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.

Auction Staff
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
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
Auction Staff
Don't just dash off! Let me tell you about it. I'm sure I can stoke your interest...
Auction Staff
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
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
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
Auction Staff
It's mostly vagrants from the camp, but Boulder Town residents are welcome to join as well, of course!
Auction Staff
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
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
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
Auction Staff
Oh plenty! Gloves used by Chief Oleg, the domestic robot that Miss Fidora built...
Auction Staff
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
Auction Staff
Ah, never heard of a treasure like that before, huh? More excited about the auction now?
Auction Staff
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.

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
Hook
Stupid, witchy old... Natasha! Hehe, h—have you finished fixing Junjun?
Natasha
Natasha
Oh, your teddy bear? Hehe... He's nearly done. Here, take a look at him.
Hook
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?

We're going to the auct...

Hook
Ah... n—no! That's not what we're going to do!

So you made me go through all this effort to repair Junjun just so you could sell him...?

Commencing plan "think of something."
I think we should give up...
Natasha
Natasha
Hehe, you two make an adorable duo.
Natasha
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
Hook
Wh—What is it?
Natasha
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
Natasha
Your dad worries about you — stop giving him reasons to.
Hook
Hook
Daddy... Aw... Okay, I swear I'll never make Natasha or daddy worry again.
Natasha
Natasha

Off you go then, and good luck.

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.

Auctioneer
Auctioneer
Welcome! Are you here to take part in the auction?
Hook
Hook
Yep! Hook wants to auction this teddy bear!
Auctioneer
Auctioneer
Teddy bear? How about I take a look at it first, little missy...
Auctioneer
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
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
Auctioneer
The eyes... wait a minute, that's natural erebus! Haha, what are precious gems doing on such an ugly teddy?
Hook
Hook
Hey, who are you calling ugly? Take that back!
Auctioneer
Auctioneer
Well, well, well, who'd have thought it... Allow me to make a suggestion — you should only auction off the gems.
Hook
Hook
What are you talking about? You can't just take Junjun's eyes off!

...Alright, alright, don't get upset, little missy! I'll respect the wish of the owner and keep Junjun here intact.

Auctioneer
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
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
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.

I'm great at bidding a price up!
He doesn't seem like he'll fetch too high a price.

Oh? Then we'll be counting on you.

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.

Is "true love" really that useful? Hee-hee!

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

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
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
Hook
...So you don't think Junjun deserves those gems?
Gemologist
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.

Oh, haha, wh—why didn't you bring that up earlier? Your item has piqued my curiosity.

{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!
About the auction...
Gertie
Gertie
Oh, what about the auction?
Gertie
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
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"...

That's right, my teddy bear is one of them! Your niece will love 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!
