My preparations are now complete, and I had also already memorized the transportation spell. The next thing to consider now will be the way to travel.

Because I have already mastered the [Item Box], I can simply move about with just my body alone.

It is certainly incomparably easier than the usual way.

However, inside the Magicpedia spells which I have memorized, I noticed one spell which can halve the time of this journey.

Using it may be unusual but it should be possible.

First, let's check the spell.

I took the Magicpedia off and placed it inside the [Item Box].

The reason I did was to check whether I had already mastered the spell or not.

Then I began walking in circles around the woods.

When I thought everything's fine, a wild rabbit appeared.

“[Bind]!”

I used the low-grade restriction spell, [Bind].

It's a spell to stop the target's movement.

Since it is low-grade, it won't have any effect on stronger prey, and if I touch the target and moved it, the bind will be removed.

It's quite a troublesome spell, but it is enough for now.

I got closer to the bound wild rabbit to grab it so it won't escape.

And then,

“[Summon Contract: Contract]”

I cast the spell to the captured wild rabbit.

There are 2 categories of summoning magic.

First is the contract with spirits that dwells in nature, and the other is contracting with other living things and binding them before calling it out with the summoning contract.

For the summoning, it is important to make a contract with the target first.

As for me, I made a contract with this wild rabbit.

The light from the spell enveloped the wild rabbit's whole body, and while grabbing the wild rabbit, I recast the spell. [1]

“[Summon Contract: Wild Rabbit]”

I don't care even if I have to shout, since for magic, ultimately, it all depends on the tension in your voice to activate the spell, and shouting is one of the easiest methods to do it.

After the spell succeeded, another wild rabbit that looks identical from the one I had in my hand appeared.

And when that wild rabbit was about to run away from me…

“[Release]”

Instantly, the rabbit I summoned, disappeared with a [poof] sound.

Summoning contract's other characteristic:

It's not the contracted creature itself, but a phantom of it, that will be called upon.

From the looks of it, the summon also has the ability of the contracted.

I released the wild rabbit in my hand.

The test had succeeded.

Next is the real deal.

I took a deep breath and then created a magic circle beneath my feet.

Whether the contract will succeed or not, will depend on the caster's power and will.

First, it won't work with someone stronger than me. And even if their power is the same as mine, it won't succeed when there's a resistance.

With that thought, I cast the spell to myself.

“[Summon Contract: Contract]”

Even if I have the same ability being the caster and the target, and there's no will of resistance at all,

I thought that the success rate will be 50:50 but I safely succeeded.

[Summon Contract: Liam]

I used magic and summoned my phantom.

“Is it a success?”

“It seems so.”

“How does it feel?”

“Normal, other than seeing [me] in front, there's nothing strange.”

“Is that so?”

I normally talked with my summoned phantom.

“Yosh! Time for the last test.”

“Yeah. So, am I going to put it in or take it out? Which one?”

“First, I'll be putting it in. After that, you take it out.”

“Alright.”

My phantom and I nodded at each other.

I'm going first.

“[Item Box]”

I called out the [Item Box]. First, let's try putting a rock from my surroundings.

After that, I closed the [Item Box].

“Here it goes…[Item Box]”

My phantom then used the [Item box] and from there, he took out the rock that I placed inside.

“It seems possible.”

“Try from that side.”

“Yeah.”

My phantom nodded. He put a small branch inside the opened [Item Box].

As a sign, with bakii! he snapped it and placed it inside in a state where it is almost split into two.

Then he erased the [Item box].

Now it's my turn to summon [Item Box].

I put my hand inside… there!

I took out the snapped branch.

“Which means, between the original and the phantom…”

“…the [Item Box] is the same.”

“Looks like it. Then, I leave it to you.”

“Yeah, I'm off.”

My phantom said that and then departed from the woods.

I closed the [Item Box].

Lastly, I checked the inside.

White Charcoal: 318 kg

Instant Noodle: 1045 serving

How will this turn out…

3 Days later, I kept on practicing my magic and carefully checked the inside of my [Item Box].

By the way, I didn't add anything else.

I refrained from adding anything else until my plan succeeds.

I know that traveling and selling in the city takes around 3 days.

3rd day at noon.

White Charcoal: 318 kg

Jamille Silver Coin: 36 pieces [2]

“It's here!”

The instant that the [Item Box] list had changed, I excitedly raised my voice.

Then I took out 1 piece of coin from my [Item Box].

The instant noodles I made have been converted into silver coins.

I made my phantom go through a 3-day one-way trip, deliver the content to the [Item Box] and now, I'm taking out the money I got from the [Item Box].

Lastly,

White Charcoal: 318 kg

Jamille Silver Coin: 35 pieces

Hamilton Crest: 1 piece

After putting in the sign item inside.

“[Release]”

I released my own phantom.

Like this, I have made the 6 day-trip of traveling, selling and then back home, to a 3-day one-way trip.
