"You, come with me," Vaelyth said, then led Noan out of the room.
Monica let out a long sigh. Suddenly, she recalled the time before she came to this world and murmured, "Captain... I wonder if you're still waiting for me?"
…
Noan was brought by Vaelyth to a room deep in the basement. After unlocking countless magical seals, they finally arrived at the treasure vault.
Inside were countless energy crystals, alongside weapons and rare alchemical ingredients. At the center of the room was an energy crystal radiating a dazzling light that immediately drew Noan's attention.
"That is…" Noan frowned.
"That is an S-rank energy crystal," Vaelyth explained: "I never had a use for it, so I kept it here. Initially, I planned to use it to maintain the freezing temperatures that would imprison Vinelord."
"But now that Vinelord has left this place, I no longer need it."
Noan glanced around the room and sighed inwardly. If only he had another Storage Space, everything would be much easier.
