Chapter 6

Innocent Treasure Box

โ€œItโ€™s forbidden.โ€

โ€œH-huh?โ€

It seems that my magic had indeed accumulated to 5, allowing me to create the treasure chest using my magical energy.

In exchange for that, I ended up falling asleep, and when I woke up, I found Fiona-samaโ€™s dissatisfied face right in front of me.

โ€œNo pushing yourself. Thatโ€™s an order from the Demon Lord.โ€

โ€œIt wasnโ€™t exactly pushing myselfโ€ฆโ€

โ€œYou understand, right?โ€

โ€œโ€ฆYes.โ€

If I think of it as her worrying about the health of her subordinate, this workplace might actually be relatively good.

With a little sense of reassurance about my environment going forward, I decided to check on the treasure chest that I had left unattended.

โ€œIt looks like a typical treasure chest.โ€

โ€œIโ€™m not sure what you mean by โ€˜typical,โ€™ but itโ€™s the same as the ones generated in dungeons.โ€

โ€œDungeons generate treasure chests?โ€

โ€œYes. If thereโ€™s abundant magic within the dungeon, it gathers and generates treasure chests.โ€

Maybe itโ€™s a system to consume the excess magic that has built up. In my case, I use skills to consume it first.

So, unless I choose to create a treasure chest, it probably wouldnโ€™t be created on its own.

โ€œAlso, the more you leave it alone, the more magic is injected into it, and eventually, it turns into weapons, armor, or items to help intrudersโ€ฆ Itโ€™s quite troublesome.โ€

โ€œCouldnโ€™t we just collect it before the intruders arrive?โ€

โ€œIt seems demons canโ€™t open themโ€ฆ Itโ€™s really a system that feels like the dungeonโ€™s way of causing trouble.โ€

Once again, Fiona-sama gazed off into the distance.

Could it be that this Demon Lord is going through a lot of trouble?

โ€œIn that case, it might have been a bad idea to create it carelessly. Iโ€™m sorry.โ€

โ€œNo, it will end up being created on its own anyway. Itโ€™s better that we know where it is like this.โ€

If I manage the magic within the dungeon, it should stop being created on its own.

So, Fiona-sama must have said that to show her consideration for me.

โ€œBut, itโ€™s a shame we canโ€™t open it after all the trouble of making it.โ€

The chest had the classic treasure chest design.

Even if Iโ€™ve never played this kind of game, Iโ€™m drawn to its romantic shape.

I wanted to open it and get whatever was inside, but I lightly tapped the chestโ€™s lid with my hand, feeling a bit regretful.

โ€œHuhโ€ฆ it opened.โ€

The chest opened easily, as there was no lock.

Inside was a single glass bottle containing green liquid.

โ€œโ€ฆI opened a treasure chest. Even though Iโ€™m a demon? Maybe itโ€™s because Iโ€™m a reincarnator. Or maybe itโ€™s because of my authority as the dungeon master?โ€

Fiona-sama was surprised but quickly started thinking about the cause.

However, she seemed unable to reach a conclusion and seemed to accept that, for now, I was the one able to open the chest.

โ€œThat characteristic of yours is wonderful. This way, even if a treasure chest is made, it wonโ€™t be misused by other races.โ€

โ€œIโ€™m not sure whatโ€™s inside, but maybe it could be used to replenish supplies.โ€

I handed Fiona-sama the item I had just found, and she observed it with her fantastical, translucent eyes.

Perhaps because her features were so well-defined, everything she did looked beautiful, like a painting.

โ€œItโ€™s a healing potionโ€ฆ Unfortunately, itโ€™s the weakest kind.โ€

โ€œSo, it seems the quality of whatโ€™s inside treasure chests isnโ€™t something we can expect much from.โ€

โ€œโ€ฆNo, perhaps we might be able to improve the quality.โ€

As expected from the king who had made the dungeon his base.

Unlike me, who lacks knowledge, she quickly came up with some method.

โ€œShall we try making a treasure chest again?โ€

โ€œโ€ฆโ€

Why the sideways glance now?

โ€œArenโ€™t you worried you might collapse if you overdo it?โ€

โ€œIf I use my own magic, I might collapse from exhaustion while trying to recover.โ€

โ€œThen, itโ€™s not a good idea.โ€

Hmmโ€ฆ A white Demon Lord armyโ€ฆ

It seems that using the dungeonโ€™s magic is the only option.

As I was thinking about that, I noticed the healing potion that Fiona-sama was holding.

โ€œDoes that healing potion also recover magic?โ€

โ€œYes, but only a little.โ€

Since my magic is also quite low, it shouldnโ€™t be a problem.

In fact, I might be able to restore all my magic with just that healing potion.

โ€œIn that case, if I make a treasure chest and then use the healing potion to recover my magic before I collapse, maybe I wonโ€™t lose consciousness.โ€

โ€œโ€ฆThatโ€™s quite a dangerous idea youโ€™ve come up with. If you donโ€™t make it in time, youโ€™ll pass out, you know?โ€

โ€œโ€ฆWellโ€ฆโ€

โ€œWell, fine. In that case, Iโ€™ll force you to drink it myself.โ€

โ€œThank youโ€ฆโ€

I finally got permission.

In that case, I would make the treasure chest with my own magic and not waste the dungeonโ€™s magic.

I held the healing potion that Fiona-sama had given me in one hand, while preparing to touch the menu screen with the other.


Treasure Chest Creation: Magic Cost 5

I selected the option.

Before I knew it, the sleepiness suddenly overwhelmed me, like my mind had been shut off.

If I could drink the healing potion before I passed outโ€ฆ

โ€œHahโ€ฆโ€

โ€œโ€ฆWatching you, this seems quite dangerous.โ€

โ€œI-Iโ€™m sorryโ€ฆ Iโ€™ll do it better next timeโ€ฆโ€

โ€œI hope you donโ€™t push yourself next timeโ€ฆโ€

Somehow, the plan worked.

The sleepiness quickly disappeared, and my head and body werenโ€™t feeling any particular discomfort.

โ€œWell, itโ€™s the same type of treasure chest as before.โ€

โ€œYes, all newly created treasure chests look like this.โ€

Saying that, Fiona-sama placed her palm over the chest.

The chest gradually began changing, becoming more luxurious in appearance.

โ€œEh, w-whatโ€™s going on here!?โ€

โ€œIโ€™m injecting magic into it. As expected, it seems that by absorbing the excess magic from the dungeon, the quality of the chest improves. And it looks like I can achieve the same effect by injecting my own magic.โ€

The wooden chest had already transformed into a luxurious metal one.

It looked like something that would appear in a late-stage dungeon, rather than the early one we were in.

โ€œโ€ฆBut I can already tell. By injecting magic, it seems that the contents are also changing to match the quality of the chest.โ€

โ€œEh, really? I want to try too.โ€

โ€œRey, you canโ€™t. Youโ€™ll collapse again, right?โ€

With a smile, Fiona-sama warned me.

Once my magic increases, Iโ€™ll try it out myself.

โ€œโ€ฆI never thought about the limits of treasure chests before, but they really seem to absorb a lot of magic.โ€

Fiona-sama had been injecting magic for several minutes now.

I wondered what changes were happening inside the chest.

โ€œDespite my appearance, I have quite a bit of magic. It seems like Iโ€™m about to reach the limit and will have about 90% of my magic in it.โ€

โ€œEh!?โ€

Despite how she looks, Fiona-sama is obviously the strongest in the world.

So, 90% of her magic is already 9,000 magic points?

โ€œโ€ฆWell, this seems to be the limit. As expected, about 90%.โ€

โ€œO-okayโ€ฆ Thank you for your hard workโ€ฆโ€

At this point, I was very curious about the contents.

The treasure chest, reinforced with almost all of the Demon Lordโ€™s magic.

It must contain something far superior to the low-level healing potion we saw earlier.

Shaking with anticipation, I opened the chest.

โ€œโ€ฆAnother healing potion?โ€

Despite the large size of the chest, there was only a small glass bottle inside, almost like it was overpackaged.

The shape of the bottle seemed more refined than the one from before.

And most notably, the color of the liquid was completely different.

It shone in a rainbow of colors, constantly shifting. Honestly, the color made me hesitant to drink it, but it suggested an extraordinary effect.

As I pulled out the โ€œgaming healing potion,โ€ Fiona-samaโ€™s face went pale with shock.

It seemed she recognized this item too.

Before I could ask what it was, Fiona-sama muttered something, and I was shocked as well.

โ€œA revival potionโ€ฆโ€

A revival potionโ€ฆ

Does that mean it has the power to resurrect the deadโ€ฆ?
