Episode 14: Item Box

 

◇

 

Naturally, as a healer, I excel at healing magic. But that doesn’t mean I can’t use offensive magic at all. Ever since I realized I had reincarnated, I had naturally understood this.

 

In "Sieg," even healers were designed to be able to play solo to some extent. It seems the same applies to this world.

 

Now, let me explain why my offensive magic is stronger compared to regular mages.

 

"Attacks with an attribute have their effect increased by 1.5 times. Additionally, if it’s an advantageous attribute, it gets multiplied by another 2.0. In other words, adding the 3x advantageous attribute multiplier to the 5 attributes gives you a 5.5x increase. That's why it's stronger compared to mages who only use a single attribute."

 

I carefully explained the basic damage calculation.

 

"I see… So, you're strong because you can use various attributes, right, Rain?"

 

"Well, that's about right."

 

…It might have been a bit too complicated for Milia, who lacks game knowledge.

 

But it's mostly correct, so it should be fine.

 

Anyway.

 

"So, about collecting the defeated monsters?"

 

"Oh, right!"

 

"First, let's gather them all in one place."

 

Using basic wind magic, "Cyclone," I floated the monsters’ corpses and moved them in front of me, piling them up.

 

"With this many, collecting materials alone will be tough… I have to do my best!"

 

This world is similar to the game I know, but in parts like this, it differs with the need for such tedious tasks.

 

In the game, no matter how much luggage you had, you could just stuff it into the item box… While thinking that—

 

"Huh?"

 

I managed to open the item box.

 

In front of me appeared a magical circle with geometric patterns. If it’s the same as the game, this should be a gate connected to an interdimensional space for storing items.

 

I just thought about wanting to use the item box, and it appeared.

 

"Milia, we might not need to dismantle them."

 

"What do you mean? Whoa!"

 

Milia looked extremely surprised as I started putting monsters into the item box one after another.

 

"W-What’s happening? The monsters are disappearing… Can you take them out?"

 

"No problem. Look."

 

I reached into the geometric magic circle and pulled out a monster.

 

"Amazing… Is there no limit to how much you can store?"

 

"I don't know, but this much should be fine."

 

"I can't believe you can do this… Rain, you’re incredible…!"

 

"Haha…"

 

Stop it… You're making me blush.

 

In reality, I just happen to have the knowledge, and it's nothing special.

 

"Alright, let’s continue hunting monsters until time’s up—"

 

"What’s wrong?"

 

"I sensed some strong magic."

 

Healing magic requires delicate manipulation of magic. Because of this, I can naturally sense monsters’ magic like a sensor.

 

"It's moving… which means it's a monster. And a pretty strong one. Probably… an area boss."

 

"An area boss!?"

 

It’s no wonder Milia is surprised.

 

Area bosses are super powerful monsters that appear randomly within certain areas, offering a ton of experience points and rare items if defeated.

 

However, they’re usually too difficult to defeat alone or even in pairs, so the best course of action is to run away as fast as you can when you encounter one.

 

"I'm so glad you found it quickly, Rain. Let's hurry back!"

 

"No, let’s go defeat it."

 

"Whoa! What are you saying!?"
