　I lie down on the bed in my usual inn room.

“Now” (Rook)

　There are many things I have to sort out today.

　The first thing I want to focus on is the white Magic Crystal that I got today and sold to the guild a while ago—the Light Magic Crystal.

　Light Magic Crystal… I’m not sure if it’s because I was so excited to get the Magic Bag that I didn’t notice it at the time, but now that I’m thinking about it, isn’t it a little strange? Why did the Light Magical Crystal come out of the ghost? Ghosts shining doesn’t fit their image… at all…

　Well, I guess there’s no point in giving such a complaint to a dungeon where you can kill orcs and get a rice paddle. But for the time being, the drop items of the monsters in the dungeon should basically be parts of the monsters you defeated. It’s not that is completely unrelated to the monster, but it’s that they’re the complete opposite.

“Umm…” (Rook)

　Speaking of the exact opposite, the Sacred Magic grimoire came out of ghosts and skeletons before. This is also the exact opposite.

　…No, is it different after all? Light and Darkness would be the exact opposite, but since Light and Sacred are not the same things, Sacred and Darkness should not be the exact opposite…

　Hmm… I’m not confident about that either… There is an image that Light goes well with Sacred. Light and Sacred are not the same things, but they feel close enough.

　In the first place, it’s just a thought. I sold the Light Magic Crystal a while ago, but 30 gold coins is a pretty great purchase price, isn’t it? When I sold the Dark Magic Crystal before, it should have been six gold coins, so it’s five times more. I’ve heard before that it’s cheap because Dark Magic Crystals are easy to come out of, but even if that’s the norm, the difference is still huge. Is the Dark Magic Crystal that unpopular? Or are Light Magic Crystals that popular? I haven’t seen Magic Crystals with other attributes, so I can’t say anything.

　But if a Light Magic Crystal appears on that floor and it is bought for 30 gold coins, why is that floor not popular? I understand that there are very few adventurers who can use attack magic, but I think it’s okay for some adventurers to aim for a little more money.

　…No, I don’t think so.

　If you think about it carefully, Dessert Cow and Orc meat were bought for around three silver coins, and if I put in Magic Stones or other drops, hunting a few a day should make about one gold coin.

　I don’t know how many monsters can be hunted on that floor in a day, but I think a D-rank party can earn about 10 gold coins a day. If that’s the case, 30 gold coins that you don’t even know if you’ll get might not be very appealing.

“Hmm.” (Rook)

　I pondered as I tossed and turned on my bed, half-turning from side to side several times.

　But I feel like I’m missing something. I feel like I’m forgetting something. It’s like there’s a line connecting the dots together…

　Submerged in a sea of thoughts, swaying in that ocean, I reach out to search for something. Over and over again, swimming and exploring. Thinking, remembering, and then being swallowed by the waves, sinking down and coming up again.

　Eventually, as my consciousness sank deeper and deeper into the sea of thoughts, I felt something touch my hand. Believing in this vague feeling, I reached out my hand and desperately grabbed it, and as I pulled it back…

　–there was a light in front of me.

　I emerged from the sea of thoughts and was pulled back to reality.

　Ah, yes… Speaking of which, I’m pretty sure the last time I got a Sacred Magic grimoire in a dungeon was… the time before that, too… No, if that’s the case… …Yeah, I can’t verify that at the moment. I guess I’ll just have to verify it in the dungeon.

　Now that I’ve found the answer to my question, I’m going to switch over to something else.

　Well, next.

“Next, I’m going to look into the Magic Bag!” (Rook)

　With all my energy, I took out a waist pouch-type Magic Bag from the backpack I had left on the bed.

　A [Magic Bag], it was a magical bag that could hold more things than it looked like, and it didn’t even feel heavy.

　I had never seen one before, nor had I had a chance to ask about the specs, so that was all the information I had.

　I had heard from Mel that her family’s merchant association had a few of these, but she hadn’t been allowed to touch them, so she didn’t seem to know much about them.

　She didn’t seem to know the specs of the magic bags she owned.

　When I thought about it, I could understand why. For example, if there was a high-quality Magic Bag that could hold ten tons of items, and some countries owned it, the concept of transporting goods would probably change in times of war.

　Even if it were owned by some merchant association, it would be possible to drastically reduce transportation costs.

　I feel that disclosing such transportation capacity is risky in many ways and has few advantages.

“Okay, let’s check the capacity for now.” (Rook)

　And capacity is the most important thing.

　I got up from the bed, grabbed my magic bag, and scanned the room.

　In the room, there was a bed, a desk, a chair, and my backpack.

“Well, let’s start with the bed.” (Rook)

　The biggest one is the bed. The logical thing to do is to try the biggest one first.

　With that in mind, I opened the top of the bag, flipped it open, and put it over the corner of the bed. The magic bag then slipped over the corner of the bed.

“…” (Rook)

　The magic bag covered the corner of the bed.

“…” (Rook)

　I took the Magic Bag off the bed, laid the chair in front of the desk on its side, and put one leg into the darkness of the magic bag.

　Then the magic bag swallowed all the legs of the chair but stopped at the seat.

“…Well …That’s right.” (Rook)

　No matter how much it can ignore the laws of physics and store more substances than the normal capacity, the entrance is that of an ordinary bag. in short…

“…It can’t store anything larger than the size of the opening…” (Rook)

　It’s natural that people don’t think about it. Rather, why did I think that it was possible? Was I influenced by some game or fantasy novel? …Basically, the “item box” that appears in RPGs can store anything, and maybe that impression remained.

　I gave up on storing the bed and chair, and took out the items in the backpack and put them in one by one, all the items were stored, and there was nothing else to put in.

“I don’t know the limit with just this. Let’s leave testing the capacity later.” (Rook)

　I took out all the items from the magic bag and moved on to the next experiment.

“Next is whether time moves inside the bag?” (Rook)

　In most RPGs, the main character can hold onto food and other items for a long time without them spoiling. It means that time doesn’t move while inside…

“I just recently failed because of my biased thoughts…” (Rook)

　Well, I should still verify it.

　But there I have no clock to verify it. It’s easy to know if there’s ice, but there is none here. Oh, should I get some hot water at the bar? …No, they are quite busy it might be difficult?

“Hmm… hot water… well, can’t I make it?” (Rook)

　I had a feeling that I could do it.

　Placing the pot I left on the bed on the desk and pouring the rest of the wine from the canteen inside, the wine amounted to about a quarter of the pot.

“Sacred Flame, bringer of silence [Holy Fire].” (Rook)

　Then, while reminding myself to reduce the output as much as possible, I used my index finger to conjure the white fire of the [Holy Fire] and gently placed it inside the pot.

　Then the wine around the white ball of fire began to boil, and as soon as it boiled, it spilled out of the pot.

“Woah! Oh, oh!? Ouch! Ahhh!” (Rook)

　And the verification work was temporarily suspended.

　Don’t try this, children!
