The 'Item Box' That Only I Can Use Is Bugged - Chapter 5.1: Unlimited Food
After buying groceries for dinner, Okinaga and his family returned home.
Aoi busied herself with household chores such as cleaning and laundry, while Yuji went to his room to handle the paperwork for the swimming school.
Okinaga, on the other hand, retreated to his room to contemplate the abilities he had discovered today.
It was clear that the god had thoughtfully added some extra features to his abilities, but the additional elements were surprisingly powerful.
While he felt that the god might have overdone it, he couldn’t deny how incredibly convenient and practical these features were.
“Well… I did wish for a convenient ‘item box,’ after all…”
Okinaga had no complaints.
In fact, he felt almost guilty for receiving such incredible abilities.
“Still, since I’ve received it, I’ll use it gratefully. Thank you, god.”
He clasped his hands together and offered a silent thanks to the god.
Then, he reopened the list to further examine his abilities.
“Let’s organize this. First, anything ‘retrieved’ into the ‘item box’ instantly becomes unlimited in quantity.”
To test this, he tried “retrieving” items like a picture book and a tissue box from his room.
Just like the previous items, these too became unlimited in quantity.
“This is seriously convenient. Now I’ll never run out of tissues, and I could sell the picture books to a used bookstore for some money. But… increasing money like this is dangerous.”
Of course, if he “retrieved” a ten thousand yen bill, he could have unlimited wealth, but that would be akin to counterfeiting.
Using such money would be too risky. While a criminal might not hesitate, Okinaga wanted to avoid trouble as much as possible.
“Besides, with this ability, I’ll never have to worry about food. That’s more than enough.”
For example, if he lived alone, food expenses would likely be his biggest expenditure.
With this ability, that cost would become nonexistent.
Additionally, household items would only need to be purchased once, making this an incredible boon.
“The ‘erase’ function means I won’t need to worry about trash disposal either.”
Typically, households need to sort their trash and take it to designated disposal areas.
With this ability, he could erase trash without the need for sorting.
“And then there’s the ‘restore’ function, which is incredibly powerful.”
To test it, he felt a bit guilty but tore the cover of a picture book before “retrieving” and “restoring” it.
Afterward, he took it out, and it was as good as new.
“I can’t even begin to describe how useful this is. If there’s something I want, it doesn’t matter if it’s used or broken.”
Even broken electronics could be restored to new.
It was truly a remarkable ability.
So, he decided to “retrieve” everything in his room, only to take them out and put them back in place.
Although not everything he retrieved was immediately necessary, it could all come in handy at some point.
While having unlimited air conditioner remotes or this year’s calendars might seem pointless, he could always erase them if needed.
“Hmm, but everything is ranked ‘F’.”
The items in his room varied in price, from nearly worthless to moderately expensive furniture.
Yet, they were all ranked ‘F’.
