Soul Devourer Chapter 1 Episode 61 — A Dream Item That’s Almost Too Convenient
After defeating the Dullahan, I proceeded to open the treasure chest that appeared. Inside were the boss materials and a leather pouch.
“What!? This is…”
At first glance it looked like any ordinary pouch. Something that could barely hold a phone or wallet. But nothing that comes from a dungeon is ever normal.
Clutching the boss materials and the pouch carefully, I returned outside via the magic circle. I immediately requested appraisal along with selling the materials.
“The magic stones from Living Armors, plus the magic stone, helm, and full armor from the Dullahan come to sixty million.”
The Dullahan’s equipment didn’t fit my size and would restrict my movements, so I decided to sell it.
“And this pouch is a《Magic Pouch》. Despite its appearance, its storage capacity is one billion cubic meters. Time does not pass inside, so items will never deteriorate.
…
Even in upper-rank dungeons, obtaining one is extremely difficult. It’s a very valuable item.”
(E/N: 1,000,000,000 m³ = 1 km³, a volume enough to fit 400 Great Pyramid of Giza or ⅕ volume of Grand Canyon.)
Just as I thought. Still… a cubic kilometer inside a pouch? That’s insane.
I could store over a hundred defeated monsters… and no materials would ever go to waste.
Plus, since time is frozen inside, it’s perfect for food. Mom’s homemade lunches, convenience store rice balls — I could carry tons of them into dungeons.
“If you carry it openly, you will attract attention. Be wary of robbery or theft. If you wish to avoid danger, I recommend putting it up for auction.”
“I understand.”

“I’m home!”
“Welcome back.”
After coming home, I washed away the sweat and fatigue in the bath. Over dinner, I decided to bring up the topic.
“Dad, Mom — I want to talk about something.”
“Oh? What is it?”
“About this place… actually, it's about moving. For example, would you both prefer a clan’s housing complex or somewhere with better security?”
Hearing that, both of them looked a little surprised. Dad asked me why I wanted to move.
“Why now?”
“After that Stampede and all the hunter crime lately… I want you both to live somewhere safer.”
“I see…”
“We’ve lived here ever since dungeons appeared. Why decide this all of a sudden?”
“Well… because my income suddenly shot up.”
“I never asked before, but how much have you earned?”
“Umm… counting today, I’ve cleared three A-rank dungeons total. Altogether, I made two hundred and fifty million.”
When I told them the amount, Dad’s eyes widened a little, and Mom covered her mouth.
“Wha—!? Two hundred million!? H-honey!”
“To think my son would surpass my income this quickly… honestly, it stings a little— ahem. Well, my pride aside, that money is something you fought hard to earn. As your parents, we think you should use it for yourself.”
“He’s right.”
“Thanks. But as your son, I want you both somewhere safe. That way I can focus on being a hunter.”
““…””
“It’s selfish of me, and I know your jobs matter too… but I hope you’ll think about it.”
“…Alright. Your mother and I will talk it over thoroughly.”
“Thanks.”

What with today's economy and job security, a lucky few get to fulfill their filial piety… Maybe today's generation won't understand the notion but the feeling you get upon settling down your parents with your own money is heavenly.
I pray to got to get Yuito's endurance and luck! Stay tuned!

That item... As expected from over 4000 luck stat?
ReplyDeleteGot to be, right? Although, in that case, those who found it before Yuito are impossibly lucky in comparison.
