Chapter 294 Treasure Chest ②
Part 2
Apparently, the shock of being late to react to the treasure chest was greater than being angry. Even though it suddenly happened in the Clan House, Treasure Shrines are not the only place where Hunters have to fight.
Even surrounded by those it swallowed, the treasure chest didn’t seem to make a fuss.? And no matter how bloodthirsty they are――Sven and the others wouldn’t take revenge on a mere object.
“But…… A 『Magic Bag』 that can hold living things………… If you sell it, you would be able to make another Clan House.” (Eva)
“And the capacity isn’t a joke. It was able to have all of us inside.” (Lyle)
Lyle and the others look at the treasure chest with an eerie look. It is true…… But am I the only one who thinks that swallowing a person whole on its own is a fatal flaw? Especially if they can’t get out from inside.
A carpet that doesn’t carry you is out of the question, but it seems that being too faithful to one’s duties is also not necessarily only beneficial.
Contrary to those who had lost their confidence, Liz, who didn’t change much, said.
“Y’know, Cry-chan. I could get out, you know? But since Ti~ was there when I tried to grab her, the exit closed――” (Liz)
I looked at Tino, but Tino only *bikubiku* shivered and turned away, saying nothing.
Well, it can’t be helped for Tino…… She was suddenly eaten from behind. Maybe she was mistaken for a thief because she unlocked it without a key.
“But it’s definitely a big place. There was…… A town inside…… But Cry-chan pulled me out before I could explore.” (Liz)
“A town? There was a town!?” (Cry)
What the hell is it eating, this box? And how much capacity does it have……
Magic Bags are already sold at high prices. With this much capacity, how much would it be worth…… Come to think of it, isn’t it because it swallowed everyone that the existence of a Magic Bag that swallows living things has never been made public?
It is the greatest discovery of the century, but it is too much. As I *ponpon* pat the perfect treasure chest, Eva, who has put her glasses properly, says.
“Cry-san, do you intend to sell it to the Chamber of Commerce or any other company?” (Eva)
“No………… I won’t sell it, why the question?” (Cry)
“Nothing………… It is because it seems like it would be able to break the economy.” (Eva)
Certainly, even a typical Magic Bag would have quite an impact on distribution, but if the capacity were to be that large, it would cause all kinds of problems. I can think of multiple ways to do this.
For example, I know………… You can drain all the water from a pond……
I got something outrageous. I’ll let you fight against the carpet next time, yup.
And there, Liz let out a frenzied voice as if she had realized something.
“………… Areeeeh? Could it be that this is the end of my turn? Why? What about the curse? Cry-chan, isn’t mine the only one that has a small scale!?” (Liz)
“Eeeeeh…” (Cry)
Why curse…… Why would you want something like that? Everyone else has it bad and you want to have it bad too, are you Luke or what? ………… Ah, she is Luke (On a mental level).
As Liz starts to make a fuss, Sven and the others stand up in dismay.
“If you want to kick up some fuss, do it by yourself. Damn, causing so much trouble………… Marietta, we are hitting the training ground!” (Sven)
“Let’s retrain ourselves a bit. I never thought I’d be eaten by a treasure chest in the Clan House…… What would you do if we were traumatized?” (Lyle)
Lyle, the one with the least motivation in the Clan, sighs and stands up. I was almost traumatized too……
“Me too…… I am also going to take a break.” (Eva)
Even Eva abandoned me, leaving only Liz, who was making a fuss,? Tino, the treasure chest, and me. It’s okay, take a good rest. I am used to this kind of thing.
Everyone went through a traumatic experience, but only Liz is in good spirits.
Liz begged me while leaning on my back.
“Neeeeh, Cry-chan! One more time! Let me try one more time~! I’ll never fail this time~! Neeeeh!” (Liz)
No, it is not like it is over because you fail or something………… Moreover, what did you fail?
In the first place, I didn’t give you that treasure chest with that intention!
How can I persuade her…… Would she be in a good mood if I let her play me around to her heart’s content? When I was at her mercy, Liz, who was *gyugyu* pushing her chest tightly against my back, stopped and looked at Tino.
At her strong gaze, Tino *bikuri* twitches and averts her eyes.? Come to think of it, she has been strangely quiet since she came out of the box……
“Ti~, aren’t you hiding something?” (Liz)
“Eh………… Uhm………… Wh-What are you talking about…… Onee-sama?” (Tino)
Her eyes were completely shaking left and right. Thieves are usually good at lying, but is she like this because of the ingrained hierarchical relationship?
Once Liz puts her lips on the nape of my neck and detaches herself from me, she smiles and walks towards Tino while clenching her fist. Tino *kyorokyoro* looked around like she was desperate, and jumped in here as if she had made up her mind.
“Masteeeeeeeeeeer~! Please take this, Master~!” (Tino)
As Liz stares at her in wonder, she sweeps Tino’s leg. Tino *bitan* slammed face-first into the floor right in front of me.
Her hand was clenching onto something in her outstretched arm. Tino looked up and opened her hand in front of me, showing no sign of pain.
An old ring *koron* rolls out from her hand. It is a ring with a wood-like texture, covered with strange patterns. From its atmosphere, it is definitely a Relic.
I picked it up and held it in front of me. Tino said while her eyes were shaking left and right.
“I-It was lying around, so I just jumped on it………… But then the exit closed……” (Tino)
“Haaaaaaaaaaaaa? D-Don’t tell me, Ti~…… You took my rooole!?” (Liz)
“B-But I didn’t kno――Hih” (Tino)
Our Tino has become completely like Liz. Or rather, it is amazing to go for the ring after weighing the ring and the exit. She is completely a Thief already.
Liz is stunned. Apparently, she was so shocked that she forgot to even get angry.
This is…… If I don’t do a follow-up for Tino, it is likely that she will end up in a terrible situation that I can’t even imagine.
I put on the ring I had just been given and said before Liz came to her senses.
“E-Everything is, as I expected. Look, Liz, calm down, calm down.” (Cry)
“………… Eh? Everything is as you expected? So I don’t have to kill Ti~?” (Liz)
“Un, un, that’s right.” (Cry)
Tino turned pale.? It is really amazing that she has developed a rebellious spirit despite being thoroughly disciplined by her Onee-sama.
However, now is not the time to be happy about her growth. I have to distract Liz.
“Look, calm down, Liz. I-I know――How about exploring the town? I don’t know who built it, but it is a town inside a box. I am sure there is something interesting――” (Cry)
And then, I looked at the box.
A town inside a box…… We don’t know who built it…………?
Liz blinks her eyes. I silently approach the treasure chest in front of Tino, who is now *daradara* sweating profusely, open the lid and insert my arm inside.
Of course, I knew what to say.
“People who have gone missing in church, come out. People who have gone missing in church, come out……” (Cry)
