Chapter 257

The Day Before Her Return

“You sure this is all you’re going to need?” I spoke with my gaze fixed on the purse I had in hand . It alone constituted the entirety of Nell’s luggage .

“Mhm,” she confirmed with a nod .

“Really? You look pretty empty-handed to me, but alright, if you say so . ”

“I didn’t really bring much with me to begin with . ”

“Oh yeah, right . I almost forgot . ”

Only after being prompted did I recall that I’d warped her here with nothing but the clothes on her back . She didn’t even have her sword, at the time . It’d been left behind on the battlefield .

The purse she would be taking with her was not one of her belongings, but rather something I’d bought for her with DP . Despite looking like the average handbag, it was actually enchanted to function like my item box . It contained a distortion in spacetime that allowed it to store much more than it otherwise seemed capable . It wasn’t capable of storing anywhere near as much as my inventory, but there was still a fair bit of space inside . She was unlikely to run into any problems unless she decided to be silly and fill it with corpses . The bigger limitation was that it could only accept items that fit through the bag’s mouth . The accessory wasn’t the only item I’d given her . I’d also thrown in a few extras to ensure that nothing would go wrong while she was out in the line of duty .

“Besides, if this purse isn’t big enough for all my things, then I don’t know what would be . ” She smiled wryly . “It could easily store a whole fortune . ”

“In that case, whaddya say we start up a shipping company?” I said, jokingly . “I think it’d go pretty well . ”

“We could call it the Demon Lord Express . ”

The idea got a hearty laugh out of me, so I decided to take the joke a step further by clearing my throat and putting on my best CEO impression . “Here at DLE, we are committed to providing the best postal service on the continent . We offer three couriers, a demon lord, a fenrir, and a supreme dragon . Each member of our team is fully trained to handle your packages with utmost care and equipped to take it from source to destination in record time . ”

“The supreme dragon option certainly sounds fast and reliable, but wouldn’t it also be incredibly expensive?” said Nell with a giggle .

“Probably, yeah . She’d charge you an arm and a leg in sweets . …On second thought, that means it’d probably end up being the cheapest of the three . ”

“Good point . ”

We shared a laugh as we entertained the idea of Lefi working as a mailman .

“Oh yeah, before I forget . I should probably tell you that I packed a few things for you . They’re all already in the purse . ”

“Thanks! What things?”

“Let’s see… As far as countermeasures go, it’s got 20 potions and 10 warp crystals in case you ever run into any issues on that front . There are also five mithril knives packed in for offense . They’ll make for some pretty good anti-army weaponry, as they’re all enchanted with Bursting Embers . Just keep in mind that they’re one time use, and you’ll have to use them at range, else risk getting caught up in the
