26 25

When I realized that I could divert any item I wanted, a gift BOX in VMB's system, as an item box, I decided to think about the time I'd say it was still before noon and go to the Marida Chamber of Commerce before the dinner I promised Ashley, and talk about how I no longer had to consider the size and weight of the exploration tools I had been asking to carry, and what tools I'd given up not being able to afford to carry.

"Hello ~"

"Welcome, Mr. Schwartz"

Greeting the usual employees, who were no longer getting familiar with their faces, and asking if Mr. Malta was there, he was put through to the usual back room. The fortified city of Barga, also known as the labyrinth city, is full of martial arts stores, tool shops, blacksmiths, etc., but only used the stores of the Marida Chamber of Commerce, something I said since I met Mr. Malta.

Well, sometimes when I come here, I say I can have a good cup of tea.

"Ho, is this dark color fumizuki tea?

Today's tea brought to me by the employee was a dark green, sweet and fragrant tea with incense of fire.

"Did you also like the tea of the day? Only the soft spot of the buds is steamed over time with plenty of steam."

Marta is the one who came in saying that, he's still rocking his round belly today with Nico and a soft smile.

"I like this strong fragrance, you won't know if you're coming to Malta to buy or sell tools and ingredients or to have a delicious cup of tea."

"Ha, about Mr. Schwartz, you can enjoy choosing the tea you serve. So, are you selling demon stones today?

"Yeah, there's that, too, but what about the tools I've been asking for? I've got something like a tool bag for adventurers, so I'd like to ask for some extra big camping tools and equipment."

"Something like that? We have all the tools. It took me a while, but I also received a water bottle from Wang Du that could replenish the water with just the demon stone of the water."

Food and water are the things you will really need to explore the labyrinth. These two are bulky amounts to carry, and if you reduce them, they are life-threatening, so you have to have enough.

However, for me to not be able to use the tool bag, I really needed to have a valuable magic item to hold these. Water bottles, which are automatically replenished with demonic stones of water in particular, were also highly popular from adventurers and were not found inside in the fortified city of Barga. In the end, I bought it from Wangdu via Mr. Malta.

I sold the Demon Stone I found in yesterday's labyrinth expedition, paid for it and the silver coins I had in hand, and paid for the tools I had prepared. They'll have all the tools for the extra order soon, too, but if you pay so far, that'll blow up your meal bill tonight, so I'll see you later.

When I asked Marta to bring me the tools I had asked for, I asked for payment from an employee other than Marta and picked up a gift BOX in the reception room.

"Ko, is this Mr. Schwartz's toolbag like...?

"Yes, the original name is different, but shall I just say the tool” box ”? I'll take care of this, thanks for the extra minutes."

"Yeah, yeah, I'll let you have that, of course, but what the hell comes out of nothing...?

"Think of it as a... 'exorcism' deceased skill"

"No, Mr. Schwartz just startled me...... by the way, how long does this toolbox go in?

"You can ignore 30 items in number and size: 99 items per item for 1 item, 100 or more items for 2 items."

"Oh, my God! Are you so into this box!

Since the gift BOX can be placed in a single box in multiple persons, there was room for the number of items that could be placed. And you can stack up to 99 pieces per item to VMB specifications.

And more importantly, this gift BOX can be held in duplicate within my inventory, which means I was getting an infinitely equal amount of item storage.

Hearing my explanation, Mr. Marta's eyes are changing from Nico's to sharp merchant's. Of course, I was blurring the details of "Demonic Exorcism", but I smelled like Marta possessed lineage skills.

But that was only Mr Malta, who had asked other Marida Chamber of Commerce officials and others not to speak.

Not that I trust this guy fully, but he was one of the few same-sex people I've ever known in this other world, and he was like a friend.

"Mr. Schwartz, it was just D-rank, wasn't it?

"Yes, it will remain D-rank, because I don't think I will be very active as an adventurer, as I will focus on exploring the labyrinth in the future, so I guess the rank will go up for the time being"

"That's too bad. When it comes to the C-rank, it is added that it is a request for nomination. Via the General Guild, you make a request to an individual adventurer, but Mr. Schwartz's toolbox is coveted by the eyes of a merchant. Serving in large quantities and ignoring size, yet disappearing when transporting. I mean, it's great from a crime prevention standpoint or from a traffic standpoint. If you have the opportunity, we would really like you to cooperate with our Marida Chamber of Commerce in the transport of goods."

"I see... well, if you get a chance..."

I answered that, but Mr. Marta's sharp eyes kept staring at my toolbox, until it turned into an inventory and became a particle of light and disappeared.

◆◆◇◆◆◇◆◆

The castle of the lord in the fortified city of Barga, the castle of Bardege, has a tower with a large fishing bell, which rings three times a day, noon and evening. The promise to Mr. Ashley is in the evening, so you should wait in front of the overall guild by the time the evening bell rings.

Would you have waited about half an hour or so, the evening bell rings in the fortified city of Barga, the time it appears on the head goggle is 17: 00. Will there be a regular workplace at this time, from several buildings on the premises of the Parallax and General Guild, a pair, a threesome, or a single person, a group that will be going out for dinner, and me heading into the city?

I was waiting for Mr. Ashley at the gate of the General Alliance premises. As if waiting for someone in a comic book or a gale, I kept my back on the gatepost and watched this otherworldly people flowing.

Ordinary people, in this other world, seem to be going to be a common race, and I'm going to be this universal race, too. Will I be able to live in this other world, where the beast race, fairy species such as elves and dwarves, and various races live, starting with its universal race?

When I was about to get sentimental like that again, I could see Mr. Ashley's, blonde hair shining beyond words. It is illuminated by the falling sunlight and shines in gold and red.

"Did I make you wait?

Mr. Ashley's words felt more shattered than usual. I was blinded by the brilliance of Mr. Ashley's hair, and I was returning it to that tone the same way.

"No, I'm not waiting. Let's go eat."

"Yes, but where are you going? As soon as the evening bell rings, every store is crowded."

"I asked Marta about the delicious store. I made an appointment before I got here, so you can take your time."

With that said, I took Mr. Ashley and walked to a pleasure street that stretched south of Barga.
