Chapter 148: Anywhere XXXXXX (2)
Then came the next day.
Today, the plan was to finally head to the guild and pick up some work! Or so I thought, but instead, it turned into another day of rest, considering the condition of the two
Yesterday, they had been in quite a feverish state throughout the night and until well past noon, so I decided to let them rest properly today. I did make them drink my trustworthy and proven homemade potions, so I believe they should be fine.
So, here I am, with another day of free time on my hands. Well, theres not much to do, to be honest.
Hmm watching the two of them getting all excited yesterday made me feel like doing it too Nah, I wont, though. You see, I have this policy of only doing that in the private room of my own house.
But still I wonder if theres a way to have that homey feeling without taking out my home? Maybe I could swap the room in my current rented house with my actual home room Nah, the room sizes dont match. My homes room is quite spacious.
Then maybe I could somehow teleport to my room from anywhere? Like, maybe keeping my home inside the [storage] and being able to go inside while it was still stored.
Hmmm It seems like Id need to create some kind of phenomenon that distorts time and space for this to work. In the first place, generally, you cant put living creatures into the [Storage] or [Item Box], huh?
Wait a minute, though. Maybe that limitation was just for the [Item Box]? Maybe [Storage] could work after all? And now that I think about it, the small turtle magic beasts I bought yesterday were inside [Storage] while still alive
Lets try taking one turtle out of the [Storage] and see if I can put it into my Magic Bag Nope, it wont go in. [Storage] does seem to be more versatile and high-performance. Now, can I put larger living creatures inside it? How about a person? However, conducting experiments on humans raises too many ethical issues, so Ill try with some random monster instead.
I snuck out of the house and rode Norn to the depths of the forest. I found a random Goblin and tried to put it into [Storage] It wont go in.
Hmm? Whats the difference here? Is it a matter of intelligence? Yeah, that seems to be it.
Back home, I continued my investigation. I didnt want to involve other people, so I tried to put myself into [Storage], or rather, I attempted to see if it was possible Well, not all the way, just a test to see if it was feasible, okay? And the result? It felt like it might work but also like it might not.
Hmm it seems like I might be able to do it if certain conditions are met.
Alright, time to rely on my brute force approach. While chugging MP recovery potions, I used [Creation Magic], and bam! I made this magical door. It was just the frame and door, but opening it connected it directly to the same shape and size door of my house that was inside the storage.
I actually managed to do it, though I nearly drained all my magical power and died.
After some experimentation, it appeared that only I could enter my home within [Storage] through this door. I had Norn and Bell try it, but they just passed through it. And I couldnt exit my home within [Storage] either; the outside beyond the window was pitch black.
Even more strangely, while I was inside [Storage,] time seemed to pass in a specific areaor rather, just for me. Things left in my home didnt seem to experience the passage of time.
For example, a warm drink I had left there remained warm the entire time. Its creepy. But conveniently, clocks still seem to work. I have no idea how this all fits together.
Also, while I was inside [Storage], time appeared to pass normally outside. It could potentially be used as an emergency shelter, but only I can use it.
However, something about this feels off Its almost too convenient for me. Its starting to seem suspicious
Well, Im definitely going to use it! I mean, its been almost a month since Ive done my daily routine! Well, its not really daily if I havent been doing it, right? Its practically a daily routine scam!
But the timing might be tricky, huh? I made those potions from materials that made those two act that way, and Im afraid Ill end up in a similar state
Wait, why am I assuming I have to use that? I dont have to use it at all! Alright, no potions!
So, as I was doing all that, it quickly became evening. Time flies when youre having fun
After cleaning up my little project, I stepped out of my room to find the two of them in the midst of cooking. It was Arisas turn today, but Lily was helping because she had some free time.
I sat in the living room and watched them cook while waiting for dinner to be ready.
These two have been going at it from the night before yesterday until yesterday afternoon, huh? I wonder just what No, I better not imagine strange things. Itll put me in a weird mood.
After dinner, we discussed our plans for tomorrow.
It was nothing complicated, just going to the guild, looking for some suitable quests, and taking them on.
But if there werent any promising quests other than Goblin extermination, we decided to go ahead with that. The day before yesterday didnt yield anything good either, and its not like new and rare quests appeared so often
After our discussion, we each took turns taking a bath and then headed back to our rooms to sleep. Well, for me, I was going to use the magic door I made today right away! Its been about a month, and I cant wait any longer!
So, yeah, Ill be back!
