“Welcome back, Klee. How was the church?”

"I don't know." It's been a long time, but it seems that Anthem is still familiar with it..... "

Clan House. Meet and chat with Eva as she ascends the stairs to the Clanmaster Room.

Even though everyone is hurting my reputation, Eva will always be a healer. I want everyone to learn.

"Well, well... well, well?...... Mr. Klee, do you think I don't know anything?"

Well, well...

As usual, Eva sighed a small sigh as if she was dumbfounded.

But Anthem was really amazing. That size would be tough for a hunter to be a member of the church, but would it mean that he would be familiar with the faces of the church and surpass the outside world?

Besides, Anthem said - it seems that there were many other people besides us who noticed that Black Knight emerged from the pendant.I went to the priest and told him that the Black Knight had come out of the pendant.

In other words, all the witnesses spoke without blaming him.I didn't blame you for breaking the pillar, and I really envy you for how much virtue you've accumulated in your previous life and how much you'll be treated like that... I can be questioned for things you haven't done all the time.Of course, I didn't envy Lucia's superior attack magic.

Let's live honestly by learning from Anthem... I'm living honestly!I don't know anything!

And then, when Eva looked at me, she looked like she was going to fall in love with me.

Krai-san... isn't she in a strange mood?

"Ahh... do you get it?"

"...... why did the Light Spirit Church make such a fuss?"

I'm not in a good mood because of the incident, but because I got a souvenir at the end.What you need to have is a good childhood friend.I want to return it one day because I just received it. [M]

"The church's mess is something that [Starlight] can handle."It was noisy because it was a prophecy recently, but I think it's converging well. "

………………

I'm tired of all the things that keep happening.It's not because I was active, but I don't have any physical strength, so I'm exhausted just looking up close.

And then I noticed Eva staring at my face.

Eyebrows stared at with pitiful eyes.As if there was something written on my face, I took a step back without paying attention.

Huh, what is it?

"No... no... I'm just reading Klee's expression and buying and selling it... lately, it's been so messed up by repeated curse disturbances."I ran away from the Imperial City a long time ago.If it really converges...... it's a chance...... "

Hmm... I think it's better not to touch it too deeply.She was a former merchant of the Grand Chamber of Commerce, although she was often forgotten because the deputy clan master was completely on the board.

The Imperial City has been noisy lately. After the dragon came from the Akasha disturbance, this prophecy and if there is a series of troubles in a short period of time, everyone will want to escape.

Eva can run, too.

I'll run with you. [M]

Eva's eyes widened and she stood up with her right palm in the middle of a serious speech.There is a familiar ring on the ring finger.

"I won't run away." Even though I got the barrier finger... I'm ready to go. "

"Too handsome. I'm not ready to wear more than ten barrier fingers..."

Well, that's a good stop... I'm already hungry.I've returned the Synoptic Stone, and this time it's going to be wild.

Lucia and the others seemed to be freeing up due to all the disturbances, so I thought I'd call all of them and have a blast.

So Eva turned around and said what she expected.

"Speaking of which, Ms. Liz is here."Join Tino in the Clan Master Room

"!! It's all... just like my simulation."

"I'm in a very good mood... yes. I was supposed to get you something as a gift... were you okay?"

”Kuku...... an unusual, inseparably mad reading-is scary of my talent”

Is it all on the palm of your hand?Is there a divine arithmetic conspiracy in bloom?

This is it, this is it! For now, I was allowed to disguise myself as a hardboiled and get on my feet.My eyes are pitfalls, but I know my childhood personality very well.I haven't been with Date for a long time.

I told Eva that I was looking at something spooky.

"I have a favor to ask... the best chest should be coming from the church downstairs soon."Ask someone... I see, can you take me to the lounge? "

"I... don't mind that." Treasure chest? "

Eva would be surprised to see that too.I've never seen a treasure chest like that before in my history as a hunter.I'm sure Liz was delighted too.

But... I didn't think there were that many treasure chests in the warehouse of the Light Spirit Church.I don't know what you're talking about, so I said I should choose, but I don't know what it is, so I laughed.

§

In the clanmaster room, Liz was strangling Tino.I'm sure he was free while he waited.

When I look at him, he throws away Tino, who was on the verge of fainting, and jumps in.Eva is right, the tension is high.

Clychaaaaaaaangh!

All right, all right, Liz, all right!

With a smiling Liz in one hand, I saw Tino stretching out on the floor.

Looking at the disturbed hair, was it originally in a simulated battle?I don't want you to play mock battles in someone else's room because you're free.

When he scolded bypassed Tino, he was about to burst into flames, and when he was blaming Liz, who had not worsened at all, Tino's fingertips twitched and he gently regained his sanity.

When I wake up, I shake my head and look at me and dye my cheeks.

"Taaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" I feel sorry for you. "

”No, no... Tino is good, too.”

Compared to the past, the ruggedness of juniors these days is much worse.It's not good for you mentally, it's bad for you physically.I'm glad to hear that... should I be ashamed that I can't stop Lizzie?

What if Tino grows up to look like Anthem with his toughness specialization?

When Liz took Tino's arm, which had just risen, she quickly pressed it against me.

"It's time for my escort, isn't it?"I can't wait, I'm a little early, but I'm here!We'll do our best, won't we? You can use your tea too!Well, it looks like there's been no particularly strange movement since the attack in the lounge-- "

"...... ah, that's what I was talking about."

"I'm telling you, when did you last talk about this!?"

I see... changing the guards on a daily basis was a surprise measure.

No, there's been so much since then... it's gotten a lot brighter!Garg, you've been blasted, you've been pinned down!What's going on with him?

...... well, let's leave the details.It's been a really long time.

I said strictly to Liz-chan, who had her eyes shining and was frightened like a dog waiting for her.

”Kon, actually, I have something I want to give to Lizzie...”



I thought it was unfair not to just give it to Luke and the others and give it to Liz.

"C 'mon! I love you, Krai-chan!"

"Onii-san... it's a shame."

Liz jumped up and hugged her from the back.A hot limb that seems to sweat just by touching it.

I had somehow anticipated such a reaction, but I was happy to be pleased with it... I don't know what was in the treasure chest... I thought it would be a big joy even if it was empty, but I was a little anxious to be pleased with it.

And I forgot about Tino, but Tino wasn't particularly dissatisfied.I'm more concerned about Liz, who pushes her nose against my neck more often than I am.

"You're carrying me to the lounge right now."

"C 'mon! I'm looking forward to it! Let's go!"Hey? You're early! "

Liz magically turned forward in an instant and pulled her arm.The smile is dazzling.

This... won't cry even if the contents are empty, right?

Tino looked at me, anxiously crushed, and said pimply.

”The lounge... hasn't been repaired yet...”

Yeah, that's right. I decided to designate a lounge to show everyone the perfect treasure chest... but I completely forgot that it was half-broken.

§

It seemed that it was difficult to repair a half-broken lounge in a short time, no matter how much we were able to repair our clan house.

The lounge that was a specialty was still worn out, as Tino said.There are big cracks in the floor and the table is cleaned.As expected, in its current state, it does not seem to be able to function as a place of rest, and there are not always a large number of clan members.

But that didn't seem to matter to Liz at the time.

At the center of the lounge, his eyes glowed and his voice floated with joy.

"Whoa! What's this? Wow! treasure chest!"

"It's a treasure chest, onee-sama!"And this...... isn't it from the Treasure House? "

"It must come from a real treasure hall."Because it has a unique impact. "

Tino looks at me with a little envy for Eva's approval.

It was a less flashy, basic, but utterly indefinite treasure chest.

Rusty metal frame on the wooden body.Large mounted padlock. Liz and Tino were about the same size, and I couldn't lift them.

It looks like the treasure chest I imagined, and perhaps none of the treasure hunters disliked it.Even more so when it comes to the [Bandit] in charge of unlocking it.

The treasure chest is one of the happiest things to find in the treasure hall.

Treasure chests exist in modern society, but treasure chests that appear very rarely in treasure halls are treasure chests themselves. Unlike other treasure chests that appear one by one, treasure chests are discovered with multiple treasure chests inside.

Perhaps that's how the concept of a treasure chest is reproduced in Mana Materials.There is a theory that the treasure items found in treasure chests are of a high level, and some people have found large treasure chests that actually contain a number of rare and powerful treasure items and gained a huge amount of wealth (by the way, it is possible that the contents are rarely inside).

Discovering treasure chests in the Treasure Hall was a dream of all treasure hunters.

But at the same time, there was a big risk in the treasure chest.Most treasure chests contain strong keys and powerful traps.

The treasure chest itself is sturdy, so you can't break the chest and blur only the contents.That's why bandits with excellent unlocking and trap removal skills are required for Treasure Hunter parties, and why unopened heavy treasure chests are on the market.

There are many excellent hunters in the Imperial City, so I don't see much, but in other countries there are more treasure chests that have been given up than those that have been opened.Well, if I failed to disarm the trap, I would normally die... I almost died several times at my party.

The church's basement, guided by Anthem, housed a large number of treasure chests of different sizes, materials, and looks.Apparently, it was donated by a believer hunter, and he couldn't handle it unhindered. It was dangerous, so he couldn't bypass it, and he was in trouble.

This is the Best of Best Chest I chose from.There were several other treasure chests with wooden frames, but they were the most interesting and very likeable.

Even if the contents weren't there, a small box... a big one?It's good for something. It's too heavy.

"It's a very handsome treasure chest, isn't it?" The moment I saw it, it was a pinch.This treasure chest! "

"Ah! It's been a long time since I opened the treasure chest!"Come on, Tee, come here too! "

"Huh!? Am I okay too?!"

Tino is in a hurry to get to Liz's place after being greeted with a handful of fingers.

It seems that it's cute to be really confused...... but Liz is probably going to train."Unlocking the treasure chest is really dangerous..."

I slapped Eva's arm lightly and left Liz and the others together.There were many single-shot traps in the treasure chest.I don't think there's a problem with the barrier fingers, but you should be careful.

Eva whispered to me as she sat next to me.

"...... Mr. Klee, what's in that box?"

"...... what do you think?"

…………

Eva thought about it with a serious expression.The answer is... I don't know!

The only way to see the contents of the treasure chest that has been discovered so far is to use a magnifying glass-type treasure tool called "Treasure Tracer".

However, the hunter who discovered the enviable treasure was assassinated after revealing its existence, and the treasure was destroyed.Since then, the second treasure mirror has not been found.

Liz was checking the lock as she winked, but she immediately said strangely.

"Hmm? Cly-chan, this key is pretty simple."The trap......... mmm...? "

Liz knocked on the treasure chest and checked the bottom to lift it.It was so heavy that I couldn't hold it, Lizzie. It's so powerful!

The treasure chest revealed by the Mana Material requires more than knowledge, it requires taste and skill.Using five senses, six senses, and everything to challenge unknown tricks, they may be the most suitable for a treasure hunter.

Looking at the treasure chest from all directions, Liz said with a difficult expression.

"Nh, let's open it for now."

I see... it doesn't seem like an explosive trap.

"...... I'll give you a tee to unlock."I don't really have a chance to actually open the treasure chest, so let's show Cry-chan the results of the practice. "

"What!? Are you sure?!"

Tino opened his eyes wide and said happily.Eva looked surprised, but Liz was good at watching us.

Yeah, yeah, that's right! Master, you're doing well!I was strangling you earlier!

Tino knelt in front of the lock hanging in front of the treasure chest, took the picking tool out of his hair, and carefully inserted it into the keyhole.

Lizzie was right, it was an easy type.In a few seconds, there was a loud noise and the lock came off.It was a striking skill reminiscent of Lizzie.

But here we go. Unlocking is important, but unlocking the trap is even more important.My life depends on it.

I was relieved that I was able to unlock it well. Tino looked back at my sister with a smile, and then looked at me.Tino, who looked like Liz somewhere, accidentally waved his hand. It was then.

- It was too quiet, too vivid, too joking.

The newly unlocked treasure chest opened without a sound, and as it jumped up, it covered Tino's back, swallowed it whole, and returned to its original location.

In the meantime, just a few seconds. Liz couldn't react.Eva couldn't react either.I'm sure Tino himself didn't know what was going on.

"Ah......"

"Eh......?"

Liz blinked her eyes and Eva froze with a dumb expression.

………………

It's as vivid a trick as Tino's... it's not!I'm so glad you let Eva go - no!

...... I didn't even scream, but isn't it too much?

The treasure chest... isn't it? A monster...? No... a treasure? Huh?

... that's what you said about the occasional missing person in the church warehouse.That's why you called me--

”Tino-san... ate it”

Eva turned pale, put her hand around her mouth and murmured that no one had spoken.I thought I'd be able to eat it someday... no!

...... why do all the people in this country hide something so dangerous?

"Huh? Huh? Tee!? What is this, Klee-chan!?"

Liz shouted confusedly.The treasure chest swallowed Liz from behind.

"Ah......"

The perfect treasure chest closes the lid and returns to its original state.Eva stares at me in a daze.Silence came to the lounge.

The treasure chest didn't seem to move again, as though the two of them were hungry.Or do we turn around and make a move?

...... Lizzie...... you were definitely referring to my judgment...... because it was the treasure chest I brought.

I'm so used to accidents that Lizzie can eat so lightly... I wish I could have fought!I'm glad you're berserking me like I always do!
