They Even Raised a Hakimi

Sister Mi quickly produced the spatial backpack. It looked like a very plain bag, much like the school bags everyone used outside.

The only difference was the superior material, and it featured only a single zipper. The opening was quite small, so it was likely impossible to fit anything bulky inside.

At most, one could store small items, but that was sufficient given the vast internal capacity that could hold a great deal.

Asuna took one look at the spatial backpack and decided to buy it immediately. She couldn't help but say, "Please wait a moment, I'll have my father transfer the money to me right now!"

With that, Asuna took out her phone and stepped aside to make a call. She didn't have that much money on her at the moment; her previous weapon purchase had already drained most of her funds.

To make the purchase, she had to ask her father for the money. Asuna stepped to the side, dialed her father's number, and explained the situation.

The person on the other end didn't hesitate after hearing Asuna's words and agreed straight away. This was an excellent channel; to think they could even acquire a spatial ring, and this spatial backpack was available for purchase as well.

The price of thirty million wasn't expensive at all. Her father didn't even pause, agreeing to transfer the money to Asuna without a second thought.

At this moment, Li Yu and the others were also gathered around Sister Mi, looking at the spatial backpack. Thirty million for a thing like this—it was truly absurd. Anything related to space was more expensive than the last.

Li Yu examined the item. The opening was fixed, but the internal space was incredibly vast, and it weighed only about three kilograms in his hand.

Even if it were filled to the brim, the weight would not change. It was no wonder this thing was sold at such an exorbitant price; perhaps it would be quite useful?

"I've decided to take this spatial backpack. I'll transfer the money to you now." As soon as Asuna returned from her call, she secured the item with Sister Mi.

The money arrived, and this time it was fifty million, leaving her with quite a bit left over. She could only think of how delightful that was, and with that thought, Asuna operated her phone to transfer the funds to Sister Mi.

Having received the money, Sister Mi said with a beaming smile, "Payment received. Come, let me teach you how to authenticate it, otherwise, anyone could open your bag."

Hearing the notification chime, Sister Mi knew the money had arrived without even looking. She immediately proceeded to the next step, beckoning Asuna over before activating a magic circle on the spatial backpack.

"Inject your magic power into it. It will then permanently record your magic signature. From now on, you must inject magic power to open it. Of course, internal energy works too." Sister Mi reached out and released a magic circle, activating the enchantment on the bag.

Watching this magic circle, a new spell instantly surfaced in Li Yu's mind, named Magic Lock, a spell used to seal certain objects.

Is this a type of sealing magic? Li Yu thought to himself. This spell might be useful in the future; he would make a note of it!

Asuna followed Sister Mi's instructions, injecting her magic power into the magic circle. The next moment, the circle began to rotate, seemingly recording something.

Once everything was complete, the magic circle vanished, sinking directly into the backpack. After finishing, Sister Mi demonstrated it for Asuna.

This time, no matter how hard she pulled, the opening would not budge. Sister Mi explained, "Except for you, no one else can open this space unless you authorize them. This bag can be authorized for up to five people."

Asuna listened to Sister Mi's explanation very seriously. Those without permission could not open this space, not even by force.

If one tried to force it open, the contents would be instantly swallowed by spatial turbulence, and the entire backpack would be reduced to scrap.

Of course, it would only be destroyed if damaged to a certain degree; generally, this thing was very difficult to break. To destroy it, one would need at least Tier 7 strength.

This was also why it was so expensive—in a pinch... you could use it as a shield. Its hardness was enough to withstand attacks below Tier 7.

"That's amazing!" The more Asuna heard, the more she felt the purchase was worth it. The money hadn't been spent in vain; she would go out and buy supplies to fill it up tomorrow.

The shopping trip had come to an end, and everyone had bought their desired weapons. Feeling that was enough, Li Yu bid farewell to Sister Mi and left.

Li Yu still needed to go to the homes of Yukino Yukinoshita and Kato Megumi to draw magic circles; he didn't have time to linger here.

"Well then, Sister Mi, we'll be going!" Li Yu walked out of the shop and said goodbye to Sister Mi, who watched the group leave with a smile on her face.

Li Yu and the others parted ways with Xia Yu and her group outside, then headed toward the location of Yukino Yukinoshita's home. Xia Yu and the others didn't live in that direction.

"Let's go to Yukino's place first, then to Kato's. Your place isn't far, is it?" Li Yu asked as they walked.

Hearing Li Yu, Yukino Yukinoshita nodded. She turned to look at Kato Megumi and said, "It's not very far. Although I haven't been there, it seems quite close."

"It's just nearby, one street over," Kato Megumi explained. They lived in the same district, which she knew for certain because she had seen Yukino Yukinoshita coming out of that apartment building.

"Then let's go. Once I'm done, I need to go buy groceries." Li Yu nodded, and without further ado, he signaled for Yukino Yukinoshita to pick up the pace.

Hearing Li Yu's urging, Yukino Yukinoshita rolled her eyes, but she didn't refuse. After all, it would be quite late by the time Li Yu finished everything and headed home.

Under her guidance, Li Yu soon arrived at the apartment building where Yukino Yukinoshita lived. She lived on the second floor, so they didn't wait for the elevator and walked straight up.

However, upon reaching Yukino Yukinoshita's room, Li Yu and the others heard meowing from inside. Hearing the sound, Yukino Yukinoshita hurriedly unlocked the door with her key.

Then... Li Yu and the others saw two kittens rolling around on the floor. Given the fur scattered about, it was clear they had been fighting.

"You actually keep kittens?" Li Yu was a bit surprised to see them, but he quickly understood; after all, Yukino was a cat lover.

"Honestly, fighting again!" Yukino Yukinoshita sighed helplessly as she stepped forward to separate them. Judging by her tone, it seemed these two kittens fought often.

"Everyone come in, make yourselves at home," Yukino Yukinoshita invited them, then carried the two cats over to their cage to settle them down.

Entering the room, Li Yu was stunned by what he saw, as Yukino Yukinoshita had moved everything out of her room, and her bed was now placed in the living room!
