Chapter 477 Whats Inside My [Storage]

I decided to organize my [Storage] for the first time in a while.

My [Storage] was filled with a good number of dangerous things. Black balls that explode on a given keyword, a purple Dummy Core, a pure Dungeon Core I got from [Father], and an orichalcum blade. Those were just the icing on top of the cake that was my treasure horde. There were even a few unused spell scrolls I figured Id get around to reading eventually.

Huh?

At least, thats what should have been in there.

When I turned my [Storage] on its head to dump everything out, nothing came out. Only that dungeon core I got from [Father] came tumbling out. Thats it.

Whats going on?

Fortunately, I was wearing my godly beddingsthe [Godly Pajamas] as my jersey and [Godly Alarm Clock] as my wristwatch, so those werent missing. The [Godly Comforter] and [Godly Blanket] were held on to by Rokuko, so those were safe as well.

Still though, whered everything go? There werent any of the dishes Kinue-san prepared or the blade golems Id made in it either.

I put my arm into [Storage] to fumble around and try to find anything else, but there wasnt anything there. I was usually able to feel whatevers inside just by thinking about it though.

I tried looking inside. The open mouth to the [Storage] was just black space, but maybe I could see inside if I put my head in? It might stop time to just my head, though, causing a bit of an issue with the rest of my body. ITd be dangerous to try it alone.

Looks like Ill need someone to stand by and rescue me.

Which is why you want me to be here, huh.

Youre the person I can rely on for things like this, Rokuko. Ill be moving my hand as I stick my head into the [Storage], so pull me out immediately if it stops moving.

Got it.

Which is why I decided to have Rokuko be my insurance as I take a look inside.

Hmm, I put my head in, but I couldnt see anything.

There wasnt any sound or light.

Suddenly, light returned to me. It appeared that Rokuko pulled me back out. Moreover, I was a bit startled by feeling soft taps on my shoulder alongside a weird sensation of me also being hit there at the same time.

Owah!? Wait, why so soon? It hadnt even been five seconds.

Are you okay, Kehma? You stopped moving. For about fifteen seconds.

Eh, really?

I didnt feel like Id stopped doing it, but I guess I wasnt even able to realize I stopped? Its a good thing I decided to get Rokuko first.

Also, it seems like shed tapped my shoulder several times without me responding.

Wait, was it that the sensations from her doing that built up and came to me all at once? Like the sensations were frozen in time and were recognized collectively after I backed out? It was hard to describe how strange and weird it felt.

Its unexpected dangerous [Storage], that is.

You got that right.

But like, where did everything else go off to for just that Dungeon Core to be left behind?

It shouldnt be possible for a hole to open up in the [Storage] No, I dont really know how it works at all, so maybe it was possible?

Hey, Kehma. This is the core Otou-sama gave you, right? You still had it?

Hm? Yeah. If all I want to do is raise the level of [Super Transformation], Dummy Cores are enough for that.

Rokuko spoke while petting the extra Dungeon Core.

Maybe your stuff is in this?

Eh?

I just mean that, well, I have a Master Room, right? Maybe this core has one too!

Rokuko slapped her hand down onto it. Her reasoning was sound enough.

I see. Its not a Dummy Core. Its an actual core.

In that case, it could be convenient since there would be more space to store things That said, looking inside might be a problem.

As if trying to get inside, Rokuko poked the Dungeon Core as she spoke.

I wonder if another core could enter? Is what I thought, but then I recalled it being in Oranges Dungeon Core. I guess so, then?1

I wonder if I cant enter by just imagining a door opening? Kehma, you try too!

S-Sure.

I put my hand on the opposite side of the core that Rokuko did, matching her Picturing the feeling of entering Rokukos Master Room, I pushed a small strand of magical power into the Dungeon Core.

Wait. Im trying to pry it open, maybe I should use more?

As I continued to increase the amount of magical power I was pouring into it, the while light shining from the core visibly magnified.

Is that it? Thats all?

Hmm, I feel like we just need a biiiit more~

Id at least like to get back my orichalcum sword.

When Rokuko also put some of her magical power into it, the cores light turned to a soft golden hue.

It feels divine but also like theres something wrong with it. I mean, this doesnt happen when I enter Rokukos Master Room or anything, right?

Hey, Rokuko?

Hmm?

What should we do now?

Eh? Umm, of course we should uhh I wonder?

Rokuko tilted her head to the side. Oi.

Just then, the Dungeon Cores light intensified.

Maybe we should stop?

How strange. I thought so as well and Im still trying to stop, but it wont let me?

I cant take my hands away!?

It was like a vacuum cleaner sucking my hands onto it, making it so that I couldnt pull away. My magical power was flowing freely into it. It was just a tiny amount, though.

Rokuko, are you okay?

Ah, yeah. Theres nothing wrong with my hands, I just cant move them. By the way, its a bit sudden, but Im getting the urge to bathe in the onsen, cant we?

We cant.

What are you saying when you cant even move your hands? What side are you planning on entering, the mens or womens? Theres no mixed bathing at our inn.

Mmm, no good. What should we do then?

Ah. Maybe you could leave with the dungeon function?

Theres also your [Super Transformation]. Ah, but, umm maybe we could stay like this a while longer? Look, we cant leave each other~?

Her hands still on the Dungeon Core, Rokuko moved her face closer to mine.

At that moment, the Dungeon Core suddenly shined brightly.

Uoh, so bright!?

Hyah!?

As soon as I moved my hands to shield my eyes, the Dungeon Core let out a popping sound. It seemed to float up into midair. It then promptly fell right into my [Storage] Id left open.

A freakin godray of light rose from my [Storage] before settling down.

Therere no marks on the ceiling What the heck just happened?

No idea maybe your [Storage]s stuff is back though?

Everything but the core was gone from the start though but maybe?

I put my hand into my [Storage].

Mmm, theres a soft and warm feeling. Hmm?

Just as I thought that, I felt something slimy tickle my hand.

Whyah!? W-What!?

Ehwhats wrong, Kehma!?

Th-Theres something in my [Storage]!! It licked my hand!?

Eeeh, but [Storage] stops creatures from moving? Let me try too.

With that, Rokuko put her hand into my [Storage] and

Wawawah!? Wh-What is it!?

Wha!? Wha-!? Theres something in there!!

Whats this, whats this!? Eh, theres something smooth. Hair?

Rokuko felt around my [Storage].

!? It grabbed me!? K-Kehma, help!

I-Ive got you!

I pulled Rokuko back forcibly. With that

A black-haired girl who was gripping onto Rokukos hand appeared from my [Storage].
