Chapter 22: “Inventory”
“Oh, that’s right, Boss, that uh… ‘in-vin-tor-ee’ thing from before, tell us more about it.”
“Ah, yes, that’s right.”
Damn, she actually remembered. It’s probably because her INT went up. But what Rare had said before was just something random she concocted because she didn’t feel like explaining it.
“If we could use it too, then we coulda brought this thing back without damaging its hide.”
Now that she looked at it more closely, there were many little tears in the tanuki all running in the same direction. Since it was even larger than Hakuma, they probably had to drag it back here. True, if they had access to an inventory, that would solve this problem perfectly. If all the girls had an inventory, the convenience would be immeasurable. However, the inventory was part of the game system. Players could use it right from the start, but NPCs could not.
For the time being, she could just describe how it felt for her when she used her inventory. If they were unable to understand it, she could think about having them learn [Space Magic] sometime down the line. Not that [Space Magic] had been confirmed to have any particular relation; it was unclear if there was a skill that functioned similarly to the player inventory.
“Let me see… I think I said before, but it’s like there’s an invisible bag that’s either right next to me or kind of overlapping my body. I open the mouth of the bag in the palm of my hand, then I can put whatever I want into it. If it’s too big and I don’t think I can ‘put it in,’ then I can do this and ‘cover’ it with the bag.”
While explaining, Rare put the tanuki pelt into her inventory.
“And like so, it goes in. No need to use force. The bag’s mouth is very large, very flexible, and, well, it’s just a very convenient thing to have.”
