Mnotia's Den

 "Mmm… So this one is a miss too…?" I set aside the Holy Coins I had been offering to the goddess statue. I thought the proper way was to dedicate the Holy Coins to the goddess statue, but was I wrong? They all looked the same as the Holy Coins I had before, so I figured this should work… I tried all 38, but nothing happened. I could just let them sit until they became exchangeable, but having this many in one place feels like a waste to just leave them. "Maybe it’s all about spirit…?" I tried to recall how it was the first time—was I really fired up back then? "Haaaahhhhhh!" "Kieeeehhhhhh!" "Chuaaaaahhh! … cough cough …" I choked. And still, nothing happened… "Guess not…" Pulling them felt random, but when the gacha activated, I wasn’t particularly fired up. Which means… "Is it about the number?" 2, 4, 6… 10! Let’s go with a clean 10. I grabbed one of the stacks of ten and offered it to the godde...

 【Hideout】 greets you from within. It has been ten days since I hid in the carriage and left the town where I had been staying. The day after I left the orphanage and snuck into the carriage stop, people from the church arrived, and we departed that very day. Apparently, the weather was looking a bit suspicious, so they decided to hurry, even if it meant pushing themselves a little. That was a close call. In these ten days, we have passed through five villages and two towns, experiencing one bandit attack and four monster attacks. Both were small-scale incidents, but if I had been traveling alone, I would have undoubtedly died. That was a close call. I watched those battles while lazily lying on the living room sofa. No, it was truly amazing. The sight of swords and spears swinging and cutting down enemies was impressive, but more than anything, the magic was extraordinary. The mage wasn’t dressed in the stereotypical robe and pointy hat but rather in light armor—just li...

 It has been ten days since then. During that time, I tried various things and discovered a few things. First, regarding 【Hideout】 itself. To enter, you simply need to imagine opening a door on a flat surface like a wall or floor. The first time I activated it, I was lying down facing a wall, thinking about opening a door. Considering how rare such a situation is in daily life, I was pretty lucky. The door is about two meters tall and one meter wide. As long as I enter with them, objects can be brought inside as well. I tested it by storing water and monitoring how it decreased—it seemed to follow the same passage of time as the outside world. I can’t just throw anything and everything inside, but as a storage space, it’s flawless. Leaving the room is simple. I just have to walk out the door. Next, about the contents of the room. All the furniture I once used was still there. Tables, sofas, beds, and even appliances like a refrigerator, air conditioner, and computer re...
