Meikyuu Toshi no Antique Shop

The "Soil Dragon Looking Up at the Sun" pavilion is full of hustle and bustle, as usual.

Seems like explorers floating around enjoying a moment of sneezing, talking, drinking and relaxing.

It is a delightful thing.

Only Marmo kept working alone on the sidelines about how it was going.

Walk on the tabletop, face it in front of you, and think about how you should handle it.

That's a small box.

It is a treasure chest that I was able to stumble upon during my quest for a dungeon.

I used to use the locking tool (picking tool) in my hand, but it was my homework because I brought it back.

Until this is over, I also keep my favorite barley wine (ale).

Boxes are made out of style. Push buttons, dials, etc. were mounted everywhere.

But it turns out that none of them are connected to anything by the feeling of touching them.

Probably a bluff.

Ning Ro, ignore the trap because it might activate if you mess with it extra.

We concluded that we just had to simply unlock it first.

"What the hell is in it?

"I hope you like gold coins."

"Then you can tell by the sound of the shake."

"It may be tightly clogged without gaps. What good is Lord Mint?

"I guess I'm a gem. It's expensive."

"You guys have no dreams."

"But the awkward want money."

"I want money too"

"Well, I want one, too."

"Be a little quiet. I can't concentrate."

Marmo stares at his fellow jockey-handed noises behind his back.

I didn't want you to disturb me because I'm working patiently.

"That's why I told you to do it in the inn room..."

"I don't want to stay alone..."

"Lord Malmo is so lonely..."

Ignore your fellow whisperers and start working.

First I took out one elongated wire that was pinched behind my ear.

Put it around the keyhole.

Grasp the structure from the response. Now, I don't think I'm making it difficult.

I couldn't help but hear a chirp and I could unlock it.

"... ugh. Including the trap. Now we're clear."

"All right, here we go."

"I wonder what's in there"

"Looking forward to it."

It is time to wait.

I noticed the cheer my buddies would raise, and at some point the other guests were getting together.

They also seem interested in the contents of the box.

"I wonder how many times I've told you not to open it here," the gathering forgives the lady husband of the eyelid who puts the penetration in.

"If you blow it up, it's a fine."

"It's a stone trap, so it's not."

"This guy's a noise, and he can spot most of the traps. It's okay."

"Well, there's something you can do for me."

"I'm so sorry."

Honestly, it's loud around.

Let's just open it.

Marmo turns behind the box as he scatters the spectators in the front, left and right, carefully and slowly lifting the lid.

Now, just in case the stone debris is activated, it's about the parts of the liquor store that break.

But - when I glanced in, the contents were empty.

I'll check every corner, but it doesn't contain a single gold coin but a single piece of dust.

"Wow, you're empty." "Impossible." "I thought so." "At least blow it up." "Dismissed."

I go back to my table saying whatever the disinterested audience likes.

My mistress also went back to work with a nail "cause I'll kick you out the next time I do it".

"As soon as I tell you, this is it."

"I was foolish to expect that."

"Mal, you idiot"

It is a scattered discourse even unto the companions.

There's no way there's a bandit who can guarantee even the contents of the crate.

"I'll drink it already. It's sake. Oh!

When I leave it to anger to close the lid of the box, I order the barley.

Isn't this a lot of reward after all the hard work?

I can't do it if I drink for now.

"Hey, what do we do with this box?

"You can't sell these weird boxes."

"Let the awkward slay and throw it away."

My companions are drinking in their dishes about the treatment of boxes.

Marmo, whose belly worm did not subside, did not take part in it, turning that way and putting his mouth on a chibi and barley jock.

It was uncomfortable in my head.

Earlier, when I opened the chest, I felt something that was somehow unclear, but I wasn't sure what it was.

"... hmm? Wait a minute."

When he rushes up to the table, he takes the box out of the gathering hands.

The moment he lifted it, he heard something strange.

"What the fuck?

"... Shh."

Malmo tapped the crate lightly and put his ear on.

... Again.

There is a sound of liquid shaking that should not have gone from inside the box to earlier.

I smelled the medicine when I smelled it from the gap.

Perhaps sulphuric acid - the acid trap seems to be set.

"The contents of the crate are switching to another trap."

Besides, the box lid is no longer open.

Hi. It seemed to be back in locked condition.

With the fellows floating question marks behind them, Marmo begins to dismantle the trap.

This acid trap seems to be a trick that pops up the moment you open the box.

Then you will need to do it first from unlocking.

It was an impossible story, but when I checked the wire in the keyhole, the lock was separate. It has changed to a completely different structure.

The difficulty itself was not that high, so it was quickly solved.

The problem is now.

When the upper lid is carefully lifted slightly to create a gap, a spoon-like instrument (tool) is inserted to release the trick attached to the container with the acid behind it.

Then when it's all done, slowly lift the lid...

"I knew there was nothing in there..."

"It was empty originally."

"There's no way."

Certainly there is still a response in this hand that has been removed from the trap.

Marmo finally realized the identity of the discomfort there.

The inside of the box was genuine and empty, but if you think about it, that was impossible.

Because even if there was no treasure, it would be strange if there was no trap device left.

Even if you gave up a hundred steps and didn't have an acid trap trick, why not even a stone rubble trick?

"... Speaking of which, you were responding to that box, Magic Sense, right?

Gathering with arms muttered as I recall.

He also felt things were not just a matter, and his drunkenness is already in a chilled tone.

"Maybe there was a metastasis trap strained. So if only the contents were transferred somewhere, this phenomenon would be explained."

"But the sleigh is strange."

Marmo speaks differently.

Tsujitsu seems to fit the story, but there are two things that are not satisfactory.

"It's odd that even if the trap trick transfers, you don't see one screw hole. It's impossible to even get rid of the traces you installed. By and large, after the stone trap, the reason for the acid trap remains a mystery."

"... Hmm"

"Somehow that box must be a little creepy."

"How about this, for example? There was a hallucination trap, and that's the kind of theory I was seeing."

"I didn't fail as far as I could tell from the edge."

"Then group hypnosis theory"

"Isn't that a cliché?

"I feel insane at a time when Marmo is seriously working in the first place."

"Well, that makes sense."

A warrior and a samurai say rude things.

Fine. Let's take this fight and stand.

Marmo, who tried to jump at them with a jock in both hands, suddenly grabbed her collar and choked "Gu..."

"Hey, look at this."

"... what's wrong with you?"

"I tried to detect magic again. It's like the box itself."

That's what Mint tells me as he swings his wand.

The box with the tip of the cane is certainly slightly blue to react.

"... I mean, what is it?

"Isn't this crate itself a grant tool (antique)?

"Seriously."

"Oh, there's another trap activated."

When I was sitting on the box, the strange noise was leaking again.

When I approached him with my ears closed and asked him how the contents were, he made a regular noise.

Again, the smell of gunpowder is drifting through the keyhole.

I have a very nasty feeling about it.

"... maybe this is a time bomb!

"... Wouldn't you like to start"

"You can only push such a troublesome item on someone"

"To whom?

"Yes, I know someone who might like this"

"" "Over there!!

The four decided to head to a destination granting tool store for now.

I have a husband over there who is happy to appraise and pick up any items.

He would have done something about this troublesome box.

Identification Card 'Trap Box (Trap Box) (Luxury)'

"Thou shalt tell the messenger of the trapper, offer his skill once (once), and the world shall be created, and set up, and stretched out, as the thread of the Poplar Top."

Every time you close a box, it's an odd box that keeps generating traps.

It was created a long time ago by the women leaders of the Great Bandits, and its use is said to be for torturing traitors or for training their men.

A long time ago, he suggested that his master use this to train him to run out in the union for banditry, but because the injured person continued to emerge and became a problem, it seemed to be immediately abolished.

* Request to the customer.

Bringing a crate with a time bomb trap to our store will be an inconvenience for other customers, so we will strictly refuse to do so. ('h') No
