Utsuro no Hako:Volume1 Interlude

Utsuro no Hako:Volume1 Interlude

I am inside a scene I can’t remember outside of my dreams.
I have accepted the ‘box’ from him.
“Please be at ease! Usually there are risks to such things, but there are none to this. Neither will you lose anything precious, nor will your soul be drained out. You know, it’s not the special characteristic of the tool that adds such negative components, but the nature of the human using it. If you use it correctly, your wish will come true as is.”
If you use it correctly
But is that condition really that simple to meet? I don’t know. I don’t know, but even if there is such a risk, it’s still an extraordinary condition. Just like a certain win at the lottery. There sure is the possibility to destroy one’s life with the big cash. But usually you don’t consider that risk, right?

So please tell me how there can be a person who wouldn’t accept this ‘box’.
“—What’s the meaning of this?”
Because here’s one who passes it back.
“Are you restraining yourself? Can you not believe my words? Or—do you fear me?”
Each applies, of course.
But that’s not my reason. I simply don’t need such a thing.
You see, my wish is that this everyday life continues. I have this already without using that ‘box’.
Like a man that owns a trillion Yen doesn’t strive for a million Yen. Of course I’m aware of its value. But still, I don’t need to accept such a thing from a mysterious human.

Right. I rejected the ‘box’ indeed.

Thus—
Even if I did wish for this recurrence so that my everyday life could continue, there’s no way I’d be the culprit.
