by fnovelpiaWhile Shine was catching monsters, I was relaxing at home.
Actually, I thought it might be better to go out and help.
But I didn’t think there was any need for me to come forward.
Shine had already taken care of the monster before it even came close to the castle.
The sight of arrows bending here and there, dropping flying monsters from afar, was an incredible sight.
“Did you get some rest? When would you like to go to the warehouse?”
“I rest a lot when you’re having a hard time, so it doesn’t matter when I go.”
“Then shall we go right away? “Before they change their words.”
“It doesn’t matter, but can you not rest? Are not you tired?”
“It’s completely fine. On the contrary, I’m in a perfect state because I’m having fun warming up my body.”
“But I heard it was quite dangerous.”
“Not just me, but the soldiers and residents of the territory were in danger.”
Shine’s performance was so great that I heard a lot of rumors while I was resting here.
It was like this even though I was in my room and only had the window open. How much of a fuss would there have been elsewhere?
“How was it dealing with monsters?”
He is a big shiner because he received full support from his family since he was young.
Because my expectations were high, I wanted to receive results commensurate with my application, and although it was a bit close, Shine showed sufficient results.
“The level of difficulty was not difficult. Even though you couldn’t kill it with one hit, it was possible to knock it off its feet. “Once the monster hit the ground, the soldiers finished it.”
“okay? “That’s amazing.”
“The soldiers had a hard time cleaning up, well. “I just stood there and shot the arrow.”
“But if it wasn’t for you, we all could have died today.”
“That’s why it’s a bit of a shock. “I think I haven’t been paying too much attention to the territory.”
“You almost caught it all by yourself, right?”
“Not most of it, I just caught it all. It seems like the elders caught a few fish… . The problem is our territory soldiers. “I didn’t know you were this weak.”
Through this incident, Shine realized something quite important.
It’s about how big the gap is between you and ordinary awakened people.
In addition, he seemed to realize how important the work he would soon be doing upon enlisting was.
“It’s true that those people are very weak, but there’s also the fact that you’ve become particularly strong.”
“I guess other soldiers are at that level too, right?”
“It won’t be to the point where you can’t kill monsters like this time, but it will be similar.”
When Shine, standing at the top, looks down, all the other awakened people will look miserable.
Isn’t there a reason to look closely at the differences between the weak and the slightly weaker ones?
“It made me think a lot. I really thought that it wouldn’t be possible without me. When the man said that we needed to clean up the contaminated area, I said I would do it together, but I had no sense of mission. But after this incident, I know that this is absolutely necessary.”
It was good news for me that Shine became serious about cleaning up contaminated areas.
“I’m glad you felt the need. “It wasn’t a good idea to insist that I would try to do it on my own.”
“I think he’s a really great person. It’s not because of some amazing ability, but because thinking like that isn’t something that just anyone can do. Ah, it has arrived!”
While I was having a long conversation with Shine, I arrived at the warehouse.
Is it because they are from an aristocratic family with a long history?
“It’s big.”
It was just a warehouse door, but its grandeur was enormous.
“Welcome, Miss Shine, guest.”
“long time no see. Inspiration!”
“I remember the last time you visited this place was when you entered the academy.”
“Wow, really? It’s been so long. “You haven’t aged at all.”
“Haha, how can you fool time?”
The time the warehouse manager and Shine exchanged greetings was short.
The warehouse manager smiled brightly and got straight to the point.
“Two visitors to go inside. “One of you will be a lady, and the other will be a guest.”
“that’s right.”
“Put your palm on the round part here.”
Where the doorknob should have been, there was a decoration depicting a dragon with its mouth wide open, holding a round pearl in its mouth.
The place where Shine touched was the Yeouiju area.
When I touched it, Yeouiju glowed with blue light.
Grrrva!
There was a sound of something incredibly thick being dragged across the floor.
In fact, the huge warehouse door was opening.
“that’s interesting.”
Grrr!
It took a long time for the door to open.
“Did you intentionally make the door open so slowly?”
“Maybe so? I heard that the loud sound is also to prevent theft. “I heard that there are various other crime prevention devices.”
Well, since a family’s wealth is here, it is normal to use various devices to hide it.
Thanks to this, I felt like I was walking down a secret passage straight out of a children’s fairy tale.
The unusually thick door finally stopped moving.
An endless passage appeared that was large enough for the two people to pass through.
“Please follow me.”
The warehouse manager took the lead, holding a lamp in one hand.
We followed behind him.
“I remember coming here when I was young. “Nothing has changed since then.”
“Change should not be easy. “It is a place where the family’s history lies.”
“Where should we go?”
“It’s 1-5.”
“What is there?”
I expected that a noble family warehouse would be different from an ordinary space, but it seemed to be managed much more systematically than I expected.
“There are objects of unknown value lying dormant. “I heard you want those items.”
“That’s right. After all, inspiration is trustworthy.”
“It won’t be as good as you expect. This is a collection of items that I tried to find a use for for a long time, but didn’t know about. “If it looks good on the outside, most of the remaining items are sold at a reasonable price and are no different from antiques.”
“really? Does it seem to you that there are no useful items at all?”
Shine’s expression got worse.
I didn’t expect the family elders to show me good things, but I guess I didn’t know that they even cleaned up things that looked good in advance.
“Really petty… .”
Shine said after seeing him full of dissatisfaction.
“are you okay. “Because I didn’t come to save this guy who looks like an idiot.”
“sorry. If you don’t have the right item, I’ll ask you and show you another place. Old man, can you do that much?”
“Haha, it’s okay. “It’s a request from a lady, not someone else, so can’t you grant it?”
It seemed like the warehouse manager cared more about Shine than I thought.
“This time, my grandchild was born, and thanks to you, he was able to be safe. “Shouldn’t a person repay the favor he or she receives?”
The reason for the favor he sent.
It became clear what that was.
“thank you!”
I hoped that I would be able to get satisfactory items from the warehouse without having to rely on his favor.
“Here we go. “I’ll be waiting for you here, so you can find what you’re looking for.”
The warehouse manager opened warehouses 1-5.
It was covered in a lot of dust, probably because it hadn’t been opened for a long time.
“Keluk keluk – old man, is this right?”
“Hey, can I at least give you a mask to cover your nose?”
“huh. Please.”
After receiving a mask and additional gloves from the warehouse manager, I entered the warehouse.
Perhaps because it was a warehouse without any common windows, when I went inside, there was a musty smell of dust and an unidentifiable fishy smell.
“If I had come in without wearing a mask, I would have been in big trouble. The warehouse I went to when I was young didn’t smell like this… .”
“I guess it’s because they are expensive items, so I took good care of them, and this place is an antique that has been neglected.”
It was natural to spend more time and effort on expensive things.
“But there are more things than I thought?”
Since it was an antique, I thought the amount would be small.
However, there were more antique-looking items on display than I expected.
Although it has a cluttered atmosphere, this is enough to set up a decent general store.
“Now that no one is bothering me, I can do as I please!”
Shine didn’t seem to like the items in the warehouse, but he seemed happy that I seemed to like them.
“It will take quite some time. Are you okay?”
Even for me, it wasn’t easy to recognize the true value of things.
“It doesn’t matter because I’m going to see it too.”
Thanks to Shine’s words that eased my burden, I was able to start digging for antiques in earnest.
* * *
To Shine, I may seem like a person with great insight… .
Actually, I didn’t have a special eye for choosing things.
To be exact, it is not my ability, but the ability of the ‘system’.
‘This too is trash. This too is trash. This… Useless old trash.’
They say they removed as much of the valuable stuff as possible.
When I really look at things, I can’t find anything that looks useful.
However, it was not that there was nothing to be gained from them.
[Would you like to fill out the encyclopedia?]
‘This is it!’
I have been receiving new features through updates through achievements.
Among them, there was an update that allowed you to view the list of achievements, and there were also monster encyclopedias and item encyclopedias that were later updated as other achievement rewards.
In particular, the item book included equipment that could not be obtained through a lottery, but rather equipment that could be obtained by defeating stage monsters.
The reason I held each visible object and pretended to examine it carefully was to find out how the system responded.
‘The achievement rewards are this good, but you’re ignoring the item journal achievements?’
Just like the monster encyclopedia, the item encyclopedia was worth the time it took to complete it.
All of the items that could be obtained through the lottery had already been filled into the encyclopedia, and the item encyclopedia that was still empty contained only by-products or special artifacts that could be obtained by killing monsters.
‘Usually, relics are dropped by repeatedly defeating boss monsters…’
In the noble warehouse, a significant number of relics were responding to the encyclopedia.
It is not for nothing that they are a historic noble family with a long history.
“Can I have this?”
“Is that an artifact with hidden special abilities?!”
“No, it’s just an ordinary music box.”
It’s just in the item guide.
They say this was the first gift the first emperor gave to his granddaughter.
“But why…?”
“You’re pretty. “When you shake off the dust, the model inside is the imperial palace.”
“Ah, this is the imperial palace.”
It seems like they’re watching carefully to see if I’m hiding something, but there’s no need for that.
There really was nothing special about that music box other than its historical value as a gift from someone to someone.
“Can I take this too?”
“Why the wooden sword? No, before that, why is there a wooden sword here?”
one more!
“I have this too.”
“…Don’t just ask, take everything. “Honestly, I’m wondering if I can give you something like this.”
“Oh, thank you.”
In that case, I decided not to hesitate and pack up a lot of it.
