Chapter 294 Treasure Chest 2

Part 1

“C-Cry-san............ Wh-What is this............” (Eva)

Unusually for Eva, she looked up at me without even trying to hide her agitation. I tried to tell her to calm down, but I was so restless that I choked.

It’s okay, it’s okay. Liz has survived being swallowed whole by a dragon before, so she shouldn’t be swayed by being eaten by a treasure chest like that. For Tino...... Good luck!

I mean, what, the heck, is that?

I observe the man-eating treasure chest, which is as ordinary as any treasure chest can be.

It is true that there are monsters that mimic treasure chests, but to think Liz, who has gone through numerous battlefields and honed her ability to sense danger, was fooled so easily――.

Calm down, calm down me. There’s nothing I can do about it anyway, no matter how hard I try. It is more likely that Liz will do her best and come out of it.

“I-I will call someone...... I think Ark-san will be able to break that thing!” (Eva)

“!!” (Cry)

That is............ A nice idea. How in the world is Eva calmer than me, who is supposed to have been through many battlefields......

Eva slowly, slowly approached the entrance with her eyes locked on the treasure chest. And then at the moment she starts running, she was eaten by the treasure box, which instantly closed the distance from behind her. I’m gonna puke.

“.................. Oh damn, that is going to appear in my nightmares. Y...... You are a very gluttonous box. How much can you hold?” (Cry)

It resumes its mimicry as a treasure chest once again. You are out...... You are totally out!

If even Ark is eaten by this, it would be too unbearable to look. Or rather, the amount it ate was obviously larger than the size of the box......

And, at that moment, Lyle and his Party entered through the entrance.

“Geh, Cry, you were here...... What’s that? A treasure chest...... Uwaaa......!” (Lyle)

Before I could say anything, the treasure chest suddenly jumped at them from the front and swallowed Lyle and his group whole. They didn’t even try to escape, so why............ No way, are you going to erase all the witnesses?

It is all my fault. Just because I was fascinated by that cool appearance――.

“Oh, Cry, what are you doing all alon――” (Sven)

I opened the chocolate bar and bit into it. Sweetness fills my mouth.

Just when I wanted some tea, I finally came to my senses.

I don’t need one with the ability to swallow a thief or someone who tries to break it! I hurriedly put my arm inside the treasure chest.

“Eva...... I want Eva, I want Eva......” (Cry)

Something soft and warm touches the tip of my hand, I grip it tightly and pull it out of the treasure chest with all my strength. Eva appears from the darkness.

The Eva that was taken out was confused and *petan* sat flat on the floor for a while, but eventually, she realized what was going on and exhaled deeply. It is very rare that her glasses are misaligned.

“I...... I thought I was going to die...... It was so dark inside...... And I couldn’t even see where I was going............” (Eva)

Thank goodness...... She is alive. Apparently, it doesn’t affect memory or anything else. The fact that even I was able to pull one person up must be because of a function of the treasure chest. It is too excellent.

She must have been very scared because there were tears in the corner of her eyes. I immediately told her.

“............ It is a “Magic Bag (Space-Time Bag)”, so there is no way you will die because of it.” (Cry)

“!? Th-This is a “Magic Bag (Space-Time Bag)”!? Haaaa!? Y-You should have told me first! I was really scared!” (Eva)

Eva approaches while shouting in a high-pitched voice. Apparently, she seems to be better. While apologizing, I inwardly felt relieved.

I was really scared too. Liz and the others are Hunters, but Eva is a staff member. The amount of Mana Materials they absorbed isn’t comparable, it was so scary. Moreover, the Barrier Ring I gave her was useless!

Was the reason why it didn’t eat me because it had watched the church give it to me, so I became the owner...... Or is it because............. I praised it?

............ This treasure chest is kind of frivolous, isn’t it.

I took a deep breath and stuck my arm in while muttering a name.

“I want Liz. I want Liz......” (Cry)

TL notes:

Thanks for reading!

Of course Cry would be able to successfully tame it with a choco bar

And poor Eva, she still got eaten, but a “Magic Bag” huh...

I wonder what Cry will find inside

Tchao à plus!
