I scanned the drawers and the books on the bookshelf to make sure there was no strainer.

 Kazuma Sato turned to leave the room, but suddenly stopped half a step back, blinked at the glowing red suit hanging on the wall, and thought, "This can be opened too?"

 The light condensed and eventually turned red.

 [Item: Key Card for the Underground Workshop of Tohsaka Villa]

 [Type: Key Card]

 [Durability: 10/10]

 [Description: "An ancient family that occupies the entire highlands of Fukayama-cho, actually sits atop a spiritual vein, and the family's secrets are stored in its basement."]

 "Interesting, let's go down and open it later."

 Kazuma Sato stepped out of the room and, following the map, went to the bedroom of an NPC named Rin Tohsaka.

 Pushing open the door, the room was relatively simple, with only a large bed, a bedside table, and a safe; it didn't look like a girl's room at all.

 The picture frame placed on the bedside table emitted a white glow.

 Kazuma Sato stepped forward and gently picked it up:

 [Prop: [Rin Tohsaka's family photo]]

 【Type: Home Furnishings】

 [Quality: White]

 [Description: "This photo was taken ten years ago and holds this family's most cherished memories."]

 "Hehe, isn't that cute?"

 Kazuma Sato looked at the family of four in the photo, with two little girls being held in the middle by their parents, and naturally put the family photo into his backpack.

 "The character design in this game is really good."

 He made a brief comment and then turned to look for other glowing items.

 But there was practically nothing to eat in the room.

 Except for that big safe.

 "Hehe, let me see what's going on?"

 Kazuma Sato crouched down, sticking out his tongue in a gluttonous pose, and was about to grab something when a voice came from behind him:

 "Wait a minute, there's a magical aura about it."

 [Cú Chulainn] spoke up, also leaning closer to examine the cylindrical secret box:

 "The specially made combination lock is magically encrypted. If you enter the wrong combination, there will be problems. I need to decipher it, which may be a bit difficult."

 "Um...no need."

 Kazuma Sato slightly raised his hand, and the panel of the large safe appeared in his field of vision:

 【Item: 【Tohsaka Family's Special Safe】】

 [Type: Insurance]

 [Rank: White]

 [Description: "A magical safe created by Tokiomi Tohsaka. Originally, it would explode and repel those nearby if the password was entered incorrectly, while also serving as an alarm. However, because Rin Tohsaka repeatedly entered the wrong password, the safe was modified so that it would no longer explode no matter how many times the password was entered incorrectly."]

 "It's actually quite simple."

 Kazuma Sato aligned the glowing runes in a row and turned down the knob, opening the safe and revealing three items inside.

 The first item is a two-slot item of gold quality, which is actually something like a circuit?

 【Item: Tohsaka Family Magic Crest】】

 [Type: Inheritance/Legacy/Curse]

 Grade: Gold (Inferior)

 [Introduction: "This is the result of hundreds of years of inheritance by the Tohsaka family. It is something that several generations have spent their entire lives refining and solidifying. It can be said to be the most precious legacy, but it is also a crystallized curse of an unfinished obsession, bearing the function of maintaining the continuation of the family's research."]

 [Function: [Mark Transplant B], a magic mark is actually a special organ that can only be matched with a blood relative. If forcibly transplanted, it will cause a rejection reaction. It can only be transplanted gradually during puberty, and the recipient can gradually adapt through medication and the help of the [Tunneler].]

 [Note 1: There are two methods for creating a Magic Crest. The first Magic Crest was created by capturing a Mystic Species or by embedding a fragment of a high-grade Mystic Code into the body and then refining it through the continuous adaptation of the human body over several generations.]

 [There are almost no magicians in modern times who use this method. The magical crests obtained through this method are, in a sense, ancient living beings, the most powerful crests, and even possess their own consciousness.]

 [Note 2: Generally, magicians directly seek out powerful families and obtain a branch from them. This kind of magic crest is relatively low-risk and highly controllable, but at the same time, its fixed and mysterious function is lost. The Tohsaka Family Magic Crest is an example of this.]

 This is the first time I've released a low-quality gold item.

 Kazuma Sato made an "O-0" face with his eyes wide open, but thinking about it, it makes sense. Magicians' stuff is either a curse or a side effect, and it doesn't seem to be of much use... It's already pretty good that it was rated as gold.

 Take it back and sell it for money; I doubt anyone would want to use it.

 The remaining two props are both purple and not very interesting. Let's go find Kohei.

 Kazuma Sato went downstairs, where Kohei Imamura was waiting at the bottom of the stairs.

 The two greeted each other as if it were a casual, everyday greeting.

 "Have you finished eating?"

 "I'm full, how about you?"

 "show me."

 Kazuma Sato took Kohei Imamura's bag, looked at the pile of white and green items mixed with a little blue inside, his lips twitched, and stuffed the [Magic Mark] into his bag before handing it back.

 "I don't think it'll work. Let's go get a card."

 He took out the red key card for the "Tohsaka Villa Underground Workshop" and flicked it.

 "Let's find the entrance to the basement."

 "OK."

 The two quickly began searching and soon found the hidden entrance to the key room.

 "Here you go."

 Kazuma Sato tossed the key card to Kohei Imamura: "Try opening it."

 "I'm not as lucky as you, so forget it."

 "It's just a game. Besides, luck is something you can improve with practice."

 "Can this be trained?"

 Kohei Imamura gave him a look that said, "I'm not listening to your nonsense," but he didn't refuse out of genuine kindness and swiped his card.

 The clicking sound was incredibly pleasant to hear.

 There's a golden beaker on the table near the entrance.

 Cú Chulainn went in first and waved to them:

 "There is no danger."

 He put his hands on his hips, looked up, and seemed speechless. Finally, he could only manage to stammer out:

 "How come the journey was so smooth? We were all prepared for a big battle, but we only burned a bug along the way."

 "Thanks."

 Kazuma Sato and Kohei Imamura thanked him and began to loot.

 "Holy crap, my bag is stuffed full."

 "Throw away all the little white things in your bag."

 "Don't worry, I'll optimize it."

 Kazuma Sato gave the look of someone looking at him. Back in the day, they weren't picky eaters either, stuffing any props they could into their bags... and they still are now.

 However, he is a bit picky about food; he won't put anything white in his bag unless it's something special.

 The [Rin Tohsaka Family Photo] shown earlier is a very unique example.

 His intuition told him he had to take one.

 "Kazuma, Kazuma, insurance, insurance, come and open it!"

 Kohei Imamura pulled out the shiny black box-like safety mechanism from a pile of old books, while commenting:

 "This family is really messy. There wasn't a single clean place I searched."

 Rin Tohsaka: "?" (Angry)

 [Rin Tohsaka: "I live alone here, how am I supposed to clean? Tell me, how am I supposed to clean such a big villa with a yard all by myself? Let me ask you this:"]

 [Ruri Gokou: "Can't we hire a maid to clean it? Or if that's not possible, we can always hire a cleaning lady, right?"]

 [Rin Tohsaka: "Why would a magician hire an ordinary person to clean their house? What if they find something bad? I... I'd have to cover it up."]

 [Luvia: "Oh ho ho ho, how embarrassing, Rin Tohsaka~"]

 [Luvia: "Your family has truly fallen on hard times. Can't you even afford to hire servants?"]

 Rin Tohsaka: "Tsk"

 [Luvia: "If you're having a really hard time winning an argument with me, I might be able to help you out. You can become my personal maid, and I'll pay you a high salary."]

 [Rin Tohsaka: "Don't even dream about it! I, Rin Tohsaka, would rather starve to death than work for you!"]

 [Red A: "Interesting. (Trying not to laugh)"]

 [Momonga: "I'm so envious of Kazuma's drop rate."]

 [Tachimi: "I... suspect that he might just casually kill a monster and get a legendary item as a drop."]

 [Barnier: "He doesn't want anything right now, but if he really wanted something, it would surely come true."]

 [Hei Luo Hei Luo: "Wow, if we had this much luck back then, even just 1/10, we could have saved a lot of effort in crafting guild weapons."]

 [Flying Squirrel: "Yeah, back then we all stayed up all night or took time off work, and some of us even argued with our wives. Looking back now, it was really... funny."]

 [Shiroe: "Haha, getting into arguments with your girlfriend while playing MMOs is a common occurrence in every guild."]

 [Haruhiro: "I really hope it goes live soon..."]

 [Manado: "Yes, reality and fantasy are always different... Although I don't remember the memories of coming here, I still remember the emotions."]

 Manado: "I always feel bored in mundane reality and crave excitement, but when I actually enter the fantasy world, I realize how important a peaceful life is."

 [Tetu: "Only games where players can't die can be considered true games"]

 [Rick: "Shubi and I will create a world where everyone can sit down and play equally, without anyone having to pay with their lives."]

 [Special Image: "You will succeed—A pledge to your legacy"]

 [Rick: "Swearing an oath to one's will... Wait, how did you know that?!"]

 [Tetu: "Well, who knows?"]

 [Tetu: "Don't worry, I mean no harm. In a sense, you are my [father]."]

 Rick: "Father...?"

 [Shubi: "Rick, you cheated on me?! (Shocked) (Feeling wronged) (Eyes turn red)"]

 [Rick: "Hey, calm down, I...I'm still Chu Nan, how could I possibly have a child?" (Sweating profusely)]

 [Tetu: "Haha, I wish I could see you again, let's continue playing chess!"]

 [Rick: "Playing chess? Wait, you...who are you?!"]

 [Tetu: "Shh! We'll talk about it later."]

 A world like a chessboard.

 Tetu sat on the king chess piece, gazing into the distance.

 "We really lost."

 He closed his eyes and smiled:

 "If we want everyone to be happy... shouldn't that include the deceased?"

 Unexpectedly, I lost completely because of my game philosophy.
