey, who are you calling ugly? Take that back!
Auctioneer
Well, well, well, who'd have thought it... Allow me to make a suggestion — you should only auction off the gems.
Hook
What are you talking about? You can't just take Junjun's eyes off!
Auctioneer
...Alright, alright, don't get upset, little missy! I'll respect the wish of the owner and keep Junjun here intact.
Auctioneer
Please sign this commodity contract here...
Hook
Let me do it!
Auctioneer
And if you and your friend would like to bid, please fill out this buyer registration form as well.
Hook
Of course we'd like to bid! I'll sign again! {NICKNAME}, ask about the probe!
Auctioneer
Probe? Are you talking about the Geomarrow Probe? As far as I know, there are a lot of people interested in acquiring that device. The estimated sale price is no less than 600 shield.
Options
That's a lot of money!
That's chump change!
Hook
Stop bluffing!
Auctioneer
Because it's a rare and useful treasure, the Geomarrow Probe will be up for bidding in the final round of the auction.
Auctioneer
But don't worry, the gems on your teddy bear are also very valuable. You'll have the chance to bid on the probe if someone's willing to pay a high price for him.
Options
I'm great at bidding a price up!
He doesn't seem like he'll fetch too high a price.
Auctioneer
Oh? Then we'll be counting on you.
Auctioneer
Don't be so pessimistic!
Auctioneer
I'll tell you a secret... the more bidders there are, the more you can get for your bear here. This place is teeming with potential buyers. It only takes a gentle nudge to get them to join in.
Hook
Hook doesn't get it. What are we supposed to do?
Options
Persuade them with true love.
Deceive them with charismatic rhetoric.
Threaten them with hardball tactics.
Hook
Is "true love" really that useful? Hee-hee!
Hook
Hmm, I won't be much help then. Hook never deceives anyone!
Hook
Yay! Diggertron's all set and ready to go!
Hook
Let's ask around. Junjun's super cute — I'm sure there'll be loads of people interested in buying him.
Weird Man
Don't try making conversation with me! I don't trust anyone here!
Weird Man
I'm warning you, there's only one winner at an auction — everyone here is one of my competitors!
Options
Did you... hit your head?
Well, at least it's a friendly crowd.
Hook
What a weird man...
Weird Man
Hmph, I'll take that as a compliment! You think I can't hear you, you little brat?
Weird Man
Haha, you think you can fool me? The friendlier they are on the outside, the more devious they are on the inside!
Hook
Seems like this guy's got a real bad temper...
Weird Man
Temper? What temper? I'm perfectly calm, thank you!
Weird Man
You're sellers, right? I just caught sight of a teddy bear on the bid list. Is that yours?
Weird Man
Hmph, you two with your poker faces... You've got a trick up your sleeves with that bear?
Hook
...This guy thinks that the whole world is against him... What should we do, honorary member?
Options
The bear is garbage. Don't bid on it.
Just ignore him...
Let him buy Junjun.
Weird Man
...Trying to dupe me into not bidding on it, huh? Fine, then I will bid for it! I won't let this opportunity slip!
Weird Man
Don't want me to profit from your item, huh? Well in that case, I'm definitely gonna solve the mystery of your teddy bear, haha!
Hook
But I don't wanna sell Junjun to such a weirdo...
Weird Man
...Don't want me to profit from your item, huh? Well in that case, I'll just have to place a bid and solve the mystery of your teddy bear, hahaha!
Hook
What a weirdo... Anyway, at least we've tricked him into bidding for it!
Gemologist
Well, look at that. That's no ordinary teddy bear...
Options
You sure about that?
Because its eyes are erebus?
Gemologist
Oh! Uh... sorry, I was in a bit of a trance. I didn't know someone was about to strike up a conversation.
Gemologist
Huh, you don't look like you'll be bidding on much, so I'll tell you... That teddy bear's eyes are genuine erebus!
Gemologist
...Wait, how did you know that!? Unless you're... a fellow gemologist?
Gemologist
Ahem, yes... I didn't think anyone else had noticed. *sigh* I guess getting my hands on those gems won't be so simple after all...
Gemologist
But it's so absurd... I don't understand why precious gems would be sewn onto a teddy bear. Is this some new kind of scam?
Hook
...So you don't think Junjun deserves those gems?
Gemologist
Hehe, Junjun? Who's that?
Options
No one! This kid's always spouting nonsense...
We are, in fact, the bear's sellers.
Gemologist
It's okay, I didn't take it to heart.
Gemologist
Oh, haha, wh—why didn't you bring that up earlier? Your item has piqued my curiosity.
Gemologist
In any case, erebus of that purity is hard to come by in the Underworld. I have to get my hands on that bear, even if it means breaking the bank! Ha...
Hook
Hmph, Junjun will break your bank for sure.
{NICKNAME}
(The gemologist will be bidding too. Hook's teddy bear may be the center of attention.)
Reticent Vagrant
...
Options
Are you interested in the teddy bear?
Reticent Vagrant
...Uh...uh...
Options
He sure is cute and cuddly!
Not interested? Sorry for bothering you...
Reticent Vagrant
I...
Hook
His design is super cute and he's really really soft! You can't help but give him a biiiig hug!
Hook
You'll have sweet dreams every night as long as Junjun's by your side! Intrigued...?
Options
(Keep staring at him and wait for him to speak.)
Not interested? Sorry for bothering you...
Reticent Vagrant
Hm... I... hm...
Reticent Vagrant
...
Hook
According to the old witch, some people aren't good at talking in front of other people. Why not ask him to write his thoughts down?
Options
(Give him a pen and paper.)
No need, he doesn't look interested.
Reticent Vagrant
Mm? *sigh*
Reticent Vagrant
...Here.
Options
..."Not interested"?
Apologies. We'll leave now.
Reticent Vagrant
Right...

Auction Staff
Outsider? I knew you'd show up. We met before, remember?
Options
You gave me the pamphlet...
Who are you?
Auction Staff
That's right, so you do remember me!
Auction Staff
...You don't remember me? How saddening... Anyway, it doesn't matter. Let's get down to business.
Auction Staff
You've obviously come here for the Geomarrow Probe, right?
Options
How did you know?
No, of course not...
Auction Staff
Hey, there are lots of people here who want the same thing as you.
Auction Staff
Do you remember Balaway the Miner's Lamp? He told me everything.
Auction Staff
Hey, why so tense? I'm not here to elicit information from you. Forget it, pretend I didn't say anything...
Auction Staff
By the way, I'm looking for Gertie, manager of the Goethe Grand Hotel. Please tell me if you see her.
Auction Staff
Gertie's niece will be returning to Boulder Town in a few days. She asked me a while ago if there were any gifts suitable for children at the auction.
Auction Staff
I've noticed there are a few more children's items at the auction today, but I haven't seen Gertie anywhere... She hasn't returned to Boulder Town yet, has she? It would be a shame if she couldn't make it to the auction...
{NICKNAME}
(So Gertie's hunting for children's toys? Maybe we can persuade her to bid on Hook's teddy bear too.)
(Optional) Find a potential buyer and talk to Gertie of the Goethe Grand Hotel
📍 Jarilo-VI Boulder Town
You heard that Aunt Gertie was going to buy a toy, but she returned to Boulder Town because she found nothing attractive. This is your chance!
You're going to tell Gertie that "Junjun" is being auctioned, and she's not going to want to miss out!
You're going to tell Gertie that "Junjun" is being auctioned, and she's not going to want to miss out!
About the auction...
Gertie
Oh, what about the auction?
Gertie
I wanted to go and see whether there were any gifts, toys, or dolls that my niece might like. I didn't mind if they were a little more expensive than usual, I just wanted her to be happy.
Gertie
So, I got up early this morning and went to take a look around — turns out all the items were ancient relics. There was something called a Geomarrow Probe. It all sounded a little extreme... I went around the whole venue and couldn't find what I was looking for, so I came back early.
Options
They've added some new kid-friendly items.
Kids today like things that are a little more "extreme"...
Hook
That's right, my teddy bear is one of them! Your niece will love him!
Hook
Huh? Y—Yeah, that's right! Hook spotted loads of cool stuff at the auction!
Hook
For example, there's this teddy bear called Junjun! Your niece will love him!
Gertie
Oh really? I guess I must've missed the latest additions... In that case, I'll finish up here and head back to the vagrant camp. Thanks so much for letting me know!

Careless Vagrant
The teddy bear? I've seen it. The one with the erebus eyes, right? I was planning on bidding for it...
Options
But not anymore?
Careless Vagrant
...Correct. I rushed over here from a neighboring town and forgot my darn wallet!
Hook
...Well, that really can't be helped!
Careless Vagrant
But I also have my own items to auction and a commodity contract. If I can sell my stuff at a good price, I might be able to afford the bear.
Hook
So? What's the catch?
Careless Vagrant
The catch is I... lost the contract!
Hook
...Well, that really can't be helped!
Careless Vagrant
Not so fast! I... I know where the contract is.
Options
This is a heck of a way to tell a story...
...And?
Careless Vagrant
A robot stole my contract. Now it's lurking somewhere in the machine graveyard, and I'm too terrified to go after it.
Careless Vagrant
*sigh* Just my luck... If I can't retrieve the contract, I won't be able to buy that bear...
Hook
Is this the "contact" that careless guy lost? Let's give it back to him!
(Optional) Find a potential buyer and return the contract to whoever lost it
You find a name on the contract... Is he the poor soul whose contract was stolen by this robot? You'd better find him.
If you return this contract to him, maybe he'll participate in the auction for "Junjun." This sounds scheming, but maybe it will work!

Options
Excuse me ma'am, you've got the wrong kid.
Hook, is this your grandma?
I'M your grandchild!
Old Lady With Poor Eyesight
This is my flesh and blood! How could I possibly... Come on, let grandma see that cute little face...

Nonsense, how could I mistake my own flesh and blood? Come on, let grandma see that cute little face...

As someone with a high sense of responsibility, you need to be sure that the old lady has found her grandson.
Perhaps she will buy "Junjun" out of joy... This sounds unrealistic, but who knows?

Hey! What are you doing!? You're making Hook angry!
