Sister Mi quickly brought out the Space Backpack. It looked like a very ordinary backpack, much like the schoolbags people used outside.
The only difference was that it was made of better material. It had just one zipper, and the opening was only so wide, so it probably couldn't fit anything particularly large.
At most, you could put small things inside, but that was enough, since it had plenty of room and could hold a lot.
Asuna glanced at the Space Backpack and immediately decided to buy it. "Please wait a moment. I'll have my father transfer the money!"
With that, Asuna took out her phone and went to the side to make a call. She didn't have that much money on her right now; the weapons she'd bought earlier had already used up almost all of it.
So if she wanted to buy it, she'd have to ask her father for money. Asuna stepped aside, called him, and explained the situation.
When he heard what Asuna had to say, he didn't hesitate. This was a great opportunity—she could even get her hands on a Space Ring, and the Space Backpack was available for purchase too.
Thirty million wasn't all that expensive. He agreed at once, without a second thought, and told Asuna he'd transfer the money.
Meanwhile, Li Yu and the others had gathered around Sister Mi to look at the Space Backpack. Thirty million for this one thing? That was ridiculous. Anything related to space seemed to cost a fortune.
Li Yu took a closer look. The opening was fixed, but the inside was enormous, and the backpack weighed only about three kilograms.
Even if you filled it with things, its weight wouldn't change. No wonder it was so absurdly expensive. Maybe it would be really useful?
"I've decided to buy the Space Backpack. I'll transfer the money now." As soon as Asuna returned from her call, she confirmed the purchase with Sister Mi.
The money had already arrived, and this time it was fifty million, so she'd still have plenty left over. Asuna was delighted as she used her phone to transfer the money to Sister Mi.
Smiling when she received it, Sister Mi said, "I've got the money. Come over, and I'll show you how to register it. Otherwise, anyone could open your backpack."
At the sound of the notification, Sister Mi knew the money had arrived without even checking. She moved on to the next step, calling Asuna over and activating a Magic Array on the Space Backpack.
"Infuse it with your magic power, and it'll remember your energy. From now on, you'll need to use your magic power to open it. True Qi works too." Sister Mi raised a hand and conjured a Magic Array, activating the magic on the backpack.
As Li Yu watched the Magic Array, a new spell suddenly came to mind: Magic Lock, a spell used to seal things.
Was it a type of sealing magic? This spell might come in handy someday, Li Yu thought. He'd better remember it!
Asuna followed Sister Mi's instructions and infused the Magic Array with her magic power. The array began to spin, seemingly recording something.
When the process was complete, the Magic Array disappeared and sank into the backpack. Once everything was done, Sister Mi demonstrated it for Asuna.
No matter how hard she tugged, the opening wouldn't budge. Sister Mi then explained, "No one but you can open this lock unless you authorize someone else to use it. You can grant access to up to five people."
Asuna listened intently. Anyone without permission couldn't open the space, even by force.
If someone tried to break it open, everything inside would be swallowed by the spatial turbulence, and the backpack would be rendered useless.
Of course, it had to be damaged to a certain extent before it was ruined. In general, these things were difficult to destroy; anyone hoping to break one would need to be at least seventh rank.
That was another reason it was so expensive. In a pinch... you could use it as a shield. It was sturdy enough to withstand attacks below the seventh rank.
"That's amazing!" The more Asuna heard, the more she felt the backpack was worth the price. The money hadn't gone to waste. Tomorrow, she'd go shopping and fill it with supplies.
Their shopping trip was over. Everyone had bought the weapons they wanted, and once they'd had enough, Li Yu said goodbye to Sister Mi and left.
Next, Li Yu still had to go to Yukino Yukinoshita and Kato Megumi's homes to draw Magic Arrays. He didn't have time to linger.
"Then we'll be going, Sister Mi!" Li Yu walked out of the shop and said goodbye. Sister Mi smiled as she watched the group leave.
Outside, Li Yu and the Yukinoshitas said goodbye to Xia Yu and the others, then headed toward Yukino Yukinoshita's home. Xia Yu and her companions lived in a different direction.
"Let's go to Yukino's place first, then Kato's. Your homes should be close, right?" Li Yu asked as they walked.
At his question, Yukino Yukinoshita nodded, then turned to Kato Megumi. "They're not too far apart. I've never been to her place, but I think it's quite close."
"It's nearby, just one street over," Kato Megumi explained. They lived in the same neighborhood, and she knew that because she'd seen Yukino Yukinoshita coming out of the apartment building.
"Then let's go. I need to buy groceries after we finish." Li Yu nodded and didn't waste time. He urged Yukino Yukinoshita to pick up the pace.
At Li Yu's urging, Yukino Yukinoshita rolled her eyes, but didn't refuse. By the time they finished everything and Li Yu got home, it would already be quite late.
With Yukino Yukinoshita leading the way, Li Yu soon arrived at her apartment building. She lived on the second floor, so they didn't wait for the elevator and simply walked up.
But when they reached Yukino Yukinoshita's room, Li Yu and the others heard meowing from inside. As soon as she heard it, Yukino Yukinoshita hurriedly unlocked the door.
And then... Li Yu and the others saw two Hajimi rolling around on the floor. With all the fur scattered about, it looked like they'd been fighting.
"You're raising Hajimi too?" Li Yu was a little surprised to see the two Hajimi, but soon came around. After all, Yukino was a cat lover.
"Honestly, they're fighting again!" Yukino Yukinoshita went over helplessly and separated them. From the way she said it, the two Hajimi seemed to fight all the time.
"Come on in. Make yourselves at home." Yukino Yukinoshita ushered them inside, then carried the two cats over to their cage and put them in.
Li Yu was taken aback by what he saw when he entered. Yukino Yukinoshita had moved the things out of her room, and her bed was set up in the living room!
