The chains binding it disappeared.
The Cursed Item slowly stood up on two legs.
It looked at me.
"From today, your on-duty name will be Dante," I said.
It didn't respond or nod.
That was normal.
It probably didn't know how to speak anything other than "Capture", "Subject" and numbers.
Gestures like nodding were human, and it wasn't human.
Still, there was a clear sign that it had accepted the name I gave to it.
A new screen appeared in front of me.
[Cursed Item: Security Guard #$% → Security Guard #$% / Dante]
"Alright, now go into my Inventory."
I opened my palm and activated the Inventory Rune.
Dante stared at my face for a moment, as if hoping I would change my mind.
'Does it not like the inventory after being kept inside it for a month?'
'Well, I don't have any other place so he would have to adjust.'
I waited.
After a few seconds, it dragged its feet forward and entered the glowing rune on my palm.
Once it disappeared, I let out a quiet breath.
