Receive the box from Philip.
It's big enough for a woman to hold me with both hands.
”Can't you open it?
Ah.
When I asked, Philip began to explain.
”This is a treasure chest passed down from ancestors to generations. 'If there is anything, use what is in it.' But no one has ever been able to open it, and I don't even know what's inside.”
And Philip shrugged his shoulders.
It is an old treasure chest.
It looked worn out, either because it had been exposed to the rain wind for a long time.
However, it is tightly sealed and it is unlikely to be opened easily.
”Can I give it a try?
”Of course.”
I try to open the treasure chest with all my strength.
But...
”It's really hard.....”
The treasure chest didn't even say goodbye and didn't even open it.
”This is going to be difficult.”
”Isn't it?
I let go of the treasure chest once.
Hmm... was it originally designed to be difficult to open?
Or has it been left behind for a long time, and the box has broken naturally so you can't open it?
”Elaine, can I borrow some of your money?
”Here you go.”
Douglas peeked at him with interest, so he gave him the chest.
On the other hand, I continue my conversation with Philip even further.
”Do you have any idea what's inside?
”That's right. But according to the legend,” When the time is full, nature will be able to open the box ”....”
”I see. Now might not be the time.”
”Exactly. But it was just left in the village warehouse for a long time, and nowadays people don't take the legend seriously. Then I thought it would be a little more useless to give up what was right.”
A long time ago?
That means....
”Couldn't the Virgin who visited here 200 years ago open it?
”Oh, I asked for it just like Elaine did. But the results were the same.”
That's right.
If the Virgin can't open it, I doubt it will ever open it again.
I'm sorry about Philip, but I can't seem to keep up with expectations--
”It's open.”
I thought so.
I was surprised to hear the Douglas voice, and everyone turned to you.
”Ah, it's open!?
I have an unexpected strange voice.
When I looked away, the treasure chest that I had just put so much effort into and didn't say no was open like a lie.
The Douglas said, ”Did I do something strange?” and his face.
”Well, how did you open it?
”No... normally. Use your strength.....”
When I heard that, I remembered the strange feeling that my shoulders had somehow relaxed.
