Lloyd must have thought I was kidnapped from my village or something. In reality, I’ve been here for a couple days. Well, I have the map of where I would need to go now. Going East to the frontier would be a pain, so I decided to settle for the nearest one, the Rin Lordship.

    Giving my thanks, I do a short bow and go downstairs to my room. I really needed to check what I swallowed from the ring.

    Maybe there’s a way to bring a list of items like the list of apps I had on my phone? I close my eyes.

    Focus.

    Focus.

    Focus.

    Nope, nothing. Oh well, old fashioned but:

    “Empty all!”

    Without a sound, multiple sachets appeared along with-

    So many crystals?

    I grabbed a random one. So, can I input energy to this?

    No, I can’t.

    It immediately dissipated into dust. Did someone already absorb all the lingering mana inside it? Wait, it was probably me who absorbed a bunch of the crystals. Moving on!

    There were multiple sachets filled to the brim as if they each looked like they would explode. I lifted up one to face level.

    *Drop*

    How heavy…

    For now, I’ll just return these to the storage.

    I look around my room. What I initially thought was littered with gems, only few more actually remained. Two emeralds for each of the closet handles and a small sapphire one on the door.

    Without wanting to subject my poor horns to anymore “trouble”, I just dig my nails in as much as I can to rip it out. So, what will I do with this one? I grip the crystal and try to recreate my idea of draining mana through contact. A blue light shimmered and-

    *munch*

    Now I more or less have something to deal with my fatigue!

    Time to go outside!

    Wait, would it be too suspicious if I went outside by myself?

    Now where would Emil be? Even Marie or Lloyd would be fine, as long as they let me “explore” freely. Time to exit my room-

    *wack*

    Huh? Emil?

    “Master Emil, are you alright,”

    I rush to aid him stand.

    “Uhm, I-I’m fine!”

    Why was he so nervous?

    “If you wouldn’t mind, could we go to town again?”

    The only person who still treated me with respect…

    “Of course!”

    Time to see if I can settle the score with the alleyway thugs.
