Chapter 82: The Girl and the Mysterious Treasure Chest

"Claire, Anvis, let's open this chest first and see what's inside, shall we?"

Unlike Anvis, upon entering the room, Pekara's gaze was instantly captured by the large chest.

"Alright, but let's stay vigilant. Remember, 'A loaf of bread isn't done until it is completely baked, no matter the stage of the baking process.①'"

After a quick survey of the room's furnishings, Claire nodded slightly and cautiously advised before joining Pekara by the chest, ready to watch her open it.

The chest was made of demon-repelling metal, with handles embedded on both sides and a shield-shaped metal plaque with mysterious symbols on the front.

"Got it, I'm going to open it now—"

Pekara crisply responded, stepping back slightly. The white gemstone on her pinky ring lit up, then she waved her magic wand towards the chest.

"Click—"

The metal torso of the chest shook, but it didn't open as it appeared to be locked.
