Chapter 293.2: Treasure Chest

It seems that even a contractor who was used to repairing our Clan House found it difficult to repair the half-destroyed Lounge in such a short time. As Tino said, the famous Lounge was still in tatters. There are large cracks on the floor and the tables have been cleared. As expected, in the current state, it seems that it cannot function as a place to relax, and there is no sign of any Clan Members even though they were always present there in large numbers.

However, this did not seem to matter to Liz.

It was placed majestically at the center of the Lounge, and with sparkling eyes, she let out a happy voice.

*Kyaaaa*! What's this, it's amaaazing! A treasure chest~! (Liz)

It is indeed a treasure chest, Onee-sama! And what's more Isn't it one from a Treasure Shrine-san? (Tino)

It must be a genuine product from a Treasure Shrine-san. It has that unique impact. (Eva)

With Eva's endorsement, Tino looks at me with a little envy.

It was not a very fancy one, but it was a basic and perfect treasure chest. It had a wooden structure with rusty metallic frames. A large padlock was attached to it. It was large enough to hold Liz and Tino together, but heavy enough for me to not be able to lift.

The appearance of the treasure chest is exactly what I imagine a treasure chest to look like, and probably no Treasure Hunter would dislike this treasure chest. Especially if he or she is the Thief in charge of unlocking it.Vissit novelbin(.)c.om for updates

Treasure chests are one of the most delightful things to discover among the things that appear in a Treasure Shrine.

Treasure chests exist in modern society, but the extremely rare treasure chests that appear in Treasure Shrine are Relics themselves, and unlike Relics that appear one by one, you can find multiple Relics inside.

It took on that form maybe because the Mana Material reproduced the concept of a box containing treasures. There is a theory that the level of a Relic found in treasure chests is higher, and some people have actually found large treasure chests containing several rare and powerful Relics and have made a fortune (By the way, there is a rare chance that the treasure chests may not contain anything inside).

It is safe to say that finding a treasure chest in a Treasure Shrine is the dream of every Treasure Hunter.

However, at the same time, treasure chests also present a significant risk. Most treasure chests have strong locks and powerful traps in them.

Treasure chests, which are a type of Relic, are very sturdy, so it is impossible to break the box and just grab the contents. This is also the reason why Treasure Hunters require Thieves with excellent unlocking and trap-disarming skills in their Party, and also the reason why heavy, unopened treasure chests are on the market.

We don't see this very often in the Imperial Capital because there are many excellent Hunters, but it is said that in other countries there are more treasure chests that have been abandoned than opened. Well, if you fail to disarm the traps, you usually die Even our party almost died a few times.

In the basement of the church that Anthem guided me to, there were a large number of treasure chests of different sizes, materials, and appearances. Apparently, they were donated by pious Hunters but the church was in trouble because they could not handle them without care, nor could they open them carelessly because they were dangerous.

I chose the best of the best treasure chest among them. There were several other treasure chests made of wood with iron frames, but this one had the most impact and had the most treasure chest-like feeling.

Even if there isn't anything inside, it can become a small container No, more like a big container, maybe? It should be good for something. It is crazy heavy, tho'.

Isn't this a great looking treasure chest? I knew it the moment I saw it. I knew it had to be this treasure chest! (Cry)

Yattaaaa! It's been a long time since I opened a treasure chest! Come on, Ti, get over here too! (Liz)

It was so quiet, so vivid and so comical.

The treasure chest, which had just been unlocked, opens without a sound, *pyon* jumps up and covers Tino, who had her back turned to it, swallows her whole, and returns to its original location. Only a few seconds passed. Liz couldn't react. Eva couldn't react either. I am sure Tino herself must not have understood what had happened.

Ah (Liz)

Eh? (Eva)

Liz blinks her eyes and Eva freezes with a dumbfounded look on her face.

(Cry)

It was a move as brilliant as Tino's unlocking skill Not! I am really glad I kept Eva awayNot that either!

There wasn't even a scream, isn't that bad?

Is it not A treasure chest? A Monster? No A Relic? Eh?

Come to think of it, they said that sometimes people go missing in the church's warehouse. That was why they called me.

Tino-san Has been eaten. (Eva)

Eva turns pale, puts her hand over her mouth, and mutters something that no one could say. I knew she would be eaten up someday Not!

Why are all the people in this country hiding dangerous things?

Eh? Eeeeeh? Tiii!? What's this, Cry-chan!? (Liz)

Liz shouts in confusion. The treasure chest *bakun* swallows Liz from behind.

Ah (Cry)

The perfect treasure chest closes its lid and returns to its original state. Eva looks at me in amazement. Silence falls over the lounge.

The treasure chest doesn't show any sign of moving again, maybe because it has its full with the two of them. Or will it start moving when you turn your back to it?

Liz You were definitely looking at me asking for my opinion Just because it is a treasure chest I brought.

I can't believe that Liz's, who is used to incidents, can be eaten so easily You should have fought back! You should have gone on a rampage like you always do!

Thanks for reading! Waaaah Tino and Liz have been eaten by a mimic! I just saw D&D Honor among Thieves and there was also mimic. A coincidence? I think NOT! All hail Cry's divine strategy!
