“Is today some kind of celebration?”
When Lewis, the second son, said this while looking back and forth between his father and mother, the fourth son, Royce, snorted through his nose.
“At my celebration the other day, we had whole roasted chicken! It was much more luxurious!”
The “celebration” Royce mentioned was the day he obtained the “Earth Magic” skill at the “Blessing Ceremony.” By the way, on Ren’s “Blessing Ceremony” day, the only thing different from usual was berry juice. Thinking about it now, they had probably prepared to serve whole roasted chicken like they did for Royce, but perhaps they stopped because the skill Ren obtained was a “dud.” Whether the berry juice was coincidental or meant as a celebration is a mystery, but Ren remembered that there were no congratulatory words from the family at the dinner table.
Due to Royce’s comment, everyone seemed to conclude that today’s dinner of sauteed horn rabbit just happened to be a bit luxurious. Everyone began eating deliciously.
(Everyone looks happy, so, well, I guess it’s fine)
Ren also cut into the sauteed horn rabbit. After the light crunch of the outer layer, the soft inner fibers gently came apart. Clear meat juices seeped from the cut.
He took a bite.
First came the modest stimulation of salt. The robust umami of a beast that had run through the wild filled his tongue.
(Yeah, delicious)
Chewing, a smile naturally formed on his lips. It wasn’t his first time eating horn rabbit meat, but the fact that he had hunted it himself for the first time, even if by chance, seemed to enhance the flavor.
After dinner, Ren returned to his room, placed the glowing small box on his bed, and then took out one small silver coin from his leather drawstring bag, holding it over the glowing small box.
“This is a small silver coin… Um, 100G…”
It was Ren’s first time holding coins. When buying his knife or at the dining hall, he had somehow handed over silver coins or large copper coins without really understanding.
“Silver coins, I already used them, but they were 1000G, right?”
Silver coin: 1000G
Small silver coin: 100G
Large copper coin: 10G
Copper coin: 1G
Small silver coins are small and shine silver. Large copper coins are about twice the size of copper coins. They have distinct features, so they should be distinguishable.
“If I have ten small silver coins, they become a silver coin.”
As he tried to count the small silver coins, he casually placed the small silver coin he was holding on top of the glowing small box.
Clink
“Huh?”
The small silver coin had entered the glowing small box. Surprised, Ren lifted the small box.
Clatter-clatter
The small silver coin rolled around inside the small box, making sounds.
“Oh no. C-come out!”
He shook the small box in panic, and the small silver coin that was inside rolled out.
Whew He let out a sigh of relief.
“That scared me! What was that?”
He tried to place the small silver coin on the glowing small box once more, but hesitated slightly and picked up a copper coin instead. Considering the possibility that it might not come back out, he thought the loss would be less with a copper coin. Despite thinking it might not return, he couldn’t help but want to test it.
“Alright. Copper coin, go in!”
Clink
As he willed it while placing the copper coin on the glowing small box, just like with the small silver coin, the copper coin entered the small box. When he shook the small box while willing it to come out, it properly came back out.
“G-good. Now two!”
He decided to try increasing the number of copper coins he put in the small box.
Clink Ching
The copper coins clinked as they hit each other inside the small box.
“Ooh…!”
He added one more, then another. While there was still space in the small box, he ran out of copper coins.
Jingle-jingle
After confirming that he could properly retrieve multiple copper coins, he tried putting both a small silver coin and copper coins in the small box at the same time.
“This works too… I wonder what happens if I make the small box disappear… Ah!”
As he was imagining what would happen if he made the small box disappear, the small box actually vanished from before his eyes.
“But I had a small silver coin in it!”
If he was going to experiment with making the small box disappear while coins were inside, he had intended to test with just one copper coin. However, the small box disappeared while containing all his copper coins and one small silver coin.
