Morning Nifonium, I was reunited with the group I had encountered before on the basement floor.
　The foreman, the four errand runners, and Margaret, the natural princess, looking as fluffy as ever.

　I was going to walk past them to go to the third basement level, thinking, "Another air box, I'm in business," but the box they were carrying was not there.
　But I noticed that the box they were holding was noticeably different from the previous one.
　A cube box of 30 centimeters square. It has six sides, one of which is pure white.

　I couldn't help but ask the foreman about the strange box.

I asked the foreman, "Excuse me, what is that box?
Yeah?　Oh, you've done this before.

　That's funny you should mention that.

"This is the tool that our company has worked so hard to develop, and it's called the Pandora Box!

　It was almost like a line of concentration was about to be shown on the man's back.
　'Pandora Box, that's a great name.

What's it all about?
You know the collection boxes.
No.
'What, you don't know. There are germaphobes out there who can't eat anything that someone else has touched or that has ever fallen to the ground in a dungeon, right?
...... I'm sure you're there.

　I've never actually had that happen, but I thought there might be such a person.

The collection box is a magic item for such people, if you activate it, it will suck the items into the box the moment the monster drops them. If you use it, you'll have dropped items that no one will touch or fall to the ground.
I see.

　I remembered something I mastered yesterday.
　The thing is, it does things like make me slay slimes on a magic cart and put them straight into the cart, automatically.

"Based on that, I've spent over 300 million pounds of my company's money on this Pandora Box!　Watch.

　The man said, and the group's "air hunt" began.
　The skeleton goes out, the four errand runners weaken it, and Princess Margaret tops it off.
　The skeleton disappeared and the Pandora box sucked the air out of the drop.

　Soon, Princess Margaret's face was printed on the white side of the box.

''And well, here's what it looks like. That's where the face of the person who made the item drop appears.'
You mean like a grower's label?
'Oh, sometimes people wonder if it's really Princess Margaret's air. This is all we need to prove the princess's air.
I see.

　Well thought out.

"You're an adventurer, aren't you?　I'll give you a few Pandora boxes and you can use these to promote them to your friends.

　The man then shoved five Pandora boxes at me.
　I don't mind the publicity, but this doesn't mean much to me.

　　　　　☆

　Three floors underground in Nifonium, I beat up Mummy and got my speed seeds.
　Without any incidents, I continued to stay in the morning, and my speed went from E to D.
　When I was about to go out of the dungeon after I finished my daily ability raising, I noticed something.

　This Pandora Box, or rather the collection box, is the same.
　I wondered if I couldn't use it to collect seeds, collect them, and then take them out.

　I returned to the basement floor, where I found it.
　The basement floor is a skeleton, and with my unique skill, the drop is an HP seed.
　If I can get the seeds out, I want to give them to my roommate Emily, then I'll need HP first.

　Activate the box, kill the skeleton.
　The seed drops--it gets sucked into the box!

　Well, well, well, this is going to work!
　I excitedly packed a box full of HP seeds and left Nihonium.

　　　　　Stars.

I can't get it. ......

　When he joined us, he offered the box to Emily and tried to get her to take the seeds, but she couldn't get them.

'Oh well: ......'
After all, only Yoda can take it.
I thought it would work. In fact, I was able to bring it outside the dungeon.
It couldn't be helped. The seed was for Yoda's use only, after all.

　Emily wasn't discouraged.
　She thought that if she could catch the seed, she could eventually reach her full capacity, but it didn't seem to work out that way.

'That's a shame. What am I going to do with this?
I'll have to make it into a haggler and replace it with an item. What would a skeleton be?
Freezer bullets. Well, you'd think they'd be able to mass-produce frozen bullets.

　I got there and stopped.
　For a moment, something went through my head.

　So far, the only way to get the freezer bullets was to kick the skeleton out the doorway and take it down in a second.
　The reason why this was so is because the seeds would be gone if I touched them, so I couldn't take them out and haggle them.
　Other humans can be defeated and turn into air - by the way, air and water don't create haggler things.

　That's why it was hard to take frozen bullets.
　However, if you use a Pandora box or a collection box, you can bring out a large amount of seeds like this.

　While asking in my mind, I put the box far away and moved away.
　After a while, the box exploded, and the seeds all turned into skeletons - hagglers - all at once.

　Guns at the ready, ramming and firing wildly.
　I took down all of the nearly 50 skeletons without missing a beat.

　Then all of them dropped frozen bullets.
　What was a struggle for just one round became 50 frozen bullets at once.

''Yoda-san, that's amazing.''
No, not yet.
What?
If you can do this...

　　　　　★

　I placed the Pandora box just outside the Nifonium dungeon, in the middle of nowhere.

　Stay away, wait - the zombies hatched in droves (...).
　What I was sure of, I could afford.
　Loaded with freezer bullets, I froze the ground with the lower half of 50 zombies, and then one by one, I hit them with a headshot.

　And what came out was 50 rounds of frozen bullets and different bullets.
　I picked them up, loaded them into my gun and shot them into a nearby tree.

　The moment it hit, a magic circle came out--the tree was on fire!
　The zombie bullet taken using the box was a flaming fireball.

　It was another possible moment of nihonium.
