Hyeon Gyu-ha, who had been unusually silent, suddenly covered his eyes with his hands and avoided In Yoo--shin's face. He seemed very embarrassed.
“Why are you doing this?”
“………………Master, you are so dazzling. A holy halo shines so brightly that a filthy human like me cannot even dare to look at you………………. How could such a dirty, trashy creature have such a holy master as Yoo-shin-ssi………………. I am truly blessed……………….”
This was a new pattern. Even In Yoo-shin, who usually ignored his nonsense, blushed with embarrassment.
"………………Anyway, do you have it?"
"There is something called………………. ‘Eye of Munin’………………."
Hyeon Gyu-ha took out a new artifact from the inventory with an extremely embarrassed face and offered it with both hands. It seemed that, aside from weapons, there were several times more items in his inventory than the things in In Yoo-shin’s house.
The artifact presented with great reverence was carved in the shape of a small, flying raven, just as the myth describes a pair of ravens reporting to Odin.
“If I use ‘Eyes of Munin’, I can see your movements 24 hours a day. Is that okay? Honestly, this is also very useful for stalking.”
“I’m just at home all the time unless I’m meeting Gyu-ha-ssi or Seung-gi. It’s not like I go to any weird places that I can’t tell you about, so it’s okay.”
“As expected, my holy Master………………. Shouldn’t my Master be praised as one of the five greatest saints in the world?”
In Yoo-shin quickly changed his words with a red face.
"So what should I do?"
“My record of my ownership has already been made, so all you have to do is inject mana into it, Yoo-shin-ssi. If you don’t have mana, you can drop blood.”
Hyeon Gyu-ha said, pointing his finger at the air where the Mana was quickly injected.
“Yoo-shin-ssi, you can’t see it, but here, in the left………………. No, your location is shown. You’re in a hospital bed.”
"Wow, it's so detailed?"
“When you enlarge the screen, it updates in real time even if you move less than 1 meter.”
In Yoo-shin looked up at the empty space in wonder. Although he couldn't see anything with his own eyes.
“Odin’s ravens are Munin and Hugin. Do you happen to have the ‘Eye of Hugin’?”
"Yes. As expected, there's nothing our Master doesn't know. It was originally a set artifact with the 'Eye of Munin', but it was discovered 30 years ago and its whereabouts became unknown. I heard that it's much more useful if both sides use a set together... Anyway, since it can be used not only for stalking but also for security, governments around the world are after it, but there's still no news of it being found. Well, they might have hidden it when they found."
“How did you get it, Gyu-ha-ssi?”
"I obtained it fair and square from the dungeon."
Hyeon Gyu-ha gave an interesting explanation of how he obtained the artifact in the dungeon where Valkyrie was talking to the crow, and In Yoo-shin, who was also amused by the dungeon story, perked up his ears.
“All of this arduous farming process is dedicated to the saint In Yoo-shin-nim who came down from heaven to save the lowly, subhuman Hyeon Gyu-ha……………….”
In the end, In Yoo-shin ended up covering Hyeon Gyu-ha's mouth with a pillow.

The embarrassment caused by Hyeon Gyu-ha's ambiguous remarks, whether they were true or false, helped him regain his energy. He also felt bad about taking sick leave during the busy time of the gate clearance, so he was discharged on Tuesday.
While he was eating breakfast and packing his bag, Hyeon Gyu-ha suddenly took out 'Mandukai's Booth'(만두카이의 부스) and 'Jung-Gin Cartoon's Buck-Tuck'(중긴 카툰의 벅특) from the inventory.
“I almost forgot to give it to you, Master.”
It was an artifact worth 30 billion won. In Yoo-shin was extremely nervous and received the artifacts with both hands. When he realized that he was holding 30 billion won, his hands started to tremble.
“But where should I keep this? If I leave it at home, I’ll be too scared to go outside because I’m afraid thieves will come in………………… A bank safe?”
I was worried that the bank vault would be expensive to use, but Hyun Gyu-ha responded nonchalantly.
“You can just put it in your inventory.”
“This is too heavy to fit in my inventory.”
“………………The two of them combined wouldn’t even weigh 2 kilograms?”
“It definitely won’t work.”
“……”
In Yoo-shin emptied his inventory and showed it to Hyeon Gyu-ha. All he had was a few small bags of hamster food that he had divided up for emergency use. Hyeon Gyu-ha, who saw this, had an expression like a tycoon who had entered a goshiwon for the first time in his life.
He was in agony, pressing his forehead with a shocked expression, and only after a long time had passed since In Yoo-shin had finished packing his bags did he finally fall into deep slumber.
“There is a crafting item that can slightly increase the capacity of inventory. It has the worst cost-effectiveness, so few people use it……………… It’s not a time to be picky.”
“If I add just one more kilogram, I’ll have doubled in weight.”
“………………That’s right.”
In Yoo-shin just laughed because he found it amusing to see him being shocked one after another like a tycoon experiencing common people's experiences.
Actually, I don't need to increase the capacity of the inventory, but I wanted to do something that could help him even a little. Hyeon Gyu-ha doesn't need my buff right now, but if I carry an artifact that increases mana in the inventory, I might be able to help him someday.
In Yoo-shin tightly wrapped the ring on his left hand with his right hand as if he was making a pledge. The curve of the hamster poking the skin of his palm seemed to give him strength.
Not only is there support from the government, but the guilds that use the items and weapons produced in the workshop are also well-supported. Thanks to this, the workshop streets are densely packed with the highest-quality shield cores that block the approach of the monsters. In Yoo-shin looked around with a curious expression, recalling the joke that it was the safest place after the Blue House and the headquarters of large guilds.
“Have you never been to Gongbang Street?”
“Because I don’t have any need to buy crafted items.”
“Well, come to think of it, I’ve never bought anything from a workshop before.”
I have one more thing in common with Hyeon Gyu-ha. Unlike me, he doesn't buy anything because he has more than enough artifacts.
"Hyung-nim!"
"You're back soon? Congratulations on your discharge. Are you feeling okay?"
“After getting an IV, I feel fine.”
Before leaving the hospital, Kwon Seong-gil, who had been waiting for Hyeon Gyu-ha’s call, patted In Yoo-shin on the shoulder. A broad smile appeared on In Yoo-shin’s lips, and a small frown appeared between Hyeon Gyu-ha’s eyebrows.
In Yoo-shin turned around when Hyeon Gyu-ha, who was behind him, suddenly grabbed the bottom of his T-shirt and pulled it.
“Oh, Gyu-ha-ssi. Why?”
“……?”
Kwon Seong-gil opened his mouth next to the smiling In Yoo-shin.
"I couldn't ask you properly because I got a call while I was eating, but it wasn't Gyu-ha, but Yoo-shin's inventory capacity that was expanded?"
“I bought an artifact that increases mana to give to Master, but it couldn’t enter the inventory because of its weight. What a fatal mistake……………….”
“Ahem, big………………. Okay.”
Kwon Sung-gil seemed to have the words ‘What are you going to do with the increased mana of Yoo-shin?’ on the tip of his tongue, but like a wise adult, he did not say them out loud. It was the most benign reaction he had ever experienced, so In Yoo-shin’s eyes were filled with laughter again.
“In order to increase the inventory capacity, you need to use Orichalcos, which has the highest mana conductivity, but to be honest, I don’t recommend it. Considering the price, it’s so inefficient that it’s much cheaper to just drag a carrier around.”
“How can I make his delicate arms carry such a heavy carrier?”
In Yoo-shin glanced down at his arm. But I guess I’ve been working out a bit lately, so I’m not that skinny.
“I don’t recommend it, but I can’t not do it if they’re offering me money. It’s not that difficult since the crafting technique is complete, Yoo-shin-ah.”
"Yes."
“You can come before the process and inject your mana. Before that, think about what kind of tattoo you want.”
“A tattoo?”
“That’s because it’s not a wearable item. You have to mix Oreichalcos with a special solution made from crystals and tattoo it on your body. Keep in mind that the size of the tattoo will vary depending on the dosage.”
I already have tattoos of tamed hamsters and bats on my left wrist, so it wouldn't hurt to get more.
“Yoo-shin-ssi, how many kilograms do you want to gain?”
“It’s enough to store the artifacts.”
A larger capacity would be more convenient, but what else would I put in there besides hamster food or hamster treats?
After hearing In Yoo-shin’s answer, Hyeon Gyu-ha started discussing with Kwon Seong-gil. Even though they went into specialized areas such as mixing Oreichalcos and special solutions and procuring materials, he couldn’t properly understand the conversation.
As the conversation continued, two men came out of the inner office. One of them was someone In Yoo-shin also knew.
“Hello, secretary.”
"Yoo-shin-ssi! I heard you were hospitalized, but you're already discharged? I've been so busy with the Gate incident that I haven't even been able to visit you."
It was Han Jun-su who seemed as friendly as Park Seung-gi. The man who came out with him was Kwon Seung-gil’s disciple, so he was introduced separately. Han Jun-su explained that he had come to the workshop in person to order the guild’s weapons that had been consumed at the gate of the ‘King who respects even a single blade of grass.’
“Does your secretary even do things like this?”
“Haha. As for me, while my usual job is attending to the Guild Leader, I figured it's good to visit Master Kwon directly, also to show my face. What brings you here, Yushin?”
“To increase the inventory capacity.”
“Oh, that tattoo? I have that too.”
In Yoo-shin was horrified when he saw the tattoo on Han Jun-su's arm as he strode up the sleeves of his suit.
