"…what are these?"

"Things that are very useful to you.

Eat them all.

Take these ones too."

Evan gave her a few of the random treasures they found, ones he felt would be good for her before continuing.

"Treat it as an apology for earlier."

As he expected, Griselda had a spatial expansion artifact on her, a bangle; and after appraising it, he found that it had quite a lot of space within it.

A little persuasion from Eliza whom she trusted more than Evan was enough to get her to accept the items and put them in her artifact.

"Don't tell anyone you came here, okay? Though I expect you'd already know that."

"Are you taking me for an idiot?"

"Ask me that again after not trying to enter suspicious magic circles that lead to the home of monsters twice your level."

Evan's retort to Griselda shocked the girl out of her wits. She glanced back at the magic circle in front of the stone shrine with a hint of fear in her gaze while Evan only looked at her with an amused smile.
