That evening, as a sign of support for the start of special training, Sei and Byakko-sama were excused from preparing dinner, but when dinner was ready, Sei came to the dining room and was very limp to the sight.
â⌠I have no idea what Tora was explaining.â
Right! I thought this would be the case!
âHuh? Why not? You just grab the thing you want to store and push it into a space that isnât here, and to take it out, you grab the same thing you want to take out and pull it out, right?ăIsnât that easy?â
No, that doesnât explain anything!?
âUmm, Byakko-sama⌠that kind of explanation might be a little confusedâŚ?â
When I offered a helping hand, Sei looked at me with a sullen look in his eyes.
âRight!? You think so too, Miss Cristea!?â
âYes, wellâŚâ
Sei was unusually desperate. I know that Byakko-samaâs explanations are a bit of a stretch, but just saying that itâs a space that doesnât belong here, I donât think people would understand.
âEven if you tell me thatâŚâ
âWhat do you mean by space that isnât there? Where am I supposed to put the things?â
I understand Seiâs point very well. I understand, butâŚ
âWhere on this planet are Miss Cristea and Miss Mariel storing their things!? This thought crossed my mind countless times, but when it comes to learning, I have so many questionsâŚâ
Yes, there it is~!
The one thing we canât answer!
Mariel-chan and I were able to learn it somewhat by feel from our past lifeâs nerd knowledge, but thatâs not the case with Sei.
It is very difficult to explain to someone who has no knowledge or concept of other dimensions or subspace in such a way that they can imagine it.
âErr, ummâŚâ
âItâs better not to think too hardâŚâ
As we puzzled over how to explain it, Seiâs shoulders slumped in disappointment.
âEven if I tell me not to think about it, thereâs no way I can learn something when I donât even know how it worksâŚâ
Ah, he slumped down even more.
Indeed, âDonât think! Feel!â is like being told to do something reckless.
âHmm⌠I will use this magic box to explain it to you.â
Eh, Mariel-chan?
âThis bag has the same effect as the Inventory, right? Where do you think the contents of this are stored?â
âEhâŚ? The inside⌠in a different place? Huh? Come to think of it, where is it stored?â
Sei is confused!
I am confused too!
Mariel-chan? Is this okay?
âI canât see it, but I know itâs right there. And it is there, frozen in time. Beyond this bag, there is a big space that you canât see, but itâs on a shelf there, and itâs just there until the moment itâs taken out of time.â
âTime is topped, you canât see it, but itâs thereâŚâ
âThink of the Inventory as the magic bag becoming your own invisible pocket. Inside the invisible pocket is a big space, and you store things in there.â
Mariel-chaaan!
Are you perhaps thinking of a certain pocket!?
âA pocketâŚâ
âYes. Itâs okay to start with a small pocket. As you get used to it, the pocket will get bigger and bigger on its one.â
âSmall pocket, get biggerâŚâ
âYes.â
â⌠I think I understand, yet I donât understand⌠but, thank you. I will try a little harder.â
âYes, do your best!â
Sei seemed to have regained his composure and, hungry as he was, he resumed eating and even had a second helping of food.
Iâm glad. Thereâs no need to rush, though, you will learn it sooner or later.
The next morning.
âGood morning! Thank you, Miss Mariel! I managed to learn it after training with the guidance of your knowledge! Look.â
Sei, who looked radiant, took out a Japanese sword⌠Yahatulian sword?
Eh, you were able to learn it with that explanation!?
Isnât Sei quite a cheater himself!?
⌠Rather, Sei, as I said, carrying weapons is forbidden!
