First of all, I believe this is our first meeting. My name is Miyabi. Nice to meet you.

"Useless bastard! I’m going to expel you from the 'Golden Wind'!"

In the stone room, a man's voice echoed clearly.

Aleph, the handsome blonde hero, roughly took the magic bag from me and kicked me hard in the stomach. I contorted in pain. Being hit and kicked is nothing new to me.

"Ugh!"

I collapsed on the spot, spitting out vomit.

"Well, with this magic storage bag, we don’t need Zapp anymore, do we?"

Poporo, the well-endowed and heavily made-up mage, poked me with her staff. It hurt more than I expected.

"The magic bag doesn’t need to be fed or paid. We don’t even need to protect it. Exploration will be much more efficient from now on."

Hero Aleph spat at me. Why? Why am I being treated like this? Have I done something wrong to him?

"It’s a contract termination. Hey, Zapp, get all our stuff out."

Following the bald, muscular warrior Danny’s order, I obediently took everything out of the magic storage, not really understanding what was happening.

*Smack!*

Danny punched me in the head.

"There’s still more, right? I said get everything out!"

"Mr. Danny, there’s only my personal belongings left..."

*Kick!*

The extremely evil holy maiden Maria’s front kick hit me. Warm, red liquid overflowed from my mouth.

"Stop whining! Get everything out!"

Maria grabbed my hair and brought her beautiful face close to mine.

I resigned myself and took everything out of the magic storage.

My name is Zapp Goodfellow.

I work as a porter for the renowned adventurer party [Golden Wind], one of the most powerful and famous in the continent.

I wanted to be a strong and cool adventurer, but unfortunately, the only skill I acquired was magic storage, which can hold a large amount of various items.

While working odd jobs and earning daily wages through gathering quests, I received an invitation to join this party I had always admired. It was an incredibly wonderful feeling, like I was flying high in the sky.

However, the reality was the worst. In the party, I was treated as nothing more than a convenient bag.

Every day, I was called useless and subjected to violence. I tried my best to become a little stronger, but in this high-level party, there were almost no opportunities to fight, and my level never increased.

Still, I kept enduring, hoping that one day I would be as strong as the other party members.

Right now, we are in a treasure room on the 39th floor of the 'Primitive Dungeon,' one of the most difficult dungeons in the kingdom.

In the center of the wide room, illuminated by magical lights and surrounded by rough stone walls, there was a treasure chest. Poporo, the mage, detected and triggered a trap in front of it, allowing us to proceed safely.

After Poporo confirmed there were no more traps with her magic, I opened the treasure chest and found a mysterious bag. Poporo used an identification spell, and it turned out to be a magic bag with a larger storage capacity than mine.

"Useless bastard! Have a good life!"

Aleph put his belongings into the magic bag and turned his back on me.

"Mr. Aleph, you’re joking, right..."

I spoke to his back with a trembling voice.

"I’m not joking! The reward for all the trouble I’ve taken with you is a small compensation from your belongings. Well, be grateful I’m not taking your clothes, hahaha."

"Wow, Aleph is so kind."

"Follow us, trash!"

Poporo and Maria turned their backs on me and clung to Aleph’s arms.

"See you! If you make it back safely, I’ll buy you a drink!"

Danny also turned his back on me.

"Wait! Don’t leave me behind!"

I ran to Danny and clung to him.

"Don’t touch me! Scum!"

Danny shook me off and punched me fiercely.

I was thrown violently. Unfortunately, right in front of me was the pit trap in front of the treasure chest.

"AAAAAAH!"

I stumbled, lost my balance, and was sucked into the hole.

Thank you for reading. The story is about to begin. I hope you enjoy it.

For a while, it will be a training arc. From Chapter 7, I will become stronger, and from Chapter 8, the heroine will appear. I hope you look forward to it.
