Chapter 65

「Cedric-san, do you know of Dietlinde?」

「Dietlinde, is it? …… If I’m not mistaken, I heard such name in a report doc.u.ments before…… Ah! Wasn’t it the sunken ship of this store?」

「Yes, that’s right. There fortunately were no casualties, but that was a really heavy blow……」

Yeah, as I thought, that mark is this store’s mark without a doubt.

「In fact, the ship――Dietlinde, that sunk to the bottom of the sea, I have recovered it……」

「「…… Yes?」」

When I convey that I have recovered the sunken ship, Cedric-san and the branch manager-san stare at me with absentminded expressions.

「…… The ship has sunk, you know?」

「Yes, I have found it at the bottom of the sea」

「…… I think the report said it sunk quite deep, though……」

「Just a bit of long-distance swim」

「…… The ship should be a large model, how did you recover it?」

「I can use《Infinite Storage》. You have not heard from Isaac-san?」

「…………」

Cedric-san asks questions one after another, but after I simply answer them, he eventually becomes silent.

I thought that Isaac-san reported everything about me, but it appears he didn’t tell Cedric-san about this.

I see, he didn’t know about the《Infinite Storage》…… it appears I have exposed myself.

Well,《Infinite Storage》is convenient. I have gotten used to the life on Aetherdia too, it would be troublesome to keep on hiding it……

「I’m sorry. I have not heard from Isaac about this. Have you really recovered Dietlinde?」

「Yes」

「So, what does Tak.u.mi-san want to do with that ship?」

「Eh? Wouldn’t you normally return it?」

Because I picked up a lost item, I feel like it should have been returned to the owner, but……

N~? In j.a.pan, found articles have to be delivered to the police. It should have been a usurpation if I took it…… what, is it different over here?

The way Cedric-san is speaking, it makes him sound as if I didn’t have to return it.

「Then, will you return that ship to the owner?」

「Yeah. It seems to be loaded with cargo. Well, it has sunk, so I don’t know what happened to the contents, but I think there should also be things that are safe」

Because the ship has sunk while stacked with cargo, I think there should be a considerable loss. Therefore, I think it would be nice if something was saved, even if little.

「Do you intend not to receive any compensation?」

「Yeah, that was my intention, but? Ah, if the burden of disposal is greater than what came back to you, I won’t force you to take it back?」

Even if you recover what you can still use, there are cases where dismantling and disposing of the damaged goods will cost you, right? In that case, I wouldn’t mind letting it fertilize in the《Infinite Storage》, you see.

「No! I think there are more things to obtain. Isn’t that so?」

「Yes! Just as you said!」

When Cedric-san asks, the branch manager agrees exaggeratedly.

I’m told that ships on Aetherdia move with magic stones, and the magic stone used on this ship is considerably large and fairly valuable.

Apparently, because the cause of the sinking was damage in the ship’s bottom which caused flooding, the magic stone has no problems and recovering that magic stone will sharply decrease the losses.

Listening further, found articles on Aetherdia are apparently fine to keep by those who find them. Even if you know the owner.

What’s easy to understand is goods stolen by bandits. Those who exterminate the bandits have the rights to keep the stolen goods. In case the owner wants to recover the stolen goods by any means, he must buy back the goods with an appropriate amount of money.

While listening to Cedric-san’s explanation, which reminds me, I have such knowledge, don’t I~ I suddenly recall. It appears that considering Earth standards is mostly no good.
