I dragged the bandits' bodies near the tree, "[Hold]". I reused the [Hold] spell on the bandits, so that when they woke up from their stupor, they would be unable to move, because the [Hold] spell is one of the light magic that can stop the movement of the desired target.
After finishing with them, I walked towards the place where the cargo was carried by the horse-drawn carriage, I saw that there were fifteen wooden boxes, quite large and I might not be able to lift them if they were heavy. Out of curiosity, I opened one of the wooden boxes and after opening it I was very surprised and at the same time happy because of my luck.
"I-It's a gold coin"
Inside were many gold coins that glistened in the moonlight. Gold coins in this world are used as currency, and there are three types of currency in this world. They are copper coins, silver coins, and gold coins.
One hundred copper coins are equivalent to one silver coin, and one thousand silver coins are equivalent to one gold coin.
I opened another wooden box, out of the fifteen boxes. There were three wooden boxes containing gold coins, five wooden boxes containing silver coins, two wooden boxes containing luxurious clothes and food, and finally three wooden boxes containing books.
"Books? What are these books?"
I couldn't see clearly because it was too dark, but I felt familiar with the writing on the cover.
*Klotak*
There was a sound from the direction of the thick cloth covering something, being quite vigilant I would immediately grab all the loot and put it away.
"[Arasy]"
A shadow rose to the surface and enveloped all my loot, the items seemed to be swallowed by the darkness. But all I did was move the items to the Arasy.
*Klotak* *Klotak*
The sound came again, it seemed like something was moving inside. Because I was too curious I now checked it, not forgetting while activating spell [Light] as a source of lighting.
As anticipation I lit five [Fire ball] as an additional weapon. I then removed the thick cloth covering it, and when I opened it I saw that there was a girl locked up in a monster cage, she was surprised to see me. The girl was very beautiful, she had blonde hair and green pupils that looked refreshing. But that's not what surprised me at the moment, she looks like a normal human child, but if you look again she has pointed ears, she is also wearing clothes that seem to be typical for her.
"An elf?"
When I said that, she stepped backward. Maybe she thought I would do something to her because she was an elf.
"Ah, you don't need to be afraid, I won't do anything bad to you"
With a smile I tried to dispel the tense atmosphere on her, but she still didn't seem to believe my words.
"T-The most important thing is, I'll free you first"
I combined all five [Fire balls] to melt the lock of this cage, and not only did the lock melt but also the locked door melted.
'Gosh it seems like five [Fire balls] is too much'
Since the cage had been broken into, I extinguished the [Fire ball] and left only the [Light ball] as a source of illumination.
"You don't have to afraid about me, and now you can get out of this cage"
She hesitantly came out from where she was locked up by the bandits, I backed up slightly to give her room to get out.
'She's the first elf I've seen'
After coming out, she looked at me, perhaps because she was still scared and nervous she could look like that. I created a hand-sized dimension that led to the Arasy and I dipped my hand in there, she looked shocked when she saw my hand half cut off.
It was only natural because half of my hand was now in the Arasy, trying to find something. After I thought I found what I was looking for, I grabbed it and pulled my hand back out and the dimension closed again.
I picked up a loaf of bread from the bandit's loot, "You might be hungry, I have some bread. Do you want some?"
I tried to offer her some bread, but she just looked at it and shook her head slowly.
*Krrryyuukk*
But the call of nature cannot be deceived, the sound of a rumbling stomach was heard. Her face turned red and she looked embarrassed, "Pfft" I could only hold back my laughter from coming out.
"Eat up, I know you're hungry."
I gave her some bread and she finally took it and ate it, the way she ate was adorable. I felt like I was watching a squirrel eating.
Because it was too cute, I couldn't help myself. I stroked her head gently. "Eat slowly, no one will steal the food from you."
As I stroked her head she didn't seem to mind when I touched her and she even smiled at me.
*Gguuoooooo*
But I still felt a pressure here, it was in the other direction, there were two cloth-covered objects and I had opened one of them.
I walked to the other place to make sure, but I stopped stepping because there was someone holding my arm from behind.
It was the elf girl from earlier, I tried to speak as softly as possible and asked her "What's wrong?" but she just shook her head and said.
"Don't."
I understood what she meant, she didn't want me to go there. She also seemed to be shaking with fear and couldn't look at the place.
"No need to worry, I'll be fine. You wait here."
I regained my courage and walked over there, honestly I was a little scared. So I reactivated the five [Fire balls]
And when I was in front of the place that was covered with cloth, I immediately removed the cloth and there was also a cage that was intended to confine monsters. But inside, there was someone.
